Chapter Seventy-Six: The Man-Eating Spider Swarm
"Search this room thoroughly. ”
With Master Wenlai's order, everyone took action.
"Master, I always feel unsure, you know this feeling, it's like a specimen on a test bench, that deep sense of powerlessness, the danger here is probably beyond control......"
Noncommittal to Lei Luo's words, Wen Lai stroked his beard.
"The fortress received information three days ago, the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom noticed the sudden death of a priest here, plus a team of mercenaries on duty nearby, there was no news at the same time, so the military department sent me to investigate, and the reward for this investigation mission was very high. ”
At the end of the conversation, the old scholar's voice became inaudible.
Suddenly.
The horses tied to the entrance of the village suddenly let out a frightened neighing sound, and the people who were looking for clues were shocked: "Horses!"
They hurried out of the room, bypassing a few dilapidated houses, and when they reached the entrance of the village, they saw only broken reins on the stone pillars.
The soldier named Seth picked up the blood-stained reins with an ugly face.
"It was bitten off by some kind of large creature with sharp teeth. ”
The faces of the people were terrifyingly pale, only Master Wenlai was still in good shape, and seven horses had just begun to be tethered here, and they were gone in such a short time?
"There's blood over here!"
Soldier Orshaman shouted loudly.
Everyone hurriedly ran, and after walking along the bloodstain for a while, they saw a one-man high stone cave on the crimson hard stone wall, which seemed to have been visited for a long time, and there were some cobwebs left on it, and it was pitch black inside.
"Bring the torches. ”
Ivan took the torch and threw it into the cave, but there was no end in sight.
Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at each other, and it was obvious that the culprit was in the cave.
However, there is no doubt that it must be extremely dangerous, should it admit that the investigation mission has failed and slip back, or continue the investigation?
Boom Boom Boom......
At the same time, the sky was thick and cloudy, and the rain was falling, and everyone went into the cave to take shelter from the rain and prevent the torches from getting wet.
Looking at the rain curtain that is getting bigger and bigger, everyone's faces are extremely ugly, the winter rain of the furnace fortress, mixed with a little ice slag, in such ice and rain, it is really a nightmare, and then think back to the steep cliffs on the road when they came, in the dark night in the ice slag rainstorm to move forward, I am afraid that half of the people can return to the fortress is good.
However, turning his head again, the endless deep cave seems to be about to swallow everyone, which is also a terrifying choice.
Master Wenlai took a deep breath.
"Let's go, we have no way back, and if we want to go back in this weather, it's impossible. ”
As a battle-hardened Crucible Mage Advisor, Winley has experienced far more danger than the Academy's scholars, and when faced with danger, he knows exactly what the most desperate situation can be, which is to run away like a fawn that has lost his mind, leaving his back to his enemies.
On the contrary, in the past two desperate dangers, he ushered in a glimmer of life by taking the initiative!
Master Wenlai actually raised his wand, and the illumination technique at the top of the wand instantly overshadowed all the torches, and he took the initiative to walk at the front of the team, and several soldiers looked at each other, after all, they gritted their teeth and followed closely behind Master Wenlai.
The rich rewards of this mission are really hard to give up!
Shandong is rugged, and after walking dozens of meters, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.
"It seems that there are traces of artificial excavation?"
Lei Luo stared at the stone wall of the cave and muttered in a low voice, but no one else responded.
Knowing that there was no separation, the Brunei master, who held up the illumination technique, frowned and said, "Go to the left." ”
This time, everyone walked for a while, not only did they not come to the end, but the passage became wider and wider, and with the turn of the stone road, there was an amazing underground space, very dry, the area comparable to the student square.
With this as the center, tunnels spread in all directions.
Everyone felt like they were in a huge underground labyrinth!
"Yes, it's not natural!"
Oderieu finally responded to Relo's words, and the torch light flickered, flickering in the underground space, trembling and muttering what was in everyone's minds.
"Look!"
It's still the archers who found something.
Everyone walked one after another, but in a small underground stone cave, in a dense white wire mesh, wrapped one after another human skeletons, uncountable, and countless livestock bones scattered on the ground.
"No, no, no......"
Such an apocalyptic and terrifying scene suddenly made a soldier keep retreating, on the verge of a collapse of reason.
Whew, swoop, swoop.
The gasping sound continued, Lei Luo took a deep breath, came to the wire net, gently flicked it, and then slowly turned his head with an ugly face.
"It's cobwebs. ”
As if to respond to Lei Luo's words, in the underground space, there was a dense "rustle" sound in the passages in all directions.
"Ah......h
The soldier finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure anymore and screamed and fled to the same passage he had come from.
"Come back!
Ivan roared.
