In the vast, dense forest that blocks out the sky and the sun, and is filled with all kinds of green and green light, spiders... The former valley and now the basin are like an earthy yellow patch, as if the earth is getting sick.
The ground is full of large and small potholes, and underground lakes can be seen through some particularly large potholes.
With the elves' superior eyesight in the dark, they can easily spot that there are various fist-sized spiders crawling in the potholes, densely packed and in groups, making the scalp shiver and the heart tremble.
"Just looking at it, I don't want to get close..." Many soldiers from the Hexi Camp were whispering to each other.
The soldiers in the Imperial Guard Battalion are more disciplined and do not speak. However, some clues can be found from their no longer neat steps and their increasingly disordered breathing——
Elves are indeed afraid of spiders! They tried their best to hide their actions, but their psychology was very obvious.
Not to mention the soldiers, even Harandis and Jardel were frightened. In fact, Atasha and the other three people in the rear regretted following so close to the team!
"It's just a record of merits and demerits. With my eyesight, coupled with my spiritual sense, they can see clearly even if they walk to the middle of the basin. Why not wait a little longer..."
The three of them had similar thoughts, and they all agreed:
You can completely wait for the God's Attendant Army to fill in these "big pits, small pits and a series of pits" before coming in!
However, after coming, it was not appropriate to withdraw, so Atasha and the other three could only move forward.
"Underneath these potholes, there should be a large network of underground tunnels..." Als came back with very bad news.
"The worst guess is that the spiders have built a 'house' below the surface that is larger than this basin, with a large number of 'sub-rooms' attached."
"If we want to completely eliminate these spiders, we must... go down into the pit..."
"Can't you lure them out?"
To be loyal to the God Lord and the New God, Harandis has no shirking duty, but she is not afraid of fighting head-on, bleeding and sacrifice, but when she rushes into the big pit, there are endless and various weapons, the largest is comparable to a wooden house, and the smallest is as big as the palm of your hand. Spider combat…
She is willing, but she can't bear it!
"You can draw some out, but you know, these spiders are not animals, but intelligent creatures. They have classes and rights. Except for their disgusting appearance, they are no different from other races on the earth."
Als forced the corners of his mouth and tried to smile to liven up the atmosphere, but failed. "If it weren't for the fact that the underground environment was so bad, I almost thought they had kings and nobles..."
"If you look at the underground environment from the perspective of elves, you will naturally be dissatisfied, but if you look at it from the perspective of spiders, they may just think that only the big underground pits are the most like a palace!"
Jardel, who was in the invisible state, was teasing him - although he was not as hostile to spiders as the elves were like the elves, he couldn't stand spiders like this!
Even if you don’t have trypophobia, you still have to be induced to have trypophobia!
"My Majesty, the enemy has entered the ambush circle. Should we take action?" After several great lords looked at each other, it was Lance Matt who spoke on behalf of them.
"According to your judgment, the three core figures of this force are also within the 'territory' of the Spider Kingdom."
"If the spider kingdom you mentioned really exists..." After asking about the plan, Lance Matt added with a hint of ridicule.
"Whether the Spider Kingdom really exists, there will be a good opportunity soon. You can go and see for yourself. As for why I can detect it..."
The relationship between Selandil and Lancemat has long since reached the point where they are irreconcilable, and one cannot exist without the other.
Therefore, there is no need to be elegant and easy-going. A word of disparagement can be regarded as civilized. If you are not on the battlefield and at the negotiation table, you will just spray directly.
"It relies on the resonance between demigods. The strongest among the spiders, I am afraid that his strength is not inferior to mine!"
A demigod must be able to establish a kingdom, or a tribe, or at worst a community. In short, he must have huge power.
Judging from the number of spiders in the basin, there are no less than 300,000 of them!
Moreover, this is only on the surface. How many spiders can be accommodated in that extremely huge and complex space composed of underground tunnels and large hollows...
Selandil couldn't figure it out. The only thing he could comfort himself with was that in the basin, whether on the surface or underground, all resources were limited and he couldn't support too many spiders.
Then, thanks to the two-way agreement between Goddess Shiva and the elves and spiders——
One party cannot destroy the valley by force, and the other party cannot leave the valley. This ensures that the Spider Clan, which is now terrifying in number and all people are soldiers, will not expand to the outside world.
While Selandil was worried and thinking about the current situation of the spider clan, Harandis strengthened her resolve and began to march towards the nearby potholes.
"Divide into five-person teams, each explore the nearby potholes. If you encounter a tunnel... decide whether to advance or retreat by yourself." Harandis's words made Als and Jardel sigh -
There is no problem with the command, and the combat method is selected that is most suitable for the here and now, but the scattered style of play is easy to be defeated individually!
I can’t get any credit this time. If it’s good, it will offset the merits and demerits. If it’s almost... I’m afraid I’ll be recorded by the three gods...
"It's now!"
Through the eagle eye spell, he saw that the enemy troops were divided into groups and began to "enter the pit" gradually. Selandil believed that the time had come and ordered the wizards of the elves to launch a large-scale joint magic.
Rumble——
In the basin, there were roaring sounds from the other end, like the earth was setting off waves.
"It's the earthquake technique..." Harandis, Als, and Jadel looked at each other helplessly.
They had expected that the other party would use this mixed type of multi-person magic, and of course they had thought of a solution, "Do you have enough magic spells for everyone?"
"Before sending out troops, we all went to replenish a batch. It will definitely be no problem to deal with one or two earthquake spells, but..." Jardel is most annoyed by enemies who use tactics like this. Isn't it good to have a head-on confrontation? He no longer has to worry about which tactics to choose.
As the power of the seismic technique reached its peak, large areas of land inside the basin sunk and collapsed, and countless pits were connected into a whole, as if the basin had been dug several layers deeper.
Thousands of spiders were crushed to death and injured. However, the God's Attendants who turned on the Immortal Talisman in time were not injured. However, the team as a unit could not sustain it, and everyone was in a state where they fell down.
Suddenly, an obscure spiritual energy wave swept across the entire venue. It was very rough and gave people the feeling of "it was not used skillfully, but it just burst out in an instant".
"It's a demigod!" The lords led by Selandil and Lancemart, Harandis, Als and Jardel all had this idea at the same time.
