CHAPTER XXXI
There is always a faint black fog in the sky, obscuring the daylight.
Although the trees are not wilted, the leaves are sparse and blackened throughout.
In the distance, a volcano with snow on top can be seen, billowing smoke and rushing into the black clouds.
However, the Jedi was not the only reason for the black fog, because in the visible range, more than a dozen thick pillars of smoke that looked like tornadoes were swept into the black fog clouds in the sky, forming a vortex divergent structure and faintly flashing with thunder.
Blocked by the mountain, it is impossible to see what is on the ground of those pillars of smoke.
Scout bees above the clouds revealed that it was a dead zone with a range of thousands of kilometers.
Liu An only roughly swept away with his spiritual power, and fed back the fluctuations of the existence of countless undead creatures, as well as hundreds of powerful beings who were shocked by his spiritual power.

"Luna, take a seat in the second seat"
In the "cockpit", Liu An said to the huntress.
"Yes, sir"
During this period of time, with the in-depth exploration of the Everfree Forest, several female mercenaries have realized Liu An's strength, so they call him an adult very respectfully.
Liu An sat on the main seat, a device similar to a thinking game helmet flipped out of the back of the seat and fell on his head, several protective restraint equipment rose from the armrests and chair legs, buckled on his waist and hands and feet, and at the same time, an energy protective shield enveloped the entire chair.
His mental power and senses are fully connected to the Nightblade Panther mount.
All the crystal screens suddenly accelerated the speed of swiping the screen, and countless signals, characters, and information were exchanged, completing the neural synchronization rate between him and the Nightblade Leopard mount in a few seconds, and all the abilities of the big cat were strengthened several times in an instant, and the original figure completely disappeared into thin air.
Ang Liu's vision is in sync with it, with his brain power. In two seconds, he found the best stealth route within his line of sight, and every detail was detected and evaluated by him—the speed of the air, whether the blades of grass dancing in the wind would be brought up by the speed of the big cat's movement, and whether the rocks on the ground would crash or slip when trampled...... And so on and so forth.
Hunter Luna is surprised to notice that the scenery on the screen is rapidly receding, and the Nightblade Panther mount is running at least three times as fast as before. But it didn't leave a trace in the air.
In the oncoming scene, you can see many white bone creatures, and occasionally human skeletons.
These white-boned creatures still seem to have retained their old habits, wandering among the black grass and trees.
Occasionally, two white bone creatures can be caught attacking each other, and the winner will suck a cloud of blue ghostly fire from the opponent's skull after tearing the defeated one to pieces.
The black woods, dim light, and complex mountain terrain render all the scenery with a terrifying color. The scarlet eyes of the white bone creature seemed to be everywhere, and the distorted and strange scene seemed to lurk with demons and monsters everywhere.
Luna's mood instinctively tenses, and in her trepidation, she forgets the passage of time.
And it seemed to have crossed some boundary, the sparse ordinary forest gradually disappeared, a black forest tree grew taller and taller, the twisted branches and black leaves completely obscured the sky, and the light on the ground became darker and darker.
The black weeds are also unusually more and more vigorous. Taller than everybody.
Bones of all kinds could be seen everywhere, and the woodland seemed to be filled with a gray mist.
But under the adjustment and magnification of the crystal screen. Hunter Luna discovers that it is a dense web of cobwebs, layered around the branches.
A tank-sized white bone spider swooped out of the burrow where it was hiding, but it swooped into the air, and the reptile tapped the ground with its two forelimbs in confusion, and it did feel a large creature touch its silk web.
And the huntress who sat next to Liu An. He looked back in horror at the huge spider that seemed to be made of white bones, and on the spherical screen, its shape could be clearly displayed in defiance of the darkness. The huntress had never seen such a creature before, and she clearly felt that Liu An controlled the Nightblade Leopard to move lightly and nimbly at a distance of three feet. The Bone Spider's sharp front paws dug into the ground, and she didn't have time to react or catch its attack trajectory, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
Because it means that if it weren't for Liu An's side, or if she herself encountered this kind of monster, at this time, the Nightblade Leopard and her had already been pierced and nailed to the ground, and after a while, they would be wrapped in spider silk, injected with venom to melt the flesh, and only a skin wrapped around the skeleton would be sucked away.
