Chapter 384: A Narrow Road Encounter
Bai Bei scurried down the hatch to the entrance of the next floor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The flagship has five floors, and the map structure has been firmly remembered by Bai Bei as early as the first time he saw it. After parting ways with Zhuang Dusk, he can't wait to explore the past in the chosen place. The glow stick in the old hunter's hand emitted a cold light, and ghostly fire moved quickly through the corridor. As he ran, he carefully observed the size of the light—the cane had a bicane-like effect, indicating the location of the artifacts of primeval technology in terms of the amount of light. But perhaps because he was too close to the treasure and the accuracy of the glow stick was not enough, the light of the cane had not even changed in the slightest since he got on the boat.
It seems that this is only a matter of luck, he thought silently. The space inside the flagship is not large, even if you look for it one by one, you can always find it, but Zhuang Dui's existence is like a thorn in his back, and he must get the goal of this trip in his hands before the other party.
Jumping all the way down the third floor of the cabin, he slashed the rusty ladder to shreds, and although he knew that it would not stop the smiling young man in the slightest, he still had a mentality that talk was better than nothing. Bai Bei's waist sank and landed on the hard plank. It was already the lowest level, and the light was even more dim than the upper floors, barely visible, and the air was filthy and irritating, with an irritating and dull aura, and perhaps half of the cabin was already sinking below the ground. However, the ceiling here is much higher than the upper floor, where space is tight, and the glow of the glow sticks can't even easily cover the ceiling. And because the ship has a pointed bottom, there is a layer of bucket cabins below the floor with heavy objects such as sand and gravel, and the space is multiplied. This floor alone contains more than half of the various types of cargo of the entire flagship, and it takes a lot of work to find a treasure of unknown shape and size. Bai Bei recognized the direction and walked towards the cabin closest to him.
Before he had walked a few meters, the man in white felt something strange. Hunters who have been immersed in the hunting ground for many years can sometimes discern the existence of danger by intuition alone. He paused, cautiously turning off the glow stick in his hand, and a faint light glowed from one corner of the wall in the darkness. Bai Bei cautiously approached, stretched out his hand, only to feel a wet and cold wind from the swamp pouring into the cabin, it turned out that the bulkhead had cracked here. However, there were no signs of flooding on the nearby floors and walls, and it is estimated that the crack appeared after the stranding.
The crack in the wall of the ship was several feet long, and at its widest point it was only the size of two fists side by side, but it was a clear view of the outside and a little sunlight could shine in. At the edge of the crack are patches of blue moss and unnamed fungi growing along the wood. Bai Bei fumbled around, only to end up with a slippery palm, nothing abnormal, but the sense of danger in his heart still lingered. The old hunter looked left and right, and along the way, there was not even a human skeleton in the ship, let alone a living thing, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, attributing all the suspicions to Zhuang Dusk, who was rampant on his own path of exploration.
"Click", the sound of water droplets dripping sounded from not far away, and the water droplets fell to the ground, rolling in the dust, and rolled to Bai Bei's feet. The masked man slowly squatted down, his fingers subconsciously crushing a drop of water.
"Shhh
In the dim cold light, Bai Bei still found them.
Overhead, on a narrow ceiling, there were countless small spiders, the size of bowls, hanging upside down under the ceiling, crawling to and fro with each other. The spider swarm spread almost every inch of the ceiling as far as the light could reach, and the milky white slime used to hold the body in place was smeared everywhere, and this slime blocked the sound of the monster's arthropods rubbing against the plank, so that Bai Bei, who was walking below, was unaware until this moment.
Bai Bei hurriedly wanted to cover the light, but his hand stopped suddenly, these little spiders did not move under the stimulation of the cold light, perhaps because they lived in a dark environment all year round and their eyesight deteriorated seriously. But they may have been extremely sensitive to sound and vibration, and fortunately they didn't make any noise as they walked all the way, otherwise with the usual ferocity of the hacking spiders, the colony that greeted them would not be as quiet as it is now.
"A mutant of the Hacking Spider...... These guys can really survive in any environment. Bai Bei thought to himself. A small patch of moss and fungi could feed a small group of mosses and fungi from a crack in the cabin. Although the hacking spiders that live here are dozens of times smaller than the giant spiders commonly found in the swamp, their size is still too big for the cracks in the cabin, and perhaps this group of monsters has never stepped out of the bilge in their lives. Sunlight, rare plants and spiders form a simple and fragile ecology in this small cabin, which is not a small miracle.
Bai Bei held his breath and froze his movements, acting more cautiously, for fear that his breathing and walking steps would attract their attention. Although these small spiders are not large, their poison is not reduced compared to ordinary hunting spiders, but is more intense. The water droplets just now are corrosive slime dripping from the mouthparts of which monster, the hunter's fingers that have touched the venom have lost consciousness at this moment, along with the roots of the fingers, and there are sixty or seventy adult hacking spiders under the roof, if they are swarmed, even Bai Bei thinks that he will collapse here.
He looked around, and secretly said that it was better not to mess with these sexually vicious little guys for the time being, and to explore the other warehouses first, and then it was not too late to make plans. The plan was decided, and the white-clothed hunter slowly retreated along the same path, intending to leave.
Sudden mutations.
A silver-gray prop ball shot out from the blind corner of Bai Bei's vision, rapidly dilating in the pupils under the hunter's mask. Bai Bei used his cane to cover his head and face, but found that the prop ball was not coming towards him, but flying diagonally upward. After a brief moment of stunnedness, the prop exploded in the air, inspiring the surrounding air into twisted ripples in the cold light.
"No!" The man in white, who had been silent for a long time, cried out.
"Hum!" The power of sonic boom jade is undoubtedly displayed in a confined space, and the keen sense of hearing, with the props specially created for it, has become the biggest drawback. The hacking spiders on the ceiling were attacked by the sound wave at first glance, their minds were blank, their joints were sore, and they crackled and let go of their legs and feet holding the plank, and fell towards the top of Bai Bei's head.
The man in white secretly screamed that it was not good, put his cane on his waist with his backhand, and quickly pulled out the knife on his back, and under the flash of the knife, he smashed several spiders in front of him in the air, and his body retreated more quickly into the distance.
Before Bai Bei could withdraw from the area where the spider group was entrenched, a black shadow could not wait to rush out of the oblique thorn, and the person who came was a hacking spider who did not avoid falling at all, and attacked Bai Bei straight towards Bai Bei with the hunting sound of the cloak behind him. The masked man's heart sank, and his rich combat experience played a role, and the narrow sword crossed his chest at the extreme speed, stubbornly blocking the heavy blow of the comer.
The two of them stared at each other under the fluorescence, and the other was also wearing a fully encircled battle armor, and only one pair of eyes were half-squinting at him through the grille of the face armor.
"Is that you?" Bai Bei's voice was vague and authentic.
He recognized the comer's weapon.
It's a gun.
