Chapter 405 (Ancient Seal 5)

Vatican, Holy City, Inquisition, End of the Dungeon.

Hearing this, Cartel's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Really! Master Shi Dina, what is the solution? ”

Shi Dina smiled silently, but flipped it with one hand, and a small dark green box the size of a palm appeared in her hand. The style of the box looks like a finely crafted jewelry box with delicate patterns engraved on it.

"What is this?" Cartel looked at the locket in Shi Dina's hand and asked with some curiosity.

Facing the cartel's question, Shi Dina smiled faintly and said, "This is a space-type treasure, which forms a small piece of heaven and earth in it, and can raise its own magical beasts. As she spoke, she gently opened the lid of the box, and then with a movement of her mind, countless dense fiery red spiders swarmed out of it. I really don't know how many such spiders are raised in that space.

Looking at the dense spiders the size of thumbs that kept crawling out of small boxes, the cartel couldn't help but ask, "Master Shi Dina, what kind of spiders are these?" What skills do they have? ”

"These are first-class demonic beasts, produced in the magical forest of the cultivation realm, called the Demon Devouring Spider. Their combat power is very average, but they have a very special talent, that is, devouring demons. To put it simply, they are devouring mana, and as long as there are enough of them, they can devour almost any seal or magic circle. Even the monks' defensive formations could devour them if there were enough of them. Shi Dina explained with a smile.

"What! How can they devour magic? Doesn't that mean that if there are countless such spiders and they are released at once, even god-level powerhouses will be devoured by them. Cartel looked at the endless stream of spider monsters, subconsciously took a step back, and said with some horror.

"Hahahaha, how can there be such an exaggeration, these little things can't fly. Don't say it's a god-level powerhouse, even if it's an ordinary flying demonic beast, they can't deal with it. But if you put a god-level powerhouse. Trapped in a suitable space, and then place enough Devouring Spiders in it. Then, as you said, it may be possible to devour a god-level powerhouse. It's just that this is only theoretical speculation, as far as I know. There has never been a precedent like this in history. Shi Dina said with a chuckle, and then her eyes suddenly lit up, and her gaze turned to the seal and said, "Look, it has an effect!" ”

Hearing this, the cartel immediately followed Shi Dina's gaze. Sure enough, I saw those thumb-sized red spiders, which had already crawled all over the stone wall at this time. It's just that at this time, except for the crawling sound of spiders crawling, there is no sound of gnawing on things.

Driven by curiosity, the cartel immediately watched. I saw that those little spiders did not directly eat the seal, but released spider silk from their abdomen, and all of them connected it to the huge seal. Immediately after that, the golden light on the seal turned into wisps of undetectable golden light, which went up retrograde along those spider silks, and was continuously absorbed into their bodies by those little spiders. After a short time, I saw that some small spiders stopped absorbing the golden light flow. Xuan even retrieved the spider silk that had adhered to the seal.

The next interesting scene happened, and they kept spitting out spider silk from their abdomen, but this time the spider silk they spit out did not adhere to the seal, but wrapped themselves tightly. After a while, thumb-sized silk cocoons were formed, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing such a strange scene, Cartel couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Shi Dina, what is going on?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the silk cocoons that had fallen to the ground.

Seeing this, Shi Dina smiled slightly: "Those little things you saw are because they have swallowed enough energy, and now they are starting to form cocoons. ”

"Cocooning! Could it be that they are about to advance to a second-order demonic beast? Cartel asked, somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, Shi Dina shook her head and sighed helplessly: "Alas. You guessed it wrong, the Demon Eater Spider is a magical beast that cannot be advanced. After they form cocoons, they enter the mature stage, and then they start mating and reproducing. After mating, the female eats the male and then gives birth to a baby spider in her body. Wait for the spider to develop to a certain stage. It will bite through the body of the female spider and then eat the corpse of the female spider. Each pair of demon-eating spiders can give birth to two hundred to three hundred offspring, and they can grow and reproduce quickly as long as they have enough energy. They are a catastrophe in the Enchanted Forest, and we regularly hunt down some of the Demon Eater Spider colonies to control their numbers. If they were allowed to continue to grow uncontrollably, sooner or later they would become a catastrophe in the cultivation realm. ”

"Such a dangerous thing. Why not exterminate them completely? Keep them all the time, it's not like a time bomb! Cartel asked, puzzled, if he thought it would be better to kill such a dangerous thing earlier.

