Chapter 346: Huang Yongyu’s Escape…
Running through the rainbow crown tree forest with a giant blue spider following closely behind him, Huang Yongyu didn’t think anything could get worse as he unknowingly stumbled upon what could only be described as a den of blue spider demon beasts. Having gathered together to have a feast of some sort.
“…”
Freezing for a short moment as he looked at the dozen or so blue spider demon beasts at the Foundation Establishment all around him, Huang Yongyu did not want to wait for them to wake up again. Running even faster than before as he dashed past one of the blue spiders having frozen up just like him.
The den of blue spider demon beasts all looked around themselves with a confused expression plastered all over their faces.
It was only when the blue spider demon beast already chasing after Huang Yongyu arrived that the other blue spiders woke up and looked towards it for answers.
The blue spider produced a vibration, which hit the surrounding dried leaves cover the ground, causing them to vibrate.
Purr purr~
The vibrating leaves on the ground produced a low ‘purring’ sound audible for anyone walking past to hear, and that sound travelled through the dried leaves on the ground to the other blue spider demon beasts standing around
The leaves themselves served as a sort of medium through which the blue spiders communicated with each other. Instead of using an organ to produce a sound, the blue spider demon beasts would instead vibrate inanimate objects around them to communicate with each other.
Purr purr~
The other blue spider seemed to have gotten the message as one of them answered back the blue spider demon beast that had been chasing after Huang Yongyu.
Whoosh~
And just like that, Huang Yongyu now had over a dozen blue spiders at the Foundation Establishment Realm chasing after him instead of just a single one…
…
“Haha, to think Huang Yongyu ended up in such a situation, I wonder if he will be able to get here before the spider catches up with him, hehe…” Laughing a bit to himself when he heard about Huang Yongyu being chased by a spider at the Third Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chu Yang did not feel too worried.
After all, Huang Yongyu was someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm as well and he should at the very least be able to stay alive. Even if the blue spider caught up with him!
“I really hate spiders…” Standing just beside Chu Yang, Qing Yi shivered a bit at the thought of the giant blue spider chasing after Huang Yongyu.
“Junior brother Chu Yang, can you deal with the spider, I’m not really too good with those sorts of things…”
Saying this, Qing Yi looked pleadingly at Chu Yang. Clearly not too happy about the idea of having to deal with any creepy crawlers…
“No problem, it’s only a single spider at the Third Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Nothing too difficult!”
Rolling his eyes upon seeing the slightly scared look on Qing Yi’s face, Chu Yang accepted her request without any problem.
In the first place, he at the very least managed to find out that his senior sister was not good with spiders… Maybe he could use that in the future…
Rustle~
“RUN!”
Just as Chu Yang had agreed to deal with the spider, Huang Yongyu burst out through a nearby bush as he screamed at them before running past them without slowing down in the slightest.
“”Hm?””
Both Chu Yang and Qing Yi blinked their eyes in confusion upon seeing this. Not understanding why they needed to run.
Rustle~
It was only a short moment later Chu Yang and Qing Yi understood the reason why Huang Yongyu had told them to run as a massive number of blue spiders suddenly appeared from the same direction as Huang Yongyu.
“Eeeek!”
To say both of them were shocked would be an understatement, as Qing Yi screamed fearfully at the giant blue spider demon beasts making their way over in her and Chu Yang’s direction before running after Huang Yongyu who was about to disappear in the distance.
“Wha-?!”
Chu Yang was equally speechless upon seeing the massive number of spider as he soon caught up with the escaping Qing Yi and Huang Yongyu.
“What in the world happened? How come there are so many spiders?! Didn’t you say it was just one at the Third Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?!”
Calling out to Huang Yongyu, Chu Yang didn’t understand how a single blue spider at the Foundation Establishment Realm had suddenly transformed into at least a hundred blue spider demon beasts at the Foundation Establishment Realm!
