The 2.5 meters wide eye on the spider's abdomen shrunk and widened continuously, each time focusing on a different thread. It was so engrossed, in fact, that it didn't realize when a new thread had appeared on the Scorpion King's body, and this thread was connecting the spider and the scorpion king.
The longer the spider stared at Hao Xuan's threads, the thicker the thread connecting it and the scorpion king became until it looked like a small rope.
Finally having chosen its target from the countless threads coming out of Hao Xuan, the spider's eye focused on a special one.
This thread was one of the flimsiest looking ones, like it had been corroded after a long period of neglect. Yet it still shined with a bright red light, much brighter than 95% of the other threads, even the ones that were much thicker.
Two of the spider's sixteen legs reached out in Hao Xuan's direction and as if passing through a curtain of water, disappeared completely.
