Chapter 7: Purple Spiders
There are many spiders, but any creature that falls into their webs, even if they are of the same kind, will eat them. The most ferocious of these are the purple spiders, a new species of spiders that change their predation direction due to the discovery that the flesh and blood of their own species are more delicious. They only eat spiders, which are other species of their kind.

A complete set of skeletons hangs from a wooden stake in the center, the nails of the hanging skeleton are nailed directly above a purple spider pattern, and behind the stake is a large cauldron, the dark bottom of which tells people that it has entered the old age of the pot. The green grass in the muddy land is already knee-high, and I still don't forget to maintain the enthusiasm to rush to the sky. There are more than a dozen nomadic tents around it, and each tent is painted with a unique symbol of the people here - a large purple spider. Further on the periphery are the woods, their lush foliage reflecting a glittering metallic glow.
The blind woman on the White-Eyed Man's back tightened her arms around the White-Eyed Man's neck, as if to prevent him from entering this dangerous destination. Even I could see the reflection of eerie metal armor on the trees on the periphery. And he was like a stupid hat who was going to walk in.
"They're waiting for you to go in, there's a trap there!" The blind woman whispered to him on his back.
"I know." This stupid hat knows how to take risks! He slowly lowered the blind girl from his back and sat her down behind a big tree, "You just have to watch here, and I'll come to you when I'm done." With that, he turned around and walked towards the settlement, which was obviously a trap.
The blind girl grabbed the corner of his clothes, "If you insist on going, you must sit down and listen to me first!" ”
She tugged at the corner of the white-eyed man's coat, motioned for him to sit across from her, and stretched her arms straight in one direction, "A hundred paces from here to the settlement, there are two people, and there are three people on it, probably in a tree." I looked in the direction of her arm, and through the dense foliage, I could see the reflection of a little bit of metal armor, and as she said, she could feel the malice of others.
"Fifteen paces from here to the present sun, there are three of them," she said, pausing for a moment as she paused on the ground with a branch, as if to feel something. In the direction of this person's twenty steps to the south, there is malice from the underground, and there are still three people hiding underground! She accurately drew the general direction and number of enemies to the people in front of her, drawing a small circle on the ground for each enemy, and finally drew forty-five!
"Be careful." After her final command, he didn't even say a "hmm", stood up and strode towards the settlement.
Between the strides, a dagger flashed in his hand, less than ten steps away from the first wave of enemies that the blind girl had said, and the dagger in his hand was gone. Behind the tree, two people in strange armor, one with a crossbow arrow and the other with a scimitar, just jumped out to find that the three accomplices on the tree were falling from the sky and smashing at them, and the two of them watched with a surprised expression of "Wow, they are smashing blood" at the three unlucky guys, and then the unlucky ones turned from three to five. The three people who were supposed to be lying in ambush in the tree were each hit by a dagger, and the two unlucky people who were hit in the throat and were smashed to the ground by the "flying" white-eyed man before they could understand what was going on. The three daggers that had been plunged into the enemy's throat were all recovered by him in less than half a second, and he stabbed two people on the ground.
The dagger returned to its original sword sac, and the short knife suddenly came out of its sheath, revealing the power of the blood-red short sword, which doubled his majesty.
Ten sharp crossbow arrows suddenly shot out of the tent. The short knife was raised horizontally, and a crossbow arrow was forced down by him, making a deafening "dang" sound, and another branch grazed his arm and brought out a bloody mark.
The pitch-black eyes suddenly turned gray and terrifying in anger, and the smooth skin suddenly gave birth to layers of scales, muscles that seemed to store the power of the entire universe erupted, and a huge wing with snow-white scales spread out behind it as if it had been transformed.
Another wave of crossbow bolts shot out from two different tents, crossing in a cross shape, densely blocking almost all the directions that could be dodged. One jump is four people tall, with wings stretched and standing in the air. As if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, three more people leaped out of the tent as if something was ejecting them, and rushed straight into the air. As if he had been prepared for a long time, the short knife pointed straight at him, his wings flapped, and he rushed straight at the three of them, his wings raised high, and the short knife stabbed the throat of the middle one, and the solid and scaly scales slapped down and slapped the two people on both sides into the dirt. The dirt instantly turned red.
Ten men rushed out of the tents on both sides, each carrying a crossbow arrow in his hand, a crossbow arrow on his back, and a scimitar hanging from his waist. Crossbow arrows are different from bows and arrows, their penetrating power is amazing, and powerful crossbow arrows often fly for 100 meters without diminishing their power. A single crossbow arrow can easily pierce several unarmored soldiers at such a close distance.
He was like the embodiment of light, quickly dodging at a speed comparable to a crossbow arrow, and more than 20 people on the ground, after the crossbow arrow in his hand was shot, he had no intention of reloading the crossbow arrow, and threw away the crossbow arrow in his hand, and immediately pulled out the crossbow arrow on his back for a new round of shooting. As if the gravity had doubled, he smashed to the ground in an instant, and filled the enemy group with a swooping momentum, and the domineering crossbow arrows immediately lost their advantage in the state of melee between the enemy and the enemy, and the flying crossbow arrows shot at the poor insects on the trees behind him who wanted to carry out a sneak attack. The bright scimitars at their waists came in handy at once.
