RPAGF Chapter 740 Giant Spider
Chapter 740 Giant Spider
Shining the flashlight beam on the ground, one could see a thin layer of dust with traces of footsteps.
Suddenly, the beam of his flashlight swept across an old-fashioned calendar hanging on the wall.
The date on the calendar stopped at a summer ten years ago, but what stood out most was a mark drawn in red pen.
"July 7th".
Chen Yile leaned in closer and took a look. He saw a line of scribbled words next to the date: "The Spider is Coming."
His pupils suddenly contracted. Although this sentence was short, it was full of strangeness.
He subconsciously looked around, trying to find more clues.
Just then, a slight rustling sound came from above my head.
Chen Yile looked up and found that the ceiling was covered with dense spider webs.
The spider webs appeared particularly clear in the light of the flashlight, as if a huge web was covering the entire corridor.
His throat suddenly felt dry. He knew he had to get out of this place as quickly as possible, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Suddenly, his flashlight flickered briefly before going out completely.
"Damn it!" he cursed, groping in his pockets for a spare battery.
Just then, he heard a voice.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
The sound was very light at first, but soon became clear. It was like the sound of some liquid dripping on the ground, but with a hint of metallic crispness.
Chen Yile's heartbeat almost stopped. He could feel his back soaked with cold sweat and his clothes sticking tightly to his skin.
He slowly turned his head. Although the flashlight was out of battery, he could still feel something watching him.
Chen Yile's heartbeat was roaring in his ears, and he could feel his back soaked with cold sweat.
The flashlight's beam had long since gone out, but he could still sense something watching him from the shadows.
"Tick, tick, tick..."
The voice became clearer and clearer, as if echoing in my ears.
Chen Yile's throat was dry and painful. He tried to swallow his saliva, but found that his mouth was already cracked.
Suddenly, his feet went weak.
"what!"
He looked down and found that he had stepped into a deep pit.
The pit was filled with rotting sawdust and garbage, emitting a pungent odor.
His right foot was completely stuck in it and couldn't be pulled out.
Just then, he heard a slight sound.
"Swish..."
The sound seemed to come from all directions, yet it seemed to be right next to my ear.
Chen Yile's pupils suddenly contracted, and he could feel his blood rushing wildly.
He slowly raised his head and saw the dense spider webs on the ceiling in the faint moonlight.
The spider webs glowed strangely in the moonlight, as if a huge web covered the entire corridor.
Suddenly, his flashlight flickered on.
"what!"
Chen Yile subconsciously took a step back and almost fell. Although the flashlight beam was weak, it illuminated the scene before him.
In front of him stood a giant spider.
Chen Yile's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to find any possible chance to escape.
The Hidden Spider was standing less than two meters away from him, its body slightly arched, with its eight slender legs tightly pressed together, as if ready to attack at any time.
"Tick."
The strange voice sounded again, but this time, Chen Yile finally heard the clue.
The sound came from the Shenyin Spider. There was a small depression on its abdomen, and a drop of sticky liquid would drip out every few seconds.
"Is that venom?" This thought flashed through Chen Yile's mind.
The eyes of the Shenyin Spider narrowed slightly, and the red light became deeper.
It slowly raised its front legs, as if to provoke Chen Yile. Chen Yile could feel that his palms were completely wet, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
Suddenly, the body of the Shenyin Spider suddenly pounced forward!
Chen Yile subconsciously stepped back, but his right foot was still stuck in the deep pit and he couldn't pull it out in time.
At the critical moment, he suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground.
The attack of the Hidden Spider grazed his ear, and the spider silk wrapped around his arm, leaving a burning sensation. Chen Yile ignored the pain and quickly rolled on the ground, trying to distance himself from the spider.
"Damn it!" He cursed and took out the multi-purpose knife he carried with him from his pocket.
This is the tool he usually uses to open boxes and take samples. Although it is not a weapon specifically designed to deal with spiders, it is better than nothing in a critical moment.
The Hidden Spider seemed unfazed by his actions. It slowly turned around, its eight legs slightly bent, as if waiting for the perfect moment to attack. Chen Yile could feel its gaze fixed on him, the oppressive feeling nearly swallowing him up.
Just then, his flashlight suddenly lit up.
"what!"
Chen Yile subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, but this moment of distraction gave the Shenyin Spider an opportunity to take advantage.
It pounced on his wrist, its sharp fangs almost biting his pulse.
At the critical moment, Chen Yile swung the multifunctional knife in his hand, and the blade cut through the air and chopped the spider's abdomen.
The Hidden Spider let out a low roar and its entire body suddenly retreated backwards.
A tiny wound appeared on its abdomen, and sticky liquid oozed out, forming a dark red stain on the ground.
Chen Yile took the opportunity to get up. He could feel his hands still shaking slightly.
He quickly took a few steps back until his back was against the wall.
"Is it over?" he whispered to himself.
The Hidden Spider didn't attack immediately, but instead slowly curled up into a ball. The lines on its back glowed strangely in the moonlight, as if some ancient symbol were pulsing.
Chen Yile's heartbeat still didn't calm down, but he knew now was not the time to relax. He had to find a way out as soon as possible and leave this dangerous place.
Just then, his flashlight suddenly went out completely.
Chen Yile stood stiffly in the darkness, the sour stench of rotting sawdust mixed with the sweet smell of blood, and the wound on his wrist where the spider silk had cut into it was burning with pain.
His back pressed against the damp brick wall, he could hear the sticky sound of joints rubbing against each other approaching.
After a few "clicks", a faint flame popped up from the lighter.
At the moment when the firelight flickered, Chen Yile saw insect shells scattered all over the ground, like cicadas that had been drained of their juice.
Where the ceiling was originally covered with cobwebs, dark brown scratches appeared.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all directions. Chen Yile's hand holding the lighter trembled violently, and when the sparks splashed onto the spider silk, a blue flame suddenly burst out.
The giant spider clinging to the corner of the wall retracted its legs, and the dark red lines on its abdomen flashed rapidly.
