Chapter 530: Island of Devil’s Maw (36)

They saw that behind the layers of half-translucent crystal columns, a giant black shadow was slowly approaching. Even though the actual ‘her’ had not fully appeared, she had announced herself to the players with a chilling trill. The trill was not a normal ‘sound’ by any means of the words, it was more like a mental attack tactic. It was like the sound of nails scratching on glass, it was meant to make the listeners feel uncomfortable.

“Do not panic, no matter what arrives, we will hold it back.” Ambitionist told the three at the top, then he turned to look at Pegasus and said, “Seiya, you know what to do, right?”

“I don’t know, Ishida!” Pegasus widened his innocent eyes and answered nervously, “But this sound sure is very annoying!”

“Aiz…” Ambitionist gave out a long sigh and grumbled, “I must have short circuited there… why did I even expect that from you…” He shook his head and explained. “Haven’t Brother Feng experimented with it earlier? Non-physical attack can phase through the web.” He raised his hand to point above, “Once the monster starts to climb over the web, coming towards us, you can just hit at it using Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken.”

“Oh.” Pegasus nodded but two seconds later, it seemed like he was reminded of something and he added, “Ishida, have you realized you like to point out the obvious? Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken is the only skill I know after all…”

“Now we’re talking back, are we?” Ambitionist by then had pulled out his long bow. “More out of you and I’ll shoot all over your face!”

At the same time, 10 meters above the ground…

“How come it sounds like the two down below are discussing something no so innocent….” Atobe grumbled as he used his fan to cut the web.

“The pose that you two are in is also not that innocent, do you know that?” Uncle Worthless could not help but slide in this chiding comment as he looked at the two men before him.

“Shut it!” Atobe roared, “Or watch me break your sunglasses!”

Tsk—Tsk—

Suddenly two strange noises rang out again. In that moment, Feng Bujue’s reflex kicked into motion. He kicked under his legs, stepped back and dropped down slightly with Atobe in his arms.

“What’s happening?” Atobe gasped. Once that question left his lips, he found out the answer because when he lifted his head to look, he saw… Uncle Worthless was lifting up and down like he was riding a wave.

......

“Erm… the web appears to be moving…” Uncle Worthless still answered Atobe’s question.

“Phew… thankfully I moved fast.” Feng Bujue sighed in relief. “Or else the both of us would be caught inside the web as well.”

Xi Xi—Su Su—

The trill interrupted their conversation. This time, the sound had conspicuously moved much closer to them. The five players turned their heads at the same time and saw the giant shadow that crawled out from behind the giant crystal column…

Before the boss showed itself, every player thought this ‘her’ would be some kind of giant spider. The habit of spinning web, the method of feasting on captured prey, and the hidden fear of the butterfly boss towards ‘her’… many clues pointed towards the fact that ‘she’ should be a spider. But… she was not.

“So it is a silkworm…” This was something that Atobe was afraid of since he was young. His face was pale and his body was covered in goosebumps.

“That is one large caterpillar…” Pegasus who stood on the ground lifted his head to look at the giant worm that was wiggling over and he could not help but gasp.

“Stop spacing out, make your move!” While Ambitionist reminded Pegasus, he had already readied his light arrows. Instantly, several light arrows shot out like rain. Soon the light arrows landed on the giant worm’s body and then they shattered like snowballs and disappeared…

Seeing that, Ambitionist’s expression turned severe. The next second, he turned around and shouted as loud as he could at the top. “Brother Feng! Quickly save Uncle Worthless!”

“I am trying without you yelling at me…” Feng Bujue was also not in a good situation. “This web shaking up and down is making things so much more difficult… if we’re careless, all three of us will be caught inside it.”

“If it really can’t work, why don’t you go first. I will just use my ultimate…” Uncle Worthless was not looking so well. In comparison, he would rather die to a spider than being squished to death by a caterpillar.

“No, that won’t be necessary.” Feng Bujue instantly said to stop Uncle Worthless. Then after a pause, he turned to Atobe, “Atobe, you go down first, leave this to me.”

“Okay, you be careful…” Atobe replied. At that moment, he did not have much choice because when he was answering, Feng Bujue already let go of him.

“Do you have some other brilliant idea, Brother Feng?” Uncle Worthless enquired.

“Yes, and that is…” At that moment, Feng Bujue watched for the timing the giant web sink downwards, and then he raised his arm to grab Uncle Worthless by his shoulders. “…this!”

Huff—

The wind howled. Uncle Worthless felt the scene before his eyes changed. He was suddenly 2 metres aboveground and Feng Bujue was standing on the ground, using the same posture as before and was holding him by his shoulders.

“Hue!” The suction on his back disappeared instantly and Uncle Worthless started to fall. Thankfully he was physically agile and with a push from Feng Bujue, he did not fall flat on his face. After he steadied himself, Uncle Worthless thought about it before it hit him. “Oh! You have used this same skill when you were battling ROOT!”

“Desert Wind Spinning Kick~” Feng Bujue explained as he raised his right index finger to draw a circle in the air.

“Hey! If you such a convenient skill, why didn’t you use it sooner?” Atobe who had just landed on the ground realized the other two had already materialized beside him so he couldn’t help but raise his voice to ask.

“Mainly it is to save Stamina Points.” Feng Bujue answered easily. “Other than that… Considering this skill’s cooldown time, it was much faster for me to carry you to save them one by one.”

“Since we’re all down here…” Ambitionist standing not far away had stopped his light arrows attack (because he thought they were useless on the boss), he turned back to tell the trio, “I suggest… we run!”

On the other hand, Pegasus was still doggedly determined to unleash his endless Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken. “Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken! Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken!”

Again and again, one round after another… Not only was the posture perfect, the power was locked at the maximum and with each hit of the skill, the man had to shout out the name. One had to admit that… to be the champion of the Tournament of the Best, there was indeed something superior about Pegasus. From the start of the scenario until now, other than that one time when he announced he was hungry, at the other times, as long as the condition allowed it, Pegasus was a fountain of energy. Seeing this, even Feng Bujue could not help but be impressed, “Now this one is a monster that has a bottomless Stamina Point…”

But just as Brother Jue’s praise left his lips, Pegasus suddenly stopped attacking.

“Phew…” Pegasus sighed, turned around and used his bushy-eyed face that was surprisingly similar to the main character of a specific manga and said evenly, “I only have 100 Stamina Points left, let us run.”

At that moment, all four of his teammates were looking at his with an expression that said, ‘are you fucking kidding me’…

And Feng Bujue… slapped his face with his palm. He held his forehead and shook his head saying, “Never mind, I take back what I said earlier…”

Xi Xi—Su Su—

The strange trill began again. This time the sound gave the players a feeling… of a worm crawling directly into their ears and was directly chewing on their eardrums.

“Travellers from another world…” Suddenly in the stomach of the giant caterpillar, a voice spoke. The surprising thing was… the voice that came out from ‘her’ was the cute voice of a little girl. “Do you really think… you can escape from me?”
