Chapter 38

Chu Nan, who had fallen to one side, turned over and, seeing Su Yao in danger, his adrenaline surged to the third level. His blood raced, his heart pounded like a drum, and he let out a roar as he leaped into the air.

His right leg, which seemed to have a faint glow, burst with the aura of primal force, much like the peculiar claw of the giant spider.

With two crisp sounds, the two spider legs were kicked off by Chu Nan’s foot. At the same time, he grunted, his right leg throbbing with pain, and he tumbled through the air, landing heavily on the ground.

The giant spider also let out a terrifying hiss, its body tilting as it was kicked by Chu Nan’s terrifying foot, dragging Su Yao to the side.

Tao Zhi, Chen Mo, and Tang Sanli all rushed forward in a frenzy at this moment.

This giant spider was truly terrifying, the most fearsome monster they had encountered since the earthquake.

The other dozen or so spiders had retreated to the side, making a faint rustling sound, not daring to approach but not fleeing either, watching from a distance as if waiting for an opportunity to scavenge.

Tao Zhi, covered in blood, his massive body trembling, suddenly spread his arms and let out a loud shout, using his enormous body as a weapon to collide heavily with the giant spider again.

The giant spider, with three of its legs broken and its back shell kicked apart by Chu Nan, was enraged to the extreme. Its ugly mouth continuously oozed liquid, and it suddenly swung its body in the air, colliding heavily with the stone wall.

Su Yao, who was holding onto its sharp claw, could not break free due to the sticky spider silk. This collision caused her to crash solidly into the stone wall, letting out a惨叫, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and sliding down the wall as she released the special spider claw.

Tao Zhi’s collision missed, and Chen Mo and Tang Sanli rushed forward. Tang Sanli, holding an electric baton, turned it on and thrust it forward, just in time to hit the giant spider that had just collided with the stone wall.

The giant spider, struck by the electric baton, trembled all over. Suddenly, its special spider claw swung, and Tang Sanli let out a piercing scream as half of his face was brutally cut off, revealing the white bone beneath.

He dropped the electric baton, clutched his bloody face, and screamed, stumbling backward. Suddenly, his foot was tripped by a strand of spider silk, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The giant spider, suspended in the air, continuously spewed spider silk in all directions, unknowingly weaving a complex and massive web in the large cave. Now, everyone was more or less caught in the spider silk, becoming its prey.

It intended to capture and eat its prey one by one.

Chen Mo, filled with fear, turned to escape, but his body trembled as three strands of spider silk stuck to his back, and two more strands blocked his path.

From behind came a rustling sound, and the giant spider charged at him.

Su Yao and Tao Zhi did not retreat. They mustered all their strength and charged forward again. They had been in a state of heightened adrenaline for quite some time, and their bodies were trembling. They could not hold on much longer, and a sense of despair was growing in their hearts.

However, they could not escape; they could only fight to the death, perhaps leaving a glimmer of hope.

Chu Nan also got up from the ground. This time, instead of charging at the terrifying giant spider, he turned and leaped several meters, suddenly bursting with strength, and pounced on the dozen or so smaller spiders that were watching from a distance.

The group of small spiders became agitated. They seemed to fear the giant spider and did not dare to compete for food with it. However, seeing Chu Nan charge at them, they became agitated and pounced on him.

“Hold on—”

Chu Nan let out a roar, and with a powerful strike from his hands, he smashed a small spider that had pounced on him. Then, with a heavy kick in the air, he sent two small spiders flying like cannonballs, smashing into the stone wall and turning into two piles of mush.

Chu Nan’s burst of strength, as a third-level Awakened, was overwhelmingly powerful against the group of small spiders. His inability to defeat the giant spider was only because the giant spider was too terrifying, not only with its hard body but also with its steel-like spider silk and lightning-fast movement on the silk. Most terrifying of all was its special, sharp spider claw, which could cut through anything.

Even with Chu Nan, Su Yao, and the others fighting together, the final outcome would still be their deaths. The fact that they had held on this long was already a miracle.

The giant spider was extremely terrifying among the mutated creatures. If it were an Awakened, its level would be higher than Chu Nan’s current level.

