Chapter 15: The Red Dot

"Miriday, what's going on inside?" Mia's cold voice was tinged with faint anxiety.

Going deep underground, the spiral stone staircase descending layer by layer has completely cut off the light, and the continuous darkness has made everyone stop, almost strengthening their perception to the maximum, trying to catch any slight movement around them.

Experienced mercenaries know that at this time, they must not make any movements unless they have to, and when they lose their eyesight, everyone's spirits are tense, even if it is just an inconspicuous small action, it may mislead the companions around him and induce his excesses.

Once the battle breaks out, it is easy to form a chain reaction and evolve into a melee between everyone, and it is estimated that before the enemy is seen, their own people will be killed in a river of blood.

Therefore, everyone stood silently in place, waiting for the command of Captain Mia.

"There was no change. Miriday's voice came from the darkness, "At least there's no movement in its body." ”

"Can you see that?" Shuer's slow pace of speech soothed the tense hearts of several people.

"Well, it's still different from seeing in the usual sense, but even if you can see it. Milita hesitated for a moment to explain before whispering, "Let's light the light, it's too dangerous to see nothing." ”

"No, I can't. Mia subconsciously shook her head, but immediately thought that no one could see her movements, and couldn't help but sigh self-deprecatingly, "It shouldn't have woken up yet, and if it uses light magic, the change in magic will probably wake it up from its slumber." Our current position is not suitable for attacking tough battles, so it's better not to wake it up as much as possible. ”

"And so is my magician. Yuri, who claimed to be an ordinary wingman, also lowered his voice with the two mages, "It will also cause a change in mana." ”

"I have a question. Shul also seemed to be infected, and also turned the volume to the lowest, "Why are you talking quietly?"

"Huh?" Mia was stunned, yes, why do you want to whisper, the spider doesn't rely on hearing to perceive its surroundings, or it doesn't have hearing at all, and there is no point in lowering the voice.

"Actually, you are all wrong, the spider has hearing, it relies on its legs to hear sounds. In my hometown, there have been experiments that have shown that spider legs do have the sense of hearing. Even in the dark, Shul maintained a serious expression and a very serious voice, "The first experiment, put the spider on the table, say to it, crawl, and then it crawled away. The second experiment, cut off its leg, and then say to it, crawl, this time it can't hear, so it doesn't move. ”

"Heh, heh, heh, I feel so cold. Duck let out a dry laugh at the front, and at the same time heard the sound of Si Suo, who seemed to be rubbing his arms coldly. Fortunately, the stupid joke managed to relax everyone's spirits a little, and they were not frightened by these noises, "Dude, you have time to tell such a boring joke, why don't you do something serious?"

"What should I do seriously, say, light a torch?"

Damn, I forgot the most primitive way. Mia wanted to knock on her head as punishment, and in her years of adventure, she was used to lighting in various ways, magic, magic, crystal lamps, and magic guides, but torches, which were not easy to use on the spot, had poor lighting effects, and were rarely used to adapt to the environment, so that she didn't even think about it for a while.

Whew, the flames rose and re-illuminated the inside of the magic tower, the flames danced, and the shadows left on the walls kept twisting and changing, full of strange aura.

"Speed up. Mia passed the torch to Dark, who was at the front, "Get to your destination as soon as possible and don't give your opponent another chance to wake up." ”

"Understood. Duck shook his torch, the blood shield in front of him, and made several jumps in succession, rushing directly to the end of the stairs, and stepping on the lowest ring corridor with both feet.

"Keep up and don't be left behind. Mia waved her hand and gave successive orders, "Miriday, where is the entrance? Directly opposite? Okay, Dark, go around from the left, Moria, you keep an eye on the right to prevent an enemy from attacking from the right." Save, how far can you hear? This layer can be heard clearly? Well, report back as soon as there is an abnormal noise. Rudolph, did you find anything out of your sense of smell?"

"Hahahaha, you can't hear it if you cut off your legs, haha, haha. As soon as Mia's inquiry came out, the usually irascible orc suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, and even the beard on his face was shaking violently, "Hahaha, listen to the sound by your legs, haha." ”

Nine mercenaries, almost everyone was looking at him with respectful eyes, even Dark, who was quickly opening the way in front, couldn't help but glance back at him a few times, everyone's hearts were full of admiration for his reaction, it was not easy to react so slowly and still survive.

"Shut up. Mia exclaimed, "Answer the question immediately." ”

"Oh, oh, oh, hahaha, it's so funny, no, nothing, what's the problem? Oh, yes, it's kind of weird. It took a lot of effort for the tiger man to hold back his laughter, and he gasped and said, "The fishy smell is a little stronger." ”

"Because it's close?"

