Volume 4 Chapter 498: Reproductive Queen
After being complimented a few more times by the other party, Levi became obviously excited, so he waved his hand, took out a large number of consumable scrolls from the space ring, gave them to his subordinates, and then marched forward in a big way.
However, when they were about to reach the col, he slowed down his troops.
Along the way, they killed many spiders, but they didn't see any greenskins who originally cooperated with the spiders. Where could they be?
The terrain of the valley itself was dangerous, and it was also filled with woods and poisonous miasma, which severely obscured the vision of the reconnaissance troops, making it a perfect place for an ambush.
So under the protection of the troops, Levi and Kyle, Sefa, Sally and other wizard units leisurely released continuous magic towards the valley.
Then, along with the burning forest, a sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling immediately came from the opposite side, followed by thousands of greenskins holding bows and axes, with flames on their bodies, crying and running out.
At the same time, new enemies appeared on both sides, about five or six hundred goblin cavalry riding giant spiders.
If Levi and the others were really careless, there would be some casualties due to being attacked from both sides.
But now the greenskins in both directions have no coordination at all, and rushing over will only be a waste of lives.
So after two waves of bow and magic attacks, there were less than half of the enemies left alive. Levi waved his hand, signaling the two priestesses to command the mummies to finish off the enemies.
Levi looked at the halfling with a little pride: "Greenskins also have the wisdom of war? But how can they compare with me? It seems that the reproductive queen is also a fool. She actually formed an alliance with such stupid greenskins."
The halfling nodded repeatedly, but secretly gritted his teeth. This guy...
After a few minutes, the greenskin troops completely collapsed. Most of them were either killed or burned to death. Less than one in a hundred managed to escape successfully.
Levi was too lazy to waste time hunting them down, so he just left some mummies to clean up the battlefield and went straight into the valley.
The stench in the valley became stronger, but unexpectedly, there was not much miasma here, and there were not even any bones around.
This made Levi marvel. It seemed that the Queen of Reproduction was not completely without advantages. At least she was very hygienic.
While chatting, they advanced for several miles, and sure enough, just as the halfling said, the enemy was there.
From afar, there was a giant spider with a huge body, a belly more than ten meters in diameter, a height of one floor, and a ghost face pattern on its back. It was lying on the ground like a small hill. It looked like the legendary queen of reproduction.
Next to the Queen of Reproduction, there are 7 level 6 Arachnari giant spiders.
Under normal circumstances, they are six or seven meters from head to tail, which can be considered as behemoths, at least they can compete with mountain giants.
But compared with the reproductive queen, they seem to be minors.
Behind them, there are at least dozens of huge and deep caves, and there are countless spiders hidden in them.
Seeing this scene, Levi immediately showed obvious hesitation, and his heart was moved.
"My lord, that is the Queen of Fertility. My teammates have found out that in the largest and highest cave behind it, there are the eggs of the Arachnari Giant Spider hidden. Unfortunately, they also lost their lives for it."
Levi was immediately delighted: "How many are there?"
"Since I was quite far away at the time, I can't quite tell the exact number, but there must have been at least dozens of them."
Levi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it!"
Although the enemy was very powerful, driven by interests, he decided to launch an attack.
As the fire magic took the lead in appearing, the giant spiders in the distance were also alarmed. They first made a series of hoarse and terrifying cries, and then hundreds of giant spiders swarmed out of the cave and rushed towards them like a tide.
But Levi was slightly relieved, because although the opponent had a large number of troops, their average strength seemed very weak, and he still had a chance to win!
So a fierce battle soon broke out, and all kinds of giant spiders swarmed in. Levi ordered the priestess to lead the troops to meet the enemy.
Among them, the Arachnari Giant Spiders were fought by King Kong and Mountain Giants, but their numbers were inferior to those of the opponent. Except for one-on-one battles, the rest required the cooperation of many blood elf heroes to barely match them.
At the beginning, with the help of mages and others, they could barely resist, but the number of spiders was too large, almost endless.
