Chapter 66: Lin Jing's Practical Lessons
The crackling sound of the dragonfly after landing finally stopped at the moment when it was pulled into the cobweb, and when the probe looked, the ten dragonflies had turned into ten wriggling silk cocoons in the blink of an eye with the cooperation of a large group of small spiders. The little spiders regained their composure, but the confronting swarm seemed to be accustomed to it, and there was not even chaos, as if the insects that had been intercepted were not of the same kind.
"Are you sure you want to go in?" Moriah was also taken aback by the little spider's excellent reflexes and unprecedented coordination ability, feeling that now these guys' intelligence has improved significantly, and they may catch up with humans in time, fortunately the crystal is not in Pavatiga, otherwise it is estimated that the gods will also have a headache. The problem is that such a smart burrowing spider must have a very tight defense in the nest, and it is not so easy to get in without being detected, "Yo Yo, you see, they are no longer simple silver level, be careful to be eaten as food." ”
"I can see that the strength of most of the new generation has been greatly improved, and after a while, maybe I will be able to see tens of thousands of gold-level demonic beasts sweeping the scene of the otherworldly projection. However, it will take a long time to continue to absorb crystal energy, and it is impossible to see it during the lifetime of the Atlas Projection. Shure's voice rang in Moria's ears, "Don't worry, it's not to face them head-on, just sneak in, and not be discovered by them." Even if they are discovered, since I can wipe them out once in Pavatiga, I don't mind killing them again in the otherworldly projection. ”
"Your Excellency, the Ghost Fighter has reached a safe location, ready for orders. ”
"Very good, Wei, you can still follow us when we go in, great, remember my previous order, the image has been synthesized? Yes, yes, let's go in and see, I've never been in a spider's nest, I've finally found a chance." ”
"Huh, your hobby is so unique. Moria's face was disgusted, and she wanted to hide from this guy, but unfortunately, under the effect of the invisibility scroll, she accidentally bumped into him.
"Shhh Knowing that Moria couldn't see, Shul still raised his fingers and made a silent motion, and cautiously lurked next to the entrance of the cave.
The entrance is completely closed by white cobwebs, thick dozens of layers of cobwebs are intricate, and there are not no gaps between the spider silks, but the gaps are very small, not enough to accommodate the normal passage of humans. Even if you want to climb over, the gaps in each layer of cobwebs are intertwined, and if you want to climb over, you can only step on the spider silk like a small spider, but look at the obvious slime on the spider silk, crawling on the spider web, it is better to rush into the swarm and commit suicide.
Fortunately, human wisdom is infinite, and the creations they invent can often change the world, such as ......
"Bang bang", a few crisp sounds, a small flame suddenly appeared on the edge of the cave, clinging to the spider silk, scorching the surface of the arm-thick spider silk.
"Spider silk is afraid of fire, this is common knowledge of Pavatiga, and we have tested it in the magic tower. Holding a small ignition device in his hand, Shul continued to scorch the surface of the spider silk, "It hasn't been ignited yet, it's because the spider silk is too thick, as long as it is baked for a while, they will burn." ”
However, no, it has been roasted for half a minute, and the spider silk is only blackened by smoke on the surface, and there is no sign of burning, even if there is an occasional flame on the spider silk, it will be extinguished again in the blink of an eye.
"Ahem, in fact, I burned the spider silk to dry the slime on their surface, and the viscosity of the spider web depends on these liquids, and when they are roasted, the cobwebs lose their effect. You see, there's no stickiness anymore, and things won't stick to it, hmm, let's open it first, I touched it a little hard, and the little spider came to check. ”
In fact, halfway through the roasting, Xiuer had already discovered the problem, the spider silk was covered with very viscous liquid secretions, and it was impossible for the flames to burn the spider silk itself. In Parvatiga, the flame can work, because the spider silk has been placed for a long time, and the slime on the surface has dried, but obviously not here, at least not in these layers on the surface, of course the flame can't work.
"Wei, I remember you said there was a bomb on the ghost fighter, we blew up the hole. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. ”
"Hey, stop, I'm just talking nonsense, just don't hear me. Originally, he was just teasing when considering countermeasures, but it turned out that Shuer himself was taken aback and quickly canceled the order. It seems that these road-blocking spider silk are indeed a bit troublesome, each one is full of toughness, and the stickiness is too strong, and it is difficult to cut it.
