Chapter Seventy-Eight: Goal: Hunt Black Spiders
When I got closer, I realized that the island in the lake was actually hollow.
Looking inside from the half-height entrance, it is gloomy and dim, and the cry of "woo" made by the Shanghai wind blowing through the gaps between the stones is quite terrifying.
Roy, the "Flame Lion", was the first to take the lead, followed by Joyce and others, entering the hollowed-out island.
Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the gaps in the mountains, illuminating the scene in front of you.
The rocks are craggy, the road is rugged and uneven, and there are three forks in the road directly ahead, and I don't know where they lead...... The whole thing feels like an old tunnel that has been abandoned halfway.
Roy's right hand lifted and a ball of flame made the cave much brighter.
"There's a hunting black spider living here, that's the ultimate goal of our trip." He couldn't hide his excitement.
"Don't be verbose, just tell us how to do it!"
Rosario urged impatiently, he was in a hurry to finish his hunt so that he could go to the lake to find his target, which was his best hope of being promoted to Sequence 7 "Navigator...... After all, the Storm Church has almost monopolized the extraordinary materials of the Tyrant Path......
Roy was in a great mood, ignoring Rosario's eagerness, and he explained slowly:
"The hunting black spider is an extremely intelligent creature, it is good at camouflage and concealing itself, luring enemies into traps, and finally delivering a fatal blow."
"This island is home to black spiders, and it's all too familiar with it, so the most critical question for this hunt is, how do you find it?"
"That's what I asked you to ...... The purpose of the three. ”
He threw the flames straight ahead, causing them to float in the air, illuminating the three forks in the road, commanding:
"Our troops are divided into three ways to search, the primary purpose is to find the traces of hunting black spiders, don't try to be strong, just entangle it, and send a signal at the same time, and the other two rush over to support as quickly as possible, and work together to kill it."
"A very simple plan." Hunter made an assessment.
Roy responded: "The more complex the plan, the more likely it is to find flaws and end up failing." ”
"How strong is the black spider hunting?" Hunter asked.
"It can't kill any of us in a short period of time......"
Roy's words paused abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Joyce...... He still didn't understand why he took this follower with him, but Hunter insisted on it, so he let it go, anyway, it wasn't his own person, and it didn't matter if he died......
"I don't have a problem anymore." Hunter said.
Roy turned his gaze to Rosario the Siren, who said in a loud voice:
"Then what are you waiting for, I'll go in first, you guys follow!"
After speaking, he chose the fork in the middle and broke into it on a rampage.
Joyce and Hunter glanced at each other, chose the fork in the road on the left, and walked cautiously inside.
In the end, Roy walked into the fork on the right, which was also a coincidence, the last time he came here, he also chose the right fork, but that time he played hide and seek with the hunting black spider for a long time......
The roads in the mountains lead in all directions, like a labyrinth...... No, it should be said that it is a silk hole, and the uneven stone walls are entwined with more or less spider silk, which is full of toughness.
The silence around was audible even the sound of breathing, and the further you went, the denser the spider silk became, and it seemed that it was approaching the nest where the black spider was hunting.
Suddenly, Joyce stopped.
Hunter first quickly checked the surrounding environment and found nothing unusual, and then asked:
"What's going on?"
Joyce was silent for two seconds, then said with a smile on his face:
"The first mate is starting to do it."
In the moment just now, he really felt the digestion of the "instigator" potion in his body.
During the three days of the voyage, he continued to spread all kinds of negative news, convincing the first mate that Captain Roy was planning to do something to him...... He also used the ability to instigate and magnify the competition between sailors and turn them into enemies of each other......
When Roy the "Flame Lion" was there, he was naturally able to suppress all dissatisfaction, but when he left, a fire inevitably broke out on the ship...... I don't know which faction will win, but that doesn't matter anymore, what Joyce needs is death and disaster, and he doesn't care who dies...... Anyway, it's all pirates who have done some bad things......
"So what do we do next?" Hunter asked, keeping an eye on the movement around him.
The two purposes of this trip: to get "all the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish" and to digest the potion...... Both have been accomplished, and even if they were to leave immediately, it would be considered a complete merit, which is why Mr. Hunter asked.
But Joyce, who clearly wanted more, replied:
"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan, we haven't gotten the potion recipe for the 'Arsonist' yet!"
"What's more, hunting black spiders is the main material of Hunter Path Sequence Six, and it is also not to be missed."
Hunter naturally understood this truth, but in his eyes, the safety of the young master was more important......
What Joyce thought was: if God doesn't take it, he will be blamed!
Even if it's two against two, his side is not lagging behind, not to mention that the character of "Kraken" Rosario is so irritable, it is a very easy point to be used, maybe he has the opportunity to "instigate" again......
The two did not continue to explore, but stayed where they were to discuss their future plans, and remained vigilant at all times.
About seven or eight minutes later, I heard the cry for help from Rosario, the "Siren......
The fork in the road is winding and the echoes are endless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the source of the sound, but this is naturally not difficult for the "hunter" and the "assassin......
Joyce and the others did not immediately go to the reinforcements, and after waiting in place for three minutes, they quickly rushed to the place of battle.
However, they still seem to have arrived early......
In the middle of the battlefield, Roy the "Flame Lion" is nowhere to be seen, and only Rosario "Kraken" is wrestling with a half-human-tall spider.
It shouldn't be! Roy should be the most urgent one, why didn't he come in time...... Joyce and Hunter's minds had the same idea.
"Don't come and help me!"
Rosario shouted loudly, successfully diverting the attention of the black spider hunt and relieving his precarious state.
Eight long legs, sharp protrusions of burrs, it looks very sharp, I don't know if it is poisonous...... Although it is large, it is very agile, flying up and down between the bumpy stone walls, leaving slender holes...... Two pairs of eyes, one on the top of the head and one on the abdomen, stared at Joyce and the others, their eyes full of malice......
"It's coming!"
Hunter let out a low cry and joined the fray, while Joyce remembered his "identity" and pulled out his revolver not far away, trying to find an angle to shoot, while wondering why Roy hadn't shown up yet......
