The magic shield is incredibly powerful, allowing those inside to attack enemies outside while preventing them from entering. For enemies outside, the only options are to either break through the defensive shield with overwhelming force or continuously attack and deplete its energy before making a breakthrough.

  Without any worries, the evil eye and spider army launched a full-scale counterattack. Due to their relatively long range, the evil eye was mainly responsible for attacking the giant crab spiders that were tens of steps away, with dense beams of light firing continuously. The spider army was responsible for attacking the giant crab spiders within tens of steps, although their venom was not as terrifying as the opponent's, but relying on their vast numbers, they still swept through like a scythe, clearing out large areas at once.

  The venom was blocked by the defensive cover, and the giant spider could only launch an attack from underground with a ground thorn. However, since the effective distance of the ground thorn is almost the same as that of the evil eye, it is impossible to kill them. Every time they just crawled up and were about to move forward a few steps, they were quickly killed by the evil eyes.

  Facing the fierce attack of evil eyes and spider armies, giant spiders suffered heavy losses, soon becoming corpses scattered all over the field, with blood flowing like rivers. But for some unknown reason, whether it was a beastly instinct or something else, they continued to charge forward like moths to flames, fearless of death.

  "Sir, the defense shield is about to collapse, what should we do?"

  The defensive canopy was on the verge of collapse, and the endless giant spiders were still nowhere to be seen. The earth essence elder's face turned pale with anxiety. Facing the almost endless giant spiders, facing their terrifying thorns and venom, the consequences of not having a defensive canopy would be unthinkable.

  It turns out that the number of giant crab spiders far exceeded everyone's expectations!

  Could it be that I've unfortunately encountered a super-large spider den?

  After gritting his teeth, Yang Ling fiercely threw out a talisman, blasting away a giant spider and said: "Is there any way to keep the defense cover going? Quick, speak quickly!"

  "Magic power, a large amount of magic power is needed!" The earth spirit elder's eyes lit up and continued to say: "As long as a large amount of magic power is input, the defense cover can be maintained!"

  A large amount of magical power?

  Look at himself without magic, just relying on the magic array to cast spells is another kind of earth method, Yang Ling shook his head helplessly. The army has a large number of people, but there are no magicians. If Gu De were present, with his great magician's cultivation, maybe there would still be a glimmer of hope, unfortunately...

  Squeak...

  Despite the heavy casualties, the giant spider crab greatly consumed the energy of the defensive net with its massive numbers and relentless attacks. The defensive net became thinner and thinner, on the verge of collapse under the overwhelming poisonous liquid attack. In some places, even a few drops of terrifying poison began to leak through.

  The turtle shell-like defense cover is on the verge of collapse!

  "Sir, let's rush out quickly! The cannibal will clear the way, and I'll lead the barbarians to cover our rear!" Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, Agu Su loudly asked for orders, preparing to grit his teeth and make a desperate break.

  Rush out?

  Look at the trembling legs of the earth spirit, and then look around at the dense, endless giant spider. Yang Ling shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he finally understood why even strong warriors like Sword Saint and Magic Seeker would die here.

  For a Sword Saint or Magic Seeker, a giant spider crab is nothing but a trivial matter that can be easily solved with one move. But if you are surrounded by thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of giant spider crabs, it's completely different.

  When ants reach a certain level, even an elephant will be bitten to death!

  Can the demonic crystal core be arranged like a crystal stone to form a witchcraft array, so can the witch power be converted into what is called magic?

  As the giant spiders were on the verge of collapse under the fierce counterattack, some of them had their limbs torn off. Even crystal nuclei the size of peanuts fell out, and Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly thought of an idea.

  Look at the terrified spirit archers and barbarians, then look at the increasingly mad giant spider crab, he decided to die a horse as a living doctor, constantly pouring his internal witch power into the defensive cover.

  As soon as the witchcraft power infused by Yang Ling came into contact, the defensive cover shook slightly and emitted a faint red glow that seemed to be there but not quite. Amidst the subtlety, a soft hum seemed to have been transmitted.

  It seemed to be having some effect, so Yang Ling didn't hesitate anymore and frantically poured the witch power inside him into the defensive cover. Suddenly, the defensive cover glowed brightly red, shook for a moment, and then emitted a blood-red light that firmly blocked the giant spider's attack.

  As Yang Ling displayed his divine powers, one person alone supported the entire defensive net. The Evil Eye Tyrant and the Wolf Spider King's morale greatly increased, commanding their respective armies to counterattack with all their might. Especially the Evil Eye Tyrant, who continuously fired explosive shells, specifically targeting the giant spider's large overlords, disintegrating their attacking power and morale.

  *sigh*...

  After a strange cry, the giant spider crab did not retreat but instead advanced, ferociously and fearlessly pouncing on him. Looking at their appearance, it seemed as if they were prepared to exhaust the witch's power within Yang Ling's body.

  This is a complete showdown of wills!

  Yang Ling poured in the witch power without reservation, continuously replenishing the defensive shield, occasionally taking out a few magic beast blood pearls to supplement the consumed witch power. However, it was still far from enough compared to the consumed witch power.

  What's going on? Am I supposed to be worn out to death like this?

  As he looked into the distance, countless giant spider crabs were surging over, and Yang Ling's brows furrowed tightly, knowing that this was not a viable solution. The magic beast blood pearls stored in the spatial ring were already scarce, and they absolutely wouldn't last for much longer.

