Chapter 8: Fate hangs by a thread

Chu Wen walked side by side with Lei Tiansheng in front this time, and he had just walked a few dozen steps, he faintly felt that there seemed to be some movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw this scene:

A monster with a body length of more than three meters resembling a monitor lizard and relatively long legs rushed out from the side, and its big knife-like mouth bit on the side waist of the soldier who landed at the back of the team, and instantly blood splattered, accompanied by a sound of broken bones, and the soldier suddenly let out an irrepressible scream.

The monster swooped down, dragging the dying soldier's body before turning to escape.

The nearest soldier reacted at this time, and he swung his knife and slashed at the monster, but the monster's thick tail more than a meter long was fiercely slapped on the thigh, instantly knocking him to the ground, and the long knife also fell out of his hand.

Seeing that the monster was about to flee, in desperation, he took off his rifle and shot at the monster!

"Don't shoot!" Lei Tiansheng opened his mouth to stop when he saw him take the gun, but it was still too late......

"Bang!"

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the gathering place of the spiders not far away instantly boiled, and a dense "click" sound sounded.

Chu Wen knew that this was happening, those ghost-faced spiders had very poor hearing, but it was not nothing, such a close gunshot was enough to attract their attention, and the light of the gun also exposed their location, the ghost-faced spiders were very sensitive to light and heat, if it was a very powerful light source, they might be afraid, but if it was a weak light source, it would only stimulate them to go crazy, which was why everyone did not carry lighting tools in this operation.

"Hurry, run, don't worry about the sacrificed soldiers!" Lei Tiansheng shouted as he waved his hand to the soldiers who were still a little hesitant.

Everyone was unwilling, but they had no choice but to obey the order and run out.

Chu Wen saw that the soldier who shot was struggling on the ground and couldn't get up due to a leg injury, so he ran up quickly and carried him on his back.

"Let me down! Uncle Zhang was dragged away by that monster! I want to save him......" The soldier pushed Chu Wen's shoulder, trying to break free, but was firmly fixed by Chu Wen, and it was difficult to break free.

"You've already caused trouble, you know! If you go down now, you'll only die with him! You won't even have a chance to avenge him!" Chu Wen's eyes were slightly red, and he scolded loudly.

The soldier on his back fell silent, and Chu Wen could faintly hear some sobs.

He didn't have time to say anything, the ghost-faced spiders behind him had already caught up, and when he looked back, there was a large area of blood-red ghost faces, which made people shudder.

Running and running, suddenly a huge pulling force came from the soldier behind, making Chu Wen almost get out, he instantly reacted to what was going on, quickly turned around, and sure enough, a white spider silk like a rope stuck to the soldier's back, at this time, as he turned around, the spider silk wrapped around the two of them in a half circle, Chu Wen freed up a hand and slashed at the spider silk, but it was like cutting on a steel bar, and it was full of toughness, and the knife actually failed to cut it!

The ghost-faced spider that spewed out spider silk seven or eight meters away was the size of a grinding disc, and when it saw that it couldn't pull its prey back for a while, it tightened the spider silk, jumped with strength, and shot at Chu Wen along the spider silk!

"It's good!" Chu Wen was also angry, he clenched the long knife, secretly accumulating his strength, and when the ghost-faced spider pounced in front of him, he slashed it with a knife, and immediately the juice splashed, and this knife directly cut the head of the ghost-faced spider into two halves, and cut half of the body, which was exhausted.

Regardless of the dirt all over his body, Chu Wen turned his head and ran, this delay, the spider swarm has already surrounded closer!

Fortunately, Chu Wen's speed is now extraordinary, and he quickly opened up a distance and caught up with Lei Tiansheng and his party in front.

Lei Tiansheng turned around and shot with a pistol while running, obviously covering Chu Wen and the others behind him.

Chu Wen's heart warmed, probably this is the feeling of a comrade-in-arms, right?

Chu Wen ran to his side and pushed: "Run, I'm faster than you!"

Together, the two of them finally ran out of the forest without danger, and there were already a dozen or so soldiers running back next to the military vehicle outside the woods, and six of them were now carrying a flamethrower on their backs, lined up on guard. Previously, the flamethrower was too bulky to carry because it was just a probe, and it was placed in the car, but now it is used to defend against ghost-faced spiders.

In the next two or three minutes, more than a dozen soldiers fled back one after another, and the ghost-faced spider swarm chased after them, but they were blocked by the fierce flames of the flamethrower, and they couldn't rush out for a while.

