Lucius and Lily sprinted in the direction where the faint sounds of wind emanated, relying on the feeble glow of the small crystals to illuminate the otherwise pitch-black abyss of the gorge.
The menacing figure of the spider queen, leaping and maneuvering to close the gap between them, sent shivers down their spines. They were determined to maintain a distance from the formidable creature and not let it catch up.

Lucius replied in a hushed tone, "I'm not sure. That thing is incredibly strong. I managed to injure its leg slightly, but it's still pursuing us."
His gaze fixed ahead, he noticed a distinctive V-shaped section illuminated by the crystal's soft light. One path veered upwards at a gradual incline, and he made a quick decision, hoping that luck would not lead them to a dead end.
