Chapter 461 Spider God Joyful Sacrifice

On the dark underground dome.

Countless black spider silks are cleverly connected together to weave a huge and complex spider web.

These spider silks are filled with a dark breath, like a giant beast opening its mouth, waiting for prey to enter the web.

Spider Queen Iris transformed into a giant black spider, entrenched in the spider web, looking at Huo Jixing below with a slightly fearful look.

Although the ancient demon Evelyn assisted her, she still had no confidence in this battle.

Because Iris knew Huo Jixing's terrifying strength.

In the Shurima continent, she and Vladimir teamed up to ambush Huo Jixing.

The final result was one death and one escape.

Iris, who fled in a panic, returned directly to the capital of Noxus and hid in a secret cave, full of anxiety and fear.

Vladimir's death and the strength shown by Huo Jixing lingered in her heart like a nightmare, making her dare not show up again.

This time, Iris was hesitant in the face of the invitation from the pale lady.

She thought of everything she had, and reluctantly agreed to the pale lady, preparing to fight Huo Jixing again.

Fortunately, this time Iris's mission was not to defeat Huo Jixing, but to entangle him.

So that Huo Jixing could not be distracted and rush to the other two battlefields below.

On the eve of the battle, Iris also reviewed and studied Huo Jixing's fighting style and extraordinary strength in order to better face the danger.

[Cocoon]!

Iris looked at Huo Jixing, gently raised her slender fingers, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

Suddenly, many black spider silks fell silently, hidden in the darkness, and attacked the target like a ghost.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly saw the black spider silk attacking in the dark.

But he did not move, just stood quietly.

Suddenly!

A touch of red-gold Nanli fire ignited out of thin air, like a thousand birds dancing, burning the falling spider silk.

As the fire spread, the dark underground castle became as bright as day, and everything around was clearly visible under the light of the fire.

Huo Jixing looked over the flames and stared at Iris, who had turned into a spider.

In detail, he and Iris had met three times, and he had some understanding of her character.

Iris looked powerful and cruel.

But she didn't like to use her strength, and preferred to hide in the dark and plan everything with strategies.

Moreover, Iris would never attack so blatantly against a target who was obviously stronger than herself.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, and Iris's origin emerged in his mind.

Iris was born into the Kisira family hundreds of years ago, one of the oldest bloodlines in the Noxus Empire.

When she was young, she knew how to use the power of beauty and use this power to influence the judgment of the weak.

When Iris reached the age of marriage, she was pursued by Borhot, the heir of the Zaafan family.

Many people opposed their union because it would unilaterally strengthen the power of the Kisira family at the expense of the Zaafan family.

But Iris took great pains to deceive her fiancé and played tricks on all those who were against her, and finally facilitated the marriage.

But Iris didn't know that this political marriage had been planned for many years, and it was the shadow power behind the scenes of the empire that arranged everything.

Both Boerhot and Iris were pawns in this huge game.

Despite this, no one expected that Iris could control the Zaafan family so thoroughly.

It seems that Boerhot is still the family in the open, but people with eyes can see who has the final say.

Over time, Boerhot became more and more resentful of Iris.

In the end, resentment turned into murder.

During the cold and silent dinner, Boerhot showed his cards and told Iris directly.

He poisoned her wine and asked Iris to withdraw from social affairs and let him control the actual power.

Who is Iris?

She was able to control the Zaafan family in a short period of time by virtue of her cruelty and forbearance.

In the face of death, Iris knew that Borhot would definitely bring the antidote with him.

So she chose to forbear, pretending to be a remorseful wife, begging her husband for forgiveness in tears.

Just when Borhot seemed convinced, Iris stabbed him in the heart with a silver dinner knife.

Even with the antidote, Iris was still bedridden for several weeks.

According to many news records, many noble forces at that time believed that Iris would die in the noble struggle.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Iris survived.

It was the appearance of the black rose that changed her fate.

In fact, the Pale Lady did not care who was in power among the nobles, but only whether the people in power were loyal to her.

