Chapter 69: Refined Coal and the Return

"Where did that fat spider come from?"

Chen Xu reluctantly suppressed the shock in his heart, inserted the torch into the black debris on the side, and carefully observed the hideous thing.

After a while, the spider silk acid attached to the silver horn flowed out, condensed into a semi-solid appearance, clicked, and fell directly on the gravel, and the silver horn was worthy of its glorious achievements in the past to hit the overlord saber-toothed tiger, and the silver light flickered, and the appearance did not change at all.

A gust of wind blew, and the layer of acid attached to the silver horn quickly solidified, like the skin of a poisonous snake, quickly dried up and fell from the silver horn.

"It's really a good thing, the single horn that can kill the beast of the Overlord Saber-toothed Tiger doesn't seem to be as simple as imagined!"

Slightly stunned, a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Xu's mouth, and as soon as he grasped the handle of the silver horn, as soon as he used his arm, he instantly cut the spider that was still struggling under it into four petals.

Dripping with juice, the hideous mouthparts of the human-faced spider completely cracked, emitting a disgusting aura, and then completely struggled to move.

"Could this be a spider's nest?"

After dealing with the sudden appearance of the spider, Chen Xu picked up the torch again, and looked at the still dim space in front of him quite hesitantly, as if he couldn't make up his mind whether he should continue to move forward.

At this moment, in his senses, many terrifying auras suddenly appeared around him, this aura he had just experienced personally, it was the unique spiritual force field of the human-faced spider.

At the moment when he was slightly stunned, the spiritual force field that poured into his spiritual sense had reached more than ten strands, although there was still darkness in front of him, but he understood that in this darkness, there were more than a dozen or even more human-faced spiders rushing towards him.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu's scalp was numb for a while, and he didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly reinserted the torch in his hand into the ground, holding the silver horn in one hand, and slapping the rock wall around him with the other hand.

In the process of traveling in mid-air, he clearly felt that the many spiritual auras on the ground below him trembled slightly, obviously aware of his existence, but maybe there was something more important to do, these terrifying creatures did not pay attention to him, just paused, and continued to move forward.

While secretly wiping a cold sweat, Chen Xu also found that the rock walls on both sides seemed to be in the shape of gourd mouths, stretching parallel to each other at first, but later showing a trumpet shape that rapidly expanded to both sides.

By the time he hit the ground, the firewood he had planted in the ground had been completely blocked by the mountain wall, and he could only see a faint glow of fire.

"Squeak!"

Countless tooth-souring sounds rang out, and within the scope of the firelight, the darkness around the spider that was torn apart quickly surged, and terrifying human faces rushed out of it, circling around the spider that was being divided, and after a long time, they began to swallow silk threads towards the spider's corpse.

Arm-thick silk threads quickly erupted from the mouthparts of the human-faced spider, and soon, the dead spider was entangled, forming a large white cocoon like a bathtub.

When the white cocoon is formed, the surrounding spiders retreat, and a fat spider with a big belly gushes out of the darkness, and the pattern on the back of this spider forms a fat woman's face in a state of crying, laughing and scolding, as if all the expressions in the world are condensed together, so that people can't help but feel cold at a glance.

This spider is obviously the leader of this group of spiders, and its aura is extremely terrifying, in Chen Xu's opinion, this aura is so strong that even if it is not as strong as the previous brass beast, it is almost the same.

As soon as it came out, all the other bucket-sized spiders fell low, their mouths gurgling with acid, and they all trembled as if they were in pain, and soon they were in a puddle of acid in front of the huge white cocoon.

The fat, pot-bellied spider, moving its body almost the size of a bicycle, circled around the white cocoon a few times with satisfaction, and suddenly let out a sharp hiss.

Hearing this, the dozen or so huge spiders around them stopped swallowing acid, and their bodies stretched slightly, and a look of happiness appeared on their faces, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or really so, Chen Xu, who saw it, trembled violently up and down, and almost didn't vomit the overnight meal.

"It's really grandma's essence, did I break into the Pansi Cave?"

There were boundless thoughts in his mind, and in Chen Xu's field of vision, the huge abdomen of the fat spider stood up, and with a slight contraction, it was like a machine gun in its previous life, and countless crystal beads the size of a ping-pong ball erupted from under its abdomen.

