"Whoosh!"
A black shadow flashed by.
Ben swung his tail, its black bone-like structure tearing through steel and air like a sharp blade!
Kraven was forced to scramble for cover, his head clutched.
"Hunting Spider-Man?"
"Now, tell me, who's the prey!"
Ben shouted.
He was practically toying with Kraven.
With the enhancements from the Spider Gene, Stinkfly's combat power had increased by more than just one level, especially in terms of strength, endurance, and agility, which had seen significant improvements.
While the overall destructive power was still incomparable to the first generation of the Three War Gods, these guys were no match for him.
Coupled with Stinkfly's mobility, it could be said that Stinkfly was now incredibly powerful in terms of combat ability.
Although Ben always complained about Stinkfly's slow flight speed, it depended on who you were comparing it to.
At Heatblast's maximum propulsion, its movement speed was enough to break through the atmosphere, so Stinkfly was naturally far inferior. However, compared to an attack helicopter, it was more than enough.
Its powerful reaction speed was enough to dodge bullets.
Kraven was like a pathetic trapped beast at this moment, snarling ferociously, but appearing even more ridiculous due to his helplessness.
He grabbed a barrel of oil and hurled it at Ben.
However, a stream of slime sprayed from Ben's tentacles. The moment it hit, it instantly corroded the metal oil barrel.
If this terrifying power were to hit a person, it would probably only take a few breaths to turn their body into a watery mess.
Stinkfly's slime had two different types.
One was the strong acid that could corrode steel, as seen just now. The other was not very destructive but was very sticky and tough. Furthermore, when exposed to high temperatures, it would trigger a reaction, causing a violent explosion.
The principle was similar to marsh gas meeting fire.
"Is your slime endless?"
From the beginning until now, Kraven couldn't remember how much slime Ben had spat out.
To be honest, the total amount of these secretions might have already exceeded Ben's weight, but even so, he could still keep spraying it continuously.
Kraven couldn't help but suspect that this stuff wasn't Ben's own secretion at all. Those four tentacle-like things were actually a dimensional portal, allowing Ben to continuously teleport slime over...
One had to admit, his imagination was quite vivid.
But unfortunately...
Ben said, "I can fight all day!"
Of course, this was just a thought. He was quite sure that no one in this world would want to spend a pleasant night with a big green caterpillar with a mouth full of green teeth, whose breath could corrode one's own face.
So, since his girlfriend couldn't enjoy it, then, "It's all for you!"
Ben directly activated Gatling mode.
Kraven dodged incessantly.
He used the obstacles in the factory to evade attacks, while constantly throwing debris, trying to knock Ben down this way.
But without exception, they were all shot down.
Ben wasn't a sharpshooter, but with his current reaction speed, those incoming objects were like watching a slow-motion replay.
Seeing that his tactics were ineffective, Kraven didn't hesitate to pull out a dagger, preparing for close combat with Ben.
As a hunter, he still had that much courage.
It was a pity though...
"Clang!"
As he lunged forward with his blade, Ben immediately met him with his tail.
Sparks flew instantly!
Ben's tough and sharp exoskeleton, combined with his immense strength, instantly severed Kraven's dagger, which he had used for many years!
Seeing this, disbelief flashed across Kraven's face.
"This, this is impossible..."
He knew that his dagger contained trace amounts of Vibranium. Although it was as little as powder, it made the dagger indestructible.
But now, it had been cut off by the opponent!
However, he didn't have time to lament, because Ben didn't stop after launching his attack.
He continued to pounce!
Stinkfly had ten limbs. Four of them grew from its back, forming its semi-transparent wings, and four were abdominal legs resembling sharp spikes.
As for his hands, they were terrifying claws!
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Ben's claws slashed across Kraven's chest, injuring the burly hunter.
A massive wound, like a rift valley, opened on Kraven's chest, and blood gushed out.
But he wasn't immediately incapacitated.
In a moment of desperation, he had hastily retreated, narrowly avoiding being disemboweled.
At this moment, the intense pain made him grit his teeth, and sweat soaked his hair. Kraven was a far cry from the confident swagger he'd had just half an hour ago.
He must have never imagined becoming such a stray dog when he arrogantly attacked the Daily Bugle and Midtown High School.
"The lion has become a hyena."
Ben's cold, mocking voice echoed.
The reason he wasn't in a hurry to kill Kraven was that in an old Spider-Man animation he'd watched in his past life, Kraven had helped Peter once.
However, he also knew.
