"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"
The sudden, sharp scraping sound was like a steel nail being hammered into Gu Xinghe's brain.
It was persistent and deep, as if it were trying to penetrate his eardrums and even his entire brain.
When Gu Xinghe opened his eyes again.
At this moment, he found himself stepping directly into this strange space as he stepped onto a new step.
This feeling of spatial transformation.
This experience was different from when he was usually teleported to different places by the game system to participate in game instances.
If it were necessary to describe this difference in detail—
It was more like the spatial shift before him that gave Gu Xinghe a sense of dislocation.
It's like looking down from a higher dimension; he's still in the same place, but he's just accidentally wandered into another dimension.
The spatial teleportation function of the game system itself gives players a realistic feeling of their body being transferred and teleported.
But the feeling this space gives him.
It did feel somewhat similar to the Magic Mirror Space where Eris himself had once been.
Compared to the real world, which has various restrictions and operating rules.
The things that appear in these two spaces are all imbued with a certain degree of fantasy.
The flow of time and the changes in space seem to be quite different from those in the outside world.
It gives the impression that this is a "subspace" that exists in relation to the real world.
And now I find myself suddenly moved from a stairwell on campus to this new space.
Gu Xinghe could only sigh silently in his heart—
Therefore, it seems that even maintaining a group activity on campus is not an invincible state of safety.
At that moment, with a "click" as he took a new step, it was as if he had stepped onto a lost staircase.
They then fell into the trap space before them.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe looked around and saw an enormous spider in the space before him.
It lay prone in the air, weaving a web, with silk threads from its abdomen densely interwoven in mid-air, covering the entire space.
At this moment, he was like prey trapped in a snare meticulously woven by a giant spider, unable to escape.
The giant spider slowly retracted its web, wrapped him up, and swallowed him whole.
However, unlike ordinary spiders which only have four pairs of legs.
At this moment, the giant spider in this space was completely surrounded by space, with not a single gap between its body and the surrounding area.
A hundred legs extend from beneath its body, covered with fine, dark brown down.
Despite this, the giant centipede spider clearly demonstrated a high degree of skill in using its various limbs.
The segments that were constantly waving in the air looked busy but not chaotic.
Its feet, constantly weaving a dense web, seem to be weaving and arranging the fate of all those who fall into its trap.
Animals that were once tiny compared to the size of humans.
At this moment, however, he climbed directly to the top of the food chain, looking down at Gu Xinghe, who now appeared truly short.
The "sizzling" sound that Gu Xinghe had heard earlier was actually the sound of the spider's segments scraping against the ground.
Apart from the terrifying hundred steps, that's enough.
The giant spider's body is divided into the cephalothorax, which is covered by a carapace and a thorax, and the abdomen, which "loads" the spinning organs.
The cephalothorax, covered by the carapace and breastplate, looks as if it is wearing a layer of shiny black armor.
The tips of the chelicerae also have venom gland openings, which will deliver the final blow to any prey that is stuck in the web and unable to escape.
Although it seems like a long time has passed, Gu Xinghe's observation only took place in this instant.
At this moment, he looked down and saw that his feet were wrapped in fine spider silk.
It is very sticky, fine, tough, and elastic.
The sticky white silk threads, which hardened rapidly upon contact with air after being spat out by the spider, wrapped around his two calves in layers.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe took out a dagger from the mirror space and neatly cut off all the spider silk attached to his feet.
However, the centipede's legs are covered with bristles that serve as sensory organs.
At this moment, the sensory organs, as fine as downy hairs, sensitively sensed the airflow and vibrations caused by Gu Xinghe's movements.
When this perception is transmitted back into the giant body of the centipede spider.
The spider, which had been diligently weaving its web, suddenly erupted into a frenzy.
Gu Xinghe threw the dagger back into the mirror space, a slightly excited smile appearing on his face.
His swordsmanship, which he had been honing all along, and his ever-improving physical abilities seemed to finally have a purpose at this moment.
He took out a sharp longsword that suited him and used the white spider silk that filled the entire space as his footing.
He brandished his sword and slashed at the centipede's long, segmented limbs.
"Squeak—"
The seemingly soft, fine hairs on its feet were actually incredibly hard, and when they rubbed against the blade, they produced clusters of orange-red sparks.
A carefree smile appeared on Gu Xinghe's face as he pressed the blade down forcefully, severing several of the spider's legs in succession.
Its cut looks flat and smooth.
The bluish-green blood splattered on Gu Xinghe's face, which, combined with his disheveled hair from exercise, made him look even more wild.
Like the creaking sound of leather rubbing together, the centipede in front of me let out a huge scream.
The remaining uninjured limbs reacted quickly and attacked him.
“Swish——”
Its incredibly fast, sharp feet, like a javelin equipped with poison needles, pierced straight towards Gu Xinghe.
He turned his head slightly, and his extremely fast reaction allowed him to predict the movement trajectory of the limb in front of him.
Having learned from his previous experience, Gu Xinghe now cut off the limb that was attacking him with even greater decisiveness.
Gu Xinghe, however, used the densely interwoven white spider silk in the air as his foothold and a point to gather strength.
His feet were directly on the spider silk.
The seemingly soft and messy dense net actually supports Gu Xinghe's body, which has an excellent sense of balance.
He leaped and tumbled through the air with incredible speed to evade his attacks.
His nimble body moved nimbly among the centipedes that seemed clumsy in comparison.
With each leap, he would sever several segments of the giant spider.
The loss of more and more legs is also affecting the centipede spider's body.
Its former form, which was originally covered with a layer of shiny black armor, now looked as if it had been subjected to a massive impact.
Cracks seemed to be spreading continuously across the surface.
