Section 5 Recovering the Gems

Vivien cautiously approached Fang's lair, stopping at the mouth of the cobweb-strewn hole. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info peered through the narrow gaps in the cobwebs as she peered into everything in the lair. Finally, in the world built by White Silk, the thief was found, and it turned out to be an elf man. His body was wrapped in thick cobwebs and hung in the air, leaving only one head exposed.

The elf was terrified and desperately struggling to break free from the cobwebs, but to his despair he found that all his efforts had been wasted. Both physically and mentally, he was completely imprisoned by it. Now, the only way he could resist was to scream, but that pitiful shouting would not change his dangerous situation.

Vivien saw that above the head of the elven thief, the hunter appeared, and a large spider covered in reddish-brown armor and full of spikes slowly crawled down, and quickly spat purple venom at the thief in the web, and the venom sprinkled on the elf's face, corroding his face. It wasn't long before the venom burned through his skin and muscles, invading his bones. The thief has a long mouth, and his face is bloody and fleshy. Pain tormented his body, and screams echoed through the cavern.

The doctor's heart was so frightened that she closed her eyes and did not dare to look any further. Gradually, the thief's cry grew from strong to faint until it died out completely. By the time Vivien opened her eyes again to see what had happened, she was dead in a cobweb with her head hanging down. At this moment, three small spiders crawled down the web, their expressions cheerful and greedy, showing their desire for food. A few ferocious hunters surrounded their prey in the middle, straightened their sharp claws, and opened their lunch.

Doctor Vivien was so frightened by what she saw that she nearly passed out, and she escaped from the cave in despair. Fear still swirled in her mind, and the thought of retrieving the gem was forgotten. She didn't look back and ran as hard as she could, until she reached her cabin.

Vivien, who had lost her potion gems, was no longer able to refine healing potions from plants and minerals. Without the help of the potion, she was simply unable to heal the injured villagers, so she stopped working as a doctor. When the injured came to the door to ask for help, she politely refused their request and did not provide any medicine for the injured to be treated. Gradually, the villagers became angry at Vivien's refusal, and even angrily accused her of being indifferent and damaging the doctor's reputation.

Since then, the villagers no longer seek help from her, nor do they want to associate with her. As a result, Vivian inexplicably became the object of everyone's isolation, and some people even maliciously slandered her for poisoning the river water in the village, because a villager had drunk the river water and died of poisoning.

After telling his story, the doctor lamented, "There is no way out of this world to be a good person, and the rumors of the world have put them to death." ”

Rex comforts her, hoping that she will trust herself and not give up hope. He vows to help her recover the gem and restore her reputation among the villagers. The doctor was impressed, and promised that as long as she could retrieve her potion gem, she would do her best to save his friend.

After lunch, Vivien led him out, and together they went to Fang's cave, intending to retrieve the gems from the hunters' territory. Vivien stood at the door of the cave and said worriedly, "I can only take you here, and you must create the rest of the way yourself!"

"That's enough, you can wait for my news with peace of mind!"

"Good luck. ”

"Okay. Rex waved his hand and walked into the cave with a smile on his face.

The inside of the cave was as Vivien had described, dark, damp, and dimly lit. Along the slippery path, he walked slowly. A few minutes later, Rex arrived near Fang's lair and found the surrounding stone walls covered in gray cobwebs. "They should be nearby!" Rex muttered to himself.

He took the Nightingale's blade in his hand and continued to walk towards the lair further down. On the way, he cleared the spider door, crossed a stream, and finally entered the hunting grounds of the fangs. At this time, he found a body lying on the ground. Rex cautiously approached and found that the corpse had turned to white bones and was still wrapped in thick spider silk. Without the connection of muscles, every bone was scattered on the ground.

Rex guessed that the skeleton might be the elven thief Vivien was talking about. He immediately rummaged through the bones for the potion gem, hoping to find it before the fangs found him. Rex moved sharply, turning the bones upside down, confident that he would succeed soon.

At this time, a wave of fear came over him, and his body twitched. I heard a "sizzling" sound overhead. He looked up and saw three spiders crawling down his silk at a rapid pace. Rex was startled, and he hurriedly rolled backwards, jumping out of the encirclement of the fangs.

And the three spiders landed in place, crawling where he had just stood. A large spider leads two small spiders, and they constantly let out a "sizzling" roar, threatening Rex as he intrudes into the hunting grounds. In their tiny heads, the consciousness of hunting is uninvited.

The hunters attacked, spewing white spider silk from their mouths and wrapping up their targets. The spiders were covered in spikes, and the three of them looked like they were duplicates, and if it weren't for the difference in size, Rex would have mistaken them for doppelgangers. The condensed little head has a grimace on it, and three round eyes are embedded in it. The mouth is like two garlic cloves, covered with black spikes. The garlic cloves parted, and a stream of white silk erupted from the mouth below.

