Chapter 361: Physical Cobwebs
After Arno left, some small thoughts popped up in Raymond's mind from time to time, and he couldn't help but wonder who the so-called "big man" sent by the world government would be.
He vaguely felt that this "big hot thing" came to join in the fun at this time, and I am afraid the purpose is not simple.
Now that the situation in the Giant Nation seems to have roughly settled, the chief of the "Burning Thorn Tribe", Kron, seems to be firmly on the throne, but in fact, there are also undercurrents within the major tribes of the Giant Clan.
Before, the "King of Giants" Uli was injured too weirdly, and the "North Sea Monster" millions of miles away came to Gafatron inexplicably, which was already full of weirdness.
That former Giant King Uli is a man of great talent, otherwise he would not be able to convince all the five tribes of giants. If he didn't leave a back hand at all, just watching the giant clan fall into the control of the world government step by step, it obviously didn't fit his personality.
In this country of giants, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.
However, after all, it is a game of major forces, and a little pirate like Raymond can't intervene for the time being.
He thought about it for a while, but to no avail, he didn't think about it again.
.......
After a few hours of repairing on the Black Mill Town, the Spectre continued their adventure and headed deeper into the mines.
In the game, the Bloody Monastery is one of the most dangerous maps on the first floor of the dungeon.
If Raymond remembers correctly, the "Bronze Key" was buried in the ashes of the fireplace in the main hall of the monastery. If he wanted to get it, he had to go deep into that little town.
And it just so happened that there was a large monster lair in that place, and there was a 7th-order golden boss "Spider Queen" entrenched in the monastery.
This monastery map used to be a nightmare for Wasteland players, and all kinds of poisonous spiders made it clear who had to break in. Human adventurers are no different from flies in the eyes of giant spiders that look like calves.
In fact, it is, like this scene in front of you.
As the "Ghost Regiment" walked around, they gradually noticed that some huge white cobwebs appeared on the rock walls around the mine.
suddenly
Thor watched as he looked at a humanoid object hanging like a fruit in the cobwebs high up.
"Captain..."
He pointed to the thing and asked, "How do I think that thing wrapped in a spider's web is a bit like a person?" ”
"yes... You read that right, it was indeed a person. ”
Raymond looked up, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Seeing the corpse, he muttered again, "It looks like someone has come one step ahead of us." ”
Now that the news of this dungeon has spread, there have been thousands of "robbery holes" outside the city of Gafatlon, and someone has arrived first, and it has not surprised him much, and even seeing this corpse is expected.
This "bloody monastery" is the territory of the ghost-faced spiders, and the habits of these monsters are not clear, and the people who break in rashly are just the reserve food of these big spiders.
"It's... Adventurers who arrived before us? ”
Hearing Raymond say this, a strange expression appeared on everyone's faces.
It's okay not to look at it, but if you look closely, there are quite a few corpses hanging in the depths of those cobwebs.
Although it is too normal for people to die dangerously, there are something like "fruits" hanging on the top of the head, which always makes people feel a feeling of swishing behind their backs.
"This should be the nest of the 'ghost-faced spiders', they will hang their prey for dozens of kilometers in the nest for storage, and there will definitely be more inside."
Raymond said, ripping a cobweb from the cliff and pinching it in his hand.
The cobwebs with a thickness of two or three millimeters are very light to the touch, unusually sticky, and full of toughness, like a hand of melted maltose. The spider web man is full of elasticity and can pull it for a long time. It's hard to break down. And when I let it go, it was all glued again...
After trying to shake it off, Raymond could only rub the cobwebs off the wall, and sighed in his heart: "Tsk... It's exactly the same, this cobweb is still so disgusting. ”
This is also the deadliest point of this monster lair.
In the game, players are not afraid of many monsters.
No matter how many monsters there are, it is impossible to resurrect the player's opponent. Moreover, the boss of this spider's lair is only seventh-order gold, and if you really want to push it, it is not difficult to get a sea of people certificate.
But the reason why this monastery is one of the most difficult monsters to overcome on the first floor of the dungeon is that it is difficult to deal with the slimy cobwebs.
A spider sprays cobwebs at you, but it's easy to dodge. But hundreds of heads spray at you together, and the overwhelming cobwebs can "control people to death" in minutes, or the range is controlled.
Sprayed on the body, it was immediately pulled and hung up like a net, sticking to the feet as if falling into a swamp, and the more you struggled, the tighter it became.
This is also the origin of the disgusting control skill "Spider Web" of the French Transcendent.
This "Bloody Abbey" quest was a nightmare for players for a long time in the game.
It wasn't until the player cleared the second floor of the dungeon and found clues about monsters in the library that they found a way to restrain them.
It turns out that this "ghost-faced spider" is a common kind of crypt creature in ancient mines, and dwarves often encounter them when mining, so to deal with this nasty cobweb, they have configured a "dissolving potion", as if washing off the paint with gasoline, and can easily dispose of these sticky cobwebs.
Thinking of this, Raymond warned everyone: "Be careful not to get trapped in cobwebs, in case you get caught, use the 'dissolving potion' I gave everyone..."
