Chapter 181: Spiders

Gehr felt a palpitation for no apparent reason, so he pulled Carmelita into the center of the convoy, waiting behind the Holy Spirit Sect.

The silence didn't last long before it was broken by an abrupt rustling sound.

Those who were able to pass through the passage to come here were all the elites of the Holy Spirit Sect, among which nearly twenty Guardian Warriors who had changed their armaments went directly to the front of the line, and the remaining disciples also took out their bows, arrows, crossbows, and even a few muskets aimed at the front, waiting for the comer to appear.

"Attack ready!" Belif ordered in a deep voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the bushes in front of them began to vibrate violently, and the shattered branches and dirt flew outward, crackling against the armor of the cathar warrior.

Then, a huge monster appeared in everyone's eyes.

It was a monster so ugly that it seemed to concentrate all the hatreds in the world, its round body was easily supported by the eight knuckle claws, the brilliant camouflage on the body reflected a strange and brilliant light in the sunlight, the eight insect eyes with a strange red light swept the prey in front of it that seemed a little short compared to it, with a defiant attitude, made a predatory gesture, and the pale yellow viscous liquid that kept dripping from the huge mouthparts full of sharp teeth emitted a foul smell, which was really disgusting.

This is a spider that has been magnified countless times, and its height is just over two meters by sight.

"It's the giant Darktooth Spider, attack!"

Hiss......

At the same time as Belif gave the order to attack, the large, apparently hungry creature also chose its target, and the eight arthropods only bent slightly to send its massive body into the air in a very unnatural posture. It's as light as a bird, but this inexplicable beauty of the movement exudes a breathtaking death aura.

Whoosh!

The next moment. The big creature crashed into a rain of arrows created by humans using the crystallization of their craft.

Its defenses were clearly not as intimidating as its appearance, and its concealment and deterrent effects did not hinder the horrific weapons of killing at all. After a few muffled sounds, the arrows that hit its body went straight into its body, bringing out yellow-green bodily fluids.

With a strange hiss, the giant darktooth spider fell from the sky like a bird with broken wings, and after spilling bodily fluids all over the ground, only a slight tremor remained, and the breath of life was far away from it.

Compared with its stunning appearance, its exit is surprising enough.

Killed this terrible-looking guy in such a simple way. This kind of 180-degree reversal of thought and reality inevitably shocked the armed personnel of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"Don't let your guard down, giant darktooth spiders live in groups. ”

Only Belif did not stop, he took the bow and crossbow from the hand of a disciple who was in a daze beside him, and directly fired the wound crossbow bolt, and loudly reminded the disciples.

Tear ......

Beliff's bolt was met with a strange roar, and after a shudder in the bushes, another giant darktooth spider jumped out, and the tail of the bolt could be seen from the upper part of its left forelimb, and as it moved, streams of bodily fluids flowed down its wounds. The blood-red worm eyes stared at the wounded Bellive.

Then, everyone saw the dense red worm eyes that appeared in the shadows behind the new big guy, and the next moment, dozens of giant darktooth spiders jumped out almost at the same time. Rushed towards the positions of the Holy Spirit Cult fighters.

"Fight!"

With Beliff's roar, the battle officially broke out.

......

While the Cult of the Holy Spirit was fighting with the hunters who were eager to enjoy their meals, Gehr and Camerita stood idly in the safety of the Cultists' back and looked around.

Originally, this opportunity was a very suitable opportunity to escape. However, considering that this strange place also has such strange spiders, the two who don't know anything about this place feel that it is not a good idea to run away with chains.

Besides, Belif and Goodard did not join the fight. Just stand in the middle of the crowd and command. Their gaze swept over the two of them from time to time, and it was clear that they were also wary of Ger and Camerita's actions.

"Have you ever seen a spider this big?" said Gehr, looking at the battle. Asked softly.

"The largest spider recorded in the book is probably the Catalo spider of the province of Southern Virginia of the Church of the Queen-Fee, but the spider is only about a meter tall at most, and they are all solitary. Carmerita replied.

"Looks like we've come to an amazing place. Gehr sighed.

"The size of the creatures has always been related to their living habits, the larger the size of the energy consumed, these spiders grow so big, obviously the prey they hunt must not be simple, otherwise they will not be able to support this kind of extra-large spider group. ”

Nevzell's treatise can indeed solve many biological problems. Carmelita nodded, agreeing with Gehr's statement.

