"Everyone, be careful!" Shen Jingqi said quietly, his voice tinged with a hint of tension. He gripped the weapon in his hand tightly, crouching slightly, ready for battle.
Xu An and Lin Yu immediately became alert, standing back-to-back, their eyes fixed on the direction the sound was coming from. Their heartbeats accelerated dramatically, and their breathing became rapid, as if they could hear their own heartbeats.
As the sound approached, a huge shadow slowly emerged from the darkness. The shadow was several meters high and oddly shaped, resembling a gigantic spider but with many tentacles. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, as if it could see through their souls.
"What is that?" Lin Yu asked fearfully, his voice trembling.
Shen Jingqi frowned, contemplating a strategy. "I don't know, but it seems hard to deal with. Everyone stay calm first, let's see what it wants to do." he said, knowing that despite the terror filling his heart, he must remain composed at this moment.
