After killing several seahorse monsters, Fu Hua and Kumoko reached a low-lying area. Suddenly... several hulking monsters that had been lurking there leaped out of the lava. They looked like giant catfish and lunged at the human and the spider.
"Fu Hua, look out... huh???"
Unable to use Appraisal and unable to smell the monsters because they were in the lava, Kumoko was startled when the enormous catfish ambushed them!
She was about to drag Fu Hua out of the way when she saw that Fu Hua's expression hadn't changed. Just as the monsters were about to bite them, Fu Hua swung a fist wearing the Taixu's Grip gloves into the jaw of the nearest catfish monster.
Fu Hua must have been careful not to smash the body to pieces, because her punch didn't blow the monster apart. She simply sent it flying upward.
The catfish monster that had lunged at them shot more than ten meters into the air, then fell helplessly back down!
Before Kumoko could even get to them, Fu Hua's second punch hit another catfish monster, followed immediately by a third!
Fu Hua was incredibly fast, her punches a blur. The three catfish monsters lurking there had barely launched their attack before she sent each of them flying with a single punch.
Only after all three catfish had landed on the shore did Kumoko finally manage to react...
She looked at the three enormous catfish monsters lying motionless on the shore and hurriedly used Appraisal on them.
