Versatile Mage

st importantly, the creatures were staying still instead of attacking them.

“Why do I feel like we are walking right into a trap?” Guan Yu spoke up.

“What do they want? Are they letting us pass because we are stronger? Are they preying on the weaker Mages behind us?” Zhao Manyan said.

“If they weren’t going to attack us, they wouldn’t have shown up in the first place, since we were completely unaware of their existence,” Lingling corrected him.

“This is so stressful.
I hate these creatures with hairy legs!” Jiang Yu said.
He was getting goosebumps.

Mo Fan began releasing the energy of his Dark Vein into their surroundings, including the blind corners that were blocked by the rocks, making sure there were no high-level creatures nearby.

Mo Fan was not too afraid of the Bone-Eating Spiders.
He was worried about some higher-level species hiding in the dark.
The mercenary group was going to suffer great losses if it was ambushed.

“AH!” A loud cry of agony echoed in everyone’s ears.

The dark environment was already making everyone uneasy.
The echoes of the scream in the canyon further sent chills down their spines.

Their range of vision was limited and the paths were narrow and meandering.
The people at the back were clueless about what was going on at the front.

“Back away, everyone! Move backward, go back to where our camp was!” Kuma yelled.

The others quickly retreated to the place where they had been going to set a camp at.

The cries kept going even when everyone was back at the camp.
It was obvious that the group had lost someone.
He was being surrounded by demon creatures and being eaten alive.

“How many did we lose?” Zhao Manyan asked.

“It sounds like there were three of them,” Nanyu answered, using her Sound Element.

“Seriously? We’ve already lost three? How deep have we gone so far?”

“The species of demon creatures on Tianshan Mountain are cunning and vicious.
The whole place is full of danger.
No mercenary group that came here is able to guarantee everyone’s safety.”

“But still, it’s too early for people to die here.
We didn’t even know how they died.
The spiders didn’t move at all.”

“I’ll go and ask,” Ai Jiangtu said.

Ai Jiangtu went to the front of the group and saw Kuma, Gavin, Tommy, and the captains of other teams had troubled faces.

“Are you sure you saw it clearly?” Kuma asked a mercenary sternly.

“Yeah, I swear I saw it.
It was on the ground.
I saw something with the silhouette of a huge spider moving on the ground.
The three scouts never returned after that,” the mercenary said with a pale face.

“What kind of spiders have the ability to camouflage themselves!? I thought only demon creatures at the Commander-level and above could camouflage themselves!?” Gavin cursed.

“We have underestimated the demon creatures on Tianshan Mountain!”

Ai Jiangtu’s expression sank when he heard the conversation.

Camouflage…

In other words, the Bone-Eating Spiders would look exactly the same as the rocks if they stayed still and closed their eyes.
People would have no clue the creatures were there even when they passed by.

It was why the three scouts had died!