"Brother Liu, count the number of people!" Lei Tiansheng shouted.

No one answered, and after a few seconds, a voice sounded: "Company commander, Brother Liu, he didn't come back......"

In fact, not only Brother Liu, but also a dozen or so other fighters failed to come back.

Lei Tiansheng was stunned, wiped his face, and shouted loudly with red eyes: "Withdraw!"

Under the reflection of the firelight, Chu Wen saw unwillingness and anger in his bloodshot eyes.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Wen suddenly stopped at this time.

Seeing Lei Tiansheng looking at him suspiciously, Chu Wen continued: "Don't you think now is the perfect opportunity to destroy the spider queen? The spider swarm has been attracted here, and it is likely that it will be the only one left on the spider queen's side!"

"You're crazy, aren't you? this is too risky!" Lei Tiansheng looked at Chu Wen with an incredulous gaze.

"Then what are you going to do? You also know that these spiders are getting stronger and stronger all the time, and besides, tonight they have already scared the snakes, maybe tomorrow these spiders will change their nests elsewhere?

After hearing this, Lei Tiansheng gritted his teeth: "I'll kill it!"

"No, you guys continue to attract the spider swarm here, I'll go!" Chu Wen held the long knife in his hand, his gaze determined.

"But ......"

"Don't be, trust me!"

Lei Tiansheng looked at Chu Wen, finally nodded, took out two grenades and handed them to him: "Will you use them?"

Chu Wen took the grenade, put down the soldier he was carrying behind him, and without saying a word, quickly bypassed the battle line and re-entered the forest.

Knowing that their flamethrowers wouldn't last long, Chu Wen hurried all the way, and it only took about two minutes for him to return to the Ghost-Faced Spider's lair.

With a glance, Chu Wen quickly found two ghost-faced spiders that were larger than the grinding plate, guarding the entrance of a cave hidden by grass and trees, one left and one right.

Chu Wen had expected this, ordinary ghost-faced spiders actually had a very low IQ, and almost only had the instinct to predate, but the spider queen was a very intelligent existence among monsters of the same level, and the entire spider group was controlled by it, because its own combat effectiveness was not strong, so it was impossible not to leave a few ghost-faced spiders to protect itself.

The two ghost-faced spiders, Chu Wen had the confidence to deal with them, so he shot without much thought.

With the sound of a "bang", the body of a ghost-faced spider trembled, and there was already an extra bullet hole in its head, but it did not die, but let out a strange hissing sound and pounced on Chu Wen, who made two more shots in succession, and it died completely.

But the other ghost-faced spider pounced at this time, spraying spider silk twice at Chu Wen, but they were all dodged, and when they got closer, the ghost-faced spider raised its long bayonet-like legs and kept beckoning to Chu Wen, if it was stabbed, I am afraid that there would be an extra hole in front and back immediately.

But Chu Wen quickly calmed down, and found an opportunity to cut off several of its legs, killing it easily when it was unsteady on its feet.

Standing in front of the cave, Chu Wen groaned slightly, smiled, took out a grenade, opened the safe, and threw it in.

With a muffled sound of "boom", this hole, which had only been dug for a short time and was not deep, collapsed, and Chu Wen faintly heard a miserable scream.

He stood there with his knife on guard, and sure enough, soon, the ghost-faced spider the size of a cart with a particularly large belly picked up the soil layer and crawled out, but there was a basin-sized gap on the side of its big belly, and juice kept flowing out of it.

The moment Chu Wen saw its size, he dispelled the idea of going up and being tough with it, he took out the remaining grenade, smiled again, and ran quickly around the spider seven or eight meters away, and the spider also turned its body with Chu Wen's running, but its legs were broken more than one, coupled with the bulky size, it was extremely difficult to turn.

So Chu Wen went around to the side of its stomach injury and threw the grenade through its wound......

Then there was a muffled "bang", and the big belly of the spider queen was blown apart by half of it, and its legs trembled wildly, and it let out a terrible scream, and after a struggle, it did not move.

Chu Wen smiled: "Sample, fight with me, blow you up!"

Just when Chu Wen was secretly proud, he saw a spider silk as thick as a thumb spurting out from the mouth of the spider that Chu Wen thought was dead, and shot at his chest like lightning!

Chu Wen only felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, and there was a huge pain, and he almost couldn't breathe.

The moment the spider silk sprayed Chu Wen, the end split apart and was firmly wrapped around his abdomen and waist, and before Chu Wen could take a breath, there was another huge pulling force along the spider silk, dragging him towards the back of the spider's mouth.
