Chapter 297: Giant Tarantula
Or Lilith's point of view:
"Dear Miss Lilith, I can only send you here."
"Ugh...... Why, isn't it good to take me to the surface, and here I don't know the way."
"Hehe, Miss Lilith, I suddenly remembered that I still have some things, so I can't accompany you, this is the map of the sewers, you can take it and follow the marked route."
I was taken to a dark underground tunnel by a member of the Cult of Two Gods.
I plan to go through the underground passages and sneak into the palace.
Why can't you just enter from above?
Because of the Cult of Two Gods, you must enter the palace on a special Sunday to worship.
Even the Pope is not allowed to enter the palace at any time except on Sundays.
Therefore, in order to enter the palace, it is impossible to blend in on the ground, and can only be entered through a wide sewer.
The problem now is that before I am halfway there, the masked disciple in front of me will let me complete the rest of the journey alone.
It's really weird.
Although I was reluctant, I had to take the map and move on with the torch, and the cultist ran away as soon as he slipped away, leaving me a little confused.
I had been lifted from my disguise and walked on the concrete road, next to the stinking ditch, and above it was a whole arc-shaped road.
The sewers cover the entire palace and are so large that one can clearly hear the echo of footsteps when walking in it.
To be honest, I'm kind of thinking about Randy now, if only he had come along, but unfortunately he was left in church to discuss things with the Pope.
Walking alone in the dark underground passages, it is inevitable that there is some uneasiness.
I'm not afraid, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and if I am an ordinary little girl, I guess I don't even dare to go.
As I recall, the sewers were guarded by a monster.
According to the Pope, as long as it walks quietly at noon, during the lunch break, it will not be noticed, so I try to take it as lightly as possible.
Following the route marked on the map, I passed a corner when I noticed something unusual.
On the wall on the side of the corridor, there is an oval-shaped cocoon.
Curiously walking over to check, I looked down and found a small spider on the ground, and trampled them to death as they crawled on top of me.
With that out of the way, I noticed that next to the cocoon, there was a cross-iron sword.
The sword looked good, with brown lines on it, full of lines, and very comfortable to touch, and I took it in my hand and made two strokes.
Saying...... What's in this cocoon?
I leaned over the torch and saw a large shadow inside, the silhouette of which looked like a person trapped inside.
Suddenly, one of the hands inside slapped against the wall of the cocoon, startling me.
"It's human!"
I was sure that there were people trapped inside, so I quickly cut the cocoon with my sword to try to rescue the people inside.
But when I broke through the cocoon, I was amazed by what was inside.
"Plop".
A wizened figure rolled out of the huge insect cocoon.
Judging by the outfit, he should be an adventurer, his shirt is gnawed to tatters, thin to skinny, his eye sockets are deeply sunken, and there are no eyeballs.
He was dead, his mouth open, and the expression of horror still lingered on his face.
A large swarm of black spiders emerged from it and struck in my direction.
I strode back, waving my torch to disperse them.
These spiders are poisonous at first glance, covered with black hair, don't look at their small size, if they bite them, their skin is estimated to fester, just like this dead adventurer, no part of his body is intact.
I felt deeply uneasy, I felt that this place was really unlucky, and suddenly I understood why the previous disciple had left me and ran away.
He was afraid of what was inside.
Thinking of this, I clenched my sword and marched forward vigilantly.
"Hey, this is ......."
The further I went, the more human objects I saw, jumbled on the ground.
There are armor, weapons, hair, and even bones.
In the stinky ditch flowing next to it, there was a pungent smell and a smell of blood.
More and more, I felt that this was a dangerous place, that it was simply too weird.
It's hard not to feel uneasy in this gloomy environment.
As I walked inside, there was more and more cobwebs on the walls, dripping slimy.
I heard a "click" sound in the corner, so I pointed the torch in the direction it came from.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
It was a huge figure, with eight blackthorny legs and a large cyst on its tail.
It's a giant tarantula!
At the moment, it is "sleeping", with its back to me.
The reason why I heard the sound of "click" was because it was grinding its teeth, and there were several incomplete skeletons lying horizontally and vertically beside it, and there were several insect cocoons hanging upside down above.
Apparently, they all died, killed by the giant tarantula.
I don't want to mess with this guy, I guess it's very likely to be a monster guarding the sewers, and it's said to be a beastmaster, so it's not easy to deal with.
Just as I was about to sneak around it, I felt a very itchy nose, and at some point, a small spider ran up to my nose, but fortunately the little spider didn't bite me, otherwise I would have been disfigured by the toxin.
