There was a giant spider that was double their size that was above them and the worst part of it all was that the giant spider wasn't alone!
All around the giant spider were smaller spiders that looked similar to the giant spider, all of them looking down on them.
The most terrifying thing was that every single spider had a hungry look in their eyes as they looked at them. It was clear that it was mealtime for them and they weren't guests invited to the meal, they were the meal!
They could tell from the aura that came from each of these spiders that they were all in the Gold Realm and the mother spider was in the Platinum Realm.
Normally this wouldn't have mattered since they had the monsters Lin Fan and Angela who were able to destroy five hundred beasts from the Gold to Platinum Realm alone, but the situation was different right now. Instead of being able to move freely like before, they were currently trapped in the webs. This was even the case for Lin Fan and Angela.
While the three of them were worrying for their lives, Lin Fan and Angela were calmly observing the situation.
It was true that they were also trapped inside the web, but this web was nothing more than paper to them. It would take a simple wave of their hand just to break out, but for now they didn't do that.
Angela was waiting for Lin Fan while Lin Fan was currently observing the spiders with an interested gaze. These spiders would make great puppets for Brainy just based on their abilities to reproduce and create natural traps. As long as he were to bring them out with him, he would have a reliable support team to work with his ant army.
Once he made up his mind to capture them, he turned to Angela to give her a nod before saying, "Capture the mother, you can kill the rest."
Angela gave a nod back before life energy gathered around her.
Both she and Lin Fan gathered their life energy around them before shredding the webbing around them. The webs were cut to pieces just like paper in front of a blade when met with their life energy, they had no chance to resist at all.
This spider army didn't create a single threat for Lin Fan and Angela since they couldn't break through their defenses at all. Not even peak Platinum Realm beasts had broken their defenses, how could these Gold Realm fodder do anything to them.
Lin Fan and Angela quickly crushed their way through the spiders and soon there was only a single spider left, the biggest one.
As they attacked, they had also cut off a few legs from this big spider, making it hard for it to escape and to fight back. The large spider curled back into its webs, but that was no use at all.
The webs had no effect against Lin Fan and Angela since they had controlled their life energy to form barriers around them. The mother spider might have been in the Platinum Realm as well, so the life energy infused webs were enough to keep the three young geniuses trapped, the webs couldn't do a single thing to Lin Fan and Angela.
There was a desperate look in the mother spider's eyes, but it knew that it could do a thing. As it watched Lin Fan and Angela approach, it continued moving back until it was up against a wall. It was so scared that it had forgotten that it would have been able to crawl up the wall and Lin Fan and Angela wouldn't have been able to follow it since they couldn't move up as freely.
Finally when Lin Fan and Angela were in front of it, the spider suddenly flipped over and showed its stomach, showing that it had surrendered.
Lin Fan came forward with an ominous smile and a seed in its hand. When he was in front of the spider, he held his hand out to the spider with the seed in his palm.
The mother spider could understand what Lin Fan wanted it to do, but it was very unwilling since it didn't know what this seed was.
The mother spider tried to rear back so it wouldn't have to eat the seed, but Lin Fan took its head and moved it towards his palm. Finally the mother spider didn't have a choice as it swallowed the seed.
It didn't take long before the seed had completely taken over the mother spider and it was completely docile.
Lin Fan brought it into his system's pet storage where he had it molt, letting it regrow the legs that it had lost. However, before doing so, he also had the spider lay its eggs.
Seeing the stack of spider eggs that was in his system storage interface, he revealed a smile. Once these spiders hatched, if they worked with the Desert Horrors that he had, he would have a complete army.
After taking care of the mother spider, Lin Fan headed back to the three young geniuses who were still trapped inside the web. With a flick of his hand, there was a life energy blade that came out that cut through these webs, freeing them.
They didn't waste any more time on this. Since the mother spider had been taken care of and the passage was right in front of them, there was only one way to go.
They quickly moved across the spider webs to reach the passage and then they charged down that passage as fast as they could.
Finally when they reached the room at the end, they found a room that had two pairs of manacles on the walls and several sofas with games on the table placed in front of them.
This time, it wasn't a sign that gave them their instructions, rather it was a Voice Orb that was placed right above the top of the door.
Lord Yin's voice said, "Welcome to the final stage. Congratulations on passing everything before this, you really have shown your abilities. Now we'll be giving you a simple task, just choose two of you to chain to this wall and you'll be free to pass. Otherwise, you'll have to wait six hours before you can continue forward."
Lin Fan knit his brows when he heard this since he had a rough estimate of the time in his mind already. Six hours, they wouldn't have enough time.
Looking down at his watch, he found that they had passed that by just a single minute. They currently had five hour and fifty nine minutes left to finish this trial.
The others also had watches, so naturally they knew the time as well. They could also see that they would be out of time if they were to wait.
Their only options now were to abandon two people here or to wait and face the beast wave that would be released.
The first option meant that at least some people would survive, the second option meant that they would all die together.
However, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves since they all viewed themselves as more important than anyone else. That was their pride as young geniuses. They even felt they were more valuable than Lin Fan.
Lin Fan might be powerful now, but if they were given enough time to train, they deluded themselves into thinking that they would be able to catch up to Lin Fan.
So there was a silence that filled the room.
No one listened to anything else that Lord Yin said since it was all useless and they had heard the main part. Now all that mattered was how to deal with this situation.
The young geniuses looked at each other and they were considering going against Lin Fan. If they had no other choice, they might as well take their chances on going against Lin Fan and hoping they might win instead of facing the path of certain death.
But then thinking of how much strength Lin Fan had shown during their trip together, that thought was completely erased.
They knew that they had no chance, so they had no choice but to be resigned to their fate.
This stage was designed as nothing more than to waste time for them.
When designing this trial, Lord Yin and Lord Jin both believed that they would never make it to this final stage, so they hadn't put much thought into this final stage.
On the off chance that they did make it to this final stage, they wanted to use this final stage to stall for time to release the beast wave.
Of course, this was a game to them, so they had to make it possible to win, which was why they gave the second option. They wanted to see these humans tear themselves apart from the inside just to survive, it would be much more fun to watch this than to see them being torn apart by the beast wave.
So in the end, they had no choice, so they all sat down and picked up a few games to play.
They knew that this might be the final few hours of their lives, so they might as well enjoy it.
As for Lin Fan and Angela, they weren't worried at all. They hadn't shown all their trump cards yet, so they definitely could handle themselves.
So the time ticked down and finally there was only five minutes left before the beast wave came.
