âHurry! Hurry! Hurry! Protect me! Protect me!â
They saw countless densely packed spiders rushing over, so white, some black, and some colorful.
They werenât all just bones and carapaces, but they also had translucent mucusâ¦
Most importantly, not only could these things jump, but they could even fly.
Shirley was so frightened she let out a mad shriek. She hid behind Alex and even jumped onto him.
Alex was helpless. âShouldnât you have mentally prepared yourself when you came in? Why are you
still afraid of these things?â
As he mocked Shirley, he summoned his thundering flames and formed a barrier, burning the spiders
till they crackled and popped. In fact, with the ability of the golden bone patterns on her chest, she
shouldnât have been afraid of getting bitten such small spiders probably could not even bite through
her.
Swoosh!
Many were burned to death when the spiders encountered the thundering flames, and those at the rear
retreated.
Shirley jumped off Alex and said, âI hate these densely packed little things the most Theyâre triggering
my trypophobia.â
Alex smiled without saying anything. He was very interested in that tree inside. Once he borrowed the
burning thundering flames, the situation inside became even clearer.
To his surprise, he saw a pool in the depths of the spider lair. The pool was shrouded in a green light,
but was in fact, all reflection. The real source of the light actually came from the strange tree in the
middle of the water pool. The tree was only about five meters tall at most, but green light flowed on
each leaf with a rhythm similar to the bone patterns. The entire tree exuded an energy that soothed
people.
The golden bone patterns on Shirleyâs chest emitted a faint luster as if they breathed this kind of
energy.
âWhat tree is this? Have you seen it before?â Alex asked Shirley.
Shirley shook her head as she also saw it for the first time. She stared at the tree in the water pool and
said, âI feel that itâs calling me.â
As she spoke, she wanted to move forward and no longer feared the spiders.
Alex hurriedly grabbed her bone and dragged her back forcefully. âDonât be impulsive. This is a strange
tree. It is as if it charms people.â
After Alex threw her the reminder, Shirley glanced at the densely packed spiders ahead with slight
lingering fear. She hurriedly cahned down and became more vigilant. Suddenly, she just felt something
weird. She looked down, only to discover that Alexâs hand was grasping her hip bones.
âThis⦠Is a little unbearable.â
âYou can hold somewhere else? Why do you have to take that position deliberately?â
âHey, where are your hands? Is this a place you can grasp?â Shirleyâs tone carried strong
dissatisfaction. If this were her normal flesh, this would be the position of her butt.
âUhâ¦â Alex smiled and let go of his hand. âSorry. Itâs your most obvious bone.â
ââ¦â
If Shirley had flesh and blood, her current expression would be flushed.
The next second, Alex added, âYou should wear a pair of pants.â
Shirley rolled her eyes vigorously. She had turned into a skeleton, so why would she be wearing pants?
She couldnât even hold it tip, alright? Besides, where would she find any pants in this world?
âHow am I any different from you?â she snapped.
âOh, I havenât studied this carefully. Iâll compare them.â Alex bent down, turned his head sideways, and
leaned towards her skeleton.
Although they had become bones, she truly could not bear that action of his.
âPervert!â
Bam!
Shirley kicked Alex out, and he landed right in the sea of spiders. In an instant, the thundering flames
ravaged, and streaks of lightning struck continuously.
All the spiders went berserk and squeaked in fear, staying away from Alexâs surroundings. A large
wave even rushed out of the cave. Shirley was miserable, guarding the cave entrance without the
thundering flamesâ protection. Countless spiders impacted her, jumping onto her body and drilling
through her. In an attempt to flee, some even directly burrowed into all sorts of gaps until they were
stuck.
âAh!â
