"It's crows calling again." Feng Yulan raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky that should have been vast and boundless is now covered by dense branches and leaves, and he couldn't see any birds. Only the dull sound of birds could be heard , as if in a very close place, but also seems to be clearly far away.
"The regular thing refers to the crow calling, it's obvious." Shadow said.
"But what does this mean?" Feng Yulan was still puzzled. At this moment, he wished that his IQ could soar instantly, and a brain could be split apart and used as hundreds of smart computers. But thinking about it, I felt unrealistic, which made Feng Yulan very frustrated.
Shadow didn't seem to be able to come up with any answer, so he shook his head. He held Feng Yulan's hand, and led him to continue walking. The two of them avoided the poor confused soul wearing bracelets and shackles, and Feng Yulan instinctively couldn't understand the book he got. Stuffed the ancient Chinese pocket book into their arms, they had to set off to find more clues.
While walking on the road, I saw several corpses hanging on the trees, all of which were surrounded by layers of spider silk, forming a huge white cocoon, hanging on the branches and trunks one by one. It was spectacular.
Feng Yulan and Yingying both stopped at the same time, standing under those cocoons to watch, Yingying said: "I'm afraid this is also the so-called... regular thing?"
Feng Yulan and Yingying had to study those cocoons for a long time. The amazing thing is that sometimes, some of the cocoons would shake from time to time. This made A Lan realize that the possibility of being wrapped in cocoons is not Not all corpses.
"Can it still move... is it alive?" Alan was aroused by his curiosity. He walked under one of the hanging cocoons, found a big stone to step on, and then stood on the stone and reached out to touch the huge cocoon. The cocoon shook slightly under his touch, but quickly regained its composure, hanging there motionless.
Alan quickly retracted her hands, and felt sticky on her hands after she retracted them. When she looked down, she found some spider silk sticking to the palm of her hand, which was different from the spider silks that could be seen normally. It was almost a kind of thin rope, and it was very sticky to the touch. It took A Lan a long time to get it off, but the sticky secretion still remained on his fingers.
This back and forth took a lot of time, Alan paused, and heard a crow cry again.
Quacking is very boring.
"Once every fifteen minutes." Shadow suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Alan was a little surprised when he heard his words, and paused: "You mean the crow crows once every fifteen minutes?"
Shadow nodded and said, "It's about this time. I don't have a timer so I can't figure it out, but I noticed it just now. It should be about the same. From the very beginning when you woke up, the sound rang four times in total, almost an hour. .”
"That is to say..." Alan glanced at the shadow: "This secret room is restricted for three hours, and we have two hours left, right?"
"That's it."
A Lan opened her hands, and there was a large sticky patch on her hands: "The crow's voice indicates time, so what do these spider threads represent?"
"What does spider silk remind you of?"
"Spider? Web?"
"Then what does the net represent?"
"Bondage?"
The shadow smiled: "This is the edge of hell, the transitional place when going to hell, where the lost souls are bound, but they can't stay here forever, they are going to hell... But there is no way to go to such a dark place How do I get there without a sign?"
A Lan suddenly realized: "Is there someone who guides the way?"
"Maybe it's not a person." The shadow floated beside Alan, touched Alan's hand, the body temperature of the shadow was very cold, and Alan couldn't help shivering again, Alan shivered for a while, and said: "No If it's a human... Could it be that it's a big spider?"
There are only large cocoons bound by spiders around, and a lot of spider webs wrapped around the branches.
But the spider webs hang very high, and almost all the trees in the forest are huge trees, the trunks of which are too thick for several people to hug around, and it may be very difficult to climb up, A Lan Turning to look at the shadow, he asked, "What should I do?"
"Lead that spider over here."
"Attracting spiders? Does that mean I have to be the prey?"
"Spiders are very sensitive to their own silk, as long as the prey touches it, it will quickly notice it."
So Feng Yulan raised her head and looked at the spider webs hanging high above her head, feeling a little worried for a while, these spider webs are hanging very high, how can I get up there
"Actually, don't worry." The shadow easily saw what Alan was thinking, and said, "You touched the cocoon just now, and I'm afraid the spider will notice it too, and maybe it will come to pick you up later... But in Here, to be on the safe side, we have to make some preparations."
"Ready?" Ah Lan looked at the shadow suspiciously.
"I'll take you up." Shadow answered the wrong question, smiled thoughtfully, and raised his head to look at the spider web hanging high above his head. Then it floated up and down, and the closer Feng Yulan got to the spider web, the more she realized how huge the spider web was. When she approached it, it was like a huge web stretched out in the sky. When you get close, you can clearly see the sticky spider silk hanging on the branches and leaves. At a glance, almost every tree has spider silk.
After about the same position, the shadow made Alan stretch out his hand to grab a spider silk. The unimaginable stickiness and elasticity of the spider silk made it almost impossible for Alan to let go after grabbing it with one hand, and then the shadow let go A Lan, let A Lan hang firmly on the spider web.
