Ming Luo felt that what she saw before her once again surpassed her understanding. Was this a superpower? That's right, if there were monsters here, there must be people with special abilities, right?
Looking closely, the humanoid spider's waist seemed to be locked by a black rope loop, and the other end of the rope loop was connected to the shadow behind the man.
The man stood in the moonlight, his frosty blue eyes were full of coldness, his black hair danced in the wind like a ribbon, his robe rustled in the evening breeze, and behind him, a black shadow as dark as ink and waves surged.
The black shadow is like a sword, killing with one strike.
The humanoid spider struggled like a living target. The moment the black shadow attacked, it quickly spun a cocoon to protect itself. However, the thick cocoon was pierced by the shadow sword the next second. The beautiful face of the humanoid spider was instantly covered with broken flesh, and its eight hairy legs drooped lifelessly.
Ming Luo walked forward cautiously and asked nervously, "Is it dead?"
The man did not answer Ming Luo directly, but continued to control the black shadow to quickly bind a fat spider hanging in the air. Then he said, "The puppet is dead, but the original body is still alive."
"You've already destroyed my best puppet, what else do you want? Let me go!" Spider started yelling in a hoarse voice as soon as he was tied up with ropes by the black shadow and thrown at Ming Luo's feet.
Ming Luo looked at the round, short-legged spider on the ground and took a few steps back reflexively. She carefully examined the object on the ground. After seeing its true appearance, Ming Luo was momentarily overwhelmed.
The body of this spider is that of a very cute chubby little boy. Judging from its appearance, it is estimated to be about five or six years old. It is pink and tender, and its appearance looks very much like the adorable god of love Cupid. If it weren't for the hairy legs struggling behind it, Mingluo really wouldn't have been able to tell that it was a spider.
"Is this the monster that wanted to eat me just now?!" Don't be fooled by its cute appearance. It can really kill people when it gets angry. Ming Luo hid aside and didn't dare to get close.
"The Face-Controlling Spider is not yet an adult." The black-haired man said coldly.
"You two bastards, what's your ability to bully a little demon!" The face of the Controlling Spider turned red, and it rolled on the ground like a tantrum. Seeing that it could not beat the tall man, it simply started to cheat.
The black-haired man simply ignored the voice of the face-controlling spider and briefly explained the habits of the face-controlling spider to Mingluo.
In fact, the body of the face-controlling spider is relatively low in aggressiveness. They mainly rely on puppets to attack, and puppets need a lively face to move. In addition, the face-controlling spider is a typical face-controller, so if you want them to take the initiative to attack, the prey must have a beautiful face. In other words, once a beautiful woman is targeted by the face-controlling spider, although her life is not in danger, her face may no longer belong to her.
Many young girls whose faces were peeled off by the Face Controlling Spider chose to end their lives in regret because of the loss of their beautiful faces. However, Mingluo, who accidentally stumbled into the Face Controlling Spider's territory, was a perfect young face in its eyes.
After hearing this, Mingluo touched her face in fear. Fortunately, the black-haired hero arrived in time, otherwise her face would have appeared on the monster. She looked at the face-controlling spider on the ground with disdain, wishing she could get away from it.
However, Mingluo seemed to have learned some important information. The fact that the Face-Controlling Spider targeted her just meant that she was pretty good-looking!
"Hey, little thing, weren't you complaining about my ugly appearance just now?" Ming Luo said, hiding behind the black-haired man.
Black-haired man: Isn’t this girl’s focus a bit off?
The face-controlling spider pretended to be reluctant. It looked at Mingluo's face. The girl was indeed good-looking, petite and cute, yet intelligent. Her eyes were especially bright, glittering with a cunning glint, making her look mischievous. But Mingluo was not its type. It preferred voluptuous and charming older sisters.
The Face-Controlling Spider feigned disgust and replied in a hoarse voice, "I caught you to be my food, I don't care about your chubby face!"
"Tsk~ whatever you want." No matter how cute the face-controlling spider looks, Ming Luo is too lazy to pay attention to such a vicious monster.
Seeing that the life-or-death crisis had been resolved, Mingluo breathed a sigh of relief. She supported her aching body and reluctantly walked to the black-haired man to thank him, "Thank you, my name is Mingluo."
The black-haired man looked down at the disheveled girl. The girl was very similar to the gentle and lovely woman in his memory, with a soft face, a straight and small nose, and even her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be carved from the same mold.
It’s just that the beauty in my memory was so gentle that it was refreshing, while the girl in front of me was full of vitality, and there was a hint of intelligence and cunning in her bright eyes. The two had completely different temperaments.
"Ye Zhihan." Thinking of the gentle woman in his memory, he unconsciously softened his tone.
"Excuse me, what exactly is this place? Do you all have...superpowers?" Ming Luo had a lot of questions to ask.
Ye Zhihan answered concisely: "Suma Continent."
Mingluo considered herself a brilliant scholar, with exceptional grades in history and geography. Yet, she had never heard of a land called "Suma Continent." She desperately wanted to ask Ye Zhihan more, but he looked like he didn't want to talk to anyone, leaving her at a loss.
The girl's pretty face wrinkled into a ball, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She asked, "Where is the Suma Continent?"
Ye Zhihan slowly explained, "The Suma Continent is a chaotic world filled with demons and monsters. It and your world exist side by side, and neither affects the other. As a human, you don't belong to this world."
Okay, so I have traveled to a parallel world. Mingluo curled his lips helplessly and continued to ask: "Then how can I return to the human world?"
Ye Zhihan's icy gaze swept across Mingluo, then he looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and continued, "The Crossing Realm Master can help you."
It turns out that Ming Luo is now in the selection competition for Cross-border Journeyers. Cross-border Journeyers have the ability to travel between your human world and the Suma Continent, and have the responsibility to protect the balance between the two worlds. As long as the selection competition is over and a new batch of Cross-border Journeyers are selected, Ming Luo will have hope of returning home. A shining hope ignited in Ming Luo's eyes.
Ye Zhihan poured cold water on Mingluo's plan: "You have to survive the trials first."
Ming Luo couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought of monsters like the Face-Controlling Spider. She thought there must be even more terrifying situations in this selection competition. Ming Luo, who had just ignited her hope, immediately lost it. How could a weakling like her possibly defeat monsters and other contestants?
But, the handsome guy next to him is okay.
Ming Luo looked at Ye Zhihan with a smile, her wish to cling to him was written directly on her face. Her sparkling eyes were particularly attractive in the cruel dark night.
Ye Zhihan looked at the pitiful girl before him, his head lowered in thought. The brutal selection competition was a life-or-death struggle, and bringing a human girl with him would clearly be a burden. Remembering the girl's tenacious struggle for survival against the face-controlling spider, and seeing the large burn marks on her ankles, Ye Zhihan knew she wouldn't survive the next day if he left her here.
It’s so tragic. It’s so tragic just thinking about it.
