Chapter 182: A Knight Is Not a Butcher

The tide of giant spiders crowded each other and pounced on the hatching room behind the spider, and in the hatching room, the venom of the spider kept hissing and growling, and the newly hatched spiders in the hatching room approached the people trapped at the entrance of the cave from all directions.

"Tully, Catherine, and Sophia, you do your best to stop the spiders outside the cave, and the Knights will divide into two teams to assist the three young ladies, and the rest will resist the attack of the spider queen!" Antonio ordered the crowd in a loud voice.

The knights immediately took action, two of them formed a wall in front of Tali and the other three, spears like a forest to meet the spider swarm, Catherine behind the human wall struck out with two guns, two silver guns rushed to attack, and silver bullets accompanied by gunshots one after another, like hail sprinkled in the spider swarm outside the cave.

The spiders whose heads were shattered by the silver guns and whose fat bellies fell to the ground one after another, and while Catherine was loading the silver bullets, Sophia took the longbow in her hand and mounted five sharp arrows at the same time, jumped up and stood on the shoulders of the two knights, and shot a rain of arrows at the spider swarm.

Despite this, the spiders still rushed to the hatchery one after another, and the spiders in the front row spewed sticky spider silk into the human wall, and several knights were caught off guard, and the spider silk was entangled in their ankles and dragged into the spider swarm, and they were torn to pieces in an instant.

The rest of the knights immediately stepped forward to fill the gap in the human wall, only to hear a chant behind the human wall, and the mermaid guardian jumped into the air with a long fish tail in the churning waves, and pointed his staff at the spider swarm, and countless earth springs suddenly gushed out from the ground in the passage, rushing the spiders into the sky one after another.

The spring soon caused serious water accumulation in the cave, and the surging waves made the spiders' spewed spider silk useless, and Tali's sea-blue eyes flashed, and the water under the spiders' feet quickly formed a huge whirlpool, and the surrounding spiders were all swept into the whirlpool.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the three girls to lead the knights to resist the spider army, Antonio rushed to the spider queen with Murphy, who was holding the holy spear and holy shield, and Murphy, who had the thunder and lightning swords in his hand, followed closely behind the two, wielding spears and swords and rushing towards the spider swarm with teeth and claws.

Antonio took the lead, throwing out a shining golden shield with his left hand, knocking away several giant young spiders that flew up in front of him, and the divine spear in his right hand swept out a golden light, and the flying spearhead dragged a golden chain through the spider swarm, and the young spiders were beaten to pieces, and fell to the ground like mud.

"Follow me to kill the spiders, and the others will take cover!" Antonio retracted the spearhead he had fired, and shouted back to Murphy, and the adventurer's twin swords swung out two dazzling lightning flashes, and where the electricity touched, the young spiders convulsed and fell to the ground.

He rushed past Antonio, his white marble armor reverberating through the cavern with his heavy footsteps, and the young spiders beneath his feet stretched out their sharp fangs and bit at his legs, only to be shattered by the hard marble, and then crushed to pieces by his heavy feet.

Murphy and Antonio rushed to the spider queen one after the other, and a large web fell from the sky, covering the two of them in the web, and the spider queen immediately sprayed white mist thick spider silk at them, sealing all the gaps.

"Commander!" The silver dragon knights who followed behind rushed up to try to help, but they were blocked by the swarming young spiders, and they were soon surrounded by the young spiders that attacked in front and back, and they became unable to advance or retreat.

Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the corner of the cocoon, and then more golden beams broke out of the cocoon, only to hear a loud bang, a violent explosion accompanied by a dazzling golden light to destroy the cocoon, the knight leader clenched the sacred spear inserted into the ground with both hands, and stood in the bright light with Murphy in stone armor.

The surrounding young spiders were shocked out by the air wave set off by the explosion, and the spider was shaken back by the powerful explosion a few steps, and when it released the two front paws protecting its head, it suddenly saw Antonio and Murphy killing from the left and right.

Murphy's left thunder sword swung a beam of lightning at Antonio, and the knight leader raised the holy shield sideways, and the electric light drew an arc from the surface of the holy shield, reflecting to the right leg of the spider's back, and the right front leg of the electrocuted spider was sore, and the left front leg was attacked by the holy light shot by the divine spear at the same time, and his body stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Antonio took advantage of the momentum, and the spear in his right hand pierced through the thick right front leg of the spider queen, and the spider queen wailed, swinging his left front leg to stab Antonio, the knight commander raised his shield to block, Murphy took the opportunity to slash with both swords, cutting off the second leg on the left side of the spider queen, and the spider queen screamed in pain, and stumbled backwards.

"Now, kill it!" Antonio shouted, and the divine spear and lightning swords struck at the spider's head at once, but a giant spider suddenly fell from the sky and stopped in front of the spider, the spear and the twin swords sliced its body, causing it to scream and fall to the ground.

Several giant spiders descended from the hole at the top of the cave at the same time, and frantically pounced on Antonio and Murphy, not hesitating to block the piercing of the blade and protect the spider queen from attack, the spider queen took this opportunity to her huge belly, sprayed a wisp of spider silk at the hole above, and hung herself to the top of the cave.

