How to describe it…
Seeing the Red Spider precisely up close, from a first-person perspective, Zhou Jie was stunned.
A towering physique, coiled muscles, long, shaggy hair, and crimson eyes – it was the very image of a savage.
If not for the shackles around its neck, Zhou Jie would have instinctively fled.
Whether it was the oppressive aura or the sheer deterrence, it was far more intense than any of the elite monsters encountered before!
Its mere appearance made Zhou Jie contemplate retreat.
“Friends… we have the assembly hardware for the cybernetic arm, how about we… upgrade it first before challenging this behemoth?”
Zhou Jie looked towards the barrage of comments for help, a wronged expression on her face: “This thing is just too big, I can’t take it.”
‘This is clearly a beginner-repelling monster, serving the same purpose as Guardian Ape!’
‘Don’t be a coward, Zhou Jie, did you forget what you just said?’
‘Hesitation leads to defeat!’
…
“Yes!”
“We can’t be cowards!”
Reinvigorated by the encouragement from the comments, Zhou Jie was pumped, “Hesitation leads to defeat!”
“As long as I fight decisively enough, I have a chance to defeat all strong enemies!”
“Charge!”
Zhou Jie shouted, brandishing her long sword and charging towards the Red Spider that patrolled back and forth beside the staircase!
“Roar oh!!!”
Seeing the petite Zhou Jie, the Red Spider roared, then suddenly extended its arms, resembling those of a gibbon.
It opened, then embraced.
*Pfft—!!*
Like a watermelon bursting, a teeth-grinding explosion echoed through the livestream.
[Scrap]
‘A bit perverted!’
‘Embrace killer, love it, love it.’
‘This t/
Most importantly, up to this point, she had absolutely no strategy.
Previously, when facing enemies wielding cold weapons, she could at least parry and block, but against the Red Spider, which fought bare-handed, parrying was completely ineffective.
As long as it locked onto her, it would finish off any living creature in its path with the most brutal methods.
The Red Spider’s moves weren’t many, even simple, just basic hand-to-hand combat like kicks, grabs, and slams.
But when these simple movements were imbued with a thousand pounds of force, any basic action became a deadly finishing blow.
After several attempts, each ending in death, and with no progress made, the viewers were starting to feel uneasy.
‘So pathetic, every time it’s a bloody, explosive, brutal kill.’
‘Praise Sekiro, I want to recommend it to every classmate I don’t like!’
‘The person upstairs is truly a devil!’
‘Classmate: Thank you for your kindness.’
‘Can the streamer still hold on? How about upgrading your strength first? You haven’t upgraded your arm yet, it’s no different than going in naked.’
‘Exactly, why don’t we wait for someone else to release a guide first?’
…
Although Zhou Jie appeared cheerful and carefree on the surface, inwardly she was a very stubborn person. Coupled with being constantly defeated, which was starting to get to her, she decisively rejected the viewers’ suggestions.
“Friends, don’t worry, I can still handle it.”
Zhou Jie forced a smile, “Fighting the Red Spider requires good positioning. Otherwise, being grabbed by this gibbon…”
“Ow, fuck your dad’s Red Spider!”
Before she could finish speaking, in the game, Zhou Jie made a misstep and was grabbed by the ankle by the lunging Red Spider.
What followed was the infamous scene from (the Hulk-Loki-Iron Man office).
*Bang bang bang!!*
The viewers in front of the screen cringed, covering their eyes with their hands, then peeking through a slight gap.
Zhou Jie was tossed around like a toy by the Red Spider, her bones scattered after a few slams.

At first,
Zhou Jie could maintain her composure, even chatting and laughing with her viewers.
Gradually,
as the number of deaths increased, the glaring [Scrap] after each death felt like a naked mockery from the designer.
After that,
after several more deaths, Zhou Jie spoke much less.
…
By the time the viewers couldn’t even count her deaths, Zhou Jie fell silent, her expression unusually serious.
The bright red [Scrap] felt like a taunting toy; with each appearance, Zhou Jie’s expression grew colder by a degree.
The audience in the stream also gradually noticed Zhou Jie’s change and asked with concern:
‘No way, no way, Zhou Jie isn’t going to break down, is she?’
‘Impossible, my Zhou Jie is a woman who has experienced real battles, how could she be easily upset… break down, never mind!’
‘It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Zhou Jie wear such a serious expression; I remember the last time it was when facing Master Sekiro.’
‘I feel like Zhou Jie is being a bit too stubborn, she could swallow her pride and go back to upgrade her arm before challenging again.’
‘Uh oh, the streamer is about to overheat!’
‘Fighting this monster feels so scary and nerve-wracking…’
‘The Red Spider is a true repellant!’
‘Soulsborne players say it’s indeed challenging… the Red Spider is really hard to kill… for those who die a lot, I suggest waiting, there are usually tricks to it.’
‘I don’t think it’s just about being decisive and brave; being a bit cautious at the right time might yield unexpected results.’