A ray of light flashed, and on several crystal screens, after the cursor bounced a few times, a diagram of the structure of a white bone spider composed of lines appeared, each image was changing, one of the screens also showed a diagram of its internal structure, and the other screen was showing a warning web composed of countless extremely fine spider silk on the ground.
"I see...... Well? A creature with undead nature? ”
The Nightblade Leopard, which had already run five hundred meters, stopped, deftly bypassing the spider silk on the ground, and on the screen showing the structure of the spider web, it could be seen that the light point representing it appeared in a blank position every time.
The auxiliary combat systems of the two secondary seats were automatically connected to the chairman, and outside the shield in front of Liu An, a yellow crystal that kept spinning appeared - [Xenomorph Control Crystal], and the complex three-dimensional magic circle flashed and merged into the crystal.
The Bone Spider was unaware of the fact that it was mending its own vigilant webs, unaware that the stealthy Nightblade Leopard had come behind him.
Suddenly, on its head and under its body, a six-pointed star array appeared without warning.
"Tsk!"
The white bone spider let out a sharp cry, and the eight long legs converged like springs in an instant, but before it could eject out, the rays of light shot from each sharp corner of the upper and lower six-pointed star arrays had been docked, and the white bone spider disappeared as if bouncing into the void, and the two six-pointed star arrays quickly joined together in mid-air, turning into a white line and disappearing.
Hunter Luna saw that there was a fist-sized spider floating in the crystal in front of Liu An, and it was the white bone spider outside—the sharp form of the two forelimbs always gave the impression that it had been inserted into her scalp.
It was the cry of the white bone spider that alarmed other things, and several huge black shadows slowly fell to the ground amid the sound of ropes.
On the big screen, you can clearly see that it is another giant spider.
Eight scarlet compound eyes shone in the darkness. Unlike the Bone Spider, which resembles a birdcatcher made of bone, these creatures with a huge belly are distorted faces that resemble humans at the end of their slender hairy legs, with countless holes on their backs that can cause the Dense Fear to attack, some of which contain a face. The hideous face of a beast, which is basically a beast, seems to be suffering greatly.
The free holes were dark and faint, and from time to time a ghost claw stretched out, and the five fingers were of different lengths, as if they wanted to grasp something, and quickly retracted.
"Huh? I remember reading the material of this kind of thing, on those scrolls...... It's called the Weaver of Death......"
Liu An put away the crystal that sealed the white bone spider, and at this time, his sealing technique had been improved, and there was no longer a need for [Xenomorph Control Crystal] larger than the volume of the seal.
"It looks like we're getting closer to the goal...... Not. This kind of death weaver is also very valuable to study, it seems to be a fantasy seed that can be eaten even by souls, and the victim's face will appear in the hole in the back, and the Zhilu Dao will be thoroughly digested by it"
Saying something that made the huntress's scalp tingle, Liu An used the same technique to seal the death weavers into the crystal.
Death weavers are web-building spiders that rely on powerful webs to hunt their victims, and are not as quick as bone spiders. It's easy to be subdued.
After doing this, Liu An put away the sealing crystal. Retire the Senses Helmet and Auxiliary Combat System.
Stand up and move your lower back.
"Luna, let's go out with Lorika in a moment and set up an enchantment around us, and we'll spend the night in the Bone Spider's lair, there should be no other monsters around here......"
"Yes, my lord"
The huntress glanced at the bottom right corner of a screen before noticing. It was dark outside, but it was nightfall.
As he spoke, Liu An lowered his voice and said to himself.
"Why are there spiders around here...... Spider hell? ”
Then he patted his head and pulled out five silver equipment boxes.
"Oh, yes. Replace this one, this is the Land of the Dead, I wonder if there will be some disgusting stuff, the operation panel of the mask is similar to here, I think you have already made it"
Five sets of Gantz suits with face shields.
※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※
Almost all the proprietresses wore such a black tights, and the mercenary naturally knew that it was a good thing.
Originally, only two people were needed to go out to arrange the enchantment, but in order to experience the protective clothing, four female mercenaries and a young mercenary came out to perform this work, and they also took a special bath beforehand.
