Chapter 2284 — Where Did They Go? But the Silk Bridge Was Built, Yet the Entire Spider Clan Had Vanished.

"There are signs of a fight here!" Wei Zhao pointed at marks on the ground and said to Sun Jingyan, "Could it be that the spider clan met an enemy here, and something happened?"
"Here?" Sun Jingyan lowered her head and looked carefully where Wei Zhao pointed. Sure enough, she saw a chaotic jumble of footprints on the ground, along with some withered grass that had been scorched by fire. She said, "The Fire Lion clan? They came here?"
"Hard to say..." Wei Zhao rose and said, "Let's walk a little further and see. I don't know what exactly happened here—but if a fight did break out, then why is there not a single spirit beast corpse to be found..."
"True. This platform doesn't look large either, and apart from that cave not far off, there's no other way to go—it's all plain to see. If the fight happened here, then after the fighting, where did the spider clan go?" Sun Jingyan said, equally puzzled.
"Let's take a look inside the cave..." Wei Zhao raised his eyes to the cave and said, "If I guess rightly, that cave should be where the teleportation formation is. Let's go over and have a look first."
Sun Jingyan and Wei Zhao walked toward the cave together. Standing at the cave mouth, they could take in the whole interior at a glance. The cave was not large; its entirety was visible in one look. And inside the cave there was still not a single spirit beast—all was quiet.
In other words, neither the platform nor the cave held a single spirit beast.
"It seems something truly strange is going on here." Wei Zhao pondered a moment, then said, "So many spiders—even if they clashed with the Fire Lion clan, they couldn't all have vanished..."
"Could the Fire Lion clan have captured them and taken them back?" Sun Jingyan guessed.
"Unlikely, surely? Even if the Fire Lion clan has the advantage of an attack attribute, capturing so many spiders would be difficult." Wei Zhao shook his head, dismissing the idea. Three Fire Lions against the spiders' numbers—the odds were hardly equal.
That they might have killed a swath of these spiders, Wei Zhao could believe; but to capture them all and carry them off—that could hardly be easy. It was next to impossible.
"Be that as it may, let's go into the cave and take a look first," Wei Zhao said.
Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan entered the cave. Inside, there was nothing particularly unusual. The formation that had roused Wei Zhao's curiosity—he was not even sure of it himself, for he had seen only a strange symbol formed of a few shattered stones on the ground, and could not tell whether it was the teleportation formation the Heaven-Rank Spider had spoken of. As for how to activate it, Wei Zhao knew even less, and did not dare try at random.
Wei Zhao could only take out his phone and photograph the cave's interior for the time being, intending to study it carefully later when he had the chance.
"Is this the so-called teleportation formation?" Sun Jingyan asked curiously, pointing at the pile of stones on the ground that looked like a teleportation formation.
