42. Mere spiders

Ding Hao didn't run long in the forest with Altea, and suddenly felt a tightness in his right calf, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground. When he turned his head to look, he found that his right calf was tightly entangled by the spider web thrown by the spindle spider mother, and not only was it entangled, but the spindle spider mother also dragged Ding Hao back.

Ding Hao immediately hugged the big tree next to him tightly to prevent the spindle spider mother from dragging him over, and at the same time pulled out his pistol and aimed at the thin spider silk and pulled the trigger.

The silk is very, very thin, and it is constantly shaking, and to be honest, it is not easy to shoot this thing. One shot, two shots, three shots, and the third bullet finally broke the spider silk. Then just as Ding Hao was about to get up, a slightly larger spindle spider suddenly pounced on Ding Hao.

said that in the past two days, it seems that he has always been pounced on by all kinds of strange things, and Ding Hao is speechless about this.

It's better not to be distracted and complain about yourself in this dangerous time, Ding Hao supported the spindle spider's chest with his left hand to prevent its fangs from biting him, and then the pistol in his right hand pressed the trigger on the spindle spider's mouthparts. With a soft sound of flesh tearing, the original ugly mouthparts of the spindle spider were instantly smashed into a pile of slag.

Lifting the corpse of the spindle spider, Ding Hao saw another spindle spider jumping over, but the spider was hit in the stomach before it hit the ground, and all kinds of internal organs and juice were spilled everywhere.

"Let's go!" Not far away, Althea was holding an M4A1 rifle and firing a series of shots, and the 5.56mm small-caliber high-speed bullets exploded a puff of sparks on the mother spindle spider, but these bullets did not cause any substantial damage except for leaving white marks on the hard carapace of the mother spindle spider.

"Kill the small one first, and solve the big one last!" While Ding Hao got up, he didn't forget to shout to Althea.

Along with the spindle spider mother, there are also 7 spindle hunting spiders, these spindle spider mothers' personal guards are larger than ordinary spiders, and they are more aggressive, and they will even pounce remotely, just now Ding Hao was pounced on by the spindle hunting spider. Compared with ordinary spindle spiders, spindle hunting spiders have a tough carapace, which is enough to withstand the close direct attack of pistol bullets, but in the face of 5.56mm small-caliber high-speed bullets with 2000 joule kinetic energy, they are still as fragile as paper.

After hearing Ding Hao's shout, Althea turned her gun and aimed at the fast-crawling spindle hunting spiders one by one, but after all, Altea used M4A1 for the first time, and most of the bullets hit the ground accurately.

"Shoot! Dot and shoot! There are infrared rays on the gun, so let the red dot point at the spider to fight! Ding Hao was responsible for attracting the attention of the mother spindle spider when Althea was cleaning up the spindle spider and creating more killing opportunities for Althea, but looking at Althea's clumsy marksmanship, Ding Hao still had a burst of egg pain.

Under Ding Hao's reminder, Althea turned on the infrared sight on the barrel handguard, so that the accuracy of shooting was greatly improved, and the spindle hunting spiders crawling around died one after another under Altea's gun.

And Ding Hao encountered some small troubles here, because of the size and self-weight of the spindle spider mother, it is impossible to climb as fast as a spindle hunting spider, but the heavy carapace and amazing accuracy of the spindle spider mother make it a turret, constantly firing annoying spider webs at Ding Hao. Even if the cobwebs don't hit Ding Hao, they will stick to the ground or dirt, splitting the entire area into several small pieces, and Ding Hao's dodge range becomes smaller and smaller.

It's a bit like Go, and Ding Hao is currently at an absolute disadvantage. But the reality is not a game of chess, when your life is threatened, you can turn the table at any time.

Ding Hao simply flipped the table, directly took out a Molotov cocktail and lit it and threw it towards the spindle spider mother, when the burning bottle flew above the spindle spider mother, Ding Hao shot the bottle in the air, and the burning gasoline immediately poured the spindle spider mother's head and face.

Although this bit of flame does not cause much substantial damage to the mother spindle spider with a thick carapace, the spider silk spewed out by the mother spindle spider is extremely afraid of fire, and as long as it is burned by the fire, it will be directly scorched and broken. Ding Hao seized the opportunity to go around the back of the spindle spider mother, took out the M500, aimed at the huge abdomen of the spindle spider mother, and pulled the trigger.

The carapace of the spindle spider mother can block a small-caliber high-speed bullet with 2000 joule kinetic energy, but it can't do anything about the .50 Magnum pistol bullet with 3500 joule kinetic energy, Ding Hao directly blasted a hole the size of a human head in the abdomen of the spindle spider mother.

