Chapter 168

This is a bit too strange, Dedeline thought, feeling somewhat troubled.

This request for funds was completely beyond her comprehension. No book had ever recorded anything like it.

Therefore, she is now completely panicked and doesn't know how to handle this situation. Perhaps she can only listen to Spider-Man's advice and stay here without moving.

Thinking this, she spun the scythe in her hand and hoisted it onto her shoulder, gazing at the white ocean in the distance.

Then she took a firm step forward, and waves of high temperature surged from her entire body, with red patterns wrapping around her.

Her body temperature has now increased several times over, and her entire body is experiencing a tremendous surge, so strong that even tiny spiders are blown away before they can get close.

Staying here peacefully isn't like her, Deedris thought. Although this place seemed dangerous, it lacked high-threat targets. Even if she encountered a powerful single unit, she now had this scythe in her hand. No normal calamity could be her enemy.

This thing has been tested, and its destructive power is simply impossible to withstand by any conventional means. Although it is just a slender scythe without any extra parts, its destructive power makes it feel like you're not holding a weapon at all.

Perhaps this scythe is inherently different from conventional weapons. Good weapons are often quite elaborate, with engravings, weapon spirits, and so on; some are even unsuitable for normal humans to consume due to their unique characteristics.

But even those complex weapons weren't as powerful as this one. Deedley had seen them use those so-called divine artifacts, which were no different from this one in her hand. It felt as light as if she were holding a wisp of air, and cutting anything was no different than slicing tofu.

Strangely, these spider webs would consciously avoid the sickle when it approached; they weren't cut open, but rather they would consciously avoid it.

Dedeline curiously touched the spiderweb with her finger, looking at the white, thread-like substance that stuck to her hand. This stuff was on a completely different level from the spiderweb the little spider had used before.

Because the scarf she was wearing was woven by the little spider, the clothes they had agreed on were still delayed due to a slight shortage of magic power. However, Deedris had seen the clothes he had woven before. Although it was just a thin layer, its defensive power was almost equivalent to armor. In terms of magic resistance, Deedris couldn't even completely penetrate it using her powers as the Fire Goat.

What kind of material could make this? She didn't know, and a simple deduction would tell her that this guy could bind her with spider webs at any time, leaving her with no ability to resist.

She turned the sickle in her hand upside down, looking at the girl who had appeared behind her at some point.

It was a little girl with purple hair, sitting on a spider web, the hem of her white skirt fluttering in the breeze. She looked at me with a slight smile, her completely pale skin was truly chilling.

"Hello, little lamb," she said, as four slender spider legs slowly grew out from behind her.

"And what kind of monster are you?" Deed tilted his head and asked. This guy's structure looked very similar to the little spider, and he didn't know whether he should be hostile to him.

Moreover, the example of the little spider made her realize how powerful these humanoid monsters were. If it was a unit she couldn't defeat, it was indeed better to show weakness.

“I am Lilith,” she said, resting her head on her hand. “I was once the mistress of this nest.”

"once?"

“Now it’s Chrison’s turn,” she said. “That guy is more suited to be part of this nest than I am.”

"Are you kidding me?" Deedri's voice gradually lowered, and her expression turned fierce.

“Of course not. Aren’t you curious why I came to find you?” She tilted her head and said, “Are you called Deedrey? I’ll answer your question for Spider-Man, which is about whether or not to be boyfriend and girlfriend.”

"What gives you the right to answer for him?" Dedeline's expression twitched. "Did he say that?"

“No, once we become part of the nest, we will share memories, and we will know each other inside and out,” Lilith said with a smile. “Besides, we are all of the same kind, and we should have unconditional trust in each other.”

Spiders gathered around, and before anyone knew it, a huge encirclement had formed.

The largest spider is three meters tall, while the smallest is the size of a palm, perched on its web. Meanwhile, tiny creatures are constantly hanging down, weaving even more webs.

The area was surrounded by rings of monsters, and the sight of the encirclement was truly disgusting.

“It seems I could guess your answer most of the time.” Deedri sighed. “So? Is that why he hopes to still have a girlfriend of the same race? Come to think of it, apart from the similarities in our human forms, our origins are completely different.”

“You’ve misunderstood. Krisen is now like me; because he’s occupying a body, his original form has become humanoid.” She said with a smile, “In fact, turning into a spider is a disguise created with magic.”

"So, can you let me go?"

"So you've misunderstood. After reading his memories, I think you two are quite a good match." She said with a smile, "Please don't look down on or dislike that child. That child is very sensitive and timid."

"Huh?" This was Deedri's turn to be confused. She turned around and was relieved to find that the spiders weren't acting in a show of force; they were just standing there, like humans watching something out of curiosity.

Just as I was about to ask another question, the entire spider swarm suddenly froze and then all looked in one direction.

"Did it have to be at a time like this?" Lilith's voice carried a hint of anger. "What an infuriating fellow."

You'll get used to it. The only problem is, you don't understand the current situation? It's not like it's the first or second time. Dedeline looked around and suddenly felt ashamed that she hadn't understood these creatures, who were even worse than wild beasts, yet she still didn't.

However, she soon realized that something was coming. It was a strange aura, gentle but repulsive.

“I would like to offer you a small welcome, but we have business to attend to right now.” Lilith bowed deeply while standing on the spider web. “If you want to see Chrison, just keep going straight ahead. There’s a slightly larger cocoon; that’s what’s inside.”

