Chapter 142

"What kind of monsters are here?" the little spider murmured, looking around.

It was strange that he said that, because even here, these monsters might not be any stranger than him.

The one that seemed to be trying to prey on them was actually attempting to threaten them out of fear of the little spiders. However, before it could even get up, it was ambushed by another monster that was crouching around it.

Even so, they remained a certain distance away from the little spider, as if there was something extraordinary there that they couldn't easily approach.

“They all seem to be afraid of you,” Xiaobai said, this time seemingly a double entendre.

The little spider didn't answer; after all, it seemed to be true. These monsters stayed here, their bodies covered in unrecognizable, disgusting organs.

It seems like an ordinary person has fallen into the abode of a demon, but because it is a demon king from another place who has fallen in, the local minions dare not come over.

In short, regardless of the circumstances, they have now arrived at a rather strange place. Finding a way out will obviously take some time.

Perhaps we should first consider how to get out of here.

The little spider looked at the little white creature in front of it, who had already sat up on the web.

After calming down, Xiaobai realized that the spider web was only used to cushion the pressure of falling. Its purpose was not to restrain him; now he could simply sit up without worrying about the web holding him in place.

"How much magic do you have left?" Little White asked, looking at the little spider in front of him. "I want to know if I actually caused any damage to you just now."

"I only had 50% of my magic left at the time, and the battle with you cost me more than 10%, so now I only have about 30 left." The little spider hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, this consumption is a bit too much for me. I don't know how I can recover now."

As he spoke, he swung the scythe around in his hand and threw it, slicing a monster that tried to harm them in half before it could pose any danger.

"Impressive." Little White watched as the little spider pulled the creature's body towards him: "Are you going to eat it?"

“I don’t like eating these monsters. I wanted to know if there were any magic cores inside.” The little spider paused and said, “But the result disappointed me. There really weren’t any. Unless something unexpected happens, the monsters here don’t even have magic cores. And this place is not in contact with the outside world. If I want to absorb magic power in a place like this, I can only look at these black muds on the ground.”

As it said this, its spider legs plunged into the black mud behind it, and then it sighed.

“Indeed, but it’s very murky,” the little spider said. “It’s mixed with a lot of holy magic, and many things in it are harmful to me.”

As he said this, he took out a little black mud and demonstrated it in front of Xiaobai. After a simple separation, the real black mud fell down, and the magic and holy power inside were separated and floated in front of him.

"That's quite an impressive ability." Xiaobai probably didn't know how to describe the guy in front of him. After fighting him for so long, he had only used up a little over one layer of magic power. If he were at full strength, Xiaobai might not have been able to fight him at all.

As Benny was right, the Chaos Calamity was a mistake in the world; they shouldn't have existed in the first place.

The spider's limbs spread out, and the spider webs that branched out around it fell to the ground and stuck to it. What originally looked like liquid ground became solid after being fixed in this way.

"Anyway, I'll start by spinning my cocoon." The little spider paused and said, "I don't have to worry about being seen here, so I can safely expand the area to speed up my recovery."

As he spoke, more spider silk sprayed in all directions, and the monsters scattered and fled.

Spider-Man temporarily suspended Deedley there; the guy was now covered in sturdy heavy armor and carrying two weapons. If he were to fall to the ground, it might cause the fragile ground to collapse.

Although I don't know whose bones they are, I'm so grateful that it died here.

When he looked at Xiaobai, she had already curled up into a ball, her fluffy tail protecting her. In the pitch-black environment, her whole body actually emitted a white fluorescent light.

He could see the magic converging towards Xiaobai, and he probably knew that she was recovering.

After all, a battle has just ended, and everyone needs to get some rest.

But the question remained: where exactly was this place? The little spider looked up at the sky and suddenly felt something was off.

This place doesn't seem to be naturally formed. Although there are often such spatial gaps that can be entered by breaking through spatial walls, even before one becomes a chaotic calamity, one can tear through space to create a small spatial pocket.

However, this place clearly doesn't seem to be a naturally formed area. There are boundary markers here, and not far away, several stones radiating energy are scattered around, suggesting that that area should be the boundary of this place.

"We're pretty close to the edge," the little spider thought, "maybe I should consider what's deeper inside."

The enormous roar echoed throughout the space. The little spider paused, then looked into the darkness in the distance.

There seems to be some kind of monster inside, an extraordinary monster.

Someone created a space in the city and started raising monsters?

As the little spider was thinking this, it suddenly felt something strange around it. It turned its head and found a fluffy ball of fur that had appeared in front of it.

Its appearance was strange. Although everyone was resting, Deedley could actually detect subtle sounds, Spider-Man could detect magic, and Little White could sense his surroundings intuitively. These three were practically immune to any sensory gaps when they went out; it was impossible for an enemy to be within this range.

Just as the little spider was about to try to say something to this guy, a crack suddenly appeared in the furry area.

Then it opened its enormous eyes, truly enormous eyes, which now looked like floating eyes with fine hairs growing on the skin covering them.

The little spider stared at it, and after a few seconds, it slowly transformed into the shape of a little spider.

