Chapter 70: The Spider's Den (Part II)
"What is this slimy thing?" Danny held out his left hand, and the viscous clear liquid slowly ran between his fingers.
Jonah looked around, walls of red flesh covered in the liquid. "The lubricating fluid in the digestive tract doesn't seem to be corrosive. The digestive system here is completely active. ”
After a couple of conversations, the squirming began, the walls contracted violently, and the three of them were huddled together again, and the face of the astrologer's apprentice involuntarily pressed against Hannah's chest, "Yes, I'm sorry!" Jonah apologized with a red face, twisting his neck vigorously, but he couldn't move his face away from the soft wrap.
"Nothing. Pay attention to the next exit. Hannah looked unconcerned, "Can you see the map?"
"As long as Danny lifts his foot a little bit, I can move my arms...... All right!" Jona finally held the map to his ear and turned his face sideways, barely making out the lines of the paper out of the corner of his eye.
"It's coming!"
Powerful digestive muscles catapulted three human cannonballs forward, the ubiquitous viscous liquid nearly suffocating Jonah as he coughed incessantly to prevent his nasal passages from becoming clogged with mucus. The soft touch of his face and ears made his heart pound, and the scent of Hannah was like nothing, and it took Jonah a lot of effort to focus on the map, "Ahem...... Turn right ahead!Three, two, one!"
Everyone used their own parts to exert force on the flesh wall, and a small cave appeared on the right side of the front at the same time, and if it was a little later, it would miss this entrance and fall straight into the cavity at the end of the digestive tube. "Ahh......h
Perhaps his prayers worked, and just as the support of several people was reaching its limit, the end point on the map appeared ahead, "And now, cargo dude?" Danny asked weakly, poking his head out from between his legs, spitting out the slime in his mouth.
"That's the end of the map, let it be......" replied the astrologer's apprentice.
After a few seconds, the crowd felt empty beneath them, and the stress vanished, and Jonah activated the illuminated star array in the air, revealing a huge cavern two hundred yards square, which was their destination, the legacy of the Sand Thieves, if the Cherry Blossom Tree Map wasn't a vicious joke.
Danny Stewart quickly lifted the hem of his robe to cover his mouth and nose, "What if there's that damn pink mushroom down there?"
"What if there's a whole rock underneath?" Hannah clutched the magic pistol in her right hand and held the red cloak in her left hand.
The brief fall was soon over, and Jonah felt his back touch with some kind of soft object, which very gently helped him to defuse the momentum. A white shadow and a red shadow landed beside him, "Not a mushroom?" The astrologer apprentice turned his head to look around and asked the Stewart siblings.
"No! it's awesome!" Danny lay on the white floor with his limbs spread out, and fell along with the ground, "Whatever it is, it's really comfortable...... I bet it's more comfortable than the velvet mattress in the Harimayan Palace in the City of Gold...... Leave me alone, let me sleep for a while, I don't have the strength to do it, I need a good rest......"
Hannah's cold voice came, "We're in even bigger trouble, idiot brother. ”
"What could be more troublesome than a phantom?" Danny simply closed his eyes.
Jonah tried to sit up, but with a strain on his waist and abdomen, he suddenly found that his whole body was firmly glued to the ground, and he couldn't move at all. He barely turned his face sideways to observe the situation, and it didn't take long for him to understand what Stewart's contemporary head of the house meant. "It's not a ground ......," Jonah said with a slight tremor in his voice, "it's a ...... Cobwebs ......"
"Hehe, Cobweb. Cobwebs inside large bugs. So there must be spiders too?" said the Stewart man, nonchalantly.
"Above your head. Hannah said expressionlessly.
"Oh. Danny glanced up at the top of his head. The calf-sized creature with long purple fur dragging a huge belly and sharp limbs dripping black venom was hanging from a wrist-thick white filament, looking at him with eight eyes as red as coals.
The boy from the Stewart family nodded, turned around and said to the two partners, "Do spiders eat people?"
"According to the relevant chapter of the Geographical Estimation of the Western Continent, web-forming spiders generally feed on small insects and myriapods. Jonah replied in a low voice, "Of course, that's for normal body shape." I heard that there is a large fist-sized web-forming spider in the mountains of Bazeral, which can prey on birds and small animals, as for this spider......
“...... Does it hurt when you're eaten by a spider?" Danny Stewart's eyes were wet.
"According to the relevant chapter of the "Geographical Estimation of the Western Continent", when the spider eats, it first injects a digestive enzyme into the prey, causing the insect to be unconscious, convulsive, until it dies, and then the muscle turns into liquid, and then sucks and feeds...... I guess it doesn't hurt, right?" replied the astrologer's apprentice honestly.
