Chapter 10: The Giant Spider

Wang Chao’s eyes lit up as he rubbed his fat hands together and said, “oh wow, so much food; how should we divide this!”

Han Kexin glared at him with dissatisfaction in her eyes and reprimanded, “Do you only know how to eat? Look at how fat you already are.” After a pause, she continued: “These things are hard to come by; I think we need to save some. After all, it’ll not be easy for you to go back.”

Xiao Yu smiled and casually said: “No need; I have a number of methods to obtain food, and sharing these goods will be a huge boost to our morale. Teacher Han, stone, Fatty, Xiaowen, each of you take three pieces of chocolate first; also, take a few handfuls of candies and divide the rest amongst the others. As for how you do that, I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide. We are now in a dangerous situation, and our top priority is to help everyone out as much as possible.”

Han Kexin nodded helplessly and then said: “I can ensure that each student will be given half a piece of chocolate and ten candies. We will give more to those who have participated in the work today and save the rest for those willing to work in the future, as special treatment for whoever risks their lives for the group’s sake.”

Xiao Yu paused for a moment before agreeing with her, “Alright.”

Wang Chao shouted: “I love you to death!”

Xiao Yu kicked him away, “fuck off! Oh, by the way, I brought back a few packs of cigarettes. Most people would want to smoke now; you can give it to whoever.”

Han Kexin and Jiang Xiaowen peered at him, their gorgeous eyes sparkling with appreciation and a hint of admiration.

Noticing their gaze, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and did not say anything.

Xiao Yu knew that he was not a savior, nor was he a good person. He didn’t like to do meaningless things, let alone do something that could harm him for the sake of others. However, he considered that a hundred people did not pose that much of a hindrance for him. And as they would not have too much of an impact on him, he judged it better to help everyone here. Some in this group had

great potential and may become a force to be reckoned with in the near future. He merely considered it all as a kind of early investment.

And even if there had been no need for food, Xiao Yu would still have returned to school to strengthen himself fighting against the goblin warriors; bringing some supplies back was merely a bonus.

Wang Chao tore open the package as soon as he received his chocolates. He ate the large piece of chocolate in a few mouthfuls and then ate the other two pieces at the same speed. Then he licked his lips and looked greedily at the others.

At this time, Jiang Xiaowen was holding a piece of chocolate in her little hands; she was reluctant to eat it and instead chose to lick it slowly with her tongue, savoring its mellow taste. Then, suddenly feeling a greedy gaze beside her, she shrank away in fright and said, “Big fatty, I won’t give it to you!”

Wang Chao curled his lips and turned his eyes to Jin shi.

“piss off!” As a result, Jin Shi, who was usually straightforward and honest, used foul language for the first time.

Han Kexin couldn’t help but show a smile, though, after a while, her smile crumbled down, and a deep sad expression appeared on her face, she came to this world inexplicably, and she didn’t know whether she’ll live to see the next day.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the cave, mixed with people’s screams and panic.

Wang Chao opened his mouth in shock and said, “What’s going on outside? Where’s this noise coming from?”

“Something bad must have happened.” Xiao Yu stood up and said to the others, “Let’s go out and see.”

When the four of them emerged from the cave and entered the big underground area, they noticed that everyone’s face was pallid, as if they had seen something horrible. After some inquiring, They discovered that the two guys Han Kexin had assigned to observe the situation outside the exit passageway had inexplicably vanished, leaving no trace behind.

After learning about the specific situation, Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said to everyone: “Don’t panic; let’s take a look first.”

With Han Kexin and the others following him, he gathered five to six other people with good strength and walked out of the passage to the forest outside the cave. The night had completely set, and the surrounding fields felt silent and gloomy.

“This is…” Han Kexin picked up a goblin club from the ground, “I made them sit inside the cave to monitor the situation outside, but how did this club fall outside the cave? Sure enough, something must’ve gone wrong! “

Jiang Xiaowen was a little scared, “What should we do now?”

Xiao Yu looked around calmly for a while and muttered to himself: “It’s not normal; the forest shouldn’t be this quiet” He turned around and said to the others: “I’m afraid we can’t all investigate right now, the forest at night is not safe, and so everyone should retreat for the time being. I will search the surrounding area; if I still can’t find anything, then there is nothing we can do.”

Hiss!

At this time, a weird sound could be heard in the wilderness, and suddenly a white thread shot out from the noise’s direction, landing on a person’s face and gluing to him tightly. Before he could react, the long white strands suddenly shrank, and his whole body was instantly dragged into the deep green. Every action was too quick; only a second or two passed, giving others no time to respond.

And yet the moment it shot back, Xiao Yu directly flew towards the direction of the white silk. He waved his blade in midair, the blade’s breeze sliced through the weeds half a person tall, and a massive spider appeared in everyone’s line of sight. It was enormous, its body pitch black with numerous white markings, its eight legs coated in steel needle-like hair, and the ends had sharp dagger-like claws.

At the sight of it, Jiang Xiaowen screamed, “Monster!”

