The Web-Woven Illusion Trap

The thick, deathly pale spiderwebs completely sealed off the entire dining room door.

Several strands of spider silk fell from above, swaying in the air. If you looked closely in the darkness, you could see tiny spider larvae hanging from the swaying silk.

The Little spider had twisted, hideous human faces growing on their backs, like vengeful spirits, staring at anyone who approached their web.

The Ghost spider's main attack methods are illusions and Mental Attack.

Yu Xing had been sitting with his legs crossed, watching the Ghost spider spin its web for ages, and now it was finally coming in handy. He was happy for the Ghost spider.

Who wouldn't want to earn a delicious meal through their hard work?

Just watching was boring, and the VIP seats weren't enough for Yu Xing, so he simply stood up and quietly walked into the area covered in spiderwebs. The ghosts around him looked at him with confusion, as if they thought his unconventional behavior was noteworthy.

Yu Xing mainly wanted to experience just how powerful Ghost spider's illusions were. Just as Ghost spider began to laugh, the boastful believer fell silent.

The believers weren't afraid, of course; rather, they were instantly drawn into the illusory web woven by the Ghost spider. Their bodies were naturally disconnected from the mental feedback, as if their computers had been turned off, leaving them standing still.

The Ghost spider remained motionless, hanging upside down on its web. This illusion required the Ghost spider to expend energy to maintain, and although the Ghost spider looked terrifying with its eight long, incredibly sharp legs, it was actually quite brittle and completely unusable as a weapon.

Its method of killing is to use illusions to gather enough fear from its prey, then weave that fear into a pupa, wrapping the prey inside, and finally transforming it into a tightly wrapped white spider pupa, forever encased in a dense spider web.

In fact, Yu Xing said that he could easily go up and snap the necks of the believers at this time, and it would be effortless. However, he was behind and the believers were in front, separated by many layers of spider webs. If he wanted to get through, he would definitely get tangled up and dirty.

Yu Xing didn't want to get herself dirty, and the wooden tubs in the reception area had stopped supplying hot water.

So he also wanted to kill these believers, but decided to try a different approach. There just happened to be a spider here; why not take advantage of a ready-made partner?

He stealthily approached the Ghost spider from behind, his feet inevitably brushing against some of the tougher spider silk that wasn't so easily stuck to his body. The Ghost spider sensed his presence through the vibrations of the web, but simply accepted it without bothering to deal with him.

Many ghosts showed goodwill towards Yu Xing. Some were intimidated by the power of Yu Xing's curse, while others simply didn't want to cause trouble. Seeing their fellow ghosts being so polite, they followed suit, treating a living person as one of their own.

The Ghost spider is the latter. After seeing the attitudes of the Hide-and-Seek Ghost and the Hungry Ghost, it immediately gave up the idea of turning Yu Xing into food, which shows that it is not unintelligent.

Yu Xing's favorite type of ghost is one that is not lacking in intelligence.

He had already walked up behind Ghost spider ignored him, so he took the initiative and poked Ghost spider's butt with his index finger.

Ghost spider: "..."

The believer, trapped in the illusion, twitched his finger. It was possible that a loophole had appeared in the illusion; clearly, touching the Ghost spider's physical form had a negative impact on the illusory world created by the Ghost spider.

The Ghost spider couldn't let him cause trouble, so it let out a warning growl and even raised its limbs at Yu Xing, as if to drive him away.

"Don't send me away yet, let's talk about something." Yu Xing withdrew her fingers. "What kind of illusion are you creating? I'm curious, can I be included in it too?"

Gu Qiao

Ghost spider: "..."

Its asymmetrical, ugly face revealed a blank expression, almost like that of a human. Perhaps, after all these years as a ghost, it had never seen such a request before.

The Female Ghost beside them, her body entangled in vines and pierced by thorns, cast a glance that was hard to describe.

"Get me in there, and I can scare them in the illusion for you. Oh, right, I wasn't wrong, were I? You're weaving a collective illusion because they all fall into it at the same time." Yu Xing saw the Ghost spider staring blankly and poked its rear end again. It has to be said that the spider's chubby body, though called a rear end, is actually more like a tail end; the furry texture is quite nice.

This nearly saved the believer from his hallucination.

The Ghost spider was furious, whether because it felt it had been teased or because its food had almost slipped away, it was naturally more than happy that Yu Xing had asked to enter the illusion. If Yu Xing went in and couldn't come out, even better, it would have another delicious dish.

A strange cry emanated from the mouthparts of the Ghost spider, a sound that made Yu Xing's mind feel as if it had been pricked by a needle, leaving her somewhat dazed.

But nothing seemed to change around us; oh, the temperature seemed to have dropped.

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow, glanced to the side, and suddenly her gaze sharpened.

Wrong.

The believers have disappeared.

The believers who were standing in the same spot just moments ago have vanished. In their place, several holes, seemingly violently torn open, have appeared in the dense spiderweb, large enough for one or more people to pass through.

"Not bad, just one call and I'm already in the illusion I've created." Yu Xing immediately became interested.

As he just said, this is a collective illusion. The believers in his illusion are the real believers. It is likely that the believers in the illusion thought they had already dealt with the Ghost spider and tore open the hole in the spider web to enter the food room in the illusion.

Yu Xing simply followed these openings into the caves without lifting a finger.

Killing believers directly with curses was indeed boring, and as he used the power of curses more and more often, the tree-shaped pattern became more and more solid. Although this was related to power, Yu Xing could barely sense a faint sense of ominous premonition from it.

Coupled with his penchant for entertainment, Yu Xing was happy to try different ways of killing believers, such as giving them a nightmare-like experience in a hallucination.

He used to find the spiderwebs sticky, but now it didn't matter in the hallucination, since he wouldn't get dirty in reality. His location was separated from the believer's original location by a thick spiderweb, but the hole the believer had torn open included both sides of him.

"Should we go from the side...?"

Yu Xing missed the initial hallucination and could only rely on trace analysis.

A flank attack is definitely not as short as a frontal assault, forcing them to choose the flank. This means that in the minds of the believers, Ghost spider is capable of fighting, and they were forced to make a detour while entangled with Ghost spider.

The deformed Little spider in the illusion was also trying to make its presence known. Just as Yu Xing was crawling into the hole, a Little spider landed on Yu Xing's head with a thud.