"No, it's not that the smell of fish is stronger, it's that the smell of the environment is really worse. The Tiger Man followed closely behind Duck and said without looking back, "I don't know why. ”

"The exhaust volume of the air holes has increased. Miridy showed the qualities of a biologist, "It's like we're getting short of breath." ”

"Woke up?"

"It hasn't moved yet, but it should be soon, or it's actually awake and just laying a trap...... Tsk, that's disgusting. ”

Miridy's disgusting object is naturally not Mia, but the environment inside the magic pool, the mercenaries have rushed to the outside of the magic pool as fast as possible, but they find that they can't see everything inside the magic pool.

According to the design habits of the magic tower, there is only one huge room on the entire floor of the tower, except for the outer corridor, which is the magic pool. The walls around the pool are reinforced in layers, stronger than the tower itself, with only a small door for mages to enter and exit for daily maintenance.

Because of the passage of time, now the door has been damaged, and it has been on the ground for a long time, and when you look in through the door frame, you can only see a piece of white flowers.

The entrance was covered with cobwebs, layered and dense, with slimy spider silk tangled with each other, and many of the shriveled corpses of the living animals hanging on it, which looked almost disgusting.

Miridy had been observing the magic pool through the bones of the deceased before, and what she saw was different from what she had seen with the naked eye, so she didn't have an intuitive experience of these cobwebs, and when she saw a large clump of white flowers and slimy cobwebs stacked on top of each other, she only felt that her scalp was numb.

Normal spider webs, of course, it is impossible to see the state of spider silk so clearly, but inside is a giant spider with a body several meters wide, each spider silk has the thickness of a child's wrist, and it is crystal bright under the reflection of the firelight, which is particularly clear, as for the corpses of those animals, the size is also very large, and many of them are about the same size as adults, seeing such corpses, it is as if they have been hung on spider webs.

"Thirty seconds of rest and ready for battle. Mia took a deep breath, "Dark, ignite the cobwebs directly, all cobwebs are afraid of fire, this is determined by the constituent elements. ”

"Understood. ”

"Now that the break has begun, it's all been heard, the environment is abnormal, and now we need to readjust our tactics. After breaking the entrance with fire, Duck and Charles, you two escort me in, I will freeze the surrounding cobwebs with cryogenics, Yuli, you ordinary winged people, you should have a range of magicians, okay, after the cobwebs are frozen, you are responsible for smashing all the cobwebs and then burning them. ”

"Hey, got it. "Ranged magicians are very difficult to make, and there aren't many surviving ones, and of course they are not something that ordinary Wingmen can have, but a 'normal' Wingman like Yuri is definitely an exception. Yuri floated in the air without touching the ground, took off his gloves with a smile, and took out two rings, one left and one right, and put them on his fingers, "I like to set fires." ”

"Be careful in melee combat, don't go near areas we haven't cleaned, these spider silks are very sticky at first glance, and if they get caught, nothing will necessarily happen. Moria, you shoot from a distance, in case someone gets stuck in the silk......"

"Shall I just give him a good time?" Lin Jing's mischievous gaze in the elven form roamed over Shuer's body, as if he was considering where to shoot more painfully, and finally his gaze stayed under his lower abdomen, such a sinister intention made Shuer threaten her with his teeth bared.

"I think it's normal for people to think about breaking the spider silk and putting people down first. Mia kept a straight face, for fear that she would lose her mind when she was angry, "In addition, before everyone dies, there is no need to give anyone a good time." ”

"What a pity. Moria showed a very regretful expression, and reluctantly glanced at the chosen target one last time, "Then it's time to change the throwing gun." ”

"Remember to wait for me to ask for a way out to melee in close proximity to the enemy. With one last instruction, Mia gave Duck a thumbs up, "Good luck to all of you." ”

"Whoo", the torch did not touch the cobweb, but the flames had already devoured several spider silks, the spider silk was still flammable, and the flames extended inward along the spider silk, and soon burned the cobwebs at the entrance through a large hole.

"Enter. Mia gave the order, and Duck and Charles, the scimitar warrior, escorted her one after the other, and rushed into the burnt hole.

Entering the magic pool, Mia finds that it is completely different from what she imagined.

There was indeed a lot of spider silk floating in the room, but it was much less than expected, and it was not to the point where it was difficult to walk, especially the ground, which was much cleaner than expected, although it was slimy to step on, but at least it could move freely, so that it would not be stuck to the ground and could not move.

As the sapient beings stepped in, as if to welcome visitors, eight scarlet points of light suddenly lit up in the shadows in the center of the magic pool.
