Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 640: Fight bravely

Shadowcrag Forest, unknown region.

For some time now, Earthshaker, Drakthul, and their group had been sweeping the areas around the valley.

However, the Hyenas' territory wasn't large, and the surrounding areas were filled with similar dark creatures, so Earthshaker's group soon ran out of targets.

At this moment, Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis were gathered together, gazing at the dark forest ahead.

Not a single Splitting Hyena dared to enter this forest, as if some terrifying presence lurked within.

"Gravehowl says it's very dangerous inside, that it's the Blind Spiders' territory."

"Should we go in and take a look?"

Earthshaker asked, but no one responded.

Gronthar and Drakthul had also bound Hyenas as mounts, and they too felt a similar sense of fear.

It was a fear originating from the soul; the hyenas were terrified of the forest before them to an extreme degree.

"Nothing found!"

The Storm Vulture returned from afar, and Arden shook his head, indicating his companion had found nothing.

Finding nothing was actually the worst-case scenario.

Judging by the hyenas' fear of this forest, something must be hidden within.

And the Storm Vulture obtaining no intelligence meant its abilities were insufficient to discover the hidden presence or items.

"What do we do now?"

"Return to the valley where the hyenas dwell?"

Selenis frowned deeply; she also vaguely sensed a crisis.

This kind of crisis usually only appeared when facing beings of the same level or kind.

Selenis glanced at the scorpions she had brought, thought for a moment, and proposed an idea.

"I'll send a squad of small scorpions in to see if they discover anything."

Everyone nodded, tacitly agreeing to this proposal.

"In there, there are the auras of many living things."

"Their auras aren't very strong. Killing them should be enough to gather the materials for the graveyard."

Just then, one of the two accompanying necromancers spoke in a hoarse voice, telling everyone the information they wanted to know.

Everyone turned and looked in unison at the two necromancers hidden under their cloaks behind them.

This was the first time they had spoken since leaving the valley.

"Let the skeleton armies take the front. As long as you can hold out for the first half of the battle, leave the rest to us."

This was a kind of confidence, the confidence of the undead race.

Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis exchanged glances, and finally, Drakthul stepped forward to speak.

"Sir, we'll do as you say!"

There was no choice; fulfilling the necromancers' request was Orion's instruction before they descended.

The graveyard currently needed a large amount of bone and corpse materials, and the dark forest before them could provide it; they had to go in, even if it meant biting the bullet.

"Have the skeleton warriors lead the way, with small scorpions guarding both flanks. We'll follow behind and provide support when the time is right."

After discussing and coming up with a plan to enter the forest, they followed the route taken by the previous squad of small scorpions and entered.

The forest was eerily quiet, utterly silent.

There were no crow caws, no sparrow chirps, not even the sound of mosquitoes.

Too strange!

Precisely because it was too quiet, gradually, Earthshaker, Gronthar, Drakthul, Arden, and Selenis all grew tense.

"Enemies approaching! Prepare for battle!"

In this oppressive moment, the hoarse voice of the necromancers behind them sounded.

Before the five could even ask, pairs of greenish-red eyes lit up in the darkness ahead.

To be precise, they were pairs of compound eyes of varying sizes.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Earthshaker, Gronthar, and Drakthul threw their torches into the darkness.

The torches were imbued with the power of blood and life force, which exploded with the flames.

In the flickering firelight, everyone finally saw the enemy clearly.

They were Blind Spiders, some hanging upside down from giant trees, some clinging between tree trunks, some prostrate on the ground... all silently watching them.

"Prepare for battle! It's a Spider colony!"

"Prepare for battle! Circular defensive formation!"

Earthshaker and Drakthul shouted almost simultaneously, and after these two cries, the silent Shadowcrag Forest filled with dense hissing sounds.

The number of Blind Spiders before them was too numerous to count, but this, paradoxically, put everyone somewhat at ease.

The unknown is what's truly terrifying.

But the Blind Spiders they saw now were prey, were dark source crystals.

Under the command of the two necromancers, the skeleton warriors spread out, shielding the main group from the front.

Selenis also reacted quickly, dispatching the small scorpions into the dense forest to establish a defensive line for everyone.

"Watch above!"

Arden reminded everyone. At some unknown point, Blind Spiders had also started attacking from above, hanging upside down from the giant trees over their heads.

In reality, with skeleton warriors and small scorpions as cannon fodder, the Blind Spiders attacking from all sides posed no real threat to the main group.

However, those enemies from the giant trees above were very difficult to deal with.

"Fight bravely! We will summon skeleton archers shortly, and then they will no longer be a threat."

The necromancer's voice sounding at this moment was reassuring and calming.

"Arden, summon the Storm Vulture! Tear open these giant trees above our heads!"

"Also, protect the two necromancers and High Priestess Selenis."

This was Drakthul's command. After issuing it, he, Earthshaker, and Gronthar split in three directions, rushing towards areas where Alpha-level auras were present.

In this desperate struggle, the Hyenas beneath them also suppressed their inner fear and charged out with their masters.

The battle began: it was life or death.

...

The void passage. Orion's expression turned slightly grave.

He hadn't expected that Delilah's and Earthshaker's two invasion teams would both start major battles almost simultaneously.

Orion didn't think this was a coincidence; there had to be some underlying issue.

"Giant King Orion, I have to say, the combat prowess of those subordinates of yours is truly astounding."

Just as Orion was pondering, Lolth, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly spoke.

It was only at this moment that Orion understood Lolth must have been involved in these two incidents.

"It seems you've left quite a few will projection within your territory!"

Knowing the mastermind, the doubt on Orion's face vanished, and he became calm again.

"Giant King Orion, are you angry? Or worried?"

"How about you return some materials to me, and I'll let them off?"
