Chapter 161. Encounter

Srkkkk ---

Peter's modified spider web sticky bombs wrapped around the Lizard in mid-air.

"Calm down, calm down ... don't ..."

Looking at the Lizard, who was entangled in the spider web, the young spider started trying to persuade him. However, before he could finish his sentence, Connors, on the other side, easily tore the cobwebs from his body with his sharp claws. With a roar, he jumped onto the steel frame of the bridge and quickly ran towards the direction where Harry had disappeared to.

Seeing the Lizard climbing on the steel frame, Spider-Man's expression changed. He glanced at the ordinary people who were running on the bridge and quickly shot out spider his spider web and blocked Connors's way.

"Sorry, no jaywalking."

Dangling upside down on the steel frame, the young spider looked at the Lizard in front of him and raised his hand to stop him.

"... I'll ... kill... you..."

Because of the lizard serum, Connors's personality had also turned cold-blooded, like a lizard's. Seeing Spider-Man in his way, he revealed a grin full of sharp teeth.

With that, sharp claws left deep claw marks on the steel frame. Connors's made a violent leap and attacked the spider.

His claws slashed across the steel frame. Because of his dexterity, the young spider was able to dodge the vicious attack. He glanced back at the claw marks on the steel frame and patted his chest with a shocked expression. Although the mutation in his body had increased his resistance, it clearly didn't reach the hardness of steel.

"Wow, I think you're due for a pedicure. "

Rambling on, the young spider lifted his wrist and started firing a chain of sticky spider webs at the Lizard on the steel frame.

When the liquid of the spider silk came into contact with the air, it expanded into spider webs. Connors, in the form of the Lizard, swung his claws around and tore all the spider webs. However, he was slower than Peter. In the next moment, the spider web firmly wrapped him up and suspended him from the steel frame.

"I think we can talk now, right?"

The Lizard was dangled from the steel frame of the bridge. Peter breathed a little sigh of relief as he looked at the creature, who was still trying to struggle free. Extending some of his webs, Peter dangled in front of the Lizard, looking at him face-to-face.

"So... Mister? Can you tell me how you turned into... this...?"

When Peter got closer and took a clear look at the Lizard, he could see that his scaly face didn't look human-like at all. Instead, his crimson eyes reminded him of a reptile.

"Have you ever heard of the Umbrella Corporation? "

The Lizard's appearance made him think of Venom, so he quickly asked.

"I'm going to ... kill ... and eat ... you ..."

However, Connors, who had been influenced by the lizard serum, obviously had no thought of answering Spider-Man's questions. He kept struggling in the spider web, trying to break free.

"Don't waste your time. These aren't ordinary spider webs, you can't get rid of them so easily." Looking at the Lizard's uncooperative appearance, the young spider spoke up and kindly offered an explanation. Although there was a big difference between this strange mutant creature and Venom, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. He wanted to find more clues about the Umbrella Corporation.

However, as his words fell...

Suddenly, the Lizard's tail suddenly lashed out, tearing the spider web.

Although Peter was careful, apparently, he had overlooked the fact that the Lizard wasn't like the enemies he had faced in the past. This was a humanoid creature that had a tail.

Bang --

Falling from the steel frame onto the bridge, the violent impact smashed a crater on the bridge that spread like a cobweb. The Lizard shook his head, tore open the spider web on his body and staggered back to his feet. Although he succeeded in getting rid of the spider web, he wasn't completely unharmed.

If his body hadn't mutated and gained power far superior to that of human beings, Connors would have died from the fall.

Recovering from the shock, the Lizard looked up at Spider-Man on the steel frame. He then turned and rushed in Harry's direction.

Although the influence of lizard serum made Professor Connors cold-blooded and cruel, he still remembered that he went out to meet Harry Osborn, although the meeting would be very different from what he had originally envisioned.

Seeing that the Lizard had turned and ran away, the young spider hastily released the spider silk in his hand and leapt from the steel frame towards the bridge.

On the bridge, because of the fight between Spider-Man and the Lizard, ordinary people had already evacuated.

The Lizard flipped a car and rampaged forward.

However, at this moment, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Roar!"

Facing the man in the way, the Lizard growled and swiped his claws at him.

"Oh, Shit! Watch out!"

On the steel frame, the young spider saw the scene. Under the mask, his expression dramatically changed. Although he wasn't sure why anyone would be on the bridge in such a dangerous situation, he subconsciously shouted a warning and raised his wrist to shoot spider webs at the Lizard's back.

Despite his best efforts to remedy the situation, Peter was still a little too far away from the Lizard. The spider web launched from his wrist stuck firmly to the Lizard's back but was unable to stop the Lizard's attack.

The sharp claws slashed at the man's body, causing Peter to subconsciously avert his eyes from the bloody scene.

Because of their fight, he knew that there was no chance a normal human would survive the Lizard's attack.

However, after a few seconds had passed, the expected screams didn't come.

The young spider opened his eyes, and the scene that appeared in front of him caused his jaw to drop.
