Immediately afterwards, a low roar came from the abyss, as if some enormous creature was awakening.
The black-robed man at the head of the group paled, realizing something was wrong. He couldn't bother pressing Wang Fan any further and hurriedly shouted, "Watch out, there's a monster!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge black claw emerged from the abyss and grabbed the black-robed man closest to it.
The man in black robes let out a scream before being dragged into the abyss.
The remaining men in black robes were terrified and retreated in the direction away from the abyss.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Fan quickly jumped to the side and cautiously observed his surroundings.
With a violent tremor, a gigantic monster with eight legs slowly crawled out of the abyss.
Its eyes were like two burning flames, radiating a bloodthirsty light.
It continuously spewed out black smoke, and wherever it went, the rocks sizzled and corroded.
The monster seemed to be filled with rage at the people who had trespassed into its territory.
It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading outwards like sharp blades.
Both Wang Fan and the man in black robes were shaken by the powerful force, almost losing their footing.
The leader, a man in black robes, turned deathly pale. He looked in terror at the monster that had crawled out of the abyss and cried out, "How could there be a Mist Spider here!"
His voice was filled with disbelief and deep fear.
Upon hearing this, the other men in black robes were instantly filled with fear.
They knew all too well the terror of the Mist Spiders; these monsters were not only thick-skinned and tough, but also incredibly strong.
Moreover, it can spit out spider silk that is highly poisonous and corrosive.
Wherever it goes, it is shrouded in smog. Once trapped in it, one will be corroded by toxins and die a painful death.
"Boss, what do we do?" a man in black robes asked in a trembling voice, nearly dropping his weapon.
At this moment, the leader of the men in black robes shouted, "Old Eight is still down there! We have to save him!"
It turns out that the one dragged into the abyss by the monster was the "Eighth Brother" they were talking about.
Another man in black robes said in a trembling voice, "Boss, this...this is too dangerous! That's a Mist Spider!"
The leader of the black-robed men gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes, and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Eighth Brother has been with us for so long, we can't just watch him die! Only by killing this monster will we have a chance to save him!"
Having said that, he brandished his longsword and charged towards the monster first.
Although the other men in black robes were terrified, they followed along reluctantly, led by their leader.
Wang Fan felt a chill run down his spine, realizing from their conversation that this Mist Spider was no benevolent creature.
But he also realized that while the monster's appearance had disrupted the situation, it might also be his chance to escape.
In this tense situation, Wang Fan subconsciously activated the hidden system within his body.
A pale blue light screen, visible only to him, instantly unfolded before his eyes, displaying various pieces of information rapidly.
When information about the Mist Spider surfaced, Wang Fan gasped in shock—this monster's strength had actually reached the demigod level!
"No wonder those men in black robes were so terrified," Wang Fan thought in shock.
Wang Fan made a quick decision and decided to hide in the shadows first.
He moved carefully, using the jagged rocks and thick fog in the passage as cover, trying not to make any noise.
Fortunately, these men in black robes were determined to rescue "Old Eight" who had been dragged into the abyss.
They launched a desperate attack on the Mist Spider, successfully drawing most of the terrifying monster's attention.
The Mist Spider was enraged when it saw that the group dared to attack first.
It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading outwards like sharp blades.
Immediately afterwards, it pushed off the ground with its eight thick, long legs and charged toward the man in black robes like a black lightning bolt.
The men in black robes scattered, attempting to attack the monster from different directions to distract it.
The leader, dressed in black, seized the opportunity, his long sword gleaming with an eerie light, and thrust it fiercely towards the head of the Mist Spider.
However, the fog spider reacts extremely quickly.
It tilted its head, easily dodging the fatal blow, while simultaneously lashing out with a long leg like a steel whip at the leader of the black-robed men.
The man in black robes was unable to dodge in time and was struck on the shoulder.
He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the other men in black robes launched an attack, striking the Mist Spider with various weapons.
It only sparked a series of sparks, failing to cause any real damage.
The Mist Spider twisted its body angrily, then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black slime at the leader of the black-robed men.
Wherever the slime went, the ground was instantly corroded into large pits, emitting a pungent odor.
The leader of the black-robed men's pupils shrank suddenly, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong.
He leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the main plume of slime.
However, a small drop of sticky fluid still splashed onto the hem of his clothes.
With a "sizzle," a large hole was instantly corroded in the hem of the black-robed man's clothes, and a burnt smell wafted out.
His calves were also splattered with the corrosive sap, and his skin instantly turned black. The intense pain made him groan involuntarily.
"Boss!" The other men in black robes were anxious at the sight, but they were intimidated by the fierce aura of the Mist Spider and dared not step forward rashly for a moment.
The Mist Spider wouldn't let this opportunity pass. It moved swiftly with its eight long legs and pounced on the injured leader in black robes once more.
Its enormous body resembled a small black mountain, causing the ground to tremble slightly wherever it passed.
The leader, gritting his teeth against the excruciating pain in his calf, gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes gleaming with ruthlessness.
As the Mist Spider pounced, he dodged to the side, simultaneously drawing a sharp arc with his longsword and slashing at one of the spider's long legs.
With a clang, sparks flew, and the black-robed man's longsword failed to sever the long leg.
But this also caused the Mist Spider to feel pain, and its long legs retracted slightly.
Seeing this, the other men in black robes attacked from all sides.
One person, wielding two maces, forcefully smashed them into the eyes of the Haze Spider.
The other person cast a spell, sending streaks of black runes flying toward the monster in an attempt to disrupt its movements.
The Mist Spider twisted its body angrily, spitting out black slime from its mouth.
At the same time, he swung his long legs and engaged in fierce combat with the men in black robes.
The slime splattered everywhere in the passage, and everyone dodged left and right, creating a dangerous situation.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Fan carefully moved to one side of the passage, intending to sneak away.
He knew that his primary task was to get rid of these troubles and reunite with the women.
Once we can escape, it's not too late to figure out how to deal with these men in black robes.
Just as Wang Fan was about to reach the corner of the passage.
Just when he thought he could slip away smoothly, a sharp-eyed man in black robes noticed his actions.
"Oh no, that kid's trying to escape!" the black-robed man shouted as he dodged the attacks of the Mist Spiders.
