Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dealing with the Ghost-Faced Spider
I ignored Xiao Yue and carefully tore open the cobwebs wrapped around the bones with my hands.
Fortunately, these cobwebs have become rotten after an unknown number of years, but they have not allowed me to use much strength.
When the cobwebs were torn open, a withered skeleton was revealed.
After hundreds of years or thousands of years, the water in the bones has already been completely evaporated, and the strange thing is that this body did not decay, but turned into a dried corpse like an ancient Egyptian mummy.
However, the deep-seated hollow eye sockets still make people feel a little hairy.
Resisting the urge to vomit, I reached out and groped my way through the skeleton, but there was nothing but a broken iron sword that had rusted and rotted.
Holding the iron sword in his hand and gently exerting force, the already corroded iron sword was immediately broken into two pieces.
The first corpse yielded nothing, and I was a little reluctant, and carefully dragged the second skeleton from the cobwebs again.
When I tore open the webs, the second skeleton was still empty, worse than the first, and I couldn't find even a rusty, tattered iron sword.
"Zhang Sansan, what are you looking for? Could it be that at this time, you still have the heart to find valuable antiques on these bones? Xiao Yue said curiously.
I rolled my eyes, not bothering to talk to her.
Xiao Yue's upper and lower IQ limits are a little incomprehensible, sometimes he is as fine as a monkey, and sometimes he is as stupid as a pig.
"Don't talk nonsense, I guess he's looking for a weapon against the ghost-faced spiders on these bones." Li Huiyan's voice also rang out.
Hearing this, I looked up to the sky and sighed, there is really still a gap between this person and people, and I couldn't help but give Li Huiyan a thumbs up in my heart.
The second corpse didn't yield anything, and I wasn't sure.
When dragging the bones, I always choose the one that looks the most recent, and the silk that looks like the other two corpses wrapped in the bones next to the cobwebs is obviously much older.
Since nothing has been found in either of the most recent bones, I have no hope for the other two.
Eventually, I once again set my eyes on the second body that had been dragged back.
Nine times out of ten, the remaining two corpses could not find any weapons, after all, even the weapons on the two most recent corpses had been corroded, and it was impossible for the other two corpses to gain anything, so it was better to save some effort.
"This eldest brother, the younger brother is also forced to do this kind of disrespectful thing to your old man, and I hope that the eldest brother will not blame him." I whispered to the skeleton in front of me.
As I spoke, I crouched down. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and grabbed one of the ribs on the bones. With a slight force on my hand, I broke off my ribs.
Looking at the rib in his hand, one end is big and the other is small, the big one is already a little rotten, and the small one should still look sharp.
Before humans mastered smelting technology, they relied on polishing stones and animal bones to make weapons in order to survive in the harsh environment of primitive society.
At present, due to the limited conditions in the cemetery, I can only use local materials, and I have to make such a disrespectful act of disrespect.
I thought about it for a moment and broke two ribs off the bones again.
After breaking off the three ribs, I polished them slightly on the bluestone slab of the tomb and made them into a bone knife.
"Take this for self-defense." After standing up, I handed the two bone knives that had been polished to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue respectively, and said.
"Ah...... I don't want to use this for self-defense, Zhang Sansan, you hurry up and take away such a disgusting thing. Xiao Yue was taken aback by the bone knife I handed over, and said with a disgusted expression.
After speaking, his mouth was still retching, and his face instantly turned pale, obviously a little difficult to accept such a thing as a bone knife.
Although Li Huiyan didn't speak, looking at her frowning appearance, it was obvious that she had no way to accept the use of human ribs as a self-defense weapon.
Seeing the performance of the two, I was a little helpless, thinking to myself that you think I don't feel disgusting, if it weren't for the fact that there was really nothing else to be found in this tomb, who would want to use this thing as a weapon.
"Okay, then I'll put the bone knife aside, and you can pick it up later if you can get used to it. I'm going to try to kill the ghost-faced spider now, but I'm not sure I'll be able to kill it. You refuse to defend yourself with bone knives, and if you encounter any danger, I dare not guarantee that you will still have the energy to protect you. ”
I placed the two bone knives on the ground and said what I wanted to say.
Now that I have to deal with a ghost-faced spider that I have never encountered before, I have no idea in my heart.
If this ghost-faced spider is really invulnerable, I am afraid that I will be provoked by me and launch a surge, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, where can I take care of Li Huiyan and the two of them.
Hearing this, Li Huiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and picked up the two bone knives.
"Xiao Yue, take it, now that the tomb is so dangerous, we must also learn to protect ourselves, and we can't rely on Zhang for three years to protect us at all times." Li Huiyan handed one of the bone knives to Xiao Yue and said softly.
