Chapter 62: The Black Forest (4)

Thanks to the passer-by on the other side, the bee-eater Misaki, and the reward of holding back the glory to death.

"You mean...... The unusual restlessness of these bugs is due to the pair of ...... I wear on my feet Socks? ”

Glancing down at his legs with a very complicated expression, Li Bai asked Lilith in disbelief.

As she said this, another fire bullet in her hand fired, severely injuring a deformed spider that was almost the size of an adult.

"The body of a dark spider...... There must be something that has a strong attraction to the earth spider. Lilith stood beside Li Bai and watched with interest as she continued to fire flame bullets like a turret.

"Whenever it's mating time, the Dark Spider is the favorite gift of the female of the Earth Spider...... Now look at these crazy guys, there must not be many female spiders in the group, and they have to stalk you 'baby' hehehehehe......"

"You're still in the mood to laugh!" glared at the red-haired girl viciously, and Li Bai's face turned a little pale.

There are many people in this world who hate and even fear spiders, and unfortunately, she is one of them.

The thought that he had been targeted by a group of larger and more aggressive such bugs, and had become a living sacrifice for breeding in their eyes, Li Bai felt a burst of hair in his heart, and goosebumps rose one after another.

Fortunately, Archibald's ancestral home has a record of this monster, and his understanding of its habits is still above Lilith, and he immediately led the team to find a mud pit that has accumulated a lot of rain, and with the characteristics of the opponent's fear of water and Li Bai's superb lethality, it is finally not possible to let the front collapse in front of the attacking spider colony.

But...... This situation can only be maintained for the time being.

Because, although the fire dragon's flame bullet is very low for her with the dragon race template, it is not infinitely unleashed.

And this magic card is only for monsters with a garrison of less than 800 to have a one-hit killing effect, although the attack power of the earth spider is 0, the garrison power has reached 1500, and the most serious injuries can be caused by one shot.

"How many spiders are there in this colony?" Wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead, Li Bai looked in horror at the giant insects that were still crawling out of the depths of the dense forest.

The body structure of the earth spider is very, very strange, most of them are slightly yellowish brown grass green, the shape from the head and chest to the abdomen is more like an ant, and the division of the eight long legs is completely different from that of ordinary spiders - one pair is very forward, and the other three pairs are very backward, which means that the back half of it looks very much like a claw with six fingers and claws.

"I don't know, what I know about this monster is what the teacher told me." Lilith gradually stopped laughing, and the ridicule and schadenfreude had to be enjoyed on the premise of her own safety, but the current situation obviously did not allow her to be idle any longer.

"But I remember that the teacher mentioned the number of earth spiders that Sister Tempel had stocked...... There are about 300 of them, and at the moment, this spider colony looks to be at least in their early 200s, which is very close to the number of jΓΉ. ”

β€œ300οΌŸβ€ Opened his mouth exaggeratedly, Li Bai had an unspeakable resentment towards the magic envoy he had never met, "Why didn't she just raise 300,000?" And then you can use these things to destroy MiΓ¨ Endymion? ”

"Don't be angry, these guys didn't teleport from Myrazon, and it's not a good habit to dump the pot on someone else...... I told you this thing was going extinct...... right," Lilith spread her hands, "It's very difficult to get them to reproduce steadily, it's not easier than fighting a war, and it just so happens that the dark spider is also an endangered species, so this black silk fabric is so precious." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then I don't have time to take this thing off my feet now. Li Bai shot out another fireball, calculated the souls he could mobilize, and found that it was almost insufficient.

"I'm afraid it's too late, if you don't get a lot of rain and sweat, it's better to say, now...... Even if you take it off, the breath can't be shaken off, they will just tear the socks to shreds and eat them, and then they will attack you even more frantically. ”

"Then we're going to die here!" Li Bai was a little crazy.

What is the meaning of unjustified disaster, she understands it thoroughly.

If she wasn't convinced that the species hadn't been seen in Floris for at least hundreds of years, she would have even wondered if the woman had deliberately given her clothes of this material in order to kill her.

"I want to help too!" Lilith yelled at her with an embarrassed face, "But the only magic book I can mobilize now is the [Water Divination Magic Book], and after 1000 points of power are stacked, I still can't break these guys' defenses!" Their shells are too hard, okay? ”

"What a useless fool!" Li Bai opened his mouth and taunted her, "Along the way, what other contributions do you have besides the crow's mouth!?" ”

"At least I'm not afraid of spiders!" Lilith immediately retorted, she picked up a long branch from nowhere, and trembled through the gap surrounded by the warriors, intending to use guΓ² to do something.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Two lovely girls, can you wait a while and talk, let's ...... We're already surrounded! Garva struggled to swing his small axe back from an invading insect, and he looked at the spiders' sheer size, and then at the less than 30 centimeters of the weapon in his hand, and felt the need to do something to increase his sense of security.

