Chapter 390

Inside the cavern.

The light of the bonfire flickered irregularly, and occasionally liquid fell from above, falling into the fire, making a 'hissing' sound.

After Wu Xian left.

The remaining four people had been sitting around the bonfire. They were all very hungry and had no chance to chat.

Xia Caoqing lowered her head, one hand grabbing the corner of Huang Debiao's clothes, her expression aggrieved.

Huang Debiao scratched his skin nervously, the sound of nails rubbing against skin somewhat harsh.

The Mad Woman looked very anxious, constantly looking at the place where Wu Xian left, hoping that Wu Xian could bring back some useful things.

Xiong Gang, who was the tallest and most fierce, looked the most unbearable, always shaking his head in surprise, his eyes looking around irregularly, and occasionally wanting to stick to others but being rejected.

The firelight dimmed a bit, and the Mad Woman added a small piece of dry wood in silence.

The dry wood she collected wasn't much, and she let Wu Xian take away a part of it. The remaining firewood could only provide the most basic lighting, making the area around them have faint light, and even the big-eared statue close at hand couldn't be seen clearly.

Every time firewood was added, it brought huge pressure to everyone.

Huang Debiao looked at his watch: "He has been gone for forty-six minutes."

The Mad Woman said dryly: "It hasn't been an hour yet."

Before Wu Xian set off, he wanted to borrow a watch from Huang Debiao.

But Huang Debiao refused flatly, because the cavern side also needed timing. Everyone couldn't grasp Wu Xian's exploration situation, and it was impossible to keep waiting for Wu Xian, so everyone agreed that once Wu Xian didn't return for an hour, they could continue telling stories to light the lantern.

Huang Debiao's tone became excited.

"He definitely can't come back. That tiger followed him away. How can a person who is alone and followed by a tiger survive!"

"You all know, right? There are things outside the firelight. The monster has already sneaked in, lurking in the darkness, just waiting for an opportunity to attack us. We are facing danger at all times..."

Xia Caoqing pulled his sleeve: "The dry wood can still hold on for a while, wait another ten minutes and..."

Huang Debiao waved his arm violently, causing Xia Caoqing to stumble.

"Why wait? That Wu insisted on exploring by himself. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with us!"

Huang Debiao's eyes widened to the limit, his eyes drifted, his mouth opened, looking like he wanted to cry but couldn't, as if he had reached the verge of a mental breakdown.

Xia Caoqing hugged him.

"Calm down, I'm by your side, nothing will happen, we will go out alive."

Xiong Gang and the Mad Woman also looked at Huang Debiao, wanting to encourage him.

But Huang Debiao pushed Xia Caoqing away, his emotions completely collapsed: "Why are you all looking at me? It's not me who has a problem, it's you!"

He first pointed at Xiong Gang: "You said you didn't kill anyone. Who knows if it's true or false? Is the blood on your body really the monster's? Maybe you are the monster!"

Then he scolded the Mad Woman: "Your madness is fake, right? You know how to get out, right? Could it be that we were brought here by you? What kind of conspiracy do you have?"

"Don't be like this..."

Xia Caoqing tried to comfort him, but was grabbed by the shoulder.

"The person with the most problems is you, right? We just got married, isn't it good to enjoy life at home? Why do you have to take me out for hiking? As a result, I encountered this kind of thing. I was killed by you!"

Huang Debiao's mouth didn't stop for a moment, shouting out everything he had been holding back in his heart.

He is just an ordinary person.

In this environment, he couldn't bear the psychological pressure, and shouting out all the negative emotions in his heart helped relieve his own tension. But these accusatory voices stepped heavily on the already collapsing hearts of others, and the psychological pressure increased sharply.

Xia Caoqing squatted on the ground and cried, holding her head.

"Kill you, kill you!"

The Mad Woman took out a dagger from her arms and rushed toward Huang Debiao with a strange cry. If Xiong Gang hadn't pulled her, she would have already stabbed Huang Debiao to death.

In the chaos, two pieces of dried meat fell from the Mad Woman's body.

This made Huang Debiao even more angry. He had long been hungry and had no strength. He didn't expect the Mad Woman to hide food. He wasn't afraid of the knife in the woman's hand either, and angrily pounced toward the Mad Woman.

Rage, accusation, crying, confusion, fear...

Various negative emotions erupted, and the cavern, which had been relatively quiet, instantly became noisy. Everyone's emotional pressure was accumulating, and they didn't notice at all that something was slowly approaching from above.

That was a giant spider hanging down along a spider silk!

This spider was black overall, with regular yellow stripes on its body. Its belly alone was the size of a wheel, and its slender spider legs weren't spread out, so it wasn't known how long they were.

When everyone was arguing, this spider approached quietly, and no one noticed.

Then...

Whoosh! The spider fell suddenly, pouncing on Xia Caoqing who was squatting and crying.

Where the eyes and mouthparts should have been, there was actually a male human head with a long neck. The human head's mouth opened to the maximum, allowing Xia Caoqing to clearly see its oral cavity.

Deep in the oral cavity was not the esophagus, but countless insect mouthparts. These mouthparts turned outward with the peristalsis of the neck muscles, becoming a larger and more terrifying mouth.

"Ah!"

Xia Caoqing let out a shrill scream, dodging the terrifying mouth.

This scream woke up the other three. Xiong Gang hugged the spider violently, actually controlling the spider and pulling it away from Xia Caoqing's body. One person and one spider began to wrestle, and the scene was chaotic and shocking.

Huang Debiao was so scared that he didn't dare to move, and his crotch began to get wet.

The Mad Woman held a small dagger, wanting to help, but the eight huge spider legs flashed wildly, making her unable to get close at all. She could only be anxious on the side, her expression became distorted, and she let out meaningless roars.

Wu Xian had just returned to the cavern.

What he saw was such a distorted scene.

"Wait a while, observe the opportunity to take action. No, someone is going to die immediately. Everyone's story can be exchanged for safe time."

"Use the Iron Tree Silver Flower Curse? No, this spell is an area attack. If used in this situation, they will be killed by me first."

"Let the fat tiger go up? No, the premise of the fat tiger participating in the battle is that I also participate, and I tied many things on it..."

The above is Wu Xian's instantaneous thinking after seeing this scene.

Then he set the action strategy.

To kill this spider quickly, the best way is to stuff the poker card with the 'Iron Tree Silver Flower Curse' into the spider's mouth and trigger the spell from the inside.

For this, he needs to get close to this spider! So Wu Xian ran, rushed to the Mad Woman's side, grabbed her dagger, dodged the big spider's spider legs, and the expression on his face began to become ferocious.

Pfft!

The dagger successfully stabbed into the spider's brow center.

The spider's body shook and fell to the ground with a boom...
