Act 355: Requiem V

When the knights heard the princess's order, they all drew their swords and lined up in a line to meet the enemy. And the witches stand with Brando, and they are distinct. The large saber-toothed spiders in the crystal clusters pounced in front of them in an instant, but to everyone's surprise, these terrifyingly shaped monsters split to both sides as if they hadn't seen them, bypassing them and heading straight for the darkness on the other side.

What's going on? Everyone turned their heads in amazement to see these crystallized monsters stop and rush forward, disappearing into the darkness on the other side, and soon only the sound of a distant rustling was left.

Not to mention the knights, even Brando and the witches around him couldn't help but be a little confused. If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and most of the monsters are ferocious and easy to kill, and most of them do such strange behaviors for a reason.

"They...... Seems like running away? Behind Brando, Princess Griffiin whispered, somewhat uncertain.

Yes, they're on the run! As if a bolt of lightning crossed his thoughts, Brando reacted. His face changed, each of those large crystalline saber-toothed spiders was not inferior to the human swordsmen who had entered the Golden Realm, what else could make them run for their lives in the underground?

The answer is pretty obvious.

"Put your sword away and run, there's something chasing them behind!" Brando's scalp tingles at the thought of how terrible the mother spider was. He suddenly felt that he was not in conflict with this place, and every time he came, he would encounter all kinds of situations.

The knights were slightly stunned, and then reacted. Their faces changed. Put away your sword and turn back. Brando was afraid

They panicked and ran headlong into Annalons' cobwebs, and hurriedly reminded everyone to show the way.

The ground is littered with layers of spider silk, and it looks as if the safest way to go is to go along the river beach. But only Brando knew it was a trap. The safest way was on the side of the cliff, and he had only a safe pass through it.

In fact, there was a treasure there, but Brando didn't have the heart to think about it right now. He led everyone through the strange rocky stalactites. Avoiding the huge cobwebs that connected almost the entire underground passage, it didn't take long for everyone to hear a rustling sound behind them—like a large hand rubbing against a thread of yarn.

Princess Griffiin subconsciously looked back and saw four pairs of scarlet eyes in the darkness, each the size of a fist. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but let out a low scream, her feet went limp, and she almost fell.

Brando's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly grabbed her. "Don't look behind us, she's looking for us too."

"Is that the mother spider?" Her Royal Highness finally calmed down the fear in her heart before she asked in a low voice. "Yes, that's her." Brando replied with a calm nod.

He didn't even need to look behind him to know that the mother spider was trailing behind them, the dark perception was a sparkling attribute in Amber Sword, and now that it was in full swing again, Brando could clearly feel the chill behind him. But that feeling doesn't make people feel too comfortable.

"She didn't see us?"

"She's determining where we are." He would love to tell Her Highness that the Mother Spider's eyes are ornaments or scary things. Don't look at the numbers, but her real eyes are the silk under her feet. She senses the location of her prey by means of guò vibrations, and her silk is spread all over the underground tunnels, and the slightest vibration will attract her attention

The group and a spider fled and chased, and soon passed through a large web-covered cave. Brando specializes in the narrower caves to drill around. It greatly limited the speed at which the mother could move forward, but even so, the giant monster kept following them closely.

Fortunately for the knights, the high-intensity training allowed them to cope with this kind of scene with ease, and they could keep up with Brando's pace even in heavy armor. However, the witches, who lacked exercise on weekdays, soon became overwhelmed, and several old witches followed angrily, and Brando had to slow down to ensure that everyone was not left behind.

And in doing so, Mother Spider was one step closer to them, and Brando could almost feel her clear footsteps with each of her arthropods. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, at this time it was actually very close to the narrow mouth in his impression, as long as he insisted on it for a while.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Analons, the spider mother, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and she suddenly let out a hiss and chased after her. He raised his chelicera and swept towards Brando's group.

"Right ahead!" Brando shouted in his heart, picked up Her Royal Highness and rolled forward. The princess snorted, and the giant chelicera of the spider mother 'Annarons' swept over the top of the two heads, and two knights and a witch who couldn't dodge were directly cut in half.

The shattered human body fell to the ground like two pieces of wood, and then blood gushed out like a fountain of blood, spilling all over the surrounding area.

Brando faintly heard the voice of the little witch called the 'sugar pot' and screamed in fright, and he grabbed the sword of the earth in a daze, and got up from the ground, looking up to see another cliff in front of him. However, there was a half-human-wide crack in the rock wall on the side of the cliff, and the rocks and black holes in the cracks were no different from what he remembered.

That's exactly what he's looking for.

"Everyone, don't stop, get inside!" Brando didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shouted to the others. The knights and witches ran in that direction. He turned back to see the spider mother 'Anarons' in the darkness raise her chelicera again, four pairs of blood-red eyes staring at him condescendingly.

