Chapter 392: Cobwebs Hanging in the Air

Spider silk itself is a protein, and when it is scorched by the flames, it emits a pungent smell that constantly wafts out of the hole leading to the spider's nest, causing the humans, goblins, and parrots next to the chariot to cough uncontrollably.

Lukka casts a bubble spell that envelops everyone inside, keeping out the smell and smoke.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, there was finally no movement in the nest, and there was no shrill hissing of the spider queen or fire.

"Done?" Ollie's tone was visibly unsure.

"Just take a look?" Phil walked forward, and if Lukka hadn't grabbed him by the collar, the bubbles would have burst by him.

"Be cautious. Lukka said, pulling out a few pieces of cloth from the capital and distributing them to everyone—all the napkins he had picked up from Gavin's study.

The others followed his example, slightly dampening the cloth with water and covering their nose and mouth around their faces, and Lukka removed the bubbles.

At the hole in front of him, the car obviously couldn't drive through, Lukka turned around and removed the headlights, held them in his hands, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and led the lair away.

Even though the summoned grease has burned out, the path to the lair is still difficult. The cobwebs on the ground were not paved in a shape that was easy to walk on, and with the baptism of flames just now, the layer of spider silk on it had been burned to ashes, and although it no longer had viscosity, it was either slippery under your feet or almost stuck in the holes in the web.

Further on, the passage has a slight downward slope, and Luca is half walking, half slipping down as a slide. At the bottom of the lair, he patted the ashes off his clothes and stood up with his staff propped up on his body.

The gray-white cobwebs were no longer visible on the ground, replaced by a thick layer of dark gray ash that also emitted scorching heat.

Overhead, several broken cobwebs hung half-dead, seemingly escaping the flames, but when the breeze from the cave mouth blew, they also turned into ashes and slowly drifted away in the air.

Directly in front of Luca, under the innermost wall of the lair, there were the most dense cobwebs, where the spider queen had been entrenched, and now only a hill of dark gray ash was left.

"Doesn't seem to be a problem," Phil said, pulling out the orb and glancing at it, "Lind is right below us. ”

Ollie poked the cobwebs at the ground beneath her feet with the tip of her sword, "So what are we going to do next, do we make a hole in the bottom?"

"If I knew this, I should have borrowed Gavin's excavator. Luca said.

Before he could finish speaking, the floor of the lair shook violently.

Several people were unsteady on their feet, either squatting down, or balancing on all fours. In a panic, the headlights in Luca's hand were also thrown aside, and the lights projected the silhouettes of several people on the uneven stone wall, constantly shaking, making people look a little creepy.

"Could it be that the spider queen is still ...... Oops!" Phil looked up, "It's really alive!"

Instead of getting up, Lukka sat down on the ground and snapped out a few light spells that attached to the walls and dome of the lair.

This dark cave is the home of the spider queen, and it obviously doesn't need light when it lives here all year round, but if Lukka and the others are in the same darkness, their combat effectiveness will obviously be greatly reduced.

However, there is no queen in the lair illuminated by the magic light source.

"Maybe it's just an earthquake?" asked Ollie, confused.

"No, it's not an earthquake. Lukka looked ahead, where a man-tall knoll of cobwebs and ashes had now turned into a flat field.

"It's down there!" Phil immediately judged.

At the same moment, a sharp giant claw poked upwards from the cobweb-made ground, less than two meters in front of Luka.

Fortunately, the spider queen who was lying in ambush below couldn't see the specific situation in the nest clearly, so she just carried out a few random attacks, piercing a few large holes in the already burned cobwebs on the ground.

The magic light passed through the entrance of the cave, and everyone saw that the ground composed of this spider web was not really the ground, but a giant spider web hanging in the air, and it was at least ten meters away from the solid rocky ground below.

Several of them immediately retreated in the direction of the wall, and at least closer to the wall, the cobwebs looked stronger. It's just that everyone's movements are a little embarrassed, except for Ollie, who is quite neat, everyone else is in a rolling and crawling posture.

The spider queen found that her attack had failed, so she no longer had no blind poke from her target, but used her giant claw to cut through the spider's web and climb up again from below.

This time, instead of attacking, it stood still, scanning the intruder in front of it with its gray eyes without pupils.

"It's such a big fire, how come it doesn't burn at all!" McCorbe said with his back pressed against the stone wall, his voice trembling.

"Did it hide under the cobwebs and didn't burn?" Ollie guessed.

"Try it. As he spoke, Phil pulled a Molotov cocktail out of his pocket, didn't light it, just knocked it on the wall and threw it at the spider.

The flame in the bottle burned happily, but the place where it fell was at least two meters away from the spider's queen. In terms of arm strength, Phil is probably not as good as Luca.

The bottle tumbled around a few times and fell through a hole in the cobweb.

Phil quickly took out another Molotov cocktail and handed it to Ollie next to him.

Ollie shook her head helplessly, and did as he did, slamming the wall lightly, and then throwing the bottle out with one hand.

The glass bottle began to burn in the air, and after being smashed on the shoulder of the spider, it firmly clung to it, and the flames immediately burned to the maximum.

The spider queen didn't seem to care about this little flame at all, and didn't even bother to dodge, so she let the bottle glow on herself, and it didn't take long to run out of fuel.

It shook its body, shaking the bottle off with the ashes, and its dark gray patterned body was undamaged.

"It's magically protected!" the words of silence startled everyone.

"Are you sure?" Lukka was a little confused, it stands to reason that if there was a shield of magic, he should be able to feel it.

"I'm pretty sure!" Shut up and raise his left wing, blocking in front of one eye, revealing only the one with the broken Cretan lens strapped to it.

It continued as it looked closely, "This shield is different from normal magic shields, not suspended on the surface of its body, but fused with its skin, nay, outer carapace. ”

Lukka hadn't figured out how to deal with it, but Queen Spider had lost patience.

It raised a giant claw and swung it at Lukka.

Lukka unleashed several spells in a row, but whether it was an ice spear, a fireball, or a wind blade, all of them were bounced off by the outer carapace of the spider's magically protected outer carapace.
