Chapter 36 Underground Glaciers
No one knows how big the spider's nest is, but since the spider lived in this cave, a large open space would be dug down every year to hold the eggs laid, and over time, the spider's nest would become a huge labyrinth underneath, and there would be several more forks in the road every day.

Duronda kept pushing away the cobwebs that hung from the top of the cave, and from time to time some glowing transparent spiders would be frightened by this, and they would slip to the ground with a spider silk and quickly hide in the nearby group of spider eggs.
"How long will it take us to get to the exit of this Earth Spider Nest?" Yang Xiu sat on the back of the Kodo Beast, scanning the surroundings with the eyes of the Blood Priest, for fear that there was a Earth Spider hiding in a corner and planning to sneak up on them.
"If there are no surprises, a day," replied Iron Hand.
"So long, is this spider's nest so long?" Yang Xiu asked in surprise, in one day, he could walk thousands of miles in the wasteland at the speed of the Kodo Beast.
"This is a different chief, the inside of the spider's nest has been completely dug by the spiders, and most of the passage that was only a few kilometers away has now sunk to the ground, and we have to take a long detour to get to the exit," Iron Hand explained.
Originally, there was only one road inside the spider's nest, and passers-by only had to walk straight for a while to reach the oasis, but since the spider nested here, the road began to be dug up a large number of forks, and even the terrain in the cave was excavated and changed every year, and there must be a special method to find the exit to the oasis.
When Yang Xiu and his party reached the bottom of the steep slope, seven forks of different sizes suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and they saw that Iron Hand took out a palm-sized weasel from the leather armor on his body, and the weasel hesitated for a few seconds and jumped off Iron Hand's hand and ran to the fork on the far right.
"This is not a ......" Yang Xiu suddenly recalled the time when the Flame Tribe, Tie Shou had asked him for a golden bean and said that he wanted to buy something, and then brought back a weasel that he didn't know what to do, Yang Xiu was still wondering why he bought this at that time.
"I used to go to the oasis with the people of the tribe to buy things, I often went to the spider's nest, this oasis unique to the weasel has a very sensitive sense of smell, is very familiar with the breath of the oasis, by the nose can return to the oasis by itself, in order to prevent getting lost, we will always bring an oasis weasel" Iron hand pulled a soft rope in his hand, and the other end was tied to the neck of the oasis weasel, also to prevent this little thing from running too fast, everyone was lost in the dim cave at once.
The three of them walked into the fork in the road selected by the oasis weasel and walked in, and a cold cold wind blew over, and Yang Xiu suddenly shivered coldly.
"What's the situation ahead, how can this wind be so cold," Yang Xiu couldn't help but ask.
Iron Hand looked ahead in confusion, and wondered: "Isn't the Moros Underground Glacier supposed to be in the second half of the ground spider's nest, why did you just come in?"
"What Moros Underground Glacier?"
"The oasis and the coast are not close to the Moros Snow Mountains, there are a lot of snow mountains under the ground in these two places after melting into the water flow into the underground cave, this spider nest a few years ago because the spiders dug too deep, inadvertently dug an underground cave, resulting in the snow mountain flow inside all poured out, in the second half of the spider nest frozen out of a glacier, such cold air is generally only after that section, we just came in to feel, it should be the terrain of the spider nest has changed again"Iron Hand grabbed the Oasis Weasel and put it back in his leather armor, after the terrain changes, it is easy to have a lot of instability, this is the only Oasis Weasel among the three, if something happens, then you can only go back to the Flame Tribe and buy another one, otherwise you will force yourself deep into the nest of the spider, and you will only get lost in this devastated underground.
"Whoa!"
Before he walked out of this fork in the road, Yang Xiu heard a huge sound of running water coming from the other end in front of him, followed by the temperature in the fork getting lower and lower, and the cold Yang Xiu tightened the cloak on his body with both hands.
When the group turned a ninety degree turn in the fork in the road, the scenery on the other side appeared in the eyes of the three people.
A huge iceberg stands under this underground, below the iceberg is a glacial lake that exudes white mist, the water quality is blue like a jewel of the deep sea, there is a forty centimeter wide cliff mountain road on the right side outside the end of the fork, below is the Baizhang cliff, if you accidentally fall down, you will fall into the ice lake, on the mountain wall on the left outside the end of the fork, there is a huge waterfall gushing from above, the sound of water that Yang Xiu heard before is from this waterfall.
"It's incredible...... There is still such a scenery in this spider's nest" Yang Xiu stood in the fork and looked at the glacier in the distance, it was unimaginable that the sun was blazing outside the spider's nest, the earth was exhausted, but there would be such a beautiful snowy scenery underground.
