In the crevices of the rocks, you can still see some dark purple moss, these moss even grow some white fluff on the surface, the whole pine forest is basically free of any wild grass, the cold south wind blows from the mountain pass, only the tall and straight red pine stands on the Sankou pass.

Walking into the pine forest, I found that many pine trees have their roots deeply rooted in the cracks in the stones.

Roy walked into the woodland with the party and found that there were still some ruined stone walls made of stones, although many of them only had foundations, but there were obviously some buildings on the ruins.

Elves don't like to live in stone houses, and the foundations suggest that the houses should be large.

The ruins were in a clearing in the pine forest, in the middle of Pass Three, and Roy looked down the foundations of the stone walls, which were stacked all the way to the mountains on either side, and looked more like a city wall, with a military stronghold built behind the walls.

Now only part of the outline of the cornerstone remains.

Looking out over the peaks on either side, you can see some griffons hovering over the summit, which is where the griffons' nest is.

"When I was down the mountain, I didn't think the pass was so far from the peak......" Roy whispered to Sabrina.

Wizard Marjery and Instructor Nora had already taken the lead on the southern slope of the pass, looking out over the side of the griffon barrier mountain, and they had not said a word, their eyes full of shock.

The members of the group walked over one after another, all standing on the rocky slopes, looking through the sparse pine forest towards the southern part of the Barrier Mountains.

There is still a large expanse of jungle in front of you, looking down from a high place, those jungles look like a green meadow, a few meandering rivers divide this jungle into several pieces, and in the distance there is actually a blue sea.

As far as the eye could see, they could only see the edge of the sea, and the farther away were hidden in a faint mist.

"The Partington Plane is so big, it turns out that the place we occupy is just a small corner of this plane." Instructor Eleanor said with deep feeling.

"It's a pity that the barrier mountain range is in front of us, and it is not easy to climb over this mountain, if you want to make a detour, you must first open a passage on the side of the Blackwater Swamp." Instructor Nora clearly has a very detailed study of the vicinity of the Barrier Mountains.

Roy turned to look north, and the barrier village at the foot of the mountain was completely nowhere to be found.

However, he knew clearly that the location of the mountain col, the territory of the glazed beasts, the territory of the dire wolf, and the elven villages were almost all part of the jungle, and there was nothing to be found except for a piece of verdant green.

The city of Paddestow was nowhere to be seen, he had already climbed above the clouds, and the white clouds in the distance seemed to be trampled under his feet.

In the whirring wind, there was a sudden sound of rustling, and then the crisp sound of some pine branches breaking was heard, and everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from, and the strong south wind swept away the broken branches, and a giant spider larger than a griffin crawled towards the adventure group.

It has eight legs several meters long, which are thicker than an adult's thighs and covered with fine white hairs.

The giant spider has a circle of hideous compound eyes on its head, and two huge black fangs are a meter long, dragging its big round buttocks, and it is fast through the pine forest.

It seemed very excited, probably hungry for too long, and rushed straight at the sight of its prey.

"It's the Black Spider, how can there be such a thing here, ready to fight, Scarlett ......" Instructor Nora shouted.

Scarlett Mage immediately responded, "This guy is not afraid of ice magic at all!" ”

Instructor Nora hurriedly said, "Block it with an ice wall, Gru, and shoot it in the eye while it doesn't rush over......"

Before Instructor Nora could finish his words, an ice wall fell on the woodland twenty meters away, followed by another wall of ice with a loud noise.

Scarlett Mage didn't even cast a spell, he tore open the two magic scrolls, released two ice spells, and then set up an ice path full of ice ballast behind the ice wall, but Roy felt that this ice path should be of little use to the big guy in front of him.

By this time, Instructor Gru had jumped onto a pine tree, stepped on the horizontal branches of the pine tree, leaned his back on the trunk, and pulled out the battle bow in his hand.

A white light wrapped in the power of the wind elemental swept in front of him, and another piercing arrow shot out.

At this moment, the giant spider just hit the ice wall, and with the ice mist everywhere, the giant spider rushed forward without stopping, and the friction of its limbs was extremely harsh.

The arrow in the white light struck a fist-sized compound eye, and the arrow disappeared into its massive body.

This was only one of its twenty compound eyes, and although the arrow burrowed into the giant spider's body, it did not affect it, but made it faster, and it didn't even dodge the big tree in front of it, and slammed straight towards the side of the adventure group.

