Chapter IV

It was a swarm of spiders, estimated to number in the dozens, ranging from the size of a palm to the size of a buffalo. Most of the giant spiders are black, with thorn-like hair on their legs and venom dripping from their fangs.

A middle-aged man fell to the ground, a large piece of skin on his leg was corroded, that is, he let out a scream. I was thinking of looking for an opportunity, but I ended up here. Several of his companions stood in front of him, blocking the approaching spiders. But in the face of this volume, they also feel hopeless. It was when everyone was about to give up that a wall of ice formed in front of everyone.

"Take the wounded to the back. ”

At this time, Canglan and the others, who heard the screams, had already arrived, and Mo Wentian had built an ice wall to cover everyone, but the ice wall had just been erected when the distance trembled.

"Quick. ”

The previous few men carried the wounded man backwards. The ice wall collapsed, and several spiders rushed towards it.

"Sickness, vicissitudes, cover me. Mo Wentian stabbed straight into the mouth of a spider, and then the freeze expanded. At this time, a spider next to him opened his fangs, and when he saw that he was about to pounce, Canglan lowered his body slightly, and pierced the spider with a sword from below.

At this time, he had already rushed into the spider swarm, "Moyi. ”

Although Mo Yi has a strong awakening magic, all he learns is some auxiliary magic. Generally in battle, he assists Ji and Mo Wentian.

He felt his body become lighter, and his sword became faster and faster, but the shells of those giant spiders were unusually hard, and he had to attack their weak parts to deal damage to them.

In addition, two people in that team stayed behind to assist, and they were constantly inscribed in the rear, unleashing spell missiles to support, although their power was limited, but they also played a role in restraining them.

Although it was a little difficult, everyone was able to control the situation, and it was at this time that the change suddenly happened.

A large amount of venom flew out from the back of the spider and sprinkled into the spider colony indiscriminately, the spider was not afraid of this venom, but they were different. The crowd managed to dodge the first wave of venom attacks, but the second wave of attacks soon followed.

"Where did you get so much venom. He shouted.

"There must be a spider in the back that uses magical powers. Mo Wentian said, "Disease, do you have a way to get around?"

"I'll try. ”

Immediately, the disease began to desperately break through inside, and this group of spiders was very clever and kept blocking the disease.

"No, I can't get in. ”

Another burst of venom came, and he was in the swarm of spiders, and although he escaped the venom, he had a cut in his arm.

Canglan learned about the situation and suddenly realized that he still had a longbow.

"Ask God, you resist, I'll shoot that spider. ”

Canglan left the front, picked up the longbow that was set aside, put the quiver on his back, looked around his surroundings, found an excellent position to shoot, and jumped on it. Sure enough, the view from this location was excellent, and Canglan easily spotted the venom-spewing spider. The spider looked like it was not the others, it was not large, but it was green all over, and it had pus-like protrusions on its back.

Canglan pulled out an iron arrow from his quiver and drew the bow full.

With a whoosh, an iron arrow flew over the swarm of spiders and shot directly at the spider. Just when Canglan thought that this blow could be successful, one of the spiders guarding around him jumped up violently and blocked in front of the green spider. And the outer armor of the guard spider was very hard, and the iron arrow was directly bounced away.

At the same time, the blow also made the spider colony notice, and several smaller spiders crawled against the rock wall.

"You two, support him. The two mages directly shot a few missiles at the little spider, helping Canglan resolve the crisis.

Canglan drew another iron arrow, pulled the string and sent out another arrow, but it was still blocked. At this time, he also noticed that several giant spiders had arrived behind the spiders.

Because he has more than one enemy and has to protect the mages behind, Mo Wentian has been using a wide range of freezing attacks, which makes Mo Wentian's magic power consumed seriously, and the scale of freezing is decreasing. And it is even more dangerous to go deep into the spider colony.

Canglan was in a complicated mood, but there was no way, he knew he had to do something.

A small spider pounced on Canglan, Canglan jumped upward, and the little spider fell to the ground in the air, and was killed by the magic bullet that followed. The jumping tide fell on another foothold he had already chosen, half-knelt, keeping his balance, and then pulled a silver arrow from the quiver, pulled the string in his hand, and a force gathered from all directions of his body, and then the arrow began to linger around the multicolored light.

An arrow, with a strange light, pierced the fog in the air, and another spider jumped up to block the arrow, but this time it was directly pierced, and finally the arrow nailed the venom-spitting spider to the ground.

