Xiao Yao looked in the direction indicated and saw something resembling a black spider as big as a rice bowl, with eight legs. However, only the legs were visible while the body appeared very small, and the fuzzy hair on it stood up like spikes. At that moment, it slowly crawled towards Shui Youran's bodyguard.
The two guides, upon seeing this creature, turned pale with panic and said, "Oh no, we've encountered a Mantis Spider. This thing is highly poisonous. Once bitten, you become its meal, and it will consume you down to the bone without leaving anything behind."
"What?" None of the others had seen this kind of poisonous insect before.
"Then I'll kill it right now," said the bodyguard, who pulled out a sharp, pointed knife and swiftly struck at the Mantis Spider.
"Don't do it!"
"Don't do it!"
The ones objecting were the two guides.
