Chapter Seventy-Two: The Remnants of Tenotiran

Duck was shocked: "Who? who's talking in my head?"

The voice sounded like that of a fierce old woman: "Leave me alone, now walk along the left-hand wall, there is a hole in the wall." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Duck hurriedly climbed a few steps forward, and through the billowing smoke, he saw a large black shadow behind the thick spider silk, which seemed to be a hole.

"The spider silk is too thick to get by!"

"Back off. ”

As soon as Duck shrank back, two black and yellow chelicerae poked out of the hole, like two sharp scissors, cutting off all the spider silk.

"There are spiders!"

"It won't hurt you, get in there and follow!"

The ferocious fiery serpent swept in, and Duck had no choice, gritting his teeth and lowering his head to carry the girl into the hole.

He was confronted by a yellow-flowered spider with a black background that looked vicious and terrifying, but the spider did not attack him, and when he saw them coming in, he turned around and led the way.

The passage wasn't too wide, but Duck could crawl on all fours, quickly leaving the fire behind.

The old woman's voice sounded again: "Because of you stupid fellow, the whole cave is about to turn into a sea of fire, the young empress has lost its only shelter, and in the future she can only wag her tail and beg for mercy from monsters, and the last hope of the Tenantilan spider clan is over!"

"I don't know about the queen or anything, but the fire can be extinguished. ”

The voice said viciously, "Don't you know that spiders are afraid of fire?

Duck exclaimed, "No! Can you control them? Seal the mouth of the cave with spider silk, the thicker the better!"

"Stupid, spider silk is also afraid of fire!"

"It's you, stupid, why don't you just seal the narrowest part of the cave with spider silk?"

The voice stopped suddenly.

Duck relaxes his limbs and lies down to rest. Seeing that he didn't move, the little girl behind him was a little worried, and her little hand grabbed his shoulder again: "Huh?"

Duck smiled and patted the little hand: "I can't speak, I can only scream, just call you Enya." ”

"Uh-huh?"

"Yes," Duck tilted his head, baring eight teeth at the little girl on his back, "You, Enya. ”

The little girl was excited: "Mmmmmm

Duck smirked, this girl is obviously a naïve child when she doesn't bite, but what happened to the fierce old woman just now about what the Spider Queen and what kind of monster?

Could it be that it wasn't the Spider Empress who was controlling Tenotiran now, but the monster? The moss warriors guarding Tenotiran had fragments of the Tierekri Tree in their bodies, so they were the monster's men? What is the relationship between the Spider Empress and the monsters? What does her weakness mean? Who is this little girl? Who is the old woman who can control spiders? Could it be that she is the Spider Queen?

Duck had a question mark in his head, and a thought was floating in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it.

While thinking, the old woman spoke in his head again: "The fire has been extinguished. I should have eaten you as a punishment, and I thought that you would make up for your merits and spare your life. ”

Duck laughed, "Thank you, but can you find me a more spacious place to talk? I'm a human being who is used to walking upright. ”

The old woman said, "Climb forward for ten minutes." ”

"That's fine, but you'll have to give the little spider queen on my back - well, I should call it the little spider princess, find something to eat, and drink nosebleeds is definitely not the way to go. ”

The old woman did not respond, and after a long time, she said, "How do you know?"

Duck shrugged: "If she were an ordinary girl, she would have eaten it all up, wouldn't she? Just now, when the fire was lit, there was only a big, broken cocoon in the nest, and the cocoon shell was bitten from the inside, who else could there be? I couldn't see anything in the black holes around, but she could know the exact location of the two spiders' attacks—she could feel the vibrations from the spider silk, right?"

"That's all, she'll be scared when she sees spiders!"

Duck raised his voice, "That's because the attacker is bigger and stronger than her! Some species of spiders, when they first emerge from their cocoons, will quickly crawl onto their mother's back - even though I am a man." Well, now she's asleep. How could a human girl have such courage and determination when she was suddenly put into such an environment? In the end, she was cold all over, and she was still cold after being with me for so long. ”

The old woman said fiercely, "Even if you are right, so what? Do you want to threaten me with the little princess? Tell you, I can blow your head to pieces in no time!"

"No, you can't do it at all. You tried at first to keep us out of Tenotirán, and then suddenly changed your mind and tried to guide me here and save the little princess, which you would never have done if you could have done it all. This means that you need my help. Oh yes, 'fry' this way, I'm afraid spiders can't learn, I've never seen a fire-type spider - if you make a fire or something, it's going to be troublesome. Isn't it, Your Majesty?"

The old woman laughed loudly: "Sure enough, human beings, no matter how many thousand years have passed, it is still the same! There is a hall in front, go in, and I will tell you all the truth!"

Duck walked forward as he was told, and after a while, the passage in front widened, and he slipped through, and sure enough, a hall appeared. Inside, there was a flickering glow, and it was covered with the kind of glowing grass he had seen when he had fallen into the cavern.

"Can I light a fire? This flickering blue light makes my eyes uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, there isn't much spider silk here, and I've tried to keep it as it is, so I don't start a fire. ”

Duck clapped his hands and transformed the demon into the shape of a torch, and the head of the torch flashed red, and the warm red light illuminated the cold and lonely hall.

This is a simple and elegant hall, surrounded by more than a dozen spider statues, in the middle of the hall is a human statue, he is covered in sturdy armor, one hand is on a giant sword, the other hand is stretched into the distance, the eyes are blazing.

Darker said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's under Tenotiran right now, right?"

"This is the only safe place under Tenotiran - the tombs of the kings of the kingdom of Tenotiran. ”

"Isn't Tenotiran a city, and how is it a kingdom again?"

"Yes, three thousand years ago, it was indeed a small city, and then it grew in size, and when it fell two thousand five thousand years ago, it was already the only great power that ruled the entire southern jungle. ”

"So, how did such a powerful country come to be, and how did it perish? What does it have to do with the spiders? What exactly is a monster?"

"Don't worry, young man, start where you are standing now, slowly walk to the right, the murals on the walls will tell you everything. ”

Duck walked slowly to the wall, and found that there were some black murals of different shades on the wall—maybe not black at first, but the paint changed color over time and became what it is now.

"In the midst of the civil strife that devastated Tenotirán, more than 800 poor homeless people were protected here, and as a token of gratitude, the painter painted the history of the entire city on the wall. ”

"I see, but what is the civil strife that destroys the kingdom - well, let's not talk about it, I'll take a look. ”

Duck leaned down in front of the first mural: "This first painting is of three men and a group of men bowing to the sun at the same time? What are they lying around? a hairy stick, a segmented vertical stick, and a branched branch?"

"Wrong, it's a mukawit, a totem pole and a harpoon, symbolizing a powerful alliance of three rising tribes"

Duck was shocked: "Are those three tribes ......?"

"Yes, one of them rules the land, the swamp, and the river, and they are today called Atlas, Yanoma, and Citadel. This was the beginning of Tenotirán. ”
