Chapter 109: Sim Town (6)
The caves in Ghost Canyon are so intricate that no one dares to say they can recognize the location of each one.
Beru hid himself in a very hidden crevice, just above a dark cavern, just big enough for his shrunken body.
As a handyman who has worked in Ghost Canyon for six years, Beru may not know the location of every cave, but he knows exactly where to play hide and seek with his friends.
Squeak - Squeak -
It was the sound of the little devil's toes rubbing against the rocks, and Beru was already familiar with the sound.
Hearing the footsteps, Beru's body began to tense, and his breathing gradually became short, obviously wanting to gasp for air, but he didn't dare to make any movement.
Squeak - Squeak -
The sound of footsteps grew clearer and clearer from far to near, but just as the footsteps passed under the crevice in the rock where Belu was hiding, there was a sudden pause!
In the rock peak, he heard the footsteps suddenly stopped, and Beru's heart jumped, and he almost screamed in fright.
Fortunately, Belu covered his mouth with his hand in time, and finally he held his breath deeply, and his eyes looked nervously at the entrance of the rock crevice, and his whole body trembled, like a prisoner waiting for trial.
Squeak - Squeak -
The footsteps sounded again, as if the pause was just an accident, and along the cave, the sound became quieter and quieter, and gradually faded away......
Hearing the footsteps disappear, Belu let go of the hand covering his mouth and took a deep breath, which scared him so much that it was not until he came back to his senses that his shirt was wet with sweat.
Where has Mr. Goode gone? Nothing will happen to him, will he?" Beru looked at the stalactites dripping from the crevices, and his heart panicked.
In the past two days, because of his familiarity with Ghost Canyon, Beru has become Goode's guide and helps him investigate the case of the remnants of the old gods and the missing persons.
But just this morning, a large group of small demons suddenly appeared in the cave, and Goode realized that something was wrong, and immediately took Beru to prepare to flee from here, but when they fled outside, they found that their retreat had been blocked by a large group of bad demons because they went too deep!
After discovering that the two could not escape, Goode found such a place to hide under the leadership of Beru.
But the gap in the rock crevice was too small to hide the two of them, so Goode left Beru behind, and used himself as bait to lure away all the little demons around him.
Now, Beru was alone in the rock peak, the cave outside was dark and silent, and there were monsters passing by from time to time, and finally, he couldn't wait any longer!
I'm going to go out and have a look!" Beru puffed himself up, and cautiously poked his head out of the rocky peak.
The shape of the cave is not perfectly arched, and there are large and small crevasses on both sides of its top, and the crevice where Belu is hiding is just one of the more hidden ones.
Looking down from above, Beru found no trace of the little devil, so he carefully squeezed his body out of the rock peak and quickly climbed down the raised rock of the cave wall.
Belu is very agile, he has been wandering around the canyon since he was a child, and climbing mountains is as easy for him as a normal child playing with mud, so when he climbed down the rock face, he didn't catch a breath.
Looking at the dark and silent cave, Beru tiptoed towards a fork in the valley, and from memory, he knew that after passing this fork and turning two more corners, he would reach a small river outside the canyon.
Beru's footsteps were soft, his breathing was low, he leaned against the rock wall, and moved to the fork in the cave little by little, the cave was still silent, which made Beru's tense heart relax slightly.
Soon! Soon he will be able to escape! Belu has already figured out the most suitable route for himself, there are seven or eight forks in the way, and unless every fork is blocked by monsters, he will definitely be able to escape!
Whooshโโ!
A faint sound of wind appeared in Beru's ears, and he only felt that something was binding his body, and then suddenly the sky was spinning, and the whole person was lifted up by something!
When Belu came back to his senses, he found that he was hanging from the top of the cave, with a thick stalactite beside him, and what seemed to bind him was a white silk net.
Belu subconsciously began to struggle, but the wire mesh on his body was too tight, he could only let his body shake, and he couldn't do other movements at all, so he gave up this senseless struggle.
Boom โ
Just as Beru's struggling strength weakened, there were some subtle grinding sounds at the top of the cave, which were very crisp, as if someone was knocking a stone on a walnut shell.
Beru's gaze looked through the darkness in the direction where the voice came from, and soon, a huge black shadow appeared in front of his eyes, this black shadow felt very familiar to Beru, and soon, he recognized what it was...... It's a spider! It's a giant spider!
Shuttle - Shuttle โ
Belu was not mistaken, this was a huge spider, with eight arthropods alone about the thickness of an adult's arm, a huge belly covered with bristles, six eyes of different sizes distributed on the top of the head, and a hideous jaw slightly open, as if hesitating where to start.
"Help, helpโโ!"
At this time, Belu struggled frantically, but the spider silk on his body did not loosen in the slightest, but tended to get tighter and tighter, and when he found that it was difficult to escape, he began to cry out in despair for help.
Shuttle - Shuttle โ
Beru's cry for help not only did not attract rescuers, but instead alarmed a large number of giant spiders, the lords of which were originally hiding at the top of the cave and could not be found without careful observation, but now they heard Beru's cry for help, and they began to be agitated.
The whole cave was filled with the sound of giant spiders crawling, and patches of sand fell from the top of the cave, all of which were caused by the collision between spiders and stalactites.
"Help, who's going to save meโโ!"
As there were more and more spiders around, and a pair of compound eyes stared at the struggling prey, Beru's cry for help became quieter and quieter.
Am I going to die?" Belu thought to himself with some despair as he looked at the spiders.
"Ollen-Leng-"
The crackling and rapid sound of the piano suddenly sounded in the cave, as if someone had detonated a cloudburst bomb in the bomb shelter, and an invisible air flow swept through in an instant.
When the sound of the piano sounded, Belu only felt as if his head had been hit with a hammer, and he was dizzy, and it was not until the sound of the piano died down that he woke up in a daze.
When Belu woke up, he saw the spiders on the roof of the cave falling down with a clatter, and these spiders seemed to have turned into wooden sculptures, and after falling to the ground, they became extremely stiff one by one, and even if they hit the stalactite, they did not move.
"Beru!" shouted from the other side of the cave.
"Mr. Goode?" Belu looked up in surprise.
