The right timing didn't come, yet the date of the spider's egg-laying was getting closer.

During this period, the spider would occasionally make an appearance, crawling around in the void.

Each time it appeared, Herag would suppress all his aura and hold his breath to ensure he wouldn't be detected by the spider.

Fortunately, the smell of the mucus on his body was strong, which masked most of his aura.

The spider hadn't come to check during these eight days, seemingly sensing no disturbance.

Herag would carefully observe changes on the spider each time, the swelling in its abdomen becoming more obvious, feeling as if it might lay eggs at any moment.

Herag was ready to take a risk; continuing to wait was certainly a dead end.

He planned to escape tonight when the timing was right.

From his observations, the spider rarely came out at night; it usually wandered around during the day.

Herag believed it was due to the egg-laying period causing the spider, despite its strength, to avoid openly wandering in the pollution district at night.

Therefore, nighttime was the ideal escape opportunity.

Herag took a deep breath to adjust his state, his mind flashing through rehearsed moves countless times.

Slowly, nightfall descended, with the cold wind blowing across the canyon, stirring up a series of whistling sounds.

Inside the canyon, it was quiet, even the small spiders crawling around had found somewhere to nest.

Herag sat up gently within the spider silk sphere, his mind flashing through rehearsed moves once more.

Immediately, Magic Power gathered on Herag, and a flash instantly appeared beside the reserve food pile.

Then, Herag directly charged into the pile of reserve food.

He was now in the Titan Power form, charging into this pile of spider silk spheres with no difficulty.

In an instant, countless mucous and demon remnants clung to him, making him look as if drenched in egg liquid.

Just then, a sharp howl echoed from behind.

The gigantic spider reappeared in the void, angrily howling at this side with shrill, ear-piercing cries, spreading all around.

It had detected the anomaly here, and as soon as it came out, it locked its gaze on Herag, discovering this intruder.

The spider didn't know where Herag came from, to its perspective, Herag was someone trying to seize its food.

All this food was prepared for its babies, how could it let someone steal it, hence it was extremely angry at once.

Herag didn't even glance back, executing the plan without panic.

After breaking into the reserve food pile, Herag kept moving straight inside, reaching the small hole, and jumped in directly.

Previously, Herag had observed that the passage below the hole was vertical, with a height of seventeen meters.

This height wouldn't injure him upon jumping down, let alone having the Feather of Flight, and also the Feather Fall Technique.

At the moment Herag jumped down, the gigantic spider had already descended, its massive body covering everything from above.

However, it was one step too late, Herag had already jumped through the hole.

Despite jumping down, Herag didn't even use the Feather Fall Technique or similar aids, falling straight downward.

What he wanted was speed, getting as far away from the hole quickly was the most important.

Herag fell vertically seventeen meters and landed steadily on the ground.

Meanwhile, the gigantic spider had already targeted this spot with countless eyes, opened its mouth, and began to howl, sounds forming piercing soundwaves reaching from the hole.

If it were someone with average constitution, they might have been stunned by this soundwave.

But for Herag, it had little impact, even the Incinerator's roar couldn't stun him, let alone this spider's howl being somewhat weaker.

Upon landing on the ground, Herag discovered the passage ahead remained very low and narrow, running swiftly along the passage.

Just as he departed, a thick spider silk shot at the original spot, creating a huge pit.

Herag felt that if he hadn't run fast, even with Titan Power's protection, he might be shot through.

He quickly accelerated, running forward, since the hole was too low, he had to hunch while running, slowing him.

If he released the state of Titan Power, running would be a lot more suitable.

But within the underground passage, who knows what might happen, Titan Power certainly couldn't be deactivated.

Herag ran a short distance ahead, the spider's howl behind him growing fainter.

However, the passage began to tremble, dropping plenty of dust.

Herag knew the spider was making some noise on the ground, attempting to bury him underground.

But this passage seemed to have some age, its structure very stable, apart from dust falling, there were no signs of collapse.

This place was already quite far from the surface, the spider's impact on the ground was very limited, even a great Power reaching here was insignificant.

Above ground, the gigantic spider watching the hole could only feel anxious, its body too large to squeeze through, hammering the ground angrily.

For a time, the banging sounds persisted, spreading to all corners.

Herag could still witness this scene through Shenlan's environment sensing, thinking: "Lady Spider, don't get angry, be careful not to harm the fetus."

Now that the spider posed no threat, Herag began focusing on the passage ahead.

The passage's situation was very peculiar, bearing obvious excavation marks.

Through these excavation marks, Herag discerned they were tool marks left by humans.

The excavation location and passage structure indicated that this passage was thoroughly investigated and researched when dug, excavated at stable locations unlikely to collapse easily.

"Who dug it?" Herag wondered.

He speculated the passage was likely excavated by people from the Era of Radiance, not by those from the current era.

The passage was already underground in the pollution zone, who would randomly come to such a place to dig a passage?

Herag followed the passage, noticing it gradually extended downward.

This wasn't a good omen, Herag wanted to reach the surface, but the passage kept descending.

With no other branches available, going upward would mean confronting the spider, Herag had no choice but to continue downward.

Since it was excavated by humans, it must have an exit, Herag decided to continue following the passage for now, seeing to where it might lead.
