This actor is full of tricks.

"be careful."

Captain Wang reached out and grasped at the air, and a rusty iron sword appeared in his hand.

The other team members were also on high alert, cautiously making their way up to the 17th floor.

Normally, when dealing with strange events, they would just make a show of it and slip away, but now, because there's a live stream, they have to pretend to be very dedicated.

"Dear viewers, the streamer is about to head to the most dangerous and terrifying 17th floor. If you like this, please give it a like, comment, and share. This is really important to the streamer. If you can afford it, please send a rocket to support the streamer."

"What time is it? Still thinking about making money!" Captain Wang cursed under his breath. He didn't expect that even at this point, the backpacker was still thinking about gifts. He was practically willing to risk his life for money.

The tense atmosphere prevented him from even questioning why Lin Jue, an ordinary person, could remain so calm at this moment.

When Captain Wang arrived on the seventeenth floor, he shivered and cursed under his breath, "This place is so cold, it's like a giant icebox."

"Isn't this how it is wherever there are supernatural occurrences? It seems Captain Wang rarely visits supernatural sites in person." Lin Jue knew how to be sarcastic, and at this moment, he didn't forget to make a subtle sarcastic remark.

"How despicable!" Captain Wang gritted his teeth and reached out to clear away a small piece of spider web in front of him.

Wait, a spider web?

What a huge spider web!

Captain Wang realized what was happening and was immediately startled. The spider web was already more than ten meters wide, occupying the entire lounge outside the stairwell. Each strand of spider silk was like a nylon rope. It was hard to imagine how big a spider must be to create such a large web.

"Looks like that kid was right, there really is a giant spider hiding in here." Captain Wang glanced back at Lin Jue, who was still quietly asking for a rocket at the back of the group, and for the first time, he began to doubt Lin Jue's identity.

This guy is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface; his meticulous observation skills alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Captain, should we still go in?" a team member asked in a low voice, his voice filled with barely suppressed tension. Such a large spider web blocked their way, and anyone could tell that the strange creature hiding inside was not simple.

These guys have the strength, but they're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. They only go through the motions when dealing with strange events. If they were really going to fight something supernatural, they'd probably run away faster than anyone else.

"Go in! Why aren't you going in!?"

Captain Wang gritted his teeth. In fact, he was also having second thoughts. But he was, after all, a third-tier expert. He had struggled through blood and fire to get where he was. Although he hadn't made any progress for a long time and hadn't fought any monsters, he was still braver than the ordinary team members.

He gripped his rusty sword tightly, and with a few flashes of sword light, he shattered the spider web blocking his path and stepped inside first.

Seeing that their captain had gone in, the other team members could only follow. Lin Jue slowly followed at the back, picking up a spider silk thread to examine it.

This is just ordinary spider silk, not very sticky, and not poisonous at all, only a bit thicker than regular spider silk. Judging from this, the spider hiding on the 17th floor might not be that powerful. It's just unknown whether it's a member of a cult, or simply a phantom hiding on the 17th floor.

The corridor on the 17th floor was darker and smelled worse than on the 16th floor, which convinced Lin Jue that the room with the shrine was on this floor.

Captain Wang and his team walked slowly, more vigilant than they had been on the 16th floor, nervously scanning their surroundings, as if afraid a terrifying giant spider might burst out from the tightly closed doors.

"Qi Lin said that he was in an elevator at the time, and the elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor. After he got out, he found that the layout of the 17th floor had changed, and he was surrounded by flesh and blood." Lin Jue looked in the direction of the elevator lobby and thought to himself, "In other words, the flesh and blood room should be on the other side of the elevator."

However, they are currently using the stairs, which are in different directions from the elevator, one to the west and the other to the north. He couldn't leave the group to check on his own, so he could only remind Brother 0 later to go check over there.

"Nothing seems out of the ordinary here, it's about the same as the 16th floor." A teammate walking in front of Lin Jue muttered, but before he could finish speaking, he turned around and glared at Lin Jue with obvious displeasure: "Why are you grabbing my foot?"

"Am I crazy? Why would I crawl on the ground and grab your feet?" Lin Jue was baffled by what he was being said. The next moment, his eyes changed slightly, and he pointed his phone at the feet of the teammate.

In the dim light of the phone, you could see that the team member's foot was stuck to a ball of spider silk. Not only his foot, but also the door and the floor to their right were covered in spider silk.

Upon seeing this, the team member's pupils constricted rapidly, and he almost screamed. Fortunately, Lin Jue reacted quickly and covered the other person's mouth. At the same time, his gaze turned to the room on the right.

The door to that room was ajar, and the crack was stuffed with spider silk, clearly indicating that the spider was hiding in that room.

"With a little effort, the foot will come out; this spider silk isn't very sticky." Lin Jue released his hand from the team member's mouth and quietly leaned against the door to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

The room was quiet, but an extremely strong sense of oppression emanated from the door. Without a doubt, a huge creature was hiding behind the door.

"What's wrong?" Captain Wang, who was walking at the front, noticed that the two had fallen behind and hurriedly returned. When he saw the cobwebs on the door, his expression changed slightly. He gripped his rusty sword tightly, placed his other hand on the door, and whispered, "Backpackers, stay away, or you might get hurt."

Lin Jue nodded obediently and retreated to the very edge.

Squeak.

Captain Wang slowly pushed open the half-closed door, and as the door opened, a vast expanse of black mist, like a boundless ocean, was instantly reflected in Lin Jue's eyes.

When his True Eye Dharma Eye sensed this resentment, Lin Jue's previously relaxed expression finally changed: "Be careful!"

The intensity of this resentment even surpassed that of He Wen and Bi Zheng; the spider monster had reached the A-level!

boom!
The door, which was slowly being pushed open inwards, was suddenly flung outwards, slamming Captain Wang and him against the corridor wall on the other side.

On the now empty doorframe, blood-stained feet had been planted, causing a hideous and terrifying monster to appear before everyone's eyes. (End of Chapter)
