Chapter 1100: The Tragic Ambusher
After carrying the Spider Egg, Ling Mo and his group indeed found their actions becoming much smoother.
Whenever those Spiders sensed them from afar, they would immediately scurry back into the depths of their webs without looking back. Witnessing this, Ling Mo couldnāt help but grow a little curious about those so-called āforbidden zones.ā
āConsidering that weāll have to stay here for a while, and that our people will come later to collect the provisionsā¦ I think we should go check out that Spiderās lair. For example, its breeding roomā¦ā While observing everyoneās reactions, Ling Mo proposed in a low voice.
Except for Mu Chen, whose face immediately turned quite unpleasant, the rest exchanged silent glances and agreed.
āSince weāre already hereā¦ thereās no reason not to raid its old nestā¦ā Ye Kai said seriously.
Mu Chen reminded them gravely, āJudging by the situation, what we can haul out of there will probably all be eggsā¦ā
But before he could finish speaking, the group had already set off.
The warehouses here had all been dug through; most still retained their original structural bodies, but some were now underground. Not long after leaving the womenās room, Ling Mo found a very suspicious large hole.
Black Silk wobbled her way inside, and soon poked her head out to say, āItās open through here!ā The group fell silent for a moment. Who knew what the Spider Men were hiding undergroundā¦ Fortunately, they wouldnāt get bitten, nor did they have to worry in the darknessā¦ And as Ye Lian and the others crawled in one after another, everyoneās last bit of hesitation faded away. Only Mu Chen was still muttering at the back, āAre you guys really going overboard? Isnāt there still a Zombie watching us? We might be walking right into its mouthā¦ā
āDidnāt that woman say so? The Zombie must have a motive. So we canāt just sit and wait. We have to strike first. Besides, if that Zombie shows up, weāll know,ā Xu Shuhan called out from ahead.
āThatās right. I donāt know what it wants, but as long as we know what itās doing here, things will be much easier for us,ā Ling Mo added. He hung the Flashlight on his head using a Tentacle, letting its beam move forward as he advanced.
āLook, these passages are clearly used often. Both sides are smooth, and thereās no dust on the floor. Judging by the height, itās obviously made for that big Spider. Ordinary humans wouldnāt need something this tallā¦ā Xia Na looked around in front, reporting her findings. āWe already know it likes burrowing,ā Ling Mo replied.
āThatās not what I meanā¦ā Xia Naās tone suddenly grew mysterious. āIf these passages are just to let them crawl underground and move quickly between warehouses, then whatās the point of this passage that goes who-knows-where?ā
As another beam of light swept past, Ling Mo and the others immediately saw a new branch in the tunnelā¦ Just as Xia Na said, one glance at this tunnel entrance and you knew something was offā¦
Because all the other passages sloped upwards to connect to the warehouses. But this tunnel entrance was sloping downwardsā¦
An abnormal, yet clearly well-used passageā¦
āLetās go down and have a look.ā Ling Mo made the decision without hesitation.
āHey, hey. Iām saying, shouldnāt you at least think a little more about obviously dangerous places like thisā¦ā Mu Chen grumbled, but seeing everyone else enter the tunnel, he immediately hunched his neck, glanced around suspiciously, and hurried in after them.
Yet, just before entering, Mu Chen had a strange feeling.
In the darkness, it was as if something shot him a glance. But as his heart skipped a beat and he tried to look closely, there was nothing thereā¦
āA Spider?ā Mu Chen frowned, thinking.
The downward passage was indeed hard to walk, and the further they went, the steeper it became. Considering this place was dug by a Spider, no one was in the mood to complain; they simply tried to keep their balance and move downward as quickly as possible. į¹ĆĪā ąøæÄį¹¤
Ye Lian and the others, however, were completely unaffected, and as they moved, the distance between them and Ling Moās group grew wider and widerā¦
Ling Mo simply switched his vision over, and while using the Red Glimmer to easily observe the surroundings, heād occasionally āglance downā at his own collar, and sometimes focus on someone elseās collarā¦
āWhy do I feel like Xia Na peeks at Ye Lian and Senior Sister even more often than I doā¦ Wait, sheās even peeking at that fool Yu Shiran? Although, to be fair, that foolās chest has evolved to an age-defyingly impressive size, but whatās with this shameless peepingā¦ What are you after, reallyā¦ā
Standing in Xia Naās perspective, Ling Mo muttered to himself for a while, and then simply switched to Senior Sisterās vision. But this time, he frozeā¦
āHuh? Why does Senior Sister keep looking backā¦ No, wait, youāre just outright looking backwards! Arenāt you supposed to be leading the way? And what are you looking at! Thatāsā¦ black pantsā¦ beltā¦ zipperā¦ Damn! Arenāt you looking at me! Why am I using your eyes to spy on myself?!ā
āCanāt you all be a bit more reliableā¦ Black Silk is too short, and that fool is always tugging at her own collar, making me feel like some sort of pervertā¦ Guess itās best to use the girlā¦ā
But the moment Ling Mo switched his perspective to Ye Lian, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
A shriveled face suddenly appeared in the darkness!
It took a full tenth of a second for Ling Mo to react. Only then did he realize-it wasnāt just a face, it was a personā¦ alive!
He had originally been hanging from above, but when Ye Lian and the others approached, he suddenly dropped down, landing right in front of Ye Lian, face-to-face.
Aside from his shriveled skin, this man had bulging eyes. His skin was deathly pale, covered in a layer of hard black hair, and his teeth were long, with obvious wear marks. Combined with the dirt under his fingernails, it wasnāt hard to imagine how heād fixed himself above. Moreover, his eyes gleamed fiercely, filled with cruelty.
But judging from the color of his eyes, he hadnāt fully mutated. Even in this environment, he still retained some degree of free movementā¦ For example, he didnāt fall because the Iron Chain snapped-he jumped down himself to launch an ambushā¦
If it had been a normal human girl, his sudden leap wouldāve left her no time to react. Even if she could keep calm, there would at least be a brief moment of stiffness. Unfortunately, he was facing a Zombieā¦
The moment he appeared, Ye Lianās curiosity was already satisfied. As he lunged with his mouth wide open, this Female Zombie, with lightning speed, nonchalantly reached out her handā¦
āClack clack clackā¦ā
The moment this āmanā opened his mouth, it opened all the way. His legs kicked wildly, his hands desperately flailed at the Iron Chain, scratching and clawing at the air. But the moment Ye Lian grabbed him, his strength began to drain rapidly, and his struggles only grew weaker and weaker. Escaping Ye Lian was simply impossibleā¦
In fact, as long as Ye Lian exerted even a little force, this āmanāsā neck would be completely crushedā¦
While holding his neck, Ye Lian turned back in confusion and said, āLing-Geā¦ look what I caughtā¦ā
āI already sawā¦ā Ling Mo silently raised his hand and rubbed his foreheadā¦
Sheād nabbed a tragic Ambusher, instantly killed the moment he showed upā¦
āWhat is this thing?ā
By the time Ling Mo and the others gathered round, Ye Lian had already tossed the guy on the ground, and Xia Na and the others had finished their initial inspection.
āHuman? Zombie? Or Spider Man? Hellforged Monster?ā Li Yalin rattled off four possibilities in one breath, then looked at Ling Mo expectantly.
Ling Mo reached out and patted her head, then crouched down for a closer look and said, āI donāt think itās any of those. In fact, weāve seen something like this beforeā¦ā