Although Levi and Kyle have magic, they cannot kill all the opponents at once. Moreover, because there are mummies and others on their side, they dare not use too much force to avoid accidental injuries.
So as the number of times King Kong and the mountain giants were poisoned increased and the frequency became faster and faster, the battle situation soon became increasingly unfavorable as ants could kill elephants.
Although Levi tried his best and joined forces with Kyle to kill two Arachnari giant spiders, he managed to temporarily save the situation, but he was ultimately unable to avoid the decline.
And during this whole process, the reproductive queen just stood there watching and did not join the battle.
Seeing this, the halfling couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "My lord, do you have any hidden power? If the situation is not good, why don't we retreat temporarily, save our lives, and be more fully prepared next time..."
Before he finished speaking, Levi gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat? How is that possible? I will not lose to a stupid beast. I still have my ultimate move to use!"
"It was originally prepared for the Queen of Reproduction, but now it seems that it is just a fool who can't even speak. There is no need to keep it for it!"
Upon hearing this, the halfling immediately nodded and bowed, not letting Levi see his expression: "Yes, yes, yes, then sir, please use it quickly, the situation is indeed very critical now!"
Levi glanced at him and said, "You have a very good personality. You know how to think about me. Don't worry, after I kill the Queen of Reproduction, I will definitely give you an egg, or even some meat from it, so you can cook!"
Before the other party could react, Levi had already waved at Cindy.
Cindy, who had also been acting as a priest and had not been on the battlefield, immediately came over with a red face and took the initiative to hold Levi's hand.
A few seconds later, with a flash of light, the Punisher who had not been seen for many days appeared.
Before the other party could speak, Levi said anxiously, "Punisher, the situation is extremely urgent. I'll leave everything to you!"
The Punisher, who had felt something was wrong when he saw Levi holding his daughter's hand, stopped talking nonsense, just nodded, and rushed towards the group of spiders with a roar.
No matter what questions you have, let’s talk about them after the battle!
Seeing the Punisher rushing forward with a sledgehammer in his hand, his unique Heavenly Shock with a split attack effect easily killed a large number of spiders.
Moreover, his whole body was covered with holy lightning, and just by getting close to him, he could cause damage to the enemy.
On the contrary, the attacks of the big spiders could hardly cause him any harm, and their outstretched claws would even cause him counterattack.
Sometimes, his attack would even trigger a holy chain of lightning, causing more damage to the enemy.
Although he did not attack the Araknari Giant Spider, his joining greatly dispersed the pressure on other friendly forces.
Seeing this, Levi was also a little surprised.
Because even a large spider of level 4 or 5 would be seriously injured by one of the opponent's split attacks. In such a short period of time, his strength seemed to have improved a lot.
Has he obtained new equipment and new skills, or has he been promoted to a heroic unit?
But he was not stupid enough to ask directly, because there was something more important at the moment.
He deliberately put on a smug look and said to the halfling: "How about my secret weapon? Is it powerful?"
The halfling nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord is indeed very powerful."
After a slight hesitation, the halfling made a very difficult expression and said, "Sir, my teammate left me a precious treasure. Seeing how powerful you are today, I think it is more suitable for you!"
"Oh? What treasure is that? Why don't you bring it up so I can see it?"
On the surface, Levi seemed a little impatient, but in fact he secretly reminded Penthesilea, Cindy and others to be prepared at any time.
Because the truly critical moment is about to come!
The halfling trotted up to him, seeming to want to take something out of his pocket.
But when Levi looked over, he suddenly smiled grimly, and his hands quickly transformed into spider-like claws, stabbing straight at Levi's heart.
"Elf, go to hell!"
Looking at the half-man whose entire upper body was changing rapidly, Levi smiled slightly, and Xiao Qi, who had been squatting on his shoulder, released the ice magic ring.
Although it failed to freeze the opponent or cause any damage, it at least reduced the opponent's speed a little bit.
"Castling!"
“Dang~”
Levi directly exchanged positions with Penthesilea, but even with Penthesilea's strength, the hand holding the shield sank slightly, the opponent's strength was astonishingly great.
