The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 288 Fight another day

In a bustling city, an abandoned high-rise building becomes the stage for Zhang Liang to fight against a mysterious creature. When the giant spider approaches, Zhang Liang is relieved to see that it is him and not someone else, which makes the spider unhappy.

"Why do you feel relieved when you see it's me?" the giant spider stared at Zhang Liang and questioned.

"After all, we have fought each other and I know your background. If it were someone else, I would not know their methods and there would definitely be trouble," Zhang Liang explained.

"Hmph, let me tell you, I am no longer the same person I was a few days ago." The spider stared at Zhang Liang, as if he didn't understand it now.

"Oh, really? Then you have to let me see your changes." Zhang Liang responded calmly, thinking that the spider was joking.

"I'll leave the secret for you to reveal yourself. My little brothers have also become stronger." The giant spider said, glancing at the group of small spiders behind him.

"Really? I'm not afraid. Come on." Zhang Liang said confidently.

"Be careful not to bite your tongue when you brag." The giant spider looked at the proud Zhang Liang and thought that he should make him suffer a little this time to prevent him from becoming too conceited.

Zhang Liang tightly grasped the special whip in his hand and prepared for battle. The giant spider slowly retreated, creating a battlefield for Zhang Liang and the little spider.

The last battle made Zhang Liang realize that he had no advantage in this desolate place, so he jumped off the tall building and planned to fight the little spider on the ground.

This time, the little spiders did not swarm over him, but surrounded Zhang Liang, forming a circle and trapping him in the center.

Observing the spiders closely, Zhang Liang found that they were bigger than before. However, the change was not easy to detect against the giant spider. By the time he realized the spiders' strategy, it was too late to retreat.

Spiders obviously know more about tactics than before. The giant spider just mentioned their changes. In addition to their size, there must be other differences. Zhang Liang must respond with caution.

This unexpected reunion was a blessing or a curse. If the spider hadn't changed, it might have been a good thing for him. But now, the spider knew him, and he knew nothing about the spider.

Zhang Liang decided to fight head-on and stay the same in the face of change. The spiders surrounded Zhang Liang and stopped not far away. They sprayed silk threads at Zhang Liang's arms and ankles, intending to restrain him and limit his "nine-tailed whip".

In the darkness, spider silk appeared transparent, and Zhang Liang could not see their trajectory clearly. He could only swing the whip as hard as he could to prevent himself from getting entangled in the silk.

However, this blind defense easily gave the spider an opportunity. Zhang Liang suddenly felt his ankle being pulled, apparently entangled by the silk thread.

He quickly swung the "nine-tailed whip" to try to cut the silk thread. But in his attempt, he found that once the spider stopped pulling, the silk thread seemed to disappear.

While trying to cut the silk threads, Zhang Liang found that they were as tough as springs and could not be cut easily. One foot was tied, but he still waved the whip because the foot was tightly entangled by the silk threads.

Zhang Liang made his bound feet as firm as roots. No matter how the silk thread pulled, he did not move. This way, he had one less part to protect. After a long confrontation, the little spider was finally defeated.

They dispersed and gradually moved away from Zhang Liang, leaving him a clear space. At this time, the giant spider reappeared and said, "Forget it, we will fight another day. Let's retreat first."

"Wait..." Before Zhang Liang could finish his words, the spider had already left. As the sky gradually brightened, the spider disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Liang was puzzled by the spider's sudden retreat, and looked down to see the black silk thread wrapped around his feet. After careful observation, he found that it was spit out by the little spider last night. It turned out that the silk thread was not transparent, but black.

Last night's misunderstanding was due to the fact that he could not see clearly in the dark, and he mistakenly thought that the silk thread was transparent. Zhang Liang checked the silk thread wrapped around his feet and found that it had loosened at some point. He squatted down to check and found that it was the sweat that soaked his body and softened the silk thread.

With this discovery, Zhang Liang decided to test whether spider silk is really afraid of water. Sure enough, water can dissolve the silk thread. He picked up another silk thread and found that it was very elastic and difficult to tear. When he touched it lightly, the presence of the silk thread was almost zero.

Looking at the spider silk all over the ground, Zhang Liang collected some of it. This unusual silk thread might be useful in the future. He thought the only change in the spider was that it learned to spin silk, but its attack method remained the same.

These spiders may be unable to take other actions for some reason. If not, when they find that the silk thread cannot hurt Zhang Liang, they will switch to other attack methods. From this point of view, it is not difficult to deal with these spiders. I just don't understand why they left at dawn.

Zhang Liang was used to walking among the dead trees. It was quiet during the day, and only at night could he hear the sounds of life. He walked aimlessly, waiting for the night to fall, because only at night could he encounter other creatures and perhaps get some information from them.

He had been walking for a long time, but found that he seemed to have never left this area. The surrounding environment remained unchanged, with only the dead trees and scattered fallen leaves floating around.

The needles and red leaves on the trees never appeared again, and the scene on that day seemed like a dream. ...