Colin on the side raised the mechanical arm in his hand and asked, "Commander, do you need me to burn these cobwebs with a flamespray gun?" Burn it all the way, and probably not much fuel will be wasted. ”
This is the first reaction of a normal person, spiders are afraid of flames.
No matter how many cobwebs there are, they can be solved with a single flame burn.
It's also labor-saving.
But... This ghost-faced spider's web can't be done like that!
"Don't use fire..."
Raymond shook his head and explained, "This cobweb can't be burned with fire, otherwise it will produce a colorless and odorless hallucinogenic toxin. Many people actually lost their lives inexplicably without seeing the 'ghost-faced spider', in fact, because of this. ”
"Oh... I see. ”
"It's good that the captain said it in advance, otherwise I would have almost caught fire."
"I almost fell victim to those demon beasts..."
Hearing popular science, everyone nodded in unison, and they all showed a hint of fear.
If there was no captain who knew everything, they would have broken in so rashly, and they were afraid that they would suffer a big loss.
At this time,
Lulu said solemnly: "Captain... The characteristics of the 'ghost-faced spider' you mentioned, I seem to have seen some incomplete introductions in the paleontological illustrated. But this creature... It's been extinct for countless years. ”
Nicole on the side asked with a smile, "Captain, you can't see it in the Adventurer's Encyclopedia again, right?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest son really believed it.
With a thirsty expression on his face, he asked urgently, "Captain, which version of the Adventurer's Encyclopedia are you reading, and why are you so detailed?" Can you tell me about it?"
“...”
Raymond rolled his eyes, not sure how to explain.
He decisively offered a killer idea, saying: "Once upon a time, I met a 'troubadour' who showed me a monster book..."
Anna knocked Raymond's head and smiled at the eldest son, "Let's go, Lulu, don't listen to the captain's nonsense..."
"Hahaha..."
Others smiled.
......
Seeing the cobwebs, Raymond knew that he was not far from his destination.
Sure enough, after all the members of the "Ghost Group" killed a few more lonely ghost-faced spiders, they came to a larger cave space.
It is a dense complex of buildings, much more elaborate than the previous dwarven towns.
Obviously, this is a dwarven city.
The mine is one or two hundred meters high, and the huge load-bearing pillars hugged by several people are carved with some mythological reliefs, which have fallen into disrepair and have collapsed several times. The frescoes on the rock walls have been blurred, leaving only a patch of colorful color.
The town is built on the rock wall of the pit, and at the top stands a majestic castle surrounded by battlements. The style of the castle is peculiar, the small domed tower is very eye-catching, and the main hall is mottled with gold paint, which looks like it gives people a sense of sacred solemnity.
"It's finally here..."
Raymond knew that it was the "Bloody Monastery".
However, at this moment, all the buildings in the city are covered with white cobwebs, and it looks like the entire town is covered in a thick layer of snow.
"Wow... We seem to be lucky, but we actually met a dwarven city again! ”
"Look! There's also an old castle there..."
"Statues of gods carved on the rock wall next to the castle... It seems to be Lokan Khan, the god of truth and logic believed by the dwarves, and it is supposed to be a monastery. ”
"I've read in ancient books that the intelligent races of ancient civilizations had their own gods and goddesses, and they would do everything they could to support the gods... Traditional places of worship such as monasteries are home to countless treasures from within the clan. ”
"The castle can't be pure gold, is it?"
"How is it possible, I think it's probably just a gold paint brush..."
“...”
The "Ghost Band" were very happy to find out that they had found another large building.
"Be careful, everyone, someone's coming."
At this time, Raymond raised his eyebrows and looked somewhere in the darkness.
In his domineering perception, he found that someone had already arrived one step ahead of them.
Sure enough,
As soon as they tried to go inside, the Assassins in charge of the guard had already spotted them and came out to intercept them.
The assassin looked at Raymond's outfit and asked cautiously, "Are you from the 'Ghost Pirates'?" ”
The "Ghost Troupe" has recently become very famous in Gafatlon, and it is not surprising that the other party knows them.
"Yes!"
Anna replied.
Everyone looked at the thieves with wary eyes.
This kind of underground ruins is more dangerous than encountering monsters when encountering other adventurers, and there may be a big battle to kill people and sell goods.
The assassin's hand had been on the dagger at his waist, faintly threatening, and said, "You go somewhere else, this is the place where our 'Green Dragon Pirates' first discovered, and you are not welcome." ”
The "Green Dragon Pirates" is also a well-known large-scale pirate group in this sea area, with thousands of crew members and many masters in the group. And their leader is a sea thief with a bounty of 786 million, Sequence 1 [Green Dragon] Doto Tisis.
They have the confidence to "charter the venue", but it is reasonable.
Raymond raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh?" You've got a charter."
The monastery must have been a visit, and he was going to give it up so easily.
Assassin: "Yes! ”
"Oh..."
Raymond looked at the slight fire in the city from a distance, and an imperceptible evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spread his hands: "Okay, since you came first, then you can explore first." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and beckoned to the rest of the "Ghost Regiment" and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here." ”
Although Anna and the others were a little unhappy, they didn't say much when they saw that their captain had spoken, and they just left.