Rex easily dodged their attacks, retreating in a planned way, but not letting up at all. When he was dodging, he was always looking for an opportunity to counterattack, and when he retreated to the mouth of the lair, there was no way back.

These agile hunters are intelligent and know how to use traps to prey on their prey. But they belong to the lower intelligence after all, and in front of the higher intelligent beings of Rex, their trap seems clumsy. Rex first used a retreat tactic to separate them, avoiding the three spiders from besieging him together. He tried his best to deal with them, guiding them to show their mistakes. The opportunity came, and while jumping over the stream, the big spider and a small spider waded across the river and chased after him, while the other crawled alone along the other bank of the stream, intending to steal the bread from the past.

Rex saw the opportunity and rushed to the opposite bank as fast as he could. Slashed at the little spider who was not ready, and thick green slime came out of where the sword had smashed, and the spider's head was cut in half by him. It waved its hands and feet in pain, squeaked, and soon died.

The big spider who waded through the stream was furious when he found out that he had been fooled, and he was even more furious when he found out that the little spider had been killed. With a roar of rage, he quickly crawled towards the opposite bank, followed by the little spider. Rex did the same trick again, running and dodging back and forth from both sides of the stream.

Although the intelligence of these low-level hunters is not high, they are very aware of the principle that they cannot be separated from the team, and the little spider has always followed behind the big spider, leaving no chance for Rex to attack. They chased each other in the cave like this, and no one gave up.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Rex realized that if the tide of the battle did not change, it would be against him. His physical strength is depleted, and when his reflexes are not flexible, a small mistake of his own will cause tragedy and become a meal for them.

The spider still follows closely, much to Rex's distress, and he must find a way to break the deadlock.

Perhaps the repeated following tactics made the fangs tired, and the little spider finally gave up following and stayed next to the corpse of his companion, intending to join forces with the big spider to attack. Because the big spider was right behind Rex, the little spider naively decided that it was in a safe place.

The weak are like this, always showing a stupid side in the face of the danger that already exists, and estimating the opponent with low pitiful wisdom. This small gesture gave Rex a big chance. He had already thought of a plan in his heart, and just crossed the stream and quickly returned to the other bank, and the big spider behind him had not yet come ashore, so he hurriedly returned from the other bank and waded to chase after him.

Seeing that it had been fooled, Rex didn't wait for it to crawl over again, and unleashed a lightning spell with his left hand, which struck the big spider in the face and knocked it to the side and fell unconscious.

Rex broke free from its pursuit, leaping quickly over the stream, sword in hand and slashing at the little spider. It resisted a few times before being chopped into a pulp by Rex. By the time the big spider came to his senses, the two companions had already become dead objects under Rex's sword.

The big spider went completely crazy, and it roared. The silk flew towards Rex like a cannonball, and it rained down on Rex's side, wrapping the grass tightly on the ground. Now there was only one enemy, and he could finally fight it. Rex dashed left and right to avoid the webs, and rushed to the front of the big spider with his sword in hand. Start a one-on-one battle.

The attack of the big spider was very fierce and there was no spare power. The claws on the front resemble arms holding a sword, nimble and accurate, striking Rex in the deadliest neck or chest each time. Rex nimbly dodged those attacks and fired back with his dagger. They attacked each other more than twenty times, and Rex finally seized the opportunity to cut off its head, and those green slimes squirted out from the broken head and sprinkled all over the ground around it.

Rex killed the enemy and was exhausted himself. He sat down on the ground and rested for a while before returning to the lair and continuing to search for the elixir gem near the bones. This time he was lucky, and in a corner not far from the white bones, he finally found it. The gemstones glow with green fluorescence and brilliance. Rex took it in his hand and felt a cool pleasure.

He left the lair with the gem and walked out along the path of the cave. When Vivien saw him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god." You've made it!"

She happily ran over and hugged Rex in her arms. Pat him on the back and say "Thank you, dear, you made it!"

Rex looked tired, but still had his trademark smile. At the same time, he took the green gem out of his coat pocket.

Vivien barely believed her eyes, she covered her mouth with her hands and kept exclaiming, "You've got it, you've got it." It's incredible!" she took the gem, held it in her hand, and muttered, "Oh, I've finally, finally had you again." With that, she kissed the jewel, and the jewel seemed to feel her kiss and suddenly glowed.

A ray of light emanates from the inside of the gemstone, sparkling with brilliant colors. The glow lasted for half a minute before returning to normal. Vivien was in a good mood, and she carefully hid the gem in her pocket, and thanked Rex again.

When Rex mentions his promise to save Isodar, she cheerfully says, "Let's go now, go find your friend." ”

Rex was grateful, and although his physical exhaustion had not been relieved, he was very happy inside. He was ready to set off again, and Vivien had to make good on her promise to go home with her kit and set off with Rex.