The two situations couldn't be compared. Since the current Kraven had thought of kidnapping Peter to deal with Spider-Man, he might not hesitate to kidnap others to threaten him in the future.
And the second reason was, naturally, for Vibranium.
Kraven's power originated from Wakanda, though he hadn't obtained it through legitimate means.
His dagger was also made of a very special material.
Ben had felt it the moment they clashed earlier.
Ordinary metal was like paper in front of his tail; it was torn apart with a mere touch. But when Kraven's dagger struck his, although it broke instantly, Ben had indeed felt the sensation of metal.
Vibranium was very valuable on the market. However, more important than its price was the fact that it couldn't be bought even with money.
Wakanda was still strictly limiting the outflow of Vibranium.
Not only did they not export Vibranium, but they also kept it locked away as a state secret, with only a select few being able to bring small amounts of Vibranium out of Wakanda.
"If you're willing to get me some Vibranium, Kraven, I can spare your life."
Ben rubbed his hands together like a fly, adding slyly, "Of course, it would be even better if you could get the Heart-Shaped Herb."
"You know about Wakanda?"
Kraven lay on the ground, dizzy and pale from the heavy blood loss.
But his consciousness was still clear.
To prevent him from dying immediately, Ben had smeared his wound with slime.
Kraven's expression changed.
"Don't worry, it might look disgusting, but it's actually sterile," Ben slowly descended, enveloping Kraven like a Venus flytrap.
At the same time, his tail coiled up, pressing against Kraven's heart like a scorpion's.
"Let's see your choice, hunter."
Ben didn't harbor much ill will towards Wakanda.
However, this goodwill stemmed from the actor playing Black Panther's composure in the face of death, not from Black Panther himself.
He remembered that Killmonger, after seizing power and obtaining superpowers through a ritual, had burned the Heart-Shaped Herb. Such an act made Ben feel a sense of pity.
This special herb, which could grant superpowers after a ritual, was, in Ben's opinion, of great research value.
Hearing his words, Kraven, though surprised, didn't find it too strange.
Paying money to save one's life was common.
But he still shook his head.
"I can't bring you these things."
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't.
His Vibranium and superpowers originated from Aja Olisa, who had been exiled from Wakanda, and the two of them had already gone their separate ways.
He couldn't obtain the herb and Vibranium on his own.
"That's a pity."
"After being a hunter for so long, you must be curious about what prey thinks when it dies, right?"
Since he couldn't get what he wanted.
Ben no longer held back. His tail pierced into Kraven's chest.
"Wait, Benny!"
Peter, who was entangled with Rhino, saw this and quickly shouted, wanting Ben to stop.
However, the spike-like tail still pierced Kraven's chest, lifting the man who prided himself on hunting prey, like prey itself.
Seeing this.
Peter forgot to hold back and kicked Rhino straight into the wall.
But he didn't have time to worry about Rhino.
He leaped forward, landing in front of Ben, and looked at Kraven's corpse with shock and helplessness.
"You, how did you kill him?"
Peter, who had never witnessed death before, trembled slightly.
He looked at Ben, his cousin who had grown up with him, who seemed like a stranger at this moment.
It wasn't just his appearance.
"Because he's a villain," Ben said.
"Why are you so surprised? I've already killed Animo and Green Goblin. Otherwise, how do you think he died?"
"Sudden heart attack?"
Ben scoffed.
But Peter wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"We could have found other ways to stop them from doing evil."
"I chose the simplest way," Ben interrupted, his four tentacles turning towards Peter. He said coldly, "Peter, they are adults and should be responsible for their actions."
"If you choose to be a villain, don't expect a good end."
Peter still found it hard to accept.
Fortunately, Ben never intended to convince him. After all, Peter was Peter.
Meanwhile.
Seeing Kraven's tragic death, Shocker was instantly terrified.
Damn it, this big bug actually kills people!
Even Kraven is dead, how could his ordinary human body withstand this?
These criminals, who didn't care about human lives when they killed, were suddenly filled with fear of death when they became the prey.
The remaining few exchanged glances, with only one thought flashing through their minds:
Run!
But how could Ben let them escape?
It wasn't just Ben; Harry also had no intention of letting these guys who tried to harm his friend get away!
In an instant, several streams of slime shot out from Ben's tentacles, hitting the remaining three from dozens of meters away and firmly immobilizing them.
At the same time, Harry, holding a pumpkin bomb in each hand, threw them towards Shocker and Bullseye.
BOOM!!!
Like dry wood and raging fire, the bombs and slime instantly detonated!
