Chapter 34 Getting Out of Trouble
"Rustle!" If it weren't for Lago's reminder, this sound that resembled fine sand sliding would have been easy to ignore, but after everyone around them quieted down, not only the thieves, but also the others heard the movement.
Everyone's expressions became tense again, there were too many dangers they had encountered in the past few days, and no one would take chances. The yin and yang fish pattern in Qin Lun's left eye spread slightly, gathering the perception beam of the gaze aura into a line as much as possible, and looking around in a circle.
"It's not just the top of the cave, it's the rock walls of this area that are full of those holes." Qin Lun's expression was a little solemn, and his eyes suddenly froze, "Wait, I really want to see something!" It's a spider, a spider the size of a fist...... There were so many of them, up and down, that we wanted to be surrounded. ”
"That's right, it's the eight-eyed spiders, they like this environment the most." Mastasia sighed, shook his head, and said, "I've encountered it once in the Northland cave before, but I didn't expect to encounter it again in my life. ”
"A swarm of spiders? Why do we never see cobwebs along the way? Rick and Winnie looked at each other in surprise.
"Eight-eyed spiders are an outlier among spiders, they can spin silk, but they can't weave webs." The Highland Elves said with a strange face, "They are different from most spiders, they are social creatures, and they rely on groups to hunt. Their spider silk is much stronger than ordinary spider silk, no less than steel silk, and the body fluids on it are very sticky, so you should be careful not to get stuck with too much spider silk. ”
"These ...... What talent magic does the eight-eyed spider use? Hill asked cautiously.
"No, they're not monsters and don't use magic." Mastasya looked at the relieved appearance of the crowd, and reminded with a wry smile, "Don't underestimate them, these creatures have sharp chelica teeth, cut gold and cut iron." The jumping ability is extremely strong, and there is a steel sticky wire, which is no less powerful than the dragon fly we encountered before. Although it does not have the talent field of dragon flies, the number of dragon flies is dozens of times. ”
“…… And the terrain here is not in our favor, except for the underground, we are almost surrounded by their lair. Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he added vigilantly.
"Shall we break forward or retreat?" Largo asked cautiously.
"Onward!" Mastasia's expression was very resolute, "Although the eight-eyed spider has no intelligence, it has a strong instinct to hunt for food. Because they arrange their nests in holes in stone walls, they usually release prey into the middle of the cave and then besiege it from all sides. In other words, the distance forward and backward is the same. ”
The group understood and retreated, returning to the lake where the ghost-faced squid lived, and then entering the troll's claw through the other canyon entrances. Since the distance is the same, it is better to keep going, the only risk is not to go the wrong way and run into the dead end of the cave.
"Eight-eyed spiders have four pairs of single eyes on their backs, which is where their name comes from. These little things have excellent eyesight and can see far in the dark, so don't try to avoid them, this time we'll have to rush out. Taking advantage of the last moment, Mastasha explained, "Fortunately, because they have lived in dark caves for many years, they are afraid of fire and light. If there are too many spiders in the way, Winnie and Rand use magic to disperse them. ”
"Got it!" Winnie and Rand agreed.
After making proper preparations, everyone finally began to break through. Qin Lun ran at the front, and he needed to use his reconnaissance skills to point everyone in the direction in advance. Two professionals who can use fire, Winnie and Rand split the two ends of the line, and at the back is Rick's broken back.
"Smack!" Qin Lun smashed an eight-eyed spider that pounced on him with a punch.
Perhaps because of the lack of natural predators, this spider lives in a cave and is the size of a tennis ball, and does not have a very hard carapace on the surface of its body. was punched by Qin Lun, who had a strong strength attribute, and exploded directly into a mess of sauce on the stone wall.
Everyone cautiously maintained their formation, and did not blindly speed up their flight, and from time to time picked off the eight-eyed spiders that fell from both sides and overhead. Running all the way, they suddenly realized that the crisis they encountered this time was a little easier than the previous ones.
The eight-eyed spider's spider silk is indeed a bit difficult, but Winnie and Rand, who had been warned in advance, always burned the spider silk wrapped around their companions just right. If they encounter a large swarm of spiders swarming at the same time, they will use a light spell or fireball to disperse it.
Although the shape is still extremely dangerous, everyone's hearts are not as panicked as last night. Soon everyone realized that this may not be because the eight-eyed spider is not strong, but because they have formed a certain tacit understanding and trust in the process of a series of adventures.
In this form, even Sifer, who was originally a burden, can sometimes use the torch in his hand to deal with the spider who has been bullied. Although he couldn't help others, he had the ability to protect himself, and he saved his companions a lot of things.
The highland elves and the three bloodthirsty mercenaries may have taken the current situation as a matter of course, but for the three apostles, the feelings were much more profound.
