Chapter 140

"Quick, put it on!" The little spider covered its eyes with its hands. "You should do this yourself!"

"Ha." Deedrey was actually quite pleased to see the little spider so flustered.

Talking seriously to this guy is definitely a depressing thing. There are some things I can't think about too much, and I dare not think about them too much.

It's a good idea to use simple entertainment to keep yourself in a relatively relaxed state of mind.

She sat down right next to the little spider and lit a candle on the table.

Suddenly, a light appeared in the previously dark room, though it was just a faintly burning candle, and the visibility was limited to only a small area illuminated by it.

Deedris placed her hand over the flame, and the flame touched her fingers without harming her. After a while, she removed her fingers, and the flame that had been burning on her fingers burned again. Then she blew out the candle and looked at the flame she was holding in her hand.

The little spider subconsciously stared at the ball of firelight. Unlike a campfire, which could be blinding if stared at for too long, it was a very soft light. It shone on Deedri, giving her fair skin a touch of red.

Deedris looks absolutely stunning like this. Normally, she uses loose clothing and scarves that bury half her head to avoid appearing so mesmerizing.

Deedley turned to look at Spider-Man, and their eyes met. Spider-Man paused for a few seconds before realizing that his attention was on something strange, but he couldn't explain it, so he looked away and scratched his face in embarrassment.

“I’ve made it so clear,” Dedeline said helplessly, resting her head on her hand. “What’s wrong? You don’t seem like the kind of guy who doesn’t like women.”

"Why do you do this?" The little spider buried its head in its arms. "I don't understand."

"It's the same reason as before. I've taken too much from you and hurt you. So I don't know how I can repay you." Deedri scratched her head. "Well... if it's you, I don't mind. I still care about looks, and at least you look like you fit my standard of a handsome guy."

She patted Chrisson on the shoulder and laughed, "What, you're not happy? Well, this is my first time doing this. So, I learned how to seduce people from a girl in my old team, but I didn't do it well, so it looked clumsy."

“I feel…not clumsy anymore.” Krissen was about to say something, then paused.

In an instant, the atmosphere vanished. Deedri jumped back, grabbed her clothes from the bed, and put them on.

"What is that aura?" She picked up the scythe from the wall and looked at Chrison.

"I don't know, the atmosphere over there is very chaotic, extremely chaotic." Krissen's forehead was beaded with sweat. "It seems to be the Ark side."

Just now, an indescribable unease flashed through their hearts. As the candle went out, they returned to reality in this relatively safe little environment.

"At least we can be sure it's something that has nothing to do with us." Dedeline sighed helplessly. "Honestly, they don't even give us a break. Reality really doesn't give people a chance to breathe."

Suddenly she felt a tightness around her waist. She was startled, then realized that the little spider had picked her up.

The window was opened, and the room was instantly empty.

The feeling of emptiness beneath her feet lasted for a moment as she watched the spider's legs flash and rapidly ascend as it climbed the tall building.

Finally, it landed at the highest point in the entire city.

“People who feel uneasy always go to high places,” the little spider explained. “I feel very uneasy, so I want to find a better place to observe.”

"This isn't a place a normal person can stand." Dedeline waited for Spider-Man to put her on the ground. When she was sitting, Spider-Man was already a little taller than her, and now he was more than half a head taller.

Then she realized that the first sentence wasn't meant for her.

The white hair and tail fluttered gently in the breeze, the white ribbons dancing in the air. Silently.

The little spider casually grabbed at something, then tossed the arrowhead back into its hand.

"We just want to figure out what happened." Spider-Man raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

“But your aura makes me very uneasy.” Xiao Bai looked at him and said, “I don’t remember anywhere in this city where there is a Chaos Calamity.”

She gripped her longbow, looked at the little spider, and said, "Did you do that?"

"I still don't know what happened." The little spider looked over there and froze.

I initially thought that with elements in such a chaotic state, the place would probably be ruins. But now it looks perfectly fine, just like daytime, only a bit too dark.

But that very place has now become the focus of the entire city. Anyone who can sense even a little bit of magic or holy power can feel that something is very wrong.

This feeling is like knowing there's a huge explosion outside, but when you go outside, you find nothing there—it just feels a little strange.

The little spider instinctively stepped aside, and a white arrow pierced its arm. This thing was even faster than before; it had only circled slightly, but its speed seemed to be several times the speed of sound.

"You look very strong." Little White was slightly surprised as he watched the little spider remove the arrow from his body.

After all, although this thing wasn't shot from a divine bow, it was still something that he had condensed with his own magic power, and theoretically, it was capable of penetrating armor.

But it only entered the guy's body.

The little spider pulled it out and threw it out again.

"Don't try to test us like that." It scratched its head. "We have no grudges against each other, there's no need for a fight."

"It would be a bit of a shame to be in a place like this and not start a fight." Xiaobai seemed to have no intention of letting the matter rest.

Dedeline slung the sickle over her shoulder and looked helplessly at the little white creature standing in front of her.

This guy does seem to be an unreasonable one; right now, he's completely talking about his own business and doesn't seem to care about their motives.

"Are you here on orders?" Dedeline asked, but the little white creature in front of her didn't reply.

The little spider suddenly turned around and pounced on Deedri, throwing his short scythe into the air where it collided with an arrowhead.

This time it was no longer silent, but rather a powerful and overwhelming force. It was clearly just a single arrow, yet it seemed to bring down a vast ocean of stardust.

