Chapter 36: Burrowing Tarantulas
I couldn't answer the fat man's question, I had only one thought in my mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info accidentally trampled on two of them, and this smell made a few of them keep a distance from me, intentionally or unintentionally. If it's all this stuff down there, even if we can kill some of them and get out of here, then the smell won't smoke us to death.
But after thinking about it, he calmed down, and the smell of the Ninth Fierce Baby seemed to be still wafting through his nose. This taste is nothing compared to the taste of the Ninth Fierce Baby.
It just makes me wonder how these things that live in the pile of dead leaves survive the murderous things of the Ninth Murder Baby? And there are quite a few of them, even more than the corpse-eating ants.
It's just that the next scene didn't have time for me to think about these unbelievable things anymore, and the pile of dead leaves that had been tumbling for a long time finally stopped. Countless half-human-tall spiders quickly converged from the pile of dead leaves towards where we had landed.
Along the way, there were bursts of dead leaves, and at the same time, it also brought a breath of despair. The four of us picked up our guns, and we had to fight to the death back to back. These spiders are relatively large and numerous, and even with their eyes closed, bullets will not miss.
While these terrifying spider swarms had not yet arrived, we had some free time to observe. These spiders were covered with hair, and their bodies and feet were covered with black, white, and brown fur. The whole body is grayish-black and grayish-brown, with black and white radial spots in the middle, but the sides of the abdomen are yellowish-white, and there are six pairs of yellowish-white spots on the back, a bit like the ring scar on the monk's head. These spiders range in size, from the largest being half a man tall and half a meter long, to the smallest being the size of an adult's palm. I think the two that I trampled to death before should be small, and even the small ones look very scary. After all, the spiders the size of thumbs are already considered big when they see spiders in daily life, and I am sure that most people's first reaction when they see spiders the size of a palm is to run.
The fat man picked up his pistol and was about to shoot at the spider swarm in front of him, but was stopped by Cui Linghong again. The fat man muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't tell me that these spiders are also cultural relics, and they must also be protected." You just said that these spiders are living fossils in the dinosaur period, and today the fat man is going to kill them. The fat man looked murderous, still holding the gun, but he never pulled the trigger. I pulled the fat man and signaled him not to get excited and see what Cui Linghong had to say.
Sure enough, I saw that Cui Linghong didn't bother with the fat man, and pointed to the spider in front of him and said, "These are burrowing tarantulas with a gentle temperament." If you don't attack them, they shouldn't attack us either. Although these spiders are carnivorous spiders, they prey on small herbivores. It's just that I've never seen such a big burrowing tarantula, and the largest burrowing tarantula is only twenty or thirty millimeters, and it will grow so big here. I don't know how they survived here. ”
"I was thinking about how the hell they survived here. Along the way, there are only three creatures here, the giant piranha in the waterhole, the ninth murder baby on the branch, the empress leech who has only seen one, and these spiders are only four creatures. The giant piranha in the waterhole will definitely not be eaten by them, and the Ninth Murder Baby has been in the jade coffin, and the possibility of being eaten by them is very small. Then only the Empress Leech remains, but the Empress Leech is so small and extremely difficult to find, can it really fill so many burrowing tarantulas? There were more and more burrowing tarantulas in front of me, and the scalps of the people who were watching densely were numb, so I turned my head and stopped looking at the burrowing tarantula in front of me, and asked rhetorically.
"So there's also the possibility that there are other food sources here that can solve the problem of survival for these burrowing tarantulas. It's just that these burrowing tarantulas are no longer normal tarantulas, and you can see that their eyes have completely degenerated, and only two decorative spots remain. I'm not sure if these mutant burrowing tarantulas will be the first to attack, so let's stay vigilant. Cui Linghong frowned, as if he couldn't tell what kind of creatures these spiders were now.
"You say they're all blind, so as long as we don't move and don't make a sound, won't they be able to find our existence?" The skinny monkey shrunk his shoulders, hid behind us, and asked in a low voice.
"Although these burrowing tarantulas have lost their vision, at the same time their sense of hearing, smell, and touch will definitely become more acute. Therefore, it should not be underestimated, and it is more tricky to exchange visual degradation for the other three aspects of evolution. I looked at the more and more burrowing tarantulas in front of me, and suddenly thought, "You said they were coming towards us, did they smell those two companions?" ”
"Quite possibly, judging by the number of these burrowing tarantulas. We should have entered their territory a long time ago, and there has been no movement before, and there is indeed a high probability that you will trample two of them to death, and then they will be restless. "When Cui Linghong spoke, the burrowing tarantula that was fighting with us had already begun to climb up the tree.
The fat man didn't care about 3721, and at the moment he shot a few shots to knock down these burrowing tarantulas who were the first to climb the tree. These few burrowing tarantulas that were killed were instantly eaten by other members of the same kind who crawled over, and then more and more burrowing tarantulas crawled towards us.
"We didn't expect these burrowing tarantulas to devour their companions. No wonder there are so many of them, and they come in different sizes. Cui Linghong suddenly realized, and said while shooting the burrowing tarantula that climbed into the tree with a gun.
"Don't fight, you can't finish fighting. Let's get out of here. I shouted loudly while covering them. There are so many burrowing tarantulas here that if you rely on just four guns, you might not be able to shoot even half of all the bullets. What's more, our bullets are the most depleted equipment, and it is impossible for us to take out all the burrowing tarantulas.
We can only fight and retreat. Fortunately, the ancient trees here are criss-crossed, and the trunks are often not hugged by several people. We ran as fast as we could, but we were steady. I opened the way in front, Cui Linghong followed closely behind me, and the fat man was in charge of the rear of the palace.
Behind us, the burrowing tarantulas chased in the direction of our escape. Soon the fat man's magazine was empty, and I threw all my pistols and rifles to the fat man as I ran. Because I had to open the way, and there were a lot of vine plants in front of me, I rarely used a gun. Generally, they are armed with a dagger and use great speed to cut down the vine plants that stand in the way in front of them, opening a relatively quick road. Most of the plants here are withered, and the difficulty is not too great.
Occasionally, I encountered burrowing tarantulas crawling in front of me, and I was afraid that the smell would attract more burrowing tarantulas, so I just cut off a few of their legs and kicked them into the pile of dead leaves under the tree.
I ran all the way like this, and I don't know how long it took. When everyone was almost exhausted, the agitation behind me was getting louder and louder, and I didn't bother to look back at the situation, and I desperately opened the way in front along the way.
But suddenly I heard the fat man after birth shouting: "Don't run, everyone, stop first." There is a case in the back! ”
