The undead nature of the Crawlers allows them to keep crawling on the ground, even if they're shattered into pieces.
Some Crawlers' heads have fallen off, yet the heads and bodies continue moving separately, truly acting independently.
Some Crawlers remain stuck on the cliffs of the canyon, with their dismembered limbs wedged in crevices, neither climbing up nor falling down.
Herag ignored these Crawlers and flew forward at full speed, quickly passing through the area inhabited by Crawlers.
These Crawlers mostly have very limited mobility, constantly twitching at the bottom of the canyon.
This canyon is even longer than Herag imagined; he's been flying for half an hour and still hasn't reached the end.
Now, the sounds of the Great Demon and Bawei fighting cannot be heard anymore; he's moved quite a distance away by now.
Herag gradually slowed down his speed a little, choosing to fly a bit further forward out of caution.
He planned to head a bit further south before continuing his journey eastward.
This polluted area is incredibly dangerous; any random demon appearing is something he simply cannot defeat.
Herag is well aware of his abilities, knowing he can escape once or twice, but he can't always count on getting away.
If he becomes the target next time, it'll be game over for him.
Two hours later.
Herag gradually stopped for two reasons.
Firstly, he's now far away from where he encountered the Great Demon and doesn't need to worry about encountering it again for the time being.
He hasn't come across any other demons along the way, truly seeing no other demons in the Great Demon's territory.
The second reason is that Herag found something amiss in the vicinity.
The Great Rift Canyon still shows no end, with only endless canyon ahead.
Upon arriving here, Herag discovered a multitude of spider webs around, the particularly large kind.
The canyon is filled with these webs, and he also found some small spiders.
These small spiders aren't even considered demons and are quite weak; Herag could stomp them to death easily.
However, Herag did not act recklessly; he avoided provoking the small spiders and even refrained from touching the webs.
The scene before him indicated to Herag that there might be spider-type demons nearby, though he couldn't tell exactly what kind.
His knowledge of polluted zones is too lacking; he lacks information.
Coming down from above the canyon and not encountering other demons, suddenly entering an area filled with spider webs signifies this place belongs to another demon.
Herag carefully observed the surroundings and monitored the feedback from Shenlan's environment detection.
So far no particular demons were detected, just some small spiders crawling about.
Concluding it's unwise to linger, Herag began ascending the canyon, intending to leave the area.
At that moment, ripples suddenly stirred in the surrounding space.
Seeing this spatial fluctuation, Herag was instantly gripped by a sense of intense danger, a dread of impending death.
All his hair stood on end, his power gathered, ready to activate the Plane coordinates on his left hand.
A paralysis sensation spread from the base of his spine throughout his body, leaving Herag rigid and unable to move, every muscle refusing to respond.
Not only that, but his internal magic power became extremely sluggish, and he could no longer use it properly.
The only system running smoothly was Shenlan.
Through Shenlan's environment detection, Herag quickly understood what had happened.
Behind him, a gigantic spider crawled through the void, with sixteen pairs of spider legs, each tipped with a poisonous stinger.
This massive spider had suddenly appeared from the void, and its stinger had precisely struck Herag's spine, injecting venom that paralyzed him completely.
Herag lost all mobility on the spot, not even having the time to activate the Plane coordinates.
Reflecting on the whole process, the giant spider seemed to have been residing in an alternate space, which is why it went undetected and not sensed by Shenlan's environment detection.
Herag believed there were no powerful demons nearby, unaware that he had already entered the spider's hunting range.
A strand of Spider Silk connected from the spider's tail to the sky, suggesting it was linked to another space.
Suspended upside down by the Spider Silk in the air, the spider began spinning numerous threads around Herag, enveloping him into a large silk ball.
Herag was covered with sticky mucus, freshly spewed from the spider's mouth.
Quickly, the surrounding Spider Silk wrapped him completely; fortunately, it formed a ball instead of a mummy, allowing some space to move inside.
Though the ball of Spider Silk was cramped, at least it didn't constrict Herag entirely; there was still some room to maneuver.
The problem was, Herag had no way to move at all.
After wrapping him into a silk ball, the spider began walking deeper into the canyon, carrying him suspended in the void.
Though immobilized and blind to the outside world, Herag continued using Shenlan's environmental detection to monitor the external situation.
After walking a distance, Herag noticed the spider heading towards a food storage area.
Within the wide canyon, numerous Spider Silk balls were piled up, presumably containing the spider's captured prey.
These balls accumulated, filling a corner; at least a few hundred seemed present.
The prey within these balls appeared dead or completely paralyzed.
Some particularly large balls suggested substantial prey inside.
The Spider Silk ball containing Herag seemed relatively small here; after dumping him, the spider turned away, likely intending to hunt again.
Before the spider departed, Herag noticed its abdomen appeared swollen, an abnormal sight.
"Is it preparing to lay eggs?" Herag realized why the spider stored food, intended for feeding the soon-to-hatch small spiders.
In a flash, Herag had become reserve food for the demon and began pondering a way to escape the crisis.
Before he could devise an exit strategy, a sharp pain seared through the base of his spine.
Gazing through environmental detection, Herag's heart sank.
A small hole at the base of his spine began dissolving the surrounding flesh and bone from the edge.
The spider's venom not only paralyzed, but it also dissolved the enemy's body, facilitating the small spiders' consumption.
