Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel-Chapter 124 Exotic Dish For The Essence Draining Blue Cored Spider...

The scream made Chiron rush over.

However, the spider had not attacked yet.

It just stayed and looked at Zi carefully.

Ponzi and the others sleeping also rushed over, and the moment Ponzi saw the beast, his knees weakened.

He suddenly became blank as a memory of years passed appeared in his head.

It was the day his father was brought back by his party members on a stretcher into the clan.

He remembered that his old man had come back with terrible injuries, but had somehow survived. It was also that day that he no longer saw his mother again.

Afterwards, his father started two obsessions. The first one was alcohol, and the second was about a vile creature.

Even during his healing process, he would make up sketches of the creature that took his wife from him.

Day and night he would read about the creature and its weaknesses while he was accompanied by his bottle of wine.

Ponzi remembered coming into his father's room late at night and seeing the drawing of the creature all over the place. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

His old man had practically slept on the papers and the empty bottles of wine.

Back then, Ponzi had picked up one of the papers. He had to admit that this was the most terrifying creature he had ever seen.

"Remember it son!" his father opened his sleepy eyes and advised, "that was the demon that took her from me, from you, from us. It is called an Essence Draining Spider."

Ponzi had looked into the eight blue eyes in the paper that seemed to come alive and glow.

His father grabbed him by the arms, and as he drew his face closer, Ponzi's nose was instantly filled with the smell of pungent alcohol.

"The creature feeds purely on energy essence. When you become a stronger cultivator, and you see it, run Ponzi... RUN!!!"

Those words echoed inside Ponzi's head even now.

Everything in him told him that he needed to run. But as a child, he had dreamt of this creature so many times from the paper that his fear of it was like the fear a child had for the dark.

Dreams were one thing, but seeing them live in front of him, was another thing.

It took the shout of Duna to pull him out of his head, "Run Carla RUN!!!"

The Essence Draining Spider was a very big terrifying creature. It was practically a giant Black widow of over thirteen feet in height, with legs that looked more like blades.

Duna's shout gave Zi some courage and she ran towards the others. However, the creature did not pursue her. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

As the saying went, there was strength in numbers.

Chiron attempted to also rush to where the party was, but the spider Shrieked loudly as it blocked his path.

Chiron was smart enough to roll under it and run for away.

This spider was a blue-cored beast.

Its speed and even its agility were next to none.

It immediately followed after him, and the trees did not even obstruct it in any way either.

Chiron and the party members immediately ran as fast as they could.

Up ahead was steep but they had no choice but to climb as fast as possible.

Carla kicked a stone and lost her footing. She fell towards the beast.

"Carla!!!" Zi shouted.

However, surprisingly, the beast passed beside her.

"Shit!!!" Chiron cursed when he saw this.

He now understood that he had definitely underestimated how much Fate wanted him gone.

The Essence Draining spider was not like other beasts. It did not feed on the meat of its prey, but rather on the energy within.

This made the spider become a very picky eater. It always went for the prey with the most Spiritual energy.

Although in this group, it was Ponzi, but this spider had had more spirit energy cultivators for breakfast than it could remember.

However, having an Aura cultivator was entirely different.

Most if not all the creatures on the mountain were creatures with spirit energy.

This effectively made finding an aura user like Chiron a nice delicacy.

It was like eating only rice for a very long time, and then suddenly, a small piece of meat was placed before you.

Even though the meat was small, you'll definitely do anything to have it.

The Essence Draining spider was a spirit-based beast. However, it could take in any other energy and convert it into its body.

"Shit!!!" Duna cursed once he saw Carla fall.

However, the beast did not chase after her. Instead, it went after Chiron

He and Ponzi immediately went after her.

They helped her up.

However, she was more concerned about Chiron's safety.

By now, Chiron already knew that this beast was after him, and although not intentionally, he ran in a different direction.

The Spider immediately turned its abdomen and shot out its web.

It caught Chiron by his legs and railed him back.

"Chiron!!!" Carla screamed for him as she tried to shake off her seniors and head to him, but Ponzi held her back.

"Don't go! That is an Essence-draining spider. It is obvious it only wants Chiron."

And he was right. The moment its web caught ahold of Chiron, it pulled him as it ran into the forest.

Chiron called for his teammates to help him, but apart from Carla and Zi, all he saw was an opportuning look in Ponzi's eyes.

Surprisingly, Duna helped to hold Carla back, while Luna did the same for Zi.

"Senior Ponzi! what are you doing? We have to go help him." Carla complained in tears.

Although Chiron had told her that he was coming on this mission for the Snow white Tulip flower, seeing he had connections such as Elder Ellen, she had figured or rather convinced herself that he was doing it because of her.

This was a very bold assumption, but humans only believed what they wanted to believe.

"That creature only eats Spirit energy. If it is taking Chiron, then it's probably because of that Sword he is so proud of or the fact that he is a Tamashi!" Ponzi added.

Duna and Luna nodded in acknowledgement.