Since Iris had killed Borhot, who was a puppet, she had to prove her worth.

Otherwise, she would find a more suitable person to replace her.

Faced with such a ladder of power, Elise joined the conspiracy group with more enthusiasm than almost anyone before.

She often met with members of the Black Rose, exchanging resources and tactics, and weaving a complex network of interlocking strategies to obstruct her opponents.

Relying on the wealth of the two families, few people can compete with her, and she is becoming more and more adept at persuading others to obey her.

Finally, in order to win the favor of the Pale Lady, Elise took her followers and sailed to the Shadow Isles to retrieve something that the Black Rose valued very much.

"The relationship between Elise and the Pale Lady is definitely not as simple as what is reported in the intelligence."

Huo Jixing looked at Elise spinning out spider silk from a distance, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The intelligence system at the time did not record the specific items that Elise retrieved on Shadow Island.

But it was mentioned that it was related to the plan of the pale lady and the black rose.

As a result, Elise became a believer in the Spider God, the Vile Maw, which greatly improved her status within the Black Rose.

Almost on the same level as Vladimir and the Pale Lady.

[Plundering and Furious]!

When Elise saw the raging fire, she immediately took a deep breath and called out the many small black spiders in the darkness.

These little spiders are unusual, made entirely of dark forces.

In the form of self-destruction, they set off a billowing wave of darkness, preventing the flames from raging, like a conflict between night and day.

At the same time, Elise herself frequently spun black spider silk to construct her own spells.

I saw layers of spider silk surrounding Huo Jixing, forming a huge pupa-like structure.

Huo Jixing noticed Elise's secret movements and shook his head slightly.

He walked through the air, with the phantom of Nanli Suzaku reflected behind him.

Sonorous!

Huo Jixing did not use the spiritual wind, but used his hand as a knife to slash at the nearby spider silk.

The next moment!

Nanli Suzaku raised his head and soared into the sky from behind him. His flaming wings rolled up red-gold flames, turning into a sea of ​​​​fire and burning the cobwebs.

The spider silk that Elise had just spit out burned one by one under the burning fire of Nanli, and had no effect at all.

Even the little black spider that rushed forward and exploded towards the fire of Nanli became the fuel of the flame like a moth to the flame.

"Something's wrong. His power is much stronger than in Shurima."

Elise frowned, fear appearing in her red eyes.

Although the power Huo Jixing displayed was still the power of fire, it was obviously much more calm than when he was in Shurima.

“And where is Evelin?”

Elise scanned the surroundings, but there was no trace of Evelin, as if she had already left the battlefield.

"Damn it, didn't the pale lady make a deal with her? Why haven't you taken action now?"

Chichi! Chichi!

The black spider web continued to burn under the lick of flames, and each thread made a faint crackling sound.

Elise clearly felt the burning heat coming towards her face, and a touch of fear emerged in her heart.

She immediately looked at the weaving chrysalis, and the red-gold flames burned away the spider silk.

In the sky full of fire, Huo Jixing's figure became increasingly clear, rushing towards him.

Elise could no longer care about Evelin's escape. She now had to consider how she should face Huo Jixing's offensive.

Huo Jixing's growth rate made Elise feel fatally dangerous.

With her strength, it was too difficult to deal with the current Huo Jixing.

"Don't blame me, blame fate."

Elise's eyes were fierce and she gritted her teeth and said.

Then she lowered her head and took out a strange black skull from her neck, with ancient writing on it.

The black skull floated out of thin air, and invisible pressure enveloped the castle, as if a majestic being was about to arrive.

"Are you preparing to summon the Spider God, the Vile Maw?"

Huo Jixing stopped walking and stared at the black skull in front of Elise.

He had seen this black skull before in Bilgewater.

At that time, Elise used this to summon the Spider God, the Vile Maw, to resist Nagakapoulos' will to revive.

Ancient spells sounded, and a strange atmosphere filled the dome.

Elise stretched out her spider legs, gently pressed against the black skull, opened her ferocious mouth, and spit out ancient and complex words, each syllable like ancient poetry.

Buzz! Buzz!