Mo Wentian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the scene in front of him, but he didn't have time to think about it, the enemy in front of him hadn't been solved yet. Canglan then fired several arrows in a row to deal with the last few spiders that arrived. In this way, Mo Wentian and Ji were much less stressed, and in the end, the few people who had left earlier also rushed to the battlefield, and finally repelled the remaining spiders.

"Are you all right?" Canglan put away his longbow and jumped off the rock wall.

"It's fine. ”

"You guys rest first, and I'll recover the arrows. ”

Arrows need to be recycled, especially the silver ones. This arrow is made of Mithril, which is superior in both hardness and pro-demonic properties, and Canglan only brought a total of 10 arrows.

Some of the arrows had pierced the spiders, covered in disgusting juice, wrapped in cloth and ready to be washed by the water. After retrieving the arrows, Canglan returned to the place where he had rested, and the wounds of the wounded had been treated, but his complexion was still not very good. A captain-like person expressed his gratitude to the four of them.

"We were going to try our luck here and see if we could find something good, but in front of us we came across a cave with a few spiders guarding the door, so we broke in, but we didn't expect that there were so many spiders inside. ”

Canglan asked, "Is there a white ore in the cave?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it, it seems to have been. The man recalled.

"Where is it in the cave?"

"I went in and walked a few steps and saw it. ”

Canglan walked to the side thoughtfully, Mo Wentian followed, and asked, "Do you want to go alone?"

"There are too many spiders, and it's a little more convenient for one person. ”

"Since it's all in front of us, there's no need to worry, let's go investigate first, and then it's not too late to make plans. ”

After that, Canglan and Hurried went to look around the cave, and sure enough, as he said, there were several spider corpses outside the cave, and there were four spiders guarding the entrance of the cave.

Then everyone began to discuss the next plan, and the people of the team said that they could help, but Canglan only let them be responsible for answering.

"Are we going to go straight in?" he asked.

"If we alarm the spider swarm, we won't have a chance to enter the cave. Canglan said, "Let's get rid of the four at the door first, I can shoot one, and you can solve one by one, and in this gap, I can put another arrow." ”

"Yes, when we enter the cave, Moyi will answer at the door, and we will leave when we get the ore. Mo Wentian said, and then took out a bottle of red medicine to give it to Ji and Canglan, "It can save lives at critical times." ”

After discussing the plan, the four of them rested for a while and ate something. Through the team's chat, Canglan learned that they had been hired by a caravan to look for medicinal herbs, but unfortunately they didn't find them.

The four of them set off for the cave, and to their surprise, there was one more spider guarding than before, but they didn't plan to change their plans.

Canglan shot through a spider with an arrow, Mo Wentian and Ji outflanked left and right, and one person solved one. At this time, one of them turned around and tried to escape, but Canglan shot an arrow, but it didn't hit the vital point. Although it almost fell to the ground, the spider was still crawling into the cave, but fortunately, Mo Wentian caught up in time and finished it off. At the same time, the only remaining spider outside was also killed.

Mo Yi stayed at the entrance of the cave to answer, and the other three entered the cave, and before they had walked a few steps, they suddenly pointed to a place, "Is it that!" Canglan looked in the direction of the rapid point, there was a large piece of white ore there, but he could also see at a glance that this was an ordinary rock.

Canglan shook his head, "No, the Wuling Mine is generally only the size of a fist. ”

The white ore that the group of people saw was this piece, and if it wasn't, it was unknown whether there was Wuling Iron in the cave. The Butterfly Wing Valley is not rich in Wuling Iron, but it is not found anywhere else. At this time, Canglan was faced with a choice, that is, whether to continue exploring.

At this time, he quickly spoke, "Then let's continue to search, if we are really in danger, we will withdraw immediately." ”

Canglan looked at the two of them, thought about it, and felt that there was no other good way, and then moved on.

The scale of this cave cannot be compared with the Falling Rock Cave, but it has been extended in all directions. There are not many glowing plants inside, the light is a little dim, and the surroundings are also very humid, and from time to time there are water droplets falling, and there is a fishy smell around.

The three of them had been groping in the cave, and they had seen all kinds of ores, but there was no Wuling Iron, but they did not stop.

After passing through a passage, the space suddenly becomes open. It's a huge, circular space surrounded by passageways leading to it. Moreover, there are a large number of spiders huddled in it, and there is a huge purple spider in the middle, which seems to be the leader of these spiders. And next to the purple spider, a few pieces of exposed white ore caught Canglan's attention.

The three of them retreated.

"That's the one next to the purple spider, right?. Mo Wentian asked.

"Yes, but it's too dangerous. ”

"Those spiders seem to be sleeping, and they don't notice us, why don't we take them carefully?"

