The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Hearing this, Prince Xiu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then led Kadia away from the maze. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, Sword Saint, there are many mazes here, be careful..."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Ugh..."

Kiana watched Prince Xiu's departing figure and sighed softly.

"I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He actually puts his hopes on an outsider like me."

Kiana shook her head, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Although she had the upper hand in the battle just now, that earth dragon was also quite strong. If it weren't for her own strength, they would probably be in danger this time.

"I feel a bit annoyed for some reason. Ugh! I'll make him repay this favor next time I get the chance, otherwise I'll always feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick."

After saying this, Kiana continued to explore the labyrinth, moving forward.

She walked through the maze for about half an hour, but never saw any forks in the road. It was as if she was walking straight ahead. And perhaps because of the earth dragon attack earlier, the fog in the maze became thicker and thicker. Halfway through, she could no longer see anything ahead, and all she could see was darkness.

Although the area appeared pitch black, Kiana felt no fear in the darkness. Instead, she remained cautiously vigilant, watching her surroundings to prevent any small monsters from suddenly appearing.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a furious roar came from ahead.

Upon hearing the roar, Kiana immediately looked up and saw a giant monster roaring in the black mist ahead.

This is a gigantic monster that is nearly ten meters long.

It was entirely black, covered in scales, and tall and muscular, with a fierce and menacing appearance.

"Another earth dragon? Has this maze been completely taken over by earth dragons?"

"roar!!!"

The earth dragon roared again.

"Roar!"

This time, the earth dragon's roar was even louder.

With his roar, a violent aura erupted from the earth dragon, soaring straight into the sky.

In that instant, the earth dragon burst forth with a dazzling blue light, banishing the surrounding darkness.

"Hiss... that blue light is so blinding."

Upon seeing the dazzling blue light, Kiana couldn't help but reach out to shield her eyes.

Within the range of this blue light, she felt her speed gradually slowing down.

Kiana couldn't help but marvel at the speed; it was incredibly fast. Moreover, under the blue light, Kiana could faintly feel her fighting spirit rapidly recovering.

This is an extremely strange situation.

"Roar!!!"

Amidst a series of shouts, the earth dragon pounced on Kiana.

Seeing this, Kiana immediately became alert, formed hand seals, and simultaneously pushed off with her legs, instantly lifting herself into the air.

"Bang!!!"

Kiana stepped onto a protruding rock, and using that force, she shot towards the earth dragon like a cannonball.

At this moment, Kiana finally saw the true appearance of the earth dragon.

This earth dragon was not only more than ten meters long, but its entire body was also covered with hard scales and barbed teeth.

These teeth were exceptionally sharp, gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the sunlight.

"Phew...this guy's really tough, he even has one more trick up his sleeve!!!"

Kiana frowned slightly upon seeing the magic skills unleashed by the earth dragon.

"Roar!!!"

The earth dragon roared and then spewed out a thick column of blue energy.

The moment the energy pillar was unleashed, it condensed into a giant python, its jaws wide open, lunging at Kiana. Its ferocious appearance made Kiana dare not be careless, and she quickly used the power of the gem to create a flaming blade.

"Ding!!!"

With a crisp clang of metal clashing, Kiana's weapon collided with the energy spewed by the earth dragon, the force of which instantly sent the dragon staggering backward.

However, the aftershocks of the collision between the two forces are no small matter.

Kiana's body traced a graceful arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater.

"Boom!"

When Kiana fell to the ground, the earth trembled violently, and dust flew everywhere.

"boom!!!"

Kiana stood up, dusted herself off, and her expression gradually turned serious.

"Hmph! Luckily, you didn't hurt me."

Kiana glared at the earth dragon with a fierce look in her eyes.

The earth dragon grinned disdainfully, revealing two rows of white teeth that looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. Then, it suddenly opened its mouth and roared at Kiana, its voice like a thunderclap that soared to the heavens.

"Buzz!!"

The moment the sound faded, Kiana felt a tremendous shock to her mind, and it seemed the attack wasn't solely directed at her...

"Fizz!"

Suddenly, the hissing of insects from the dark tunnel echoed throughout the entire maze.

Puzzled, Kiana looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to find many of the spider phantoms that she had previously dealt with.

At this moment, they swarmed in like a pack of wolves hunting their prey, their target still the formidable earth dragon.

"Awoooooo!!!"

Upon discovering the swarm of spider phantoms approaching, the earth dragon let out a furious roar.

However, the moves that are incredibly effective against ordinary monsters are practically useless against these spider phantoms.

Many spider phantoms pierced directly through the blue orb of light spewed out by the earth dragon and pounced towards it.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

Moreover, these spider phantoms consciously avoided Kiana's position.

"Huh? They're incredibly agile! What the hell are these damn creatures?"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise.

This discovery surprised Kiana, and she dared not approach the earth dragon easily, fearing that if she were to be entangled by these spiders, her body would be torn to pieces.

"Hiss hiss~"

At this moment, the spider phantoms were very close to the earth dragon, and they all placed their claws on the earth dragon's body.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

However, the earth dragon kept struggling, trying to break free from the shackles of these spider phantoms.

"Shuashuashua~~!"

However, there were simply too many of these spider phantoms, and even with the earth dragon's astonishing strength, it couldn't shake them off at all.

"Bang!!!"

"Bang!!!"

With a final, muffled thud, the earth dragon was finally caught by several spider phantoms who grabbed its tail and bit down hard.

In an instant, the earth dragon let out a shrill scream.

"Pfft!!!"

"Snap!!!"

Immediately afterwards, bright red blood flowed from the earth dragon's mouth, quickly staining the ground red, and patches of bright red skin also flowed into the ground along with the blood.

The earth dragon writhed in agony, howling and flailing its arms in an attempt to shake off the wretched creatures. But the spider phantoms held fast to the earth dragon's tail, biting down hard, and no matter how much the earth dragon struggled, it showed no sign of letting go.

Upon seeing this, Kiana's lips twitched slightly.

"I never expected these spiders to come to my aid? Should I say the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Or are they just so clever that they'd take advantage of the chaos?"

After being attacked repeatedly, the giant earth dragon became even more enraged and launched a sudden counterattack.

Unfortunately, Kiana wouldn't let such a great opportunity slip by.

"watch out!"

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, and Kiana decided to join the battle almost instantly.

As the flames burned away, the earth dragon, which had just been planning to fight back, was burned by the scorching flames and rolled all over the ground.

However, this did not help.

"Phew, problem solved again..."

After the battle, Kiana turned her gaze to the spider phantoms.

"Thank you. You don't seem like bad people. Can you tell me who your leader is?"

After thinking it over, Kiana decided that she could talk to them.

However...

"Huh? Someone's actually talking to them, hahaha! Looks like an interesting person."

The sudden, pleasant female voice snapped Kiana back to reality, and she looked behind her at the person...

A monster that's half-human and half-spider?

Your name is Spider...? (So what if I was reincarnated as a spider?) : Chapter 8: The battle begins three minutes after we meet.

Honestly, Kiana has seen plenty of cyborg assassins that look like spiders.