"Ziga!" the spider suddenly let out a strange chirp and swooped down into a purple light, and Jonah saw from the side that the mouthparts at the end of its head bloomed like flowers, revealing its mouth full of sharp teeth and stinging limbs dripping with foul venom, "Be careful, Danny!" He struggled violently to jump, but was bound in the web by the blue robe that was too tightly fastened, and he couldn't move no matter how he shook.
Gunshots that never disappoint are duly heard. "Bang bang, bang!" the gun emitted a scorching steam, and the scorching bullet hit the giant spider's head accurately, bright green blood gushed out of the wound, and the spider screamed in pain, and the spider shrank and shrank its silk into the sky. "Hannah!" the astrologer's apprentice exclaimed in surprise, turning his head to look back at it as if he were electrocuted.
Hannah Stewart stood on his red cloak with two guns in hand, her gray-green eyes coldly scanning the ceiling for signs of enemies. There was nothing left on her body except for a corset, shorts, and a belt, and her delicate chocolate-colored skin reflected the light of the illuminating star array like the finest silk, and Jonah closed his eyes, and the retina was deeply imprinted with the woman's slender legs, muscular lower abdomen, the soft and powerful curves of her waist, and the moving ups and downs of her chest.
"Take off your cloak and be on guard. The contemporary head of Stewart's house gave instructions to his brother. "Jonah, find a way to break through the cobwebs, we need to go down there. She pointed down with her chin and motioned for Jonah to look.
"Yes, yes. Jonah looked down with a red face, and the cobwebs were in the middle of the cave, and the layers of tough spider silk cut the entire cavity in half, and there was a faint golden reflection underneath, but through the cobwebs, it was impossible to see really.
There was a hissing crack, and Danny Stewart shook off his white robe and jumped up, took two steps forward, and took a stance, turning the dagger twice in his left hand: "Yes,...... Now let's see who's eating whom, hum, spider cooking, that's a new challenge for the culinary world of the Southern Continent......"
"Danny?" said my sister.
"What?" the brother looked at her inquiringly.
"You're an idiot. Hannah commented without any emotion.
"What am I doing again?" Danny burst into a rage, but did two pull-ups and couldn't jump. He looked down and saw that the soles of his boots were once again firmly covered by cobwebs as he took two steps forward and stepped out of the reach of his robes. “...... This ......"
The astrologer's apprentice laboriously untied his straps and escaped from his large robes, pulling out his precious fawn skin bag and tying it to his body. "I'll shoot to the front right with the Attack Array, you guys be careful to dodge!" he held up Sila Phina, aiming for the thinner part of the cobweb.
The Stewart siblings did not answer. In the shadows overhead, a dozen giant spiders silently hung down their bloated bodies, their limbs clicking open and closing, signaling threat. Danny immediately crouched down and quickly untied his shoelaces and pulled his foot out of the boot, "Hell, fourteen silver coins worth cowhide boots, hand-sewn by the Tocharian Empire, just worn for half a year!" he took a step back and returned to his robe, looking at the boots with a heartache.
"Next!" Hannah waved her hand, throwing the "Summer White Sakura" to her brother, holding the "Lame Henry's Prosthetic" with both hands, and adjusting the output power of the steam machine to the maximum, "I'm in charge of the left, you are in charge of the right, the magic crystal in the magic pistol can shoot about ten times, save some use!"
"Everything in the world is a projection of the stars on the zodiac, and we live, have, communicate, genetic, create, manage, share, change, transcend, realize, communicate, and introspect, all of which are viewed from the stars. In awe, always look up. Please lend me the power of the starry sky ......"
Jonah recited the scorching words of the first Mentor, gripped the Mark of the Gods, and tossed the 130-77 starline to deliver energy to the star array at the tip of the staff. The "Mushroom Farm Trident" shot out, devastationively piercing through layers of cobwebs, bursting into a steaming flame on the diagonal cave wall. Beside him, the scorching trajectory of lead bullets and the energy rays of magic pistols crisscrossed him, and fireworks bloomed in the swarm of strange spiders in the air, "Don't fight, jump down!" The whole cobweb shook violently, and Hannah shouted and shot a spider in the head.
"You go first!" Danny gripped his pistol firmly in both hands, and with each fire, a spider emitted scorched white smoke and wailed back into the darkness.
Hannah didn't say much, her legs jumped high and kicked her brother out, "Ahhh......h Jonah glanced back at Hannah, nodded, and leaped into the unknown at the bottom of the cave.