But this was within their expectations. If the other party was not really difficult to deal with, why would Levi have to act all this time and pretend to be nice to the other party?
But now that the two sides have finally and officially torn their relations apart, she doesn't have to foolishly act as a guard anymore!
A red light flashed on the spear, and she used all her skills to deliver a perfect shot.
With a "puff", blood spurted out of the halfling's chest, but the blood was not bright red, but a dark green and foul-smelling liquid like bile.
It even has strong corrosive properties. When it falls to the ground, multiple small holes instantly appear on the spot.
But Penthesilea was not affected at all. She just fired one shot after another, hitting the opponent's vital points.
At the same time, Cindy, who had been pretending to be an ordinary priest, also shouted and released the Holy Glacier and Flame Strike, and summoned several angels to pursue and intercept together.
Almost at the same time, an angry roar was heard from another direction several dozen meters away, followed by the collision of weapons and the screams of Elegy, Mocuiti and others.
Yes, they also did not participate in the battle against the giant spider.
It's not just because Mortidi hates spiders, but also because Levi believes that the other party came here alone, and in addition to being skilled and brave, there is a high possibility that he will have reinforcements to cooperate with him.
He had guessed correctly. These two bald greenskins, who had nothing else on them except a piece of animal skin between their crotches and a big sword in their hands, were very rare greenskin sword masters.
The reason they were able to lurk at such a close distance was not only because Wange and the others intentionally encircled the enemy, but also because they possessed a very special skill - the Wind Step.
Yes, the name and effect are exactly the same as the skill attached to Mortiti's Lothar's Edge. This is the opponent's unique skill.
Under normal circumstances, there may not be a sword master among a hundred thousand greenskins, but the appearance of each sword master means that the enemy is in trouble.
With stealth capabilities that exceed those of ordinary thieves and explosive power that is several times greater than that of ordinary warriors, combined with other props or cooperation with Greenskin Shaman, the Greenskin Swordmaster can often easily kill many fragile magic enemies.
Unfortunately, despite their unintended consequences, and as they were surrounded, the two green-skinned swordsmen could not make any waves at all. Swordsmen have never been a profession that can withstand a beating.
After being hit by several bullets in succession, the mysterious enemy swept through and temporarily forced Penthesilea to retreat.
Then he, no, it should be said that.
The lower body is a spider covered with black hair, and the upper body is a female with sharp teeth and fangs. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an ordinary humanoid creature, but more like a variant of the spider drow - the spider man.
The half-ling appearance before was actually some special disguise of the opponent, and now the half-ling's face is still hanging on one of its spider legs.
After withstanding Cindy's attack, the mysterious enemy looked at Levi viciously: "Damn elf, when did you see through me?"
Levi shrugged: "Since we just met?"
"impossible!"
The mysterious enemy's tone of voice changed: "According to the goddess's instructions, I have eaten so many humanoid hearts and brains, and even possessed many of their memories. My disguise should be perfect!"
As it spoke, it was also dealing with attacks from Penthesilea, Cindy, and the others.
It can be seen that although it is obviously struggling, it will not be easily killed, at least in the short term.
It's not just because of its outstanding strength and agility, nor is it just because it has multiple arms and can launch multiple attacks like a snake girl.
What's more, it has a very strong recovery ability. The few bloody holes that were initially poked by Penthesilea have now recovered as before.
Levi snorted and began to use the three-piece set of the Doom Girl's Supply, Dimension Anchor and Light Net on the opponent.
Then he easily purified the many negative states on the King Kong and the Mountain Giant, released the high-level Red Flame Messenger, and then began to summon the Dragon Head Messenger.
Being able to resist the siege of Penthesilea and others, the opponent was undoubtedly at least legendary. If his guess was correct, the opponent should be the Reproductive Queen of Spider Web Mountain.
The other party's special appearance is exactly the same as that of the spider-like drow, and it just mentioned the goddess, so the answer seems to be very obvious. It should be a chess piece arranged by the Spider Queen - Rose.
But so far, Luna and Kerillian have not been able to detect any drow or spider drow nearby. It seems that it is just a chess piece arranged by the Spider Queen, Rose, and has not been given much care.
