New York, underground.
Two figures were sneaking around in the intricate network of ventilation holes and inspection passages.
They moved forward slowly, stepping on the dead insects and broken bones on the ground, bypassing the dense spider webs and cocoons of various sizes. From time to time, they could hear the sound of spider eggs bursting under pressure.
A foul smell quickly spread.
"Hey, how did you find this place? I'm beginning to admire you." Lin En covered his mouth and nose, and asked the little bug who was leading the way in front in a muffled voice.
"A shy big spider ran away as fast as it could when it saw me, all the way back to its nest." The little bug turned a blind eye to the eerie and terrifying place.
"Damn, do you spiders like to crawl into sewers? And why are we here? I feel like I'm going to be tangled in a spider web."
At this time, Lin En transformed into Ron. He just saw a spider egg being stepped on and burst, and a group of black white spiders ran out of it and fled towards the depths of the passage at a terrifying speed.
"Oh God, are they going to inform the mother spider?" Lin En had an unknown fear. His scalp tingled when he thought about facing the big Cthulhu spider with bared fangs and eight eyes.
"Don't worry buddy, they're just scared of me." Peter Parker said comfortingly.
"Besides, I don't like it here. I like the tall buildings in New York where I can swing around, you know."
"So what is our purpose here?"
"Hey, listen to me, I know a lot about spiders. They like to settle down near where they were born and will never go far away."
"As long as we follow the path of its lair, we will definitely find where he escaped from."
"And it was these cute little guys who cleared you of suspicion. You should be more polite to them." As he spoke, Peter Parker began to complain.
"Cute? Even snotty-nosed trolls are cuter than them!"
"Shh! I can sense that guy..." Peter Parker stretched out his hand to stop Lynn.
Lynn looked up and found that they had come to a wide space covered with white spider webs, like a cave wrapped in white gauze. Looking closely, there were several light black clumps on the layers of white spider webs, beating like a heart.
Soon, he heard a rustling sound, which must be the giant spider's legs rising and falling alternately.
As the sound got closer, Lin En could already feel the spider web trembling. He swallowed and hid behind the little bug - in terms of his attributes, he was a long-range output, so he should hide behind and poke.
"No—"
Peter Parker felt Lynn move behind him and whispered something was wrong.
As Spider-Man, he knew clearly the consequences of moving around on the spider web. Even the slightest vibration could be transmitted along the spider silk to the tactile nerves of the web owner.
Sure enough, the rustling sound suddenly accelerated and soon turned into a sound like tangled plastic, which was the sound of the spider silk deforming under the pressure of weight.
"Are you ready? Remember not to hurt her!" Seeing this, Xiao Chong changed his strategy.
"OK..." Lin En nodded and took out his wand - this thing couldn't be hidden. After all, he only knew a few simple silent spells and was far from being able to cast spells without a wand.
"Oh, the magic little wooden stick, is it similar to Doctor Strange's ring? Are you from Kamartalan too?" Facing a powerful enemy, Xiao Chong couldn't help but complain.
"That's Kamar-Taj, and I'm not from there." Lynn looked ahead carefully and responded passively.
"So where did you come from? Your magical powers seem like the magic in bedtime stories."
"Well, if I must say, I'm from Hogwarts." Lynn pouted.
"Hogwarts? It sounds like a mysterious castle. Hey, seriously, do you have a castle there? I think I could swing on those spires. I wonder what it would feel like." Xiao Chong became interested as he spoke.
"It is forbidden to swing around at will in Hogwarts, otherwise the school will deduct points, and if you are unlucky, you will bump into a stupid owl." Lin En was not in a good mood. The big spider was about to rush over. Can you be a little more nervous, buddy
"College? Are you saying there are a lot of mysterious guys like you there? Cool, do you have any admission requirements?" At such an urgent moment, Xiao Chong actually turned around and looked at Lin En, appearing very serious.
"Sorry, they only accept talented people, not Muggles."
"Muggle?"
"It's someone who can't do magic."
“I don’t really like this title.”
"Damn, I don't like the big spider either. It's coming over here!" Lin En slapped his forehead. He didn't expect that the little bug could be as talkative as Deadpool.
In the distance, a faint green light flickered and swayed, getting closer and closer, and it was extremely terrifying when reflected on the walls covered with spider webs. Soon, the green light changed direction and suddenly shot straight towards Lin En and Xiao Chong.
Lynn swore it was the scariest thing he had ever seen.
The green light came from a dozen eyes of varying sizes stacked together. They were weirdly and ugly, squeezed together and blended into each other, looking extremely creepy.
Below the eyes were fangs that were as dense and explosive as a cactus, dripping with unknown liquid, and grinding with a harsh noise.
Being stared down at by such an ugly head, Lin En felt unwell.
And looking further down, it is even more indescribable.
A huge and bloated body, composed of two constantly surging and shrinking bellies, surrounded by a mane full of steel needles... Its entire body is supported by a dozen mace-like legs, which rise and fall in no regular pattern, making it look shaky, yet extremely ferocious.
"Is this the cute guy you were talking about?" Lin En raised his voice unconsciously. He really wanted to give it a "funny funny" and let it put on shoes and do tap dance, but when he thought of that picture again, goosebumps suddenly stood up.
"Don't worry, it's harmless while I'm around..." Peter Parker squatted up, opened his arms, and prepared to intimidate it.
However, this did not work.
"Strange, why did it become naughty?"
"Shit, it's not being naughty, it's going to attack us!" Lynn saw that guy's eyes began to flash red, and it seemed to be getting angry.
"Oh no, get out of the way!" Xiao Chong was about to complain when he suddenly found that the big baby shot out its front legs, and then, a bunch of steel needles shot towards his face.
The bug hurriedly shot out a spider web to block most of the attacks, and at the same time shot out a spider silk to try to entangle the opponent's legs.
This time, however, he met his match.
The mutant spider contracted its abdomen and spit out a ball of spider silk, blocking the attack of the small insect.
"Damn it!"
