Apotheosis

There was no room for Geoffrey to resist. Even if there were, he wasn't strong enough. After swaying around in the air for a while, he was thrown on the back of a spider.

Although his chest had been pierced, the wound was not fatal. He somersaulted and tried to break free from the spider. He almost succeeded too, but right before he could break free, the sharp teeth on the back of the spider expanded outwards and formed a cage that imprisoned him. He could move about very slightly now, but could not break free.

After Geoffrey was captured, most of the spiders scattered towards the back of the path.

However, the one that had captured him ran forwards with its long legs.

Geoffrey knew that he had to break free. After stopping the bleeding from the wound on his chest, he stretched out his hands and grabbed two of the spider's teeth, trying to break them apart.

However, as soon as the power burst out from his hands, the teeth suddenly turned red. And instantly, as if two pieces of red-hot soldering iron had scalded his hands, he quickly let go of them. It was as if he had grabbed a solid fire.

"Great! I can't leave now," Geoffrey sulked, rubbing his hands helplessly.

In the Abstruse Energy World, he had been rather lucky and had not encountered any danger.

Even while facing the most troublesome bronze statues, all he had to do was lure them down and let Ziya kill them.

This was the first time that he was facing these unknown creatures all by himself. He looked calm on the outside, but in fact, he was extremely flustered.

His only comfort was the fact that the spider had only trapped him and not swallowed him whole in a single gulp. Furthermore, the spider was heading towards the center of the Sky Wheel City, and its speed was ten times faster than his own.

Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!

To the naked eye, the Sky Wheel City did not seem so far away, but the path was actually quite long.

It took ten hours even for the spider to cover half the distance. After a full day and night's journey, the spider finally got close to the center of the city.

Geoffrey himself would have needed at least ten days to cover this path. The spider had indirectly helped him shorten the voyage, but he was not happy at all.

While nearing the city center, the spider proceeded towards a large, arched building and entered inside.

Inside, Geoffrey saw many spiders, all of whom were carrying all sorts of creatures on their backs, and slowly moving forward in a queue.

The spider in front of Geoffrey was carrying a huge bug on its back. The

he completed the three puzzles, the scene in the mirror disappeared, and it became blank.

Geoffrey was very nervous. The three questions had all been very simple, but he didn't know if he had passed the test. If the golden light flashed, he would directly turn into ashes.

It was not until the spider that was carrying him began to slowly move that he heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He had passed through one very big hurdle.

Although he was still trapped, escaping the jaws of death felt exhilarating.

'The spiders capture their prey and then select the intelligent ones among them. Those who don't pass the test are burnt to a crisp, and the intelligent ones are allowed to live, '

Geoffrey thought, feeling much more relieved.

If the spiders were selecting intelligent creatures so creatively, it meant that they themselves possessed intelligence. This meant that he could communicate with them. And no matter what they were going to do, as long as he could communicate with them, he didn't need to worry.

After the test, the spider carried Geoffrey out of the arched building, and descended a flight of stairs that led to a huge underground space. Now there were cages on either side of the space in which all sorts of strange creatures were trapped.

They had already passed the test presumably, so naturally possessed enough intelligence.

When Geoffrey was carried in, he attracted the attention of all of those creatures. Some of the monsters even greeted him through the fences by letting out strange screams of excitement.

Geoffrey didn't know what they were trying to say, so he simply ignored them. After the spider found an empty cage, it stuffed Geoffrey inside and the door was shut!
