In the dark and dim underground cavern, a small number of fluorescent bacteria and luminescent crystals can barely illuminate the surrounding area, and it is almost impossible to see.

"Wow~"

The sound of water echoes through the dark cavern, forming cascading echoes. Occasionally, a dull, long sound of air currents can be heard, as if some kind of giant beast was breathing slowly.

In the silence, the sound of water splashing suddenly surged violently, as if the waves crashed on the shore.

The faint fluorescent bacteria brightened, and the light was refracted and diffused by the crystalline clusters growing on the rock wall, instantly illuminating the dark cavern.

So you can finally see it.

A wide cave with a clear distinction between the left and right sides. On one side is an underground lake filled with black water, and on the other side is a flat volcanic rock floor.

A fat worm with more than ten blades long lay on the rocky ground, constantly expelling white spider eggs the size of a fist at an extremely terrifying speed, accumulating a pile in the blink of an eye.

It has a lot of sand spiders around it.

The monsters that had been crazy like nightmares during the attack on the Great Twilight Forest were now in order, lining up in long lines to carry their eggs into the corridors that led to nowhere.

The egg-laying activity of the bug suddenly stopped.

Its fat body trembled slightly, until it spewed out a white body, and then began to lay eggs.

It's just like recovering from a serious illness, the speed is much slower.

"Richard, huh......"

She leaps into the black lake, as agile as a mermaid.

............

On the third day after the full moon, Chief Setos, who had received the news, had already rushed to the Goliath Breach.

After listening to everything about the spider, the bald giant sat cross-legged on the ground and frowned and meditated for a long time, sometimes smacking his lips and sometimes shaking his head, looking as painful as constipation.

"If you have any ideas, please listen to them. "The lord sat on a rattan rocking chair with a thick bandage on his shoulders, and was eating the fruit gracefully.

As an injury number, of course, it is quite preferential. On each side squatted a delicate and lovely tiger spirit girl, who was seriously beating his legs.

"If I say it casually, you can just listen to it. Chief Setos scratched the top of his bare head.

"From what we've observed before, sand spiders can live for up to three to five years. And the quantity, as you can see, is huge. In other words, they change quickly, and the number of new sand spiders every day must be astronomical. ”

"That's right. "It's a very simple logic, and Richard still has no problem understanding it.

The sheer sheer number combined with the short lifespan means that a large number of new members must be added at any time to keep the population from shrinking.

"If only the spider queen was as big as you humans. Chief Setos looked down at Richard.

Whether it is a human or a tiger spirit, the size is often not as large as the palm of the iron giant. In his mind, it's all downright petty.

"Can she really lay so many eggs?"

"Actually, I thought it was a little strange at first. "The lord threw away the half-eaten kernel with his hand, he is very extravagant now, and any fruit is sweeter when it is only eaten on the side of the sun when it is grown.

"Generally speaking, a character like the queen who is responsible for all the breeding tasks of the entire population is highly alienated physically, and it is difficult to even move. Richard snapped his fingers, "This is the price that must be paid in order to obtain strong fecundity." ”

"Definitely. Chief Setos nodded repeatedly, "There's no reason to take on the task of breeding while still being at the top of the fighting power. ”

"And through the dissection, I also found something very interesting. Richard snapped his fingers, "Unlike the sand spider, the black spider has a complete gonad. In other words, it is an independent race that can reproduce itself, not a high-ranking member of the sand spider group. ”

"Maybe the sand spiders were born by black spiders, maybe they weren't?" Chief Setos began to speculate.

"We'll go back and verify this. Richard pulled the sword from under Elizabeth's buttocks, "Please, Chief, do me a favor." ”

Originally, it was going to be identified by Buckland, but after all, the mountain fort was far away, and it would be too late for a while. Thinking about the Iron Giant, he also has 10,000 years of experience, so he just try his luck.

"You're so polite. Setos took the sword from Richard's hand like a toothpick and said with a serious face, "No matter what, I should sincerely thank you for your efforts and sacrifices to protect the forest." ”

"If it weren't for my whim, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been such a show. The lord shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The spider queen was attracted by Dracula's blood, but it was clearly himself who came up with the idea of bloodletting, and he couldn't rely on anyone.

"What do you want me to help with?"

"This sword seems to be made of a very special material, help me palm the eye. ”

In the more than two days since he got his hands, the lord has not studied much.

From the hilt to the blade, it is all made of the same material, as if it were ground out of a single piece of ore. The weight is about the same as that of an ordinary long sword, and the sharpness can only be said to be okay, the only special thing is that the hardness is really terrifying.

"It's a little thing, it's on me. The big bald scoop patted his chest very proudly, "In the Titan era, the Iron King was the most famous forger of the giant clan, and even the dwarves learned the craft from us, and I haven't seen any rare materials!"

"Don't talk so full, the province will be embarrassed. Richard looked at him with a smug look on his face, and couldn't help but provoke him.

"Don't question the professionalism of the professionals!" Chief Setos was proud.

He held the sword on his two fingers and carefully placed it in front of his eyes, and the whole person had fallen into a state of extreme concentration.

............

"Vozh. These were the first words he uttered after observing them for a long time.

"Chief, you don't really know each other, do you. Richard didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

"I know it, I know it, but it's actually a whole piece of Mittrungen wind-milled oralcum!" Chief Setos slapped his thigh, his voice shaking so that the leaves on the crown of the tree fell straight down. The forest birds within a few hundred yards all flew up, expressing their anger with a rain of bird droppings.

Richard dodged quickly, but the Iron Giant was drenched on his head, but he had no time to care about these little things, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"I didn't expect to see this thing in my lifetime!"

"What is the oralmost?" the lord was almost stunned by the long list of names.

"Mittrungen wind-milled oralcum. Vera added calmly, "I haven't heard of it either. ”

"Haven't heard of it, right, it's normal, I know you haven't heard of it. The Iron Giant returned the sword to Richard, "It was occasionally found in our day, but before the Titans came to the New World, they confiscated this thing as one of the most important materials, and there were not many left in the other world." ”

"When the Elven Empire is defeated, if they are not mentally retarded, they will definitely have a round of scraping. Chief Setos looked at Richard with a smile, "As for humans, there is not a single hair left, so of course you haven't heard of it." ”
