Chapter 31: Killing the Spider
Belgoust is not as crowded as Naciquet, but it is more prosperous. As the crossroads of three trade routes, Belgoust had a large number of hotels and a thriving business.
The weapons manufacturing industry developed under the support of Naxikai iron ore also has a scale far exceeding that of Naxikai. Among them, there is also the famous "Thunder Hammer Iron Shop" in the game, Lu Yuan also went to visit it, but it came out in disgrace.
Black! It's so dark!
A good full-body armor costs 9,000 gold coins! A fast-winding enchanted crossbow for 9,000 gold!
A +1 enchanted shortbow costs 600 gold, and a bag of +1 enchanted arrows costs 300 gold!
After the last, Lu Yuan visited the treasure of the town store of Thor Iron Shop with admiration - Shadow Armor, which is said to be the leather ring armor used by the Shadow Kings of Am, priced at 16,000 gold coins!
I'll go! Goldfingers are useful! You have to learn a skill by yourself! Filling up a skill is just as good as the last time you went to college! You might as well give me a money modifier, bastard! Lu Yuan had already overturned several coffee tables in his heart, and he also knew that he was the wailing of a defeated dog, and he could only buy half a dozen spears and a gold coin in a stupid way, which was more expensive than other places, but we just like famous brands!
When we have money, we will wear two sets of armor and wear no one! Mages can't wear full-body armor, let's collect and preach! But if we are really rich, why buy armor, buy a mage tower to summon angels, succubi, and enchantresses to play with imprisonment and training to cultivate ghost animals. He was mentally unbalanced, but he ignored the fact that the "dragon scale chain armor cedar" woven by the small shell of the digging insect or the "pterodactyl skin exchangeable armor adventure suit" on his body were better and more expensive than the full-body armor.
And his "Cloud Chopping" sword, that's an excellent weapon, is it good!
To the north of Nasikai is Bergoust, and to the north of Belgost is the Friendly Arm Hotel, and further north of the Friendly Arm is Baldur's Gate, one of the two largest cities in Sword Bay.
If you arrive at the Arm of Friendship Inn in the spring of 1369, you will meet an old dwarf lady named Landreen. Her home is infested by spiders, and she had hoped to go to Baldur's Gate to buy some insecticides, but due to physical reasons, she had to stay at the Friendly Arm, and she would seek the help of adventurers.
Her home is next to the Belgost Joy Entertainer's Hotel, and the spider that occupies her house is the giant poisonous spider that Lu Yuan is looking for to make a crossbow.
It was now the late autumn of 1368, but Lu Yuan had gone to the old lady's house to investigate, and it had become a spider's nest, which was inhabited by about four large spiders and a leader.
I opened the slightly scattered yard and looked around. The last time Lu Yun came to investigate, he walked on the roof, and he didn't pay any specific attention to it below. First of all, it was confirmed that there were no other exits around, and the windows and doors of the houses were nailed, and when Lu Yuan approached, with his listening skills, he could roughly tell that there were two leaning near the door, and the other was in the basement.
Lu Yuan first laid two simple traps made of steel wire and nails at the door, slapped the "door sealing technique" on the door, and then moved a large stone to top the part of the door slightly outward. In fact, the easiest way to kill spiders is to use fireball magic, those cobwebs or something inside are flammable items, my "Five Fireball Divine Cult" is so powerful, take the "Fireball Magic Staff" and throw five fireballs in a row to ensure that they are all done! Of course, the house was also done.
Through the door, you could hear the spider crawling over, apparently hearing a sound. Before Lu Yuan could react, there was a stabbing sound, and a spider leg as thick as a thigh pierced the wooden door and stabbed directly in Lu Yuan's chest.
Lu Yuan only felt that his eyes were black for a moment, all he saw was Venus, and he was suffocating with a thousand catties of weight on his chest. But Lu Yuan's chest can be filled with thick armor pieces, although the pressure is a little more for a moment, but he is unharmed, just sitting on a butt squat.
The spider leg covered with black hair like steel thorns began to swing, the opportunity could not be missed, Lu Yuan endured the sharp pain in his chest and threw the steel wire in his hand, when the steel wire was wrapped around the spider leg, Lu Yuan used all his strength to retreat, and then stuck the wire on the big stone.
There was a crackling sound behind the door, and the big spider was dragged against the door, one spider leg was stuck outside the door, and the other legs were stuck at the base of the leg without any force. Lu Yuan stepped back and gasped for a few breaths, only to feel that his lungs were like knives cutting through. He picked up the spear that had been placed on the side and stabbed it into the base of the spider's leg.
There were a few small holes in the door that had been pierced by the hard tips of the spider's legs, and it was another large spider. Lu Yuan pulled out his spear, and the dark green spider body fluids spurted out like a spring, stabbed and pulled out again, and after a few times, the spider's legs wrapped in steel wire hung down weakly.

Two lines of holographic information flashed in front of my eyes.
"Sister you!"
