Fujiwara Keiaki, who was knocked flying, landed and kept retreating to dissipate the force. His long knife drew a string of sparks on the ground, looking as if it came with special effects.
"Sizzle..."
The flying sparks vanished.
After retreating nearly twenty meters, Fujiwara Keiaki finally steadied his stance.
Purely from the visual effect, he undoubtedly looked much better than Xiao Feng.
Unfortunately, this superficial glory didn't last long.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. Fujiwara Keiaki's face turned from flushed to pale, obviously seriously injured.
Everyone's faces simultaneously turned to the darkest shade.
If this continues, a total wipeout seems almost inevitable. The giant spider doesn't need to do anything else—just charge and slam into them, and it can remain undefeated!
Both Xiao Feng and Fujiwara Keiaki were critically injured by a single slam, and the others didn't think they'd fare any better.
At this moment, Zhao Guo'an's pupils shrank. He desperately tugged at Xiao Feng's clothing while pointing towards the little girl.
Xiao Feng, a bit dissatisfied, still followed his hand's direction and looked over. Instantly, his expression changed, and he disregarded his injuries, quickly running towards the little girl.
Because at this moment, black lines of blood were flowing from the little girl's ears!
Yet, she seemed totally unaware, her eyes still closed, her hands continuously beating the drum, as if she would never stop unless someone halted her.
"Stop!"
Xiao Feng pressed his hands on the little girl's shoulders, shaking her forcefully, but it had no effect. The little girl didn't even open her eyes.
At this time, Lin Zhiyan and others guarding by the little girl's side quickly rushed over to stop her, grabbing her arms to prevent her from beating the drum.
Unexpectedly, the little girl had an extraordinary strength, and despite everyone's efforts, they could only slow her drumming motions; they couldn't stop her completely.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Feng cursed angrily and kicked the drum in front of the little girl away.
The drumming abruptly stopped, but the little girl still kept her eyes closed, her hands making mechanical drumming motions as if possessed.
Su Yuzhuo decisively unscrewed a bottle of water, took a mouthful, and sprayed it onto the little girl: "Pfft!"
Upon the chilly water's stimulation, the little girl finally stopped moving, her body softened, and she fell directly into Xiao Feng's arms.
Everyone removed their earplugs, looked at the speechlessly silent Xiao Feng holding the little girl, wanting to say something, but found no words appropriate.
At this moment, everyone's heart was full of anger, even wanting to rush forward and fight the giant spider to the death!
In less than half an hour, both Xiao Feng and Fujiwara Keiaki were critically injured sequentially, the little girl had fainted. Instead of being picked off one by one, it might be better to charge together and fight to the bitter end.
Lu Yao, who had the closest relationship with the little girl, slowly stood up. Her gaze fixed on the giant spider, which seemed to be resting, and walked resolutely towards it.
"Yaoyao, come back!" Xiao Feng said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's delicate body trembled but did not turn back: "But, Shihan she..."
"Come back," Xiao Feng repeated.
Lu Yao didn't immediately turn around, recalling the little girl's voice calling her "Sister Lu Yao" and sharing half of everything good with her.
Lu Yao felt she had to do something!
Lin Jiaxuan glanced at the little girl, who seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed, then looked at the motionless giant spider not far away, a murderous look frantically flashing in her eyes.
However, before she could accumulate enough to erupt, Lin Zhiyan's palm rested on her shoulder, signaling her not to do anything futile.
At this moment, Lu Yao seemed to have made her choice, lifting her foot but with no intention of turning around.
However, her foot had not yet landed when Xiao Feng's voice came from behind her.
Xiao Feng said for the third time, "Be obedient, come back first."
Lu Yao's movements stopped.
At this time, Sun Shijie let out a long breath and said, "There's no life-threatening danger, but her hearing might be affected, although that's only a possibility; how specific it is depends on further examination after she wakes up."
Xiao Feng grimly remained silent, which made everyone around feel a mountain-like pressure, as if they were standing next to a volcano about to erupt, ready to be engulfed by lava at any moment, reduced to ashes.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yao finally turned around and came back.
Looking at the pale little girl, Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a wave of self-blame. She had let the girl focus on drumming, but who knew she could concentrate to the point of completely forgetting herself.
Seeing Xiao Feng still not intending to speak, Lin Zhiyan had no choice but to say, "Given the current situation, I think it's better to withdraw first. No one is a match for it in a frontal battle."
Everyone nodded; each deeply knew this truth.
Humans possess higher intelligence, while beasts have stronger physiques; from this perspective, it seems fair and reasonable.
"What are you thinking?" Su Yuzhuo couldn't help but ask softly, seeing Xiao Feng not saying a word for a long time.
"I was thinking... why don't these two spiders have natural enemies?" Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, "There's a venomous snake under the suspension bridge, but the Hornbill suppresses it from above. There's no reason there are only two spiders here."
Lin Jiaxuan snorted coldly, "What's so strange about that? You were hit by the giant spider; you should know its power. Maybe these two spiders teamed up and defeated their natural enemies?"
In fact, natural enemies are known as such due to the profound genetic restraint between them.
Like, no matter how skilled a thief is, if he tries to steal something from the police station, he would still be apprehensive.
However, Xiao Feng didn't plan to argue more with Lin Jiaxuan on this issue, directly posing the next question, "Then explain why these two spiders always stay here and don't go somewhere else?"
Lin Jiaxuan was momentarily stumped. Previously, everyone acknowledged that with the arched door as the boundary, it was dangerous inside and safe outside.
But why is it safe outside?
There must be a reason.
Moreover, where did Darcy's teammates go?
If it were just one or two people, maybe they could've missed them, but dozens of people vanishing collectively without a trace, is that possible?
After a long silence, Lin Jiaxuan reluctantly argued, "Maybe this is the spiders' territory, and they won't leave to go outside."
As soon as she finished her sentence, the sound of "crack, crack, crack!" began.
The giant spider, previously motionless not far away, started to move slowly, like warming up.
Lin Zhiyan anxiously said, "These questions can't be answered in a short time. We should withdraw first and then discuss."
Xiao Feng shook his head and said calmly, "You all retreat; I'll stay to find some answers."