  What? Demon beast essence?

  Thinking of the remaining few drops of Magic Beast Blood Pearl, and looking at the endless flow of giant spider's blood, Yang Ling's heart moved, and he thought of a crazy idea.

  Time was of the essence, he was using his mind and hands simultaneously. On one hand, he was channeling the remaining witch power in his body into the defensive shield, while on the other hand, he was using witchcraft to condense the flowing giant spider's blood into beads of blood that he swallowed with gritted teeth to replenish his depleted witch power.

  Needless to say, the earth spirit elder and Agu Su quickly understood Yang Ling's intention, and they worked together to dig out small ditches, diverting the giant spider crab's flowing blood to Yang Ling's side.

  When condensing the Blood Bead of the Magic Beast, a faint bloody aura would be emitted. Before long, a thick and heavy blood mist gathered around Yang Ling, enveloping him entirely.

  Like this, Yang Ling gritted his teeth and single-handedly supported the massive magical defense canopy. Under the protection of the defense canopy, the evil eye, spider, and spirit arrow hand went all out to counterattack, crazily hunting down the giant crab spiders that came flooding in like a tide. And the ferocious giant crab spiders fell one after another, being killed one by one like moths flying into flames, indirectly providing Yang Ling with abundant ammunition.

  Slowly, after realizing that the giant spider couldn't attack him, Yang Ling simply started cultivating on the spot, exploring the secrets of the defensive cover.

  Input a thread of witch power, then input another thread of green life energy...

  ******

  Under the clear and bright Lingtai, he soon vaguely understood the secret of the defensive cover. Slowly, the efficiency became higher and higher, the consumption of witch power and life energy became less and less, while the intensity of the defensive cover became stronger and stronger. From the initial crimson color, it changed to alternating red and green lights flowing, and after the giant spider's venom was sprayed on, there was no longer much impact.

  It wasn't long before the giant spider army was almost exhausted of its last bit of magic and physical strength, and no more giant spiders came from afar. Under the double attack of the elf archers and the spider army, the number of giant spiders surrounding the defensive shield gradually decreased.

  Squeak...

  It wasn't until the losses were severe and the bodies piled up like mountains that the giant spiders finally came to their senses, retreating in droves under the command of a gigantic spider the size of a calf.

  The giant spider retreated like a tide, but unfortunately, it was too late!

  As soon as Yang Ling gave the order, the army launched a swift attack. The Horned Beast and Stone Statue Ghost, whose eyes were bloodshot from holding their breath, chased after them in a flash, while the violent Ghouls and Barbarians refused to fall behind. Even the timid Earth Imps, who usually cowered like mice, shouted as they desperately caught up.

  Under the beast's furious attack, the horned wasp flew low and fast, shooting out deadly poisonous stingers one by one, killing the giant crab spiders that were fleeing in panic. The stone statue ghost was even more ruthless, diving down from high altitude with a loud "whoosh" sound, grabbing the giant crab spider and then tearing it apart with great force, ripping them alive into two halves in mid-air.

  After being intercepted by the Angle Worm Beast and the Stone Statue Ghost, the remaining giant spiders turned around and fled in all directions. However, the demonic beast army had already been enraged with bloodshot eyes, where would they spare anyone easily?

  Under the circumstances, some giant spiders were smashed into meat paste by bloodthirsty cannibals, some were nailed to the ground with long arrows by elven archers, and some were trampled into mud by dryad warriors over ten meters tall...

  Half an hour later, the entire Tardon Valley was filled with the corpses and blood of giant spider crabs. According to preliminary estimates, at least 500,000 giant spider crabs were killed by everyone.

  50,000 giant spiders, this battle has completely wiped out the giant spiders in the valley, even if there are any remaining, they can't stir up any waves!

  After the war, after repeated statistics, a total of 80 man-eating demons, 20 barbarians and 50 spiders were lost. Although the loss was unprecedented, compared to the countless giant spiders, it was not worth mentioning.

  Apart from the casualties, there were also many wounded warriors and demonic beasts. However, after timely rescue efforts, the vast majority of the injured survived. Especially the demonic beast army, after receiving treatment in the tower, as long as they still had a breath of life, they could slowly recover.

  After letting out a sigh of relief, Yang Ling sat down cross-legged under the guard of a team of horned beasts, carefully examining the changes within his body, allowing the spider army to devour the crystal nuclei scattered on the ground by the giant crab spider.

  The crystal nucleus of the giant crab spider is not large, and it may not be worth much on the outside, but for the spider army, this is an absolutely precious supplement. In their haste, the wolf spiders even directly tore the giant crab spider's corpse into pieces, swallowing the crystal nucleus and fragments together, including the wolf spider king who was no exception.

  After swallowing the massive magic beast's blood pearl, Yang Ling found that the witch power in his body was even more enormous. The same spell now unleashed greater power. After entering the valley, he could originally only command the hornet beasts to move within 500 meters, but now he easily expanded the distance to 1,000 meters, and his strength almost doubled.

  Maybe, just need to add a bit more effort, can reach the realm of earth witch and condense the witch pill?

  After understanding the situation inside, Yang Ling was excited. According to Fang Jian Bei's explanation, as long as the witch Dan is condensed, one can truly touch the essence of witchcraft and gradually master more mysterious and profound witchcraft.
