Chapter 16: The Dwarves

"Ancient books record that this spider has a tube and likes to suck people, is it ......?"

Xiao Ling's heart moved, and the spider rushed to within three meters of him, and the big mouth that looked like a shark suddenly opened.

It had no teeth in its mouth, but a sharp, blood-red tube protruded from it, like a snake python spitting letters.

Xiao Ling suddenly understood how those dwarf dwarves died, and why they had a large number of small holes on the surface of their bodies.

"It turns out that the murderer is this spider, it grabbed those dwarves, pierced their skin with the tube in its mouth, and sucked their body essence and blood, no wonder their corpses were covered with bones and skin, thin as skeletons, and they were all sucked dry by it."

Xiao Ling imagined the process of the death of these dwarves, his scalp was a little numb, and he looked at the blood-red tube sticking out of the mouth of this spider, and suddenly let out an angry shout and took the initiative to meet it.

Taking a step forward, Xiao Ling's figure was like electricity, and he staggered with the spider in an instant, the knife in his hands was picked up, a cold light flashed in the air, and with a snort, the spider rushed along his side, and hit a rock behind him before stopping, and the back full of fish scales suddenly cracked.

A large amount of green juice squirted out.

The spider was split in half by Xiao Ling's knife and cut through it.

Killing this spider, Xiao Ling didn't have the slightest joy on his face, just because there was a crawling sound in several holes in front of him, and one after another spiders appeared.

"Sure enough, I guessed it right, no wonder there are so many cobwebs, this is really a spider nest."

Xiao Ling smiled bitterly, feeling like he had just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu and the eight of them fled into the cave where there was no movement, he quickly retreated to the entrance of the cave.

In just a short period of time, at least a dozen spiders appeared in this huge cave with a radius of 100 meters, and all of them rushed towards them.

Fortunately, the entrance of this cave is not big, at most only one spider can rush up at the same time, Xiao Ling danced the knife in his hand, and immediately killed another spider who rushed up.

This knife is too powerful, as long as it is swept by the knife, no matter how hard the scales on the spider's body are, it will be cut open immediately.

Seeing that there were more and more spiders pouring out, Xiao Ling retreated while fighting, this narrow cave played a role, only one spider could rush in at a time, and it was easily killed by Xiao Ling, the corpses of the killed spiders were blocked in the cave, constantly accumulating, and the spiders behind wanted to rush in, and they also needed to clean up the corpses of these spiders blocked at the entrance of the cave first.

This allowed Xiao Ling to protect Zhang Xiu and the eight people to escape to the depths of the cave easily.

Suddenly, Xiao Ling heard a scream, and his heart suddenly moved.

He clearly sensed that the attacking cockroach seemed a little confused, and slowed down his attack.

It seems that they have encountered a new enemy.

"Luckily, those black ducks also chased after them and fought with these spiders."

Although Xiao Ling couldn't see it, he immediately understood what was happening when he heard the voice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Ling followed behind Zhang Xiu and the eight people, and ran towards the depths of the cave.

He had just run thirty or forty meters into it, when suddenly a scream sounded in the cave behind him.

This scream was very piercing, like a cracked stone piercing through the clouds, Xiao Ling felt a faint pain in his eardrums, and his heart couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.

What kind of monster is this whistling?

Neither black nor like those spiders, could it be that there is an even more terrifying existence hidden in that cave?

With this thought in his heart, Xiao Ling's heart sank slightly, and he immediately asked everyone to speed up and run and leave here.

The cave tilted down, deep into the ground, and after running along the cave for about a kilometer, they finally escaped from the cave, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and a vast space appeared in front of them, as if entering an underground world.

It was no longer dark, but there was a faint light shining in from above, and with the help of this dim light, everyone saw that there were relatively low buildings everywhere in front of them.

Clusters of houses are clustered together, and the scale is not small, at least equivalent to a town market.

Between these houses, there were huge spider webs everywhere, and now Xiao Ling knew that this was a web woven by a spider.

Seeing that these buildings were covered with cobwebs left by spiders, Xiao Ling understood that even if there were people in this town, they would all die.

Unable to hear movement in the cave behind him, it seemed that those spiders or black ducks did not chase down, which made Xiao Ling breathe a sigh of relief.

"These houses are relatively small, it seems that they are the places where those dwarves live, and I can't imagine that there will be a group of such dwarves living in this underground world."

Xiao Ling muttered to himself softly and walked up quickly, already knowing in his heart that those dead dwarves were not dwarves among humans, they should be a special human race, born dwarves.

He thought that there are dwarves in the legends of many countries, and now it seems that this legend is only true, and there is really a group of dwarves living in the ground in front of him, but unfortunately they all died when they encountered the spiders.

Zhang Xiu and the eight of them followed Xiao Ling forward, and soon saw the dwarf corpse again, just like the corpse they saw before, there were holes on the surface of the body, and they were all sucked into dry corpses by the spiders.

Walking along the buildings one after another, there were dwarf corpses and a large number of iron tools everywhere along the way, as well as some iron shops, although they were all covered with cobwebs and dust, Xiao Ling could still see that the dwarven tribe in front of him should have been very prosperous in the past, and it was mainly to make iron tools.

"The legendary dwarves are all master craftsmen and are good at making iron tools, and now it seems that they are real, but unfortunately they were wiped out by those spiders."

Xiao Ling sighed in his heart.

Soon the crowd was in the heart of the dwarven town.

There is a small square here, and in the center stands a huge monument with the inscription of the gods.

This is a memorial monument, and the dwarves erected it, apparently to commemorate it.

Xiao Ling looked at the square platform under the giant monument engraved with the words "Houyi's Monument", and his heart moved slightly.

"The language of these dwarves is also an ancient god, and this memorial monument is used to commemorate Hou Yi?"

Xiao Ling looked at the inscription, quickly took a deep breath, and muttered, "I see." ”

"What's wrong? What is so? Zhang Xiu couldn't understand it, so he could only look at Xiao Ling with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ling said: "I saw the record in the 'Houyi Palace' that said that Houyi is a powerful weapon, the emperor once held Houyi to shoot the sun, so that the stars fell like rain, and now I look at this monument to know that this weapon is a bow called 'Houyi', which is the weapon created by the dwarf clan with the strength of the whole clan, which records that they cast the Houyi bow, destroyed for nine days, and achieved the final victory, and this monument is to commemorate the achievements of the Houyi bow." ”
