Chapter 19: Infiltration
"Chief Taipan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info" Ansu said suddenly, using a lingua franca that made Chief Taipan turn his head in surprise.
"Do you know the lingua franca?" Chief Taipan asked, as far as he knew, the people who could speak the language were the top of the clan.
"Yes." Ansu spoke, "I think it's worth reminding: the longer it drags on, the more mutated spider-men will likely be. And--" she raised her chin slightly, looking at them nonchalantly, "we are fully capable of traversing spider-man territory, it just takes a little more time." ā
Chief Taipan's face sank, obviously he remembered what Balu had reported to him, each of these people was superior in combat power, and they did have the strength to pass through the territory of the spider people. His eyes quickly met Baru's, and then quickly skimmed over the horned viper. He already had a decision in his heart.
"I'll organize my clan as soon as possible." Chief Taipan said in a hard-bending tone, "But about teaching the Black Mamba ......"
"Don't worry, I'll teach him with all my heart." Sun Tong said.
The horned viper was about to say something more, but Chief Taipan raised his hand to stop him. He stared straight at Sun Yan, and then looked at An Su deeply: "I will keep my promise, and I hope you will do the same." ā
"Of course."
After exiting the residence of Chief Taipan, the two walked in silence for a while, and Ansu looked up at the huge mushroom umbrella cover, which was bordered by the golden sun.
"How are you going to teach him?" An Su suddenly asked, after studying medicine for a few years, you can't learn anything. The half-snake people know this.
"Teach him back what they were wizards from." "Stripped of the complicated history and priestly rituals, there are only a few prescriptions left to cure the common ills of the swamps." In terms of medicinal herbs, he only needed to recognize the few he needed. ā
"But apparently they want more." Ansu said.
"What doesn't belong to them, never think."
Simon and Li Kai stayed bored in the house, and An Su and Sun Yan went to see Chief Taipan, who stayed to guard the house. They didn't have a problem with the bitter smell of medicine that permeated the house, but the half-snake people didn't seem to like the smell and didn't dare to stay near the house for too long. Simon and Li Kai sat at the door, feeling that mushrooms were about to grow on their bodies.
"The captain and Sun Cheng have been gone for a long time...... Li Kai said.
"Yes......" Simon replied.
After a while.
"Why hasn't the captain come back yet......" Simon said.
"Yes......" replied Li Kai.
ā¦ā¦
While the two were repeating a meaningless topic at the door, An Su and Sun Yan finally returned. The two suddenly felt that their lives were full of sunshine again.
"You're back!" The two greeted them with a smile, but there was no tail behind them wagging desperately.
The four of them entered the house, and Ansu told Simon and Li Kai about the conversation with Chief Taipan.
"This old thing, I want to take advantage of all the advantages." Li Kai said with his hands crossed on his chest.
"We can't rely on them entirely." Ansu said, "I'm going to explore the territory of the spider-men. ā
"It's a bit risky." Sun Tong said.
"Indeed." An Su nodded, but the conversation changed, "Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative." She firmly believes that the road is her own, rather than waiting for others to help her. Moreover, although the two sides reached a unanimous agreement, Ansu obviously did not fully believe in the half-snake man.
"If you're going, take me." Sun Tong said.
"No, this time it's up to me and Li Kai to go."
"Captain, I'm going too!" Simon said hurriedly. Why didn't the captain take him with him? Could it be that he is not strong enough?
"You and Sun Cheng stay here." Ansu patted Simon on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you will be indispensable to kill spider people when the time comes." She turned her head to Sun Yan and said, "The half-snake man will definitely keep an eye on you, so you stay here and teach the half-snake man healing skills." You'll have to get some emergency medicine for us, though. ā
"I will."
Since the last time he was caught off guard by the Half-Snake and their helpers, Swiftfoot quickly summoned the other spider-men to devise a series of battle plans. They want to make it clear once again that the main task now is to protect the eggs laid by the Spider Queen, and no spider-man can step out of the territory at will. It is necessary to intensify patrols, and report the discovery of half-snakes and their helpers in a timely manner, and not to attack rashly. Finally, weave more nets so that the enemy has nowhere to enter.
When An Su and Li Kai approached the spider-man's territory again, they obviously felt the difference. The last time I visited, I could see giant mushrooms that looked like they had been veiled, and now the spider-man's territory looks like it's wrapped in a huge cocoon.
"Damn, are these spider-men going to live in a snail's nest?" Li Kai looked at the white giant cocoon dozens of meters high in amazement and whispered.
"Butterflies before they break out of their cocoons tend to be the most vulnerable." Ansu brushed aside a handful of grass in front of her and squinted her eyes at the giant cocoon in front of her. Spider-Man suffered such a big loss but did not retaliate, but was calm and suspicious. What conspiracy are they hatching? Or are you waiting for something to break out of the cocoon?
We'll have to find out this time.
The edges of the spider-man's territory are covered in spider silk, and it is not easy to find an entrance. These entanglements of spider silk can trigger the alarm system at the slightest flick of one, so they have to be extra cautious.
However, any tight defense has its own shortcomings, and a territory as large as the spider-man cannot be surrounded as tightly as an iron bucket, and there will always be a breakthrough. An Su and Li Kai are now looking for such a breakthrough.
They carefully stalked through clumps of grass and shrubs, and in order not to be easily spotted, they were not coated with mosquito repellent potions. Soon, the exposed places on their bodies were full of bags, and Li Kai couldn't help but scratch them for a while, and he really wanted to transform and disappear immediately.
The air in the swamp was humid and muggy, and there were constant mosquito harassments, and Li Kai squatted in the grass, feeling that he was about to collapse. There are no high-tech detection instruments, and the most primitive human detection is a great test of human endurance and willpower. Li Kai gritted his teeth and told himself to endure for another second. In this way, it seemed that after countless seconds, Li Kai finally heard a heavenly voice.
"We dive over that body of water and swim through the bottom." Ansu said, pointing to the water in front of him. The waters stretched into the Spider-Man's realm, and the surface of the water was covered with leaves of aquatic plants like lotus leaves, which could hide their tracks. I just don't know if there are leeches and vicious crocodile catfish in the water.
Ansu tried to use her mental strength to probe the spider-men's tracks, but at this distance, she could barely detect the distribution of the spider-men guarding the border. She told Li Kai about these situations in detail.
"Let's go!" Ansu whispered and took the lead in diving into the water. (To be continued.) )