The assassins were also a little surprised to see that Raymond had really left.
Thinking that there might be some conflict, they were trying to inform the large army inside.
When they saw the people leaving, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Tsk... That's it! But it's also trouble-free, and you don't even need to negotiate. The treasures in the city are all our 'Green Dragon Regiment'. ”
"Cut~ What 'ghost pirates', I don't think that's it. There is also a reward of more than 100 million, and when I heard the name of my 'Green Dragon Pirates', I didn't even dare to make a noise. ”
"I don't think that [ghost] Raymond is very powerful, and it is only more than 200 million bounties, which is much worse than our captain..."
“...”
......
The people of the "Ghost Regiment" have gone far and have gone beyond the surveillance range of the thieves of the "Green Dragon Pirates".
It was not easy to find such a completed city, and everyone felt a little unhappy to give up like this.
As he walked, Thor felt a little aggrieved in his heart, so he said, "Captain, are we really going to give up this small city?" Let's see that there should be a lot of treasures inside... What's more, this ruins are borderlands in the first place, and we have found them with great difficulty, so why did those guys drive us away? ”
Anna also raised her eyebrows and said, "yes." According to the rules, we can negotiate with them and discuss the distribution..."
"Give up? No... I don't have that intention. ”
Raymond shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Since they want to charter the venue, let them charter it first... We'll wait and go. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Everyone was a little puzzled and looked at Raymond one after another.
"There are tens of thousands of 'ghost-faced spiders' in that city, and the one or two thousand people in the 'Green Dragon Pirates' are not enough for the spiders. If they dare to light a fire in the city, it will be a matter of time before they are destroyed..."
Raymond had a determined expression on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's rest first, wait a few hours, and it should be about the same." ”
"Well, I think... It may not be more than a few hours. ”
At this time, Lulu also pointed to a test tube in his hand and said, "There are so many cobwebs in that city, and without the captain's 'dissolving potion', they will definitely use torches to burn..."
Just now, when Raymond said that burning cobwebs would produce psychedelic toxins, the eldest son took some samples and did a burning test.
Now the preliminary analysis results of the miniature instrument have also come out, confirming that Raymond's judgment is correct.
"The data is clear, when the webs burn, do produce a strong hallucinogenic toxin," he said. It is colorless and odorless, and the filtration efficiency of conventional gas masks is not high. If you inhale too much, even high-level transcendents will be hit. A lot of poisonous gas is produced, and probably they won't be able to clean up many spiders, and they will be wiped out..."
"I see..."
Miss Anna, who was a fan of money, dared to think that they had given up a small treasure town, and she was still a little unhappy.
Hearing this now, her pretty face suddenly stretched out again, and she said, "Hmph! Those arrogant and domineering guys deserve to feed the spiders..."
Everyone suddenly felt better, and they all responded: "Yes, let them help us clean up some spiders." ”
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Suddenly, the sound of a fierce battle began.
It seems that in order to confirm the conjecture of Raymond and Lulu,
At this moment, a dense explosion of guns and cannons suddenly came from the mine in the direction of the monastery just now.
"Looks like those guys are already on fire with the spiders..."
Raymond said in a relaxed tone.
He motioned for everyone to sit down and rest, and said, "Let's rest for a while, that city is a nest of ghost-faced spiders, and the more you move, the more monsters will be alarmed... I probably won't have to wait long. ”
"Everyone will take some 'sobering antidote' in a while..."
"Haha, we'll go to that dwarven monastery first..."
“...”
.......
The process of waiting is a bit boring.
suddenly
Raymond looked up at the cobwebs hanging from the rock wall, and a thought crossed his mind.
He tried to poke out with his "spiritual hand".
This sticky cobweb can stick to almost any physical object, but it can't stick to mental power.
Then, the entire cobweb was removed intact without any problems.
"Huh... There are so many of these cobwebs that even high-level transcendents can control, and if you can collect some of them, you might be able to come in handy..."
Raymond's eyes rolled and he placed the cobweb in the system package.
These cobwebs are not easy to preserve, and they will stick together in a pile.
But when this thing is placed in the system package, it becomes the data display of [Cobweb*1].
Seeing this, he immediately realized that this thing was indeed as he expected, and could be stored on top of each other!
A single parcel can hold countless cobwebs without sticking together.
Then as soon as the telekinesis is controlled, the cobwebs can be like "casting fishing nets", and with a "boom", they will go towards the target cover.
Although it is not as sharp as the spiders spray, the effect is similar.
If you really want to fight the enemy, you can spray each other with a wave of head and face, isn't it similar to Spider-Man?
Anna, who was on the side, looked at Raymond's sudden hand, and asked curiously, "Huh... Captain, have you become a spider? Why do you still spray cobwebs? ”
"Haha... I feel like I've discovered a little spell..."
Anyway, it was idle, and after Raymond found out about this little surprise, he happily started the operation of collecting cobwebs.
After a few more shots, the "casting of the net" became more and more proficient. This attempt really allowed him to create a physical version of his "spider web technique"!
[Cobweb*18], [Cobweb*337], [Cobweb*1244]...
Then, in his system package, there are more and more cobwebs...
