A gentle breeze blew, causing the hanging cocoons to sway slightly.
They looked like white lanterns hanging aloft.
The members of Squad 8 frowned, their faces becoming more and more serious.
This didn't seem like a mere ambush.
"Check it out!" Fisher commanded.
The thief sprinted forward, leaped into the air, and with a swift movement of his dagger, severed the white threads connecting the cocoon.
With a thump, the cocoon fell from mid-air.
The thief crouched down, cutting a slit in the cocoon with his dagger, then tore a hole at one end.
A purple-faced beastman corpse was revealed from within.
The faces of everyone present became increasingly grim.
Were all these cocoons filled with corpses?
In that case, the prospects of their rescue mission were looking grim.
Thump, thump, thump…!
Suddenly, the sound of frantic running approached from the front.
The ranger's face changed, and he warned, "It's a spider, a huge spider is nearing us."
