Where is this place?
Xin Sui looked around and saw only stones everywhere: stone trees, stone statues, stone pillars...
[A secret realm is essentially a small world, similar to the Turtle Pearl Space.]
"What does a baby flower look like? Why doesn't Xuan Tu come in and get it himself?"
[You have used up your daily question attempts. To obtain answers, please purchase answer sheets from the system shop. The system will be happy to answer your questions.]
Xin Sui: "..."
Upon opening the system interface and entering the store, a new product was discovered—answer sheets.
Each card costs 2 system coins, is a one-time use, and allows you to ask only one question at a time.
"System, you're getting more and more cunning."
[This system has no obligation to answer the host's questions. The reason it has answered them before was only out of humanitarian considerations.]
[You're already dissatisfied with this system just because it no longer provides free Q&A?]
[Sigh, being a system is so hard.]
Xin Sui's lips twitched.
"Stop, I'm too lazy to buy answer sheets. Just deduct the system coins from my balance."
[Okay, the 4 system coins have been deducted as a question-answering fee. The system will now answer all of the host's questions.]
[The first question is about the doll flower, which is the companion flower of the doll spider. When the doll spider smiles, the doll flower will bloom.]
[As for what it looks like, that depends on the spider that gave birth to it; the baby spider doesn't have a uniform shape.]
Xin Sui: "What is a baby spider? Is it a mutated spider?"
[Would you like to list this as the second question?]
Just as Xin Sui was about to answer, he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying.
Where did this baby come from in this secret realm?
Could there be someone here too?
She followed the sound to a stone pillar and saw a baby lying on the ground, crying pitifully.
The glistening tears wet her long eyelashes, causing them to stick together.
Her chubby little face makes you want to pinch it.
Xin Sui was immediately overcome with maternal instincts and rushed forward to pick her up.
However, after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, and the loving look in her eyes turned into fear.
That angelic baby's head was actually connected to a huge spider!
Baby's head, spider's body...
Xin Sui asked in a trembling voice, "System, this isn't the doll spider you were talking about earlier, is it?!"
[That's right.]
Xin Sui almost fainted.
God knows how horrifying it would be if an incredibly cute baby had a spider-like body growing under its head!
Although its spider body is like transparent crystal, it can definitely be called a fine work of art when viewed alone.
But when it's connected to a baby's head, it becomes incredibly terrifying.
Even more terrifying, the spider that was crying so hard just moments before suddenly started scrambling toward her with its teeth chattering as soon as it spotted her!
Its teeth are also like crystal.
But it looks very strange for a baby to have a mouthful of neat, sharp teeth!
"Don't come any closer!"
Xin Sui screamed and turned to run away.
Having seen so many bizarre, terrifying, and grotesque insects in the insect nest, she had become numb to them.
I feel that no matter how scary the insects are, I will not panic.
But after seeing the spider doll... she was wrong.
The creatures in the apocalypse are simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
There's no limit to how terrifying it can get!
This creature with a doll's head and a spider's body must be the cruelest joke the Creator has ever played on humankind!
Xin Sui ran desperately.
I wish I could race against the speed of light and travel back to before I met the doll spider.
Her figure moved so fast that it left a trail of afterimages behind her.
She died five times in the insect hive, and her speed increased by 10 points.
Adding to the original 8 points, the speed stat alone now has 18 points.
Equivalent to a speed-type ability user at the eighth level of the Middle Star Realm.
When running at full speed, the speed is comparable to that of a helicopter.
Of course, due to her physical limitations, she cannot maintain such a high speed for an extended period of time.
After running for two minutes, her heart couldn't take it anymore.
She slowed down to avoid her heart bursting due to insufficient blood supply.
Xin Sui looked back and found that the baby spider had not chased after them.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That thing was really too weird.
It's good that you've shaken them off.
To her surprise, when she turned around, she found herself face to face with a spider cactus hanging directly in front of her, its webs dangling from its base.
She could even see the blood between its teeth.
Xin Sui's pupils dilated, and he grabbed the Dragon Fang Dagger and began to wildly dart at it.
"Get away from me! Don't come any closer..."
Xin Sui felt a sudden weight on his shoulder, and his heart sank as well.
She slowly turned her head and saw that the spider was perched on her shoulder, its big, round eyes looking at her curiously.
Xin Sui: "..."
No, she's about to faint.
Despite saying that, she still persevered.
As the spider lunged at her, she swiftly thrust the Dragon Fang Dagger into its mouth.
The doll spider's crystal fangs clashed with the dragon tooth dagger, producing a piercing scraping sound.
It felt like someone was scratching a glass window with their fingernail.
It's so frustrating to hear.
Xin Sui should have pressed his advantage and pushed the Dragon Fang Dagger down its throat to finish it off.
But then, two strings of glistening tears fell from the spider's big eyes.
It was as if she had hurt him.
Xin Sui can be ruthless to anyone, but he can't be ruthless to children, especially such a small baby.
