Chapter 374: Old Land, New Connections
Keeping pace with Gong, as she crawls faster and faster throughout the tunnels, turns out to be a surprisingly tough thing to do.
Despite her size, she’s always been fast. Now, with cultivation and the movement techniques I sent over earlier, she moves even faster. Far faster than I.
Yeah, she's certainly slowing down for my sake.
With our current speed, it only takes a minute or two before we reach a terrifying sight in the tunnel.
Floor to ceiling spiders.
While we passed the occasional caravan of spiders, the sight before me was unlike anything I had seen before. There isn’t even 10 centimeters of open space within this writhing horde of arachnids.
And from what my scan is telling me, this level of mass occupies 300 meters of this particular tunnels, with other tunnel shoots having similar masses.
Okay. Even if I’ve started to get used to spiders, this is still a bit much for me. Especially since it appears I only control a few of the spiders here. The rest is all Gong’s.
Together we slow down just before entering the mass, but still moving faster than a normal human being could. Gong takes the first step inside and the mass rapidly moves around her and I to form a bubble around us. With each step we take, the bubble shifts.
