Chapter 338 This is my escape route!
"Alright, those annoying bugs are taken care of... Time to crush these troublesome agents!"
The sand giant's grating, eerie laughter echoed through the streets, carrying a cruel, cathartic pleasure.
Its massive body slowly turned, casting its murderous "gaze" back down at the District 13 agents below.
In its simple mind, the monkey that could shoot webs like Spider-Man and was as noisy as Spider-Man had been completely buried along with the house.
So now, it's time to settle old scores with the agents of District 13.
"Maintain formation and get ready!"
Meanwhile, the remaining District 13 agents below were deeply shaken by the devastating attack from the Sand Giant and the sight of Spider-Man, who had brought them hope, so easily perishing before their eyes.
But with the added buff of grief and determination brought about by the "captain's sacrifice," not one of them retreated! Instead, their teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding, and their eyes burned with an almost insane flame.
They were ready to form the last line of defense with their own flesh and blood, to buy even a second more time for their colleagues in Group C to prepare for the transfer mission!
Even if it costs me my life, I'm willing to pay the price!
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the atmosphere became tense, and a new round of one-sided slaughter was about to erupt...
An unexpected scene unfolded.
"Cough cough cough... Ugh! What the hell? I almost got buried alive... Seriously, if this damn watch had just obeyed me once and let me turn into a super-powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex, I would have smashed this thing into the ground and turned it into a potted plant! Damn it, one day, this thing will kill me!"
A familiar, clearly dissatisfied voice of complaint faintly emanated from the chaotic ruins of the house, which should have been devoid of any signs of life!
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, instantly striking all the "listeners" on the battlefield!
The sand giant's massive hand, which was about to swing out, suddenly froze.
The head, made of sand, incredulously lowered inch by inch, following the source of the sound. For the first time, the blurred features clearly showed a change in emotion of "shock," while the gaze was fixed on the pile of rubble from which the sound came.
The District 13 agents, who were prepared to die, were stunned upon hearing the voice. They could hardly believe their ears and turned their gazes to the ruins where the smoke and dust had not yet completely dissipated.
Then, under the complex gazes of the Sand Giant and the agents, each with their own distinct expressions…
"Splash—!"
A pile of bricks and stones was suddenly pushed aside from the inside!
The figure of that thin, blue monkey with four arms actually crawled out of the ruins, swaying unsteadily!
Then, while comically patting off the thick layer of dust that covered his body, he spat out the sand in his mouth with disgust. The way he was busy with all four arms made him look a little flustered.
However, what is certain is that after taking a hit from the sand giant, it was completely unharmed!
Aside from looking dusty and its blue fur being dyed a dull gray, there were no other obvious injuries on this monkey! Not even a scratch!
She remained agile and even had the leisure to wet two of her hands with her tongue and fix her crooked "hair"!
It turns out that when the spider demon monkey was hastily weaving the spider silk defensive cocoon, it was well aware of its own weaknesses and had already foreseen that using its own spider silk to withstand a sandstorm of that scale and intensity would be a terrible idea!
Therefore, its seemingly all-around defensive cocoon was actually not sealed with spider silk at the bottom at all!
Instead, while the two hands at the top assist the tail in weaving, the two feet and the other hand on the waist and abdomen, under the cover of the cocoon-like barrier, are frantically hammering and destroying the roof structure beneath their feet!
Then, at the very moment the spider silk cocoon was formed and the sand giant's attack arrived, he had already quietly torn a large hole beneath his feet! The entire monkey fell directly into the lower level of the building!
In this way, the seemingly "last line of defense" sturdy spider cocoon is actually just a "bait" to attract firepower and the first buffer!
The real defense is the house itself!
The layers of floor slabs, furniture, and walls greatly reduced the impact and speed of the sand and gravel that penetrated the spider silk cocoon.
During this time, even if one or two shots occasionally hit the Spider Demon Monkey, the internal impact was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original force, making it no different from a tickle!
By the time the sand giants stopped attacking and the houses began to collapse, the spider monkeys had already used their agility to find a relatively safe corner in the gaps of the ruins.
It's worth mentioning that the seemingly frail Spider-Monkey could actually be renamed "Spider-Man".
Because, like Spider-Man, it has a strong resistance to blunt force trauma and heavy external pressure that is extremely inconsistent with its slender appearance!
Therefore, even though the entire building collapsed, the resulting ruins firmly buried it at the very bottom.
For the Spider Monkey, it just means that it will take a little longer to dig an escape route!
In this situation, the final result is...
The Sand Giant's seemingly devastating saturation attack was actually just a free demolition operation, covering the Spider Monkey with a thick "dust blanket"!
"Hey everyone! If you're going to demolish something, fine, but making this much dust is really bad for the environment! And your methods are too rough, thumbs down!"
Seemingly noticing the astonished gaze of the Sand Giant, the Spider Monkey finally stopped grooming itself, put its hands on its hips, raised its head, and put on its signature mocking expression, showing no mercy as it openly ridiculed the Sand Giant.
"And I'm genuinely curious... if you can't even handle a monkey, where do you get the audacity to go looking for trouble with Spider-Man?"
His unharmed state and relaxed, carefree banter, combined with the devastating ruins around him, created a striking visual contrast.
The sand giant was completely stunned, its massive body even momentarily frozen in place.
It clearly couldn't understand how something smaller than one of its fingers could survive its attack without a scratch!
After all, in its limited understanding, if its move had landed squarely... even if Spider-Man himself were here, he would have died on the spot!
Little did they know that during the short few months it spent in prison...
The Spider-Man he remembered has become even more terrifying and horrifying with each new version!
Otherwise, how could it dare to become so arrogant just because it gained superpowers, daring to actively cause trouble for the Parker couple! Instead of immediately going into hiding and wanting to get as far away from Spider-Man as possible!