The creature in front of them moved, this time not using ranged attacks, but drawing its own short swords. With two short swords in hand, it instantly lunged at the little spider.

However, it was blocked by the short sickle in his other hand, and at the same time, the short sickle that was thrown away was pulled and cut the beautiful girl from behind.

But there was nothing there; it was as if the thing hadn't cut anything at all. He simply watched her vanish before his eyes.

"He's a troublesome fellow," the little spider whispered. "Little lamb, be careful."

"lamb?"

"No, no, no, I'm sorry, don't mind what I just said." The little spider froze as soon as he said it. He had only used the nickname "little sheep" to prevent himself from making a mistake when he was trying to remember her. But he had unconsciously called it out just now.

"It's alright, it's a very nice name." Dedeline sighed and touched her ram horns. "You've been protecting me ever since this started. Am I really that weak?"

“This guy’s abilities are very strange.” Spider-Man didn’t say anything else, but patted her on the shoulder, gesturing for her to stand up and take a look.

After standing up, Deedri gasped at the sight before her.

Those were countless white shadows, each one exactly the same as the ones we had just seen, carrying longbows and short swords, watching them from afar on the high platform.

The creature that the snake had just attacked was completely still in mid-air. It was entirely frozen in place, with only its hair and clothes swaying in the wind.

"With the protection of the wind?" Deedri snorted, then took a powerful stomp. The force of the impact shook the building beneath her feet, and she, like a charging goat, launched an attack on the person in mid-air.

The distance of about thirty meters was covered in an instant. Dedeline free-falls through the air, wondering if she had actually hit her target.

After all, the feeling of a sickle cutting through is no different from not cutting at all.

Just before landing, steam billowed from her entire body. She adjusted her position and stomped down hard. There were no extra techniques involved; she simply strengthened her leg bones and forcefully braced herself against the recoil from falling nearly a hundred meters.

She frowned as she looked at the phantoms around her drawing their bows toward her. She swung her scythe around her body a few times before plunging the large end into the ground.

At the same time, several arrows were shot from the bow, but were blocked by the red flames.

With the blessing of fire, as a member of the Fire Goat tribe, Deedri naturally has the ability to use fire to protect herself.

It has been confirmed that this arrow is just a magic arrow, pure magic, and poses no threat. As long as it is not a physical object, it will be blocked by the same magic barrier.

The three shadows were also cut down. After getting used to the scythe, Deedri found that it was indeed much more useful than her greatsword.

However, come to think of it, my armor seems to be placed not far away.

She looked at the little spider in the sky; the creature was now completely gone.

Never mind, someone this skilled will definitely be fine.

With that in mind, she left her spot, preparing to fully arm herself first.

On the rooftops, the eight-limbed monster swiftly traversed the city in an instant.

Those white guys didn't even have time to cause him any harm before they were pierced through; even if they did shoot out, they couldn't hurt him.

Finally, the little spider stopped at a key point in the road and looked around strangely.

This feeling was very bad; the fact that they still hadn't found the guy's true form was giving him a headache.

This shouldn't be happening; that guy must be incredibly powerful. These phantoms are probably projections created from his clones, each composed of only a tiny bit of magic.

Even with just a tiny amount of magic, each one can perform remarkably skillful movements. And judging from what we just saw, they can even speak.

This ability to control magic is extraordinary. However, even after using his senses to scan the entire city, he still couldn't find the possible true form.

It's possible that there's just too much interference in the city center.

The little spider's nose twitched, its back curled up, and all the muscles in its body tensed up in an instant.

I was careless; I got distracted while I was thinking. Suddenly, that guy's true form appeared less than a hundred meters away, and the bow was already drawn.

Although he didn't know what it was, just drawing the bow sent an indescribable aura of danger through him, making him tremble instinctively. He was likely locked on; there was no way he could escape this creature's attack.

Should he tough it out? That was the only solution the little spider could think of for the time being. But the moment he thought of it, his limbs and entire body began to turn white. His exoskeleton, which had sprung up from somewhere, protected his entire body, and by the time the thing hit him, it had already formed a hard white shell.

In the middle of the night, a ringing sound echoed throughout the city. It wasn't a deafening explosion, but the sound of a bell being rung.

Looking at that place again, all that remained was a white cocoon. There were holes in it, and the ground in front of it had been pierced by arrows.

It looked like a one-hit kill, but Xiaobai knew exactly what kind of monster it was.

"Tsk." Cold sweat beaded on Xiaobai's forehead as he looked at the little spider that had emerged from its shell. Strictly speaking, it was a little spider that had just come out.

In his final moments, he used his prosthetic limbs as the primary means of absorbing the damage, while most of them detached from the cocoon. The arrow had only pierced through the outer shell.

The two exchanged a glance, and Xiaobai felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. In a flash, he seemed to see a huge black spider shadow flicker in front of him.

Okay, it's been marked.

She leaped into the air, and dozens of her shadows emerged from the ground.

However, instead of fleeing in different directions, they all launched an attack on the enemy behind them.

There's no point in hiding now; that guy already marked Little White with his magic when their eyes met. The entire city is no longer a barrier for her. The roles of hunter and beast have reversed; the initiative has shifted. It's her turn to look for an opportunity while on the run.

Her head ached the whole time. She wanted to find a way to remove the mark, but the guy's magic was stuck to her body. If it weren't for the fact that her senses had been specially enhanced, she wouldn't have been able to feel the tiny, rice-grain-sized sensory stain on her wrist.

But no matter what, that thing, the size of a grain of rice, would never lose track of him.