Canglan thought for a while, and then said, "I'll go in and get it, go to the other side, Wentian will answer here, if the spiders wake up, attack them from one side to attract their attention, Wentian will take the opportunity to create an ice wall for me to create a way to escape." ”

Mo Wentian and Ji agreed to Canglan's plan.

The spiders were very close together, and Canglan carefully avoided them, and at the same time advanced very slowly. A few minutes later, Canglan finally came to the purple spider's side, although it was curled up, its huge size still made Canglan feel a little scared.

Wuling Iron is only the size of a fist, which also means that Canglan can be taken directly. Just as Canglan picked up a piece of Wuling Iron and put it in the package, the purple spider moved slightly. Canglan looked up and saw that the eight eyes were staring at him, and at the same time, the spiders around him also began to move.

"Go quickly. Mo Wentian shouted, and the disease immediately began to attack the spiders outside, and the spiders' attention was slightly diverted.

Mo Wentian's burst of magic froze a spider, and Canglan immediately turned around and ran backwards, but the purple spider did not freeze and chased closely after Canglan. The spiders were huge, and it was inconvenient to move when they were huddled together, but the space left for Canglan to escape was also very small, so Canglan simply jumped onto the backs of these spiders and moved in the direction of Mo Wentian.

The spiders had nothing to do about the Canglan on their backs, seeing that Canglan was about to merge with Mo Wentian, a small colored spider suddenly jumped down from the rock wall and exploded in front of Canglan, a huge magic impact came from the center of the explosion, Canglan hurriedly turned, but was still shocked and fell to the ground and rolled a few times. At this time, the purple spider chased after him again, and Canglan hurriedly got up and got into a passage.

"You go first, and we will meet at the entrance of the cave. ”

Seeing such a situation, Mo Wentian and Ji began to retreat, because a large number of spiders were attracted by Canglan, so they were not hindered when they retreated.

On the other side, Canglan is still on the run, the purple spider is chasing after him, and from time to time a few spiders will appear to block Canglan's way. Canglan didn't know how long he had been running, but slowly, the environment of the cave was also changing, there were more and more plants, and there was no fork in the road for a long time, which made Canglan very uneasy.

Soon, Canglan's fears also became a reality.

A large group of spiders blocked the front of Canglan, and the size was huge, estimated to be about twenty. Just when Canglan was about to turn around, the purple spider also chased after him, followed by a large group of spiders, Canglan gasped and cursed in his heart.

The purple spider moved, and its huge claws stabbed towards Canglan like a spear, Canglan dodged and counterattacked, but the purple spider's legs were really hard, and Canglan's slash did not cause any damage, and hurriedly retreated.

At this time, Canglan also found that the spider blocking the front did not intend to attack him. What are these spiders protecting, this thought flashed in Canglan's heart, and at the same time, Canglan also had an idea in his heart.

A large wave of spiders followed the purple spiders towards Canglan, Canglan injected magic power into his long sword, preparing to forcibly break through the group of spiders in front, although the group of spiders did not take the initiative to attack, but when they saw Canglan rushing over, they also put on a posture to fight.

At this time, Canglan repeated his old trick, jumped on the back of a spider and then jumped again, landing behind the group of spiders. The spiders felt that they were being played, so they turned around and chased after them, and Canglan didn't look back, and ran straight forward. He saw the bright hole in front of him, and he saw the trees outside, and rushed out.

Here is another huge hole, overgrown with huge plants, like a small world. At the same time, just as Canglan imagined, the group of spiders stopped at the entrance of the cave.

Could it be that this is a sacred place for spiders? Canglan thought in his heart, but considering that it was a sacred place for spiders, there should be some spider eggs or something, but Canglan didn't find it.

The glowing plants here are very large and illuminate the place very brightly. A few unknown bugs were flying, and they didn't look dangerous. There is also a waterhole next to it, the water is dark, and it is not clear how deep it is. There are also a few lotus flowers blooming on the water, which look out of place.

Canglan walked along the shore all the way, and slowly realized that something was wrong, thin ice began to appear on the water, and the further he went, the ice became thicker and thicker, Canglan couldn't suppress his curiosity. Finally, he saw a blue lotus flower budding, surrounded by a thick layer of ice, spreading along the water.

What surprised Canglan even more was that on a stone on the shore, a girl was sitting on it, staring at the lotus flower.

Looking at the girl's side face, Canglan was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he realized how rude his behavior was just now. At the same time, the girl also discovered Canglan's existence and turned her face.

"Who are you?"

I have to say that the vicissitudes of the tide are intoxicated, maybe because of this look, maybe because of this voice.
