06. The most terrifying creature in the world
When I saw the black shadow above my head, at that moment, I was so frightened that I trembled all over, and my whole body was shocked into a cold sweat.
At that time, my only thought was danger, and I had to avoid it quickly, so without saying a word, I just grabbed Xiao Nan's arm and ran away.
After running a few steps, a second thought popped into my mind: "What the hell is this?" β
I thought about it carefully, just now with the help of flashlight, I couldn't really see it, it seemed to be a big spider, a large spider the size of a van, and the whole body was black.
It has a spider silk in its belly, and the other end should be tethered to a branch, and it is slowly descending with the power of the spider silk.
The eight feet were completely curled up together, and the Katakata collided with each other with a subtle soft sound, as if snapping their fingers, and a huge spider web was pulled on the tip of the foot, and the spider web drooped, as if waiting for the right moment to open up, in order to prey on the prey in an instant.
Looking back on this scene, I feel a chill in my heart now.
I'm sure that if we stay where we are for another half minute, the huge net will envelop us both completely, and by that time the book will have only seven chapters.
The purpose of this spider is to eat the two of us?
Of course, this is not the point, the point is, how can there be such a big spider in this world?
To be honest, although Xiao Nan and I are just cousins, although the blood relationship is not so close, we have a lot in common, and one of the things that impresses us is that we are afraid of spiders.
Probably because of fear, I often had dreams about spiders when I was a child.
One of the most dreamed scenes is that the whole world is occupied by countless spiders. On the ceiling, on the walls, on the ground, that feeling is like...... A single step can trample hundreds of spiders to death.
Another time, I dreamed of a huge spider, about the same size as the one in front of me, and I dreamed that I was in military training, and at the same time I was an instructor, and the spider was the one who was being trained, and I was teaching it to walk right.
Of course I don't know how the spider steps properly, don't ask me.
Whether the content of these dreams is scary or hilarious, every time I wake up, I feel creepy when I think about them, so I once searched the Internet for keywords like 'the world's largest spider' to see if there was a possibility that the dream scene would come true.
This is a very strange kind of heart, I only know that when I saw this result, I was completely relieved: the largest spider in the world, that is, the tarantula, the largest ever discovered by humans, is as big as a human face, of course, the point is that the Great Celestial Empire does not have it.
Well...... Maybe there used to be, right? However, if such a rare species really existed in the land of the Great Celestial Empire, most of them would have been sliced.
Even a spider the size of a finger can make me sick for a long time, but the fear brought to me by the van-sized spider in front of me has suppressed me from the slightest disgusting thought.
The giant spider seemed to find that its prey had run away, so it no longer hid its head and tail, and the eight legs that were originally curled up opened in an instant, and even the spider web under its feet also collapsed, and the speed of its fall instantly accelerated.
"Smack-" After a soft sound, the giant spider fell to the ground in all directions.
It was facing us, eight large eyes lined up in two rows, glowing with an eerie red glow, and the claws crusting against each other with a crisp click.
I just felt the chill on the soles of my feet, my legs kept shaking, and I was so scared that I couldn't walk.
I trembled and said, "What do these entomologists eat?" There is no record of such a big spider? β
Xiao Nan also seemed to be frightened, and chanted in a trembling voice: "How did you learn biology class?" Spiders are not insects! β
Hearing this, my trembling gums almost bit my tongue, I tried to calm the fear in my heart, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all at this time, why do you care about these details?" The point is, what to do? β
As we complained to each other, the giant spider was approaching us step by step, and the shuddering clicking sound was getting closer and closer, and by the moonlight, I could even clearly see the long fine hairs on the spider's legs.
Xiao Nan trembled all over and said:
"What else can I do? Runβ"
As Xiao Nan's voice fell, the two of us screamed in unison, and immediately turned around and ran away in two directions.
Almost at the same time, the giant spider seemed to have made up its mind, its eight legs curled up slightly, and the next moment a huge force erupted from its legs, and it suddenly jumped up, and after only a second, it fell to the position where the two of us were standing before.
The two of us finally ran away, and the big spider pounced, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the face of such a situation, I did not dare to turn back, the fear of the overwhelming sea of swarms had overwhelmed me, I could only keep running, I always felt that this big spider was following me unhurriedly, waiting for the opportunity, and when I was exhausted, it suddenly pounced.
At this time, I suddenly thought of the cat I used to have at home, this situation is like a cat catching a mouse, a spider is a cat, and I am a mouse, and the purpose of a cat catching a mouse is not necessarily to eat, but to torture and play with it! Even if you want to eat it, you have to wait for the rat to be tortured to death before you can move your mouth.
I kept running, and thousands of thoughts had flashed through my mind, as if a century had passed, but I knew very well that less than half a minute had passed since the start of the run.
"Ahh Kitten! Help meβhelpβ"
This voice is so familiar, this is Xiao Nan's cry for help!
She screamed heartbreakingly, and the originally soft female voice pierced the sky at this moment, becoming extremely sharp and piercing.
Even though the fear had overwhelmed me, this screaming cry for help still made me suppress the fear in my heart at this moment.
I stopped my hurried footsteps and turned my head to see that about two or three hundred meters behind me, the giant spider had already knocked Xiao Nan to the ground, and the huge double claws kept knocking, making a crisp sound, as if a dedicated geological prospector was constantly hitting the stones on the ground with a small hammer.
Let's not say that she is still my cousin, the key is that such a good-looking little girl was bullied by a huge monster on the ground, in the face of such a scene, no matter how I think about it, I will feel that the sense of justice bursts instantly.
"The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat!"
At that time, I didn't know where I got the courage, so I yelled and immediately rushed towards the scene of the bullying.
However, at a distance of two or three hundred meters, how can it be so easy to run?
Seeing that the entire spider's body kept rising and falling, Xiao Nan's cry became more and more miserable, and at this moment, I was still more than a hundred meters away from the scene.
What to do? If I don't want to find a way, I'm afraid that by the time I run over there, Xiao Nan will already be cold, and at this time, I will undoubtedly be in the mouth of a sheep, or I will send it to my mouth.
At this time, my mind was completely blank, and my subconscious mind dominated the behavior of the whole body, so I subconsciously crouched down, grabbed a stone, and threw it at the spider's head.
"Let go of that girl!"
