"I'll do it." Moses took the initiative to invite Ryan to take on the responsibility of opening the way. Ryan hesitated for a while and finally agreed. After all, Moses has the best martial arts skills in the entire team and is also the most suitable. However, in order to ensure that Moses To be safe, we decided to give him some auxiliary magic at any time to maximize his ability to adapt.
Since the combat effectiveness of his soldiers could not meet Ryan's requirements, Ryan left most of them on the ground, taking only Barbara, Pastor Rocheld, the scout named Roger, and 4 As a personal guard of the Iron Fist Castle, the team on the ground was naturally handed over to Commander Adela.
Moses held a torch and walked at the front of the team. Several different colors faintly appeared on his body. They were the auxiliary magic that Ryan blessed him with, which were the ones that were blessed in the battle of Crimson Castle. They were walking in second place. But it was Roger, the scout, because he learned from Nancy not only the skills of investigation, but also some things about the direction of traps, which he could use here.
Next is Ryan taking Barbara, while Pastor Rocheld and the four Iron Fist Castle guards are at the end. Now Ryan will take Barbara wherever he goes, even though she is the weakest, and even It will be a disservice, but as a mage, experience is very important, and the strength can be gradually improved, and this kind of adventure is not something you want to have, not to mention once a person experiences those adventures and sees the fierce battle, it will naturally stimulate her Working hard to improve her own strength will definitely bring only benefits and no harm to Barbara.
The entire cave was twisting and turning, gradually going deep underground. Ryan stepped on the slippery ground and felt that his feet were soft and very uncomfortable. Under the light of the torch, the surrounding walls were covered with traces of scratches. Ryan I guessed that this was probably caused by those poisonous spiders. There was a faint fishy smell coming from the depths of the cave, but Ryan had long been accustomed to such a smell. On the contrary, Pastor Rocheld covered his head tightly all the way. nose,
This passage was not particularly long, but it only took a few minutes to reach the end. Moses was the first to step out of the passage, and soon he sent out a safe signal, and the people waiting behind him came one after another. Everyone walked out. At the end of the passage was a huge space, filled with spider silk everywhere, and there were many things wrapped in spider silk in the corners. Some spider silk balls were even slowly squirming. It's scary to watch,
"This is probably where those spiders live." Moses used the torch in his hand to burn away the dense spider silk around him, clearing a large space, while Barbara looked at everything around her with curious eyes. This was the first time she saw this scene.
"It looks like there won't be any traps, but just to be on the safe side, let's check." Ryan said to Roger, and the young scout immediately raised his torch and stood side by side with Moses. When Moses used the torch to clear out After finding a space, Roger would squat on the ground with difficulty and slowly identify whether there were any abnormal arrangements around him.
The cleaning work went very smoothly, and soon the central part of the entire huge space was cleared. Roger did not find any traps at all. However, the ground was not soil, but thick stone slabs, and there were cracks in these stone slabs. There are many, obviously this is not something that group of spiders can do,
While Moses and Roger were busy, Ryan stood in the center of the space and looked around. Suddenly he felt that this place looked like a palace, so he said to Moses: "Have you noticed, this place does look like a palace."
"Yes." Moses stood up straight and let himself take a break. At the same time, he answered Ryan: "Maybe it's the legendary Temple of Apocalypse in the Keidrama Empire. It is said that it is guarded by templar warriors. But I guess this is at best a side hall."
"Oh, by the way, I heard that those damn spiders have the habit of wrapping endless food in their webs. I wonder if those things in the corner will find anything." Pastor Rocheld spoke. , but his hand still covered his nose, so his voice sounded a bit weird. Barbara found it interesting and laughed on the spot.
Ryan patted Barbara's head gently and whispered to her: "What's so funny? There are so many races on the continent, and everyone speaks in a different voice. You must learn to be tolerant."
"Well, I understand." Barbara nodded heavily, and then said to Pastor Rocheld: "I'm sorry, Mr. Pastor, I shouldn't laugh at you, I apologize to you."
How could Rocheld argue with a little girl? He waved his hand magnanimously and said, "It's okay, but it really stinks here. I've only smelled this smell once in the sewer."
