Li Nan did not understand what Li Dapeng meant by provoking that spider, but just as he was sweating nervously, Li Dapeng shouted loudly from across the way, "Now's the time, hurry up and act!"
Immediately, Li Dapeng swung his arm, and a Binding Hook flew directly from the head of the Black-Furred Spider!
The Binding Hook landed perfectly in Li Nan's hand. In an instant, Li Nan understood what to do; he caught the Binding Hook and leaped directly onto the back of the Black-Furred Spider!
Holding the Binding Hook, Li Nan did not hesitate. He dove into the spider's rear entrance, and in that moment, it felt like a thousand arrows pierced his heart; he was on the verge of tears!
Suddenly blinded, Li Nan used all his limbs to stabilize himself. Next, he planned to imitate Sun Wukong's havoc in Heaven and turn this Black-Furred Spider upside down!
With the Binding Hook in hand, Li Nan rolled freely inside the spider's body. Then, using a sudden burst of strength, he broke through a gap and emerged from the spider's back!
"Finally, I can breathe fresh air!" Li Nan gasped, holding his breath for a moment before diving back in. If he didn't dissect this giant spider today, he would not be a doctor!
The Black-Furred Spider curled its body, rolling from the left side of the road to the right, suddenly crashing into an overturned truck. With a strong push, it miraculously righted the vehicle!
Suddenly, the Black-Furred Spider stretched out its eight long legs and fell onto its back, motionless. Mo Xiaohui hesitated and said, "Is it dead?"
Just as Mo Xiaohui was about to walk over, Li Dapeng abruptly stopped her. "Wait a minute! Spiders like this will play dead; we should wait a bit longer!"
Mo Xiaohui halted her steps and replied, "But Li Nan is still inside!"
Li Dapeng shook his head. "It's fine. Li Nan is like Sun Wukong; he won't die!"
The scene before them resembled a segment from Journey to the West. However, Li Nan ultimately did not possess Sun Wukong's abilities; while Sun Wukong could enter through someone's mouth into their belly, Li Nan had to force his way in!
This was the difference!
Li Nan struggled inside the spider's body like a worm freely moving around, recklessly causing destruction within its host!
Using the Binding Hook in his hand, Li Nan destroyed all the flesh within reach. While navigating through the spider's body, Li Nan suddenly noticed something pulsating nearby!
"That's it!" Li Nan exclaimed with joy, immediately reaching out to pluck a palm-sized jumping Heart from the tangled airways.
At that moment, the Black-Furred Spider, lying on its back, suddenly convulsed, and green fluid began to ooze from its mouth, its compound eyes dimming completely.
At this time, Li Dapeng remarked, "Now it's really dead!"
Mo Xiaohui and Li Dapeng rushed over, while Li Nan fell out of a large opening in the spider's abdomen.
Looking at Li Nan covered in murky slime, Mo Xiaohui asked, "How did you end up crawling in through that creature's rear?"
Li Nan was quite surprised. "Wasn't that what Li Dapeng implied?"
Li Dapeng chuckled, "We just wanted to tell you to attack its backside; we never said to crawl in from there!"
Li Nan smiled wryly. "The method that can kill the Black-Furred Spider is a good method; there's no need to worry about these details!"
At this moment, Li Nan sat down heavily on the ground. "What a hassle!"
Mo Xiaohui took out a handkerchief from her pocket and began wiping Li Nan's face.
Li Dapeng walked over to the elephant-sized Black-Furred Spider and kicked it hard, discovering that its flesh was indeed tough. If they hadn't attacked from its rear, they might not have been able to kill it!
Facing such a massive creature, Li Dapeng asked, "How could there be such a large spider?"
Li Nan shook his head. "I don't know either. But on the way here, you saw how the wheels ran over something. Do you know what that thing was?"
Li Dapeng pondered for a moment and said, "It looked like a frog, but what kind of frog grows to the size of a dog?"
Li Nan said ambiguously, "That thing does look like a toad. If a toad can grow to the size of a dog, then maybe a spider could be as big as an elephant; that might explain things!"
Mo Xiaohui frowned beside him, "What are you talking about? Isn't it just a big rock on the road? When did it turn into a toad?"
Li Dapeng smiled, "I just thought things were strange at the time, so I didn't say anything. But since the boss already said it was a rock, I could only go along with it!"
Mo Xiaohui's expression wasn't good. "Oh great! At such a young age, you're already colluding with Li Nan. Have you learned to deceive me too?"
Li Nan explained, "I didn't want you to worry, so I didn't mention anything strange. But now it's clear that this giant spider has already put us in a tough spot. If we encounter something else, wouldn't we be completely doomed?"
Mo Xiaohui sat down on the ground with a sigh and said, "It seems this world has truly changed completely; it's beyond our understanding. Now not only are zombies rampant, but all sorts of monsters are making their appearance. Li Nan, do you think we've entered another world?"
Li Nan replied with a bitter smile, "The world changes every day; it was the same in the past. The principle of survival of the fittest applies at all times. The world has always been cruel, but we have to keep living!"
While Li Nan and Mo Xiaohui exchanged thoughts, Li Dapeng slowly approached the culvert they had just passed.
The road was covered in dense spider silk. Li Dapeng cautiously moved closer and suddenly felt that the spider silk around him was changing.
The previously taut spider silk began to vibrate; it seemed there were living creatures hidden within the culvert!
Li Dapeng gently placed his finger on a strand of spider silk, quietly sensing the vibrations coming from inside the culvert.
The jumping frequency of the spider silk was rapid. Subjectively speaking, whatever was inside the culvert should also be some kind of arthropod, and only spiders could walk on spider silk.
"Could there still be spiders in that culvert?" A thought flashed through his mind. Li Dapeng suddenly turned around and shouted to Li Nan and Mo Xiaohui behind him, "There’s something else in the culvert!"
As soon as Li Dapeng placed his finger on the spider silk, whatever was inside the culvert clearly sensed that prey had been caught.
Only spiders could understand the information transmitted by a strand of spider silk. Immediately, a sound like rushing water emerged from the culvert—chaotic and numerous.
Hearing Li Dapeng's shout, Li Nan couldn't help but think and immediately grabbed Mo Xiaohui's arm. In an instant, countless spiders surged out from behind Li Dapeng!
Li Dapeng sensed something unusual behind him and shouted, "Run, run!"
From the culvert, hundreds or even thousands of spiders poured out. Although they were only the size of ordinary dogs, their overwhelming numbers could not be underestimated.
Sometimes, being small has its advantages. Just like a lion can take down an ox that is larger than itself, it cannot handle a swarm of ants. When the number increases and the size decreases, their power grows exponentially.
A sense of horror suddenly arose. Facing the tide of Black-Furred Spiders, Li Nan's first reaction was that running would definitely not work; it was better to get in the vehicle!
Li Nan called to Li Dapeng, "Hurry up and get in the car; there might still be hope!"
In a flash, Li Nan and Li Dapeng split into two groups and got into the already chaotic truck one after another. They quickly shut the door and rolled up the windows. Then Li Nan tentatively pressed the gas pedal, surprisingly finding that the truck was still operational despite being flipped over several times!
Suddenly, two plumes of black smoke erupted from the truck's exhaust pipe, sputtering a few times before it lunged forward and sped away.
The three people in the vehicle all looked terrified, while Li Nan silently thought, "Surviving in this apocalypse is just too damn hard!"
