The rivers and lakes are far away Chapter 43 The Tomb Under the River: The Human-faced Spider

The way of life of the illusion is in the jade coffin, I think this should also be the clue left by the illusion, the mechanism of the underground palace in reality, and the appearance of the ghost corpse out of thin air, must have something to do with this empty jade platform.

The three of us circled around the jade platform for a long time, and when our fingers hit it, it would make a crisp sound, indicating that the jade platform was empty. But I have carefully inspected each side of the jade platform, and it is completely integrated, without any trace of a secret door. The ghost corpse is not a ghost, she has an entity, and it is impossible to appear out of thin air, so there must be a mechanism around the jade platform that can be opened.

"We've checked everything in the dungeon, and there are no mechanisms." Su Mo said, "Could it be that the two sides are not connected at all?" ”

I shook my head and thought, "I think this jade platform is very strange, why is it empty?" ”

Su Mo pouted and said, "Maybe I forgot to speak, or maybe I didn't have enough materials to make half of it, anyway, how do I know?" ”

"What would you do if something stood in your way?" I asked.

Su Mo said without thinking: "Move away!" ”

"What if you can't move it?" I asked again.

"Take a detour, or...... Push it away! ”

After speaking, Su Mo looked at me with wide eyes, and I thought she should think of going with me.

"Only when it is empty can it be pushed." We both said this in unison, and I think the problem that had been bothering us was finally solved.

We immediately started to push the jade platform, but after trying the four directions, the front and back, the left and right, the jade platform still did not move.

"You can't push diagonally, can you?" Su Mo crossed his hands on his hips, panting and complaining.

We looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally decided to be a dead horse doctor, but we didn't expect to actually save the horse.

The jade platform moved along the oblique slideway, and an entrance was immediately revealed below, about a dozen steps down, and then connected to a corridor, and there was a faint cold wind blowing up from the corridor.

I was pleasantly surprised, and it showed that my speculation was correct. I was the first to climb down the stairs and found that the road was not long, not only was there wind in front of me, but I could also see a faint light, and there should be an exit not far away. We walked along the road, and the exit finally led to a stone platform of about ten square meters, which hung in the air above the river, and the sound of rushing water could be heard immediately when standing on the stone platform.

On this small platform, two conspicuous objects can be seen at a glance: a crystal coffin, and an ellipsoidal object one person high, which looks like a huge white ball of thread from a distance.

"Let's take a look." I said to the other two. Then Su Mo and I walked to the white thread group, and Mrs. Guo took the initiative to check the crystal coffin.

"Why are there so many cobwebs?" Su Mo grabbed my arm in fear and said, "I'm most afraid of spiders." ”

Su Mo was right, there were a lot of cobwebs on the walls around the stone platform, including the crystal coffin. There is also a passage about two people wide on both sides of the dark river below the stone platform, where traces of cobwebs can also be seen on the ground and on the stone walls.

I approached the white object, only to realize that there was a mass of thread, and it was clearly a humanoid spider cocoon wrapped in layers of spider silk!

"It's a human chrysalis!" I shouted in surprise.

"Such a big cocoon, what a big spider is this......" Su Mo's fear deepened, her body was almost completely attached to my back, and she said in a weak voice, "Who will be inside, inside?" ”

I don't know if it's the old ghosts or the people who disappeared before, and I don't know if the people who are wrapped up in this form will survive. Just as I was about to open the cocoon to find out, Mrs. Guo next to the crystal coffin on the back shouted: "Run!" ”

When we looked back, countless spiders crawled out of the crystal coffin, each of these spiders was the size of half a palm, and they were divided into two ways, some crawled towards Mrs. Guo, and some surrounded me and Su Mo.

With their jet-black plush bodies, two chelica teeth exposed at the front, and densely packed feet piled together, there are more worms than there were before, and they are definitely a nightmare for people with dense phobia. The rustling sound of rubbing against the ground was like a death knell, forcing us to keep back, and soon there was no way to retreat. Su Mo was so frightened that she was about to cry, and she kept hiding behind me and didn't dare to look forward.

"These spiders are very spiritual, they can smell people, I just saw them gnawing on a corpse in a coffin, and then they came at me!" Mrs. Guo shouted with all her might.