But the more the Spider Queen - Rose behaved like this, the more uneasy Levi felt, because she was not someone who was willing to suffer any loss.
When she first arrived in the Underdark, she captured a city that worshipped her, but she had no reaction.
The previous matter of the God of Maze was messed up by Mala, and here I discovered the matter of the Queen of Reproduction.
If she had no reaction at all, it could only mean one thing, that she was preparing some other bigger conspiracy, which might be even more important than these things!
Seeing that Levi detoxified it so easily, it suddenly became more irritable, because it knew that perhaps it had been discovered a long time ago, so Levi had never shown his full strength.
This made it even more irritable. It thought it had been hiding well all the way, but now it seemed that in the eyes of the other party, it might be just a clown!
"Damn elf, aren't you looking for the fertility queen? I am, now answer my question quickly!"
While cursing, the reproductive queen, whose body began to gradually expand, spewed out large mouthfuls of venom, spider webs, and even dozens of round spider eggs.
However, in front of multiple fire mages and high-level red flame users, these little gadgets pose no threat at all and will turn into smoke and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Levi still ignored it. Although with his current strength, he could speak or move when casting many magic spells, there was no need to take risks at all, right?
This time the Queen of Reproduction went berserk. She roared, and the giant spider that was originally thought to be her also began to move, as if it wanted to join the battle.
"Damned elf, let me give you a taste of the Arachnare Queen Spider and the wrath of my Fertility Queen!"
No one knew what skill she used, or if she was simply returning to her original appearance, but the Queen of Reproduction's body quickly swelled up, and in the blink of an eye she became almost the same size as the giant queen spider.
Unfortunately, now that the relationship has already been torn apart, Levi and the others certainly don't need to hold back.
Sefa and Sally activated all the snake girls to replace the King Kong and mountain giants to resist those ordinary giant spiders.
Even though there is a certain gap in size and strength between the two sides, they are all level 6, and the snake women have the upper hand in numbers, so it is still easy to beat up the opponent.
Then the King Kong and the mountain giants who were replaced raised their heavy weapons and began to surround and beat the Queen Spider.
At the same time, the situation on the Queen of Fertility's side is not optimistic. She is a legend, and so is Penthesilea.
After the transformation, the Queen of Fertility's power was greatly improved, but it also became much slower. At least for Penthesilea, it was too slow.
Coupled with the many restrictive spells used by Cindy, Sefa and Kyle, it can basically only take a beating.
When Penthesilea attacked it, every blow drew blood, but it could not even touch her .
But by the time it woke up, it was too late. Soon Levi's summoning ended, and the two dragon-headed messengers had appeared.
Within ten seconds, Elegy and Mortidi successfully dealt with the two daring green-skinned swordsmen and joined the siege army.
The reproductive queen was now in an even more embarrassing situation, but even then, she was still struggling with the original problem.
"Levi, answer me quickly, how did you see through me?"
As if afraid that Levi would not tell it, it deliberately added: "If you are willing to tell me, then I can also answer a question for you!"
Levi raised his eyebrows and paused his movements: "Okay, but I don't trust you."
As he said this, he summoned a special contract he had made during a previous use of the Last Crusade.
A few seconds later, an angel with wings on his back appeared, holding a scroll.
But there is one thing that is different from all the angels Levi has summoned before. He is short in stature but has big feet. He is an angel from the weaker halfling divine power - the kingdom of Cyrrollalee.
Of course, the reason why Levi summoned him had nothing to do with the Queen of Fertility just disguising herself as a halfling.
It's simply because the goddess Cyrilani's duties include honesty.
Although this special level 6 angel has very poor combat capability and may not even be able to defeat ordinary level 5 soldiers, he has the ability to detect lies.
Unless you are the younger brother of the Prince of Lies, Xirik, it is difficult to find a legend like the Queen of Fertility.
After smiling at the other party, the halfling angel politely returned the greeting and then activated a special magic.
Levi then asked, "Okay, Queen of Reproduction, let's officially begin now. Where is King Lemizazi of Bag City?"
