Using Snow White's footwork, Yaluoxia darted beneath Charm Spider and was about to punch her abdomen, but she evaded his attack with a light leap.

Hanging from her web, Charm Spider laughed. "It seems Nexis taught you quite a lot. Too bad you're so weak."

Qiu Lin shook his head. "We can't let a monster like this live, or he'll threaten the entire Insect Race someday."
