"You guys are hilarious. What's the point of doing this? I've already said we didn't do it, so it wasn't us."
Zuo Qingya touched her nose and nodded: "Yes."
The older woman pointed at Zuo Qingya: "It's you, isn't it? You dark-skinned girl, it's one thing to be ugly..."
Before the older woman could finish speaking, Zuo Qingya grabbed her hand and inserted something unidentified through her skin. "Try saying it again."
"I said what happened, I just said you're ugly, so what? Can't I even say I'm ugly?"
Zuo Qingya smiled and gestured for them to continue, "Go on, we're leaving now." (If you don't speak now, you'll be dead.)
The older woman grabbed Zuo Qingya and said, "Go? Go where? I haven't finished talking yet!"
Xia Hua walked over and pulled the old woman away: "Auntie, you're really crazy. We've already said it wasn't us, so why are you making such a fuss and calling so many people over?"
"Sister, please give my brother back to me, okay? We really know we were wrong."
Zuo Qingya raised an eyebrow and said, "How come I don't know what you did wrong to me? You know you were wrong? I really don't understand."
Don't you think about it? The air-raid shelter is so small, where can a person go? I don't have the ability to wipe them out. Besides, with so many people, there would be some noise, right? Did you hear anything?
They keep saying I killed someone, but maybe I've done too many bad things, and even the mutated creatures couldn't stand it and just kidnapped them.
"What? A mutated creature? Could there be a mutated creature in the air-raid shelter? That's impossible."
Xia Hua snorted coldly: "Hmph... How is it impossible? The air-raid shelter has been around for so long, it could be that it has fallen into disrepair over the years. Besides, we live on the outer perimeter, how could there be no mutated creatures there?"
Just then, screams came from inside the air-raid shelter.
"What is this? How can there be such a terrifying thing?"
"Get away from here, get away from here."
"Mom, save me! What is this?"
"Run! The wall is collapsing! Run!"
In a frenzy, countless people were trampled underfoot, and the air-raid shelter behind them collapsed as soon as they emerged.
From afar, Zuo Qingya and her companions saw many spiders crawling out of the dust, both large and small.
"It's a spider, run!"
"How could there be so many spiders? It's terrifying."
"Yes! That was terrifying."
"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and save them!"
"So many spiders, it's terrifying! I'm too scared!"
"There are too many spiders, and one of them is huge. If you're so capable, why don't you go and do it yourself!"
"Okay! I'll go."
The fire-type ability user condensed a fireball with his ability and threw it directly at the spider swarm. However, to his surprise, the spider swarm was not afraid of fire and at the same time emitted a corrosive liquid that corroded the ground.
The survivor trampled under the spiders had a large chunk of flesh corroded away, sizzling and smoking. The survivor let out a wail and fainted.
"Don't come any closer! Go away! Go away now! Please save me!"
Soldiers who heard the commotion ran over and killed the spiders one by one, but some spiders the size of fists still scurried around. Many people were bitten by the spiders, and several large welts swelled up in an instant.
Large spiders spray out corrosive liquid that corrodes most of anything it touches, and it even hisses and smokes – it's absolutely terrifying.
It's human nature to watch a spectacle. Hearing the commotion, many people rushed over, forming a dense crowd three or four deep. Some were accidentally bitten by small spiders, resulting in large, swollen welts. Fortunately, the venom of small spiders wasn't very potent, only causing welts and not much harm. However, if bitten by a large spider, it could be fatal, as the corrosive fluid of large spiders is no joke; once it enters a person's body, it can lead to death or permanent disability.
With everyone's help, the spiders were quickly wiped out, but the people buried in the air-raid shelter were likely already dead. But no matter what, they had to be dug out to check. Some were lucky, some were unlucky, some died and some were injured. After all, they had been buried for so long, so it was normal for some to die.
When they dug open the air-raid shelter, they discovered a large hole inside. Someone volunteered and cautiously entered the hole. They found the walls to be very smooth, suggesting that spiders had been inside for a long time. The walls were shiny and oily, indicating that there were many spiders inside. These spiders were not afraid of fire-based abilities, so they had to send in people with abilities of other types.
It was very dark inside; you could only go in with a headlamp.
rustling sounds...
The leader gestured for everyone to stop, and they all fell silent, listening to the source of the sound. Soon the sound grew closer, and upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a giant rat. They hadn't expected there to be rats in the spider's hole. Together, they killed the rat.
As they continued exploring, they ventured deeper and deeper, discovering more and more forks in the road.
The longer they waited outside the cave, the more uneasy they became.
"Why haven't they come out yet? Could something have happened to them inside?"
"Don't talk nonsense, they'll be fine."
"This opening is too big. Maybe only a small number of spiders came out. There might be many more inside. Can they really wipe them out with just a few people? Should we send another team in?"
With everyone's consent, they began to form a team and enter the cave.
Zuo Qingya and Xia Hua were also in the group. They were simply curious about what was inside the cave. After all, they couldn't see anything while waiting outside, so they might as well go inside and take a look!
With Zuo Qingya's current strength, dealing with these little spiders shouldn't be a problem. As for Xia Hua, well, let's just show her the world.
We arrived at the fork in the road.
"Which way did they come from? There wasn't a single mark left outside the cave entrance. Should we split up?"
"Okay, shall I walk this way with Xia Hua?"
No one objected; they nodded in agreement, chose their preferred entrance, and went inside.
Xia Hua tugged at Zuo Qingya's sleeve, "Zuo Qingya, do you know where they went? Why hasn't anyone come out yet? And they didn't even leave a mark at the cave entrance."
"I'm here! Don't worry, the ones in the other caves are just small fry!"
How did you know?
"You'll understand when you reach my level."
"Alright!"
The path Zuo Qingya and her friends were taking had a big surprise waiting for them! As they got closer, they discovered that the cave walls were covered with dense spider webs, and there were also several cocoons as tall as a person. It was obvious what was inside.
Zuo Qingya wasn't in a hurry to get the person down. She went in first to scout ahead, after all, there was a big treasure waiting for them inside! To be on the safe side, Zuo Qingya added a layer of defense to Xia Hua's body.
