"The sound source is far away. Shul closed his eyes and listened for a while, "The cave amplified the sound, I don't know the topography of the cave, so I can't tell where it is, but ......"

"But it keeps going. ”

"Well, I haven't heard a pause, it's like fighting. Shul frowned, "Could it be that burrowing spiders still have enemies inside? Wei, is it possible for you to probe the depths of the cave?"

"No, Your Excellency, the stealth detector needs to operate at a certain height, and the cave ** cannot drive normally. ”

"Tsk, it's a pity, this cave is a little smaller. ”

In fact, the hole is not small at all, and it can even be said to be quite spacious.

The entrance is a circular cave with a diameter of more than 40 meters, passing through an area sealed by cobwebs, and inside is a spacious tunnel, in which even several horses can gallop side by side, you can imagine how spacious it is.

There are no obvious artificial traces on the tunnel, and it is believed that someone has corrected the road on the basis of the natural tunnel. However, after Wei's inspection, it looks like a trace left by a human tool, combined with the fact that there is a crystal ore inside, it is estimated that a human prospecting team explored this place a long time ago, but gave up mining because the ore vein content was too low. However, Wei didn't know about this, maybe she didn't leave a record at all, or maybe the record, like a lot of other information, was directly recorded in the system of the main base of the galaxy, and it was isolated in the projection world and could not be retrieved.

Now, this semi-artificial tunnel has become a paradise for spiders, Shure and Moria walked in the tunnel in the dark, and all that echoed in their ears was the friction sound of spider claws scraping against the stone wall, and in the darkness, there were shadows constantly shuttling on the wall at high speed, and the black figures were in a clump of clouds, almost merging with the wall.

Left and right, under their feet, and even above their heads, there were traces of small spiders everywhere, and the two walked extremely cautiously, relying on low-light vision, their eyes were glued to the ground, and they were always ready to avoid the oncoming spiders.

The ears should also be nervously pricked up, and they can receive the sound information on both sides and the top of the head at any time, perhaps because the weight is too large, from time to time there will be stupid poor little spiders falling from the rock walls on both sides and above the head, if you are not careful, you may be pounced on the face, and you may not be hurt if you are pounced, but the stealth state is definitely not maintained.

Although they can immediately tear open another scroll and re-steal their figures, but the little spiders are thousands of times smarter than before, and now the little spiders don't know that someone is there, once they are found once and then stealth again, Shuer is not sure, they will not be smart enough to find a way to detect the invisible enemy, and they don't need too troublesome methods, directly rely on the number of net-type searches, and the two will have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, the two of them are even more nervous than in the insect swarm, the insect swarm is really discovered, it is a big deal to turn around and run, it is not so easy to stop them, but here are all stone walls, and the exit is blocked by cobwebs, there is no place to run, if you don't want to become a spider cocoon, you can only be careful, and be careful.

"Do you really just want to scout?" suddenly came from Moria's muffled voice in the middle of nowhere. The two of them didn't dare to act hand in hand at first, so they could only act separately, doing their best to avoid the little spiders that would come out of nowhere, and they could only confirm each other's positions with sound every ten seconds. Fortunately, spiders and insects do not have hearing organs, otherwise they would not even dare to speak.

"What does that mean?" asked Shull, puzzled, "is there any problem?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that it's a little abnormal. Moria paused for a moment, concentrating on the sudden emergency before continuing, "It stands to reason that this kind of behavior will not lead you to a desperate situation. The purpose of reconnaissance is to bring the information back alive, not to feed the enemy, and in a similar situation, the purpose is to detect that you will not enter the cave at all, because the danger is too high, after all, there are too many small spiders. ”

"Actually, there aren't too many spiders. ”

Yes, at least not many spiders were around the two at the same time. Don't look at the little spiders constantly passing by the two of them, but they come and go in a hurry, without stopping for a moment, as if they are very busy. The two of them stopped at the entrance to observe, these little spiders are actually changing guards like a human army, changing guards every ten minutes or so, always ensuring that the spiders guarding the entrance outside maintain the most abundant physical strength.

Changing guards, transporting, and specializing in repairing cobwebs, the little spiders have a clear division of labor, and their movements are very skilled, and they must have repeated the same behavior countless times in the past two days.

Therefore, it is true that there are not many small spiders that exist at the same time, but this is obviously sophistry, once the two are exposed, they will soon be encircled, and those passing spiders can drown the two people in the dark at any time.

"If you continue like this, I will refuse to talk to you in the future. Moria snorted dissatisfiedly, "Even perfunctory is insincere. ”

"Well, it's true that it's not just scouting, I actually have my own plan. After hesitating in silence for a while, Xiuer reluctantly said, "The specific situation needs to be determined by seeing the actual situation of the burrowing spiders, maybe they are too busy to take care of themselves, so there is no point in saying anything now." ”

"You want them to help us attract firepower even more?" asked Moria, confused.

