Chapter 44: Encounter a Deadly Spider, Counter-attack
The pilot of the helicopter had died, and Welsh did not know how to fly a plane.
Therefore, the two of them decided on a route. First, they would take a boat from Borneo to Bangladesh, and then they would return to Royo City.
Welsh carried Liz on his back as they passed through the jungle of Borneo. They were very careful along the way.
Among the dangers they encountered, they ran into a swamp. There were only a few wooden stakes on it, and below was a calm river.
“Hold on tight.”
Welsh reminded her and carried Liz on his back as they walked on the wooden stakes.
If Welsh was alone, he could easily pass through like a bird. But now, with Liz, there was undoubtedly a lot more burden.
And taking the water route was an even more undesirable method.
Especially in a primitive forest like this, which was full of dangers everywhere. Everything seemed to be in a peaceful slumber, but there might be big and dangerous creatures hidden underneath.
If one was not careful, one might face a fatal danger.
For example, the giant octopus and the giant python that they had encountered earlier could all be considered the fangs of the Grim Reaper.
Although he had magical energy, he might even die if he was poisoned in this godforsaken place.
“Welsh, why don’t you put me down?”
Liz said worriedly as she looked at the swaying wooden stake.
“Don’t speak.”
Welsh instructed.
He stepped on the wooden stakes while looked around with caution, guarding against any sudden attacks from underwater monsters.
Fortunately, they passed through the river without encountering any major dangers. Both of their hearts calmed down.
But at this moment, a hissing sound came from the forest in front of them.
Welsh was shocked and looked ahead with his sharp eyes.
In less than a moment, a huge spider rushed over from the forest.
Its body was as big as an adult sheep. It was a colorful black. Its sharp mouthparts rubbed against each other as it ran over with its claws.
Liz’s scalp went numb. She said anxiously, “Welsh, what should we do?”
She had forgotten that women’s rights were paramount in this world. When she encountered danger, she actually asked for Welsh’s opinion.
It was obvious that in her heart, Welsh had already become someone she could rely on.
For some reason, as long as Welsh was around, she felt very safe.
Run!
Welsh moved his legs and ran towards another jungle.
Because he had just treated Liz’s injury, he had used too much magic energy. Originally, he didn’t have use so much, but he had used a part of the magic energy tp quietly improved Liz’s physique.
Right now, he was no match for this spider.
Welsh carried Liz on his back as he shuttled through the forest at a rapid speed.
But the spider was clearly unwilling to give up on the prey right in front of its eyes, and was closing in on them step by step.
The distance between the two continued to decrease.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, the spider spat out a white silk thread, wanting to wrap it around Welsh’s legs.
With a weird move, Welsh made the spider’s white silk miss.
He was thinking of countermeasures. If this continued, the spider would definitely catch up to them and they would then become a delicious meal for the spider.
Hmm?
At this moment, he found a cliff in front of him and immediately came up with a plan.
Let’s do it!
Liz hugged Welsh’s neck tightly and looked behind her from time to time. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
The spider was less than twenty meters away from them. If they were entangled by its white silk, Liz could not imagine what would happen next.
The cliff was getting closer and closer.
Welsh paused for a moment and counted down in his heart: five, four, three, two, one…
This scared Liz to death.
When the spider was less than seven or eight meters away from him, Welsh rushed towards the cliff in the distance.
Near the cliff, there was a rock that was shaking. It weighed at least a thousand pounds.
And the rock was Welsh’s killer move.
When he climbed up the cliff, the spider happened to be climbing from the bottom to the top. Welsh only needed to push down the huge rock in front of him and the spider would be crushed into pieces.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The spider kept spitting out white silk. Welsh relied on his sense of danger from his previous life to dodge them one by one.
It was as if there was an accurate radar positioning installed behind him.
Welsh poured magic energy into his legs, and it was as if he was walking on flat ground even if he was on the cliff. His body climbed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was at the top of the mountain.
He looked back at the spider chasing behind them and sneered.
“Goodbye, my friend.”
Welsh kicked the huge rock down.
He did not kick it the moment he reached the cliff. Instead, he waited until the spider was about to reach the top before kicking the rock down.
This prevented the spider from having extra time to dodge.
He did not have extra magic energy to escape the spider’s continued pursuit, so he could not afford to make a mistake this time.
In the end, he succeeded.
The spider was hit on the head by the giant rock, and its head exploded on the spot. Then, the giant rock rolled over its body.
The crisis was averted.
And this scene.
Liz, who was behind Welsh, saw it and was instantly stunned.
In such a short time, he could actually think of such a perfect plan and successfully averted the crisis.
He was smart, calm, and composed. He was also handsome.
For a moment, Liz could not help but be a little infatuated with him.
Thinking back to when she first met Welsh, she had thought that Welsh was a liar. However, after experiencing so many things, Liz was unconsciously attracted by Welsh’s unique personality.
Especially when they were facing the giant python, everyone had a look of fear on their faces. However, he actually went against the odds and successfully saved her life.
Actually, the things that happened before were not entirely due to the blood orchid. It was more due to Welsh’s charisma that convinced her.
“Welsh, rest for a while. You’re tired too.”
“Okay!”
Welsh was indeed about to collapse since he had come a long way.
After a short rest, the two of them arrived at the Borneo River.
The Borneo River was thousands of feet wide. The current was rapid, and the waves were turbulent.
Coincidentally, the two of them met a transport ship
This ship was used to transport large-scale goods. The captain was an honest middle-aged man with a beard. He enthusiastically said that he would give them a free trip as their route would pass through Bangladesh.
Welsh thanked him.
After successfully arriving in Bangladesh, the two of them called Emily who helped them buy two plane tickets to go back.
Because all their money was lost in Borneo, even their phones were borrowed.
When they returned to Royo City, it was already night time.