"Oh! Oh!! Here's a request for fireball support! And here! That's great! Wait a minute...... Oh my God, don't get so close! ”

(How did this comic survive until now...... οΌ‰

Watching Gava throw out his last remaining weapon in order to extinguish the fire on his pants, Li Bai couldn't help but want to cry.

The other party was not wrong at all, they were indeed surrounded, surrounded by at least hundreds of giant spiders in this muddy puddle.

On a normal day, she would have vomited at the disgusting touch of falling into the mud below her ankles, but now...... Looking at the sharp fangs on the heads of those terrible bugs, she felt that there was nothing unbearable about the touch.

At least the water provides them with a little shelter - dry earth spiders hate getting wet.

Otherwise, this team of only 9 people would have collapsed long ago under the overwhelming number of minions.

"Don't panic, we still have a chance to ......" Thor gasped and trembled slightly as he picked up a short sword.

Just now, all his arrows had been exhausted, and the result was nothing more than the killing of two spiders, which was nothing more than a swarm of insects.

"The reason why so much rain has accumulated in this depression...... I took a look, probably because there used to be a stream here...... At least it's a ditch or something......"

He used his dagger to open a vegetative vegetation that was obscuring his view, and leaned over with a broken lampstand to shine a picture, and everyone followed, and sure enough, they found that the puddle at his feet had indeed stretched all the way through.

"But Captain!" Someone in the team said uneasily, "There...... But to the deepest part of the Black Forest! ”

"If we deviate from our course, even if we get rid of this group of demons, how are we going to get out of the jungle without a map?"

"You're trying to survive...... Thinking about how to get out, or do you want to stay here...... Give them a snack!? Archibald said coldly.

Of course, he had the advantage of being young and bloodlined, but it still took him a lot of effort to take into account the defensive circle of a few people, and if it weren't for his swiftness and his ability to move back and forth in a few loopholes, the team at this time would never be 9 people.

There are too many of these spiders. Although they have very poor attack methods and can easily force them back, they also have their own advantages...... It is to give birth to an unusually hard carapace, this kind of carapace glowing with a yellowish brown glow under the light of fluorite, ordinary swordsmen can't cut into it at all, at most they can only leave a white mark on the carapace, and if Thor's dozen arrows are not lucky enough to shoot through the spider's mouthparts, I'm afraid they won't even be able to hurt one.

"They don't look scared to go into the water...... Let's go along this ditch, and we can only do this......" Li Bai, who was a little mentally abnormal by the frightened things, saw the possibility of escape at this moment, and naturally raised her hands and feet in agreement, and her tone of voice was obviously nervous, and she could detect a slight trembling tone if she listened carefully.

Everyone was not stupid, and it was natural to see that she was tired after releasing so many flame bullets, although the results were very brilliant compared to the othersβ€”it probably took the lives of more than twenty earth spiders, but the total number was still far from enough.

They have to make a choice.

"It's all like this...... Is there a choice? Gava took a step back, and Lilith almost fell, but fortunately Li Bai helped her.

He swung a thick newfound twig and slammed a spider's head as he slammed it back.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go!!"

"Everybody back away, watch out for the mud on the soles of your feet...... Don't fall, we have to keep the formation......" Seeing this situation, Thor simply gave the order to retreat.

He looked at the broken longbow at his feet with regretful eyes, and sighed.

"I should have had more good hands with Lord Moon......

All the earth spiders surrounding them did not deliberately block the small area of the ditch, no doubt because of their characteristics, to everyone's expectation, the spiders that were close to their retreat direction obediently retreated after they drove them away for a while, and everyone held their only remaining weapons in their hands, maintaining a relatively balanced speed to confront these terrible predators, their situation was still quite dangerous - no matter how far back, the swarm would always catch up, Hang in the back without hurrying.

Time passed quietly in the process of this confrontation, and before they knew it, they had completely moved away from the path that had been opened up, and really entered the center of the dense forest.

"This is the case...... Doesn't seem right......"

Uttering the sentence in a slightly trembling tone, Gava unsurprisingly received no answer.

Everyone's face was unusually ugly.

Especially Li Bai, her skin looked even whiter than her hair at the moment.

Not for anything else, just because as she went deeper into the dense forest step by step, more and more dense appeared in her field of vision......

Giant cobwebs.