Regardless of the fact that the three apostles sometimes cooperate tacitly, they actually lack a lot of team characteristics compared to the real apostolic team. This experience finally gave them a real taste of what an adventurous team should have.
When Qin Lun and the three of them are combined, they may not be able to hold back the other companions, and everyone can rely on their excellent combat awareness to wield 100% of their strength.
However, a really good adventurous team can increase everyone's strength, 100% swing combat power is nothing, with a tacit team should make one plus one greater than 2, each member wields their own strength.
In fact, this is also the true meaning of the Apostle team and combat career planning, each Apostle can fully develop and make up for their own shortcomings, but one thing is certain, they all need to have what they are best at, and combine with each other to make the team more powerful.
"I see the light, and it seems to be the exit!" While running, Qin Lun suddenly shouted with some joy.
"Don't be negligent, the more you get to the exit, the more dense the attack of the eight-eyed spider will be, don't drop the chain at the last moment." Mastasha solemnly reminded everyone.
The Highland Elves have no substitute for their role in this adventure, and everyone is now glad to have a Master Harpist on the team. Perhaps Mastasya was not the strongest among them, but she was clearly the most important, something that even the three apostles could not deny.
"It's finally out!" When the warm sunlight fell on them, everyone sat down on the ground with some prostration, and their hearts were full of joy.
Looking back at the dark cavern behind them, everyone suddenly felt their hearts beat again. Now that they think about it, although the eight-eyed spider is not as dangerous as the demonic beasts they have encountered before, the battle lasts the longest.
It was almost morning when they entered the cave, and they came out in the evening. Even Qin Lun had to admit at this time that if he was alone, he might not be able to hold out for so long, this was a victory for the whole team.
"Maybe after we return to this world, it's time to seriously consider forming a permanent team." Rand said on the team channel, "In such a high-level mission world, it's really not advisable to venture alone. No matter how strong and intelligent an individual is, and how well prepared, there is no doubt that he will not be able to cope with certain dangerous situations. ”
Qin Lun and Hill glanced at each other, each agreeing.
When their career path reaches their point, the Shattered Starry Sky will assign them to the more difficult Middle Demon World almost every time. Whether they want it or not, the lone ranger's career has gradually left them, and if they don't want to die, a few killers must start an adventure together.
Taking a breath, everyone began to look at their current environment. Through the dark caverns inhabited by the eight-eyed spiders, a real valley basin appeared in front of them, and for the first time since this adventure, they saw other green trees except the swamp banyan tree.
In front of them was a small basin of small size, surrounded by a gentle slope, on which some green trees grew sparsely, with the characteristic of a montane coniferous forest.
After arriving here, everyone seemed to have returned to the world of the living from the forbidden area of death. The sound of insects and birds filled the ears again, and the surging breath of life finally relaxed everyone's heartstrings.
"Hahaha, we're crossing the Land of the Dead." Sifo danced and screamed.
"It's not a crossing, it's an oblique crossing at most!" Mastasia also seemed delighted, even in her career as a harpist, a rare adventure.
She was right, though, they didn't cross the Land of the Dead.
Coming from the west of the Dead Lands, it circles half a circle around the edge of the core of the Dead Lands and finally exits at the Troll Claw entrance to the north. Compared to the legendary pirate Bodan who actually crossed the east and west sides of the Dead Lands, they could only be regarded as diagonally crossing the Land of the Dead.
Of course, if they make it back to the human city alive, it will be an amazing adventure.
"It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to see Bodean's treasure." Largo said with a look of chagrin.
Qin Lun and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, Lago was right. Although they still have the story quest "Bodan's Trail" on them at this time, it only shows that the legendary pirates have also come to Troll's Claw before, and they can't prove anything else.
The legendary pirate Bodian is a human, and no matter what he does, he will not leave his legacy and treasure near the troll tribe. Perhaps to truly find Bod'an's legacy, they would need to continue deep into the core of the Dead Lands, rather than just bypassing the lake where the Ghostface Squid is located.
But in terms of the strength of this team, they don't have this ability. Unless a squad-sized story legend teams up and gathers a bunch of cannon fodder, Bodan's treasures will forever lie dormant in the depths of the Dead Lands.
Qin Lun and the three of them actually had no hope of completing this task, and the exploration mission given by the Shattered Star Sky could only end here. Maybe after they leave, the next group of apostles who enter the world of Torrell will once again get the relevant hints from the starry sky, but this qiē has nothing to do with them, and even the three guys are a little gloating.
The Land of the Dead is so dangerous that unless there is a large team like Lost that gathers all the high-ranking apostles to carry out this mission, the other apostle teams can only come in and die. They don't have Qin Lun's status as an elven prince, and they won't have another harpist master to help them.
"Alright, let's find a safe place to rest, and don't forget what we're here for!" Mastasha smiled and said, "Your companions are still waiting for rescue!" ”
