Hua Hua tightly protected Xiao Zhuzi with her uninjured wing and softly said, "Xiao Zhuzi, don't be afraid! This is the Spider Guerrilla Team, and the one who just saved you is Captain Goliath!"
The Snail Village Chief quickly stepped forward, wanting to shield the little girl and Ladybug. Xiao Zhuzi felt a bit more at ease; she clutched Hua Hua's wing and raised her eyes to observe the battle unfolding before her.
At that moment, Captain Goliath was using his powerful front legs to firmly grasp a Giant Moth, which struggled desperately but could not escape his grip, emitting hissing roars. Meanwhile, dozens of Spider Team Members swiftly climbed the surrounding trees, rapidly shooting out large amounts of Spider Silk to weave several massive Spider Webs, successfully blocking the path of two other Giant Moths. One of them was even stuck with its wings firmly glued to the web, temporarily immobilized.
Seeing that the time was right, Captain Goliath shouted, "Prepare to attack!" Upon hearing the command, the Spider Team Members quickly formed three solid tower-shaped attack formations. The Giant Moths seemed familiar with this formation; they immediately sensed danger and attempted to break free and flee!
However, the Spider Guerrilla Team would not give them a chance to escape unscathed. "Fire!" Captain Goliath commanded! He then unleashed a large mass of Spider Silk from his mouth. This Spider Silk was exceptionally tough, shaped like a dart, and glistening with venom under the moonlight. A volley of Spider Silk bullets shot towards the Giant Moth he had captured. In an instant, the Giant Moth was riddled with holes, its sticky yellow blood pooling on the ground and emitting a nauseating stench.
Following Captain Goliath's attack order, the Spider Team Members began firing as well, unleashing countless Spider Silk bullets that rained down on the other two Giant Moths. One of them, whose wings were stuck in the Spider Web, curled its body behind its wings and struggled with all its might, managing to tear a large hole in the web. It then flapped its damaged wings and frantically fled towards Grass Leaf Forest. However, having already been hit by the poisoned Spider Silk bullets, it was unlikely that it would escape unscathed. The other Giant Moth had already been so frightened that it abandoned its companion without hesitation and fled in panic.
Xiao Zhuzi was stunned by the thrilling battle before her. If it weren't for Hua Hua gently wiping her face with her wing, she wouldn't have realized that she was already streaming tears from fear. Captain Goliath approached the Spider Team Members to assess the situation. "Are you all okay? Is anyone injured?" His gaze quickly swept over everyone, and when he saw Hua Hua entangled in grass leaves with her wing, his brow furrowed tightly. "Hua Hua, how are you hurt? What happened?"
Hua Hua immediately stood up straight and replied loudly, "Report Captain Goliath! Not long ago, I was attacked by a Giant Moth. It was Snail Village Chief and Xiao Zhuzi who discovered me in time and saved me using Scattering Blood Grass. Since they were also heading to Xian Cao Garden to find Dragonfly Elder, they decided to take me along. Please rest assured; my injuries are not serious! I guarantee I will complete my mission!"
After hearing Hua Hua's response, Captain Goliath turned his gaze towards Xiao Zhuzi with an expression of undisguised surprise. He exuded a powerful aura; even without speaking, he radiated an invisible pressure. Xiao Zhuzi felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze; however, Captain Goliath did not ask further questions but merely nodded gently in acknowledgment. He knew that Hua Hua, as an experienced intelligence officer, was always clever and calm; her judgment was trustworthy.
He then extended one long leg and gently patted Hua Hua's shoulder with authority. "Alright, Hua Hua, I believe you!" He then pointed across the small stream with another long leg. "Cross this stream and head east; Xian Cao Garden is right there. If you leave now, you should arrive before dawn. Go quickly! We will stay here; there won't be any more Giant Moth attacks!"
Captain Goliath seemed to possess an innate calming power; he and his team were incredibly reliable. Despite facing such a formidable creature, Xiao Zhuzi still felt some fear in her heart but mustered her courage to deeply bow to Captain Goliath. "Thank you so much for saving our lives! We are truly grateful!" At Xiao Zhuzi's reminder, Snail Village Chief and Hua Hua also came back to their senses and hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Captain Goliath.
Time was running short; the three members of Ground Sky Squad quickly gathered their scattered belongings and continued on their way in the direction indicated by Captain Goliath. Having survived such a fierce battle, they couldn't help but feel lingering fear as they recalled the intense scene; none of them spoke during the journey ahead. They crossed the stream and continued eastward through a vast meadow.
As dawn approached and the sky gradually brightened with a pale light on the horizon, they finally caught sight of the vague outline of Xian Cao Garden in the distance.