"Thank you for your hard work." Dedely waved goodbye subconsciously, and after watching her disappear from her sight in an instant, she fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Hmm? A cocoon? A little bigger?

Dedeline's mind went blank for a moment, and she suddenly realized that she couldn't understand this quantifier at all.

There are thousands upon thousands of cocoons here, all different sizes. Slightly larger? Um, how big is that?

Her facial expression was a little strange. She was thinking that maybe it was about the same size as a person, or a little bigger?

However, she was still a little unsure. She scratched her head and listened to the commotion behind her.

How disgusting.

She covered her face and thought to herself.

Although I forced myself to accept it, these guys were actually quite nice to me if you didn't judge them by their appearance, and they had been very friendly to me.

But it was really pushing my limits; these monsters were so terrifying that I started to regret coming here.

"Are you Deedris?" She heard the voice next to her again. How annoying! One stranger after another came up and called her name. How come she never knew she was so famous? Everyone, even demons and monsters, knew her.

"May I ask where this expert has come from?" Dedeline expressed her displeasure with a playful smile as she looked at the green fairy floating in the air.

"This is an avatar of the Elf King." The lovely fairy bowed to her in the air, "Here to protect your safety."

“Thank you so much.” Dedeline sighed, looking at the white spider silk around her.

I'm feeling really down. Am I some kind of fragile thing? Why are there so many things protecting me? Maybe my real identity is actually that of a princess, which is why there are so many people protecting me.

But she wasn't a weakling; Deedley was quite strong-willed, being a mercenary after all. However, being looked down upon like this was really upsetting.

"Forget it, there's nothing here that could hurt me." Dedeline spoke sincerely, as one after another these guys offered to let her be their guest. She didn't see anything that could actually harm her: "If you're an avatar of the Elf King, I'd like to know what kind of place this is."

"This is the Misty Forest, a prison of the Spirit Forest, used to imprison unclean visitors," the fairy said. "There are many entrances leading here; any place can lead here under the guidance of a certain demon king. This space is composite with the Spirit Forest; in other words, this is also the Spirit Forest, just its opposite."

“I don’t understand,” Deedrey replied without hesitation. “Besides, it gives me a headache.”

"Anyway, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Let me take you out first." The fairy smiled helplessly, then looked around and said, "To be honest, I only just found out that there was such a thing in there."

“You should clean more often.” Deedri suddenly remembered something and, stroking her chin, asked the fairy, “Can you sense the little spider’s magic?”

“I thought you could find it.” The fairy paused for a moment, then pointed to a spot not far away.

When Deedri finally saw it clearly, she realized how foolish she had asked the question.

Because it was a gigantic cocoon, far larger than the others, even without sensing magic, its unique size was immediately apparent. (78Chinese.com updates fastest on PC)

It is indeed slightly larger; anyone with eyes can see that.

Dedeline crossed her arms and sighed helplessly as she looked at the large thing.

If Chrisson turned into something that big, she'd better just be friends with him. Sure enough, this guy tested her limits again in this way.

"So, what are those guys doing now?" Dedeline turned to look at Zero's side, where it seemed unusually lively.

"As you said, begin cleaning," the fairy said, floating beside her. "I suggest keeping a slight distance from them. Otherwise, you might get accidentally hurt." (First published on 78Chinese.com)

“I could tell even if you didn’t say it.” Dedeline twirled the scythe in her hand twice before slinging it over her shoulder, her ears twitching a few times. “So noisy.”

After a moment of silence, the fairy said, "This clone has no sensitive senses."

“Is that so? Then I’ll leave it to you if there are any guys I can’t sense with my magic.” Deedley said, walking over there on her own. “If the little spider is resting inside right now, I probably shouldn’t disturb it.”

"Are you going to join that kind of battle?" The fairy floated beside her, her voice revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

"What's wrong? Are you worried I'll hurt one of your key combatants?" Dedeline said without turning her head, "There are thousands of troops here."

"Is that so?" The fairy's voice still betrayed no emotion. "There are indeed a lot of insects."

Dedeline shrugged, indicating that she couldn't think of any rebuttal to such comments.

......

At this moment, in the Spirit Forest.

“You’re still as unsettling as ever here.” Benny looked up wearily at the Elf King standing there. “And you still have that irritating look on your face.”

The Elf King didn't even react to such comments, simply watching quietly.

Yak could only smile helplessly at his girlfriend's habit of speaking rudely to the people in power here after she arrived. Some time ago, she had come here with him and was harassed by the Elf King.

She herself didn't care, but she held a slight grudge.

It's a bit late now; she arrived before going to bed for the night.

The Elf King watched silently as the two of them left, one after the other. He neither spoke nor tried to stop them. There was no need to say anything more; as the host, he was content to be generous.

“You look a little tired.” Ark looked at Benny, who was walking with her head down. Although she always seemed to be under rest, she looked even weaker than before.

"It's all your fault! I haven't slept in so long, I almost forgot what it felt like to sleep. I took a nap because of you." She gave Yak a dissatisfied look: "It's so annoying to stay up late after sleeping. I am a little upset right now. Watch out or I'll chop you up!"

"Haha, then you can have a good rest today." Ak paused, then put his arm around her shoulder and said, "You've worked hard."

“It’s just my daily work. I’m called Eight Colors Glass over there, that’s what I do.” Benny said, looking to the side, “We seem to have walked through a similar place before, it’s really beautiful.”
