Chapter 1

A faint light, the soft sound of water droplets falling.

Fang Senyan opened his eyes. Naturally, he would try to sit up, but a sharp pain from his chest made him cry out and fall back down, gasping for breath!

That feeling, the pain of fractured ribs grinding together, made beads of cold sweat pop out on Fang Senyan's forehead. After a long while of panting, he finally calmed down. He tried to regulate his breathing, feeling an elastic cord supporting him from below, yet there was a strange, swing-like suspension. He couldn't help but turn his head to the side, but immediately turned back, closing his eyes to adjust to the slight dizziness.

Below Fang Senyan was still an endless abyss! About fifty meters below, a layer of hazy mist swirled, completely obscuring the bottom. Above him, the same mist concealed the top. Fang Senyan was currently in a giant web. The strands were only finger-thick and seemed to be made of a deep black gel, incredibly strong, and slightly sticky.

About three meters away from Fang Senyan, there was a large hole in the web. It must have been the damage caused by the Demon Statue Knight falling from above. Its terrifying weight had obviously exceeded the web's capacity, so it couldn't enjoy hanging in the air with Fang Senyan.

The air had an indescribable fishy smell. Fang Senyan gritted his teeth and struggled to free his left hand from the web's entanglement, but couldn't manage it. Helpless, he tore off the stuck sleeve. Fortunately, Fang Senyan quickly realized that the web's stickiness seemed particularly effective on fur, while human skin only felt slightly sticky. So, he stripped down to his shorts, clutched his chest, and endured the pain as he slowly moved towards the cliff face.

In the real world, Fang Senyan had seen countless insect husks hanging alone in spiderwebs, the products of spiders anesthetizing and then injecting digestive fluids to suck them dry… like a Coke bottle with all the liquid sucked out… Fang Senyan definitely didn't want that tragic fate to befall him, so he had to leave quickly before the creature that wove this giant spiderweb came to inspect its territory.

The mere twenty meters took Fang Senyan almost ten minutes to crawl, covered in cold sweat, his face pale. This was mainly because of the Demon Statue Knight's brutal frontal impact on his chest. The force of that guy's lance charge was definitely on par with the Mountain Monster's home run!

Normally, Contractors should face such Demon Knights in the bloody chessboard protected by various rules, not in a full-force charge and spear thrust like before. Fang Senyan encountering such a guy in this situation was just plain bad luck.

Fang Senyan finally broke free from the sticky giant web, found a foothold on a protruding part of the towering cliff face, and gasped for breath. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. The feeling was sudden, without warning, like a thousand tiny files stirring in his brain, making his vision darken and his nausea intense. Then, a large swarm of shadows suddenly emerged from the distant mist, swiftly and nimbly rushing like a black storm, howling as they pounced!

But at this moment, the giant spiderweb played a huge role. The black storm that had pounced suddenly veered sharply upwards at high speed, but already scattered and fragmented. Fang Senyan's severe headache immediately eased, and the spiderweb was covered with clumps of black shadows the size of basketballs, constantly flapping, screaming fiercely and desperately.

Fang Senyan looked closely and realized that these black shadows were the vampire bats he had encountered when he first entered! But they were far larger and more ferocious than the ones that had been killed earlier. Some of them had fangs over twenty centimeters long, with dark yellow spots, dripping with sticky fluid, which was awe-inspiring. But no matter how frantically they struggled, the fluff on their bodies was stuck tightly to the highly elastic spider silk. Fang Senyan could take off his clothes and rely on the relatively smooth skin of humans to escape, but they couldn't tear off their skin to escape!

Fang Senyan also realized what had caused his earlier headache. Obviously, these vampire bats were emitting powerful ultrasonic waves to scout when they flew.

When hundreds of bats were added together, the mixed ultrasonic waves formed a powerful attack on Fang Senyan. If he didn't have a high physique and a certain resistance to such attacks, a weaker person like Phil might have fainted directly.

At this moment, the mist below suddenly surged, and then a swift and unparalleled huge black shadow pounced out from it. It didn't seem to be able to fly, but its leaping power was terrifying, leaping like flying on the cliff face! Each jump could reach twenty or thirty meters, and it was silent, like a huge ghost in the darkness.

In just a few tens of seconds, this table-sized black shadow directly pounced onto the wide spiderweb and began to methodically target the hanging vampire bats that looked like laden fruits. Only then did Fang Senyan see clearly that this was a huge spider, with eight incredibly developed long legs and four pairs of black compound eyes on its head, like shining black gems in the dim light. The fluff on its body was like steel needles, mixed together with black and yellow stripes, looking quite similar to a tiger's fur. Its fangs were sharp like hooks, emitting a glimmer at the dark tip, and from time to time, a drop of colorless and transparent liquid would drip from the tip of the fangs, corroding deep pits in the rock.

Strangely, Fang Senyan couldn't feel any threat from this beast-like spider! He even felt safe and peaceful looking at it. Fang Senyan groaned in despair. Although this was the first time he had encountered this situation, in this desperate situation, even a toe could figure it out. Obviously, the terrifying spider's perception was far higher than Fang Senyan's, and it had even begun to mislead Fang Senyan's senses to prevent him from escaping!

Subconsciously, Fang Senyan activated the "Insight" ability, and finally obtained some basic information about it: "Death Breath" (Full Health), Species: Eight-Eyed Giant Spider (Mutation), Tier 3 Legendary Creature.

Lifespan: ??? years Strength: ??? Agility: ??? Constitution: ??? Perception: ??? Charm: ??? Intelligence: ??? Spirit: ??? Base Abilities: 7)-)7 Biological Characteristics: ?????

Introduction: This is a terrifying creature that perfectly combines the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider and the Jumping Spider. It is said to have appeared during the most glorious period of Goblin and Dwarf civilization.

While looking at this series of introductions, Fang Senyan once again felt the key in his mark… Infinte's severed finger… began to heat up. And the terrifying spider "Death Breath" wasn't idle either. It easily used its sharp, huge, terrifying fangs to bite the vampire bats one by one, ending their flapping careers. Its digestive fluid seemed to be exceptionally powerful. It only needed to be injected into the prey's body to take effect immediately, decomposing its flesh and blood into a nutrient-rich liquid for it, and it would quickly suck it clean.

Fang Senyan was originally a rough and straightforward person, but when he thought about being sucked dry by this extremely ferocious guy like a can of Pepsi, his scalp inevitably tingled. He would rather jump down and fall to his death than that!

But he also noticed that the place he was in wasn't a completely sheer cliff. It was possible to climb diagonally downwards. For ordinary people, perhaps only professional climbers with tools could do it, but it wasn't too difficult for Contractors. He couldn't help but feel a surge of desire to survive.

However, as soon as Fang Senyan moved his body, "Death Breath" immediately stopped eating and raised its head. Without any visible movement, it had swiftly clung to the cliff face next to Fang Senyan. The calm darkness seemed to not have even a ripple! Its eight fiery red compound eyes stared fixedly at Fang Senyan's body, but it didn't move, oh, no, it did move its mouth... It was hard to imagine that such a behemoth could make such incredibly agile movements on the extremely steep cliff!

At this critical moment, Fang Senyan suddenly thought of the introduction about Death Breath. He was alone and had no scruples, so he immediately took out the severed finger key from the Nightmare Imprint's personal space and spread it out in his palm!

Instantly, the huge and ferocious legendary creature in front of him immediately showed a lazy and gentle attitude, turned around, and slowly crawled back to its spiderweb to deal with the remaining vampire bats, completely treating Fang Senyan as air.