At this time, even the two so-called magician advisors, Lei Luo and Wen Lai, could no longer maintain their composure, and Wen Lai hurriedly said: "You go collect a corpse bone certificate, and I will collect the specimens for the mission!"
With a wave of his wand, a flying monster with bull bat wings appeared above his head, with a faint black smoke on his body, and Wen Lai jumped onto the back of the summon and flew towards a cave that made a "rustling" sound.
Without saying a word, Lei Luo ran to the stone cave covered with cobwebs, the flame ring flashed, a fireball flew out, and after burning the nearby silk web, he was about to put a skeleton into the space box, but a large number of silver coin-sized pattern spiders crawled out of the eye sockets of the skull, which frightened Lei Luo and kept shaking his arms.
Shout!
As the fireball technique burned a large number of cobwebs, deep in the bone cavern, a black shadow jumped above the head of a soldier at an alarming speed, and it turned out to be a terrifying black-haired spider the size of a basin.
The black-haired spider's distorted grimacea, the grimacea with its chelicera wide open, revealing a pair of eyes without any emotional fluctuations.
Covered with dense barbs, the grimace spider opened its sharp fangs and actually bit out two holes in the soldier's metal helmet, but fortunately, the soldier's metal armor was amazingly strong, and it was not bitten through, and the pale black venom dripped along the helmet.
"Ahh......h
Soldier Dressedine struggled to shake off the horror from his head.
Seeing this, Captain Ivan swung his long sword quickly, and the hideous spider was instantly cut in half, splashing out a large amount of green pus, and the black-haired spider that was cut in half struggled in pain on the ground twice, and then completely immovable.
"Hoo ......"
Ivan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw the soldier splashed with the pus of the black-haired spider, he let out a scream of pain.
This green pus is amazingly corrosive, not only corroding the metal armor, but also the soldier's face was corroded into a blur of flesh and blood in a short time, and the intense pain made the soldier constantly scratch his face, but it was even the blood and flesh that were grabbed together, and the scene was really bloody and cruel.
"Bubbles!"
The bubbles that ejected at high speed knocked a black-haired spider flying at Ivan's sneak attack.
However, this man-eating spider with a large basin has amazing defense, and it didn't even shake when it fell to the ground, and it actually ran towards Lei Luo's side.
As the second strong pressure bubble ejected, the man-eating spider that had previously been harmlessly hinted at by Lei Luo was blown to pieces with a "snap", and Lei Luo hurriedly took out some water and poured it on the soldier's face, hoping to make him feel better.
"The specimens of the investigation mission have been collected, get out of here!"
Master Wenlai, who was riding a strange ox-horned bat-wing summon, flew out of a cave, and it was this naturalist, whose voice was a little panicked at the moment.
"Give it up, this is the dissolving digestive juice in the spider's body, they will melt the body tissue in the prey into a liquid, and then suck it along, the reason why it hurts him so much is because the dissolving digestive fluid of these mutant man-eating spiders is too strong. ”
The soldier's breath in his arms became weaker and weaker, and listening to Lei Luo's explanation, Ivan nodded painfully.
Lei Luo and several soldiers were about to return the way they came, but they saw an incredible number of man-eating spiders gushing out of this cave.
Among these man-eating spiders, there are adult man-eating spiders that are one person tall, and there are countless man-eating spiders the size of a basin.
The soldier who fled in a panic just now was bound into a ball by a large amount of spider silk at this moment, and his face was bulging with dense and strange pus, as if he was still conscious but unable to struggle because of the venom anesthetic effect.
Hiss!
The adult giant spider spits out a spider silk, the white silk fluttering lightly, and after flying thirty meters away, it has become quite slow.
In the panic, the spider silk was dodged by Ivan, but the soldiers behind him let out a frightened scream.
The spider silk seemed to be extremely corrosive to metal armor, easily melting through the soldier's armor and straining it, sending large streams of blood flowing from his arm.
"Go this way!"
Master Wenlai didn't dare to stop for a single step, so he changed the cave and flew in.
Lei Luo and the others gritted their teeth, no longer caring about the screaming soldier who was entangled in spider silk, and turned around after running out of dozens of meters, the dense and countless spiders had completely submerged the soldier, and the screams gradually disappeared in the black spider group.
"Seth ......"
Ivan gritted his teeth.
Everyone followed Master Wenlai into another passage just now, and finally knew what this master was afraid of, just in the passage where he had just collected specimens and escaped, three adult man-eating spiders with black and red fluffy hairs, each fluff had countless barbs, and the speed was amazing to chase towards this cave.
"Ahh
There was a desperate scream behind him again, but Lei Luo didn't dare to turn back, and ran as hard as he could.
At this moment, Master Wenlai also burst out with amazing combat power, and released several powerful skills in a row at the front, killing the oncoming man-eating spider swarm in a large area, and the hole ** was filled with a scorching smell.
