Chapter 2229

The Dragon-Hunting Spider's gaze shifted, looking at Shang Leng Yue. Shang Leng Yue took a deep breath, came to the nearby wooden wall, cut her finger, and began to outline on it with bloodstains.

Shang Leng Yue's memory was quite good; she remembered the circular mark Su Xiao had just drawn, which was just over ten seconds to outline.

However, nothing happened, and the Dragon-Hunting Spider was already somewhat impatient.

Puchi!

The Dragon-Hunting Spider's carapace leg pierced through Shang Leng Yue's lower abdomen and tossed her into the wooden door. Shang Leng Yue, who held back from screaming, disappeared into the darkness.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider shifted its gaze again, looking at Nita.

"So that's how it is."

The female spellcaster Di Lin clearly thought of something, but it wasn't her turn yet.

"Give a hint, hey! I..."

Puchi!

The carapace leg pierced through Nita's body, and blood splashed.

"Ah!"

The flesh and blood were torn by the barbs on the carapace leg. Nita screamed and was tossed into the wooden door, life or death unknown.

"Thank you."

Di Lin blinked at Su Xiao. She came to the wooden wall and began to outline the mark.

In reality, the test in the initial stage of the Death House wasn't difficult; it was mainly a test of insight, analytical ability, and memory. Of course, it also required some reasoning ability.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider wasn't an enemy. On the contrary, its duty was to be responsible for guiding the way and assisting the death game participants to pass through the wooden corridor. The transparent worms in this wooden corridor were quite dangerous; a slight touch would mean dying there.

There was a hint on the Dragon-Hunting Spider, which was the 'Life · Death' two characters on its carapace leg.

When Su Xiao first arrived at the Death House, he was sitting on a metal chair. There was a circular mark on the armrest of the seat, and there were six small characters below it.

'No regrets in life, no hatred in death.'

It seemed to be a sigh left by someone, but in reality, it was a hint, related to the 'Life · Death' two characters on the Dragon-Hunting Spider's carapace leg.

To let the Dragon-Hunting Spider guide the way, one needed to pay a 'toll', and the circular mark on the seat armrest was the toll.

Consume recoverable vitality (HP), using the circular mark as a medium, to 'purchase' emerald green fruit from the Death House.

And this fruit was the reward for the Dragon-Hunting Spider. This guy was a glutton. If it couldn't eat the 'emerald green fruit', it would vent its anger after guiding the way in vain, severely injuring or directly killing the death game participants before tossing them into the 'Maze of the Dead'.

As for after giving the emerald green fruit, the Dragon-Hunting Spider signaled Su Xiao to wait first.

With Su Xiao's demonstration, Di Lin thought of the meaning of the 'Life · Death' two characters. As for the pattern on the seat armrest, she had only glanced at it before, but that was enough.

Soon, a triangular mark was outlined by Di Lin with bloodstains, but no branches and leaves appeared on the wooden wall. Instead, the wooden wall cracked, and a vertical pupil could be seen in the pitch-black gap, staring at Di Lin.

"Hmm, something went wrong somewhere."

Di Lin looked at the Dragon-Hunting Spider with her peripheral vision. The Dragon-Hunting Spider's reaction made her spine feel cold.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider didn't pounce; it was leaning against the opposite wooden wall, staying as far away from Di Lin as possible.

"What exactly went wrong?"

Di Lin looked at Su Xiao, wanting Su Xiao to mock her and conveniently tell her what exactly went wrong, but Su Xiao didn't have this habit.

Now, except for her head and neck, Di Lin had lost sensation in her whole body.

A pitch-black little hand reached out from the crack in the wooden wall, grabbing Di Lin. The next moment, at least a hundred pitch-black little hands grabbed her, dragging her into the crack.

"Damn it!"

Di Lin was forcibly dragged into the wooden wall.

The circular mark Su Xiao outlined just now slowly dissipated. This thing had to be drawn backward. Drawing it forward represented life, and drawing it backward represented death.

