"Yes, that definitely sounds like something my father will do. Tsk... Now, how am I going to restore this thing? I can't just get rid of these few pages, right? And it's totally impossible to separate these few pages without damaging the content, right?" Ben asked, rather troubled.
"Mhmm... Let's just rewrite the whole thing I guess. Apparently, the data recorded here is a bit outdated. To be honest, Shiya and I had found out something else about that giant spider after he recorded the whole thing and it seems like he did not update it yet. So... Can you get me some paper and my ink pen?" said Chris who seems to be pumped up all of the sudden.
"You want to rewrite the whole thing? I mean, it's like almost twenty pages packed with text and diagrams." said Ben, a bit surprised.
"Mmm... After all, I did that research together with Shiya, so... It shouldn't be that hard... I guess." said Chris with a shrug...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Sky and the others are slowly approaching the giant spider web in full cautious while observing if there is any weird movement on the web.
"Ah... Damn it... I feel like we are in some sort of horror movie." Maria whispered.
"Maria, those words don't sound like anything a horror influencer like you should be saying." said Sky slightly dissing.
"Darling! Stop being mean to me! You are not Chris-chan!" said Maria as he pouted.
"Haha... Anyway, let's get even nearer to it. The easiest way to break a trap is to activate it. I am actually quite curious about it, especially when we can't even spot where the spider is." said Sky, who sounds rather excited.
"Ah... I am not curious at all." Maria murmured.
With this, they accelerated their steps toward that huge spider web and stopped at about two meters away from it.
"So... What are we going to do now? There isn't any sign of the spiders, should we just get rid of the whole thing right away?" Maria asked.
"No, Maria, I don't think it's a good idea. It's too risky to do so, the spiders might be lurking somewhere nearby waiting for us to make a move." said Junior.
"Mmm... I agree with Junior about that. Even if we are trying to trigger the spider, it shouldn't be this ruthless." said Sky.
"Oh... Okay... Hmm? Uhm... Is it just my eyes or the two adult corpses were moving just now?" Maria asked, all of the sudden.
"Huh?... Ah... No, Maria, your eyes are just fine." said Sky, in a slightly fed-up tone...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret base, lounge.
Chris had done rewriting the damaged pages for Shiya's old record book, Ben is currently doing a brief checking while adding some illustrations to it.
"Hmm... The main diet for this creature are human bone and bone marrow, but they would occasionally feed on internal organ if lack of food source... I guess this is the updated information you were talking about huh? The previous version stated that it feeds on human flesh." said Ben as he read through the written content.
Chris nodded without saying anything.
"This creature has a high level of intelligence, it will usually use the flesh and skin left by its prey as camouflage to lure even more prey to its nest... Damn, that's brutal and disgusting." said Ben, a bit disgusted by the written content...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine cave.
Sky, Maria, and Junior are slowly retracting their steps as the two adult rotten corpses slowly approach them by crawling with a rather twisted posture, two extra pairs of torsos had pierced out from their belly
"Ah... So that's where they had been hiding." said Junior, a bit astonished yet amazed.
"Unexpected and disgusting, or rather, unexpectedly disgusting." said Sky as he frowned.
"Can't we just blast them away with a magic burst or put them on fire? They are giving me goosebumps." said Maria, slightly shivering.
"Well, magic burst could be a good solution if we weren't inside of a cave, we certainly don't want to take the risk of collapsing the cave for using magic burst on these two creatures. But the second option sounds great... As long as you are able to set a fire on the water without getting extinguished." said Sky, with a shrug.
"Ah... I get it." said Maria as fire slowly covered his arms.
In less than three seconds, Maria put up a fire tornado around the two crawling creatures. Not long after Maria trapped the two creatures into his fire tornado, they were greeted by an awful rotten smell which later turned into a nice smell of barbecue meat.
"Uh-huh... The heck?" said Sky, totally confused.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Due to the special diet, the spiders... Uh... Actually tasted great after some cleaning and extracting out its poison, tasted better than chicken... Uh... I seriously don't want to know how did you find out about the taste, but I am removing this for the record... And Jason, don't you ever think to use this in your cooking." said Ben as he covered the mentioned sentences with white paint.
Jason who was peeping at them looks rather disappointed.
"Despite being a fearsome creature, this spider has a lethal weakness, which is heat. It can die within thirty seconds in an environment with a temperature that is higher than sixty degrees Celsius. Thus, they like to stay in dim and humid areas... Hmm... This is another new piece of information huh? Did you actually try this before? I remembered in the previous record, its weakness hasn't been found yet." said Ben, rather curious.
With a smirk, Chris pointed at the covered sentence and give Ben a thumbs up.
"Ah... I had asked a really stupid question." said Ben...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