Of course, the fighting between the two sides never stopped during this whole process.
Because if possible, the Queen of Fertility would rather kill most of the enemies and let Levi wail and tell everything under her claws.
But this can only be a dream for the time being, so in order to resolve her doubts, the Queen of Reproduction had to settle for the second best and chose to exchange information.
"It's in my cave. He's not dead yet. I haven't figured out how to get what I need from his rotten brain."
The goddess taught it a lot of things, but that special ritual required it to devour fresh brains.
It was just feeling worried when it saw Levi and the others coming.
Even though it had no idea of Levi's strength, it could still see those conspicuous gorillas and giants, so it decided to use some strategies and sneak attacks to deal with the opponent.
But what he didn’t expect was that the operation, which had been successful several times in the past, ended in a complete failure this time.
Levi's mood became better and better, even though Queen Rashut said that she would give rewards regardless of life or death.
But the living King Lamizazi is undoubtedly much more valuable, and he values his ability to create and command constructs.
So he told the other party the answer as promised.
"You act very much like a halfling, but every time I mention the name of the Fertility Queen, you behave a little strangely. It doesn't seem like you're afraid."
"Once or twice it might be a coincidence, but if it happens every time, then I can only doubt your true identity."
It was precisely because of this suspicion that he would deliberately belittle the other party many times, and the result made him very satisfied.
The Queen of Fertility was immediately dissatisfied: "So what? Could it be that he was frightened into that state because he was afraid of the Queen of Fertility's reputation?"
Levi laughed: "That's the second question."
The Queen of Reproduction groaned but did not respond immediately because it was fighting fiercely with its enemy.
"Damn woman, you actually cut off my most precious fang!"
Unfortunately, its claws, waving vigorously, were not enough to retaliate against the enemy. It seemed to have vaguely guessed what fate it would have.
So after her brief anger subsided, she finally chose to compromise: "Just ask!"
If it really has to die, at least it has to resolve all doubts.
"Spider Queen Rose, what conspiracy are you busy with recently?"
The Fertility Queen groaned again: "I don't know. I haven't contacted her for almost a month. The power she gave me is still there, but it is getting weaker."
"She no longer responded to my prayers and left me here to fend for myself."
It was the gift from the Spider Queen, Rose, that allowed it to grow to its current size.
But in the past month, when the world was changing most dramatically, it lost contact with her, so it could only try to cope with it on its own.
At first, it went smoothly, and even made a group of greenskins run around in circles, but now it encountered Levi...
This is actually the answer that Levi never expected.
As one of the most sinister and vicious goddesses among the gods, the Spider Queen - Rose will never die easily. If she has not shown up for a month, it means that the conspiracy she has prepared will be unprecedented in scale!
"Ah, damned elf, I've already told you, answer my question now!"
Although the Queen of Fertility's attitude could be described as bad, Levi was not angry at all, because in just a few words, one of the opponent's hind claws had been cut off by Elegy, and two of the compound eyes on its head had been blinded by Penthesilea.
If it continued like this, its death was imminent, and there was no need for him to be too harsh on a dead creature.
"You have two obvious flaws."
"First of all, you never told me my name from beginning to end."
"Is it because you ate too many brains and gained too many memories, causing your consciousness to become confused, so you subconsciously avoid mentioning your own name?"
Levi didn't ask, and it didn't say anything. How could it really want to join him? And the system panel didn't pop up at all. This was the biggest loophole.
The Queen of Fertility remained silent, and it was indeed her fault.
"Secondly, you've probably never actually had grilled spider, so you don't know what it tastes like, it's closer to crab than chicken."
In other words, many arthropods taste similar, and there is a clear difference between them and chicken.
The Queen of Fertility probably learned this sentence from some native or God-chosen hero.
As he said this, Levi also nodded to the dragon-headed messenger beside him.
So the dragon-headed messenger, who had just finished casting a spell, once again used his best skill, which was also the most powerful spell for dealing with giant monsters like spiders that have a hard appearance but an extremely soft inside!
"Implosion!"
