Chapter Eighty-Four: Crypt Spider
Su Chen did not go with many mages, but quickly advanced on a small path with Gianna.
In fact, he didn't think that after giving up the horses, a group of weak mages would be able to catch up with the crypt spiders in the snowy mountains.
Especially those spiders are undead creatures who don't know anything about tiredness and danger.
"We are already far away from the troops behind, and the road we have chosen is dangerous, with dense forests on both sides, and it is easy to be ambushed." Gianna, who had been following him, said with some concern.
Although she has excellent magical talents, her physical strength is still far inferior to that of Arthas, who was born as a paladin, and she has obviously begun to wheez, and thin beads of sweat have begun to appear on her forehead.
When Su Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Ambush...... I just want those spiders to ambush us. ”
"Oh, what do you have a good plan?" Gianna's eyes lit up.
"You'll know later, in addition to being sharp, this sword of mine has some other powers, but it's not convenient to use in front of the public, otherwise it's easy to cause some misunderstandings." Su Chen lightly raised the long sword in his hand.
"This sword...... You call it Frost Sorrow, right......" Gianna looked at the black sword in his hand, but she looked worried.
"Well, be careful, those spiders are coming, sneaking under the snow." Su Chen reminded with a smile.
Gianna couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly clenched the delicate staff in her hand.
There was a sudden tremor in the otherwise calm snow, and then there was a sudden splash of ice and snow and mud around her, and then she was surprised to see four giant spiders nearly three meters long suddenly break through the snow beside her.
Although she had been ready for battle under Su Chen's reminder, she didn't expect that the place where these spiders appeared would be so close to her, and the appearance of these spiders with teeth and claws was indeed too hideous, and she didn't have time to cast spells to resist in surprise.
Gianna instinctively wanted to use the flicker to escape from the place, but she was worried that Su Chen would be besieged by several spiders if she stayed in place, so she immediately reluctantly cast a magic shield, hoping to block the spider's claws.
However, to her surprise, after the spiders suddenly rushed out of the snow, they immediately lay on their stomachs and did not move, looking almost the same as puppies.
"What's going on?" Gianna looked at Su Chen beside her in surprise, but saw him smiling.
"These are the other abilities of Frost Sorrow I just told you about, one of which is the ability to forcibly control undead creatures." Su Chen said with a smile.
"Ah, can you control these spiders directly?!" Gianna couldn't help but exclaim.
"Well, let's sit down, only by riding these spiders will we have a chance to catch up with those spiders in front." Su Chen said that he had already jumped on the back of a crypt spider, and he was able to control several spiders so quickly, naturally thanks to the early warning provided by Zhi Brain.
Gianna hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to climb the spiders, after all, the appearance of these crypt spiders was too terrifying and hideous.
It wasn't until Su Chen stretched out his hand towards her that she hesitated to pull the spider's back by Su Chen, but after sitting next to Su Chen, she couldn't help but blush, she hadn't been so close to Arthas for a long time.
Due to the long-term drilling in the ground, the body of these spiders has been very smooth, it looks like a cold iron shell, sitting on their backs only feel a chill hit, but this spider is indeed fast on this snowy mountain, far more than those ordinary horses, and because of the more legs, these spiders run very smoothly and not like horses bumpy.
"This sword can control all the undead?" Gianna's face finally softened a little after she got used to the feeling of riding a spider.
"No, we can only control some weak undead at the moment, of course...... It's about my own strength, and I can't fully use the power of Frost Sorrow right now. Su Chen sneered, with his current strength, every time he encountered a powerful enemy, he could only rely on his brain.
"Oh, this sword still feels too dangerous, will it be dangerous for you to carry it all the time?" Gianna hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but remind Su Chen.
She was obviously worried that Su Chen would be affected by this frost grief.
"Rest assured, I can resist the temptation of that evil force, although controlling these undead to fight may seem evil, but it is better than letting ordinary soldiers fight against the undead scourge, let alone ...... Some of the undead actually still have the consciousness of their souls, and this sword can free them from the control of the undead scourge, and these people can be a great help in our fight against the undead scourge. Su Chen explained that he didn't want to hide too much from Gianna, not to mention that he would not be able to give up such a powerful controlling power as Frost Grief in the future.
The crypt spiders were flying through the snow, and there were more and more spiders following Su Chen and the others, these were the guys who tried to attack him and Gianna along the way, and now they were all his subordinates.
Light snow began to fall in the sky, which is a common occurrence in the Alterac Mountains.
This made Su Chen a little worried, after the snow, the traces on the ground were easily covered, and it was difficult to continue tracking even if some spiders were controlled.
"It's troublesome, I can't distinguish the footprints on the ground...... Gianna quickly frowned, once she loses her traces on the ground, it will be difficult to find a needle in a haystack if she wants to find a crypt spider that can escape in this vast mountain.
What's more, after a long time, it is estimated that the undead troops who came to meet have also arrived, after all, the Alterac Mountains are actually under the control of the undead natural disaster, but those undead have no interest in this resource-poor snowy mountain.
"Continue to chase forward for a distance, maybe there will be clues left, otherwise we will only have to wait for the news of the extremely law-breaker." Su Chen made a decision after groaning slightly, those few spellbreakers from the Violet Eye were already good at monitoring and tracking, and their physical strength was very strong, so they had already chased further ahead.
Gianna nodded in agreement.
However, the two did not go far before they discovered new clues.
It was a stain of Yin Hong's blood, even if it had been covered with ice and snow, but it was still extremely eye-catching in the white snow.
Su Chen's heart immediately sank, those undead naturally would not have blood spilled, the blood stains on this snow would only be human.
"It's likely that several spellbreakers have caught up with the enemy and a battle has taken place!" Gianna jumped off the spider, looking carefully for signs of a fight.
"Then we'll chase after you." Su Chen hurriedly pulled her to sit on top of the spider, he didn't think that just a few spellbreakers could defeat the huge Crypt Lord.
