Qingluo darted through the chaotic shadows among the shed roofs.
Seeing Gu Yuanchao land behind her, while Xin Shouyi and Mai Zheling were rapidly stabilizing the situation ahead, she frowned slightly.
She could not let these people free themselves up to interfere with her!
"Demon Spider Summoning!" Without hesitation, she activated her soul skill again.
A dense, dark-green halo spread along her path, and the ground churned once more.
Another two or three hundred dark-green venomous spiders crawled out, screeching, and fearlessly hurled themselves at the crowd and Gu Yuanchao, who was trying to pursue her.
Just as she used a spider thread to swing from the roof of a storage shed piled with ingredients toward a darker corner deep inside the kitchen, her sharp eyes caught the situation in the meat-cutting area ahead-a boy about her height, perhaps twelve or thirteen years old, was gripping a thick-backed bone cleaver and fiercely battling seven or eight small spiders.
The boy's eyes were red, his breathing slightly hurried, and sweat covered his forehead, yet the hand holding his knife was exceptionally steady.
At his feet lay three or four demon spider corpses, their shells split or limbs severed by his blade.
It's him? Qingluo recognized him as the boy who had delivered meals to "slaves" like her over the past two days: Gu Yuanchao's son, Gu Zijian.
At that moment, Gu Zijian felt little fear. There was only a fierce determination and focus that had been stirred awake.
During the far more brutal and dangerous battle when the Chen Residence was attacked over ten days ago, he had only been able to watch from afar as his father and the other clansmen fought bathed in blood. That sense of helplessness had pierced him deeply.
