Ethan Clark didn’t even turn his head. That lightning strike just now—he had kept the power extremely low, like giving someone a mild electric shock. Ethan Clark would never specifically tell someone what to do, nor would he scold or lecture them like a textbook. He would, at any time and place, correct their problems in his own way.

“Yes,” Olivia Smith quickly nodded. “I understand, Master.”

“It’s easy to say—show me with your actions.” After Ethan Clark finished speaking, he ignored Olivia Smith and continued to accelerate forward.

At this moment, Olivia Smith snapped back to his senses and finally saw the situation in front of him clearly. Master’s words were one thing, but looking around, there wasn’t a single mutant spider that could threaten him. Master had killed so many mutant spiders before, all with his fists. Now, to look after him, Master was repeatedly using those chain-explosive moves.

Olivia Smith felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Master was giving him a hint, he...

Distracted again, Olivia Smith hurriedly shook his head a few times, throwing off the stray thoughts. Master was right—he should focus on doing one thing at a time. Even though Master was protecting him and no mutant spiders could threaten him now, he still needed to stay fully alert. If anything happened, even if not for himself, he had to think of the third and fifth junior brothers he was carrying.

The gap—this is the gap! Emily Harris watched as Master charged forward, feeling more and more excited and thrilled.

Before, when Master’s power wasn’t this strong, leading the six of them, he was always extremely cautious. Being surrounded by mutant spiders was like walking the line between life and death, and escaping was the main goal. Now that Master was unleashing his power, the situation had completely turned around. Plus, she herself had broken through from early to mid-stage flight mastery. At this moment, Emily Harris felt nothing but exhilaration.

As expected, there was a problem. The further they advanced toward the center of Misty Town, the more certain Ethan Clark became of his suspicions.

Previously, although those mutant spiders besieged them, they were organized, attacking and retreating in order. Their attacks had a pattern. But as they suddenly charged toward the center—especially as they got closer to the heart of Misty Town—the mutant spiders became more and more frenzied, each one going berserk, charging forward recklessly as if their lives meant nothing.

Desperation could be explained, but the way they fought for their lives was odd—sacrificing themselves just to hinder Ethan Clark for a moment.

With just your efforts? Still far from enough. The more they tried to stop him, the stronger Ethan Clark’s attacks became. He didn’t get entangled with them, but advanced at the fastest speed.

“Master... look!” Emily Harris pointed into the distance. About thirty meters away, a huge object could be vaguely seen.

Ethan Clark looked up and clearly saw the mutant spider king. Only now, it was even bigger than before—nearly six meters tall, about two stories high, and almost thirty meters long. It was obviously different from the other mutant spiders.

Around it, the area was densely packed with mutant spiders.

The giant mutant spider’s enormous mouth kept sucking in the surrounding mist, then spitting it out again. With each inhale and exhale, the mist thickened, blending into the original fog. The mist around it was clearly much denser than outside.

However, the circulation between these mists seemed very good. In an instant, the thick fog merged with the surrounding mist. If you paid close attention, you’d notice the fog had grown even denser.

So that’s it—this was all caused by the mutant spider king.

The mutant spider king kept repeating the same action. Suddenly, Ethan Clark understood—was this thing cultivating? Like a cultivator in seclusion? Otherwise, with him killing his way here, how could it not have reacted?

If these mutant spiders had any real command, there’s no way they would have made it here so easily—it would have taken a lot more effort.

“Thunderstorm—Tenfold Chain!” Ethan Clark unleashed the tenfold chain thunderstorm again, blasting a path straight to the mutant spider king. The final thunderstorm strike was aimed directly at the spider king.

With an angry screech, the mutant spider king suddenly snapped awake. A massive ball of mutant spider silk met Ethan Clark’s thunderstorm head-on.

“Puff!” The thunderstorm’s explosive force was like a bullet hitting thick sponge. It blew apart the spider silk, but didn’t make a huge explosion.

By now, the area around the mutant spider king was littered with spider corpses. Although more mutant spiders were rushing over, the spider king, seeing all this, was enraged.

Its massive body charged at Ethan Clark and the others like a moving hill.

Even if it really was a hill, just charging forward, Ethan Clark would have blasted it to pieces. Thunder techniques are known for their attack and destructive power. But as the mutant spider king charged, its huge “arm” had already slammed down from above.

In the instant the mutant spider king charged in a rage, Ethan Clark actually saw... a powerful aura inside its body. It was as if he vaguely saw a person with two legs but six arms charging at him.
