Chapter 40: Escape from the Spider's Mouth (2)

"Kansa? What happened to him? ”

"Are we going to break through the tarantula swarm now and find the hole where we got out?"

"Yes, but we don't have a single weapon in our hands that we can safely break through, and the chances of success are not very high, maybe we will provoke the tarantula and die faster. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But I came up with a somewhat risky approach."

"How?"

Stern pointed to the stone walls on both sides and said, "I have observed, some of the stone walls here are made of uneven stone bricks, and we can use them to climb to the other end of the stone chamber and find out the direction of the hole, I estimate that it is more likely to be opened on the top of the stone chamber at the other end." ”

When Donnie heard of Stern's approach, he immediately expressed his doubts: "But tarantulas can also climb onto the stone wall, and if they are alarmed in the middle, won't they fall into the mouth of a tiger?" ”

This is Anne also questioned: "Let's not talk about whether the tarantula will attack, you see that the protrusion of the stone wall is so much, with our size, it should be difficult to hold on, and if we don't pay attention, there is a danger of falling to the ground." ”

"That's why we need Kansa! Have you forgotten? How did he fight the Mekong catfish with agility when he was in the moat, and did he help us pass through the ancient city walls? ”

Donnie was still confused after hearing this, although he roughly understood Stern's approach, then looked at Kansa, and then asked Stern: "Then what do you want Kansa to do?" Although Kansa is agile, he also needs to prevent a sudden attack by tarantulas! ”

Seeing that there was no objection, Stern explained his idea to Kansa in Khmer, and then said to Anne and Donnie: "We will hold the rope at the high point of the stone wall, and then Kansa can climb the other end of the rope to the opposite side of the stone wall first, and we will each carry a few torches, stay on the ground and follow him, and lead away the tarantula swarm, and use the torches to scare them away." Then Kansa found the hole and found a place on the stone wall to fix the other end of the rope, we climbed up the stone wall and made an easy zipline with a belt to avoid the tarantula in the air. I think as long as these tarantulas don't have the perverted bouncing power, we should be able to escape to the hole with limited time. ”

Donnie was surprised, "We're going to lure the tarantula away...... Wouldn't that be dangerous for us? ”

Stern shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's why I said it's a bit of a risky method, and now it's the equivalent of betting on Cansa's skill and luck, if he can find the hole without alarming the tarantula, then we'll be safe." If you are unfortunate enough to provoke a tarantula counterattack, you can only rush out with the torch in your hand, at least there is a chance of life than staying here. ”

Anne listened to Stern's steps, nodded again and again, and said, "I think Stern's method can be tried." However, Anne spread her hands again: "However, we don't seem to have that long rope in our equipment, so we left most of the rope in the jungle before entering Samsara City." ”

Stern seemed to have expected Anne to ask this, tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, there are still here in Kansa." ”

After saying that, he instructed Kansa in Khmer, Kansa understood, his swarthy face showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and then in the surprised eyes of Donnie and Anne, he pulled out a piece of hemp rope with the thickness of a tail finger from his waist like a trick.

Stern also pulled out a piece of hemp rope from his waist, and then said proudly: "I had a premonition that something was going to happen during this expedition, so I asked Kansa to prepare a piece of hemp rope that could be used to save life at a critical moment and roll it around my waist before leaving." However, I can't wrap too much on my body, which will increase the burden, so I only prepared a five-meter section for each person. ”

Downey was taken aback for a while, and looked at Stern in front of him carefully, showing an expression of admiration, thinking that this was indeed what Stern would do.

Stern then began to lead Kansa to a stone wall, communicating all the details with him in Khmer, while Anne and Donnie prepared a few more skull torches, just in time to use up the cobweb they were in, which meant that they had no way to retreat.

Led by Stern, Anne and Donnie leaned back against the stone wall and approached the dark eye little by little. This was the first time they had taken the initiative to approach an unknown dangerous creature in a planned way, so they couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and their eyes were staring around a little by little as the firelight pushed forward. Kansa, on the other hand, had already climbed with his bare hands to a height of 6 meters, and he climbed forward at a similar pace as Stern.

Moving forward for more than ten meters, there was only the click of three people stepping on the ground and breaking bones in the air, and the occasional clatter in the darkness, which made them more and more nervous, plus they were far away from the small wall of fire they had lit that was about to be extinguished, and the surroundings were slowly swallowed up by darkness, and the red eyes of the bulb in front of them looked more and more crazy......

After walking for a few more minutes, Kansa suddenly muttered, "I... I seem to see one of the legs of that giant tarantula! ”

"Shh......h Be quiet, don't talk! In fact, Stern, who was walking in the front, saw it earlier, and the dim light of the fire just illuminated the forelimbs of a tarantula with calves thick and full of fluff in the darkness, which stretched forward in a curved arch, and the highest point was just to Stern's chest, indicating that the tarantula was indeed a behemoth!

When they got closer, they could see the whole picture of the giant tarantula: a giant tarantula with a head and chest about the size of a half-sized calf was lying motionless in the middle of the stone chamber, and the eight blood-red eyes the size of three bulbs were its own, and its eight long legs were scattered on the ground. And the most terrifying thing is that its back and tail are covered with dense fist-sized little tarantulas! Around the giant tarantula, a dozen basin-sized tarantulas crawled around the giant tarantulas, and they suddenly retreated into the darkness without warning after feeling the light of fire, and the clatter in the air became more rapid, as if to send a warning signal.

Anne almost lost her grip at the sight of this unbelievable scene, and Downey had already been covered by Stern, though he didn't know if the tarantula could hear it. The scene with the giant tarantula meeting was completely different from the picture Stern had envisioned, and he had no idea that the tarantula swarm would appear in front of them in such a way.

After making sure that the tarantula was not moving, Stern looked up and gestured to Kansa above, Kansa immediately fixed one end of the rope, and then sped up and quickly crawled into the darkness, and a few minutes later there was an agreed whistle in the darkness, indicating that Kansa had found the hole entrance.

"You two climb the stone wall and follow the rope!" Stern whispered.

Somewhere went wrong, the sudden intensification of the clatter in the darkness alerted Stern. Seven or eight large tarantulas followed, and without warning, they suddenly burst out of the darkness and were less than five meters away from Stern, a pair of forelimbs rubbing against each other and making a high-frequency clattering sound, as if to warn them to stay away from their nest.

Stern thought to himself, this is going to anger them, but he didn't expect them to evolve into a social group like ants, which is good, not only treating them as prey, but also as enemies invading the nest! After saying that, Stern urged the two in front of him to quickly fasten the belt and follow the rope to find the hole and escape, and he waved the torch in his hand, constantly igniting the nearby cobwebs to prevent the tarantula from getting closer, and then climbed up along the stone wall, took out the belt and prepared to escape.

The light of the fire seemed to alarm the other tarantulas in the nest, and the tarantulas with large basins gathered more and more, and finally even crushed the fire that Stern had lit, but by this time Stern had already climbed to the position of the rope and pulled the leash, and Downey and Annie had slipped all the way to the mouth of the cave with the leash.

Several large tarantulas were about to climb to Stern's feet, Stern stabbed and slipped out along the rope, because of the weight down, Stern was almost no more than three meters above the ground, and several large tarantulas almost jumped up and knocked down Stern on the way.
