Chapter 109: The Strangeness of the Lighthouse

A bitter cold wind blew from the north, and Qing Chi shivered with cold. Even though the season for the game is still autumn, the Dragon's Mouth Cliff is already icy and snowy. Qing Chi put the cold-proof cloak he had just bought on his body, and then he felt a lot warmer. Coming to the sentry tower near the Longkou cliff, Qing Chi looked up at the high lighthouse, in the cloudy sky with the cold wind howling, there was only a warm light. This is where Silver Fox is talking about.

"Hello, citizen, is there anything wrong with coming here?" The guard guarding the guard tower saluted Qing Chi and asked. Since Qingchi is now an honorary citizen of several major cities, the guards here also respect her.

"I'm looking for a veteran named Scott, and I heard he's in the lighthouse over there, aren't you?"

"Oh, yes. But lately, Scott hasn't been down from the lighthouse for a long time. This damn blizzard weather! I'm afraid he has prepared enough food for him, and lo and behold, he lights the lamp every night when it falls. The guard at the watchtower pointed to the lighthouse, "You can cross this road to the lighthouse, and I think he is very happy with you." Oh, I wish I had a glass of thorn wine to refresh me. The guards showed Qing Chi the way and returned to the watchtower.

Qing Chi walked along the path for a while, and finally came to the lighthouse. Heavy snow at the door had almost sealed the gate. The rusty pull ring made a crisp sound, and Qing Chi opened the door and stepped into the lighthouse. Stone stairs spiral up, the first floor lighthouse is a few simple bedrooms, a large kitchen, up the spiral staircase to the rooftop, every night when night falls, Scott will go to the top of the lighthouse to light a lamp.

stepped on the broken empty wine bottle, and the uneasiness in Qing Chi's heart became more and more serious. The floor here is covered with dust, and no one has cleaned it for at least a month. The remnants of the table had gone bad, and the rye bread had become harder than a brick. According to the guards, in addition to Scott, there should be two young guards here, why are they missing? Could it be that something unknown happened in the lighthouse?

Qing Chi briefly inspected a few bedrooms. The quilt had been torn and the ground was littered with shredded cotton and cracked wine bottles, as well as the remains of huge fluffy spider legs. There were trails of drag and dried blood on the ground, and it looked like there had been a hard fight here. So is Scott still here? If he's still alive, why not report back to the watchtower? If he is dead, who lit the lamp?

Qing Chi quickly climbed up the stairs along the stone steps, and just around the corner, the huge spider silk web in front of him almost covered Qing Chi, and Qing Chi stretched out his arm blade and struggled to cut these spider silks, and finally reached the top floor. And the sight on the top floor almost made Qing Chi retch. Countless small spider remains were piled up on the top floor, mixed with spider silk and minced flesh, and military uniforms torn into rags, severed human limbs, and bright red blood were faintly visible. All the oil was poured into the huge oil lamp, and it turned out that the oil lamp was burning all the time! It's just that in the daytime, the light is too bright for anyone to notice, and the scene here is already miserable. Qing Chi endured the discomfort and searched on the ground, and finally found something valuable.

Scott's Diary:

On the 3rd, the weather was overcast and it didn't seem like anything good was happening. Two young lads brought a barrel of wine from the basement. We're going to spend this year's winter together.

On the 5th, some poisonous frost spiders suddenly appeared out of the basement, and it took us a lot of effort to get rid of these disgusting things. Have they been hiding in the basement, what the hell!

On the 6th, a snowstorm hit. Sitting by the fireplace, I thought of my daughter. Sanny has been away from me for many years, and I don't know if she's okay now, but I'm sure she'll come back to see me one day.

On the 7th, there were more and more frost spiders. Just as we were trying to call for help from a nearby watchtower, a bigger guy appeared! We must not sit idly by. I used to have an ancestral elven bow, and I believe it will come in handy this time. The two young lads were just as motivated as I was. Oh, that guy is Black Widow! It ate a man! No! It's a conspiracy, and I must not ......

This is where the diary is written, and it comes to an abrupt end. The handwriting on the back is quite messy, and it can be seen that it was written in a hurry, and it should have been written in an emergency. It seems that several of the guards in the lighthouse have been attacked by giant spiders. But at the end of this diary, it says that it is a conspiracy, what is going on?

Qing Chi put Scott's diary in his backpack. Silver Fox's real name is Sunny, and her father, Scott, is dead, so how is this commission going to be fulfilled? After thinking about it, I still have to find Scott's body first. Qing Chi pondered for a moment, summoned Dill out, and the two of them prepared to go to the basement of the lighthouse.

Qing Chi held an oil lamp and slowly walked into the damp basement. This time it was not only spider silk that appeared, but also ugly and filthy beetle corpses, densely piled all over the ground, and the smell of rancid smell floating in the air.

"How did these bugs get here?" Dill shouted exaggeratedly, following behind Qing Chi and reluctant to move. The beautiful and holy Lightbringer Elves are a race that hates such filthy things.

"You know these things?" Qing Chi pulled Dil's little hand hard, almost dragging his body.

"Frost spiders, and corpse beetles, disgusting creatures. I've heard the elders mention that this is a creature from the northern Extreme Cold Continent, and it shouldn't belong to the eastern fertile soil. Dill furrowed his eyebrows in disgust.

I see. Qing Chi narrowed his eyes slightly, could it be the huge conspiracy mentioned in the diary......

Before he had time to think about it, suddenly, a stream of white sticky spider silk hit him. Qing Chi hugged Dill and rolled over, dodging the attack of this stream of spider silk. A huge black spider came into Qingchi's eyes. Several spider legs are as tall as a person, covered with black fur, the bulging spider's belly is shaking and shaking, as if it has not finished eating, the spider body is covered with human face-like patterns, looking up, the two bright red spider eyes are staring at Qing Chi and Dill tightly, and the next moment is about to spit out another stream of spider silk.

Qing Chi's gaze was attracted by the spider's belly. It looked as if there was a bulge inside, which had not been digested, and could not be extracted from it, which made the black widow very uncomfortable.
