After an Infinite Flow Player Retires

This place was of a hexagonal, honeycomb like structure. It was surrounded by holes in all directions and each hole was guarded by spider soldiers.

This was clearly the central hub of all the passages.

Unexpectedly, in this open space in the middle of the nest, many fierce ghosts had gathered. They seemed to be waiting for something.

Ye Jia looked around.

The fierce ghosts here were B-level, A-level…..The lowest was a C+. Various races were here. He even saw several familiar faces he had encountered before.

Ye Jia wasn\'t sure whether their abilities had improved in recent years. The only thing he was certain about was that these fierce ghosts hated his existence.

And even if they didn\'t have grudges, it was estimated that they would still go after him for the hatred leaderboard reward.

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Jia added a few more layers of ghost energy to his face for more protection.

The fierce ghosts were talking to each other in low voices. Low hissing whispers echoed in the cave. Ye Jia couldn\'t hear what they were talking about but he had a hunch inside — It may have something to do with why he hadn\'t encountered any spider soldiers at the entrance of this cave.

He cautiously approached two hungry ghosts nearby who were talking to each other.

But before Ye Jia could hear anything important, the ground suddenly shook.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Those heavy sounds slowly got closer. It made the entire cave tremble.

The fierce ghosts stopped talking and looked in the direction of the sound.

A giant spider climbed up from below the ground. Her body was as large as four or five spider soldiers combined and her long legs were covered with sharp hairs that were enough to cover a 100 square metre field. Her abdomen was deformed and grotesque, and it was densely covered with markings which looked like a blood red ghost face from a distance.

Compared to her shockingly large body, her head appeared small and unnatural.

It was an ordinary human face with fair skin, beautiful features and a pair of dark, emotional eyes.

Behind her huge belly, she dragged a long pupae-like egg sac.

The egg sac was swollen to the point that it looked almost translucent. One could even see small larvae wriggling around inside.

—– Spider queen.

Ye Jia examined this creature in front of him. A dignified look flashed across his eyes.

A queen of this level…..

S-level.

This could be troublesome.

If the opponent was alone, there was probably still a chance of winning but right now he was not only in the ghost-face spider\'s nest—–there were also many familiar fierce ghosts too….

He basically had no chance of winning.

Just as Ye Jia tried to think of a solution, the queen before him suddenly spoke up. Her voice was soft and sweet, it didn\'t match her huge and grotesque body.

"I believe everyone is willing to gather here today for the same purpose."

Those dark eyes slowly passed through the numerous ghosts on front of her. Her voice suddenly became cold and malicious, "We don\'t recognise this King."

"Yes!" "That\'s right!"

"…..He isn\'t qualified."

A burst of approval sounded through the cave.

Oh my.

Ye Jia pulled himself out of his thoughts and suddenly became interested in the content of their meeting.

Are these fierce ghosts thinking of going against each other?

—- This wasn\'t something he would see every day.

He continued to listen on with interest.

"….The game recognises his existence, but we are different." The spider queen\'s eyes flashed with bitter hatred, "He has only been alive for a fraction of our time! I have lived for hundreds of years and have never heard of his name. He is a small fry with no influence and no territory, and he even killed all his followers! Thinking that he can sudden lead us just because he suddenly gained the games approval? In his dreams!"

Wow, was this a counterattack in the making?

Amazing.

Ye Jia was extremely invested.

"….And even being obsessed with searching for that human." A cold voice suddenly interjected from the ground below.

Ye Jia: "…….."

He had a bad feeling.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Voices of approval became stronger this time.

"Wasting so many resources for that single human," that cold voice as filled with mockery, "really passionate he is."

Ye Jia: "………"

Fuck.

"But I really want to find him." Another vicious voice intervened, "He eradicated my entire clan. I want to pay him back properly….."

"Yeah, yeah. I used to…."

"He also did to me….."

With that familiar name, the fierce ghosts on the ground below started to argue.

Ye Jia: "…….."

So, what exactly is this?

A conference for Ace\'s victims?

The small black hand made its untimely appearance. It leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "You\'re so famous."

Ye Jia was expressionless, "…..You, shut up."

The spider queen seemed to have noticed that they had gone off topic. She spoke again in attempt to push it back onto the right tracks, "—–We don\'t need a King, let alone an unqualified King."

She slowly took a few steps forward. Her heavy steps made the ground shake, "I have already reached an agreement with the other S-level fierce ghosts. When my children are born, everything will be ready."

All the fierce ghosts fell silent. They quietly waited for her follow up.

"Have we now reached a consensus?" The spider mother continued, "Let this King who appeared from who knows were go back to whatever ditch he came from!"

A burst of earth-shaking cheers sounded from the fierce ghosts below.

They clearly liked this proposal.

While the group of fierce ghosts were restless, Ye Jia slowly moved to the back of the spider queen — He was trying to find a good location for him to act.

Clearly, he couldn\'t kill the spider queen here.

That was too unrealistic.

But secretly stealing some fluid was still possible.

Suddenly, from far away, a male voice travelled over from the darkness above. It was light and fluttering and it also seemed distant and calm.

"Really?

As if they had their throats clutched, all voices suddenly stopped. The cave was deadly silent.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Water could faintly be heard in the cave. Ye Jia was startled. He looked down at the source of the sound and saw thick blood slowly seeping out from the cracks in the ground. The height of it rose inch by inch and soon it had covered his entire feet.

Ye Jia\'s heart tightened. He jumped onto a rock behind him.

"Blood gu fish!" A fierce ghost cried out.

Almost at the same time, the ground slowly swelled up and a monster made of bones emerged from the sea of blood. The goat skull was ghastly white, and the dark sockets stared silently at the fierce ghosts before it.

More blood poured out. Dead spider soldiers were washed into the cave along with the river of blood.

The blood gu fish had now completely emerged. It swum in the air.

A pale and slender hand stretched out from the darkness. It gently stroked its skull, "Good child."

"It\'s you….." The spider queen\'s eyes were fixed in that direction. Her pretty face was twisted into a horrible expression and the fangs in her mouth stretched out, gleaming maliciously under the light.

"Ji Xuan….."

Ye Jia who had jumped onto a rock froze.

Wait a minute—-

Ji Xuan?

Ji Xuan??

Ji Xuan??????

He must have heard it wrong. He had most definitely heard it wrong….

It was as if Ye Jia was struck by lightning. He looked up with a shocked look.

The man\'s figure had now emerged completely from the darkness.

His tall figure stood over a void as the blood gu fish swum loyally around him. His pair of scarlet eyes were like a turbulent sea of blood and it gleamed with cold and cruel light while his pale lips held a faint smirk.

"You are not qualified to speak my name."

Although the shape of his body had changed considerably, that face was still five parts similar to his appearance as a child. And that terrifying crazy temperament…..

It was definitely him.

That\'s right.

Ye Jia: "………"

Fuck!!

Fuck!!!!!!

Apart from this single word, he couldn\'t find another word to express his inner shock.

For the first time in history, Ye Jia\'s mind was blank.

He had never thought that there would be a day where he would meet this person again…..

—- Especially after killing him with his own hands.

What bloody feud?

What enemies meeting on a narrow road? (KKnotes: Inevitable clash between enemies, unable to avoid one\'s enemy)

Perhaps it was because he had been standing there in shock for too long or perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense, Ji Xuan who stood next to the blood gu fish seemed to have noticed something and looked in his direction.

Passing through the dark space covered with sticky webs and passing through the struggling fierce ghosts—–

Without warning, the gazes of the two collided.
