What was the line between life and death?
Sometimes, the line between life and death was very straightforward.
It was to move forward and to live.
To stop was to die.
Other than the cold feeling of either life or death, there was also something called hope mixed into it and it became the real line between life and death.
Tang Ling was left with no other choice. Every step he took was a path to survival.
Even when the spider queen's appendages pierced his skin, pierced his muscles, and even touched his bones, occasionally leaving a crack on his bones, the feeling was unbearable.
Even when the tentacles turned into ropes and dragged Tang Ling down, he still had to move forward.
Tang Ling still had to move forward!
Wasn't there still hope in the middle? What was hope? It was victory. It was the right to live and the reward after he survived.
However, in an instant …
Two seconds? Or three seconds?
Tang Ling's back was already riddled with a dozen bloody holes. Several more tentacles coiled around him and bound him tightly.
"Motherf * cker!" Tang Ling squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth, but he did not despair.
The headquarters of the Fallen Star Church was less than 10 meters away from him. As long as he could break free from the bindings, he would have a second to dash over, smash the door open, and barge into the church.
He might not be a match for the spider queen, but he was still lucky, was he not?
His heavy backpack and the various items he had collected in his backpack prevented him from sustaining serious injuries.
The sharpness of the Blood Bulrush Sword allowed him to cut off the spider queen's tentacles in time.
Fortunately, the spider queen was confident. She did not chase after him but stood on the spot to attack Tang Ling.
After all, Tang Ling was running towards the headquarters and nowhere else. From the spider queen's point of view, running into the headquarters was like walking into a trap.
As long as Tang Ling went in, he would not have a chance to run anymore.
Gripping the Blood Bulrush Sword tightly, Tang Ling cut off all the tentacles around him again. This time, he used his sword intent. Otherwise, he could not have cut off so many tentacles that seemed like they could regenerate endlessly in one go.
Tang Ling sprinted forward with all his might and finally reached the entrance of the Fallen Star Church. He smashed the door open and dashed in.
It was at that moment that Tang Ling looked up and saw the familiar door.
A notification popped up in his head.
'Endless Pursuit mission completed. 95% completion. SS rating. Reward: 15 Dream Coins. "
"Obviously, everything you've done has surpassed the limits of your abilities. From the beginning to the end, this has always been the case. The Dream World of Fairness will never forget that you were just an ordinary kid who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. "
"In the end, you finally faced the invincible Spider Queen. Was she really invincible? Who knows? But obviously, if you defeat her, you will achieve a great achievement. Mission Completion Rating: SSS. "
"So, do you want to quit now?"
"Really? No? "
A strange expression appeared on Tang Ling's face. There seemed to be a lot of illogical points in the Dream Domain in the end.
Was the Spider Queen invincible? Of course! Otherwise, the Dream Domain would not have chosen the Fallen Star Church's headquarters as the final exit point.
This was their only chance of survival!
He could already imagine that if he did not run towards the church but towards the other end of the alleyway, how could the eight-legged Spider Queen catch up to him? Then, he could easily kill or capture him …
The Dream Domain was obviously and purposely giving him a chance to escape. Instead of calling it a temptation, the last hint felt more like a threat and a threat.
The meaning behind the hint was that one should not do crazy things over and over again. One day, one would hit a wall and lose their only chance of survival.
Similar to his rash decision to come to the Fallen Star Church's headquarters …
In short, the Dream Domain seemed like it was going to let him go.
However, was Tang Ling someone who would accept such threats and threats? Of course not. The next time he entered the dream, he would still be as crazy as before. He was just testing the limits of the Dream Domain.
Familiarizing himself with the entire Dream Domain was more important than anything else.
Tang Ling did not even hesitate when he saw the message in his mind. He chose 'Yes'.
**
"Is this your threat to the kid? He doesn't seem to care at all. It seems like he's grateful that the Dream Domain still has to pay for his crazy actions in the end and spare him a chance to live. What a joke, ending the endless pursuit mission in a hurry at the Fallen Star Church's headquarters. "Ya could not help but mock Tang Ling when he saw his final decision." What a joke.
Of course, the mockery was not directed at Tang Ling. It was purposely done to annoy Kun.
Kun pouted but did not say anything.
Ya seemed to be interested as he continued, "No matter how I look at it, the Dream Domain wants to coax the kid out. What a joke. Hehehe … The endless pursuit mission actually has a chance of winning? Kun, aren't you being a little too ugly? "
Kun squinted his eyes and a dangerous glint flashed over his eyes. It was obvious that he was angry.