Instructor Nora, Instructor Eleanor, and Instructor Virgil formed an iron triangle to face the giant spider, and the three of them did not dare to be careless, and showed their 'potential' one after another.

Miss Christine followed the example of Instructor Gru and shot a wind arrow at the giant spider, which was precisely inserted into the other compound eye of the giant spider, but the compound eye burst into a puddle of liquid, and the arrow was inserted into the eye socket.

The giant spider was a little angry, it suddenly stopped in place, its eight legs raised its body high, and its huge belly peeked out from under its body, exposing the spinneret behind the spindle, and spewing countless white spider silk towards everyone.

Some of the silk was stuck to the pines, some to the rocks, and many more were for Instructor Nora and them.

There was no need for Instructor Nora to remind them, the long swords in the hands of Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Virgil actually emitted a dark red light, and even Scarlett Mage released a fireball that exploded at those spider silks.

The spider silk encounters flames and is quickly burned off.

Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Virgil's swords also seemed to have flames attached to them, and some of the spider silk stuck to them, and they melted away instantly.

The giant spider took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in front of Instructor Nora, a fluffy white leg more than five meters long was inserted into her body, Instructor Nora did not resist at all, and decisively rolled on the ground, avoiding the attack of the giant spider, and quickly approached the giant spider and slashed at the joint of one of its legs.

With a ding, the sword didn't cut off one of the giant spider's legs, only a spike at the joint.

Instructor Nora twisted his body and nimbly dodged the next few attacks of the giant spider.

Instructor Virgil on the other side performed almost the same battle plan as Instructor Nora, as a swordsman, Instructor Virgil managed to slash the joints of the giant spider's legs, and the hard exoskeleton was wrapped in crystal tender flesh.

The giant spider was a little painful, and dozens of compound eyes looked at Instructor Virgil at the same time, which immediately made Instructor Virgil feel dizzy.

An ice arrow exploded in front of the spider's eyes, filling the air with countless ice mist, and Instructor Virgil immediately came to his senses and jumped away sensitively...... A outrigger was thrust into the encirclement where Instructor Virgil was standing, and the rock on the ground suddenly tore apart.

Instructor Eleanor took the opportunity to circle the tail of the giant spider, which was its weakest point, out of sight, and dragged on its huge belly.

It's a pity that the leather on the abdomen is soft and tough, and Eleanor Instructor's long sword can't pierce it at all, and the giant spider senses that there is a threat from behind, and quickly turns around and pounces on Eleanor Instructor.

Taking advantage of the moment when it raised its body, Instructor Gru shot an arrow again, this time Instructor Gru did not use a piercing arrow, and the arrow accurately grazed the two eyeballs of the giant spider.

Miss Christine's second arrow missed, just in time to hit the giant spider's white-haired back.

Sabrina and Roy were both staring nervously at the battlefield, and instead of joining the fight, they were next to Instructor Gru and Miss Christine, respectively.

The giant spider realized at this time that something was not good, although it was only slightly injured, but at this time the giant spider had already begun to retreat.

Instructor Eleanor retreated towards a pine tree, and in the process of retreating, her body faded little by little, and finally completely hidden, and the giant spider not only pounced on the air, but also completely lost its purpose.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Virgil slashed in from both sides again, slashing at the joints of the outriggers.

This time, Instructor Nora also cut a wound in the leg joint of the giant spider, and the giant spider immediately retracted the injured leg.

The Virgil instructor on the other side was seen by the eyes of the giant spider, and the giant spider raised its legs and stabbed at the Virgil instructor, forcing the Virgil instructor to retreat.

Seeing Instructor Eleanor's body disappear, the giant spider immediately stretched out its legs and climbed towards the pine tree.

The sparse pine forest is just enough for the giant spider to climb everywhere, and its climbing method is also unique, because of its huge body, they use two legs into the trunk of one pine tree, and the other two legs into the trunk of another pine tree, and at the same time as the body rises rapidly, the tail spinneret once again gushes out countless spider silk fluttering in the wind, these spider silk is light, tough and sticky.

Although Miss Scarlett unleashes the fireball spell again, the range of the fireball is very limited.

There's no way, it's already rare for an ice mage to be able to throw a fireball......

Instructor Virgil ran out of the silk-covered area, but Instructor Nora ran under a tree and nimbly climbed up the tree to chase the giant spider.

Instructor Eleanor's body appeared next to a pine tree, but she was unlucky, with a little spider silk stuck to her shoulder, and she was actually stuck to the pine tree.
