Chapter 268 - 188: Discovery and Cooperation
"Li Yi, the battle is over; take a rest," Lin Yue said, approaching with slightly labored breaths. She patted Li Yi’s shoulder and asked, "How are you, did you get hurt?"
Li Yi’s vertical pupils glistened, his boiling Qi-Blood yet to calm, and he frowned, "Something’s not right."
"What’s not right?" Lin Yue inquired.
Li Yi explained, "These Spider Monsters are numerous, but during our fight, not a single one tried to escape, which is quite illogical. I’ve encountered Spider Monsters in the danger zone before, back then it was a Cultivator named Brother Tao leading us. Brother Tao discovered a Spider-man in an abandoned building and fought with it. In the end, the Spider-man was injured and fled."
"This indicates that the Spider Monsters are intelligent, know fear, and won’t blindly attack to the death."
"Right, with the strength we’ve shown, in a situation where these creatures know they can’t win, they would most likely avoid us and scatter, run away. The instinct for survival is something every creature possesses," Lin Yue also furrowed her brows in thought. "Li Yi, are you suggesting that these Spider Monsters are so fearless in their attacks because there’s another reason for it?"
"Exactly, I suspect that these Spider Monsters are following some command to throw themselves at us so recklessly... and the only reason worth such a sacrifice by the Spider Monsters is just one."
Li Yi’s gaze shifted slightly, looking towards the end of the street.
"The mother of the Spider Monsters must be nearby."