And even worse, Chu Yang could clearly feel the aura of at least three Core Formation Realm demon beasts appear in the back of the horde of blue spider demon beasts!
How in the world did Huang Yongyu manage to attract the attention of so many blue spider demon beasts? Did he perhaps steal the treasure of some underground blue spider kingdom?
“It’s not what you think! I merely stumbled upon a den of a dozen or so blue spiders while running and then…”
Listening to Huang Yongyu retell his story about how he had ended up offending over a hundred blue spiders at the Foundation Establishment Realm along with at least three at the Core Formation Realm, both Chu Yang and Qing Yi suddenly felt like just throwing him to blue spiders and escape by themselves.
In essence, Huang Yongyu’s story boiled down to a simple point of him stumbling into one nest of blue spiders after the other.
How had he ended up offending three Core Formation Realm blue spiders? Well… Along the way, Huang Yongyu had suddenly found himself running through an underground tunnel into a large nest of blue spiders… Inside that nest…
“… I accidently stepped on this little one and all the blue spiders suddenly became even more determined to chase after me!”
Finishing his story, Huang Yongyu pulled out the corpse of a small blue spider the size of a small puppy with a small pink crown birthmark on its forehead.
Worst of all, in the middle part of its body, a clear boot mark could be seen where Huang Yongyu had stepped on the puppy sized blue spider and caused its early demise…
“”…””
Why do you even carry that with you…?
Not even bother to ask this question, both Qing Yi and Chu Yang looked helplessly at each other at the same time, both understanding the reason why so many blue spiders were chasing after Huang Yongyu.
“Should we just throw him to the spiders?” Qing Yi suggested with an expressionless look on her face.
“Please don’t joke like that! I swear it was an accident!”
“Who said I was joking…?”
“…”
Feeling himself shiver when he was met with the unfamiliar expressionless look of Qing Yi, Huang Yongyu had no idea what to say, he clearly knew that the reason for their current situation was all his fault and while Chu Yang and Qing Yi were strong, there was no way for them to deal with the blue spiders growing closer to them with each passing second.
“Stop it, Qing Yi, we shouldn’t just go about throwing someone to the spiders… Even if they deserve it… There is a large group up there, let’s see if they can help us!” Stopping Qing Yi before she did something to Huang Yongyu, Chu Yang calmed down the situation as he pointed towards a large group of people barely visible in the distance.
“That is… The Ghost Howl Sect!? Weren’t they supposed to start their expedition tomorrow at dawn?! Why are they suddenly out here now!?” Seeing the emblem on the people moving at the front were wearing, Huang Yongyu could not help exclaiming in a surprised voice.
“The Ghost Howl Sect… Maybe we can use this, Huang Yongyu, hand over that corpse to me for a moment!”
“Sure?”
Not understanding what Chu Yang wanted to do, Huang Yongyu obediently handed the corpse of the small blue spider over to Chu Yang with a confused look on his face.
“Use you fastest speed possible! We are running straight past the Ghost Howl Sect’s people!” Informing Qing Yi and Huang Yongyu, Chu Yang soon ran ahead of both of them as he appeared only a few hundred meters away from the large group of people.
Whoosh~
Under the surprised looks from the people of the Ghost Howl Sect, Chu Yang threw the corpse of the small puppy sized blue spider to a handsome young man sitting at a majestic chair being carried by a group of people located in the front of the expedition force of the Ghost Howl Sect before disappearing into the forest.
“”…””
Qing Yi and Huang Yongyu didn’t say anything as they both followed closely behind Chu Yang before any of the people from the Ghost Howl Sect managed to react.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
PurpleSpring
Main inspiration for our dear spiders were wolf spiders. Did not know this before looking into it, but apperently they can make a communicate with each other through vibrations of inanimate objects. The purring sound is from a male wolf spider’s courtship of a female wolf spider. Look up “Purr of a Wolf Spider” if you are interested in what it sounds like! ^^
