“Tsss...” The scalp-numbing sound of excreting saliva resounded.
He could barely make out a great amount of densely packed small eyes — numerous like stars in the vast sky — incessantly approaching him from inside the pitch-black darkness.
He could sense a blood-chilling, gloomy feeling gradually approaching him.
He wasn’t sure what the creature’s intentions were. However, from the intention glittering in its numerous small, glowy-red eyes, friendliness or goodwill was definitely out of the question.
Rather, it was like a predator drawing close to its prey, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
“Ka, ka, ka...” The monster’s intention to attack couldn’t be more obvious from the sound its limbs made against the ground.
Taking a slight step back, Ji Bai unsheathed his fang-shaped longsword and returned the monster’s intention with a chilly gaze radiating out his helmet.
“Hiss, siiiiii...” A sticky silk-like material wrapped itself around the blade.
Ji Bai narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he let go of his sword hilt and rolled to the side.
“Boom! Scree...” As if a massive pressure was pressing downwards, the spot where Ji Bai was a moment ago caved in, forming a large hole. A sound resembling massive pincer-like fangs piercing through soft tissue resounded.
Both sides were incessantly exhausting the energy and endurance of one another. Though, in this war of attrition, it was clear as daylight that Ji Bai’s fleshly body was inferior to that of the spider monster, whose tendons and bones seemed to be made up of metal.
“Get out of the way.” Suddenly, a cold and clear voice resounded.
His spirit weary and his strength exhausted, Ji Bai raised his head. He felt like countless wooden sticks were stirring his brain, causing his consciousness to turn dull.
Compared to the bizarre cries of monsters, words spoken by humans were still more pleasing to the ears.
A speck of flame incessantly increased in size in his vision as it approached from a distance.
Ji Bai threw himself to the side by flipping his body off the large spider’s back.
“Whoosh!” Intense light enveloped and covered the huge spider, its blazing aura directly assailing Ji Bai’s face.
“Tssss... Gigigi!!” Through the mournful shrieks, Ji Bai was able to clearly make out the appearance of this spider monster in the light of the scorching flames.
Its upper body was that of a woman, with a pair of large pincers extended out from the area where her ears were. It all, together with the spider threads inside its abdomen, was turned to ashes inside the raging fire.
This wasn’t the first time that Ji Bai had met such a creature.
“You understand human language? So, may I know who you are?” Ji Bai had the nagging feeling that he had already heard this cold tone somewhere before.
After the newly arrived blew out the remaining flames between his fingertips, everything returned to silence.
“Clack, clack...” An orderly series of footsteps resounded.
The other party, it seemed, was silently chanting something.
Ji Bai stood up without hurry. Making use of the light of the remaining flame, he kept a close eye at the silhouette that was coming this way.
