Strange, that chair looks so ordinary, but it gives off a feeling of "it would definitely be comfortable to sit on."
"I feel so tired, so listless...."
Seeing that there didn't seem to be any sense of hostility here, Abel let his arms droop and swung them back and forth, as if exhaustion had suddenly overwheld him. When he saw that bench, he sat on it without thinking, leaning back on the comfortable bench with a groan, finding it surprisingly soft.
His body wasn't particularly tired, but ntally he was exhausted, or perhaps jaded.
Within the vast interior of the building, Abel's voice of talking to himself echoed.
"I don't know what's going on lately. It seems like my energy drains quickly, and I can't concentrate on anything... Ah, could it be because I'm getting older? I heard humans reach a certain age and go through nopause, could it be that I'm also..."
This sensation of rapidly draining energy appeared only recently in Abel, and upon careful reflection, it seems to have started around the ti the War Festival reopened.
It felt like he'd lost interest in everything in the world, like those tired electronics who can't be bothered to boot up a ga. Abel couldn't be bothered to do anything either.
At first, he was unwilling to do things he wasn't interested in. Then he beca annoyed with the work he was supposed to do within his clan. Now, even though he was quite looking forward to collecting plants, he got lazy as soon as he entered the Cangyin Dungeon, and it definitely wasn't because of being disgusted by spiders.
"Ah, I just want to lie in bed, do nothing, and live aimlessly..."
Abel let out a groan of give-up, closed his eyes to rest, and soon enough, snoring could be heard.
What he didn't notice was that this laziness didn't seem to be happening just to him.
Those friends who usually played with him also seed a bit reluctant when called out to play recently. Moer was disinterested in the daily training left by Uffie, and even Elo would yawn at banquets welcoming Luluwo.
What was happening now was sothing he couldn't understand for the ti being.
After who knows how long, Abel opened his eyes. After a nap, he felt refreshed, and his Essence Qi seed to have returned.
"Alright, let's go see how everyone else is doing with their collection. That's it for today."
He yawned and just attempted to stand up from the bench.
"Huh? I can't stand up?"
His body wouldn't budge, or more accurately, it was as if the bench had glued him down!
Only then did he realize the reason the bench felt so soft was because a large number of dark spider webs were stuck to it!
"How can this be... such strong adhesion... damn it, I can't get up!"
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up. The spider webs were sticking to his skin, and he didn't dare to yank too hard.
This is so embarrassing, if word got out, everyone would definitely mock him unrcifully.
Just as Abel was thinking of how to break free, a faint sound ca from the side.
He suddenly looked over, and the next mont, he saw the corpses of the insects originally lying on the ground beginning to rise slowly, surrounding him completely.
"Um, do you guys need sothing?"
Being stared at by dozens of enormous insects standing upright like humans, Abel managed to pull out a wry smile.
The insects didn't utter a word, slowly advancing towards him.
"Wait, what are you planning to do!"
"I'm warning you, don't co any closer!"
"Get away, ahhhh!"