He unfastened the wire and placed the lasso directly above the hole in the door panel. Turning the spear and using the wooden pole, the dead spider was pushed inward, and the loose spider leg was drawn in as the torso fell. Another giant spider was whirling anxiously because it couldn't see its prey. As soon as he saw the hole exposed, he immediately squeaked and stretched out a big claw, waving it aimlessly, trying to poke Lu Yuan.
This time Lu Yuan was prepared, and as soon as the wire was pulled, the lasso tied the claws of the huge spider and pulled it to the edge of the door panel. Lu Yuan stabbed with his spear again, not wanting to reach directly into the spider's mouth, and was bitten in two with a click, and the name brand of the Nimare hammer was not powerful! Lu Yuan dodged in a cold sweat, replaced a spear and continued to stab it through the gap in the door panel, and after a few times, he finally killed this one.
After killing this one, the remaining three in the basement all lay in the corner and pretended to disappear, apparently waiting to land and enter the trap. Although Lu Yuan couldn't see, with level 5 listening, he could still roughly determine the location of the spider.
If the three spiders pounced together at this time, the door sealing technique could not be stopped, even Lu Yuan would have to flee and find the town guards to solve it. Now that the spider was stupidly waiting for him to take the bait, he immediately seized the time and began to strengthen the door layer by layer with iron nails and planks. The door was already crumbling after two big spiders tossed and swayed.
When the doors and windows were reinforced, the three big spiders were still very patient and lurking.
Cast the two-ring spell "Magic Rope Technique" on the tightrope, and then cast the "Level 1 Summoning Monster" spell, and actually summoned a Celestial Monkey! Under Lu Yuan's command, the monkey squeaked and jumped around with an unusually active squeak, stretched out its paws into the doorway and provoked, and immediately mocked two of the big spiders who couldn't help it.
The monkey turned around and ran, and Lu Yuan relied on the doorway Dafa and the steel wire magic rope to kill the two giant spiders again.
He ran up in three or two steps, and was about to untie the tightrope when a strong wind struck.
Lu Yuan rolled sideways to avoid the sharp big turtle, and the largest giant spider at the back of the claw did not stop, and slammed it back, and the door that had already been half destroyed was completely shattered into pieces, and the big black spider that was one person tall rushed out with smoke and dust.
The spider rushed too fast, but jumped directly from the trap arranged by Lu Yuan and did not step on it. Lu Yuan grabbed the last spear left and rushed over, the spider swept away, and the crooked spear was not stabbed in the head and stuck in the crack of the carapace.
"Ah!!!!h Lu Yuan's feet were forceful, his whole body muscles were tense, and he used his body to resist the handle of the spear and push it hard. The spider had just pounced, and only two of its six legs were on the ground. Lu Yuan supported it with all his strength, and the spider's center of gravity was unstable and took a small half step back, and his hind limbs were scratched on the tightrope of the trap.
Only two sounds of "boom, boom" were heard, and the trap was touched, and more than a dozen half-meter-long steel drills shot into the spider's soft abdomen. In an instant, rancid green juice squirted out like a waterfall!
Lu Yuan let go of the spear, drew his sword and retreated to the gate of the courtyard. The big spider chased it a few steps forward before it swooped to the ground, and a few seconds later, the loss of bodily fluids killed it.

The red and bright fireplace burned, outlining the lines of light and darkness on Lu Yuan's face.
There were no other spiders in the old lady's room, and after Lu Yuan cleaned up, he took out the silk sac of the big spider and put it away. Then the local guards were notified to wrap it up. At the price of 1,000 gold coins plus 5 bags + 1 crossbow arrows, the Thunderhammer Iron Shop took away the corpses of five large spiders. The shell can be made into good inlaid leather armor, the venom can be used to make poison arrows, and the hard claw tips can also be processed into something special, and they don't lose money in this business.
The town's guards also offered 300 gold coins and allowed him to temporarily live in the old lady's house as a reward for cleaning up the monsters in the town, of course, this bill still has to be found to be responsible.
The spider was the basement of the room where it first appeared, but after Lu Yuan and the captain of the guard checked, they didn't find any other tunnels, only a few broken spider eggs. Apparently someone picked up something they shouldn't have brought back. After the spiders hatched, they grew up on food stored in the basement and then began to attack the humans who lived in the houses.
If it weren't for Lu Yuan, sooner or later they would have broken down the doors and windows and used the entire town as their hunting ground.
Lu Yuan remembered that the mission items needed the corpse of the largest spider, a pair of rag shoes, and a bottle of wine. When he found the bottle, he was stunned by the bright red. The knowledge test told him that this bottle of red wine in an ordinary bottle was a horsehead red wine produced in the Fallen Star Sea, and it was worth a thousand gold!
The dead spider corpse weighed hundreds of kilograms, and I didn't know how to bring it over. Lu Yuan took one eye as proof, and handed over the rest to Thunder God Iron Shop. Although Lu Yuan himself also needed materials, since he had dealt with more than a dozen digging insects, he had the urge to smash a fireball into them and burn them all out when he saw them.
