Chapter Forty-Nine: Best Friends
"Yes...... There are a lot of bugs, put ...... surrounded us......" Xiaowen's voice was full of tears.
"What?!"
At this time, everyone looked around carefully, and by the hazy moonlight, they could vaguely see huge cobwebs hidden among the branches and blades of grass around them.
The webs are so thin and transparent that they are hard to spot without looking closely. If they hadn't stopped and walked on, they might have hit their heads on it.
"This ...... Isn't there just cobwebs here...... Not...... There are no spiders! Wei Qingqing's voice trembled a little with fright.
"Zhou ...... There are seven spiders around at a distance of more than ten meters from here, like ...... Seems to be waiting for us to hit the cobweb! Xiaowen's cold sweat kept flowing down.
"No wonder there's not a single bug here...... Fortunately, we found it in time, so let's go back quickly. Guoguo patted his chest and said with some fear.
"It's too late, there are two biggest spiders in the direction we came, we ...... It's already surrounded. Xiaowen said tremblingly.
An Cheng was also anxious at this time, even in her heyday, she was not sure that she would retreat under the siege of these spiders, not to mention that she was exhausted now.
She tried to push the unconscious Hu Xiaoyun, her fire ability was the nemesis of these spiders, but she was too badly injured to react.
The spiders had already noticed their arrival, but they had not received the signal for a long time that their prey had entered the web, and they were already a little impatient, and slowly crawled towards them.
"Forget it, I'll fight with them, you can take the opportunity to escape one by one!" An Cheng gritted his teeth and clenched the weapon in his hand, intending to fight to the death.
"No, I'll stay with you, I won't leave you and run away!" Guoguo straightened her chest, although her body still trembled uncontrollably, her eyes were unprecedentedly firm.
"And me!"
"We will die together!"
Xiaowen and Wei Qingqing also stood up straight, their weapons had long been lost in the anthole, so they picked up hard branches on the ground as weapons.
Back to back, they faced enemies from all sides.
At this moment, a large spider monster had already emerged from the woods. Slender spider legs crisscrossed them, blocking all their paths.
The spiders didn't come together as they had imagined, but three of them remained on the perimeter, and only four smaller ones crawled over.
Although it is a small spider monster, it is about two meters long, and the pattern on its abdomen is like a hideous human face, which makes people feel chills at the bottom of their hearts.
Despite its size, the spider monster was extremely nimble in its ability to weave through the trees, and in a matter of moments, it crawled among the grass where they were.
An Cheng didn't wait for them to attack, and threw out the scimitar in his hand first, although due to the lack of metal, each scimitar was a lot thinner, but it didn't affect their attack power at all.
One of the spider monster's long legs was slashed by a sharp blade, disconnecting in an instant, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang after losing its balance.
"Attack their legs!" Seeing that the attack was effective, An Cheng hurriedly reminded several other people.
A few people who originally thought they had fallen into a desperate situation found that An Cheng could solve one of the spider monsters so easily, and a glimmer of hope gradually rose in their hearts.
Unable to heed their fears any longer, they grabbed the branch and stabbed at the other two spider monsters.
Probably because they are used to catching creatures with cobwebs, these spider monsters are large, but they don't have much means of attacking, and just blindly attack with the chelica of their heads.
At first, several of the girls were still embarrassed by dodging, but after becoming familiar with the attack routine, they gradually began to be able to fight back.
"We ...... Maybe...... Won't die! After the several of them worked together to kill the other spider monster, Guoguo forcefully pulled out the stick inserted into the spider's belly, and the originally nervous expression eased a little.
"Is it really that easy?"
Although two of the spider monsters that came to attack had lost their ability to move, the doubts in Xiaowen's heart were getting stronger and stronger.
Although she didn't have the same intuition about danger as Du Jiujiu and An Cheng, judging from the detection results of her spiritual power, these spiders should not be as weak as they appeared.
A feeling of unease haunted her. While attacking the last besieging spider monster, Xiao Wen quietly separated a trace of spiritual power and carefully probed towards the other spider monsters that did not move.
She was shocked to see that one of the spider monsters had different abilities than the others, and its energy was all concentrated near the bulge in its abdomen, as if it was brewing some kind of attack.
And it was standing tall in the direction of the fruit that it knew nothing about.
"Guoguo, get out of the way!" Xiaowen shouted loudly to Guoguo. At the same time, a beam of transparent spider silk had already shot out of the spider monster's abdomen.
But Guoguo didn't react, and still stood there stunned.
Seeing this, Xiaowen's mind went blank for an instant. The moment she regained consciousness, she found that her body had moved on its own and threw herself at Guoguo.
At the moment when Guoguo fell, the thick spider silk ran through Xiaowen's body, but her heart was unprecedentedly relaxed.
"Guoguo, I said it...... Will definitely protect you......"
Xiaowen's blood stained the transparent spider silk red, making it appear in everyone's field of vision, and it was only then that they realized what had just happened.
Xiaowen's brows were tightly wrinkled together due to the pain, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Guoguo's frightened expression, Xiaowen struggled to pull out a smile, she didn't know how ugly this stiff smile was.
"Little ...... Xiaowen ...... "Guoguo stared straight at the blood-stained coat on her left chest, and her lip was bitten so that blood dripped out.
She trembled and stretched out her hands, trying to touch Xiaowen's wounds. At this moment, the spider silk that penetrated Xiaowen suddenly contracted back, and the huge force dragged Xiaowen who was stuck to it into the woods.
"Ahh!!hh Xiaowen !! You're back!!! β
Seeing this, Guoguo seemed to be crazy, jumped up from the ground, and desperately rushed in the direction where Xiaowen was dragged away.
"Guoguo, don't ......" Wei Qingqing wanted to stop her, but was pushed away by Guoguo, directly hitting the trunk of the tree next to her, and her body fell softly.
