Xiao Ming's heart pounded like a war drum in his chest as he stepped cautiously onto the trembling threads of the Shadow Spider's web.
Each thread quivered under his weight, as if alive and waiting to ensnare him.
His Heavenly Flame Sword gleamed faintly in the dim light, its blade infused with a swirling mix of dao qi and soul energy.
The weapon felt like an extension of his will, humming softly as it resonated with his spiritual essence. His movements were deliberate, each step calculated to avoid triggering another deadly trap hidden within the labyrinthine web.
Yet, the monstrous Shadow Spider seemed unwilling to grant him even a moment of respite.
The web shimmered ominously in the faint light, its threads vibrating with an eerie precision that sent chills down Xiao Ming's spine.