Hearing Chu Nan’s roar, Su Yao and Tao Zhi let out terrifying screams. Tao Zhi’s massive body was splattered with blood, cut by numerous wounds, and at the same moment, he grabbed the giant spider and threw it heavily.

With a “boom,” the giant spider was flung into the air.

Su Yao picked up the electric baton that Tang Sanli had dropped and thrust it into the wound on the giant spider’s back, which Chu Nan had kicked open.

The electric shock of several hundred thousand volts made the giant spider tremble all over, and it suddenly went mad. Its body, entangled in the spider silk, flipped in the air, and its remaining five spider claws spread out like a meat grinder, capable of shredding anything that touched them.

Su Yao and Chen Mo were forced to retreat.

The giant spider rolled around, finally shaking off the electric baton and swinging to the side of the stone wall. Its remaining five claws sprang out, and its body flew through the air, pinning Chen Mo to the ground.

Chen Mo let out a series of screams, his glasses long gone, and he struggled desperately. Suddenly, a chill ran through his abdomen as the sharp spider claw pierced his stomach, piercing through his body.

On the other side, Chu Nan charged into the group of small spiders like a madman, ignoring their attacks on him. Almost every strike smashed a spider, and he absorbed a strand of genetic force. In his mind, the genetic core, which was already close to its limit, exploded with a loud boom after he kicked another spider to pieces.

A dizziness flashed through Chu Nan’s mind, and his body swayed, falling back. His mind felt as if it were boiling over.

A large amount of genetic force surged into his mind and then flowed through his entire body.

This time, the amount of genetic force was at least two to three times greater than when he evolved from level two to level three.

Every inch of his skin, every cell in his body, seemed to be boiling, greedily absorbing the genetic force, evolving and becoming stronger and more active.

Even his wounds were healing faster, and his body, which had become increasingly fatigued, was reinvigorated with new energy.

He had broken through. At the most critical moment, he had broken through again, and his genetic core had successfully evolved to level four. His physical attributes were once again enhanced by the genetic force, and his adrenaline could not only be secreted faster and in greater quantities but could also be controlled for super stimulation.

This ability, which Chu Nan had vaguely been able to use at level three, was now much easier to control with just a thought.

He could control his adrenaline to enhance his hearing, making it several times, even ten times, better, or to enhance his vision, giving him superhuman sight.

This targeted stimulation was much more effective than the previous overall enhancement.

The most noticeable change was in his right leg.

A continuous flow of genetic force poured into his right leg, strengthening the bones, blood vessels, tendons, and muscles. A strange force within it was boiling and roaring, as if it was just one step away from a complete eruption.

A faint glow began to seep out from his right leg.

Chu Nan did not hesitate. He turned his body, ignoring the remaining small spiders, and kicked off with his right leg. A faint golden glow flashed in the dim space, and he shot forward like a rocket, moving so fast that only a blur remained.

The explosive power of his right leg was terrifying, at least ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

With a “boom,” from the moment he kicked off to the moment he pounced, he covered nearly twenty meters in an instant, kicking the giant spider’s abdomen from below.

With a “plop,” the faint golden glow pierced through the giant spider’s body, shattering a hard shell on its back and spewing out a mixture of green liquid and the golden glow.

The giant spider let out a terrifying, hoarse scream, and its body, as large as a round table, flipped in the air four or five times before crashing heavily to the ground.

Su Yao and Tao Zhi, who had just mustered their last bit of strength to stand up, were stunned, unable to believe their eyes.

Is this still Chu Nan? Is this still a human?

Chu Nan’s right leg was tinged with a faint, not very noticeable glow, visible only in the dim light. If the light were brighter, this faint glow might not be visible, but what was truly frightening was the force contained within his right leg.

With a burst of immense force, Chu Nan kicked off with both feet and charged at the fallen giant spider. Although he had not trained in martial arts, his body was light as a bird, and his powerful physical strength allowed him to perform various incredible actions, even if they were not aesthetically pleasing.

With a “boom,” he kicked the fallen giant spider, sending it crashing into the stone wall, splattering a large amount of green liquid.

Chu Nan landed in front of it, extended his hands, and grabbed the special, sharp spider claw, pulling it forcefully.

The giant spider let out a strange, hoarse sound, and even the others could tell it was a terrifying scream.