Their armor is very special, the helmet has two inward-facing mirrors that completely cover the eyes and reflect the gaze behind them at a certain angle, and two more mirrors on the back of the back, which are erected on the shoulders to reflect the reflected gaze forward again. The same tactics used by Perseus against Medusa in mythology.
His body is level with the ground, and he shuttles through the crowd like a swift, and ordinary people can't capture his movements at all, but there are no ordinary people in this world, and all people are getting stronger in order to live, not to mention an organization like the Purple Spider that specializes in preying on the strong. In the face of his wind-like speed, they could barely resist it!
More than twenty people quickly gathered in a circle back to back, desperately defending the white-eyed people who swooped down on them from all angles.
But he was not happy, when he attacked this circle of people, from time to time someone would jump down from a tree and attack him, if it wasn't for the blind girl who had already told him the location of these people, according to the tricky position where they were hiding, even if he did not die, he would be injured.
The attack and the attack continued one after another, and the circle of more than 20 people back to back quickly shrank to 10 people, and then the large circle became a small circle, and the small circle changed to a small circle. His attacker was also beheaded with a knife after the attack failed.
During this time, he also knocked off the helmet of one of them, and after the helmet fell and saw the person in his eyes turn into a white-eyed monster, the scales growing on his body would be squarely embedded in the notches of the cuffs, and then, as if touching some mechanism, a large piece of artery would suddenly appear on the back of his neck. That way, he can't turn anyone into a white-eyed monster who can help him. If before, his kill count was an explosion function of an "J" shape, now his kill count is slowly adding up one by one.
The people who jumped down from the trees were cut down by him one by one, and the guys in the circle in the center also fell under his repeated dives. He counted them one by one. It wasn't until all the people in his field of vision were cleared by him that he counted to forty-one.
The blind girl told her that there were three more people down there, and that there was another one in the tree by the side of the road that she had returned the way she had come
He landed slowly, the soles of his feet touching the ground, and suddenly the ground collapsed, and three guys with spears in their hands suddenly struck from the ground, if they hadn't known it a long time ago, this blow must have been fatal. He uses wings as blades, and short knives are even more bloodthirsty and sharp. The last one was disposed of in two clicks.
Looking back at the blind girl, the blind girl was shooting something with a stone. Her foot was injured, and although she was moving towards him, she couldn't walk fast.
The last person! He probably didn't hide to deal with him in the first place!
He hurriedly flew up from the big pit he had collapsed, but found a large net covering the pit and wrapped him tightly! His hands and feet were encased in the net, and it became extremely difficult to wield the short knife, and he struggled to swing and slash out of the net, but it seemed that it would take some time.
The last man, as nimble as a monkey, quickly dodged the blind girl's stones, probably because the blind girl had no eyesight, and the stones hit her eyes one by one. Despite dodging, the blind girl was able to pierce a rabbit's left ear to the right ear with a stone twenty meters away, and finally the mirror in front of the eye on the man's helmet was broken by the blind girl's broken eye, and the eye was pierced by the broken lens fragment, and she could never open it again. But the remaining eyes still guided him to the sky above the blind woman, and put a bottle of gray powder on the blind girl. The blind girl slapped off the powder scattered on her body in a panic, and continued to use the stone to fight back against the guy who was dodging back and forth on the tree, but the guy seemed to have no intention of staying, and fled in a smoke. As he smirked back, he came across a pair of scaly white wings, and a blood-colored dagger took his name before he could react.
Forty-five, forty-five people who had been carefully ambushed turned into forty-five corpses. Each corpse had a large purple spider tattooed on the back of its hand. Forty-five hands, like ninety dead spiders, terrifying, desolate.
The huge wings suddenly became smaller and disappeared, the scales on his body turned into smooth skin as if they had never appeared, and his gray-white eyes gradually changed to the color of night. He stopped in front of the blind girl and looked at her carefully.
"I'm fine" The blind girl seemed to get used to his bad words.
"You seem to be hurt, cough." The blind girl coughed and reached for the arm that had been cut before he could transform in the first place.
"It's fine." He glanced at his arm as if the wound wasn't his own.
The blind girl groped for the ground, groping for an area the size of a parlor, and finally found a plant with whitish leaves in a sunny spot, which she crumpled and squeezed out the juice to apply to his wound. He was silent, staring intently at the blind girl who had drugged him.
I don't know if it was the twilight of the setting sun that was red, or the two of them were red, but in short, they both blushed at the moment.
Well, perhaps, the blind girl's face is a little redder, yes, it is. The blind girl's breathing grew heavier, her face became more and more red, and the blind girl fell into his arms
