Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Finally, ten minutes later, the two of them saw the light at the entrance of the cave without much surprise, and the cool wind from outside flowed into the cave, refreshing them.

The giant snake's lair is just its stronghold, not a maze. The structure is naturally relatively simple, and it is normal to be able to find the entrance and exit quickly.

"Pressure +6"

The two stood at the entrance and exit of the cave, finally leaving the complete darkness in the cave. The sky outside was a bit dark, but at least they no longer needed to use a flashlight to see things clearly.

Germain escaped from the dark environment and immediately materialized the "Hunter Badge" to check his pressure level.

As a result, he had stayed in the cave for about an hour, and his pressure level had soared from the initial 3 points to the current 74 points, which also included 5 points of resentment gift from the nest snake.

However, when Germain used the flashlight with Xiaodi, the interval between increases in his pressure value was significantly longer, which may be a revelation.

Darkness works against him, building up stress points, while light, his companion, slows down the process.

Germain had to be thankful that it was the right choice for them to enter the dark continent during the day. Once it was dark, the situation would probably be even worse.

At this time, there was a loud noise not far away, as if something fell.

"What is that?" Xiaodi put the flashlight back into her backpack and looked in that direction.

Germain shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and have a look."

They walked in that direction together. As they walked, Germain raised his head, and then he confirmed the reason why it was so dark here.

There are towering trees in all directions. The trunk of each tree covers an area comparable to that of a church. The lush branches and leaves are intertwined together, enough to be called "blocking the sky and the sun."

It is difficult for the sun's rays to penetrate the layers of leaves, and only a few lucky glimmers of light shine through, leaving sparse silhouettes all over the ground.

Suddenly, some vague shadow outlines flashed past.

Germain couldn't help but frown, but they quickly disappeared without a trace, like a fading nightmare.

Did I see it wrong?

"Germain?" Xiaodi was walking in front. Seeing that Germain was slow to follow, she turned around and called out in confusion.

"Coming," German replied.

The two of them reached the end, and there was a steep cliff in front of them. They stretched their heads and looked down, and saw that there was another layer of protrusions below, and at the bottom was the flat land scattered with withered yellow leaves.

In other words, this is a three-level valley, with steep mountain walls between each level. Germain and Xiaodi stood on the top level and had a bird's-eye view from above. It can be seen that this place is circular.

At the bottom of the valley, a monster the size of a two-story house fell. It was pitch black, covered with velvet, and had eight thick legs and sixteen green eyes.

"What a big spider." Xiaodi commented bluntly, then suddenly looked at Germain and explained rather redundantly, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the spider down there."

Germain did not deliberately conceal his identity as a member of the Phantom Troupe. When Xiaodi was curious to confirm it, he even lifted up his trousers and showed her the twelve-legged spider tattoo.

Xiaodi looked at the number "8" on the spider's abdomen and nodded repeatedly.

"A lot of people in Meteor Street idolize the Phantom Troupe."

"In their eyes, the Phantom Troupe has reorganized the order of Meteor Street, maintained balance, and improved living standards. Even the elders may ask them about any major issues."

This is the difference in how different angles and different people view the Phantom Troupe. They are heroes to others and enemies to me.

Back to the present.

"I know you're talking about the spider below." Germain replied briefly, then pointed to the spider, "Look clearly, the person standing next to the spider."

Xiaodi looked back, said "Huh", blinked her big eyes, and asked with some uncertainty: "She... is she Xiao Bisji? Or is she the person who stole Xiao Bisji's clothes?"

It's normal for her not to be completely sure. She hasn't seen Bisji's true form yet... Of course, Germain hasn't actually seen it either.

Next to the fallen spider, I saw a tall and burly woman with blond hair in a ponytail and a princess dress that was stretched to the limit. She raised her leg angrily and kicked the spider.

She put her hands on her hips, as if she was complaining about something, but her voice was too low, so neither Germain nor Xiaodi could hear her clearly.

"That's Bisji." Germain walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped to the lower level. He didn't stop talking in mid-air. "It should be said that it is her true appearance and fighting form."

Xiaodi also jumped down.

Both of them landed firmly on the second level.

"Combat form?" Xiaodi asked curiously as she followed Germain forward, "Is it one of Bisji's telekinesis abilities?"

Germain jumped to the bottom of the valley with her.

"It is indeed inseparable from her telekinesis ability."

"Do you know about 'limb bending'? It's a skill of killers, especially the Hakka family who are good at beating up enemies. It will leave an afterimage in place. You can think of it as Bisij's transformation skill."

In fact, a more appropriate example would be the disguise technique of Ilmi Phaidike. He used the "mind needle" to change his appearance, which is also a skill closely related to his telepathy ability.

Xiaodi still looked a little confused. She didn't know if she didn't understand, or if she understood, it was the same expression.

Germain further explained: "You know the silverback gorilla, right? It usually walks on four legs, but when it feels threatened, it will stand upright like a human and beat its chest..."

"Germain—" Bisji's roar came from afar, apparently hearing what Germain said, "If you keep talking, this spider will be your fate!"

German felt Bisji's anger, so he waved his hand helplessly and said no more.

When the two of them walked in front of Bisji, they both had to raise their heads to talk to her.

"Can I still call you little Bisji now?" Xiaodi's glasses, which had originally slid to the tip of her nose, slid back to the right position on the bridge of her nose because she raised her head. "You don't look any younger at all."

Bisji sighed, but still did not change back to the petite girl form.

"Germain, Xiaodi, let's not talk about personal topics for now. You shouldn't come down right away... Look up and see clearly. We are now surrounded by the enemy."

When Germain heard this, he remembered the blurry black figures he had seen not long ago, so he looked up again. Perhaps because of the angle and light, this time he finally saw the true forms of those outlines.

Just like the spider that Bisji had just knocked down, there were many identical spiders crawling on those towering trees. They hung on the branches and stared at them under the cover of the branches and leaves.

However, above these twenty spiders, wrapped in the branches and leaves, there is an extremely huge spider web.

A spider that is much fatter and more ferocious than other spiders is staying quietly in the center of the web.

Its sixteen eyes stared at Germain, Bisji and Xiaodi at the bottom of the valley.

The two thick claws of the giant spider swung up and down, as if a military flag was waved, and all the smaller spiders crawled down, like thousands of troops moving in unison.