As Elise recited the incantation, the black skull trembled, as if calling the departed souls, or as if the demon in the abyss was responding.

Suddenly!

Many of the core members of the Black Rose who were fighting below let out shrill wails, and black smoke billowed out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses.

The black smoke swirled together, taking on the shape of a spider.

They seem to be inhabiting the bodies of the core members of the Black Rose, greedily devouring flesh, blood and souls.

They were the chosen sacrifices and had had happy times with Elise.

Infused with the soul of flesh and blood, majestic power surged from the top of the black skull, condensing an illusory portal.

Elise first looked at the door, then looked at the chaotic array of black roses below, and licked her lips.

"What a pity!"

After this incident, basically no one in Black Rose dared to have fun with her.

But what Elise cares about is not these, but the pale lady.

After she became a follower of the Spider God, the Vile Maw, the Pale Lady formally invited her to join the Black Rose.

Of course Elise understood the purpose of the pale lady doing this.

Because she can travel to and from the Shadow Island through the black skull and the power of the Spider God.

The two hit it off immediately, and Black Rose will provide Elise with a steady stream of stupid sacrifices to the Spider God.

In return, Elise will bring back any object with power from that dark, forbidden shore.

As for the origin of the black skull.

Elise remembered very clearly that it was the skull belonging to the ancient warlord Sarn U'zul.

In ancient times, the brutal Tharn Uzul attacked many tribes and established the earliest Noxus Empire.

In Elise's subsequent investigation.

Tharn Uzul was driven by darkness, cleansed all the tribes and villages that blocked him, and forged his own empire with blood and death.

"Are you scared too?" Elise looked at Huo Jixing who had stopped and grinned.

She still remembers the feeling of the fangs of the Spider God, Despicable Throat, piercing her shoulder.

She fell to the ground, howling, twitching, and begging. The venom brought terrible changes to her body.

Her spine rose and fell involuntarily, and finally many spider legs pierced through the flesh on her back.

When everything was over, Elise saw her master, the Spider God, Despicable Throat, standing tall in front of her.

"Don't worry, you will soon taste the pain and fear!"

But after a while.

The black portal has stabilized, and hideous spider legs extend from both sides.

Iris came to him and knelt on the ground.

The dark mist surged, gradually condensing into a giant spider like a mountain, almost occupying the underground dome.

On the black body, red eyes looked down, ruthless and indifferent.

"What a familiar breath!"

Huo Jixing looked up at the giant spider that filled his vision in the sky and exhaled lightly.

Once upon a time, he was unable to resist the Spider God, the Despicable Throat.

At that time, he was like an insignificant ant, and could only tremble in fear in front of the terrifying power of the Spider God.

And now, looking at the descending Spider God, he can clearly feel that this is just a wisp of consciousness, not the real body.

Huo Jixing took out the spiritual wind from his waist, stretched out his hand and brushed it, and the Nanli Fire attached to the blade.

The flame jumped, just like the fighting spirit burning in his heart.

"Kill!"

Huo Jixing shouted softly, and the Nanli Suzaku behind him also cried and rushed straight to the Spider God.

The sword rose, and the fog dissipated!

Huo Jixing merged into the Nanli Suzaku, the red-gold flames drove away the descending black fog, and the sharp sword light shot straight into the sky.

The Spider God, Despicable Throat, still maintained his indifference.

When the sword light came to him, he casually raised his spider leg and stepped on Huo Jixing.

It looked like he was stepping on an ignorant ant, ready to step on it to death at once.

Clang!

But the next moment, the Spider God let out a painful whine, and his huge body couldn't help trembling.

The crimson compound eyes stared at the ant-like existence below, with anger and murderous intent that could not be hidden.

"Is that all the strength?"

Huo Jixing noticed the crimson compound eyes of the Spider God and laughed softly.

The Spirit Wind slashed down, and the Spider God's extended black spider leg broke directly.

Then, the Nanli Fire ignited, surrounded the broken black spider, and burned it to ashes.

"Let me see what the power of the gods is like?"
