Chapter 76 Man-Eating Spider Swarm

"Search this room thoroughly."

Following Master Wenlai's order, everyone took action.

"Master, I always feel unsteady. You know this feeling, like a specimen on a test bench, that deep sense of powerlessness. The danger here is likely to be beyond the control..."

Wen Lai stroked his beard without commenting on Lei Luo's words.

"The fortress received intelligence three days ago. The Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom noticed that a priest here died suddenly. In addition, there was no news about a group of mercenaries who were on duty nearby, so the military sent me here. Investigate it, and the reward for this investigation mission is very high."

At the end of his speech, the old scholar's voice became inaudible.

Sudden.

The horses tied at the entrance of the village suddenly neighed in terror, and everyone who was looking for clues exclaimed in shock: "Horses!"

He hurriedly ran out of the room and bypassed several dilapidated houses. When everyone ran to the entrance of the village, they only saw the broken reins on the stone pillars.

The soldier named Seth picked up the blood-stained reins with an ugly expression.

"It was bitten off by some large creature with sharp teeth."

Everyone looked horribly pale. Only Master Wenlai still maintained his concentration. Seven horses had just been tied up here, and they were gone in such a short time?

"There's blood here!"

Soldier Orshaman shouted.

Everyone hurriedly ran, and after walking along the blood trail for a while, they saw a tall cave with a height of one person on the red hard stone wall. It seemed that no one had been there for a long time. There were some spider webs left on it, and it was pitch black inside.

"Bring the torch."

After Ivan took the torch, he threw it into the cave, but he couldn't see the end at all.

Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at each other. It was obvious that the culprit was in the cave.

However, there is no doubt that it must be extremely dangerous inside. Should he admit that the investigation mission failed and go back in despair, or should he continue the investigation?

Boom boom boom…

At the same time, there was rolling thunder from the thick clouds in the sky, and rain fell in a drizzle. Everyone went into the cave to take shelter from the rain to prevent the torches from getting wet.

Looking at the increasingly heavy rain, everyone's expressions were extremely ugly. The winter rain in Furnace Fortress was mixed with some ice slag. It was really a nightmare to drive in such icy rain. Looking back at the steep cliffs on the road when we arrived, Walking in the dark night in the heavy rain of ice and debris, it would be nice if only half of the people could return to the fortress.

However, turning around, the endless deep cave seemed to swallow everyone up, which was also a frightening choice.

Master Wenlai took a deep breath.

"Let's go, we have no way out. It's impossible to go back in this weather."

As a battlefield-experienced magician consultant in the Crucible Fortress, Wenlai has experienced far more dangers than the scholars in the academy. When faced with danger, he clearly knows what the most desperate situation is, that is, like a He ran away like a deer that had lost its mind, leaving its back to the enemy.

On the contrary, in the past two desperate and dangerous situations, he only ushered in a glimmer of hope by taking the initiative!

Master Wenlai actually raised his wand high, and the lighting at the top of the wand instantly overshadowed all the torches, and he took the initiative to walk at the front of the team. Several soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, and finally gritted their teeth and followed closely behind Master Wenlai.

The generous rewards of this mission are too hard to part with!

The cave was rugged, and after walking a few dozen meters, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

"There seems to be traces of artificial excavation?"

Lei Luo stared at the stone wall of the cave and murmured in a low voice, but received no response from others.

Knowing that they cannot be separated, Master Brunei, who held up the lighting technique, frowned and said: "Go to the left."

This time, everyone walked for a while. Not only did they not reach the end, the passage became wider and wider. As the stone path suddenly turned around, an amazing underground space appeared. It was very dry and was as large as the student square.

With this as the center, tunnels spread in all directions.

Everyone seemed to be in a huge underground maze!

"Yes! This place is definitely not naturally formed!"

Odrieu finally responded to Lei Luo's words. The light of the torch shone brightly and dimly in the underground space, trembling and murmuring what everyone was thinking.

"Look!"

Still the archer discovered something.

Everyone walked away, but they found themselves in a smaller underground cave. There were countless human skeletons wrapped in dense white silk mesh. There were also countless livestock skeletons scattered on the ground.

"No, no, no..."

Such a doomsday and horrific scene immediately made a soldier keep retreating, on the verge of mental collapse.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Breathing continuously, Lei Luo took a deep breath, came to the silk screen, fiddled with it gently, and then slowly turned his head with an ugly expression.

"It's a spider web."

As if to answer Lei Luo's words, dense "rustling" sounds came from the passages in all directions in the underground space.

"ah……"

The soldier finally could no longer bear the psychological pressure and ran away screaming towards the passage from which he came.

"Come back! Damn it!"

Ivan shouted loudly.