By the time the two exchanged opinions, the fierce and short battle was over.

After leaving behind more than twenty corpses, the giant darktooth spiders retreated into the dense forest.

Gehr deduced from the battle that the approximate strength of these spiders was about the same as that of an ordinary elite soldier, far less terrifying than its size, and a single heavily armed soldier would be able to deal with a giant darkfang spider as long as he maneuvered steadily.

However, these monsters are not without advantages, their natural combined hunting tactics make them particularly effective when hunting in groups, and in the face of the array of Holy Spirit Cult fighters, although they suffered heavy casualties, they also managed to drag two people from the array and return to the dense forest.

Hearing the long and miserable howls of their companions, most of the people did not look very good, but entering the dense forest to fight these monsters who had returned to their lair, this irrational thought was directly extinguished as soon as it appeared.

"Let's go, we'll get out of here at once. Belif gave the order in a deep voice.

Everyone immediately began to act, and after a few minutes of tidying up the scene, the carriage immediately moved under the impetus of the groom, and everyone vigilantly stared at the dense forest that might jump out of the predator at any time, and left the place cautiously.

The convoy drove north, until it was far away from the dense forest, then turned around and began to move in a northeasterly direction.

Along the way, there are lush forests all around.

Tall, strangely shaped trunks, curved roots that jutt out from the ground, and dense groves that can be seen everywhere.

At the foot of each of the large trees are clusters of green grass, and occasionally you can see a few wildflowers of various colors.

In the woodland where they were, the distance between the trees was very open, at least five meters apart, as if they had been measured, so that although the canopy was thick, it could not completely shade the sky, and those who walked during it could see the blue sky and the bright sun when they looked up, and they did not worry that there was not enough light to illuminate the road.

After that round of attacks by the giant darktooth spiders, the convoy was not attacked all the way behind, and some birds and beasts began to appear, making everyone realize that they should have left the territory of those terrible predators, and the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the convoy finally became a little lighter.

As "important people", Gehr and Camerita were granted the right to use a carriage, but in such a strange place, they did not dare to put all their hopes of safety on Belif and them, so they only sat quietly in the carriage and closed their eyes to keep their physical condition in the best possible condition.

The sky was getting darker, and the carriage was getting darker and darker.

I don't know how long it was, but Gehr opened his eyes.

It was already dark outside, and the carriage had stopped. From outside the car, the sound of the believers walking and shouting was constantly heard, as if they were arranging to set up camp.

Gehr opened the door and walked down.

The meadows and forests outside had become very dark, and piles of bonfires had been raised under the manipulation of the cultists, some of the cultists had brought some forage from the back of the wagons to feed the livestock, while the cathars began to wipe down their weapons, giving them good protection from the sharp animal fat, and also checking the armor for damage. Soon there was the sound of hammers clattering on the crotch, a simple repair of armor using blacksmith tools.

At the end of the fire, soldiers could be seen patrolling the perimeter.

"You're awake, sit down. Seeing Gehr's figure, Bellive, who was sitting by the campfire with a book in his hand, greeted.

Gehr walked over and sat down.

"Today it's beef potato soup with white bread, I hope you don't mind. Belif clapped his hands, and the congregant, who was cooking his food, immediately brought over a bowl of hot broth, and handed over a piece of white bread that was somewhat stiff.

"It's hearty enough to be able to eat here. Gell took the food, then took a twig and put it around the fire to roast until it was soft, "If this continues, it won't last long." ”

After all, Gehr had commanded the army and had a certain understanding of the logistics of this era, so he relied on the supplies carried by these wagons, which according to his estimation would take more than ten days at most.

"It's enough. Belif said lightly.

When the bread was hot, Gehr did not speak again, but took the bread and ate it with broth, and soon settled all these things.

In the meantime, Carmelita also stepped out of the carriage, sat down beside Gehr, took the food, and ate it slowly in small bites.

"Do you want to know why I brought you here?"

After the two of them had finished eating, Bellive, who was quietly reading a book, suddenly spoke.

At that moment, both Gel's and Camerita's eyes were focused on the old gentleman. (To be continued......)
