Chapter 24: Death hangs by a thread
How could the great spider monster watch its prey run away, and just as I dragged the 'cloak' out of its range, it raised its intact claw and slashed at my head, and I lunged forward in the air, barely dodging the fatal blow, but my right leg, which was slower to retract, was impaled by its hooked claws.
I didn't care about the pain, gritted my teeth, turned around and swung out the short sword, the spider monster's forelimbs that had not yet been pulled out were immediately broken off from the elbow joint, I got up and dragged the injured leg forward immediately after I got my hand, there was a hole formed by the collapse of the rocks not far ahead, roughly visually measured the area of the hole, just enough I could get in, and the big spider monster definitely couldn't get in.
I limped to the small hole here, and the situation on Sanjiu's side was not much better, the four little spider monsters added a lot of wounds to his body, but fortunately, his movements were not slowed down by the injury, dodging and moving, stabbing and chopping, every move showed the heroic style, and every shot would leave a wound on the little spider monster.
After a few rounds, the little spider monsters realized the power of Sanjiu, and no longer rashly attacked, they turned their heads in the direction of me and the big spider monster, and laughed at the big spider monster, and the big spider monster was cut off by me with another claw, and was pacing back and forth in a hurry at the entrance of the hole where I was hiding, and immediately turned back two of the same laughs.
Of course, I wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this was just laughter, as you can see from the tacit cooperation they have when hunting, they know how to communicate and communicate with each other!
Sure enough, the little spider monster quickly withdrew after receiving a response from the big spider monster, not seeing the unending attitude of Fang Cai when he was fighting.
I thought to myself, should they go back and move the rescuers? How many humanoid spiders are there? We can't deal with five of them, and we'll have to deal with one more team!
Sanjiu didn't care about the little spider monster who evacuated, he ran directly towards me, and I saw him bending down halfway to pick up something, covered in colorful slime, and I couldn't tell what it was.
He didn't hesitate to take it into his arms, and I was disgusted to watch, but he never did anything superfluous, knowing that it should work for him.
When he ran closer, the big spider monster spit out three cobwebs in a row to him, all of which he deftly avoided, and the annoyed and angry big spider monster raised his head to the sky and let out a long scream, saying that it was not accurate, it was more like the harsh noise caused by the microphone being too close to the speaker when he went to KTV to sing.
I hurriedly covered my ears, Sanjiu took advantage of the noise of the big spider monster to pull me out of the low hole, his face turned white, I have never seen him look like a great enemy, and now I have no bottom in my heart when I see his expression.
I was run with his life, but I still have the severed limbs of the big spider monster stuck in my legs, not to mention running fast, even walking slowly is hard, not to mention that the wound is still bleeding!
Sanjiu found out about this, he didn't say a word, picked me up and continued to run, I looked back at the back of us, the big spider monster had actually changed.
It has a bloody eye on its forehead, which looks very familiar, and two pairs of forelimbs have been born under the original severed limbs, and its cyan skin has become dark, it is simply an upgraded and strengthened version of the spider monster!
I also noticed that its wounds were no longer bleeding, and such deep wounds could heal in a short time, no wonder Sanjiu had no intention of fighting, if we continued to fight, we had no chance of winning at all.
The speed of the transformed big spider monster is much faster than before, if Sanjiu escapes by himself, it will not be a problem to get rid of it, and now he is holding my big burden, slowing down his speed, I watched the big spider monster chase closer and closer, knowing that none of us can run away if it goes on like this.
"Put me down, you go!" My tone is not unswerving.
But Sanjiu didn't pay attention to me at all, his face was like a stone carving, his lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were looking ahead, and he didn't even give me a corner of his eye. I said it three times in a row, and he didn't hear it, and I was about to take action, when he suddenly said, "Shut up! Look ahead. ”
My head kept going backwards, and he yelled at him and twisted it forward, I don't know what his eyesight was, anyway, I didn't see anything, the flashlight on my belt, it was a miracle that it hadn't been scrapped after this toss, but its light was already very faint, and I could barely see a large body of water not far away.
It turned out to be an underground lake! This means that whether it's a spider or a monster, as long as it can't swim, we're saved!
When the big spider monster saw us running into the water, it let out an unwilling roar and walked around the lake, but did not dare to go into the water.
I had a leg injury that made it difficult for me to paddle, so Sanjiu held my upper body and swam me to the middle of the lake, where the underground water was cold and biting, and after a while I was shivering and my teeth chattered. If the big spider monster stays on the shore for half an hour, I'm afraid I'll die of blood loss or hypothermia without using it.
"The last time Wu Feng and I met vampire spiders, they obviously didn't exist when I didn't exist, isn't this thing a vampire spider?" I distract myself by talking.
"Vampire spiders do treat you like air, because they don't eat dead things; And this thing used to be a human being, cultivating secret arts, and liking food with dead air. Same as parasitic corpses. ”
"What? It's human! I was so stunned that I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
"You can think of it as the product of an ancient gene fusion experiment."
"That'...... It's also a secret technique recorded in the autopsy? "I remember him saying that the ghouls and my corpse puppets are one of the secret techniques in autopsy.
Sanjiu nodded, and I said again, "Anyway, we have to find a way to get out of here, or I won't last long." ”
"It has just used the forbidden technique to induce its body to reach its limit, and this state will not last long, so we will wait for it to run out of oil and light before going ashore."
"But I've been bleeding, I'm ......" I choked suddenly, trying to say I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then, but the words came to my lips and I swallowed them back into my stomach, I didn't want to be so weak in the face of death.
When I was sure that my voice would not have a trill, I said my last words to him in a mocking tone: "For everyone's sake, remember to bury me deeper, and it is better to use a big stone to make it stronger, and don't let any wild beast dig me out." ”
I was losing consciousness, my mouth was dry, and my clear consciousness was gradually moving away from me, and if he hadn't supported me from behind, I might have sunk into the lake.
Death approached me silently, I had heard that some people who were in shock would have the wonderful experience of being in heaven, I don't know if I count now, anyway, my heart is at peace, maybe someone is with me, or maybe I decided to compromise with fate.
"You're not going to die." Sanjiu's voice came to my ears from afar, but there was still no trace of temperature, as cold as the lake.
I was a little disappointed, thinking that we were at least companions, and that he should have felt a little sorry and sad for my death, but unfortunately, I thought highly of myself.
My body was like a lead-filled iron ball, extremely heavy, my eyelids gradually couldn't open, and I heard Sanjiu calling my name again.
With what little consciousness was left, no, it wasn't my name, and I struggled to open my eyes, and the head of a woman with silver needles in her eyes was pressed face to face with me.