The nest of the white bone spider is not as bad as imagined, on the contrary, it is very clean except for a little broken bone, this large monster generally has the habit of collecting loot, and a few female mercenaries are fresh, and after arranging the enchantment, they began to search for the nest.
The nest is dark and can't see five fingers, there is no light, the personal terminal automatically turns on the night vision mode, and the built-in headset and communication device also allow them to talk without hindrance.
"Mom, this dress is so good, I feel that my strength has improved a lot"
"Is this green vision a similar ability to [Dark Vision]?" said Uriel, chanting a spell and casting a spell.
"Illumination!"
A ball of light suddenly appeared above her head, releasing a sun-like glow.
"Yikes!"
didn't expect that this action almost blinded everyone's eyes, but fortunately, the personal terminal had a protection function, and the brightness of the goggles was adjusted instantly.
Because of the protection of the enchantment, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the outside world, so a few people laughed for a while, and only after the vision power was restored did they start searching for the nest.
On the dry ground in the center of the lair, the Nightblade Leopard sat on the ground a few times, stretched out with its mouth wide open, and instinctively looked around before lying on the ground and began to nap.
The nest of the white bone spider is simple, used to ambush the entrance of the cave that is easy to access, and a grass cover is made of cobwebs; a hall for resting, with a dry floor; A cave where food was stored, with many ventilation holes, and many white cocoons the size of a person, some of which were still squirming slightly, and I didn't know what was wrapped in the tunnel; There is also a black hole that does not know the purpose of the tunnel. The inside is soft and moist, and the walls of the cave are inlaid with many demonic cores, as well as a few naturally formed magic crystals.
At this time, Liu An cut into their channel.
"This black hole should be an incubation room, and the layout inside is lined up with the camera function on your mask...... Well, the magic image is back, in addition. Bring in all those big cocoons in the pantry, put them in the isolation basement, and use those alchemy rings I made for you without much effort."
There are too many things beyond the scope of understanding, and a few female mercenaries are a little accustomed to it, and they are not very "shocked" anymore, and "shock" is the "shock" of shock.
At the moment, there are those who talk and laugh and do as they say. After taking the photo, he also started to dismantle all the magic cores and magic crystals in the "incubation room".
These are hard currencies that will always have value as long as there is a magical element.
In addition, some white bone spiders were found in the nest with their fading shells, and some special bones, which it seems that the white bone spiders often use to train their teeth, judging from the bite marks all over the top.
……
As a result of entering the black fog shroud range. Teleportation and magic communication have been greatly disrupted, and Su Xiaomei and his party, who had planned to return in the next few days. and he was detained.
Previously, through the relationship of the Jinshui City Chamber of Commerce, a communication crystal within the guardian was sent to the Flaming Rose Mercenary Group, and Luo Lika and the others could contact the Mercenary Group without any worries.
In fact, it is beyond the scope of the hunter Luna's ability to get here, and the role it can play is very weak, that is, when Liu An is lazy. and other mercenaries to assist the Nightblade Panther mount as it advances. However, Hunter Luna has some Ranger skills, is very knowledgeable about traps and traps, and has a talent for sensing those naturally formed secret realms or illusions, which can be considered very helpful for exploration.
……
Return to the half-dimensional space in the Nightblade Leopard's forehead protector. The items obtained are stored in different categories, and it is time for the meal. A few female mercenaries cleaned it briefly, automatically and consciously changed into loose home clothes, and went to the kitchen to give the proprietress a hand, which also meant learning some cooking skills along the way.
Su Xiaomei, a cute thing, is used to being lazy and slippery, and only Yan Yan and Suomi are in Zhang Luo at dinner. I don't know much about Yan Yan's female mercenaries, but I feel very strange about Suomi and them, saying that such a powerful sword saint wears an apron and cooks in the kitchen, which really makes them honestly afraid.
Let's do this kind of work, you really don't fit in with the kitchen scene...... This is the voice of the female mercenaries, but their craftsmanship and efficiency are really beyond their control.
The mercenaries were some of the most prominent figures in the Fortress of Noswan, but their pride was shattered by the experience of this time.
Here in the underground secret room, Liu An released a spherical sealer, and at Su Xiaomei's request, he made two sets of protective suits as heavy as astronauts, and wrote the operation on the inside of the clothes, which could be directly teleported into the protective suit.
