Under the guidance of the Lion King, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang went to the center of the Western Continent to explore the towering tree that was said to be able to destroy the world

They walked in the primeval forests along the coastline, soaking up the sun and feeling the salty smell of the sea breeze. At this moment, the forest seems to have been forgotten by time, and everything is silent, only the occasional birdsong and insect chirping break the tranquility. Every step is like stepping on the imprint of time, and every inch of land contains endless stories.

Then, in front of them, a towering mountain appeared, with mountains stretching and clouds at its peaks. Under the leadership of the Lion King, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang did not hesitate to start climbing, the mountain road was rugged, and they overcame all difficulties. From the moment they reached the summit, they were struck by the magnificent scenery in front of them: the sea, forests and mountains in the distance seemed to be a beautiful picture of nature.

As night fell, they set up makeshift tents at the top of the mountain. The stars in the night sky are like brilliant gems, illuminating the land. They stared silently into the distance, and the two listened to the Lion King's detailed introduction to the continent in this quiet night.

In the dead of night, they curled up in their tents and fell asleep. At the first light of the morning, Ye Ning and Li Yishuang got up, they took out the compressed biscuits in their backpacks, and ate some food slightly.

The moon sets and the sun rises, a new day begins, and they begin to descend. After climbing down the mountain, they came to another gloomy forest. The forest was different from the one they had passed before, and the trees were much older, as if they were guarding the secrets of time.

In this ancient and gloomy forest, above the treetops, dense layers of spider silk stretch continuously, they are intertwined and entangled, weaving a natural web. These spider threads are different from ordinary silk threads, they sparkle and shine with a dark silvery white, as if they have been moistened by starlight, and each trace contains mysterious power.

The spider silk looked like a skilled weaver who had threaded it with her own hands and wrapped it in a tulle garment for the forest. Each spider's web is like a unique work of art, some in the shape of a spiral, others in full bloom like a flower, each shimmering with a shimmer and floating in the air like a galaxy of dreams.

The sunlight penetrated the layers of spider webs, casting mottled light and shadow, as if each beam of light was softly intercepted and dispersed by spider silk, making the whole forest surrounded by a dreamlike atmosphere. The air is filled with a faint vapor of water, which combines with spider silk to form tiny dew drops, which gently tremble on the spider's web, as if the stars have fallen into the mortal world.

As soon as Ye Ning and Li Yishuang raised their heads, they saw a strange and terrifying sight - countless spider silks were like slender silver threads, tightly binding the entire forest together. Through the top of the forest, the two of them could only see a full load of spider silk, which grew and spread wildly, invading every space, and nothing could escape their restraints.

It was as if the god of the world had woven a web of oblivion from white spider silk and hung above the head of that forest. The cobwebs are so vast that they cover almost the entire forest, isolating the sky from the earth, like a work of art full of terrifying charm.

Immersed in the forest under this cobweb, it was like being sealed in a giant jar, as if the world had forgotten about his existence. Each spider silk is like the finger of death, silently waiting to plunder life. The stickiness of spider silk is like an unbreakable cage, and any life that tries to struggle will be firmly bound by them.

This full of white makes people feel a kind of creepy chill. It is as if they silently tell the comer: this is a terrifying place where life can be trance, lost, and even extinguished. This pure white terrifying landscape is like a huge trap, devouring every life that steps into it.

Li Yishuang raised her head, the visual impact of the white terror made her heart beat faster, her hands began to tremble, and her body involuntarily leaned towards Ye Ning. Even though she is a fearless female warrior, she is still terrified by the cobwebs that litter the sky.

"I'm not afraid of any small insects, but I'm most afraid of spiders, and this seems to be a big spider." Her voice trembled slightly, as if at this moment, the weak side of her strong exterior was completely exposed.

Hear Li Yi

Frost's words, the lion king, who was their guide, turned his head, stared at his mirror-like eyes, and said in a solemn tone, "This is the Spider Forest, and the biggest spiders here should be bigger than me."