"Hunt clean! Hahahaha, who would be willing to hunt down these cute little things, no one would want to do that. Shi Dina laughed.

"Why is that?" Cartel asked, puzzled. But in his heart at this time, he was thinking, "Cute! I don't think these things are cute, and a half-human, half-spider monster like you would think they're cute. ”

Shi Dina naturally didn't know what he thought in his heart, so he saw Shi Dina smile and explained: "That's because these little things are natural magic supplements, as long as their bodies are ground up and their bodily fluids are filtered out before they are completely mature, they are the best magic supplements." The bodily fluids of ten Demon Devouring Spiders can replenish all the magic power of a Level 6 mage. You say they have such an effect, so who would be willing to kill them all? ”

After listening to Shi Dina's explanation, the cartel's eyes when he looked at those devouring spiders suddenly changed. It was a gaze full of greed, **, longing, and impulsiveness. But after a while, his eyes returned to clarity, although his strength was stronger than Shi Dina, but Shi Dina's deep background was known to him. He didn't want to be chased and killed by a god-level powerhouse and a top-level master of the Holy Domain, so the newly emerging desire to kill people and seize treasures was suddenly snuffed out by him. His emotional changes were seen by Shi Dina, but Shi Dina just pouted in her heart and didn't break anything. She knew very well in her heart that this guy in front of her would never dare to provoke herself, because his background was enough to make him dare not act rashly.

Peeking at Shi Dina beside her, seeing that her face didn't seem to show any unusual look, the cartel couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. In order to hide his undivided thoughts just now, I saw him smile slightly, showing a look of great curiosity and asking, "Master Shi Dina, I want to ask, why can't we wait for these demon devouring spiders to mature before extracting the bodily fluids in their bodies?" Is it because they are afraid that it will affect their reproduction? ”

Seeing his question, Shi Dina smiled faintly and explained: "Naturally, I am not afraid of affecting their reproduction, if I am afraid of affecting their reproduction, then why do I need to hunt and kill them?" The reason why this is so is because once they mature, most of the magic essence in the male spider's body will be condensed into their essence. In the middle of the children, most of the magic essence in the female spider's body is condensed into their eggs. Sub-middle. Once this happens, the amount of mana in their bodily fluids will be minimal, and the value of extracting the mana potion will be lost. Think about it, since they have lost the value of that application, who would do such a thing that does not outweigh the benefits? ”

Shi Dina bites the four words 'gains outweigh losses' very hard! As if reminding the cartel of something, the cartel suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and just when he was a little at a loss, he saw Stoke hurriedly running from outside and said: "Cartel, Hopkinson has found the entrance to the Holy See's vault!" ”

"What! How could they have found it so quickly, this thing is simply unbelievable? Cartel frowned, a little incredulous.

"Humph! It's not surprising that Hopkinson's guy actually brought a complete set of spectral fluoroscopy scanning equipment this time, and took a detector to scan the world indiscriminately. It turned out that he had found the entrance to the vault, which was shit luck. Stoke pouted, a little dismayed.

"Spectral fluoroscopy scanning equipment! It's really thanks to Hopkinson that he came up with the idea that he even used this kind of geological exploration equipment. Where did that guy find the entrance to the vault, and has he managed to enter it now? The cartel asked with a nonchalant expression, as if he didn't seem to care much about it.

"They found an underground tunnel beneath a public restroom, and they were the result of a joint investigation by their masters of mechanism, formation, builder, alchemist, geology, and high-tech equipment. In the end, it was concluded that the possibility that the underground passage was a secret treasure house of the Holy See was as high as more than ninety-five percent. It's just that they haven't found a way to get in there yet, and they're still debating at this time? Cartel, what do you think we should do now? Stoke asked with a serious expression.

"Now that the entrance to the vault has been found, we can't devote all our energy to it anymore." Saying that, the cartel looked at Mekoreyin and said, "Mekoreyin, you accompany Master Shi Dina to continue the work here, no matter what the master asks, you have to do everything you can to complete it." ”

"Yes! Lord Cartel. Seeing Mecorley nodding in agreement, Cartel nodded with satisfaction, and then exchanged a few polite words with Shi Dina, and then hurried to Hopkinson with Stoker!