At this time, even Lei Luo and Wen Lai, the two so-called magician consultants, could no longer maintain their composure. Wen Lai hurriedly said: "You go collect a corpse to prove it, and I'll collect the specimens for the mission investigation!"

Waving his wand, Wen Lai suddenly spotted a flying monster with bull-headed bat wings above his head, with a faint black smoke lingering around his body. Wen Lai jumped onto the back of the summoned creature and flew towards a cave that made a rustling sound.

Without saying a word, Lei Luo ran into the stone cave covered with cobwebs. The flame ring flashed and a fireball flew out. After burning up the nearby silk net, he was about to put a skeleton into the space box. A large number of patterned spiders the size of silver coins crawled out, making Lei Luo shake his arms in fear.

call out!

As the fireball technique burned away a large amount of spider webs, deep in the cave of bones, a black shadow jumped on top of a soldier at an alarming speed. It turned out to be a terrifying black-haired spider the size of a basin.

The black-haired spider had a twisted grimace, its claws spread wide, revealing a pair of eyes without any emotion.

Covered with dense barbs, the Grimace Spider opened its sharp fangs and bit out two holes in the soldier's metal helmet. Fortunately, the soldier's metal armor was incredibly strong and could not be bitten through. Light black venom dripped along the helmet.

"Ah! What the hell! Ah..."

Soldier Dressedin struggled to shake off the horrible thing on his head.

Seeing this, Captain Ivan swung his sword at high speed. The ferocious spider was instantly cut in half, splashing out a large amount of green pus. The black-haired spider that was cut in half struggled painfully on the ground for two times before falling. Completely motionless.

"call……"

Ivan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the soldier who was splashed by the black-haired spider's pus, screaming in pain.

This green pus was surprisingly corrosive. Not only did it corrode the metal armor, but the soldier's face was corroded into a bloody mess in a short time. The severe pain caused the soldier to scratch his face continuously, but it was even bloody. The meat was caught together, and the scene was bloody and cruel.

"Bubble Technique!"

The bubbles ejected at high speed knocked away a black-haired spider that pounced on Ivan for a sneak attack.

However, this man-eating spider as big as a basin had amazing defense. It didn't even stagger when it landed on the ground, and actually ran towards Lei Luo.

As the second strong pressure bubble technique ejected, the man-eating spider that Lei Luo had given a harmless hint to before was blown into pieces with a "pop". Lei Luo hurriedly took out some water and poured it on the soldier's face. face, hoping to make him feel better.

"The investigation mission specimens have been collected, get out of here quickly!"

Master Wenlai, who was riding a strange horned bat-winged summon, flew out of a cave. It was this naturalist whose voice sounded a little frightened at this moment.

"Give up, this is the dissolving digestive juice in the spider's body. They will melt the body tissue of the prey into liquid, and then suck it up. The reason why it caused such serious injuries to him is because the dissolving digestive juice of these mutated man-eating spiders is too Stronger."

The breath of the soldier in his arms became weaker and weaker. Listening to Lei Luo's explanation, Ivan nodded painfully.

Lei Luo and a few soldiers were about to return along the way they came, but they saw an astonishing number of man-eating spiders pouring out of the cave.

Among these man-eating spiders, there was an adult man-eating spider as tall as a person, and there were countless man-eating spiders the size of a washbasin.

The soldier who had just fled in panic was now tied into a ball by a large amount of spider silk, and his face was covered with dense and strange pustules. It seemed that due to the anesthesia effect of the venom, he was still conscious but unable to struggle.

hiss!

The adult giant spider spit out a piece of silk. The white silk was light and fluttering. After flying thirty meters away, it became quite slow.

In a panic, Ivan dodged the spider silk, but the soldiers behind him screamed in terror.

The spider silk seemed to be extremely corrosive to metal armor, easily melting through and severing the soldier's armor, and a large stream of blood flowed from his arm.

"Go this way!"

Master Wenlai didn't dare to stop for a step, so he changed to another cave and flew in.

Lei Luo and others gritted their teeth and ignored the screaming soldier who was tangled in spider silk. After running for tens of meters, they turned around. The countless spiders had completely drowned the soldier, and the screams were heard in the black. The spiders gradually disappeared from the crowd.

"Seth..."

Ivan gritted his teeth.

Everyone followed Master Wenlai and just broke into another passage, and finally knew what the master was afraid of. In the passage where he had just escaped from collecting mission specimens, three adult man-eating spiders as tall as one person suddenly appeared. Red and white fluff, each with countless barbs, was chasing towards the cave at an alarming speed.

"ah!"

There was another desperate scream behind him, but Lei Luo didn't dare to look back and ran as fast as he could.

At this moment, Master Wenlai also exploded with astonishing combat power. He released several powerful skills at the front, killing the oncoming man-eating spiders in a large area, and the cave was filled with a burning smell. .