The giant spider caught its prey from a long distance by spinning its silk. The moment the person was dragged by the spider’s sticky silk, using its lengthy legs, the enormous monster clutched the fully immobilized person, dodged Xiao Yu’s strike, and leapt up into a nearby rock mountain, quickly climbing up to a high place before stopping. It opened its mouth and bit the man’s skull; a sharp thorn pierced his head, penetrated his skull, and began draining the guy’s brain. The man’s face was distorted as if he was enduring unbearable anguish for ordinary people, while his mouth was wide open, and he still couldn’t utter a single sound.

siuu!

Suddenly a cold light flashed, and the bone blade was thrown out of his hand and plunged precisely into the spider’s back, getting entirely buried in.

The spider hissed and slid down the mountainside, its body constantly writing while purple-black blood spilled out of its rear. When it fought to stand again, Xiao Yu pounced on its back, drew out the bone blade, jumped forward, and cut its skull with his backhand. The giant spider hissed in pain; it stretched out its eight legs and laid down on the ground again. Wang Chao and others also rushed up, brandishing their weapons, preparing to besiege the monster.

The giant spider grew agitated, a glint of savagery flashing in its eyes before it aggressively spat forth a massive silk web, which rained down on everyone. The snow-white web caught five to six people, including Wang Chao, making them unable to move. After Continuous stabbing, one of them was cut through his left chest, his heart was immediately punctured, while the other was disemboweled, and it didn’t like he would survive.

“Damn it!”

Xiao Yu hacked the spider’s head several times but still couldn’t kill it. Instead, he let it murder two of his people right before him. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. When the spider raised its legs again to stab somebody else, he kicked its back and jumped out from the monster’s rear. With a sweep of his blade, he severed the elevated beast’s legs, and it fell down. It struggled in pain, unable to stand up, while thick blood spilled from it.

“go to hell!”

Xiao Yu roared and threw the bone blade again. The gray-white blade got deeply inserted into the head of the giant spider. It got pushed four to five meters, and its huge body fell down; the beast finally died. A wisp of light the size of a ping-pong ball flew out and melted into his body.

Wang Chao finally managed to break free from the spider’s webs. Beside him, a guy died after being pierced through the heart, and another man had his stomach gaping, and his intestines flowed out as he struggled for seconds before dying as well.

A short time later, the corpses of two other people were found in the surrounding grass. Their bodies were rotten, their faces hideous, their eyes wide open but empty, and there was a hole the size of a fist in their heads. The inside of the skull was entirely empty, as their brains had been completely sucked off. Their bone marrow was also damaged; the giant spider drained their spinal cord dry, leaving nothing behind.

Jiang Xiaowen shuddered at the tragic death of those four people, “This monster is so vicious, it actually consumes humans’ brains and spine!”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, “I’ve never seen this kind of spider before. It must have used its silk to drag the night watchmen out of the cave.”

Jiang Xiaowen looked at the four corpses on the ground with a deep and heavy look in her eyes, “I thought everyone would be safe hiding here. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen… Unfortunately, we lost four more people.”

Xiao Yu disagreed with her: “Don’t be stupid; there is no place in this world that is absolutely safe. Although this area does not belong to the territory of any monsters, it doesn’t mean they won’t hunt here. There are too many bodies, and the stench of blood will soon draw more beasts. Go gather some twigs and stones to plug the hole, and let’s hurry back inside.”

Jiang Xiaowen looked at her teammates’ corpses on the ground, “What about them?”

“We have no time to deal with them.” Xiao Yu paused, then continued: “actually, there is no way to deal with them. Even if we bury them under the ground, they will be dug out by some monsters with a keen sense of smell. Just leave them there; at night, there will naturally be something to clean them up.”

Everyone returned to the underground area, and when word spread that monsters had slaughtered four people, the crowd burst into a commotion. The four people who died were all boys, and they were also people with good strength and high courage. This made Xiao Yu feel a slight headache; now, the ratio of males to females in their group has gotten even more out of line.

“Everyone be quiet; I have a few words to say.” Han Kexin stood in front of everyone under Xiao Yu’s guidance and slowly said: “It makes no difference who you were before, how important you were at school or at home, or how much wealth and social standing you held before…all of these have passed. In this world, everyone is equal, and if you want to survive, you must become stronger. So please quit your dependency and forget your fear. We are a group, and if you are weak, you will only hinder everyone else, and then in the end, you will end up being killed and abandoned, nothing more than a pile of rotten flesh just like your dead classmates!”  

“Please, don’t, under any circumstances, ever let your guard down. What occurred today was a cruel lesson.”

Han Kexin had a certain air and aura, as her remarks startled many people. Next, she declared that everyone would receive chocolates and candies in the hopes of removing the shadow of their four deceased comrades.

Jiang Xiaowen and Jin Shi were in charge of distributing the food, while Wang Chao maintained order, and Han Kexin continued to lead others to clear up the skeletons in the tunnels. Things were somehow going on in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yu carefully counted the food in stock: 103 banana-like fruits, 98 green fruits, and a few other types of fruits, 98 pieces of chocolate, approximately 18 catties of candy, and other compressed biscuits, which was enough for a day or two of consumption.