"Hey, hey, I'm embarrassed, I can't help it. Shul was trolling on his thighs, and Moriah suddenly approached him and gloated, "I don't have much experience of survival in the wild. ”
"Well, I don't think any kind of wild survival can be related to such thick spider silk. Shuer rolled his eyes secretly, "I see that you have already thought of a countermeasure, so let's talk about it." ”
"Deep in the Maika Forest, there lives a large spider, about the size of a new generation of burrowing spiders, well, although the combat power is not as exaggerated as theirs, it is also quite dangerous. Although they are not social residents, they prefer to live together and set up nets to hunt everywhere in the colony. Because they condense a very rare spice in their bodies, many treasure hunters will risk their lives to sneak into spider nests, hoping to find spices from the spider carcasses that have died of natural causes, but unfortunately, most of them have become spider delicacies. ”
"Well, Spider Scent, I've heard of it. ”
"They have a solution to big cobwebs, which is very simple, but it's also very practical. Narrating the story of the past in a mysterious tone, Moria's location made a sound of soot, and after a while, the narrator's voice got closer and closer to the cobweb, "The method that can be used in almost any place is actually to use earth. ”
A large pony of sand appeared out of thin air, sprinkled on a few spider silks, and the crystal slime on the spider silk was covered by the sand, and immediately became turbid.
"Sand can contaminate viscous liquids and make spider silk less of its greatest threat. Moria picked up a rock and touched the cobweb, completely unglued, "You see, it's not sticky anymore." ”
"Well, I can't actually see it. "Of course I can't see it, the stealth technique is still in effect, even the stone in Lin Jing's hand is transparent, how can Xiu'er see it.
"Sand can combat the stickiness of cobwebs, but their very existence is an obstacle to treasure hunters, and like what happened to us now, cobwebs will block their way to treasure hunting. However, the temptation of wealth was irresistible, and in order to make a fortune, they found another way to do it, which was not as convenient as the ubiquitous use of sand, but it was also very effective and inexpensive. ”
"You're so right, you can't resist the temptation of riches. "Well, Shuer's focus was a little wrong, but he corrected it immediately, "No, no, I mean, what method?"
"You're also a mercenary, so you should know what are the two most headaches when camping in the wild?"
"Mosquitoes and dampness. ”
"Yes, other difficulties can be solved, at least bearable, but these two points are difficult to deal with, so when the mercenaries go out of the city, insect repellent powder and moisture remover must be carried with them, you must also bring them, give me your damp remover." ”
"Hey. Shul clutched his backpack vigilantly, "What about your own?"
"At the base, why don't we go back and get it?"
"Forget it, forget it. Shul looked unwilling, muttered and took out his own damp remover, groping a large box of damp remover to Moria. You can't blame Xiu'er for the heartache, the damp remover is very expensive, such a big box, it costs several small silver coins.
Well, at least it's a lot more expensive than a box of sand, right?
In fact, the so-called moisture remover is a kind of powder known as cottonstone, which has a strong adsorption of moisture, sprinkle a handful around the sleeping bag when camping, and do not have to worry about being troubled by humid air all night, and can not be sprinkled more, in case of too much, the next day the mouth and tongue will be dry and the throat will be burned.
"Spider silk is soft and tough because there is a lot of moisture inside, in fact, they are originally made of liquid condensation, of course, there is plenty of water. Once the water is sucked out of the silk, they become as fragile as dead grass, breaking at the slightest touch, and because they lose their elasticity, they will not be noticed by the spiders no matter how you touch them. You see, it's like this. ”
With a snap, a spider silk connected to the cave wall broke in two, and the disconnected spider silk fluttered in the wind, and the little spiders still lay motionless on the spider web as if they didn't know it.
"Tsk, I see. Xiuer nodded suddenly, a handful of soil, a handful of moisture remover, easily solved the problem that bothered him, sure enough, some knowledge can only be learned in practice, no matter how many books you read, it is useless, "It's really skilled, it seems that you have been with the treasure hunter to find those spiders before." ”
"Eh, no, no, we forest spirits won't go to the territory of the forest web-forming spider to watch the excitement because we are bored, absolutely not. ”
"Mmmm, I won't believe it, don't worry. ”
"Wow, why are you like this, no wonder Saph always says you're a nasty. ”
Raising his hand and spreading the sand in his hand on Shure's face, Moria was finally satisfied.
The two didn't dare to continue messing around, after all, there were dangers everywhere in the enemy camp, and it was okay to adjust it occasionally, but the unscrupulous nonsense was about to have an accident, and the most important thing now was to sneak into the spider's defense line quietly.
"There are also skills in destroying cobwebs, and it is necessary to choose the right position so as not to shake the stability of the cobwebs, so that the little spiders will not find out. A handful of dirt was sprinkled on the spider silk, followed by a pinch of moisture remover, and Moria, with Shuer, passed through the layers of cobwebs, without danger and safety.
"Shhh Just after passing through the cobwebs, Shul suddenly grabbed Moria, lowered his voice and asked, "What did you hear?"
The sound of collisions came from the depths of the cavern, as if someone was fighting fiercely.
