"There's another exit. Just keep going south, that's the way."

"oh."

Zuo Qingya turned around and wanted to walk south, but when she turned her head, she realized she was going the wrong way and didn't even know it.

"???"

"How did she go the wrong way? Is south the correct direction?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? How would I know?"

"But that's not south."

"You don't care if she is or not, just make sure she doesn't get in here."

"That makes sense."

"But the direction she went was even more dangerous."

Which way did she go?

"She was heading in the direction of the Bloodweb Spider."

Zuo Qingya kept walking forward, but the road ahead became increasingly red. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the trees were covered with nets, which looked a bit like spider webs, but were extremely dense.

"These spider webs look quite amazing; they're all red. It's the first time I've ever seen them like this."

These red spider webs didn't smell bloody as expected, but rather had a faint, pleasant fragrance—a mesmerizing scent. Zuo Qingya blocked out her sense of smell and continued walking.

The further you go in, the more red the entire forest becomes, with countless tiny red spiders swarming on the spiderwebs.

The spiders were still diligently weaving their webs.

Zuo Qingya came to a tree and carefully examined the spider webs. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the spider webs looked a bit like fabric because they were so dense. The spider webs were layered together, making them look very much like fabric.

Zuo Qingya reached out and touched it; it was quite smooth.

Just then, a huge spider walked over.

He stared at Zuo Qingya with a curious look in his spider eyes, as if asking what this thing was.

The bloodweb spider stretched out its forelegs toward Zuo Qiya.

Zuo Qingya thought the Bloodweb Spider was going to attack her, so she simply waved her hand and swatted the Bloodweb Spider aside.

The bloodweb spider stared blankly at its front legs, then burst into tears, its cries sounding somewhat like a child's, as it cried out, "I want to find my mother."

This scene completely stunned Zuo Qingya. What exactly happened?

Just then, a spider several times larger than the bloodweb spider from before walked over. It was very imposing; it was really big, even bigger than those trees.

Zuo Qingya was truly tiny, because the spider was so big that it could only look at her with cross-eyed eyes.

Zuo Qingya felt that the spider was focusing to see itself clearly.

"Did you hit my son?"

Is this a conversation with myself? I admit I hit it, so I should acknowledge it.

Zuo Qingya nodded. "Yes, I hit him. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say, well done."

"???"

"This little brat needs a good spanking to learn his lesson. He can't just touch everything. What's with all this curiosity?"

"??? Don't you want revenge?"

"Revenge? What revenge? What revenge? You did a great job. We didn't even want to hit it. You, an outsider, helped me fight it. I'm so grateful to you."

"???" Zuo Qingya was completely confused.

"Come, come, outsider, please follow me. I want to repay you properly."

"???"

The little bloodweb spider protested, "Dad, she hit me! Why did you invite her to our house as a guest?"

"You little brat, I've been wanting to hit you, but I just can't bring myself to do it. With this outsider here, it's perfect. He can help me beat you up and teach you a lesson. Stop calling for your dad and mom every time something happens. You're really something."

"But Dad, aren't you afraid he's a bad person?"

"What's there to be afraid of? She's so tiny, how powerful can she be? If she dares to do anything reckless, we'll just overwhelm her with our presence."

"???" Zuo Qingya wanted to say that she was actually very capable.

The further you go in, the more evenly distributed the spider webs become; they actually look quite nice.

"Isn't it beautiful? My wife arranged this." He thought to himself, "Finally, an outsider has come in. Look at all this decorations, I'll praise my wife a lot, and she'll definitely be happy. If she's happy, she'll definitely agree to let me have another brood of little spiders. Just thinking about it makes me so happy."

The giant blood spider gradually shrank until it transformed into a man dressed in red.

The little bloodweb spider was no exception; it slowly shrank, becoming a tiny baby about two years old.

As the giant bloodweb spider approached the cave, its eyes lit up, and it quickly ran over.

Zuo Qingya looked in the direction the giant blood spider had run and saw a woman dressed in red standing outside the cave. The woman was extremely beautiful and alluring.

Zuo Qingya felt she could look at her a few more times; she was truly stunning.

"Honey, I've only been away from you for a few minutes, and I already miss you."

The woman pushed the man away, her eyes bright, and looked at Zuo Qingya.

"Welcome, welcome! It's been a long time since we've had any outsiders visiting."

"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly."

Zuo Qingya hesitated. These two people were really strange, and their enthusiasm was inexplicable. Zuo Qingya wondered if there was something fishy going on. She decided to wait and see.

Seeing that Zuo Qingya was still standing there, the woman walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and pulled her directly into her cave.

Looking at the decorations inside, Zuo Qingya felt her worldview crumbling. Although everything inside was red, it was similar to modern decorations, except that it lacked electronic products.

Zuo Qingya looked at the woman holding her hand and muttered to herself, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger."

The woman reacted quickly, saying directly, "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."

The woman excitedly reached out and grasped Zuo Qingya's hand. "Hello, comrade. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ruan Yunting. What's your name, comrade?"

"Hello, hello, my name is Zuo Qingya, nice to meet you."

Zuo Qingya learned from Ruan Yunting's words that Ruan Yunting must have come from the Republican era.

Ruan Yunting hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Just say what you have to say."

"Have we won?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qingya almost burst into tears. She nodded and said, "Yes, we've won. Our country is safe and sound."

Upon hearing Zuo Qingya's words, Ruan Yunting's tears streamed down her face.

"That's good, that's good. I was a dying man with only one breath left. I fell into this forest and was rescued by my husband, so I stayed here."

Zuo Qingya asked in confusion, "Haven't you thought about going back?"

"Yes, I want to, but can I go back like this?" she said, lifting her skirt.

Only then did Zuo Qingya notice that Ruan Yunting's skirt revealed spider legs.

Zuo Qingya hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Ruan Yunting waved her hand, "It's okay, can you tell me about the current situation?"

"this……"

Is there anything difficult about it?

Zuo Qingya shook her head. "No, but I came from a later era. That period of history is more than 200 years in the past, so I don't know the specifics. But I have a documentary, which you can watch."
