This spider has a body entirely in a vermilion red, measuring over ten meters in length, with legs spanning several meters. As it passes, the air is filled with a pungent wind.
What is truly chilling is that this giant spider has a human-like head, with a ghastly pale face and a pair of eyes that seem wooden and lifeless, yet they send shivers down one's spine, making one want to flee.
Lin Hao's brows were deeply furrowed. This human-faced giant spider is a mid-rank ferocious beast, not yet reaching the level of a mid-rank king, but it is still an elite, with terrifying strength.
Clearly, this is the territory of the human-faced giant spider. All ferocious beasts and wild animals must stop here, or they will be mercilessly hunted down.
Previously, there must have been a ferocious beast that entered the human-faced giant spider's territory, provoking its immense anger, causing a storm as soon as it appeared.
At this moment, Lin Hao held his breath, not daring to make any movement.
A mid-rank ferocious beast is a whole level higher than a common ferocious beast, and their strength cannot be compared.
Facing this human-faced giant spider, not to mention Lin Hao, even the inner disciples of the four major families would find it difficult to escape being instantly killed.
However, the hooded swordsman is getting closer and will soon catch up.
Lin Hao's thoughts raced, and he ultimately decided to remain still. The hooded swordsman is indeed terrifying, but compared to the human-faced giant spider, it is like a small fry.
Ahead, the human-faced giant spider moved its claws, its wooden eyes scanning the surroundings, seemingly sensing something amiss, but not finding anything wrong.
It hesitated and did not leave.
In front of Lin Hao were some broken giant tree trunks, which perfectly concealed his figure, fortunately not being discovered by the human-faced giant spider.
Not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps came from behind, followed by the hooded swordsman's angry shout: "Boy, do you think you can escape death?"
Hearing this, Lin Hao did not respond, standing still, only turning his head to see the hooded swordsman staring at the human-faced giant spider, his face pale with fear, not daring to make any move.
Silence.
It was a deathly silence.
Lin Hao and the hooded swordsman did not engage in a fight as expected, both falling silent.
Even if they encountered a common ferocious beast, it would be a matter of life and death, and this mid-rank elite ferocious beast is even more terrifying. Even if ten common ferocious beasts joined forces, they would all perish in an instant.
Only the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves could be heard, sending chills down one's spine.
The hooded swordsman took a deep breath, no longer as arrogant as before, but instead full of panic. He regretted coming to the middle layer of the Tianrang Mountains.
This place is already very close to the inner layer of the mountains, where it is rumored that high-rank ferocious beasts roam, and even powerful beings passing by have witnessed the might of great beasts, their roars causing the sky to collapse and rivers to flow backward!
The hooded swordsman tried his best to remain calm. He was still some distance from the human-faced giant spider and had not yet caught its attention.
Subsequently, the hooded swordsman tiptoed backward, no longer intending to continue pursuing Lin Hao, but only hoping to save his own life.
Sweat dripped from the hooded swordsman's forehead like broken pearls, especially when he saw the human-faced giant spider's head, which was a magnified version of a human face, pale and terrifying, a living monster.
After retreating a few steps, the human-faced giant spider suddenly roared, opening its mouth and spewing out a blood-red web.
"Ah!" The hooded swordsman was terrified. The blood-red web was aimed at him, and if he were caught, he would surely die!
Realizing he had been discovered by the human-faced giant spider, the hooded swordsman no longer hesitated, immediately increasing his speed to the limit, running forward like a gust of wind.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion, the blood-red web burst in mid-air, raining down like rain. The hooded swordsman, caught off guard, was entangled by the burst web.
"Damn! Damn!" The hooded swordsman roared, trying to cut the blood-red web with his sword, but his entire body was already entangled, losing control of his movements. With his current strength, he could not escape the human-faced giant spider's web.
"Ah! Hurry! Move your hands, hurry!!" The hooded swordsman screamed, using all his strength to lift his arms and control the sword, but to no avail.
He lost his composure, in this life-or-death moment, completely losing the calmness of a killer.
In the past, he faced human warriors, and even if his assassination failed and he was trapped, he could talk his way out. But now, it is a human-faced giant spider, a mid-rank ferocious beast that is bloodthirsty and merciless!
The human-faced giant spider slowly approached the hooded swordsman, passing by Lin Hao, and came to a stop in front of the hooded swordsman.
It lowered its head, licking its lips with a red tongue, its wooden eyes staring at the hooded swordsman.
"Go away! Get away! Yes, look over there, there's another person, go after him!" The hooded swordsman's heart raced, his eyes scanning Lin Hao.
The human-faced giant spider seemed to understand human speech and actually followed the hooded swordsman's gaze toward Lin Hao.
