Chapter 277 - Inciden (2/2)

But Mud to Stone was not a problem.

A small two-story rock building was built, and Roland purposely sealed the doors and windows, leaving only a few small ventilation holes.

Because the prairie was overly quiet and always had a strange atmosphere, Roland worried that some strange vermin or magical beasts might attack, so he sealed the doors and windows and thickened the walls of the house.

Then he took out small tables and chairs from his Backpack, as well as food and drinks, and cast a Light Ball.

Then he browsed the web while eating.

He didn’t look at the forums but watched a movie. It would be a bit annoying to read the forum every day, and it wasn’t a bad thing to enjoy entertainment and relax once in a while.

As he was watching, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.

This was abnormal.

Being in a natural environment, even if it was quiet, there would always be some noise.

It would either be the sound of biological activity or the sound produced by other natural phenomena.

If there really was a situation where there were no outside sounds whatsoever, then one’s own body would become an echo chamber.

The sound of the stomach moving to digest food, the sound of the blood flowing, the sound of the heart beating, and so on.

All of these sounds would be infinitely amplified in the silence, causing normal people to become neurotic and even begin to develop fear.

Roland was now level six and had high mental resistance.

He wasn’t afraid, but he started to feel uncomfortable and even quite depressed.

And instinctively, he sensed that something was wrong.

A very uncomfortable aura enveloped him.

Roland stood up.

There was no window in the room, so naturally, he couldn’t see the outside. In this situation, he didn’t want to “open” a window, in case something jumped in.

He threw down three magic spiders and ordered them to crawl to the outside through the ventilation holes.

Then several images came in through the mental channel.

Around the house, several giant spiders appeared.

At first, Roland thought it was a giant spider he had seen in Red Mountain Town, but then what the magic spiders transmitted back shocked him.

These spiders were all three meters tall, silver-white, and most importantly, they all had a huge human face on their backs.

Initially, Roland thought that this was a pattern on the spider’s back, but then the images sent back from the magic spiders showed that these faces were smiling and laughing weirdly.

These spiders were weaving coc.o.o.ns, and together, they had already built an empty, tall, egg-shaped coc.o.o.n around the house, and now they were just missing the opening at the head of the house. The strangest thing was that when they moved, there was no sound at all, and even the sounds from outside seemed to have been eliminated.

Were they capturing him?

Roland looked at his mana value; it had recovered to around 51%, thanks to the specialty of Roland’s Zeal. His mana value was still recovering quite quickly.

It was expected that by the time these human-faced spiders had woven the coc.o.o.n, Roland would have more than enough magic power to use Long-Distance Teleportation.

Roland had thought that these spiders would seal themselves in with their prey, after all, it was like a means of rounding up prey.

However, unexpectedly, these spiders crawled out from the opening on top of their heads and finally sealed that as well.

They seemed to have trapped Roland inside.

Hmm… is this like storing food?

Roland’s interest was piqued.
