Chapter 27: The Underground Skeleton City

  A loud clang.

  Splashes of dazzling sparks. This was the first time Ye Han's heavy knife returned unscathed. It was as if he had cut into metal, and the giant spider mother's entire body seemed to be made of a thin layer of steel, with an astonishing defensive power.

  However, with this boost of energy, Ye Han suddenly pulled himself up and shot towards the opposite cliff face, grabbing onto a rock on the cliff wall.

  That giant spider queen was hit by Ye Han's attack, striking her head and indeed suffering a great deal. Her massive body stumbled, the golden spider web under her feet violently shaking as if it were about to collapse.

  It seems to have been thoroughly enraged, the giant spider queen let out an even sharper cry. In an instant, a large number of golden spiders the size of fists emerged from the darkness, surging towards Ye Han's direction like a tide.

  And the giant iron spider swung its two huge pale golden forelegs towards Ye Han's direction.

  "My god, this is going to be the death of me!"

  Seeing this situation in front of him, even Ye Han couldn't help but feel his scalp numb and his face turned white.

  Even if he was incredibly powerful, one person fighting alone would never be able to handle so many spiders.

  He took a deep bite, and another wave of spiritual pressure swept away the tide of spiders that were gradually closing in. Ye Han held his knife in one hand, stuck it into the gap between the rocks, and with the other hand, he climbed down along the steep cliff.

  With a loud "clang", it had just left its original position, and the front paws of the giant steel spider were fiercely inserted into the rock face opposite, the originally hard rock was like tofu in front of those paws emitting a faint metallic glow.

  Ye Han couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, knowing that if he was scratched by this claw, he would probably end up being split in two and falling into pieces.

  Thinking of this, he dared not stop and continued to climb down.

  The spider queen naturally couldn't let it go, and with a sharp cry, countless small spiders surged forward like a tide, closing in on Ye Han.

  I don't know how long I've been crawling downwards, using force to clear the way, with a tight pursuit of the last wave of fist-sized golden spiders. Ye Han suddenly discovered that the "sandy sound" behind him was gradually disappearing.

  He only then discovered that the huge iron spider was climbing on the opposite cliff, screaming at him. A pair of golden small eyes stared at him, but seemed to be afraid of something below and did not dare to take another step forward. The little spiders were also the same, swirling around, accumulating into a mountain, but did not dare to continue chasing.

  "What's going on here? Is there something down there that even this iron spider empress finds terrifying?"

  Ye Han felt a sense of doubt in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore. Being trapped here, unable to ascend to heaven or descend into the earth, it was better to make another desperate attempt.

  He gritted his teeth and continued climbing downwards...

  ……

  It was unclear how much time had passed, maybe two days or three days, anyway, with Ye Han's physical strength, he was almost unable to hold on when he reached the limit of his exhaustion, at that moment, he made contact with land.

  "Is it finally here?" Ye Han only felt that his muscles were sore all over, his eyelids kept wanting to droop, and he wanted to fall asleep thoroughly, but in his heart, there was always a thought telling himself not to sleep, absolutely not to sleep, otherwise, if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again.

  It's hard to imagine, a person along the rock wall, on the precipitous cliff, climbing down into the dark abyss. Every moment must be tense with spirit, can't have any slight mistake, what is the consequence of climbing for three days and three nights?

  It's still Ye Han, otherwise if it were someone else, even a powerful ninth-level warrior would not have been able to hold on for so long and would have fallen into the abyss, dead without a place to be buried.

  At this time, Ye Han's energy had also reached its limit, a state that was not only physical but also psychological, and had already become unbearable.

  Fortunately, he finally touched the ground.

  Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

  A loud thud.

  Ye Han's entire body was stiff and straight, heavily crashing onto the ground about five meters away from him, splashing up a cloud of dust. Even so, he still didn't wake up. He was really too tired, had reached his limit, and only wanted to sleep like this, dazed and confused, all the way until forever.

  It wasn't until a day and night later that he came to.

  His body still ached all over. This was simply unthinkable for Ye Han, who had been practicing the family's internal martial arts in the Bao Dan boundary. It could also be imagined that his physical loss over the past few days had been too great.

  Fortunately, everything is over now, and escaping from "Ascending to Heaven" is something worth celebrating.

  With her eyes closed, she took out some dry rations and drinking water from the space bag, filled her stomach, and then absorbed a remaining life crystal to replenish her body's losses.

  He felt that his physical strength had recovered, although it was not in the most perfect state, but he also had the ability to protect himself. He then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

  Then he saw it, a hundred meters away, a broken and dilapidated human skeleton with only two black eye sockets, as large as a washbasin.

  "This is... Titan?!"

  Ye Han's expression was taken aback, and he couldn't help but speak out. In the legend of the Northern Domain, although there were many ethnic groups, only one kind of creature could grow to such a large size and resemble human appearance, that is, the legendary Titan Giant.

  Only this ancient giant organism with infinite power that can move mountains and fill rivers could grow to such a massive size, resembling the human body.

  Then he slowly scanned the surroundings and moved to a position 100 meters away. It was a vast expanse of white bones, neatly arranged in a wide road. Various skeletons, some tall, some large, some ancient, or strange, were buried together.

  Surrounding are dilapidated buildings. This seems to be an ancient city of ruins buried deep underground?!