As soon as these beads fell into the pile of acid, they quickly formed a thin film on the surface of the body, and at the same time, the surrounding spiders continued to raise their soles and dig up the surrounding black rocks, from which countless black powders rose and buried them in the acid, and soon, these originally crystal clear beads were dyed black all over the body.

"It's laying eggs, it's a female spider!"

This process lasted for about a few minutes, and the fat female spider stopped moving, at this time, its thick abdomen seemed to be deflated, Chen Xu counted it slightly, and found that at this point, this spider had produced hundreds of spider eggs the size of a ping-pong ball.

It seems that this kind of egg-laying activity is also a very debilitating activity for the fat spider, and after laying the eggs, it stopped for a few minutes before it restarted, waving its thick front crow, tearing a hole in the white cocoon, and then filling the eggs inside.

When everything was done, the rest of the spiders began to spin silk again, filling the hole, and after doing that, the spiders did not leave, just crouched around the firelight, quietly recovering their vitality.

"Bitter!"

Sighing secretly in his heart, Chen Xu had no other way at the moment, he could only continue to move forward, now that the back road has been broken, if he wants to return, he will have to wait at least until these big spiders disappear.

But fortunately, when he got to the position he was standing now, the darkness didn't seem to be as strong as before, faintly, Chen Xu seemed to be able to vaguely see that there seemed to be a faint light in the darkness in front of him.

Cheering up his spirits, Chen Xu could only touch the rock wall and walk forward.

Ten minutes later, looking at the white cobwebs in front of him, looking at the white cocoons on the ground, and then looking at the caves that suddenly appeared, as well as the acid that emitted mist on the edge of the cave, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and unconsciously, he seemed to have really broken into the Pansi Cave.

But at this time, his vision also recovered, as if the light-absorbing matter in the previous space did not exist here, and what he had here was just a little ordinary darkness.

Picking open the spider webs with silver horns, carefully walking through these life-threatening acids, Chen Xu exerted a light skill with a strong foot, jumped to a raised mountain rock on the cliff wall, and hung his entire body on it.

Standing here, he could clearly see the scene in this area, under him and behind him, there was a vast dark field, as if there was a mysterious force that was refusing light to enter, and from under him, although it was still dark, it was only darkness.

With Chen Xu's eyesight, he can vaguely see the scene in this area, which is an ecosystem with a complete cycle, not only plants, but also many insects, a little fluorescent mixed together, at first glance, it looks like a jungle under the moonlight.

In the vicinity of Chen Xu's standing in this area, there are countless strange-shaped caves, huge white cocoons are densely covered around the caves, and the terrifying acid almost condenses the air here, filling it with a thin acid mist.

Countless large and small white cobwebs fluttered in the air, seemingly arranging this area into a forbidden place, and there were all kinds of strangely shaped corpses on the cobwebs, each of which was unusually shriveled and looked like it had been sucked clean.

The low chirps came and went, running through the middle of the cave, conveying news that Chen Xu couldn't understand, but it also clearly told him that the owner here was not easy to mess with.

As if he was in the middle of a group of overlord saber-toothed tigers, Chen Xu almost couldn't even breathe, and after two swings in the air, he fell directly, he couldn't stay in this bird place for a moment, but for the sake of insurance, he didn't dare to continue to move forward, so he could only choose to return the same way.

However, at the moment when his footsteps just landed, a flame flickered from not far away, Chen Xu was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his body, but saw a cloud of ghost fire floating in the air, constantly flying at the mouth of a cave belonging to a spider.

With the brilliance of this phosphorus fire, Chen Xu clearly saw the situation at the mouth of the cave, but the ground was paved with a layer of fine debris like soot, and at first glance, he thought it was an asphalt paved road.

The next moment, Chen Xu's eyes opened instantly, and in his sight, as soon as the phosphorus fire appeared, the black powder under it was like a barrel of dynamite, and it burned completely with a bang.

And like a long-arid grassland, this fire was only a little bit at first, but in the midst of the black powder, it quickly spread throughout the area, forming a towering fire that made Chen Xu tremble.

With this burst of firelight, Chen Xu clearly saw the situation here, this was a huge spider nest, a basin-sized human-faced spider lazily lying on the ground outside, and the ground was full of this kind of black dust, and countless cobwebs were lined up one after another.