At that moment, Ya said, "Alright, I had a great time watching this kid's dream this time. Thank you for your hospitality. I have to get back to work."
After that, Ya's image vanished from Kun's garden.
After Ya disappeared, Kun's expression turned strange. He seemed a little angry and a little happy at the same time, but no one knew what he was planning.
It was then that Shorty Twenty said to Kun with a flattering smile, "Master, Tang Ling is back. Aren't you going?"
Kun replied with a faint smile, "What's wrong with letting him wait for a while?"
However, Shorty Twenty was a talkative person. When he saw Kun leaning on the couch lazily, he could not help but add, "Master, I think your final setting in the Dream Domain doesn't match your intelligence and grandeur."
"Oh?" Kun raised a brow. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.
"Yeah, in the end, it made it seem like the Dream Domain compromised with Tang Ling. They were just short of saying, 'Get out, Master.' I don't think they scared the kid at all. "Shorty Twenty was upset.
"Why didn't they scare him?" Kun pinched a grape and put it in his mouth.
"From what I can see, the Spider Queen might be scary, but given Tang Ling's personality, he'll fight even if he's forced to. At least, he'll think of a way to escape. He must be laughing in his heart. The Dream Domain is too anxious, so they don't dare to make things difficult for him.
"But, Master, are you a coward? Aren't you smarter than Tang Ling? You're purposely sparing Tang Ling this time, but you're worried about something else, aren't you? You might have lied to Ya, but you definitely didn't lie to me. "Shorty Twenty showed a very 'gossipy' expression.
It could not be helped. This was Shorty Twenty's setting. If he had any thoughts in his heart, his face would show it.
Even if he wanted to hide it, he could not.
Shorty Twenty often cried because of this. Could he not be a mysterious person?
Kun slowly chewed on the grape in his mouth. Was it a little clumsy? From Ya's point of view, Kun was just trying to protect his shortcomings.
However, Ya did not know him as well as Shorty Twenty did. Kun purposely acted clumsily because he had a deeper worry.
However, his worry was not something Shorty Twenty could listen to.
"Shut up." With that in mind, Kun slapped Shorty Twenty into a circle and tossed him out.

Tang Ling felt terrible as he lay on the ground. Compared to the last time he came out of the dream, he was not any better.
The Spider Queen's attacks were too sharp. Aside from the bloody holes that the appendages poked on Tang Ling's body, even the tentacles that coiled around Tang Ling were full of barbs.
Tang Ling might have looked like he broke into the headquarters of the Fallen Star easily, but in less than ten seconds, he was heavily injured.
He was still in the familiar Mysterious Store.
Unfortunately, this time around, the owner, Kun, was not around. A gloomy light shrouded the whole Mysterious Store, and the shelves behind the counter were filled with temptation.
Tang Ling really wanted to struggle up and see what was inside the shelves. He dared not steal Kun's things unless he had a death wish.
However, he had earned quite a lot of Dream Coins this time. If he could check the shelves beforehand, he would have a better idea of what to trade for.
Nevertheless, it was wishful thinking. Aside from the fact that he was heavily injured, his transformation automatically ended while he was waiting for Kun, causing him to fall into a weakened state.
Even in the Mysterious Store, Tang Ling sensed a mysterious force restraining him, preventing him from acting recklessly.
"Kun is really a sneaky bastard," Tang Ling commented before he lay on the ground and stopped moving.
However, was it Kun or him who was the sneaky bastard? It was hard to say.
Seconds turned into minutes, but Kun did not go out.
Tang Ling felt like he was losing too much blood and his body was slowly turning cold.
What is this? Is Kun trying to drag me to death here? Just because I called him a sneaky bastard?
Tang Ling suddenly panicked. What's going on? How long have I been waiting for Kun?
Twenty minutes? Half an hour?
It doesn't make any sense!
Could it be that this place is also an illusion? I didn't really get out of the dream, did I? When he thought about the illogic of the final mission in the dream, a scary thought popped up in his mind.
It was not Tang Ling's fault for letting his imagination run wild. Everything that happened was strange and inexplicable, and no one could figure out what was going on.
Obviously, the speculation made Tang Ling panic a little. After all, anything could happen in the Dream Domain.
So what if he panicked? Tang Ling still could not do anything. All he could do was lie on the floor and wait.
Another 20 minutes passed just like that.
Tang Ling's injuries made his consciousness blur. Should he just sit and wait for his death? No, I can't!
Tang Ling struggled to get up and it was at that moment that footsteps came from the empty Mysterious Store.
A mocking voice that sounded disgusting to Tang Ling finally said, "Yo, why do you always look like a dead dog at my place?"