"Oh no!" Lin Hao, being targeted by the human-faced giant spider, felt as if struck by lightning. Without hesitation, he immediately increased the "Yunfeng Step" to its limit, turning into a blur and fleeing forward.
"What... I... I didn't lie to you... Hurry, go after him, or that boy will escape, hurry!" The hooded swordsman, seeing the human-faced giant spider looking at him again, quickly called out.
The human-faced giant spider opened its mouth, revealing two rows of teeth, similar to a human's but much larger, black and yellow, accompanied by a pungent smell.
Before the hooded swordsman could react, he was bitten by the human-faced giant spider.
He screamed, trying to escape, but it was all in vain in the mouth of the human-faced giant spider.
The human-faced giant spider's mouth opened and closed, blood gushing from the corners of its mouth as the hooded swordsman screamed.
With a gulp, the human-faced giant spider swallowed the already crushed hooded swordsman, then its gaze fell on the distance, slowly pursuing the route where Lin Hao had fled.
Its speed, though seemingly slow, was actually very fast, far surpassing the speed of the hooded swordsman and Lin Hao.
...
Lin Hao was now running at full speed, the pressure of life and death pushing him to break through his limits, making him even faster.
He could feel the mental pressure from the human-faced giant spider, knowing that it had no intention of letting him go and was pursuing him. It wouldn't be long before his fate was no better than the hooded swordsman's.
Since the appearance of the human-faced giant spider, Lin Hao's brows had not relaxed for a moment. He hadn't felt such pressure for a long time, whether in this life or the previous one.
Even when he was ambushed in the Heavenly Palace City of the Tenth Heaven Gate in his previous life, he had never felt such a sense of helplessness.
This feeling made Lin Hao very uncomfortable and resistant, but he was helpless, blaming his current weakness, which allowed even a mid-rank ferocious beast to bully him.
If it were his previous life, not to mention the ferocious beasts in the Tianrang Mountains, even the supreme spirit beasts in various dangerous regions would tremble in fear!
Of course, this is in reference to his previous life. In his current state, he could only treat it as a memory or a dream.
The most pressing matter now is to escape the human-faced giant spider's pursuit, otherwise, everything would be over.
Lin Hao's speed was fast, but it could not compare to the human-faced giant spider. He could already smell the pungent odor of the human-faced giant spider.
Rustle!
Strange sounds came from behind, the human-faced giant spider was less than a kilometer away, visible to the naked eye.
Lin Hao saw a forest ahead, connecting to the inner depths of the Tianrang Mountains, where it was said that many high-rank ferocious beasts and even great beasts existed.
At this moment, Lin Hao could not afford to think about these things and immediately rushed into the depths.
Soon, the human-faced giant spider also arrived, standing outside the deep forest, seemingly hesitant, not wanting to enter.
Finally, the human-faced giant spider let out a strange cry and pursued into the forest.
In the forest, Lin Hao fled for a while but felt something was wrong.
He had already reached the forest connecting to the inner depths of the mountains, yet he had not seen a single ferocious beast, which was unusual.
A sense of foreboding rose in Lin Hao's heart, suspecting that there might be a powerful ferocious beast in this area, making it its territory.
However, Lin Hao did not have time to think much, as the human-faced giant spider was already catching up, only a few hundred meters away.
Puff!
The same sound came from the human-faced giant spider's mouth, spewing out a blood-red web.
Seeing this, Lin Hao felt even more pressure. The web could burst and split into many parts, making it very difficult to avoid.
While fleeing, he remained vigilant against the blood-red web, knowing that if he were caught, he would surely die in the Tianrang Mountains.
Thinking about it now, he felt quite wronged. From beginning to end, he had been a victim of unforeseen circumstances.
This could only be blamed on Lin He's unnecessary trouble and the scheming Bai Zhenchen, the young master of the Bai family, who had involuntarily dragged Lin Hao into this 'turbulence'.
Boom!
As Lin Hao had predicted, the blood-red web finally burst and split, scattering in all directions.
The "Yunfeng Step" was immediately pushed to its limit, moving like a cloud and wind, appearing and disappearing, making it difficult to catch.
Several split webs failed to capture Lin Hao, and he managed to escape.
Behind, the human-faced giant spider was slightly stunned, not expecting its web to be successfully avoided by the human.
Rustle!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, accompanied by a terrifying aura.
The sky seemed to darken, and Lin Hao looked up, his expression changing.
Above the void, a pair of huge black wings, covered in black fur, spread out, blocking the sky. The head resembled a rat or a wolf, and the tail was several meters long, exuding explosive power. Just one glance was enough to make one lose control.
This was a giant mutated bat, a mid-rank king-level ferocious beast, and even the aerial ruler of a hundred-mile radius, a king beast!