Large white cocoons were scattered everywhere, and some of them had begun to stir up like boiling bubbles, and it seemed that something was about to come out of them.

Seeing this, Chen Xu realized how lucky he was just now, if he took a wrong step, what would happen to him would be a tragedy chased by ten thousand spiders.

But now he didn't seem to have time to be amazed by this, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that the only thing that awaited the spiders was to turn into a pile of fly ash and add some fertilizer to the plants in this place.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Like the scene of a swarm of bees flying, before Chen Xu could react, a fat spider the size of a bicycle crawled out of the cave, and the silver silk threads were like water guns in the hands of the fire brigade, instantly shrouded in the sea of fire.

These spiders seemed to have been prepared for this situation, one by one spitting out silk threads in an orderly manner, and with good cooperation, it didn't take much effort to condense into a monstrous web above the sea of fire, smothering all the flames in it.

Then, as if pouring rain, countless acids were all poured on the giant web, so that the rapidly dried and burning giant web was moist and strong again, and gradually, there were more and more cobwebs, and the acid became thicker and thicker, and soon, the flame, which was almost impossible to extinguish, was dissipated vividly.

Several car-sized spiders poured out of the darkness, dragging the unusually large web, and quickly flashed into the underground world in front of them, and soon the darkness was restored.

"Is that okay?"

Wiping the cold sweat on his head, Chen Xu was slightly surprised by the spiders' actions, and quickly touched the ground and grabbed the black powder.

Perhaps, he was not very sure before, but after such a scene, he really determined the identity of these powders, which is a kind of pulverized coal, a unique super good fuel, which belongs to the refined coal in the refined coal.

"Grandma, how can there be such an abundance of refined coal here? And according to the situation just now, the more concentrated these spiders are, the higher the quality of the coal mines, it seems that they have a special preference for these things, is it because they have the participation of this refined coal in the way they give birth to offspring?"

Chen Xu couldn't help but think of the scene when the female spider laid eggs before.

"With these refined coals, the efficiency of copper smelting will be greatly increased, and the temperature of the flame will be very good, and, if used well, the coal is not necessarily as powerful as the copper, but these spiders are a problem......"

His eyes flickered, and as soon as Chen Xu's heart moved, he gushed out a sense of joy, but soon, he quickly disappeared because he thought about these spiders.

"No matter what, the cobwebs of these spiders are not afraid of fire, but the fire is not big enough, if there is enough fire, they will be able to wipe them out, but at that time these superficial refined coal will be burned out, but for the sake of those copper mines, as well as the coal mines below, it must be done. ”

With a quick decision in his heart, Chen Xu's eyes flashed, but he didn't plan to take action immediately, before that, he still had a lot to do.

Cautiously returning to the absolute dark place along the way he came, Chen Xu found that the torch was still burning on the ground, and the white cocoon was still alive, but those terrifying spiders were gone.

After a moment's thought, he guessed that the spiders might have been alarmed by the fire and returned to their nests, which saved him some effort.

Quickly came to the place where the white cocoon was, pulled out the torch, Chen Xu didn't dare to stop for anything, unfolded his body, and came to the area where the copper mine was located.

It wasn't until he came to the cold light, away from the dark area, that he let out a long sigh of relief, no matter what, it was not a pleasant thing to walk through this group of spiders comparable to the overlords of the jungle.

After calming down a little, Chen Xu carried a few copper pieces he found, climbed the rope to the cave on the cliff wall, and then ordered the ape-men to bring some big stones from the outside to completely block the hole in this corner.

He didn't want these big spiders to crawl out, because in that case, it might cause a biochemical disaster.

After the apes blocked the hole in the pit below, Chen Xu evacuated the ape-man, and personally chose a huge mountain rock outside, ordered the ape-man to resist into the cave, blocked the passage above, and withdrew everyone in the cave, stipulating that no one was allowed to enter without permission.

At this point, the matter of this copper mine has come to an end for the time being, Chen Xu has had a life and death adventure, and he only got less than ten pieces of red copper, of course, he got a lot of potential things, but none of them can be used immediately.

Before large-scale copper mining, he had to promote the development of the tribe as much as possible, and it became a top priority to integrate the Black Rock ape people into the Vulcan tribe and the people of the Bird Mountain tribe into the scope of his jurisdiction.
