Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Chapter 300: Danger in Qingyuan

The following day, the sun shone from above and soft, white clouds like cotton floated over Beiming’s Qingyuan City.

When stood on higher ground, one could catch the rare sight of greenery and vast lands beyond the city.

However, the scenery within the city was tragic. There were corpses of all ages with poisonous gas spread throughout the city’s streets.

In Sky Mountain Qingyuan City, thousands of blue spiders that looked incredibly violent surrounded the city towers.

Qingyuan City’s mayor, Qin Ao was twenty-eight years old. He was dressed in white clothing with golden embroidery. His bangs were swept aside and he wore a gold silk hairpin. He had a sharp chin, sweeping brows, and bright, sharp eyes. He had an elegant, tall nose bridge and tightly pursed, delicate, thin lips.

What did he see? Those spiders killed over tens of thousands of citizens in one night.

They deserved to die!

Qin Ao’s handsome, moon-like face burned with rage. “Fire!” He ordered in a shrill voice.

Swiiish swiiish swiiish...

One after the other, sharp arrows shot swiftly at the spiders on the ground.

Bam bam bam...

Unfortunately, the sharp arrows were useless against the blue spiders because the hard shells on their back were practically impenetrable.

Qin Ao was seriously shocked. He clenched his fists and shouted another order. “Quickly shoot the fire arrows!”

Swiiish swiiish swiiish... Several hundred fiery arrows rained down from the city towers made of cyan bricks.

The Blue Spider King raised his four big and hairy legs with no emotions on his face and looked over at the soldiers above the city walls. He wasn’t afraid of the ordinary fire in the slightest.

Qin Ao saw those spiders dance proudly and his teeth ached with fury.

“Spray boiling hot oil on those spiders!” He then ordered.

Splashhh...

The soldiers splashed the hot oil from above the city towers like it didn’t cost a thing.

The blue spiders all too several steps back and danced proudly.

Qin Ao gritted his teeth and tightly clenched his fists. “Use poison powder!” He ordered.

Phwoar...

The soldiers unleashed basins full of poison powder against the wind and towards the blue spiders.

The blue spiders retreated once again and continued to dance in joy.

Qin Ao looked completely distressed in the face and frantically cried, “Q-quickly, throw rocks!”

Thump thump thump...

Large rocks were thrown endlessly at the blue spiders, but none of them landed a hit.

The blue spiders retreated a few more steps, as they let the puny soldiers waste their energy. In the end, they didn’t manage to land a hit on the blue spiders.

The Blue Spider King seemed to have had enough, as his eight legs sprung up and down until it suddenly crawled up the tower.

He flew onto the armor of a soldier and instantly stabbed their sharp spikes into him. “Ahhhh!” The soldier screamed in pain.

Then, the soldier collapsed onto the ground with a face full of black gas.

Qin Ao was left instantly in shock and no way to snap out of it, when he saw the soldier’s tragic state and the look of ferocity on the spider’s faces.

It looks like Qingyuan City’s about to be done for!

Then, he gritted his teeth and hastily turned to leave.

He left with hundreds of men from the back gates, then prepared to go to the capital to ask the emperor for help.

After a day, Qin Ao killed three horses from exhaustion before finally reaching the capital with his men.

There, they hurriedly headed for the imperial palace.

In the Dark Moon Palace, Qin Ao followed the sun rays during noon and stepped inside. His clean, good-looking face looked considerably worn out but still proud as ever.

“Qingyuan City’s mayor Qin Ao to see the emperor!” He respectfully announced after he stepped into the palace.

Han Moze furrowed his sharp brows and spoke with a deep voice. “Rise. I wonder why the mayor of a Qingyuan has come to see me today.”

Qin Ao took a deep breath, then bitter explained. “Your Majesty, Qingyuan City was seized by a swarm of blue spiders yesterday. Tens of thousands of citizens who could run, did. Those able hide, did so too. Right now, Qingyuan City is filled with corpses! As the mayor, I have tried every trick in the book but none of it was effective, so I must ask Your Majesty for your urgent assistance.”
