Herag also noticed that the venom dissolving his body was not limited to the tailbone area but had already spread throughout his body.

At this moment, intense pain was radiating from every part of his body, as bones, muscles, and internal organs began to slowly dissolve, causing him pain so acute that he almost passed out.

Herag maintained his consciousness with extraordinary willpower, knowing that he must not lose consciousness, for if he did, it would be over.

If he fainted in this situation, he would end up as a pile of flesh, eventually consumed by a swarm of small spiders and turned into excrement.

At this moment, Herag noticed that red dots of light began to appear all over his body.

He initially thought it was the spider venom taking effect, but then he realized that after these red dots appeared, the pain throughout his body was significantly alleviated.

Before long, apart from the intense pain in the tailbone area, there was only a slight pain elsewhere.

Immediately afterward, a familiar phantom of a grassman appeared before him.

The grassman phantom appeared briefly before shattering into pieces and disappearing.

"Substitute Death Grassman!"

Herag then understood that the Substitute Death Grassman had sensed his impending death and triggered its effect, blocking this threat of death.

Herag immediately checked his body, and the spider venom was completely gone.

Although there was still some pain throughout his body, there was no further dissolution.

At this moment, Herag's strong constitution began to take effect, and his injuries started healing rapidly.

Herag raised his hand, and the space ring was still there, which was his greatest fortune.

He immediately took out a magic potion from it and consumed it, and his internal injuries quickly healed again.

The injury to the tailbone area would take some time to heal, but with the help of the magic potion, it wouldn't take long before it no longer affected Herag's actions.

Herag didn't rush to break through the spider web to escape but instead waited patiently for his injuries to recover.

Now was also not the time to flee, because the giant spider still lurked ahead in the void.

This place was only about a thousand meters away from there; Herag didn't believe the spider wouldn't be aware of any commotion here.

After all, this was its food reserve area, and any disturbance would surely be noticed.

Running away now would be tantamount to courting death.

There was only one Substitute Death Grassman; Herag didn't have a second one to take another hit for him.

Herag was contemplating whether to activate the plane coordinates and teleport away, but after thinking for a moment, he decided not to teleport yet.

Because the teleportation using the plane coordinates wouldn't last long, and he would return to the same place.

If he were on the Abyss Plane, Herag was confident he could punch this spider to death.

But back on the Wizard Plane, he was still just an ordinary Level 1 Wizard.

During the short time on the Abyss Plane, it was hard for Herag's strength to significantly improve, and when he returned, he would still be just waiting for death.

Now, taking advantage of the fact that the spider hadn't noticed he was still alive, he could seize the time to think of other solutions.

What had just happened was what Herag had always worried about.

Suddenly encountering an enemy far stronger than himself in an attack, with no time even to activate the plane coordinates.

If the spider wasn't reserving him as food, he would have been killed instantly.

"Still too weak..." Herag increasingly perceived the importance of strength.

While recovering from his injuries, he kept an eye on the surroundings.

It was very quiet in this canyon, except for some small spiders crawling around, there were no other demons.

There was no movement in the piles of spider silk balls stacked high like little mountains.

Upon a closer inspection, Herag found that the spider silk balls contained dead demons.

Some demon bodies remained relatively intact, suggesting they had been caught not long ago.

Some spider silk balls had turned into a muddy soup, completely unrecognizable.

Herag even saw a human skull in one of the spider silk balls, not knowing which faction's wizard had perished here.

This skull emitted an unusual glow, not having been dissolved or corrupted.

Herag speculated that this person must have been a very powerful wizard in life, and the skull seemed to have been refined with some kind of magic, turning into a demonized item-like existence.

Herag didn't know the name of the spider, making it impossible to determine its species and thus its strength.

If it were those Pioneers, they would certainly know, as they were quite familiar with the demons in the contaminated area.

Herag regretted not having understood the contaminated area for long beforehand, leading him to be clueless upon entering, relying solely on luck all the way.

As he couldn't act recklessly now, Herag simply began his meditation practice.

All he could do now was wait, wait for the right opportunity to arise.

Reflecting on the sights he had just observed, Herag noticed that the spider's egg-laying time seemed imminent, with its abdominal movements being highly noticeable.

He had to find a way to leave before the spider laid its eggs.

If he waited for the spider to lay eggs, there would be no opportunity, as the spider would surely stay here guarding the eggs until they hatched.

Once the spider eggs hatched, the little spiders would start enjoying them as food.

At that time, under the gaze of that giant spider, Herag doubted he would have any chance of escaping.

...

Eight days later.

Herag spent these eight days staying inside the narrow spider silk ball without causing any commotion. The smell in there was unpleasant.

The spider's secretion bore a strong fishy odor, and the air was incredibly stale.

Herag made a tiny hole in the spider web to prevent himself from suffocating inside.

During this time, apart from his meditation practice, he slowly recovered from his injuries.

Now, his body's wounds had completely healed, and he could move without any hindrance.

But the problem was he still hadn't found the right moment to escape.

This area seemed to be the spider's territory, as no other demons had approached these days.

Demons had a keen sense of danger and wouldn't intrude into a powerful demon's territory without cause.

Herag suspected that the prey in this canyon were spiders' quarry from hunting expeditions, with few walking in voluntarily like him.

Through careful observation over this period, Herag discovered a potential escape route.

The path lay beneath the piled spider silk balls, a rather small hole with a passage leading downward, destination unknown.

However, this opening was located under the food reserves, requiring those to be cleared to enter.

This meant too much noise would be made, drawing attention for sure.

Moreover, it was unknown what lay ahead, which might lead to even more dangerous places.

With the aid of Shenlan Inference, Herag simulated this countless times in his mind, concluding he needed 2.75 seconds.

He would need at least 2.75 seconds to dive into this hole and escape downward.
