73: Chapter 73 Giant Flesh Spider

Without the interference of the black water, the flesh on the corpses began to wriggle, and in an instant, it transformed into a round ball of meat.

Seeing this, Nie Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Those corpses were not the Little Boy after all, so it was normal that they were no match for the Human-Faced Balloon.

Just then, the surface of the meat ball bulged, and immediately afterwards, a large number of tentacles extended from it.

The tentacles swayed with the wind and then pierced into the other corpses.

This was when the benefit of severing the heads became apparent; without a head, the control over the bodies was significantly reduced.

Under the control of the Human-Faced Balloon, the corpses, now shed of the black water, began to move toward the meat ball.

The Little Boy seemed to sense danger and summoned a large amount of lake water to surge toward the direction of the Human-Faced Balloon.

Seeing this, Nie Ning had no choice but to raise several earth walls to buy time for the Human-Faced Balloon.

However, it was not a spell used by a wizard after all; not only was the strength of the earth walls far inferior to the black water, but the rate of magic consumption in this space was far higher than before.

Even though Nie Ning had several crystal cores in his body, the continuous consumption made it somewhat difficult for him to bear.

However, the fusion speed of the Human-Faced Balloon was very fast, and after absorbing nearly a hundred people, it turned into a meat ball about 10 meters in diameter.

As the meat ball extended thick tentacles, it instantly transformed into a giant spider monster.

The giant spider monster stood in front of Nie Ning, its small tentacles still collecting the corpses on the ground, not even sparing the heads that had fallen to the ground.

And as the heads were devoured, grayish-blue human faces appeared one after another on the giant spider monster.

Moreover, a thin mist began to rise all around, just like when Nie Ning first encountered the Human-Faced Balloon.

Although the giant spider monster gave Nie Ning a strong sense of security, there was not the slightest expression of happiness on his face.

For some reason, the moment the mist appeared, the intensity of Malice Perception increased significantly, as if it were warning him that it was dangerous here.

But wasn't the Human-Faced Balloon summoned by him?

Nie Ning had never understood this question before: why would a controlled Human-Faced Balloon trigger Malice Perception?

But now he seemed to understand a little...

...

After devouring hundreds of people, the Human-Faced Balloon had already turned into a super-giant spider monster about thirty meters tall.

Every step the Human-Faced Balloon took, the ground would be smashed into a large pit by its massive tentacles.

Seemingly having found the enemy, the Human-Faced Balloon walked into the lake.

As the lake water splashed up, the black water clung to the tentacles of the Human-Faced Balloon like ants.

However, under the influence of the mist, it was unable to crawl onto the meat ball for a long time.

The Human-Faced Balloon charged straight toward the Little Boy.

The Little Boy remained expressionless, but the violently fluctuating lake water formed a giant wave tens of meters high, surging toward the Human-Faced Balloon.

The Human-Faced Balloon raised its thick, massive tentacles and split the giant wave in two like a long whip.

A great battle broke out.

The Little Boy controlled the black water to launch a fierce attack, while the Human-Faced Balloon continuously brandished its tentacles to counterattack.

However, as time passed, the Human-Faced Balloon gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The advantage of the Human-Faced Balloon was its extraordinary self-healing power.

But under the sustained battle, the black water had unknowingly covered half of the Human-Faced Balloon's body, suppressing its self-healing ability.

Watching the Little Boy gaining the upper hand, Nie Ning vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He suddenly looked up and saw that at some point, two dim blue moons had appeared in the sky.

Under the illumination of the blue moonlight, Nie Ning looked at his arm; the original black spots had already spread to his shoulder.

Moreover, the surface of the black spots was wriggling eerily, as if there were insects burrowing in and out inside.

At the same time, Nie Ning's consciousness began to blur, and his body started walking toward the lake unconsciously.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came.

The tentacles of the Human-Faced Balloon slammed the Little Boy into the central island, which also woke Nie Ning, who had walked to the lakeside.

Thinking of that scene just now, cold sweat couldn't help but seep out of Nie Ning's back.

Just at this moment, many black vines suddenly emerged from the lake, tightly wrapping around the Human-Faced Balloon.

Moreover, the surface of the vines had sharp thorns, and the flesh pierced by them was quickly dyed black.

At this time, the movements of the Human-Faced Balloon began to become stiff, and the mist that had originally lingered around it gradually turned black.

The Little Boy who had fallen onto the central island slowly rose, controlling the black water in the lake to surge toward the giant spider monster surrounded by the Human-Faced Balloon.

Just when Nie Ning thought the defeat was sealed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the doomed.

But suddenly, a strange change occurred.

A huge, fire-red circular formation rose in the sky.

The temperature in the blue world began to rise rapidly.

Large trees were ignited by flames, and the black lake water boiled hotly.

The Little Boy seemed to be affected, and even the power suppressing the Human-Faced Balloon began to decline.

As the black lake water on the giant spider slowly receded, the thick tentacles became entangled with the surrounding black vines.

And a huge mouth suddenly split open in the middle of the meat ball covered with human faces, swallowing the Little Boy in mid-air in one gulp.

But not long after, black spots appeared on the surface of the massive meat ball again, and countless black bubbles bulged up.

The giant spider swayed its body, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Meanwhile, the blue moons in the sky became brighter and brighter, and the scorching power caused by the formation began to be suppressed in reverse.

Seeing that the Human-Faced Balloon was no match for the Little Boy, Nie Ning shifted his gaze to the Jerky Bear Head on the side.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Human-Faced Balloon and the Little Boy were entangled, the Jerky Bear Head turned into a whirlwind and quickly approached the central island.

As the Jerky Bear Head approached the central island, the tentacles that had turned black suddenly slapped toward the Jerky Bear Head, but they were dodged by the Jerky Bear Head.

Seeing this scene, it also confirmed the guess in Nie Ning's heart.

Without any hesitation, Nie Ning gathered his battle aura into his legs and exerted force to jump onto the black vines tens of meters away.

Seeing the black tentacles slapping toward the Jerky Bear Head again, Nie Ning injected his battle aura into his long sword, turning it into a red light blade several meters long, and then slashed at the tentacles.

Although he only split the tentacles in half, it was enough to make the tentacles deviate from their original attack direction, allowing the Jerky Bear Head closer to the central island to take another step forward.

Next, Nie Ning repeated the same trick, constantly jumping back and forth on the Flesh Spider and the vines, not forgetting to slash the Human-Faced Balloon a couple of times while interfering with the Little Boy.

This was only because the Human-Faced Balloon was gradually slipping out of his control at this time.

Especially after the mist appeared, it severely interfered with Nie Ning's mental control over the Human-Faced Balloon.

If he could not suppress the Human-Faced Balloon now, he would not have a good ending regardless of who won or lost.

...

At this time, the Jerky Bear Head had already arrived above the central island.

After avoiding the entanglement of a black vine, the Jerky Bear Head dived directly into the large pit that the Little Boy had just smashed out.
