Chapter 466: The Spider Queen's Counterattack
Lido used her internal energy to heal the internal injuries caused by the wind blade hitting her body, but she just let the wounds torn by the wind blade on the exposed areas not covered by the snake skin inner armor stop bleeding automatically and then ignored them.
After the blood dried, there were red and black marks all over her body, but even if Lido didn't seek treatment, with her self-healing ability it could only be considered a minor injury at best. It just looked serious, and others didn't know that Lido's internal injuries had healed.
The reason for doing this was to show it to the people of the United Legion, so that they wouldn't think that everything Lido did was easy and have any bad thoughts.
After confirming that the goal had been achieved, Lido quickly returned to the temporary city wall.
Now the wind and fire tornado has poured into the lava cave. The Spider Queen and the remaining three-eyed demon soul spiders have nowhere to hide. The spider group is still okay, but the Spider Queen will not just sit there and wait to die without resistance, so Lido has to keep an eye on her to prevent any accidents.
Knowing that both the Spider Queen and the Three-Eyed Demon Soul Spiders were good at mental attacks, Lido was naturally on guard. However, since mental power could not be sustained for too long in a wind and fire tornado, Lido released a large amount of mental power in the middle area between the location of the United Legion and the stone wall encirclement, so that she could sense the attack from the Spider Queen and respond in time.
The Spider Queen's counterattack came much later than expected. Perhaps it had figured out a way to delay the spread of the wind and fire tornado in the lava cave, or perhaps something unexpected had happened in the lava cave.
Now that the temporary city wall has been raised, the situation inside the stone wall encirclement can be seen from the wall. Lido clearly saw that the flames in the area where the lava cave was located had suddenly subsided a lot, and the color had become much dimmer, as if it had turned into an ordinary flame and was about to go out.
The hurricane caused by the explosion of the Wind Style Rasengan seemed to be offset by something, and its power was greatly reduced.
However, the area where the lava cave is located is like the contrast between a pond and a lake compared to the wind and fire tornado that fills the entire swamp. Previously, due to the explosion of the Wind Style Rasengan, the local energy density was higher than other areas, and the hurricane caused by it even reversed the rotation of the wind and fire tornado in that area.
But this thing, either the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind prevails over the east wind. Now that the power of the hurricane has weakened, the wind and fire tornadoes in the surrounding areas have immediately returned and filled the area again.
Although as a result, the power of the wind and fire tornado in a large area around it inevitably decreased a lot and gradually affected the entire wind and fire tornado, it still maintained a continuous infusion of flames into the lava cave.
Lido saw that the color of the flames in this area flickered from time to time. It was obvious that the thing in the lava cave was still continuing to offset the wind and fire tornado.
But in the end, the wind and fire tornado prevailed, and the color of the flame stabilized again. However, Lido clearly felt that the temperature around her had dropped by several degrees, and the height of the rising flame also dropped by twenty or thirty meters!
What does this mean? This means that the wind and fire tornado has lost a lot of energy!
It seems that the thing in the lava cave cannot be underestimated.
But it’s a good thing this way, as it makes it easier for Lido to extinguish the wind and fire tornado later.
And as long as the wind and fire tornado is not extinguished, there is no need to worry about the spider group being able to escape. Lido estimates that except for the 'Spider Queen', the other three-eyed demon soul spiders should have been killed.
It doesn't make sense for the spider group to use means that can offset such a huge amount of energy from the wind and fire tornado while the "Spider Queen" is still there.
Now the wind and fire tornado has stabilized again. If the Spider Queen has no other means, then it will be her turn to enjoy the feeling of being burned by the flames, right?
Lido secretly raised her guard, knowing that the Spider Queen's counterattack was likely to come!
Just as Lido was concentrating, suddenly a powerful mental shock wave swept towards the United Army like a surging wave.
This force rushed through the mental warning zone set up by Lido and went straight to the dragon's lair.
The 'Spider Queen' actually has such tremendous mental power!
Lido was horrified and quickly released a large amount of mental power to transform it into a mental barrier to wrap around the joint army and try to resist.
Due to being too hasty, the mental barrier constructed by Lido was very rough, and the total amount of mental power that could be output at a time was also very limited. The energy density was naturally not very high, and it just blocked the United Legion at the last moment.
The mental shock wave hit the mental barrier with a silent loud noise, and the mental barrier shattered, but the mental shock wave also lost most of its kinetic energy and turned into free mental energy particles.
However, the aftershocks caused by the collision of the mental shock wave and the mental barrier also made the people of the United Legion feel extremely uncomfortable.
Many people suddenly experienced tinnitus and dizziness, some even had their eyes rolled back and collapsed to the ground, and most of the elves were forcibly recalled.
In that one move just now, Lido lost one-fifth of her total mental strength!
After Klido fired that Wind Style Rasengan, she only had a little over half of her total mental power left. This was equivalent to losing one third of her total remaining mental power!
Fearing that the Spider Queen would launch further attacks, Lido gritted her teeth, increased her mental output, and constructed a mental barrier to cover the joint army.
However, this time it was not so hasty. The shape of the mental barrier was much more regular than before. In addition, Lido asked the people of the joint army to stay together as much as possible, which reduced the range that the mental barrier needed to cover. Therefore, with the same mental power output, the energy density on the barrier was nearly twice as high.
In addition, unlike the mental barrier just formed before which was shattered by the mental shock wave, the mental energy particles in this mental barrier are still flowing in an orderly manner, which greatly increases the defensive capability of the mental barrier.
Fortunately, the Spider Queen did not send out continuous mental shock waves, which gave Lido the opportunity to build a stronger mental barrier.
I don't know whether the Spider Queen is unable to send out mental shock waves continuously or the previous mental shock wave was the last attack. Otherwise, Lido would be at a loss, and the injuries suffered by the people of the United Army might be more than just this.
In short, the mental barrier cannot be removed now, so it is better to be prepared.
Liduo's preparations were not wasted, and were even slightly insufficient! But Liduo had no choice but to save some mental energy for backup.
About a quarter of an hour after the first wave of mental shock waves, "Squeak!" a shrill and long scream sounded in everyone's mind.
Those were not sound waves received by the ears, but were "heard" at the soul level, accompanied by a wave of mental power that was stronger than the previous mental power shock wave and pounced on the mental power barrier.
Waves of mental power surged in one after another. Lido gritted her teeth and continuously output mental power to keep the mental power barrier intact.
The screams that everyone "heard" were just the aftermath of the attack filtered by the spiritual energy particles flowing on the spiritual barrier.
It is precisely because the mental barrier this time was not as head-on as last time that it was able to last so long.
The mental wave continued to attack as long as the screams lasted, until the screams suddenly rose, as if the curtain fell after the final wail, and the mental wave lost its strength and gradually disappeared.
Perhaps, this is the Spider Queen's final counterattack?