"Okay."
Xiao Yue still looked disgusted, and when she saw the bone knife in front of her, she retched even more. It's just that after hearing Li Huiyan's words, she finally nodded and took the bone knife with a pale face.
Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed towards the cobwebs again.
When I got to the giant spider web, and saw the ghost-faced spider the size of a basin up close, my legs were still a little weak.
If I don't get it right in one hit, I'm probably going to die.
If you want to say that this ghost-faced spider is harmless, gentle and cute, I don't believe it if I am killed, and the four bones that were wrapped into mummies and sucked up blood alive are the best negative teaching materials.
The ghost-faced spider coiled in the webs was sleeping soundly, and now was the perfect time to do it.
My heart raced, I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and stabbed the bone knife in my hand into the back of the ghost-faced spider.
However, just as I was about to stab the ghost-faced spider in the back with a bone knife, the ghost-faced spider, which had been sleeping, suddenly woke up.
It raised its head and looked at me with a grimace the size of a fist, and I was stiff for a moment, and the bone knife in my hand hung motionless in the air, unable to stab.
It's over, I feel a burst of despair, this ghost-faced spider doesn't wake up sooner or later, but at this time it woke up, it's like killing people.
However, just when I thought the ghost-faced spider would attack me without hesitation, it only repositioned itself on the web, and then continued to stare at me with its head tilted.
I don't know if it's because of illusion, but I actually feel that the appearance of this ghost-faced spider looks a little inexplicably sad.
I even had a feeling that it wasn't trying to attack me, but begging me for mercy.
The murderous ghost-faced spider begged me for mercy? How is this possible?
After reacting, even I myself was taken aback by this thought in my heart, and secretly said that it was not the grimace on this ghost-faced spider and the hypnotic effect.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this explanation should be correct, but fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have really wanted to follow its path.
It's just that I was a little puzzled by the fact that the ghost-faced spider could have taken a bite on my arm just now, when I was so frightened that my whole body stiffened, but it didn't do that.
"Is it because of this grimace birthmark on my back that it thinks I'm one of its own?"
I whispered to myself, but I didn't dare to relax my guard against the ghost-faced spider, and after taking two steps back, I continued to stare at it.
I made up my mind that if this ghost-faced spider really wanted to attack me, I would say nothing and be killed.
The ghost-faced spider still didn't move, staring at me motionless with that horrible grimace.
Of course, I refused to show weakness, and stared at it fiercely with wide eyes, and for a moment a man and a spider were staring at it in this dim tomb.
"Zhang Sansan, what are you doing, why don't you do anything to it." Not far away, Xiao Yue was already waiting a little impatiently, and shouted at me.
Hush......
I turned to her and gestured to her to keep quiet.
"This big brother, we just want to borrow a way, and we don't mean to hurt you. We have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, we should have not violated the river water in the well, right, if you are willing to agree to let us go, we promise not to hurt you in the slightest. ”
Turning around again, I said to the ghost-faced spider like a ghost, for some reason.
Every time I looked at that grimace for a second, my whole body felt cold, and the short moment of staring at the ghost-faced spider seemed as long as hundreds of years.
Right now, I just hope that this ghost-faced spider has become a spirit and can understand what I say.
The ghost-faced spider didn't react, still staring at me motionless.
The next moment, the ghost-faced spider, which had been motionless, suddenly moved, and quickly crawled on the spider's web. I didn't know what it was going to do, so I just stood by and watched silently.
After a few moments, the ghost-faced spider stopped moving, and without warning, opened its mouth to bite a web-woven spider silk into its mouth.
I saw that the ghost-faced spider's mouth kept chewing, and the long spider silk began to be swallowed by it.
In just a few moments, the huge cobwebs that were originally blocking the tomb were swallowed up by the ghost-faced spider, and its entire body swelled more than twice, becoming the size of a millstone.
At this moment, I was a little dumbfounded, this thing suddenly grew so big, I was a little caught off guard.
Looking at that head, I don't have the slightest desire to kill it.
Not to mention whether the teeth of the ghost-faced spider are highly poisonous, even if it is such a big head, it will kill a person if it is bitten, and it will have to be cut off if you don't say anything.
Just when I was in doubt and secretly wondering whether to turn around and run away, the ghost-faced spider that had already landed on the ground made another surprising move.
I saw it suddenly raise one leg and stuff it directly into its mouth.
The next moment, the ghost-faced spider pulled hard, and its entire leg was forcibly ripped off its body.
At the same time, there was a creepy rattling sound in my ears as the ghost-faced spider was eating its own legs.
I've never encountered anything like this, and the constant ringing of sound in my ears gives me goosebumps all over my body.
