Chapter 57: The Spider

As an underground military force with a special mission and acting secretively, the Avenger army gradually developed a set of code words that only their own people could understand, and transmitted information through a certain regular arrangement of signals such as gestures, sounds, and lights.

Sophia and the others have been in the camp for a while, and they have worked hard to integrate into the training life of the regents, and everyone's learning ability is not bad, so naturally they have learned all the code words.

So when there was a faint knotted flash of light from the top of the tower, Cassius immediately understood the meaning: "There is a fire in the slums south of the city, and Sophia wants one of us to come and take a look." ”

"The fire in the south of the city, Cassius even knows this!" Ishinova said suspiciously, looking at the lively crowd.

"How would he know?" said Lyle, who was deliberately dismissive.

The two siblings, who had just arrived at the Revenge camp, had not yet had time to be trained in the code, and were skeptical of what Cassius was saying.

"Ishnova, Lyle, you stay here and continue to observe, and I'll go to the south of the city to see what's going on. Cassius didn't expect their siblings to understand, and he didn't have time to explain much, and since Sophia had such orders, he just did it.

But Cassius had just run a few meters away when a few more flashes of light appeared on the top of the tower, and Cassius immediately stopped when he saw the flash, turned around, and said to Lyle, "I'm sorry...... Sophia said I had to stay. So, Lyle, please ......"

"I don't want it!" Before Cassius could finish speaking, Lyle immediately shook his head and waved his hand in refusal, "This city is so big, why do you just say a few words and make up a few words, and I will break my leg." ”

"Brother, how can you be like this? Cassius has already asked you very politely. Ischenova glared at Lyle with eyes full of "grievances".

"This guy is still polite like that?!, well......

Lyle ended his "struggle" with his head down, and in front of his sister, who was "eating inside and out", he had no room for resistance, but obediently left the noisy crowd and ran in the direction of the south of the city.

"Remember, don't use magic until you have to. Cassius reminded him at the back.

"Got it......" Lyle replied weakly as he walked.

At the top of the tower, through a monocular, Joyka observed Lyle breaking away from the crowd and seeing Cassius gesturing in his direction.

The fat man said that everything was normal on their side, and nothing unusual was found. Joy Kado.

"It's weird. Sophia, who was observing the slums south of the city with a telescope, noticed something unusual, "There are already many people involved in fighting the fire, but the fire is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"That's because someone set it on fire. Alice said the weirdness.

"But that's not the weirdest thing. The fire had been burning for so long, but its effects were confined to the slums, as if the rest of the city had nothing to do with them. The watchtowers scattered throughout the city actually didn't play a role, and the soldiers stationed on the watchtowers didn't ......?"

Before Sophia's speculation was finished, suddenly the four soldiers who had been subdued and thrown aside by the five flowers tied up and thrown aside let out a panicked cry of "babbling". The three intruders looked over together, and saw more than a dozen palm-sized black spiders, crawling along the walls and ground in all directions, towards the four incapacitated soldiers, the fluffy eight legs, the black body, and the front claws that had been raised high, so that anyone could not help but shudder when they saw it.

Before the two ladies came to their senses, the well-informed Joyka had already taken the lead in reacting, he grabbed the arrows in the quiver and threw them over, several sharp arrows were accurately nailed to the spiders crawling in front, and the bodies of those terrifying "eight-legged monsters" were penetrated, and the green-white body fluids flowed sideways, and the eight feet were still moving.

The remaining spiders paid no attention to their "killed" companions, and still crawled towards the four soldiers desperately.

"Quick!"

Joyka screamed urgently, waking Sophia and Alice from a daze.

The two of them hurriedly took action, and they divided the rest of the spiders by two. However, before the three of them could breathe, more spiders had crawled along the outer wall of the clock tower, hundreds of thousands of densely packed towards the seven people on the clock tower.

"Huh......" Alice was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she stood on the spot.

"Hurry up! these spiders are targeting the soldiers!" Joyka said, drawing her sword and slashing at the swarm of spiders crawling in by the wall.

At this time, in one of the firetowers in Hansha City, there were already crawling with that kind of terrifying black-haired spider. Beneath the layers of white spider silk were the cold corpses of several soldiers who had been stationed at the watchtower. The spider's toxin permeated his whole body and turned his face dark green, but he had a strange smile on his face. The soldiers, still armed at the time of their deaths, collapsed in their stands. It can be seen that at the moment before they stopped breathing, they still did not know that they were attacked, and they fell unconsciously, and finally lost their lives.

But among the large pile of poisonous spiders scurrying around, there stood a large living person. The poisonous spiders swaggered past the living man, but they had no intention of attacking, ignoring Owen. It's hard to imagine that these "tame" reptiles are actually the same creatures as the bloodthirsty monsters that frantically besieged and hissed at those soldiers a few minutes ago.

To test his guess, Owen crouched down and reached out to one of the spiders.

The spider that was actively "provoked" just stretched out its front claw to touch the skin on the back of Owen's hand, and then quickly ran away.

"And so it was. Owen stood up and looked at the strange corpses, he already had a conclusion in his mind, "These spiders are specially trained by people, and their attacks are limited to the soldiers of the Pole Kingdom in Hansha City. ”

Meanwhile, on a clock tower a few blocks away, another young man came to the same conclusion as Owen was safe.

"I met once before when I traveled around the world. This spider is an endemic species that lives in the miasma swamps of the Galaxy Continent, and is called the 'Ringed Iron Tarantula'. The well-informed Joyka explained as she wiped the spider's bodily fluids from the sword, "This spider will only attack and hunt targets with a specific scent. If they are captured and trained in a specific way, as long as the target is provided with the correct smell, these 'ringed iron tarantulas' can hunt exactly what their owner wants to kill, without accidentally injuring others. ”

"Are you saying that the army of Duris in the city has become the target of this spider?" Alice felt incredulous.

"To be precise, anyone who is stained with the smell of the barracks will become the prey of these spiders. Including us. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Joika returned his sword and slashed in half a spider that tried to sneak up on him from behind.
