In the forest, the woman named Misa Takeda was running wildly with the puppet on her shoulders, while Qin Zhibo was chasing after her.
The fishing line tied to the puppet occasionally got entangled in the bushes of the forest, but this did not hinder the pace of "Misa Takeda" at all.
She was as strong as a moving car and the fishing line was easily broken by her.
Very strange!
Her behavior is very strange!
Qin Zhibo didn't understand what "Misa Takeda" meant, but logically, her actions were out of line with human common sense.
There was no autopsy, which means she was not dead yet.
But how did she survive these three years? Could it be that she was imitating Master Bei?
And why did she take away the puppet?
Moreover, her physical strength is also somewhat abnormal.
With these questions, Qin Zhibo followed "Takeda Misa" all the way to a huge banyan tree in the forest.
This banyan tree was discovered by Qin Zhibo on his first day here, but he didn't notice anything unusual at that time.
But now, the huge root exposed to the soil actually opened a hole.
The entrance to the cave is so large that an adult can go in with just a slight bend, but only deep and terrifying darkness can be seen inside.
"Misa Takeda" ran straight into the cave entrance with the puppet in her arms. Qin Zhibo, who followed behind, stopped outside the cave entrance and watched for a while.
Qin Zhibo believed that he would never have missed such a conspicuous hole yesterday, so the hole must have opened suddenly.
"Could this be the spider's lair?"
Qin Zhibo stretched his head and looked inside. Apart from the smell of humus in the soil, there was no other peculiar smell inside. However, wherever he could see, there were a large number of gray-white spider webs stuck together, like silk holes.
There are various signs that this is a spider nest.
The main challenge mission is to enter it and seek death. Of course, Qin Zhibo had no choice but to choose to enter without hesitation.
Taking one last breath of fresh air outside, Qin Zhibo got into the cave.
In the dark cave, Qin Zhibo did not use a lighter as lighting, but used night vision goggles.
This makes it less likely to disturb the things inside.
"Misha Takeda" had already run away, but Qin Zhibo didn't waste any time tracking her.
After all, the mission is to explore the spider lair, not to track down someone.
Moreover, the interior of this place is not as complicated as imagined. The only thing left for an animal of human size to pass through is a sloping downward passage in front of it.
The stacks of spider webs on the top of his head, like thousand-layer cakes, could almost stick to Qin Zhibo's scalp. On each spider web, there were spiders crawling and waiting for prey.
Qin Zhibo was not sure whether there would be insects and moths here for so many spiders to prey on, but in fact, since they chose to build webs here, it meant that there was food to be found here.
Fortunately, Qin Zhibo is not afraid of spiders, nor does he have claustrophobia or trypophobia. Otherwise, the torment here would be comparable to purgatory.
The road ahead is ambiguous, but fortunately there is a turning point.
In Qin Zhibo's night vision field of view, the cave ahead suddenly opened up, and a huge gourd-like space hanging upside down spread out inside the underground.
Qin Zhibo stretched his head and looked inside, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
This space with a gourd structure is almost as big as three basketball courts in cross section alone.
On the curved surface of the cave, a large number of strange-shaped caves are scattered all over it.
Hundreds, no, thousands!
They seem to come from different spatial dimensions, some are paved with strange stones that are not common in life, some are loose soil covered with narrow spider webs, and some even simply have a thick plant root sticking out from it.
It is difficult to tell how this strange phenomenon occurred, but what is certain is that these caves are woven together in strange ways by some indescribable force, just like a spider web.
And this gourd-like space is the very center of the spider web!
With his feet on the edge of the cave under his feet, Qin Zhibo leaned forward slightly while maintaining his balance to look at the bottom of the gourd space.
Due to the particularity of the spatial structure here, Qin Zhibo could only vaguely see that it might be a deep cave that went vertically downward, like a deep well.
The hole with a diameter of about three meters exuded an extremely evil aura, and no one could tell where the darkness leading even the night vision goggles could not detect.
Perhaps the "dark, lightless underworld" inhabited by the spider god Atrak Nakya written by Ludwig Purin is beneath that cave.
According to Qin Zhibo's guess, this mission is the same as the first challenge mission. Only by in-depth exploration (zuo) and exploration (si) can you obtain the complete mission reward, that is, enter the secret cave.
But from a safety perspective, Qin Zhibo did not want to confront the Spider God head-on.
In the face of completely unpredictable dangers, human beings' instinct and nature is to shrink back. Only a small number of investigators are willing to risk death to satisfy their curiosity.
Perhaps when they chose this step, the will and thoughts of these investigators no longer belonged to them.
But Qin Zhibo's brain is awake now.
That place is too dangerous and it's time to stop.
With this judgment confirmed in his mind, Qin Zhibo was about to turn around and return the same way, when he saw "Takeda Misa" standing behind him.
Her eyes were stunned, her expression was indifferent, and she was broad-minded.
As a man, Qin Zhibo glanced downward unconsciously.
It was at this startling moment that "Misa Takeda" suddenly raised her hand and pushed Qin Zhibo.
Extraordinary power exploded on his slender gray arms. Qin Zhibo had no time to prepare, and his body lost balance and fell against the cave wall.
Since the cave entrance where Qin Zhibo was located was almost in the lowest row, Qin Zhibo's body had no chance to slide into other cave entrances. He could only slide toward the deep cave entrance that he least wanted to step into, like oil poured into a funnel.
Although the sliding speed is not very fast due to friction, it is inevitable.
Qin Zhibo was so anxious that he quickly took out [Flying Claw] from the item list.
When the flying claw was thrown, the solid investigator's hand bones grabbed the edge of the cave where he had previously stood, preventing him from continuing to slide downward.
But even so, Qin Zhibo could not conclude that he had escaped from the trap.
Because "Misa Takeda" jumped high from the entrance of the cave again, landing on all fours on an inclined surface that was impossible for humans to stand on.
She was lying on the ground, her head turning left and right at a terrifying angle several times.
Suddenly, the skin on the top of "Misa Takeda's" head suddenly cracked, making a tearing sound.
She actually split!
Under the cracked human skin, there is not bright red flesh, but dark spider legs!
One, two, three.
A total of eight spider legs are covered with indescribable mucus, replacing the organ that was previously called the "head".
