Chapter 113: Joining Forces to Repel the Enemy

When the Evil Spirit Orca King first called out to Fang Chang, the Sea Spider clan members beneath the sunken ship had already grown restless, poking their heads out to observe the situation. Now, seeing the orcas charging forward, they were filled with anxiety.

The Evil Spirit Orcas, who had been harboring immense hatred for the Sea Spider clan, finally had the chance to vent their fury. At their king's command, they surged forward, rushing toward the sunken ship.

However, the first obstacle they faced was the web trap.

The web trap resembled a giant apple, with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters. Its upper and lower surfaces folded inward, while the sides formed a circular ring.

In the northeast corner of the web trap, there was an irregular depression—the spot where the five orcas had been trapped earlier.

The charging orcas noticed this depression and assumed it might be a weak point in the defense. Most of them headed straight for it.

But they soon realized something was wrong. The first few orcas to touch the web became entangled. The more they struggled, the tighter the web restrained them, rendering them immobile.

The entire web trap seemed to stretch and shift, with strands of silk flowing toward the depression. Despite the change in shape, the trap's defensive capabilities remained intact.

The orcas behind them, seeing this, quickly halted their charge and retreated a few meters, turning to look at their king for guidance.

The Evil Spirit Orca King's expression darkened. It had known Fang Chang's web trap would be troublesome, but it hadn't expected it to be this formidable.

Based on its estimation, even orcas with less than sixty thousand years of soul power would struggle to break through this trap on their own.

But at this point, retreat was no longer an option. The Evil Spirit Orca King swam forward, positioning itself at the front of its clan's formation.

It stared at the trap for a moment, then focused its gaze. A water blade over ten meters long materialized out of thin air, hovering to its right.

The blade shot forward, skimming the ocean floor and maintaining a vertical position. With a sharp whistling sound, it struck the web trap.

A tearing sound echoed as the web trap, which had frustrated the orcas so much, was sliced open, revealing the scene inside.

Through the gap, the orcas saw only four spiders standing in front of the sunken ship, with no sign of the rest of the Sea Spider clan.

Fang Chang and Little Gold, leading the four spiders, showed no fear in the face of the hundred orcas. They crawled out through the gap in the web trap and stood before the orcas.

"Little Gold, stay still and don't resist," Fang Chang communicated telepathically, already preparing the "Fusion" skill. A peculiar energy emanated from his body.

Little Gold nodded, spreading her ten-meter-long legs and lying flat on the ground, allowing Fang Chang to climb onto her back.

As Fang Chang's energy grew stronger, his body seemed to liquefy, enveloping Little Gold.

The Evil Spirit Orca King, seeing this, cursed and charged forward.

Just as it was about to reach Fang Chang and Little Gold, a pale blue water droplet flew toward it. The energy contained within the droplet was too powerful to ignore, forcing the orca king to halt its charge and defend itself.

With a dull thud, the Evil Spirit Orca King was pushed back several meters. It looked past Fang Chang and Little Gold to see Little Gold's sisters preparing another water droplet to launch at it.

A fusion skill from two eighty-thousand-year soul beasts? How many more tricks did the Sea Spider clan have up their sleeves? The Evil Spirit Orca King's unease grew.

The second water droplet struck the orca king, but this time it was prepared and didn't suffer as much damage.

However, it was still delayed, unable to reach Fang Chang and Little Gold.

By now, Little Gold's body had also begun to change, partially liquefying and merging with Fang Chang's form.

As the two liquids fused in the water, an overwhelming aura began to emanate, causing all the soul beasts present to tremble.

The aura continued to rise, finally stabilizing at a level close to two hundred thousand years.

Beneath the web trap, a unique spider soul beast had taken shape.

Its legs, like those of the Sea Spider clan, stretched over ten meters, and its body was even larger than Fang Chang's original form. Its black and gold body was adorned with faint golden patterns.

"Fang Chang" looked at the Evil Spirit Orca King in the distance. With a thought, he activated the "Flexible Size" skill, enlarging his body to its maximum extent. His hundred-meter-long legs stood towering in the water, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The Evil Spirit Orcas, facing this new "Fang Chang," felt even more uncertain. The orca king, with its twenty-meter body, now had to look up at Fang Chang, completely overshadowed in both size and presence.

The consciousness of the fused spider was still dominated by Fang Chang. His eyes flashed red as dozens of water arrows, each half a meter in diameter, materialized around him.

"Fang Chang" aimed the water arrows at the orcas below and unleashed a barrage.

The power of Little Gold's skill, amplified by the fused body's near two-hundred-thousand-year soul power and the hundred-meter height advantage, increased several times over.

Despite their desperate attempts to dodge, many orcas were killed in the first wave of attacks.

"Charge forward! Break into the web! Even if we lose today, we'll make the Sea Spider clan pay in blood!" the Evil Spirit Orca King roared, its voice filled with venom.

The remaining orcas, hearing their king's command, surged forward with renewed ferocity.

They darted between Fang Chang's legs, trying to slip through the gap in the web trap.

But "Fang Chang" moved swiftly, blocking the gap with one of his legs. Although a few orcas managed to slip through, they were met by Little Gold's sisters.

More water arrows formed rapidly, all aimed at the orcas below. At the same time, "Fang Chang's" other seven legs swung down in succession.

Many orcas were knocked unconscious by the legs, then pierced by the water arrows, meeting their end.

In this indiscriminate assault, only the Evil Spirit Orca King and a few orcas with over sixty thousand years of soul power could withstand the attacks.

The weaker orcas, however, were killed instantly if struck by the water arrows.

As the sea turned red with the blood of their fallen comrades, the Evil Spirit Orca King made a desperate decision. Gathering the remaining orcas, it charged straight at "Fang Chang's" head, preparing for a final, all-out attack.

They knew that unless they defeated this strange spider, they wouldn't just lose the battle—they might be wiped out entirely.

The remaining orcas formed a circle around their king, seemingly using a secret technique to temporarily transfer their soul power to it.

Empowered by its clan, the Evil Spirit Orca King's body erupted with dark light. A black energy sphere began to form in front of its head, containing a level of energy that even Fang Chang found alarming.

As the sphere took shape, the Evil Spirit Orca King seemed to weaken, its body becoming almost translucent.

With its last ounce of strength, it roared at "Fang Chang," launching the black energy sphere—a culmination of the entire clan's power—straight at him.
