Shen Qingzhu froze on the spot.
Um?
This mysterious creature can also transform into human form?
It can even talk?!
As expected of the "Sichuan" region! It is indeed incredibly ferocious!
Just as he reached out to snap his fingers, the boy lying on the silken bed suddenly transformed into a large, grayish-white spider. Its eight legs moved incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had slipped to the doorway of a ventilation shaft at the top of the warehouse.
"What a tragedy!!!!"
"It's you again! What did I do wrong? Why do you all want to kill me?!"
"Bad people! They're all bad people!!"
"Waaaaah... Can't I just run away?!"
The grayish-white spider ran and cried out, moving at an incredible speed. Before Shen Qingzhu could even snap his fingers, it was about to slip out of the ventilation shaft and into the outside world.
Shen Qingzhu was stunned. He had anticipated countless scenarios before coming, but he never expected that it would run away so decisively.
Are you the mystery, or am I?
Why does it make it seem like he is the villain...?
Shen Qingzhu quickly pressed the button on the walkie-talkie, "It's getting away! Detonate the bomb!!"
Boom—!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of directional explosive bombs installed on the outer wall of the warehouse exploded simultaneously. The entire warehouse was like a disposable paper cup stuffed with firecrackers, instantly torn to pieces by the terrifying impact and flames!
The blazing crimson flames, like a roaring dragon, erupted from the earth into the sky. The blinding light stained a patch of white clouds overhead red, the earth trembled, and a churning mushroom cloud rose slowly...
The other recruits who were lying in ambush around the warehouse witnessed the earth-shattering explosion and swallowed hard.
Amidst the burning flames, a spider, half charred and trailing a plume of black smoke, traced an arc through the air and slowly plummeted into the distance.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
"My butt's on fire! My butt's on fire!!"
"It hurts so much...!!!"
Screams echoed in the air. All the recruits noticed the spider's appearance, their eyes flashing with a sharp light, and they quickly ran towards the spot where it was about to fall!
At the same time, Shen Qingzhu emerged from the flames without a single burn mark on his body. He coughed twice and his gaze fell on the spider in the distance.
"Damn it! Why did it run away so easily? Did it already know there was an ambush nearby?"
As expected of the fierce and mysterious 'Sichuan' region!
He muttered something to himself, then started running with the others towards the spider.
Seeing the figure below sweeping towards it like a tidal wave, the spider child broke out in a cold sweat (though it didn't actually sweat). Its eight spider legs trembled with fright. Without a word, it spat out a strand of spider silk, which stuck to a building beside it. Using the momentum, it swung up again and drifted away into the distance...
Whoosh whoosh!!
The sharpshooters in the crowd fired simultaneously, and several bullets grazed Spider Child's body. It cried out in surprise, and its swinging body paused slightly. In that instant, three figures darted to its side like lightning!
Their forbidden zones are all related to speed, so catching up with Spider Child is not difficult if they go all out.
"Got you!!"
They drew their Star Blades from their waists and slashed at Spider Child's body with lightning speed. Spider Child cried out in alarm, and his scarlet compound eyes burst forth with light. Suddenly, the three of them groaned and fell straight down as if they had fainted.
The people below caught them just in time, shouting, "It's a mental attack! Be careful!"
Seizing the opportunity, the relentless pursuers unleashed their attacks, hurling flames, frost, gales, and projectiles at Spider Child in a deluge.
"What a tragedy!!!!"
"I want to go home, waaaaaah..."
When the spider child saw the scene behind it, it burst into tears. As it floated in the air, strands of spider silk shot out from its body and stuck to the buildings on both sides, instantly forming a huge spider web!
The spider silk, of unknown material, somehow managed to block all attacks and even obstructed the recruits' path. Fortunately, a recruit with fire abilities intervened immediately, scorching the silk for a full five seconds before it was barely melted.
Of course, the new recruits chasing Spider Child did not stop at this route. Shen Qingzhu had already set up ambushes on both flanks. They took a shortcut, bypassed the dense cluster of buildings, and came directly to Spider Child!
"Make way! Make way! Make way!!!"
Spider Child shouted a few times, and an invisible soul spider web shot out, instantly sticking to the souls of the first few recruits, forcibly pulling them out of their bodies, and weaving them into an invisible net in the air. When other recruits caught up and came into contact with this net, although their bodies passed through it, their souls were stuck to it and they instantly fainted.
As more and more recruits collapsed behind Spider Child, Shen Qingzhu frowned and immediately realized the existence of the large net. A black light flashed from the black ring on his fingertip, forming the shape of a knife.
[Soul-Severing Blade]!
Shen Qingzhu stomped his feet on the ground, and the Soul-Severing Blade cleaved through the void before him, instantly splitting the invisible spiderweb of souls. The numerous souls returned to their bodies, and the unconscious recruits slowly awoke.
At the same time, Spider-Child, who was still swinging in the air like Spider-Man, screamed and crashed heavily to the ground.
Unlike ordinary spider webs, the soul spider web is an extension of its own soul. If the spider web is damaged, it will suffer a backlash.
Shen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly and snapped his fingers towards the spot where the spider child had fallen.
Smack!
The air around the Spider Child was suddenly compressed, followed by a burst of sparks, and then the flames from the subsequent explosions engulfed its form once again.
That wasn't all. Immediately afterwards, a piece of chewing gum, inflated by the wind, floated above Spider Child and exploded with a bang. The rolling fire wave turned the nearby ground into a sea of fire.
"I don't want to die... I really don't want to die!"
The grayish-white spider staggered out of the flames and rapidly climbed the vertical wall. A series of explosions erupted behind it, but none of them harmed it again.
"Damn it, how come they're still alive? This is a bit too strong, isn't it?" Shen Qingzhu cursed, and gritted his teeth to chase after them.
What puzzled him was that this spider was ridiculously strong in terms of physical strength, mental attacks, tough spider silk, and magical soul web. If they were to fight such a powerful and mysterious creature head-on, they might not necessarily lose. Even if they did lose, they would make Shen Qingzhu and the others pay an extremely heavy price...
But why did it run away?
Spider-Child screamed as it leaped over building after building, carrying the relentlessly pursuing recruits across half of the training camp. Just as it floated up again beside a building, it suddenly froze in mid-air.
On the rooftop next to it, a young man who was meditating opened his eyes in confusion, his gaze meeting its and the young woman just curiously titled her head toward it...
