Chapter 98: Tiny Hands and Trembling Hearts
Suddenly, an eerie silence fell over the area as the massive body of the black widow spider crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Everyone was stunned and terrified as they stared at the massive corpse of the mutated black spider that had terrorized them just moments ago. Its body lay unmoving on the blood-soaked ground, thick black fluid oozing from its many wounds. Its head was cracked open by itself and was bleeding heavily with dark blood.
No one dared to speak and question anything as most of them were too injured to even question what was happening. Only Zhou Yinuo and Liang Zihan simply stood there with terrified expressions. Just what happened? Did the massive spider die just like that... or was it another trap to lure the humans in?
But what about that one final screech that echoed in their ears before it had collapsed? It did not look fake at all. It was really filled with agony and pain. But whether it was enough to take the life of the spider, they did not know.
After all, how can a massive mutated black widow spider die just like that?
Both looked at each other, their faces still pale from fear and exhaustion, before slowly, cautiously stepping toward the spider’s body to confirm it was truly gone. In their haste and nervousness, they even forgot to look at the child who was staring blankly at the dead body of the spider before he finally stood up on his little legs and started walking.
At one corner, Liora wanted to move too. She wanted to see it for herself—to know that the nightmare was finally over. But her body wouldn’t listen. Or whether her power could truly see someone’s life and death... she wanted to confirm it.
But she lay there on the cracked ground, surrounded by a pool of her own blood. Her limbs refused to move, her strength completely drained. Every inch of her body pulsed with unbearable sharp pain, like her bones were being crushed from within.
The system’s voice echoed faintly in her head.
[Warning: Host’s health is deteriorating rapidly. It is advised to take a healing potion.]
Liora tried to respond, to move even a finger, but her muscles trembled with weakness. Her vision blurred, the edges of the world beginning to fade. Still, she willed herself to focus and summoned a Level 1 potion from her inventory.
