Chapter Ninety-Three: The Inner Chamber of the Cave
Unbeknownst to him, the punk who was brewing in the town had gone into the depths of the spider cave.
There are no stalactites standing here, and there are no wriggling purple grass mosses on the ground, not because the hole has not formed, but because they have been deliberately smoothed and wiped clean!
Punk and the golem carefully hid behind a raised rock, with the blessing of the sound slowing technique, their actions did not make any sound, so the punk could have a chance to observe what this obviously enlarged and leveled cave ** was like without startling the snake!
A stealthy arcane eye flew out from behind the rock, with a system to help control and analyze, the arcane eye flexibly avoided the monitoring area of the three vigilance circles, and drilled into it from a position located in the dead end of the vigilance circle!
The entire chamber is about the size of a basketball court, and dozens of magical orbs of light are suspended in mid-air to illuminate the room.
There is a thick blanket on the ground in the center of the inner room, judging from the painting and weaving on the surface of the blanket, this blanket can definitely be regarded as a work of art, and the material of the blanket itself is definitely valuable, but unfortunately, the "artwork" that has been used as a "carpet" for a long time has been filthy and even moldy and rancid.
The most shocking thing is a group of "people" in gray-red robes standing motionless in the blanket, strictly speaking, it is difficult to say whether these guys are human or not, there are men and women, there are about fifty of them, most of them can obviously see that they have the professional level of probationary level, and the most important thing is that these people wear robes normally on the upper body, but the lower body has become the body of a spider!
The belly of the spider covered with the carapace replaced their hips, and the sharp eight arthropods took the place of their legs,
These people looked like monsters stitched together with giant spiders and humans, and even from a distance, the punk could feel the chaotic repulsion of life energy in their bodies.
Obviously, these people have undergone some unusual biological modification, and they have been transformed into this half-human, half-spider appearance for some purpose.
The half-spider monsters were praying to a statue carved in the shape of a spider, all of them lined up in a neat row, and the muffled prayers were as eerie and indistinct as a noisy hoarse guttural voice.
But............ The gods they worship are a bit strange, and even though Punk searches for the knowledge in his memory, he still doesn't have any clue about this "god" who is exactly like a spider from beginning to end!
"Maybe it's another evil god from an outer plane who got the Godhead by chance?"
Instead of continuing with unfounded suspicions, Punk calmly ignored the unknown gods.
In the multiverse, unless you encounter some guys who break the "rules" of the multiverse, otherwise, it is infinitely impossible for any god to descend on the plane of Faeron, and the believers of the gods can only be protected by the church of the gods! Even if he destroys the church of a god, as long as he is not too arrogant and angers other churches, he has nothing to do but watch!
Not to mention these evil gods that everyone shouts and beats............ They didn't even dare to show their faces, let alone take revenge, and once faced with such a situation where the church was destroyed, there was no way but to eat a dumb person and admit it! This is the sorrow of a prisoner like the gods.
Punk didn't alarm the half-spider monsters, who appeared to be followers of some religion, and continued to manipulate the "arcane eyes" to look around the inner room.
At the very back of the inner chamber was a heavy iron door sealed by chains, which Punk estimated to be the core area that led to the inner area.
In addition to the iron gates, there are two or three small doors on the surrounding walls, which are likely to be living quarters such as toilets, and the random pots and pans in the corners of the walls and the piles of shabby clothes also prove that these believers should have lived in them.
It's normal to think about it carefully, these guys have been transformed into this appearance, judging from their expressions and demeanors, their mental will is obviously abnormal, and it is impossible to swagger to buy vegetables on the street, right, hiding here without seeing the light of day is also said in the past.
The most incomprehensible thing for the punk is that the strange "half-spider" transformation on these believers does not seem to have any special power, and the punk found through the observation of the arcane eye that this transformation seems to be just a burden for these believers, and the spider body in their lower body does not have extraordinary speed or strength, even those carapaces that look hard and flexible are just a look, and the actual strength is not even comparable to ordinary steel plates.
The punks feel more and more that these guys are weird and suspicious, they can't just because they are tired of walking on two legs, and suddenly want to try the feeling of walking on eight legs, so they collectively have convulsions and replace the second half of their lives with half spiders, right?
However, due to the fact that this cave is equipped with a shielding prophecy spell and a magic array, Punk has no way to obtain information about these believers through the prophecy spell, so he can only simply guess that these people are the "guinea pigs" of some kind of transformation experiment, and they are placed here for the convenience of observation and research.
As Punk pondered, the prayers of the half-spider believers seemed to be coming to an end, and they all stood up and used their eight inflexible spider legs to prop up the bloated spider's belly, staggering like a group of drunken drunks.
After making up his mind to eliminate these believers without alarming the deeper "bosses" who don't know whether they exist or not, Punk took advantage of the fact that these people had not dispersed to "move freely", and finally manipulated the Eye of the Secret Law to carefully look around the corners of the wall, until he was sure that there would be no unusual clues hidden anywhere, and the Punk simply dissipated the Eye of the Secret Law.
Since there is no way to get clues from the items, then go and ask the "living people" here, anyway, such a group of apprentice-level guys can't pose a threat to themselves!
Although the beliefs of these believers seem to be very religious, and it may be very troublesome to interrogate information, Punk believes that there will definitely be one or two of them who are afraid of death and pain, and will be able to ask for some useful information at that time, or at least have to know a little bit about the situation inside.
After carefully inspecting the armor of the high-level mage with sufficient energy and the skewed position, Punk silently prepared a silent field and pinched it in his hand, and Golem One also tensed its muscles and was ready to attack, just waiting for Punk's order, it would jump to the iron door in the inner room, and then firmly block the passage to prevent any believer from escaping or ventilating the news.
"Faith is a good thing, it unites people......... It's just so convenient for me to catch them all"!
Finally, after a sigh of emotion to himself, Punk walked out from behind the rock indifferently!