All the gray oval cocoons were transferred to the sealer, and the two of them were teleported in.
The layers of spider silk have a very good isolation effect, and it is difficult to penetrate both magic detection methods and technological detection rays, so Liu An doesn't know what is in the cocoon, and it is no wonder that in many high demon worlds, spider silk is the best lining for high-level armor.
Pierce a probe into the cocoon shell, like a juicy rotten watermelon, squirting out a rod of yellow-green slime.
Su Xiaomei carefully grabbed Liu An, poked her little head out from behind him, and was ready to run away at any time.
"Eh, it's disgusting......"
"It's disgusting, you have to come along"
"People are curious"
Liu An dropped the adhesion on the probe on the glass sheet, covered the two pieces, sealed it into a round transparent sealed box, and sent it to the instrument for testing.
Soon, the ingredient report was displayed on the personal terminal built into the helmets of the two, Su Xiaomei just came over to have a good time, turned it off without looking at it, but pulled Liu An and asked:
"Well, what's inside?"
"A kind of biological decaying substance, after being killed by the white bone spider, wrapped in spider silk, venom also has a digestive effect, it can be regarded as a sealed fermented food, there are a lot of beneficial bacteria and viruses in it, high nutrition, good absorption, but the taste is a little wonderful, in fact, it can also be seen as yogurt in the spider world."
"Eh- it's disgusting, it's disgusting, I don't want to quit yogurt yet, don't say it's so disgusting."
Holding his arms in both hands, he seemed to rub the bulging chicken skin.
"That's just the truth, that's a kimchi metaphor"
Liu An used a laser scalpel to cut open the cocoon shell, this time it was like a rotten watermelon falling to the ground, under the pressure of the inside, the yellow-green rotten substance sprayed the two of them on their heads, and the smell was definitely not so wonderful, if it wasn't for staying in the protective suit, Su Xiaomei would either turn around and run, or burrow into Liu An's body.
"Ahhhhh
"Hey, even the bones are rotten...... Well? Could it be a mollusk without bones, but how could there be mollusks in this environment—damn it, this is from the High Magical World......
Liu An turned around and knocked Su Xiaomei's helmet with his fist.
"Don't howl, if you have a protective suit, if you don't feel dirty, activate your shield of light first, the energy shield can temporarily isolate these dirty things"
"Oh"
As he spoke, Liu An also carefully probed the inside of these rotten materials with his hands, and found no such thing as insect eggs and gods, and then casually threw the disemboweling cocoon in front of him to the recycling bin and replaced it with another one.
After cutting it exactly the same, this time there was no slurry, and the adherent spider silk was peeled away, and inside was the corpse of a death weaver, because of the exoskeleton structure, the body was well preserved, but the flesh inside had turned into a decaying substance with similar composition as before.
"They eat their own kind!?"
"Humans are still killing each other"
"Why are you doing these disgusting things, how nice it would be for us to play games together"
"Learn, research, grow, and be strong so that we don't become something wrapped inside"
"Ange, you look so handsome when you say this."
"Don't be a nymphomaniac, do you want to give you a banana first"
Having such a cute thing by his side really makes the boring work interesting, Liu An quickly dissected all the large cocoons, and there are seven or eight large cocoons that retain the bones, according to the shape of the bones, it can be distinguished that they are common beasts in the jungle where wolves, tigers, and deer are concentrated.
There are also seven or eight of the shells left, and in addition to the close relatives of the white bone spider, the death weaver, there are other species of beetles, all of which are large, and then again, if it is not a large one, it will not constitute the hunting conditions of the white bone spider.
Among them, there is a twenty-meter-long bone snake that Liu An is quite concerned about, because its appearance is very ugly and very stylish, the dense bone armor covers the body one by one, and the protruding bone spurs look majestic, but unfortunately it has become someone else's reserve ration.
There were seven or eight of them that didn't have a body, but according to the composition of the decaying matter inside, it should have come from five different creatures.
After making a record, Liu An activated the purification device, and Su Xiaomei hung himself in a cross shape on the bracket on the wall, and the person teleported out.
The rest of the clean-up work will naturally be followed up by an intelligent program.
(I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to the Quanqin Jun who is far away in heaven) (to be continued......)