Mrs. Guo's words reminded me that spiders' vision is almost negligible, they mainly rely on touch and smell to prey, we just need to find a way to cover up our smell!

"Senior Guo, do you still have the popping bead you used before?"

Mrs. Guo took out a few from her arms and threw them to me, I fell directly on the ground in front of me, the huge explosion could only kill some of the spiders, but what I wanted was actually the smell of gunpowder produced by the explosion, the main ingredient of gunpowder is sulfur powder, which has a strong pungent smell, which can definitely interfere with the spiders' sense of smell. Just in case, we also took apart a few popping beads and poured the gunpowder directly on the ground, as if drawing a dividing line.

The spiders were disturbed by the smell of gunpowder, and they seemed to hate the smell of gunpowder, and instead of moving on, they retreated back into the crystal coffin.

I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when something even more terrifying happened. The humanoid cocoon shook suddenly, and soon cracked, and two burr-covered feet stretched out, followed by a huge head and a spider sac, and its spider sac was actually the merging of two human legs, and eight spider legs broke out of its back. It suddenly let out a screech, a sound that neither a human nor a spider could make.

When he turned to face us, I thought it would be a terrible face, but it turned out to surprise me - it was a human face. Su Mo behind me shouted in horror: "Dad?!" ”

I was also surprised and asked, "Is he your dad?" ”

Su Mo nodded, and cried anxiously: "How did it become like this, how could it be like this?" ”

I protected her behind me, and I didn't know how to explain it to her, I can only say that the world is a thousand worlds, there are no wonders, the school teaches us reproductive isolation, and it is obviously impossible for humans and spiders to combine, but when they become demons, demons are different, and there are more terrible monsters.

Su Mo's father, who became a human-faced spider, was different from ordinary spiders, he had vision, and the huge spider feet crawled in front of us in three or two clicks, and the fingerprints in my hand were pinched, and the five thunder methods were ready to blast out, but I heard Su Mo crying out in pain: "Dad, wake up, I'm Mo Mo, how did you become like this, woo woo woo ......"

The human-faced spider was suddenly stunned for a moment, he made some strange sounds in his throat, but he should have lost the ability to speak, the voice was treacherous and terrifying, I could vaguely hear the pronunciation like "mo~mo~", which seemed to be calling Su Mo's name.

He stared at Su Mo for a long time, his eyes showed a rare trace of warmth, and then he looked at me again, and I had an idea: "That...... Uncle, I'm a detective. ”

But it was clear that he didn't know me, and I angered him when I said that, and raised his terrifying black fur legs and smashed them at me, and I hurriedly blasted out a five-thunderbolt spell, forcing him back a few steps, but the lightning struck his body, but it didn't do any damage.

At this moment, two figures ran on the shore, and it was only after getting closer that I recognized it as Chen Qiang and the old ghost. Chen Qiang ran to the bottom of the stone platform, pointed to the human-faced spider on the platform and shouted: ", why is there another one!" ”

He raised his hand and fired two shots at the human-faced spider that Su Mo's father had become, and the result was the same, neither the head nor the body could penetrate it. But he sucked away Su Mo's father's hatred, and soon gave up attacking me, and instead crawled towards Chen Qiang under the stone platform.

Next, an even more terrifying scene happened, a larger human-faced spider chased after the old ghost and Chen Qiang along one side of the wall. It is the same as Su Mo's father, it is the body of a human head and a spider, but it is twice as large, and it can be said to be a behemoth. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a human-faced spider king, and Su Mo's father was conceived into such a monster by the cocoon he spit out.

The old ghost and the two ran to the bottom of the stone platform and had no way to retreat, and the front was not blocked, because the dark river could still flow through, but there was no one to walk. The Human-Faced Spider King opened his mouth and spat out a huge spider web, enveloping the old ghost who was closer to him.

Fortunately, the old ghost still has the peachwood sword I gave him, which is very effective against monsters, and he quickly breaks through the spider web and regains his freedom. The Human-Faced Spider King was furious, and actually spit out dense layers of small spiders from his mouth, just like the spiders in the crystal coffin. Mrs. Guo was quick and threw a few popping beads, and the group of little spiders were stopped by gunpowder and stopped crawling forward.

But in the face of the two-headed human-faced spider, we are really helpless.