The flowing water of the waterfall exuded a heavy cold air, and a few waves of water splashed on the cliff mountain road, and it instantly condensed into ice cubes, and Yang Xiu, who saw it, immediately dispelled the idea of taking a bath.
"What the hell have these earth spiders been doing all day, it looks like this must have dug through a lot of underground caverns, and leaked all the frozen water that Moros melted" Iron Hand complained, "Chief, it seems that these Kodo beasts can only stay here, this road is so narrow, even if it is difficult for us to walk through"
"Indeed, wouldn't it be okay to leave these Kodo beasts here, in case the earth spider comes," Yang Xiu asked.
"Don't worry, they'll find their way back" Iron Hand took all the luggage off Kodomon's back, and Duronda carried Agano onto his back, only to see Kodomon "moo", turned around on its own, and walked the way it came.
......
The cliff road is winding and endless, and above the head is a rock that reaches the top of the cave, and from time to time gravel falls.
"No matter how you look at it, it feels dangerous......" Seeing the iron hand carrying a large bag of things and leading up the mountain road, Duronda followed behind with Agano on his back, but Yang Xiu didn't dare to step out of that foot.
When on earth, all the attractions with these cliffs will have special staff to build fences to prevent tourists from accidentally falling, Yang Xiu looked at the mountain road about forty centimeters wide in front of him, and then looked at the extremely high cliffs below, inexplicably flustered, the difference between no fence and fence is too big.
"Chief, keep up!" Iron Hand turned around and saw that Yang Xiu was still standing in the fork in the road, and couldn't help but remind him.
"I want to die" Yang Xiu held on to the mountain wall, and slowly walked towards the cliff mountain road, he chose a posture with his back facing outward, so that he could not see the cliff hundreds of meters high behind him.
Yang Xiu didn't know that walking on this kind of cliff path with his back close to the mountain wall was the most correct way to walk, so that he could not only maintain his body's balance with his back against the mountain wall, but also watch the road in front of him move.
Since Yang Xiu was at the end of the line, with his back to the cliff, he didn't notice that a huge spider crawled out of a gap in the cliff wall below, this spider looked at the torch in Yang Xiu's hand with some fear, and crawled towards him with light steps, and in the blink of an eye, he had already come to a position two or three meters below Yang Xiu.
"Chief, be careful!" Iron Hand looked back at Yang Xiu from time to time, but saw that the two spider legs of a ground spider had climbed onto the cliff path where Yang Xiu was standing, keeping a very close distance from him.
"What?" Hearing that Iron Hand was suddenly calling himself, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see Duronda and Iron Hand who turned around with shocked expressions, staring at his feet, Yang Xiu couldn't help but turn his head to look back and down with the help of the torch in his hand, and saw a spider bigger than a truck looking at him quietly, and the two basketball-sized eyeballs were full of blinking eyes, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
"Hiss!" Yang Xiu's eyes were huge, a spider larger than a truck was only two meters away from your body, it was estimated that no one could imagine what kind of picture it was, Yang Xiu looked at the motionless ground spider almost in confusion, the torch in his hand hurriedly stretched out, and at the same time moved towards Duronda's side with accelerated steps.
"Tsk!" The ground spider let out a mouse-like cry from his mouth, and when he saw Yang Xiu poking the torch over, he hurriedly took a few steps back down, watching this human move towards the two orcs in front of him.
"Tsk!" The mouth of the ground spider spewed out a white spider silk and shot at Yang Xiu, who was leaning against the cliff, and it was about to stick to Yang Xiu's back, Duronda threw the short axe in his hand hard, and the spinning short axe cut the spider silk in the air, and Yang Xiu took the opportunity to come behind Duronda.
"It's strange, we are so bright here, how dare this earth spider take the initiative to attack" Iron Hand stretched out Duronda and grabbed Yang Xiu's arm, and lifted him in front of him to prevent the ground spider's silk from attacking again.
In the darkness above and below, suddenly a large number of ground spiders crawled out of the cracks in the stones, surrounding Yang Xiu and the others, only relying on the light of the torches, it was impossible to see how many earth spiders were around, Yang Xiu hurriedly opened the eyes of the blood priest and looked up, the mountain wall above his head was full of huge red dots, densely packed.
"Oh my God, we seem to be in a lot of trouble," Yang Xiu said helplessly, ready for a fierce battle.
Iron Hand put all his luggage at his feet and pulled out a clear glass jar containing a black liquid.
"What is this?" Yang Xiu looked at the thing in the iron hand's hand with some familiarity.
"Hehe, this is underground black oil, enough for these earth spiders to drink a pot," Iron Hand sneered.
