Chapter 7: The Knight in Darkness (2)

As the knights stepped into the depths of the forest, the wind began to grow treacherous.

A day without sunlight is more terrible than a night with infinite wailing.

Butos's palms oozed sweat, making the handle of the dagger a little slippery.

"Be careful, there's something wrong here. Learway frowned.

Indeed, everything here seems to be a slight deviation from the old Butos's account: the stream, as if it no longer exists. The dry riverbed, the pebbles as white as bones, the half-dried silt, and the rotten tree trunks that stuck in the middle of the riverbed and covered everything behind them......

"Oh my God, where the hell did Bahirug go to find water?" Alvin exclaimed, it didn't look like a place where there would be water at all, but soon, Alvin regained his composure and began to cautiously and carefully obtain all the information he could.

"There's the sound of running water...... Butos said suddenly in a whisper.

Lilway looked down at Butos, "Can you confirm it?"

Butos nodded: "Yes, it should be in that direction." With his tiny fingers, Butos pointed behind the trunk of the great rotten tree that had fallen on the riverbed.

"Wait, why can't we hear it?" Alvin seemed a little overcautious, but it was still necessary at this juncture.

"The child's hearing is far better than ours, and besides, he is a member of the Butos family" Perhaps out of admiration and respect for old Butos, Lilwe never doubted the words of little Butos.

"If the Knight Bahirug is here, then he will look for water nearby" Lilwe looked around and continued: "Obviously, there is no water in the place where you can see with both eyes, and if you continue to search, Bahirug will go over this large tree trunk. ”

"We can't hear it, but Butos can hear the sound of running water, which means that the water source is ......"

"Wait a minute, Chief Knight Learway...... I ......" Butos looked at Lilwei and hesitated: "I don't seem to be hearing the sound of running water......"

The knights were all staring at Butos, and at the moment, Butos's message was not without value to them.

"That'...... It's like a dripping sound......"

The knights' expressions became serious at the same moment.

And at this moment, a huge drop of water fell from the top of the heads of the knights, and if it were more accurate to describe it, it was an incomparably viscous droplet, or rather, a liquid like saliva......

Everyone quickly raised their heads, and in front of everyone, it was an unusually large guy.

"Oh my God, how could there be such a big spider ......," Alvin exclaimed.

"Weapons on alert!" Lilwi yelled.

The giant spider slammed down.

Although the knights took up their weapons, the formation was overwhelmed in an instant.

Lilwei jerked the frightened Butos away, avoiding the sharp spider legs.

The rest of the knights formed a new formation in the moment after the formation collapsed, entangled with the giant spider.

"Butos, Butos!" Lilwi called back Butos's lost soul.

Butos's face was extremely pale, he was just a young child, and he could not face such a powerful threat head-on.

"Butos, look at me!" Lilwei grasped Butos' shoulders with a strong hand. At the moment, the other knights were still fighting, and he had to join them.

Lilwei picked up the dagger that had fallen to the side and shoved it into Butos's hand.

"Butos, hold on to your courage!" Lilwe's gaze was resolute and resolute, "I used it to kill a wild wolf when I was twelve. ”

Butos's lips still twitched.

"You have the blood of old Butos in your veins, it's not like you can't do anything!" Lilwe yelled at Butos with one last reassurance, he had to fight now.

Learway slammed to his feet, drew his steel sword with lightning speed, and joined the battle line with the other warriors.

"I have the blood of old Butos in my veins...... What can I do......" Butos' gaze was frightened and glazed.

The knights' battle with the giant spider terrifies Butos. Roll under the fangs and claws of the spiders and fight back with your shield sword to stay in formation with the most agile movements...... Butos couldn't do it, he knew he couldn't do it at all.

The knights of Lilway are far better than the wolves without a leader.

The knights gradually gained the upper hand, but one of the knights accidentally tripped over a branch under his feet while moving, and suddenly fell to the ground, and the sword in his hand was thrown high and nailed to the trunk of a nearby tree.

The giant spider seized the opportunity and launched a bite at the fallen knight.

Learway gritted his teeth and threw the sword in his hand sharply.

"Catch!

Brandt, who fell, grabbed the sword in the air and blocked it in front of him.

The giant spider's fangs sparked with its sword, saliva dripping down its filthy fangs......

When Butos saw Brandt fall, his sword flying up and nailed to the tree, Butos was surprised to find something higher up - a huge cocoon.

The knights adjusted their formation and continued to fight the giant spiders.

Butos stared at the cocoon: "This is ...... Oh my God! This is the Bashirug Knight!"

Butos exclaimed.

The white cocoon had a faint metallic sheen, and that luster came from the armor of the official Bashiluq.

Butos shook the dagger that Lilville had given him.

"Yes, Butos! You can do it! You have your grandfather's blood in your veins!" Butos cheered himself up, and then, with the dagger in his hand, he clung to the trunk of the tree, and little by little crawled towards the bound Bashilug.

The fierce battle continues.

The knights didn't get the upper hand, and the giant spiders didn't hurt the knights in the slightest.

Little by little, Butos approached Bahirug.

When Butos climbed up to Brandt's sword pinned to the trunk, Butos looked down: Lilvay had only a shield in his hand, Alvin was wielding the sword, and Brandt was struggling with a spider's leg......

Butos clamped his legs to the branch and held his balance with one hand before attempting to draw his sword with the other.

But Butos's strength was too small......

Butos was right above the giant spider, its huge, ugly body dancing wildly, and the knights could be injured with every swing of their legs.

Butos gritted his teeth and stretched out his other hand, drawing the long sword with both hands.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Butos's forehead.

At one point in Butos's struggle, the sword was slammed out.

Butos's body nearly lost its balance on the branch and fell.

"You ugly fellow......" Butos steadied himself, sword in both hands.

"This is Butos' first blow!" Butos roared, smashing his sword in the direction of the giant spider with both hands.

The blade was so sharp that it plunged straight into the giant spider's back, and dark green venom flew out. The knights avoided cautiously and swiftly.

The giant spider roared in anger, and the forest trembled at that moment.

Lilwe looked towards the source of this flying sword, and when Lilway saw Butos, Lilwe's eyes were not relieved at all, but extremely worried.

"Be careful! Butos!" yelled Lilwe.

Butos looked around, and everything in front of him made Butos feel terrified.

Swarms of spiders with big heads were crawling along the trunk of the tree towards Butos.

And at this moment, the giant spider began to attack frantically again.

Learway and the knights are once again locked in a fierce battle, and no one can get out, no one can help the brave little Butos.