"Who's going to be afraid of you, monster!"

Brando had no room to retreat at this moment, he simply stood up straight, raised the sword of the earth and stepped forward. The dark blade rounded in mid-air and slashed at the chelicera swept down by the spider mother 'Analons', and when there was a loud bang, Brando only felt that he had struck a steel pillar or rock, and a dazzling spark suddenly bloomed in the darkness.

Half of his body was numb, and he only felt a huge force that directly carried him out. Crashed into a rock wall on one side. Brando's head tilted and he suddenly snorted, and the sword of the earth in his hand, Halangeya, also flew out of his hand, whirling and grazing a few stone stalactites. There was a series of tinkling noises in the darkness, and then landed in a cloud of cobwebs.

It hurts!

Brando realized how far he was from the true side of truth, the fight with Williams had already made him a little too hot, and the aftermath didn't show up until this moment. The power of the brigade mage is not his own after all.

He felt a tingling in his throat. The mouth is full of fishy salty taste. But this was not the time to think about gains and losses, he shook his head vigorously to shake the dizziness out, but his head also broke, and he barely raised his eyelids covered by blood, and saw the spider mother 'Analons' swinging her eight legs closer and closer to him in a field of scarlet.

Brando felt his heart tighten at that moment.

The knights and witches had approached the crack by this time, and only then did they realize that Brando had been sent flying. If they want to turn around and come back to the rescue, it seems that it is too late at this moment.

It was at this time that Princess Griffyne, who was not far away, suddenly reacted and rushed towards the knight who had been killed earlier. Picking up his relic, a long sword, he threw it at Mother Spider with all his strength, the blade spinning and striking at Mother Spider's head, causing her little head to deflect to one side.

The half-elf princess then drew her saber and called out to the giant spider with a pale face, "Monster, I'm here——! ”

"No, Your Highness Princess!"

Brando coughed. Exclaimed anxiously. But Her Royal Highness the Princess has already held the sword in both hands and is getting closer and closer to the spider mother, although the spider mother 'Annarons' has been civilized and entered the realm of the truth side, it is not an intelligent creature after all, and the law of civilization is just an instinct.

Princess Griffi's proximity threatened him. It turned to the half-elf princess in some confusion, and then raised its chelicera high, ready to teach a lesson about the insignificant thing that dared to challenge itself.

Brando's blood was congealed, and he immediately took out a bottle of holy water and poured it down. Then he rolled forward to the pile of cobwebs, and pulled the sword of the earth from inside.

But at this time, the spider mother had already launched an attack on Princess Griffiin, and she saw the half-elf girl take a step back cautiously, and in the face of this terrible monster, she almost trembled and clenched her long sword with both hands, but she still gritted her teeth and put on the posture of Eruin's military swordsmanship.

If Brando were to judge her stance, it would be completely up to par, almost perfect, but meaningless. The princess's sword-holding posture shows that she has put a lot of thought into her swordsmanship, and this meticulous starting hand style alone is enough to make people shine and score three points first, but unfortunately, this is not a knight's arena.

It's on the battlefield where they fight each other.

In the face of monsters, no one will talk about the rules of knights. Monsters don't, and neither do swordsmen.

Princess Griffiin had done her best, gritting her teeth and slashing her sword against the chelicera of Mother Analons, but the sheer force made her whimper and be pressed to the ground. Then the second chelicerae thrust down from top to bottom on the top of the princess's head—

"Be careful!" Brando's hands and feet are cold, for fear of seeing Princess Griffiin killed in front of him. But it was at this time that a white light lit up from Her Royal Highness the Princess, and suddenly made the spider mother's huge chelicera deflect to one side and pierce the girl's left shoulder.

Although the half-elf girl gritted her teeth, she still let out a suppressed scream. She had never felt such intense pain since she was a child, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.

There is defensive equipment!

Brando's heart fell together, so that he didn't have a heart attack, otherwise he was afraid that he would be scared to death this time. However, he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat secretly, he should have thought that Princess Griffyne, as a member of the royal family, would definitely have one or two life-saving magical equipment on her.

In an instant, it was the difference between life and death. Brando finally arrived, and with a roar he raised his Earth Sword and slashed at the junction between Mother Spider's massive body and tiny head. But the expected scene of the hands rising and falling was nothing more than an imagination, and when the indestructible blade of the Sword of the Earth pulled only a bright spark on the hard shell of Annarons, Brando couldn't help but feel a little desperate - is this thing that hard?

Brando's attack caught the mother's attention, and she pulled out the chelicera from Princess Griffyne's left shoulder. He turned around and swung his right paw and struck Brando firmly in the chest. The attack was swift and unbelievable. Before Brando could react, he was swept to the ground and suddenly fell dizzy.