"It's very likely that the spider will wrap you in that cocoon when it comes," said Shadow, "so whatever happens next, it's important how you get rid of the silk."
"For the spider silk, do you have to burn it with fire?" Feng Yulan shook his body, and he found it a bit difficult to hang it like this with only one hand holding the spider silk, but it would be very difficult to move if the whole body was hung on it.
"We don't have a fire, how can we burn it?" The shadow floated in front of Feng Yulan, and his fingers drew a few symbols in the air out of thin air, then shook his head regretfully: "It's too bad, in this strange secret room, we can't use Curse."
"But you can fly?" Alan expressed curiosity.
The shadow replied: "That is my natural trait. As long as you are still alive, I can live. As long as your spiritual power is still there, I can naturally fly."
"You are me?"
"That's right."
A Lan shook his head in confusion: "No, no, it should be said that you are my magic document."
"Stop! There is no need to discuss this issue any more." Shadow said: "We must find a way, even if you are entangled in a cocoon, we can still escape successfully."
"Can't you untie the spider thread for me?" Alan looked at the shadow expectantly, but the shadow shook his head regretfully and said, "No, the only thing I can touch is you, and I can't touch anything else. "
The shadow said so, and gave Alan a demonstration performance. His hands and body penetrated the spider silk all over the sky, penetrated the lush branches and leaves, and turned in front of Alan once, then turned again. He came back and continued to float in front of A Lan.
Ah Lan looked at the shadow for a long time, and suddenly had an idea and said: "It doesn't matter, even if I'm cocooned by spiders, as long as you can move, can't I? Since you can only touch me, then You just need to catch me and fly."
The two of them were talking halfway through the discussion, when suddenly there was a dense crawling sound in the forest, that densely packed sound that seemed to be made when many, many insects were crawling, a single one was very small, but the sound was very loud when gathered together.
Feng Yulan and Shadow looked at each other, and Shadow said: "I'll hide first." After he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared. Although the naked eye could not see where he went, Feng Yulan was very relieved because he It feels like the shadow is always by his side, and there is a strange fullness in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Yulan saw... small spiders overwhelming the sky!
Yes, on all the surrounding trees and on the ground, the spider silk is densely covered with all kinds of palm-sized spiders, huddled together one by one like a tide, they are so numerous that it is difficult to count, and the sound of crawling It can resound through Feng Yulan's eardrums.
A Lan is not afraid of insects and other creatures, and he doesn't have much feeling for spiders, but so many spiders gather together, it still makes one's scalp tingle with horror, which can make one's skin pimples drop all over the ground Illusion, this made Ah Lan couldn't help shivering again.
But fortunately, these densely packed little spiders did not approach Feng Yulan, but stopped at a distance away from him, and soon after, Ah Lan heard a relatively loud crawling and rustling sound , he saw a very huge, very huge spider appearing on a tree trunk in front of him!
Feng Yulan doesn't know how to describe it, it is basically a giant spider that has been magnified n times, and when it crawls on the tree, it can make the branches and trunks tremble. Si also felt that violent shaking, which made his whole body start to shake.
The giant spider approached Feng Yulan, so close that Feng Yulan could clearly see every hair on the spider's body. It had three pairs of spider feet. It had many eyes on its head. There were eight eyes, densely crowded together, and Feng Yulan couldn't help shivering again when she saw it.
The spider didn't seem to have any more interest in Feng Yulan. It climbed onto the giant spider web very lightly, pierced Alan's clothes with two spider feet, pulled him over and lifted him up high, then It began to spin silk, and white spider silk was continuously pulled out from somewhere in its abdomen.
The giant spider wrapped the spider silk around Alan's body one by one, and Alan hardly dared to move. He realized that the spider didn't bite him to poison him, but just wrapped the cocoon with the silk, and The winding speed was very fast. After a while, A Lan felt that his whole body could not move, and his sight was blocked by the spider silks one by one.
The feeling of being tightly wrapped, the spider silk has unparalleled elasticity, Alan tried to struggle a few times but felt very weak, as if his strength had been exhausted, and slowly began to have a strange feeling He was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open.
Although the spider silk blocked his sight, A Lan's sense of hearing was still intact. He felt that after the giant spider wrapped its cocoon, it seemed to hang A Lan on a certain tree just like the other big cocoons. Then Alan heard the sound of the spider swarm ebbing, and the sound gradually faded away, which meant that the big spider and its little spiders had left quickly.
"How do you feel?" After a while, Alan heard the voice of the shadow, and said to him like this.
"It's tight, and... I don't know why I feel almost powerless, very sleepy, and want to sleep." A Lan honestly expressed her feelings.
"Be patient a little bit, don't fall asleep... those spiders haven't gone far, I'll take you to follow them." After finishing speaking, the shadow reached out and grabbed A Lan, his hand could directly grasp the spider inside through the cocoon shell. A-lan, and carried him all the way and flew up staggeringly.