When outlining the formation, one needed to consume 'recoverable vitality', which was the 30% HP Su Xiao just consumed.

Vitality is the 'life attribute', and the mark needs to represent the 'death attribute', which is drawing it backward. This also fits the 'Life · Death' two characters on the Dragon-Hunting Spider's leg. This is both a hint and represents life attribute + death attribute, which can then trade with the Death House.

And Di Lin produced two 'life attributes', which couldn't trade with the Death House and attracted a certain existence residing in the Death House.

"Quite simple."

Baja landed on Su Xiao's shoulder. It and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, as Su Xiao's followers, in principle didn't need to obtain emerald green fruit, but Su Xiao prepared to let them try.

Just now, Shang Leng Yue used Su Xiao's circular mark to experiment, but failed because every person's seat had a different mark. For example, Su Xiao's was circular, while Di Lin's was triangular.

Soon, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja both outlined marks with bloodstains. As Su Xiao guessed, as his followers, Xiang Bubu and Baja could both share the circular mark.

Branches and leaves grew from the wooden wall, finally bearing two emerald green fruits the size of apples. Su Xiao held one in each hand.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider looked straight at Su Xiao. Su Xiao ignored it.

It seemed to notice that Su Xiao wouldn't give the emerald green fruit to it, so the Dragon-Hunting Spider flipped its body, eight spider legs facing up, twitched twice, and stopped moving.

This glutton was actually performing a fake death for Su Xiao in order to eat the emerald green fruit.

Su Xiao tossed the emerald green fruit in his left hand. The Dragon-Hunting Spider sprang up directly from the ground, and while in mid-air, swallowed the emerald green fruit in one bite.

Before it even landed, Su Xiao tossed the second one. The moment the Dragon-Hunting Spider landed, it appeared directly on the wooden wall on the left, its big mouth opened, and the emerald green fruit flew into its mouth.

After eating three emerald green fruits, the Dragon-Hunting Spider looked somewhat lazy. It retracted the stinging hairs on its legs and came to Su Xiao's side. Seeing this, Su Xiao leaped onto the Dragon-Hunting Spider's back, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja did the same.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider came to the wooden wall, and the carapace leg engraved with the 'Life · Death' two characters probed into the groove of the wooden wall.

Click~

The mechanism operated, and the ground slowly opened a piece, revealing a passage slanting downward.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider suddenly vanished from its spot. Its speed was simply too fast, carrying Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Baja as it rushed into the passage.

Su Xiao stood on the Dragon-Hunting Spider's back. Although it was pitch black ahead, he heard hurried fleeing sounds. Without the Dragon-Hunting Spider's escort, he would have to deal with these creatures in the darkness himself.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider ran extremely fast, much faster than when Su Xiao opened his full speed. Just like this, it ran for nearly twenty minutes before the passage came to an end.

After passing the passage, there was another wooden corridor, and on the inner side of the wooden corridor, there was a golden door. The golden door was about 5 meters high and double-opening.

The Dragon-Hunting Spider carried Su Xiao forward and pushed open the golden door with two carapace legs, entering a gorgeous banquet hall. The banquet hall that Pain Queen Anna mentioned before had arrived.

Su Xiao leaped down from the Dragon-Hunting Spider's back. The banquet hall was about a thousand square meters, and in the center was a huge round banquet table, which was empty.

Su Xiao sat on the sofa in front of the wall. As for the Dragon-Hunting Spider, this guy was guarding the golden door boredly. Other death game participants didn't lose their qualifications. No matter which path they took, they would arrive in front of the golden door and could only enter the banquet hall after passing the Dragon-Hunting Spider's second test.

Su Xiao had just prepared to lean on the sofa to rest for a while when space fluctuations appeared, and Pain Queen Anna appeared.

Anna had just appeared when a clear surprise appeared on her face. Although it was only for a moment, she had just gone to deal with some things. The original plan was that she would wait for the participants in the banquet hall, but Su Xiao had arrived at the banquet hall faster than her and even brought the Dragon-Hunting Spider.
