Chapter 148: The Weaver on the Cliff
In this way, after killing the Sharon King, the caravan continued to advance, and by dusk it had left the Thundering Sand Sea, and then it was another day before the caravan entered the vicinity of the Himeron Mountain Road.
Entering the familiar Ximerun Mountain Road, the surrounding green atmosphere is gradually becoming more and more intense, and when you walk on the road, people's mood gradually relaxes.
After all, this is the Himeron Mountain Road, and past experience tells people that as long as they don't go too deep and just follow the mountain road, most of the time they won't encounter any powerful monsters. And the climate is much better than the previous thundering sand sea, there will not be such a hot day and cold at night extremely short temperatures. So it's a matter of course for people to feel at ease.
"It's not far from Millad Village when you enter the Himeron Mountain Road, but it's getting late now, so let's rest first, and if you set off early tomorrow morning, you will be able to reach Millard Village around noon." Uncle Hexon said this, and then motioned for the entire caravan to stop and rest.
As before, some of the merchants helped to unload the goods on the back of the herbivorous dragon, and at the same time took out the forage to feed the herbivorous dragon, so that the herbivorous dragon could get enough rest at night, while the other merchants were responsible for lighting the fire and cooking, Catherine and Begonia also helped, only Wenlong found a big tree on the side of the road and sat down, and then prepared to enter meditation again.
For Wenlong, mastering more Ailu cat skills as soon as possible can greatly improve his hunting ability, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off, so as soon as the caravan stopped, he thought about seizing the time to meditate first. However, this time, Wen Long had just calmed down, and before he could enter a meditative state, he suddenly heard some strange sound.
The voice was a little muffled. It's kind of like the feeling of being covered in something and not being able to fully emit it. However, it still caught Wenlong's attention.
"What the hell. Meow? ”
Wen Long paused for meditation for a moment. Then look in the direction where the sound is.
Because it was late at night, there were cliffs on both sides of the Ximeron Mountain Road, and there were dense woods to cover it, so it was impossible for even Wenlong to see what was there.
So Wen Long could only continue to walk forward, bypassing the layers of trees, and only then could he see clearly a spindle-shaped white object in the dark night. It is particularly conspicuous in the reflection of the moonlight.
"It's ...... A cocoon surrounded by white spider silk? Meow? ”
At this time, Wen Long could already determine that the sound he had just heard was from the white object, and it was not far from the white object. Wenlong also saw a huge spider hanging from the cliff, constantly spitting out spider silk to wrap the white object in layers.
"It turned out to be a ghost hunting spider," although it was night, Wen Long, who had excellent night vision, recognized the identity of the big spider at a glance, "It's only been a few days since I passed the Ximeron Mountain Road, and even a monster like the Ghost Hunting Spider has run out, meow." ”
The ghost hunting spider that Wenlong said is different from the monsters he encountered before, it does not belong to the bird dragon species like the big monster bird, the yellow speed dragon, and the blue speed dragon, nor does it belong to the tooth beast species like the big boar king, the beaver beast, and the sand beaver beast, and it is not the ichthyosaur species like the salon and the salon king. Rather, it belongs to the crustacean species that has not been encountered before.
As the name suggests, the oni hunting spider, which belongs to the crustacean species, is covered with a thick gray carapace. There are also prominent brown spikes at several important joints, and a pair of blue eyes on the carapace on its back, which makes the Oni Hunt Spider look like a giant human head when lying on the cliff.
Of course, Wen Long was not afraid of these, although the appearance of this ghost hunting spider was indeed a little scary, but Wen Long knew that this ghost hunting spider was just a monster of the same level as the big monster bird, and it was not too much of a threat to an old hunter like himself.
And just when Wen Long recognized the identity of the big spider, the white spider silk moved again, and once again made a dull sound, this time Wen Long confirmed that there must be something in the spider silk, and it is still alive, of course, the so-called living is only a temporary situation, because if the cocoon surrounded by the entire spider silk is completely closed, then even a living creature will eventually be suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen.
"Now that you've seen this kind of thing, you can't ignore it, meow."
Although he thought so, the white spider silk was hanging on the cliff of the cliff, and Wen Long, who had no long-range attack ability, couldn't reach that thing at all. Of course, Wen Long could also climb the high cliff and cut off the spider silk to make the white mass fall, but it would be too much time for Wen Long to do so.
So the easiest way to do this is to just call someone to help.
"Stupid woman, little girl, come and help, meow!"
Originally, the distance was not too far, so Catherine and Begonia, who heard the call, quickly rushed over, and then, like Wenlong, they also saw the same scene. And the ghost hunting spider didn't seem to care about being watched, or it thought that Wen Long and his party couldn't threaten itself hanging on the high cliff on the ground, so it continued to spit out white spider silk, wrapping the white cocoon-like thing tighter and tighter.
In fact, in normal times, ghost hunting spiders do not have such patience, they will eat their prey directly after tying it up with spider silk, but occasionally they will use spider silk to completely wrap their prey and preserve it, and then wait until the next time to enjoy it. As far as what Wenlong sees so far, the current situation should belong to the latter.
"Ah, Mr. Cat, what's on that cliff!" As soon as she came over, Catherine exclaimed.
"Oh, that's a ghost hunting spider...... Meow. Wen Long replied lightly, as if he was explaining a very ordinary matter.
"That'...... And what's that white thing on the side? It seems to be moving, and there are voices in it......" Catherine asked again.
"I don't know about that uncle, it could be a human, or an animal, or something else, so I wanted to get it down and take a look, meow." When he said this, Wen Long didn't notice that Catherine's body trembled.
"People ......"
After explaining to Catherine, Wenlong said to Begonia, "Now, Begonia, can you cut off the part of the white spider silk spindle that connects to the cliff?" Meow? Wenlong said to Begonia.
"Yes, Begonia can do it." Compared to Catherine, Begonia is much calmer. (To be continued......)
