A large explosion rocked the surroundings, followed by several bits of vegetation getting ripped out of the ground.
From the blast, Mike slid out of the smoke with his arms crossed, smoke wafting off his furred arms as he stared ahead with a sharp expression.

It embedded itself inside a tree behind him, and before he could retreat, the spider that had released it tugged, and its body shot at him with a vengeance. Its front legs were raised and ready to strike, but instead of dodging, Mike went forward to meet it.
Sharp limbs struck against claws, and the ground shattered from the force as, surprisingly, the spider staggered.