However, pistol bullets focus on stopping action, and the penetration power is not comparable to rifle bullets, although the wound looks very large, and the only thing that really hurts is the hard carapace on the surface. Coupled with the huge size of the spindle spider mother, this can only be regarded as a skin trauma for it.

Feeling her carapace pierced, the mother spindle spider was a little anxious, lifting her belly high and slamming it on the ground like a piledriver. With a loud bang, a violent shock wave spread, and both Ding Hao and Althea were knocked to the ground at once. After smashing across the floor, the spindle spider mother quickly turned around, and her two hard and sharp front legs slashed towards Ding Hao like a scythe for cutting wheat.

Ding Hao rolled to dodge the spindle spider mother's slash, and rolled under the spindle spider mother's belly behind it, aiming at the splinter just now for another shot. Without the protection of the carapace, Ding Hao made a fist-sized wound in the abdomen of the spindle spider mother. Sensing that her life was threatened, the mother spindle began to spin wildly, cutting through everything around her with her sharp arthropods: shrubs, weeds, dirt, rocks, everything that was cut in pieces.

And Ding Hao used his hand to clasp the wound on the abdomen of the spindle spider mother, and the whole person was shaken wildly and irregularly with the rotation of the spindle spider mother. Ding Hao endured the dizziness and took out a grenade, flicked off the safety with his thumb and stuffed it into the wound in the abdomen of the spindle spider mother, and then let go of his hand, and was directly thrown out three meters away by the spindle spider mother, until he hit the tree and stopped.

"Get down!" Ding Hao, who was knocked into a daze, couldn't take a breath, got up from the ground and hid behind a tree, and by the way, he woke up Althea not far away. Fortunately, Althea didn't ask much, and threw herself forward and lay on the ground. Two seconds later, with a dull explosion, the mother spindle's abdomen exploded entirely, spilling internal organs and bodily fluids everywhere, and the surrounding trees were covered with broken carapaces.

"Is this the end?" Althea looked at the miserable spindle spider mother that had been blown up in front of her, and pulled Ding Hao up from the ground.

"Ahem......" Ding Hao coughed twice, "I guess it's over, but we'd better check the cave again, if there are spider eggs or something like that in the cave, it will be a scourge to hatch spiders later." ”

Unexpectedly, Ding Hao's casual remarks were really right, and the two of them really found a large number of oval white spider eggs in the hole where the spindle spider mother was hiding, and there were thousands of them.

"What are you going to do with it?" Looking at Althea standing beside him, Ding Hao felt that it was better to ask the opinions of the locals, maybe spider eggs or something were also a delicacy in Night Town.

"It's simple, smash them." It turned out that Ding Hao thought too much, and Althea picked up a wooden stick and beat a ball of spider eggs into mud, and the pale cyan liquid flowed out of the broken spider eggs, exuding a subtle smell.

Apparently no one will like this thing.

The two of them fought and smashed, and soon destroyed all the eggs in the cave, and the problem of spindle spiders was completely solved, and now the bridge can be repaired.

"The water quality here is good." Ding Hao squatted by the river, rolled up his sleeves and planned to bow to wash his face with river water, but the previous battle made his body dirty.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch the river." However, before Ding Hao's hand touched the river, Althea suddenly stopped Ding Hao's movements.

"Why? Is there anything wrong with this water? Ding Hao asked with some confusion.

"Take a closer look at the river." Althea had a smile on her face. "You'll find something unusual."

Not to mention, after ten seconds of careful observation, Ding Hao really found some problems: this small river is about 20 meters wide, the water quality is clear, and the current is not fast, so it should be an ideal growth point for aquatic organisms, but there is not a single fish in this river.

"Why aren't there any fish in the water?" When Ding Hao said this, he had already taken several steps back.

"You're looking closely." Althea picked up a branch and plunged into the river.

Crash! The originally calm river water instantly rolled up as if it was boiling, and what Ding Hao originally thought was silt had now turned into countless slender leeches, these leeches writhed wildly around the branches, and the leaves on the branches disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the branches, and some leeches even climbed up along the branches.

In less than half a minute, half of the branch more than a meter long was gnawed off, and as soon as Althea let go, the whole branch fell into the water, attracting more leeches to grab food.

"See, this river is full of these things, and this section of the river is where the most leeches are located." Althea stretched out her hand and gestured a long distance, "We wouldn't have been able to cross this river without the bridge. ”
