The moment the main gate opened, the sound of countless sharp jointed limbs scraping across the ground reached the three of them. Before Ling Xiao could react, Lilith had already grabbed him by the collar and teleported him away from the entrance.
At the same time the two of them teleported away, innumerable small spiders glowing with milky-white fluorescence poured out from inside the factory!
"Fuck, spiders!" Lilith cursed under her breath as she teleported backward another four or five times. "Damn it, I hate spiders most of all!"

Jiang Yu immediately raised her short bow and opened with a triple shot, pinning the three leading spiders to the ground. But when she reached for an arrow to fire a fourth shot, her hand froze.