"A monster that can transform?" Diedley opened his eyes and looked at the floating thing. "That's rare. I haven't seen anything like this in a long time."

"I've rarely seen such large monsters from outside," the creature said, looking at the little spider. "It's been a very, very long time since a monster as large as you has come here."

"Please look in the mirror before you call someone a monster, okay?" The little spider's face twitched, but it still smiled helplessly.

It really couldn't refute it.

......

Now in the market, the high priest looked at the guy sitting there as if nothing had happened, puzzled.

"Aren't you going to kill them to silence them?" The high priest paused. "Although the Sun Wheel is watching over me now, I am a sinner. Those guys don't know what I said, and they'll probably be killed for provoking you."

“I just let go of my murderous intent. If I wanted to die, there are obviously better candidates. Don’t come looking for me.” Benny seemed a little agitated. “Speaking of which, your frankness makes me really wonder what you’re here for.”

"It's a threat, I suppose, since I know that kind of information."

“It doesn’t matter if you just know, according to you, another saint knows too. The Benevolent One? My only impression of her is that she could brew a very good pot of tea and make some desserts herself.” Benny thought for a moment: “Her domain covers the entire city, so in our city, any disease or wound will be healed instantly. It’s a healing speed that’s almost like time reversal. I’ve experienced it a few times and the memory is still fresh.”

"It was like a sudden pause, and by the time you came to your senses, you were already safe and sound."

"It seems you've also tried her treatment."

"I was saved by that person, so of course I know. To be able to instantly heal someone like me who was practically reduced to just a head, I didn't believe in miracles at first. It wasn't until I saw that person that I dared to confirm just how crazy this world really is."

“That’s because it’s a crazy place. Miracles happen, and our abilities all stem from miracles.” Benny paused and said, “Besides, even if that guy is a demon, I’m here now. As long as I’m here, no matter what it is, it can’t do anything reckless. That’s why the Church sent me here.”

Yak glanced at Benny, then shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

"Now it's clear that you must hurry to the place where there are demons." The high priest seemed completely unconcerned about where these people were going or what kind of danger that demon god would bring to the world: "You'd better hurry and leave before dawn. Even if you have to delay, don't stay for more than three days. The demons should be happy, since this way they will once again have the means to fight the church."

“There’s no such thing as capital; the church just wants an excuse to completely cripple the monsters’ fighting power.” Benny frowned. “But because of the contract, it’s not easy to initiate war. The monsters should be thankful that there are some inflexible people in the church. Every year there are applications for a war against the Land of the Dead, but every year they are rejected.”

"May I ask who proposed these ideas, and who opposed them?"

"The proposals from those below, the suggestions from those guys, will be compiled and then handed over to us."

"So you refused?"

"All five of us are against it; we have no other opinions."

"Haha, it seems you don't even have a good relationship with your own people."

"It's wrong of those below to make such difficult suggestions when they don't even understand the big picture."

Ark couldn't get a word in edgewise on this topic. It was a conversation between saints and saints. As a monster, he should probably be a little more concerned about being wiped out one day.

This guy really is one of God's chosen ones—rigid and methodical in everything he does. It's like he's missing a screw in his head. Even when he wants to do bad things, he'll shamelessly lay out his schemes and plots. It's as if this is a right bestowed upon him by God, something he doesn't need to worry about at all.

He did commit a crime, but he had to do it anyway, and then accept the punishment openly and honestly. He would accept whatever punishment came his way, without even considering the possibility of escaping it.

Such rigidity is actually quite refreshing.

"But speaking of which," the High Priest said, looking at Ark over there, "you're quite strange too. What? Are you also a demon race?"

"He's just a thief who stole the magic seal." Ark wasn't inclined to hide anything in front of this kind of person, and spoke frankly. He didn't care what kind of trouble such honesty might bring him.

"Is that so? Then you'd better protect your magic seal well." The high priest chuckled. "Otherwise, it might be stolen one day."

There was an awkward moment. Yak glanced at him, then sighed and said softly.

“Thank you very much for reminding me.” He scratched his head. “I was indeed very worried about this issue.”

As night fell, the chaotic elements outside gradually calmed down. It seemed like a sleepless night, with many things lurking in the darkness.

“I have a question,” Yak said, looking at him. “Why is the city’s space connected to an empty space that hasn’t been developed yet?”

Just like Xiaobai, Ark could also sense the adjacent space. The spatial barrier between the two was not sturdy and could be easily breached. Generally, such places would be opened up and utilized; if stable, the extra space could be used for many things. In this world where land is extremely precious, an extra piece of space is practically priceless.

"Why do you think I haven't developed it?" The high priest looked a little strange. "I thought you had discovered it."

It then started drinking the broth. The broth was clearly a pot of soup that could be simmered for many pots, so everyone drank bowl after bowl and still hadn't finished it.

Yak paused, scratched his head, and looked a little conflicted.

“Your Excellency, are you aware of what you are doing?” Ark said, almost in a low voice, “This is absolutely wrong. You could be executed for it.”

“Execution is fine too. Not many people care about their lives these days. After all, living in hell, I guess dying will feel like going home. It’s not bad to think about what you’ve done in the endless sea of ​​sulfur and fire.”