Slap it away, stomp it hard, and I walked away.
"Ahh
The sudden sneezing made me feel like a thorn in my back, and just now, my body felt wet on my thighs due to physiological reasons.
This damn little spider!
I want to stomp on that little spider a few more times now, because it causes me to sneeze, and more than one, in a series.
"Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze!"
After the sneeze was done, my sneezing echoed throughout the sewer.
Turning around, as I expected, the giant tarantula, woken up by me, roared violently.
I ran around and didn't want to be treated like lunch.
There was a tremor on the ground, and when I turned around, I was shocked to see the giant tarantula jump up, climb upside down on the top of the corridor, and then quickly approach me.
In the blink of an eye, the giant tarantula reached the top of my head, less than a meter away from me.
It pounced, and the two sawtooth teeth rubbed together with a terrifying "click".
I jumped diagonally to dodge as I picked up my cross-iron sword and slashed upward.
Thankfully, I managed to dodge it, and I was not crushed into a pulp, but I was pinned down by it.
Against the blade of the sword were two front paws, and the remaining legs of the worm were coming at me in all directions.
It was so hard that I couldn't breathe, and I withdrew my sword, dodging left and right, dodging the attack, and then doing a backflip to distance myself.
Now it's my turn to attack.
I slashed out my sword aura.
The sword qi made a sound that broke through the air and struck the giant tarantula.
However, my attack actually did nothing to it,
Its defense was incredibly high, not only withstanding the sword qi, but also bouncing off a large area of black thorns.
I turned the sword in my hand into a beautiful sword flower, and the blade of the sword spun to block the black thorns that burst in.
I let out a burst of applause, taking advantage of the gap when the giant tarantula rushed over, condensed the fighting energy, poured into the sword body, and slashed down.
"Boom!"
The sound of bombardment was heard.
This move was played by me to the fullest, and the sword light flashed out, and the released sword qi swirled and condensed into a long dragon, colliding with the giant tarantula.
The cement on the ground was shaken by the attack I had just made.
I looked at the broken wall, and the big hole was there
It was caused by the attack I just had, and there was no giant tarantula around it, so it should have been shattered by the sword qi along with the wall, right?
Just as I was about to leave, I was shocked to find that the big hole that I had blasted out had eight red dots shining inside, and the red dots slowly enlarged until the eyes inside were revealed.
It was the eyes of a giant tarantula, as big as a brass bell, emitting a red light, and the whole thing crawled out of it.
I attacked it decisively, but it jumped out of the way.
It crawled onto the side wall, the cyst on its tail squeezing violently, spewing out a cloud of slimy silk.
"Damn!"
My right hand holding the sword was entangled in spider silk.
The whole person was pulled in the direction of the giant tarantula by a strange force.
Plunging my sword into the ground, I barely stopped, feeling my arm entangled in a python, and my muscles trembled.
The giant tarantula tugged hard, I didn't grasp the hilt of the sword, and the whole person was dragged by the arm and dragged over.
The giant tarantula opened its jaws to greet my lunch that was about to be put in its mouth.
I was very scared, my whole heart was terrified, and I regretted provoking this beastmaster-level monster.
Seeing that I was about to be devoured by it, a huge fireball illuminated the entire dark underground passage.
The silk wrapped around my arm melted, and I was able to get out.
Who the hell is it?
If it hadn't been for the fireball just now, which hit the giant tarantula and burned the spider silk in the middle, I'm afraid I would have been swallowed by it a long time ago.
"Yani, you're so good, hit it!"
"Hehe, this is the first-level magic I just learned...... Watch out, Shikari, it's still alive, it's amazing, it's eaten by dozens of adventurers who came to hunt!"
"You two fools, get out of the way!"
Three figures caught my attention.
It was three stunning beauties, one with shoulder-length black hair and a white skirt uniform from the University of Magic.
The other is a blonde-haired elven beauty with a full body, ***.
The rest looked very cold, wearing a boy's style trousers uniform.
The cold guy pushed away the two beauties in front of them, allowing them to dodge the spurs that shot at them.
She pulled out the iron sword behind her back and rushed towards the giant tarantula at great speed, transforming into four shadow clones at the same time, attacking from different directions.
The giant tarantula jumped to the top, dodging the sword aura and fireballs that shot straight through.
The elven girl shoots two explosive arrows that knock the giant tarantula down.
"Ghost Path Sword: Rainbow!"
The moment she landed, the cold-looking blonde beauty turned into a rainbow light, collided with the giant tarantula, and cut off the two legs of the giant tarantula full of black thorns.
