The Border Town Wanderer instinctively cast a decoupling skill, but received a cold notification:
[Your decoupling artifact: The Galvin Clan Emblem has a total priority level of (7), while the control skill on the target equipment: Spider Web Trap has a total priority level of (9).]
[You cannot immediately release the control, but the duration of the Spider Web Trapās hold on you will be reduced by 50%, remaining (2.5) seconds!]
"How could it be a priority level of 9...this is Dark Gold Equipment!"
The Border Town Wandererās eyes widened, staring at the Dark Gold Tower Shield thrust into the ground, a mix of jealousy, unwillingness, and resentment surged in his heart!
But he had no time to cry out.
In those 2.5 seconds, the Blood Spider had already put away the hand crossbow, touched her thigh, and pulled out two daggers glowing green, and was slicing toward the Border Town Wanderer.
Fortunately, the Border Town Wanderer could still attack and defend, swinging his tachi to deflect the attacks of the Blood Spider and the two Enhanced Spider Demons, trying to hold on until the 2.5 seconds passed.
However, the Blood Spider crossed her daggers, sliding them along the tachi blade edge and stepping into the inner circle of the tachi! Clearly taking advantage of the fact that the Border Town Wanderer could not move during this period.
With a hissing sound, the Blood Spiderās daggers left cross-shaped wounds on the Border Town Wandererās chest while the green glow of the daggers intensified.
The Border Town Wanderer felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a fountain of blood sprayed out, cascading over the daggers.
[You have been affected by the Blood Spiderās set weapon skill: Plunder, reducing your main attributes by (18) points for 30 seconds! The reduced attributes will be transferred equally to the Blood Raider Armor Setās bonuses.]
The Border Town Wandererās face changed again. The accumulated attribute gap was as high as 36 points!
Both he and the Blood Spider were Level 6 heroes with agility specialization, and their original attribute difference was minimal, with the Border Town Wanderer having a slight advantage. But now, the power dynamic was completely reversed.
The Blood Spider continuously activated enhancing skills, breaking the 120-point barrier in agility! Her movements were ghostly, and the Border Town Wanderer, with his attribute disadvantage, could only defend passively, struggling to cope.
"Chen Ge, help me hold them off for 30 seconds!" the Border Town Wanderer shouted.
His tachi unleashed a series of fierce gales, activating the Wind Blade Mystical Arts disregarding the energy loss, forcing the Blood Spider not to attack forcefully.
Fortunately, the other Thorn Cutters were now free from the web trap and helped take on the two Enhanced Spider Demonsā attacks.
Chen Ge stood atop a large tree. At some point, she had stopped her Enemy of Nature mystical arts.
Faced with the Border Town Wandererās plea, Chen Ge ignored him, turning her attention to the battle between Bai Pu and Lugo!
With a raised hand, a small vortex of green light appeared above Chen Geās head, from which a wooden spear with fresh green leaves emerged, floating leisurely towards Bai Pu.
The speed of this wooden spear wasnāt fast, and Bai Pu paid it no mind.
He activated [Scorpion-tailed Lionās Sting] and [Giant Tuoās Fierce Eye] accessory skills, and with high attack power from wielding the sword with both hands, he had already pressured the Level 7 warrior Lugo, leaving several deep, bone-revealing wounds!
As the wooden spear flew in, Bai Pu shifted his position to dodge it.
However, the spearhead of the wooden spear constantly, redirected to point at Bai Pu as he moved, as if it were equipped with navigation.
Bai Pu had to stop his offensive, retaliating with a strike aimed at the wooden spear.
But when the blade struck the wooden spear, it was as if it hit a phantom. The wooden spear, it turned out, was not a summoned entity but purely composed of natural energy!
Slashing the wooden spear was akin to slashing at flowing water. After the blade passed, the spear remained undamaged!
In the next moment, the wooden spear landed on Bai Puās chest.
Bai Pu instantly felt a suffocating sensation, as if a seed burrowed into his chest, forcefully taking root, sprouting, attempting to grow from his chest!
Fortunately, Bai Pu was in the state of Blood River Territory Fighting Qi external release!
The Blood River Fighting Qi washed over, suppressing the natural magic seed, eroding its energy.
Due to Bai Puās higher priority, the Blood River Fighting Qi was purer than Chen Geās natural energy, resulting in a suppression effect of 66.7%! Although the spell still caused damage, its duration was reduced to 33.3%.
Eventually, a small sapling sprouted from Bai Puās chest, ceasing growth due to energy exhaustion.
Bai Pu glanced at Chen Ge, with one hand gripping the dead sapling, yanking it out of his chest!
The saplingās tiny roots tore him, causing blood to gush out. However, with his high endurance of 90 points, the muscles in his chest automatically closed the blood vessels, halting further bleeding.
Bai Puās life value was reduced by 319 points from the wooden spear, and removing the sapling cost him another 408 points!
The excruciating pain surged but meant little to Bai Pu. He was truly wary of Chen Geās powerful attack ability, as this one skill lopped off 727 points of his life value!
If there was no Blood River Fighting Qi suppression, the sapling might have grown longer, and pulling it out would have cost over a thousand life value points.
"If she casts three more... no, six more of such skills, Iād have to say goodbye to my 3000 life points."
Having taken damage, Bai Pu had already stored an adaptive evolution state against "wood-element damage"! The next time Chen Ge attacked, he could use adaptive evolution to halve the damage.
Hampered by Chen Ge, the Thorn Cutter Warrior Lugo, with his life value reduced by nearly half, hurriedly fled, already several dozen meters away.
But he couldnāt escape!
The shoulder guard on Bai Pu flashed blue, activating the Charge Skill, like a heavy truck crashing into Lugo!
During the charge, immune to slowdown effects of priority level (7) or lower! Although Chen Ge hastily cast an equipment-attached slowdown skill, she could only watch as the "Immunized" words were helplessly invoked.
Lugoās body was knocked back a short distance, Bai Puās great sword slashed at an upward angle, triggering the Wind-Seeking Effect, making Lugo stagger and retreat, with the final blow wrapped in the strong Blood River Fighting Qi triggering the Shattering Mountain Effect!
Lugoās body suddenly froze, and then a large burst of blood erupted from his chest as he fell backward lifeless.
A large golden treasure chest floated out.
Bai Pu reached out to grab the treasure chest, turning his gaze.
On the other side, the battle between the Blood Spider and the Border Town Wanderer had reversed.
The Border Town Wanderer endured the attribute reduction for 30 seconds at the cost of over half his professional energy loss. By this time, Bai Pu had pursued Lugo, so the Blood River Territory no longer covered the area.
Only the demonic power release accompanying the Dark Gold Tower Shield, with its cast web, retained some stickiness, draining life value.
Feeling his body return to normal, the Border Town Wanderer couldnāt help but let out a cold laugh, as his tachi suddenly unleashed a cyan wind blade phantom, slicing forward.
The Blood Spider raised her daggers to parry. Her technique was flawless, with the daggers accurately blocking the weakest point of the tachiās strike.
It was a perfect parry.
However, the cyan wind blade phantom bypassed the defense of the daggers, with the residual force slicing onward!
Shhrrip!
The Blood Spiderās body surface was marked with two blood trails.
"You must be the Blood Spider, from the East Sea Witch Family?"
The Border Town Wanderer coldly laughed, "Your foundation is good, with decent combat specialization. But in front of my Wind Blade Mystical Arts, you are still no match!"
