The spider was right in front of him; he couldn't escape it.

The next moment, the spider stopped just 1 millimeter away from his nose. He could almost feel its antennae gently brushing against the tip of his nose.

In the darkness, another figure seemed to appear before my eyes.

Just now, it was he who accurately caught the spider, saving Mu Nanxun from becoming its food.

"Little one, it's time to eat~"

The man seemed to have found a corner and squatted down.

The previously rampaging spider suddenly quieted down and lay on the man's arm.

Gradually, blue light reappeared on the spider's body.

With the help of the dim light, Mu Nanxun finally saw the figure of the person from before.

To be honest, if it weren't for that human-like remark just now, he really wouldn't be able to tell whether it was a person or something else...

The man's limbs were hunched over, and the only piece of cloth covering him was tattered and offered no protection. Almost no part of his exposed skin was intact; it was covered in spots and blemishes. Even more horrifying, his face was covered in gruesome marks, like earthworms coiled around his body.

Not only that, his scarred face looked like it had been doused with boiling water, red and swollen, covered with large blisters.

Just by looking at him like this, it's impossible to tell what he originally looked like.

If it weren't for his exposed chest, it would be impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

He sat on the ground with his mouth agape, his expression unreadable, neither showing pain nor anything else. Only his eyes were empty and lifeless, like those of a dead man.

"vomit……"

Jiang Shanshan felt nauseous and almost gagged.

His behavior is indeed unsettling.

What's most unbelievable is that the spider was perched on his arm, frantically sucking his blood.

Even Mu Nanxun, who considered himself to have traveled extensively and seen a great deal, had never seen such a scene before.

He had initially assumed that the blood-fed spiders Jiang Shanshan mentioned were made with animal blood. He never imagined they were made with human blood, and in such a direct, sucking manner.

It's likely that these terrible scars on this person's body are the result of feeding this spider.

Do you know him?

Mu Nanxun asked.

Jiang Shanshan suppressed her nausea and shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know it! Grandma Arno never told me there was such a monster in here. It's too scary, I don't want to stay here, I want to get out. Hey, please take me out of here!"

Go out? How could he possibly leave without the key?

"Who are you?"

Mu Nanxun moved closer, and the man's eyelids only lifted slightly after a long while, making it impossible to discern his expression.

"I...I'm just food for this little thing..."

"Did Arnold lock you up here to feed the spiders?"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Mu Nanxun felt that the emotion in the man's eyes seemed to change for a moment when he heard the name "Arno".

Was it terror, despair, or resentment...?

He waited for a long time, but the person didn't answer him. But the answer was already obvious.

Just when Mu Nanxun thought the man would not speak again, he slowly opened his mouth again, his voice seemingly coming from a cold hell.

“Kill it…”

Mu Nanxun thought he was referring to Arno and was about to reply when the man continued, "Don't you want the key inside this spider's belly? Kill the spider and you'll get the key."

"Aren't you going to stop them?"