"Watch out for spider silk. Shul bent down and drilled through a thin spider silk hidden in the darkness, the translucent spider silk was barely visible in the darkness, it was simply the most insidious trigger trap, "Almost, the purpose is similar. ”

"Is it necessary?" Lin Jing suddenly jumped forward, jumped over the spider that had been crawling sideways on the ground, and waved his throwing gun viciously at this unruly personality spider who destroyed the formation, "We have both seen the strength of several points of the insect swarm, no matter which point you choose, it is actually almost the same, even if you transfer some of the insects, they will leave a certain number of guards, and in the end, they can only fight hard." When the time comes, the eight of us will join forces and do our best, and those bugs should not be able to stop us. ”

"Dealing with fewer troops, maybe one or two more people will survive, their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me, I don't care, but in the final analysis, it was because of Mia's mission that she died, she would care, so it was one more to be able to keep one. Shul was silent again, and after a while he said softly, "Moreover, the situation is more complicated than everyone thinks, and if we are not fully prepared, I am afraid that even we ourselves will never see the rising sun of Parvadiga again." ”

"So serious?" more than a dozen spider silk rungs in front of her, the distance between each one was so narrow that it was impossible to get through, and Moriah could only use the sand and moisture remover tactics again to carefully break the spider silk. Fortunately, I brought a large bag of sand with me when I came in before, otherwise it would have been troublesome now.

"I said, it's more serious than you think, one wrong step is a desperate situation. Shul sighed, "The queen of the swarm knows what we want to do, and she knows exactly where the three points of separation are, and it is already obvious that it does not intend to let us leave, although it doesn't know why, but it definitely wants to keep us in this world." ”

"It now has an absolute advantage, and it can crush us at any time, and it has not done much so far, but it feels that the time is not yet ripe. We only have one chance, and if we seize it, at least the eight of us can survive, and if we can't catch it, we will die here together, so it is not too well prepared. ”

"In this case, if I don't tell the truth, I naturally have my concerns. I know you mean well, but don't force me yet, I'll make amends to you later. ”

"Yo Yo, this is what you said, you want to make amends to me. Moria's tone changed back to Lin Jing's unique cheerfulness, "The method of reparation is up to me, I want you to help me brush my hairs, brush all day, wow, I feel comfortable to death when I think about it." ”

"Hey, can you look a little more like a normal person?" Shure couldn't stand this curious guy anymore.

"Eh, don't you like bristles? You can catch insects for me, no, you're not a tuk-tuk bird, you can't catch insects." ”

"I was wrong, I retracted the promise I made just now, and I won't make amends, okay?"

"That's ......"

The two suddenly stopped talking, because the nearly 100-meter descending tunnel finally came to an end. Although this road is not long, it is extremely exhausting, and every step is taken carefully. Moriah originally considered whether it was recommended to let those ordinary people go home from this detachment point, after all, as long as they avoided the detection of those empty jellyfish outside, they could stay invisible all the way to their destination.

However, now this idea has long been thrown away, what kind of joke, let those ordinary people walk through this tunnel of more than 100 meters, I am afraid that they will be paralyzed by scare as soon as they come in, and then they will be found more than 20 times every few meters, which is more troublesome than fighting head-on with the insect swarm, and even her and Xiu'er's excellent psychological quality are a little unbearable in the end, and they need to rely on non-stop conversations to soothe their spirits.

Fortunately, it finally came to an end, and at the end of the tunnel, there was a huge underground cavern. In the middle of the cave, there are special local crystals, but unfortunately, there are only two, and the light of the crystals is slightly dim, it seems that the energy inside has been consumed by the mutant spider mother, and there is not much left.

Around the crystal, inside the cavern, the scene was even more exaggerated than the scene in the magic pool of the magic tower before, the ground was full of wriggling silk cocoons, which imprisoned spare food, and although the food struggled as best it could, it could not get rid of the cocoon.

At the top of the cave, there were large clumps of spider eggs like grapes, each of which was larger than a human head, and the spider eggs were not wrapped in silk cocoons, because there was no need at all, and the two watched a string of spider eggs burst, and hundreds of wet spiders broke out of their eggs, quickly devouring their original dwellings. After eating the house, the newborn spider pounced on the prey on the ground, and while eating, it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when they were finally full, the carapace was finally hardened, and the body had grown to half a meter wide, and the body still exuded energy fluctuations close to the apex of the silver order.

The walls are covered with white silk threads, and there are large spiders moving around quickly, and this is a spider hell, and the terrifying spider nests imagined in folk horror stories are no more than that.

"What about the mutant spider mother?" both of them asked at the same time, the mutant spider mother who was supposed to be entrenched in the crystal and constantly produced was not here.

"Boom", the sound of impact and vibration that had already stopped reappeared, and the sound came from another large tunnel on the opposite side of the cavern.

"Let's go, let's take a look, the mutant spider mother should be there. ”
