Chapter 43: Crisis
"Master, are we going to go in again?" Gate, looking at the dark cave that looked like the mouth of a devouring demon, asked worriedly.
Originally, according to Yang Fan's strategy, if the spider's nest was in the mine, they didn't need to confront the spider head-on, just lead it to the flame trap.
But now, if you want to enter this cave, without a magic lamp, let alone lure the spider into the cave, I am afraid that it will be difficult to walk normally.
Even if the magic lamp could be removed from the cave wall and held in his hand, a magic lamp for each of the four people would not be able to shine far in the dark cavern, so Gat feared that something unexpected would happen in the case of a bad vision.
Of course, Yang Fan also knew this truth, so when he heard Gate's question, he fell into deep thought.
Now there are only two ways to deal with spiders, one is to lure all the spiders in the cave into the mine to destroy them. The other is to find a way to plug the hole.
From the perspective of its own safety, it is the safest way to block the hole, but doing so is equivalent to planting a time bomb, no one knows when the spider will open the cave again, even if the spider will not take the initiative to dig the hole, there is no guarantee that the farmers will not dig the other side of the spider cave when mining gold, after all, the situation in the cave is not known, no one knows what its direction is.
The most important thing is that Yang Fan is a person who is very afraid of trouble, he does not want threats hidden around him, and he must be responsible for the safety of the farmers who will mine gold in the future. So after some thought, he made the decision to go further.
"Yes, let's move on. Everyone has a magic lamp in their hands, Xiao Cheng still walks ahead, remember to use your tongue to think about the surrounding situation at any time, this time everyone must be careful. ”
Since Yang Fan insisted on going in, Gate had no choice but to take a magic lamp from the cave wall and walk to him to protect him.
After a few people cleaned up, they bent down and rushed into the cave with Yang Fan's order.
As soon as they walked into the cave, a rotting stench rushed into everyone's noses, and Gate and the others were better, but Yang Fan was almost fainted by the smoke.
After sticking on the wall for a while to get used to it, the dizziness in his brain gradually disappeared, and Yang Fan began to look at the scene in the cave.
Unlike the level of the mine, the cave is uneven on both the walls and the ground, and the cave is littered with animal bones.
Judging from the direction of the cave, it seems to be a hole from a higher place in the snow-capped mountain, which means that this spider cave is actually deeper than the mine cave, but unfortunately, the end of the mine just passes by this cave.
Originally, according to the idea of ordinary people, it would be good to block the hole directly, but after reading Caro's notes, Yang Fan knew that this was only a palliative method, whether it was the spiders using their special methods to find the blocked hole, or the sound of farmers digging mines to attract them, it was impossible to avoid being dug open by them.
So after Yang Fan looked at it for a while, he urged a few people to go to the depths of the cave, like the mine cave, this cave was also covered with cobwebs, and Gate could only be a "cleaner" again, while Yang Fan kept casting "flame traps".
In the mine, Yang Fan used almost half of his magic power to bury more than a hundred mines, although the remaining mana was less than half, but it was more dangerous than in the mine, so the density of the flame traps was even more than that in the mine.
Along the way, there were more and more bones in the cave, most of them were monster bones, and occasionally one or two human skulls could be found in these bone piles, and several people knew that they were getting closer and closer to the center of the spider's lair, so they raised their vigilance.
Just when Yang Fan's magic power was about to blow up because he kept casting flame traps, Xiao Cheng suddenly raised his upper body from the ground, and the snake's mouth was wide open.
This is the first time that Xiao Cheng has reacted so strongly since he was trapped by the spider web during the day, and without waiting for Yang Fan to order a few people to defend themselves, Keith and another archer quickly put the magic lamp in their hands on the ground, and then took off the longbow on their backs, and took out the arrow from the quiver with their right hand and pulled the bowstring
Gate, on the other hand, prepared a series of fireballs as fast as he could, and threw them towards the cave.
With the illumination of the fireballs, what appeared in front of several people was a large cave the size of a football field, and at the innermost part of the cave was a slightly higher stone platform, on which a big guy twice as big as an ordinary spider was holding a white silk cocoon, his mouth was chewing, and a trace of blood was dripping with its two large fangs.
Under the stone platform is densely packed, hundreds of spiders, these spiders are like worshipping the king, all in the direction of the stone platform, limbs stretched straight on the ground.
In the middle of the cave room, there are large nets, in which dozens of oval silk cocoons of different sizes hang on them, like white lights.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan and the others only felt a cool breath rushing from the tail vertebrae to the top of their heads, their brains exploded, and the cold sweat on their foreheads dripped down involuntarily, and everyone's backs were already soaked in just a moment.
Yang Fan imagined the scene after walking into the spider's nest in his mind more than once, even though he had already prepared in his heart, he was still startled by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect that the number of spiders here was so huge, he thought that there were a few hundred would be good, how did he know that there were thousands of spiders, this was not at all the one or two hundred mines he had planted could be solved, thinking of this, Yang Fan suddenly woke up, and was about to remind everyone to run, but heard a deafening howl from the cave.
Gate's people also woke up from this hoarse howl, and several of them hurriedly looked towards the cave, only to see that a fire was actually burning on the back of the big guy on the stone platform in the cave, and the flames quickly spread to the whole body with its long fluff.
It turned out that just when a few people were in a daze, the fireball cast by Gate happened to hit the back of the spider leader, because the defense on their back was very strong, so this magic did not hurt it at all, but its fluff that was much longer than that of ordinary spiders suffered.
With the howl of the spider leader, the spiders under the stone platform had naturally reflected that there were enemies, and they got up from the ground one after another, turned around and stared closely in the direction of Yang Fan and the others.
Seeing them staring at this side fiercely, Yang Fan only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, as if he had heard its rapid beating sound in his ears.
Secretly biting the tip of his tongue, he finally suppressed his nervousness a little, and his stiff legs finally regained a little sense.
Gently patting the shoulder of Keith who was blocking in front of him, Yang Fan whispered: "Xiao Cheng, you go first, Keith, don't attack or turn around, face them and slowly retreat." ”
Although he didn't know if this method of dealing with dogs was useful, but if he turned around and ran away immediately, Yang Fan was sure that these spiders would definitely chase after him frantically.
