Chapter 390 Collapse and Spiders

Inside the cave.

The light from the campfire flickered irregularly, and occasionally liquid fell from above into the fire, making a hissing sound.

After Wu Xian left.

The remaining four people sat around the campfire. They were all very hungry and had no chance to chat.

Xia Caoqing lowered his head, grasping the corner of Huang Debiao's clothes with one hand, with an aggrieved expression.

Huang Debiao scratched his skin nervously, and the sound of his nails rubbing against flesh was a bit harsh.

The crazy woman was very anxious and kept looking towards the place where Wu Xian left, hoping that Wu Xian could bring back something useful.

Xiong Gang, the tallest and most powerful one, looked the most miserable. He was always shaking his head in shock, his eyes darting around randomly, and occasionally wanted to stick close to others but was always rejected.

The firelight dimmed a little, and the crazy woman silently added a small piece of dry wood.

The dry firewood she collected was not much to begin with, and she let Wu Xian take away some of it. The remaining firewood could only provide the most basic lighting, giving them a faint light around them. They couldn't even see the big-eared statue that was so close to them.

Every time firewood is added, it brings huge pressure to everyone.

Huang Debiao checked his watch: "He has been gone for forty-six minutes."

The crazy woman said dryly, "It hasn't been an hour yet."

Before Wu Xian set off, he wanted to borrow a watch from Huang Debiao.

But Huang Debiao flatly refused, because time was also needed in the cave. No one could know when Wu Xian was out exploring, and it was impossible for them to wait for him all the time. So everyone agreed that if Wu Xian did not come back for an hour, they could continue telling stories and lighting lanterns.

Huang Debiao's tone became excited.

"He definitely won't be able to come back. The tiger followed him. How could a lone person survive if he was followed by a tiger?"

"You all know that there is something beyond the firelight. The monster has sneaked in and is lurking in the darkness, just waiting for the opportunity to attack us. We are in danger all the time..."

Xia Caoqing pulled his sleeve and said, "The dry firewood can still hold out for a while. Just wait another ten minutes or so..."

Huang Debiao swung his arm violently, causing Xia Caoqing to stagger.

"Why should we wait? That Wu guy insisted on exploring on his own. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with us!"

Huang Debiao's eyes were widened to the limit, his gaze was wandering, and his mouth was open, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, as if he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Xia Caoqing hugged him.

"Calm down, I'm right here with you, everything will be fine, we'll get out of this alive."

Xiong Gang and the crazy woman also looked at Huang Debiao, wanting to encourage him.

But Huang Debiao pushed Xia Caoqing away and broke down emotionally: "Why are you all looking at me? The problem is not with me, but with you!"

He first pointed at Xiong Gang and said, "You said you didn't kill anyone, but who knows if it's true or not? Is the blood on your body really from a monster? Maybe you are a monster!"

Then he yelled at the crazy woman: "You are pretending to be crazy, right? You know how to get out, right? Maybe you are the one who brought us here? What is your conspiracy?"

"do not do that……"

Xia Caoqing tried to comfort her, but he grabbed her shoulders.

"You are the one with the most problems. We just got married. Isn't it good for us to enjoy life at home? Why did you have to take me out hiking? As a result, we encountered something like this. You are the one who killed me!"

Huang Debiao kept talking and shouted out everything that was in his heart.

He's just an ordinary person.

In this environment, he could not bear the psychological pressure, and yelling out all the negative emotions in his heart helped to relieve his own tension. However, these accusatory voices stepped hard on the other people's already nearly collapsed state of mind, causing the psychological pressure to surge.

Xia Caoqing squatted on the ground, holding her head and crying.

"Kill you, kill you!"

The crazy woman took out a dagger from her arms and rushed towards Huang Debiao with a strange cry. If Xiong Gang had not held her back, she would have stabbed Huang Debiao to death.

In the chaos, two pieces of dried meat fell out of the crazy woman's body.

This made Huang Debiao even more angry. He was already too hungry to have any strength left, but he didn't expect that the crazy woman still had food hidden. He was not afraid of the knife in the woman's hand and pounced on her angrily.

Rage, accusations, crying, confusion, fear...

All kinds of negative emotions broke out, and the originally quiet cave suddenly became noisy. Everyone's emotional pressure was accumulating, and no one noticed that something was slowly approaching from above.

It was a huge spider hanging down along the spider silk!

The spider is black in color with regular yellow stripes on its body. Its belly alone is as big as a wheel, and its slender legs are not spread out, so it is unknown how long it is.

While everyone was arguing, the spider approached quietly without anyone noticing.

then……

Wow!
The spider suddenly fell down and pounced on Xia Caoqing who was squatting and crying.

Where the eyes and mouthparts should be, there was actually a male head with a long neck. The mouth of the head was opened as wide as possible, allowing Xia Caoqing to clearly see his oral cavity.

Deep in the mouth is not the esophagus, but the mouthparts of countless insects. These mouthparts are turned outward as the neck muscles wriggle, turning into a larger and more terrifying mouth.

"what!"

Xia Caoqing let out a shrill scream and dodged the terrifying mouth.

The scream woke the other three people up. Xiong Gangmeng hugged the spider and actually controlled it, pulling it away from Xia Caoqing's body. The man and the spider began to wrestle. The scene was chaotic and shocking.

Huang Debiao was so frightened that he dared not move, and his crotch began to wet.

The crazy woman held a small dagger and wanted to help, but the eight huge spider legs flashed around, making it impossible for her to get close. She could only stand aside and worry, her expression distorted and she made meaningless roars.

Wu Xian just returned to the cave.

This is the distorted picture you see.

"Wait for a while and watch for an opportunity to escape. No, someone is going to die soon. Everyone's story can buy some safety time."

"Use the Iron Tree and Silver Flower Curse? No, this curse is a range attack. If I use it in this situation, they will be killed by me first."

"Let Fat Tiger go? No, Fat Tiger's participation in the battle requires me to participate, and I have tied many things to him..."

The above is Wu Xian’s instantaneous thoughts after seeing this scene.

Then he decided on a strategy of action.

If you want to kill this spider quickly, the best way is to stuff a playing card with the 'Iron Tree and Silver Flower Curse' printed on it into the spider's mouth to trigger the curse inside.

To do this he needs to get close to the spider!
So Wu Xian ran, rushed to the crazy woman, snatched her dagger, dodged the spider's legs, and his expression began to become ferocious.

puff!

The dagger successfully pierced the spider's forehead.

The spider's body shook, and then it fell to the ground with a bang...
