Chapter 304

As Layla cautiously resumed her journey towards the spot where Jude had concealed himself, the colossal spider continued its stealthy pursuit, its predatory instincts attuned to Layla's every movement. Unseen and unnoticed, the spider mirrored Layla's progress from above, its eight legs poised for swift action.

With each step Layla took, the spider adjusted its position, maintaining a calculated distance as it shadowed her through the labyrinthine terrain. The forest seemed to hold its breath, the air thick with anticipation as the enigmatic predator closed in on its unwitting prey.

Unaware of the looming danger overhead, Layla pressed onward, her thoughts consumed by the urgency of her mission. She remained oblivious to the spider's silent presence, the subtle rustle of leaves and the faint creaking of branches serving as the only indicators of its proximity.