He shook his head and tried to get back up, but he felt Anaron lift his front foot and press it down. Hold him down on both shoulders. Then the giant spider lowered its body and opened its chelicera, revealing eight pairs of sharp fangs beneath its crimson eyes.

Damn, this guy can't be hungry!

Brando's eyes widened, and his heart was about to jump out. After all, anyone who is treated as the next meal by a behemoth probably won't feel too good. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking of a way to get out, when Her Royal Highness the princess pressed her shoulder and gritted her teeth and rushed up, raising her sword and slamming it into Annalons's head.

Mother Spider was biting Brando. But then he was knocked and gnawed on the rocks. The wound on Princess Griffiin's shoulder was ripped open once more, and Annarons bit a large hole out of the cavern's hard granite floor—leaving behind a pool of corrosive venom—and Her Highness snorted in pain, and Mother Spider couldn't help but let out a scream of rage.

She immediately turned her head and spewed a dark green poisoned arrow at Princess Griffiin. Her Royal Highness was holding down the long sword with her hand to support the spider mother's chelicera, there was no way to avoid it, and the magic equipment on her body was also useless, she could only close her eyes as if she was resigned to her fate.

However, the poisoned arrow did not befall her as she had hoped. Princess Griffiin craned her neck for a moment before she opened her eyes slightly, and she looked back in amazement as a pale blue shield appeared beside her, and the poisoned arrow had long since disappeared.

This is the Water Shield technique. A spell that even an Elemental Envoy Apprentice can cast, but is the greatest nemesis of Analons' poison archery. This is a valuable experience for players and one of Brando's greatest assets.

After the spider mother sprayed two poisons in a row, she couldn't help but fall into malaise. Brando, who finally managed to get a chance to breathe, hurriedly shouted: "Babasha, find a way to help!" ”

In fact, he wanted to break free by himself, but unfortunately the spider mother and him were really not on the same level, even in a state of malaise, it was not something he could deal with.

Before dealing with Williams, it was lucky to use the Demon Breaking Cone to pierce the opponent's law line, causing the opponent's law to backlash and kill the other party, but it was also the guy's own brain-dead that pulled him into the Extreme Plains to have the later result. The spider mother is completely different, even if he has a way to take out the god-killing demon cone now, but he still needs the other party to have a law thread to nail him. You must know that most monsters are very keen, and they will not lightly exert their law power.

But Babasha really found a way at this time, and the wrinkled old witch immediately said to her adopted daughter: "Quick, sugar pot, use your spell!" ”

The girl holding the honey jar crawled out of the crack, and Brando saw a number of inexplicably shaped creatures emerging from behind her, some like cows or horses, others like monsters or legendary creatures, and some without specific names at all, each with its own name - Brando recognized at a glance that they were all 'real names', names that were engraved on the Codex and truly possessed power.

Most of those names are bizarre and written in a variety of languages. Some are even purely a string of letters, or something of unknown significance. There is only one type of zài in the world that uses such a name.

That is the Spirit of Contract.

Pacting.

It turned out that this little girl was a spirit deed master, a family of witches who specialized in spiritism. Brando vaguely remembered that it was supposed to be the witch who guarded the entrance to the land of the dead in the Land of Silence - the inheritance of the witches of life and death.

It turned out to be them.

His eyes widened when he saw the sugar pot and said, "O Cun, who has signed a pure contract with the sugar pot in this world, please give me your strength." ”

Then a black creature flew out from behind her and descended on the spider mother, and then Brando felt the spider mother's forelimbs loosen against her. When he looked back, he saw that the terrible creature was asleep.

"Thoreau, the god of sleep!" Only then did Brando realize what the pact spirit summoned by the sugar pot was, and although Thoreau was a pact, he was actually a secondary god.

There are not many witches who can summon such a powerful pact, especially the sugar pot, but it is still the strength of the silver rank. He immediately doubted the identity of the other party, could it be that this girl turned out to be the direct bloodline descendant of the witch of life and death?

"Hurry up, sir." Babasha hurriedly ran over to hold the sugar pot, and the girl was so tired that she passed out after casting the spell, "The spell of the sugar pot is very flawed, and I don't know how long this thing can sleep." ”

Brando was startled, and hurriedly crawled out from under the sleeping spider mother, and helped Her Royal Highness the princess, who was also languishing. Then he quickly ran towards the knights, but this time he had not yet taken two steps before he heard an angry howl from behind.

Then a strong wind struck.

Damn, this spell lasts too little! Brando's heart suddenly groaned, when Babasha said that the sugar pot spell was flawed, he hadn't felt it, but now he finally knew what it meant.

But this flaw is too cheating!
