Chapter 271 Bondage

"Deng deng deng-"

The sound of footsteps came again, this time clearer and louder.

As the sound drew closer, Lin Xiyue's heart leaped into her throat. She stared wide-eyed, anxiously awaiting the unknown monster to reveal its true form.

Finally, when the last step was taken, the entire monster was revealed to Lin Xiyue.

Upon closer inspection, the monster had a total of eight legs, just like those of an arthropod.

What's even stranger is that the high heels on each foot are not only different in style and color, but also in size.

Judging from their appearance, these shoes clearly do not belong to the same person; they seem to be spoils obtained by this monster through theft or other means.

Looking further up, the monster's upper body does resemble the outline of a human female.

However, what is truly horrifying is that it has three enormous breasts that hang haphazardly in front of it, swaying slightly with its movements, creating an extremely discordant and disgusting visual impact.

The most eye-catching feature is the mask it wears on its head.

The mask was made of rough and worn material, with a pattern that looked like a smiley face outlined on it by crooked lines, and only two holes revealed its compound eyes, which resembled those of a fly.

However, due to the clumsy drawing technique, the so-called smiling face not only lacked any sense of joy, but also revealed an indescribable eeriness and gloom, as if hiding endless evil secrets.

Slowly, the monster cautiously approached them.

It seemed completely unaware that Lin Xiyue and the others had already noticed its presence, so it crept stealthily and tiptoed onto the ceiling.

Every so often, the monster would move its eight slender and flexible legs at an astonishing speed, quickly crawling forward a distance. Then it would stop, quietly observe its surroundings for a moment, and repeat the same action.

This cycle repeated itself, and before long, it had silently reached the top of everyone's heads.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

With a slight sound, the monster first turned its gaze to Meros.

Perhaps feeling that the person in front of him didn't look very attractive, or perhaps he wasn't interested in him at all, the monster only glanced at him briefly before quickly looking away.

Then it turned its attention to Hehelo and, like a fly cleaning its feet, rubbed its two forelegs together a few times, as if trying to sense the aura emanating from Hehelo.

However, after some probing, the monster did not receive any interesting feedback from He Hailuo, so it became somewhat disinterested and quickly lost interest in continuing to pay attention, turning its gaze to Lin Xiyue beside it.

"Sizzle!!"

The moment it met Lin Xiyue's gaze, a hint of barely concealed excitement flashed in the monster's normally calm eyes, and even its two constantly groping front paws unconsciously increased the frequency and amplitude of their swinging.

Clearly, this mysterious monster was attracted to Lin Xiyue, and could even be said to have developed a strong interest in her.

"Tsk."

Meros clearly saw through the monster's plan and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he pulled out a small nest from his inner space and threw it at the monster.

The tiny nest rapidly unfurled all its tentacles in mid-air, these tentacles densely packed and crisscrossing, instantly forming a giant net-like structure.

Using the powerful force of being thrown by Meros, the lair pounced on the monster with the force of a thunderbolt, like a ferocious beast.

Just as the two were about to make contact, the lair struck first, its flexible and powerful tentacles extending swiftly like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they tightly wrapped around the monster's main body.

Not only that, even the monster's eight arthropod-like long legs were not spared; each leg was individually and firmly bound, completely depriving it of its freedom of movement.

A loud "thud" resounded, deafening and sending a shiver down one's spine.

It turned out that after the monster was tightly bound by the nest, it lost its balance and fell straight down from the high ceiling like a heavy boulder, colliding violently with the ground.

The sound of the impact was extremely painful, as if one could personally feel the shock and fear brought by the impact. Just hearing the sound sent shivers down one's spine.

However, the monster did not give up.

"Hiss hiss hiss—Sizzle!!!"

After it crashed heavily off the ceiling, it immediately opened its hideous and terrifying mouth and let out a series of extremely piercing roars.

The roar was filled with anger and resentment, accompanied by its constant, frantic struggle.

It struggled desperately, trying to break free of the tentacles binding it, but the nest's strength was clearly beyond its imagination. No matter how hard it tried, it could not escape the incredibly strong confinement.

At this moment, the monster looked ferocious, as if determined to tear apart and destroy whatever was binding it.

Lin Xiyue naturally noticed this scene as well. The monster's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, staring intently at her, making no attempt to hide its greed and desire.

She could clearly feel the lustful look in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"Wow, this guy looks really fierce! ヽ(；′Д｀)?"

A chill ran down her spine, and she blurted out those words.

Fortunately, Meros was by her side, which gave her some courage.

So she thought for a moment, then cautiously moved closer, wanting to take a closer look.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that although the monster appeared extremely fierce, it actually seemed rather foolish.

It was tightly bound to the ground, unable to move, and could only futilely twist its body.

Lin Xiyue's eyes darted around, and she suddenly thought of something. She reached into her bag, took out a pen, and then gently lifted the eerie hood covering the monster's head.

Since the monster had lost its ability to resist, the seemingly mysterious and terrifying hood was easily knocked off by Lin Xiyue with a pen.

At this moment, the monster's true form was finally revealed to the three of them without reservation...