"Can't let it run away!" Antonio threw his shield at the giant spider that pounced on it, and the holy spear shot with holy light, but it was blocked by a spider that fell in the air, and failed to shoot the spider silk hanging behind the spider.

Murphy's twin swords slashed out several bolts of lightning one after another, all of which were blocked by the giant spider, and the two watched as the spider queen hoisted herself towards the entrance of the cave, shocked by the spiders' behavior of sacrificing their lives to protect the spider.

Just as the spider silk on the tail of the spider was about to completely retreat into the hole, a gunshot that shook the eardrums came, and a silver light flew through the air, penetrating the three giant spiders that fell in the air, instantly shooting off the spider silk, and the spider queen fell to the ground with the three giant spiders that were killed in a wail.

Catherine, who was crouching at the entrance of the cave, quickly filled the projectile, raised the "Luna Gaze" in her hand again and aimed at the spider lying on the ground, and was about to pull the trigger, when she heard Antonio shouting: "Don't shoot!"

She put down the firearm in her hand, and together with Tali and Sophia beside her, she saw a large number of giant spiders crawling up the body of the spider queen, and the newly hatched spiders around her also gathered on the body of the spider queen, covering the spider with their own bodies, and looking at everyone with their dense little eyes.

Antonio watched them quietly, and he felt a strong fear in the spiders' eyes, which shocked him, and he was sure that they knew what they might face, and their fragile bodies could not help the spider queen resist any attack, but they still chose to stand in front of them and protect their injured mother.

Antonio's heart was shocked, he was silent for a moment, stretched out a hand to the spider back, and then slowly stepped back, Murphy beside him and the silver dragon knights behind him also stepped back.

The spider queen lying on the ground watched them silently until they retreated to the entrance of the cave, and the spider queen suddenly let out a long roar, and the spiders who were blocked by Tali with magic heard the voice of the spider queen, and no longer rushed madly into the cave, but quickly retreated like a low tide.

"Let's go, get out of here. Antonio said to the crowd behind him, and Sofia asked reluctantly, "Is it just gone? If it is allowed to live, more soldiers will be killed, maybe not just soldiers!"

"We can't kill it," Antonio lifted the mask of the silver helmet and shook his head solemnly: "It's not just a monster, it's the mother of countless children, killing it is equivalent to slaughtering a family, we are here to investigate the case, not to slaughter, the knight is not a butcher." ”

He silently lowered his head and made a prayer gesture, then raised his head again and said, "Give it to Master Augustine, if we find out that it is not a murderer in the future, the Great Druid will give them a good home, and if it is really the murderer of the Elven King, it will not be too late to deal with them." ”

The people present nodded thoughtfully, Sophia chewed on the words of the knight leader, suddenly remembered her dead father and brother, and couldn't help but glance sympathetically at the spiders who were still clustered around the spiders, and nodded approvingly.

At this moment, a small figure in a black feather skirt appeared in front of everyone, people looked at the little Lori in front of them blankly, she was sitting on the body of a young spider, grabbing its two front legs with her hands, and the young spider carried her slowly crawling in front of everyone.

"Are you done fighting? are we leaving?" Lilith looked back at everyone curiously, Antonio and the others looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and the little Lori jumped down from the young spider, touched its head with her little hand with black silk gloves, kissed it on the head, and then let it go.

The young spider rubbed one of her front legs on the little Lori's leg, and then turned around and crawled slowly towards the spider, Lilith stood in place and looked at its back, her eyes flashed with some kind of nostalgia, until the young spider crawled on the body of the spider, she pressed the nostalgia for her mother, and gently wiped the moist corners of her eyes with her little hand.

"Can we go back? I'm kind of thinking bad wolf. Lilith turned into a little owl and flew over Catherine's head, lay down and whispered.

"Come on, let's go back. Antonio agreed softly, took one last look at the spider, and turned away with the group.

The group left the queen spider's lair and returned to the lake of the virgin to take the griffin back to Lunar Shadow City, where Antonio informed the elven princess Eva of the investigation and showed Eva the runes on the wall of the spider's hatchery that Tali had copied.

"This rune looks so old that I can't fully decipher its meaning. Eva shook her head in embarrassment as she read the runes.

Antonio frowned when he heard this, and was about to ask if there was any other way, but Eva said again: "However, I can take it to the Grand Elder of the Moon Temple to see, he should be able to help us figure out the meaning." ”

She first ordered someone to take Antonio and the others to the dining room for breakfast and rest, and she hurriedly left with the runes, and went to the Moon Temple to ask the Great Elder for help.

"Once Her Highness Eva has figured out the meaning of the runes, Murphy and I will immediately set off for the Oak Sanctuary to discuss the existing clues with Rogge, and the rest of you will stay here to rest for now. Antonio said to the crowd.

Before the words fell, the door of the restaurant suddenly opened, and Eva's figure in a green dress hurriedly entered, and Antonio immediately got up to greet him and asked, "Your Highness, what did the Great Elder say?"