This was said indifferently and leisurely, without exaggeration or understatement, according to the size of the lion king, the spider was laid out enough to be the size of a small hill. And this unimaginable picture made Li Yishuang's fear even higher.

The Lion King continued, "This whole forest is a world of spiders, they are everywhere in this forest, and this is their home." His words paint a terrifying map, giving the impression that every step could be met with sudden danger.

"And their favorite predator is humans!" The corners of the Lion King's mouth were slightly upturned, and a hint of playfulness and banter seemed to flash in his eyes, as if he was testing the courage of Ye Ning and Li Yishuang. In his words, the Spider Forest is a labyrinth full of traps, and they are the most tempting prey in this labyrinth.

Li Yishuang stared nervously at the Lion King, trying to find a trace of comfort in his eyes, and the sound of his heartbeat seemed to become the loudest music in this forest. She whispered, "Don't scare me!"

The Lion King took a deep breath and stared into the distance with his eyes. His tone was filled with nostalgia and sadness: "This forest was not like this before. In the past, it was the crystallization of human civilization, a prosperous city, and a model of harmonious coexistence between technology and nature. However, because of an irreparable war, everything in this land has been shattered, the pride of the city has been destroyed, and only the boundless ruins remain."

Li Yishuang looked at him in disbelief, shocked by this information. The Lion King continued, "It is said that in this war, there was an attack on something called a nuclear power plant, which caused a large amount of radioactive material to leak out. This land has been infected by high-intensity radiation in a short period of time, and the ecological environment has changed dramatically."

Ye Ning also frowned: "So the spiders here ......."

The Lion King nodded, "Exactly. This irradiated land has made the spiders here extremely huge. But don't be too afraid. Despite their size, most spiders have lost much of their abilities due to prolonged radiation infestation. They look scary, but they don't really pose much of a threat."

This is the reason why spiders are filled with intense anger and pain towards humans. As the radiation seeped into the soil silently like a demon, painting them with nightmarish colors, the enormity of their size became a curse they could not escape. They, who had only to feast on a few tiny insects in the breeze, had to hunt half a fat sheep with all their might to fill their bottomless empty stomachs.

However, the presence of spider silk was like a joke played by nature, and the delicate silk threads glittered in the sunlight, which was a clear warning sign for those large animals. The difficulty of hunting has increased, making it difficult for them to have a full meal. Survival is already cruel, and their high fertility adds a heavy pain to this, and the reproduction of the family is in stark contrast to the need for energy, and the sad aftertaste of the feast is even stronger.

But radiation didn't change their fertility, they still lived in a litter, and the spiders were so numerous and so large that it was only a matter of time before they experienced famine. Because they have only grown in size, in the face of those demon beasts with special abilities, before the laws of nature spread, they can't resist at all, and there is only a dead end.

Fortunately, natural selection gave them a way, and in the first decades, they experienced disaster after disaster, famine after famine. In this case, the subfertile individuals among them were saved, and the choice of ten years of disaster and famine, the spiders at the moment are all spiders with special abilities and low fertility.

Under the laws established by the Lion King, their living area was limited to this area, and together they created this spider forest. The lion king was not allowed to expand his territory, and after more than twenty years, when they wanted to break this rule, they found that other populations were strong, and they had no way to start. The continent's sphere of influence has stabilized.

And when they gradually possess spiritual wisdom and understand the truth of all this, the pain to mankind

Hatred gushes out like a volcano, without exception. Their hearts are full of hatred, and each of their cobwebs carries confrontation and hatred for these proud creatures who ignore the rights of living beings and wantonly mess with the laws of nature.

In the early morning light, in the midnight moonlight, they waited alone by the silk screen, waiting for the moment to come—the moment when they could fill their bellies. However, what they are looking forward to is not just a gorgeous meal, but more than that, it may be an opportunity to change the status quo......

When Li Yishuang heard this, she relaxed slightly, but she still looked around nervously: "Then we ...... How do you get there?"

The Lion King smiled, "Although their abilities are weak, they are numerous, so we should be careful. As long as we walk over with our abilities and don't actively alarm them, most spiders won't attack us."
