Chapter 178: This is the Rotary Arm Fist-Guessing Skill!_2
"Quite the zealot, aren't you? That's too fierce."
Ke Mingye said nonchalantly, while observing the scene unfold through the eyes of Xiaohongmao.
On the other side.
Xiaohongmao raised her magic wand, her figure wrapped in a flutter of crystal-clear snowflakes as she flew mid-air. Her Christmas cone hat flattened by the wind, her soft, golden fringe elegantly fluttering.
She narrowed her ice-blue pupils and, forced to change direction repeatedly in the midst of the Spider Prince's pursuit, she kept ducking into alley after alley, dashing swiftly through corridors of the same shape.
But even with such flexible adaptability, she ultimately lost due to the fundamental difference in speed, which allowed the Spider Prince to catch up to her from behind.
The enamel bone knife stabbed fiercely, slicing a crimson ravine across her shoulder and nearly severing her left arm.
Splat!
Amid the spray of blood, Xiaohongmao embraced her bleeding shoulder, calmly flying forward, rounding a corner after another to extend the distance between her and the Spider Prince.
"Spider Woman, can you even handle this?!"
Magical Girl Hongyue roared, scythe in hand as she dove down.
But Ke Mingye pushed down his left hand, shooting out a strand of web that stuck to her right arm, sternly preventing her from charging at the Spider Prince.
"Please buddy, that's just one of my puppets; if it dies, it dies," Ke Mingye said.
Hongyue turned around, her eyes blazing as she stared at Ke Mingye and yelled, "Which one of you is the Spider Man? I can't tell, I can't tell—!"
"If you can't tell, then don't bother," Ke Mingye said indifferently, "She's the Spider Woman. It doesn't matter if the Spider Woman dies, the Spider Woman is an idiot, okay?"
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
Xiaohongmao said coldly.
After her injury, her speed was nowhere near what it was before. The Spider Prince quickly caught up to her again, his ivory-white bone knife thrusting towards the girl's back, whipping up a howling dirty breeze.
However, at that moment, without even turning her head, Xiaohongmao calmly crushed the Magic Card "Random Flash" in her hand.
As the card shattered, her form instantly vanished from the spot, leaving the Spider Prince stabbing at thin air.
It gradually stopped and looked around bewilderedly, quickly catching Xiaohongmao's scent in the air.
But just then, since both Xiaohongmao and Ke Mingye had put some distance between themselves and the Spider Prince, its black eyes rolled, shifting its attention instead to the figure of Magical Girl Hongyue.
"Oh, come on... keep away from me."
Seeing this, Ke Mingye hurriedly released the webbing from Hongyue's wrist, slowly rotating his own arm to build up revolutions, while bending over to create distance between them.
From a distance, he looked like a fool, or perhaps someone suffering from epilepsy.
"Run."
Magical Girl Xiaohongmao's chilling voice pierced through several corridors, reaching Hongyue's ears.
Upon hearing this, Magical Girl Hongyue immediately reacted.
The Spider Prince had already set his sights on her, prowling with his eight spider legs across the walls of the corridor, bumping along in pursuit.
Hongyue spurred her magic power to fly at high speed toward the end of the corridor, her scythe's blade making a ripping sound as it cut through the air.
"Heh, I knew you couldn't catch up, oh obsessive one," she sneered.
She curled the corners of her mouth upward and glanced over her cheek, catching a glimpse of the Spider Prince with the corner of her eye.
The Spider Prince's massive legs furiously scuttled in the corridor, resembling a giant, writhing insect.
However, the thunderous noise that followed was more terrifying than the sound of a train roaring through a tunnel, invoking fear in those who heard it.
"Damn it, how can he be so fast?"
Hongyue's pupils shrank.
At that moment, from a distance, the Spider Prince suddenly opened his bloody maw and shot a sharp column of blood at Hongyue's silhouette, like a dark, long tongue.

Hongyue quickly turned and activated her skill "Lethal Counterattack" (blocking as much damage from the next attack as possible and recovering a certain amount of health), placing her scythe-shaped magic wand in front of her to intercept the oncoming blood column.
Even so, she was sent flying several meters, crashing into a wall niche, knocking down torches and illuminating her skirt spread out on the ground.
Just two seconds before she was about to be caught, the Spider Prince had already extended his enamel-like bone knives, baring his fangs like a leopard ready to devour his prey at close range.
But at that very moment, a tremendous fireball shot toward him from behind, nearly engulfing half the corridor.
"Arghhhh!"
The fireball momentarily lit up the Spider Prince's somber face; he bellowed furiously as his jade-like body was crazily seared by the flames, hissing and cracking as bright red lines spread across him. When the fireball's power dissipated, the air was still filled with wisps of black smoke and steam, along with the lingering heatwave.
[Wonderful Hit!!!]
[Boss Spider Prince: Carl's Health: 100%→82%]
After a moment, with a fierce look, he twisted his head backward and saw Magical Girl Xiaohongmao floating calmly in the blizzard at the entrance of the corridor, watching him calmly.
"Fireball?"
Magical Girl Hongyue, who was already prepared to fight to the death, turned her head to see that the Magic Card "Fireball Technique" in Xiaohongmao's hand had shattered into specks of light that fell to the ground and disappeared.
"Let's have another."
Xiaohongmao said expressionlessly as she crushed another Fireball Technique card in her hand. The fireball, entwined with rampaging flame serpents, roared forward and whipped up a scorching gale in the dark corridor.
This time, the Spider Prince smartened up, anchoring his form with two spider legs dug into the ground, while the other six formed a dark net in front, blocking the oncoming fireball.
