Chapter 774: Wei Wei In Danger!

Chapter 776: Wei Wei In Danger!

A huge venomous spider was crouching within its dense spider’s webs. It was covered in grey fur and almost the size of four grown men. It also had two tiny eyes on its head, while its eight legs were bent into position, constantly ready to attack its prey. Its head and torso occupied half of its body, while its obese abdomen complete the rest of its oblong body. Four pairs of agile legs scampered toward Helian Wei Wei as its narrow ruby eyes glimmered ravenously.

Only then, Helian Wei Wei realized that she was not in a tunnel, but the nest of the spider in front of her.

Those who understood spiders would know that it was impossible to escape once trapped in its lair, no matter how capable one was, particularly if the opponent was a venomous spider.

Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes, as she held her left shoulder and stood up with great effort. However, her clothes were stained red with blood, and she could clearly see the spider hungrily drooling at her.

These low-level demons that were evolved from animals, were different from high-level devils who were born with magic. Therefore, they did not possess any hints of human decency, or even the table manners that were highly valued by devils.

This one preferred the thrill of tearing its prey apart, just like other venomous spiders.

It would gain more pleasure if its human prey were dreadfully mutilated.

The venomous spider stuck out its tongue and licked its lips. As it did so, a deep voice resonated sinisterly in Helian Wei Wei’s ear, “What an unexpected find, a pregnant woman who was daring enough to enter this royal tomb. It’s been 500 years but I’ll never forget the distinct sweet taste of fetuses. After all, unborn flesh and blood are the freshest and tenderest meat.”

The black spider approached Helian Wei Wei as it spoke, the surrounding spider webs swaying with every step it took.

Helian Wei Wei felt something tightened around her ankle, and was hit by a pang of excruciating pain when a string of silver thread bound her left leg.

She could even hear the sound of her dislocated joints. D*mn it!

She cursed under her breath, as her vision was blurred by the blood that had streamed down from her forehead into the corner of her eyes. However, she remained still as she knew that the more she struggled in a spider web, the tighter it would become. It did not concern her much if her limbs were injured, as long as her babies were unharmed.

At the same time, Helian Wei Wei was observing her opponent’s weakness as she thought of this.

After all, she was a mercenary. Even if she had lost the martial Qi, finding a way to annihilate her opponent was still her priority, when she ran into danger.

This time, however, her opponent was a spider that was five times her size and deadly venomous. She would be at its mercy if she was not careful.

Helian Wei Wei knew that staying alert was the most crucial part of this situation.

The venomous spider was still immersed in its fantasy. With the tip of its tongue, it grazed the blood that was delivered to it by its thread. Instantly, its bright scarlet pupils dilated into a thin line, saying, “I’d never thought that I’d find such a fine prey! You may not possess any spiritual aura, but you taste far better than any exorcist that I’d have ever devoured. What an unexpected catch!”

Upon finishing its words, the venomous spider’s hideous face became unusually excited. Pungent gas flared out of its nostrils, while its sharp pincers were dying to tear the human in front of it to pieces!

The venomous spider chuckled hysterically. However, when it sensed the lack of terror its human prey, the spider kept its guard up and taunted, “Woman, you are indeed one of the smarter humans that I have met. It has been so many years but no one can figure out my spider webs, except you. However, it’s better for you to abandon your plans and stop struggling!”

Helian Wei Wei pursed her thin lips tightly, as the agonizing pain ran through her limbs. Her pale yet dazzling face was painted in blood, but she did not show any sign of emotions. However, her clear eyes were smeared red by the blood that had dripped down her forehead.

It’s better if I keep talking to buy some time.

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes slowly focussed on the venomous spider that was approaching her. However, her mind was racing as she casually said, “I didn’t sense your scent before I fell, and we didn’t trigger any form of traps. So, it’s impossible for us to fall down so suddenly, unless there were some hidden triggers that we couldn’t see. Even so, somebody would need to operate it. However, we were the only people in the tunnel and you weren’t there… Do you mean to say that you have an ally among the exorcists?”

“You’re smart, indeed.” The venomous spider squinted and snarled, “Yet, it’s a shame that you humans are always so easily tempted. Haha, since you’re about to die, I don’t mind breaking it to you. Someone among the exorcists is contaminated by the aura of resentment, and could easily be manipulated by demons. The other magical beings here might not have noticed it, but I’ve been residing in this royal tomb for over a millennium. Thus, I’m especially sensitive toward these kinds of humans. Besides, one of you is not a living human anymore. Since all of you’re going to die, it’s better to let me do the honors.”

Helian Wei Wei did not thoroughly analyze the meaning behind the venomous spider’s words, because her mind was only focussed on stalling the time. Hence, she continued to question it, “If you want nothing but to eat me, wouldn’t it be better for you to just show up in the tunnel and swallowed me whole instead? Why waste your time manipulating humans and playing hide and seek in the dark? Could it be that you’re afraid of us?”

“Afraid?” The venomous spider snickered mockingly, as if it had heard a preposterous joke. Then, it replied, “I’ll acknowledge that the man by your side was exceptionally powerful. If we really fought, I might not lose. However, I prefer to wait for my prey to fall into my web. Also, save your breath, if you think that you could buy some time so that man could come and save you! He would need to cross the entire royal tomb to reach this place that you fell from. Unless he could blast through all the stone walls, it would take him at least six hours to reach you, no matter how fast he is. Yet by then, not even your bones would be left! Woman, I already told you to keep your tricks to yourself. I’m usually not interested in eating normal humans like you, because you have no spiritual aura like those exorcists. However, now that I think of it, eating you after slicing your belly open doesn’t seem like a bad idea, after all.”

With that, the venomous spider licked its lips again. Unlike other animals, the sound it made was similar to the sound that was created when it spewed silk.

The eerie sound echoed in the dark, empty cave and was skull-numbingly terrifying. If someone else had fallen in here instead, they would probably become numb in fear.

However, Helian Wei Wei simply concentrated on finding a solution. She had an exquisite silver gun hidden away under her right long sleeve, but she was hesitant to shoot the venomous spider. She might endanger herself if its venomous blood squirted all over her, and she needed to wait till it was close enough, so that she could shoot its fatal spot!