"Then, do you want me to get rid of those spider silks?" Maybe there might be something good hidden inside. "Moses spoke again: "To be honest, the few spiders on the ground are not of much use at all. They are all male spiders, and the silk they spin is not of much use, but the venom they collect is pretty good. Get Nancy some more poison. "
Ryan once again looked at the entire space. He was absolutely sure that this place had been a palace before, but it had been abandoned for many years. Later, it was somehow occupied by these spiders and became their nest. Spiders are different from dragons. , they don’t seem to have the habit of collecting those rare treasures in their nests, so Ryan sighed with some disappointment,
"Be careful, there is something terrible hidden in this spider palace." Ryan said to Moses: "However, if we can confirm that it is safe, we might as well call some more people from above to clean it up. , maybe something can be gained.”
"Okay." Moses nodded. He took a spear from the hands of the Iron Fist Castle guard, tied the torch to the head of the spear, then held the end of the spear with both hands, and handed the torch to the wrapped people. Some kind of spider web. Although spider webs are full of stickiness, flames are their nemesis. Under the burning of the torch, the first spider silk bundle gradually opened, revealing the contents inside.
After Pastor Rocheld took a look at what fell out, he vomited it out on the spot, because he saw half of a human body. From the degree of blur of flesh and blood on the corpse, it could be seen that he had probably been disappointed recently. Yes, maybe they are the companions of the two poisoned mercenaries.
"Damn it, damn it." Pastor Rocheld said vaguely as he vomited: "If what follows is considered such a thing, I'll get rid of you and don't open it again."
Moses made an apologetic gesture toward Ryan, but he did not stop holding his hand. Soon, all the spider silk wrapping the human corpse was burned, and the human remains fell to the ground. Moses held his hand Without any pause, he handed the torch on the tip of the gun to another spider silk ball that was still slowly squirming. Roger, the scout standing next to him, pulled out his dagger nervously and watched with concentration. The torch slowly burned the spider silk,
Soon, this mass of things revealed its true identity, but it was a living little lizard. Its limbs seemed to have been broken. Although it kept struggling, it could only lie on the ground, unable to move. The little thing seemed to be in no danger, and Moses' expression immediately relaxed, but Ryan suddenly asked, and the fishy smell in the air became stronger.
"Everyone, be careful, there is..." Before Ryan could finish his words, he heard a scream from the Iron Fist Castle guard behind him. Ryan turned around suddenly and saw the guard on the ground falling to the ground in pain, his His whole body was covered with a layer of dark green juice. Any skin contaminated with this juice immediately began to rot. Even though the stainless steel armor on his body was magically blessed by Ryan, it still could not resist the corrosion of this dark green juice. It was smooth and smooth. Numerous shallow pits have appeared on the surface, and these shallow pits continue to expand due to corrosion.
Just next to the guard who was attacked, the ground began to shake. Soon, a big hole opened in the cracked stone floor, and a huge spider came out of the ground. After seeing clearly this After seeing the appearance of a spider, Moses couldn't help but gasped and blurted out: "Black Widow."
"Black Widow, that's not the Spider Queen with a Human Face." Ryan had read the description of the Black Widow from the book that Blair gave him. He carefully looked at the giant spider in front of him, which was as tall as three adult men. Sure enough, it was here. A woman's face was clearly visible on the spider's face, and this is where the nickname "The Spider Queen" comes from.
The first thing the Human-Faced Spider Queen did when she emerged from the ground was to tear the Iron Fist Castle guard who was moaning loudly beside her into two pieces, and then eat one of the pieces in one bite, Priest Rocheld Even though he knew it was a matter of life and death, he still couldn't bear the bloody scene in front of him. He squatted on the ground and vomited again.
Moses' face was full of seriousness. He knew that he had encountered a terrible enemy today. This kind of human-faced spider queen nicknamed "Black Widow" is one of the giant spiders. Their bodies are all highly venomous. As long as any part of the body touches The body will rot immediately. Unless the poisoned limb is cut off immediately, the whole body will quickly rot until death.
This alone is not enough to explain how scary the black widow is. This giant spider is also very good at close combat. They move quickly and can spit out sticky spider silk at any time to tie up the enemy. This is simply a nightmare for the enemy. Sea Breeze City Mercenary Guild There is a bounty mission, but it’s a pity that it has been there for several years and no one cares about it. This shows the strength of Black Widow.
