The armor, with cracks spreading one after another, seemed about to shatter completely at any moment.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe stepped onto the flexible spider silk again and leaped up.
The powerful surging air around it made the centipede spider sense an instinctive threat.
However, with dozens of its legs already severed, its resistance became increasingly untimely and powerless.
At that moment, Gu Xinghe, using the force of leaping up from the spider web and then swooping down, fiercely plunged the long blade in his hand into the spider's head.
With the center pierced, Gu Xinghe held the knife with both hands and slashed downwards, cutting open the entire abdomen of the centipede spider.
Surprisingly, however, what was found inside the dissected abdomen was not a silk-spinning organ.
Rather, it is evidence that it nurtures the entire ethnic group.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”
An endless stream of tiny black spiders emerged from the abdomen of the giant centipede.
At this moment, the body of the centipede, which had originally appeared enormous, was transformed as the spiders crawled out one by one.
The body, however, resembled a deflated balloon, with tiny spiders crawling out of its dissected abdomen.
But on the spot, the completely exposed body was nothing more than a withered skin.
These little spiders were covered in fine black hairs, making them look like soft plush toys.
Conversely, the sheer number of them that gather together creates a chilling feeling.
They are no bigger than the palm of your hand, but they move extremely fast.
Like tiny black dots, the little spiders had now densely occupied every corner of the space.
Their eight legs touched the ground, ceiling, and walls, and they crawled rapidly on them.
It formed a surging haze that kept approaching Gu Xinghe.
It looked as if a black wave was spreading and surging at high speed, about to completely engulf him.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe could not see anything else in the space before him.
As far as the eye could see, the entire space contained only a constantly moving mass of layered blackness.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe took out a spare bottle of alcohol from the mirror space.
He partially blocked the bottle opening with his thumb and quickly poured out the liquid around the outer edge where he was standing.
The spot where he is currently standing is one of the few remaining empty spaces that has not yet been affected by the spider wave.
But the black clouds, black haze, and surging black waves were formed from small groups of spiders.
At this moment, an unstoppable force had formed, seemingly poised to devour everything in its path.
And this is the small area where Gu Xinghe is currently located.
It became the only remaining "island" in this black, fractured space.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe took out another box of matches from the mirror space.
But when he opened the box and saw the matches inside, he paused.
Seeing the swarm of small spiders approaching at an even faster pace, Gu Xinghe no longer hesitated and struck a match.
Gu Xinghe tossed the match into the air, watching the faint glow of the flame flicker and tumble.
At that moment, as he gazed, a few points of orange-yellow light were reflected in the center of his pupils.
"boom--"
The faint light finally touched the ground, igniting a fierce fire on the flammable alcohol.
It was as if a barrier made of firelight had been erected for Gu Xinghe, who was at the center.
The intense flames burned higher and higher, as if illuminating all the darkness in the entire space.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!!"
As if oblivious to everything, the little spiders, still fearlessly charging into the flames, now let out sharp cries.
At this moment, the spider's movements might be better described as "surging".
One after another, fearless little spiders, whether actively or passively, appeared.
They crawled quickly toward Gu Xinghe, who was surrounded by flames at the center.
Or perhaps they were propelled forward by the relentless strength of their companions behind them.
The spiders, already scorched by the fireworks, hadn't even passed through the "wall of flames" constructed by Gu Xinghe.
It lost the ability to continue moving forward in the flames and collapsed into the fire.
It's like a piece of black coal placed on the ground, having released all the energy within it.
At this moment, the air was filled with the unique aroma of meat mixed with protein burning.
But looking through the fireworks, Gu Xinghe could still see countless tiny black spiders covering the entire space.
It was as if their numbers had not decreased at all after being burned by flames.
Just like how so many small spiders could crawl out of the abdomen of the centipede spider, it was astonishing.
However, as the alcohol gradually burns...
At this moment, the flame barrier surrounding and protecting Gu Xinghe was growing weaker and weaker. It seemed that it would burn out completely in the next moment.
As if sensing this, the spiders surged toward Gu Xinghe at an increasingly faster pace.
Just a second before the tiny flame was about to go out, Gu Xinghe did not take out any more items from the mirror space.
"Clang—"
At this moment, he even threw the sharp blade in his hand onto the ground.
With the lingering heat of the ground, the discarded blades turned an even redder red, as if they had been quenched.
Seeing this, he looked at the swarm of black spiders that was rapidly spreading around him.
Gu Xinghe, however, closed his outstretched right hand, raised his right fist to gather strength, knelt on the ground, and then punched the ground.
"boom--"
The solid brick was pierced directly.
There were also sporadic sounds of spiders being affected, their limbs cracking.
Then, as the crack in the center gradually spread outwards, Gu Xinghe's blows came again.
The swarming small spiders have now crawled up to Gu Xinghe's calves, thighs, and even forearms.
But Gu Xinghe simply retracted his clenched fist.
The small pieces of brick, already shattered by the impact, were now being crushed into powder and slipped from his fingers.
"Snap—Snap—"
The floor that supported the entire space shattered.
A sudden feeling of weightlessness came over me.
Gu Xinghe, who had shattered the ground, and the endless spider waves both fell into the darkness.
During the fall, Gu Xinghe seemed to see a giant spider web in the darkness.
Each spider web is extremely fine and regular, connecting every part of the dream.
