"We are close to the spider lair." Phoenix said cautiously.
Isn't this nonsense? I rolled my eyes seriously. Even a fool would know what was going on after looking at the surrounding environment.
It is still a forest of towering ancient trees, but it is covered with patches of "frost and snow". If you look closely, you will see that these "frost and snow" are actually white spider nests, with slits between the dense leaves. On the branches, between two trees, or even more than a dozen trees are connected, covering the entire open space horizontally. These places are covered with countless spider webs. The small webs are only as big as a thumb, and there are many spider webs. There are ones as big as a palm and ones as big as a washbasin, and the largest one is the one we just saw, which is connected to more than a dozen trees and spans the entire open space. It is as big as half a football field. The spider silk is as thick as two fingers.
Such a giant spider web, let alone ordinary prey, even an elephant would definitely be unable to break free if it got stuck on it. We don’t know who its owner is or how big it is, because as soon as we saw it, Phoenix pulled us in a hurry Bypassed, according to it, the owner of the spider web should be the lord of this area. An unknown and powerful enemy like this also has a home field advantage. There are countless spiders under his command, so it is best not to provoke them unless necessary. .
We are in this kind of white world with nests and intertwined spider webs. If you look up, there may be a spider as big as a basin hanging above you, with disgusting saliva hanging from its fangs. The green compound eyes peer down at you, while under your feet, a burrowing spider suddenly jumps out at any time, biting you without mercy and trying to drag you into its lair. There are also countless large and small spiders, or in the Among the green leaves, or in tree holes, or hiding in the nest, staring at me through the white nest membrane, the cold and cruel eyes from all directions made me feel for the first time that my sixth sense is too sensitive. Not a good thing at first. I still had the patience to clean up the cobwebs and spiders around me, but I soon gave up. Unless the forest was burned down, no one could escape from this creepy white web world.
Okay, let's revisit that crap Phoenix said earlier, if you still don't understand where you are. Then please go to hell.
"Whoosh----"
The fire bombs that shot out of the air traced a fiery red trajectory, opening the passage blocked by countless spider webs in front of them. A few unlucky spiders standing on the cobwebs were rubbed by the fire bombs, and they let out strange "hissing" sounds. It fell to the ground, struggled a few times with its body scorching with smoke, then tightened its eight legs, curled up into a ball and died.
"Say, is the teleportation station of Spider Forest really in such a ghost place?"
I hugged my body tightly and looked at the spider world where I was. This is simply challenging the limit of my tolerance.
"Of course, who do you think I am, Phoenix? How could I go astray?"
"Then why isn't there a decent road around? If it's a teleportation station, shouldn't there be a lot of adventurers coming and going? How could this happen?"
Angrily, he kicked over a spider that was sneaking up on him. I couldn't help but question. Spider webs completely covered the entire forest in all directions. At first glance, I felt that this was a path that no one had traveled for at least several years.
"Because I deliberately chose this untraveled path." Phoenix seemed not to be aware of the imminent disaster. Said this proudly. It was as if he had done a great deed.
"So that's it. So that's it. Everything is a good thing you did..." I murmured. The whole body was shrouded in a layer of black air.
next moment. I've picked up Phoenix like a chicken. They were tied up tightly in twos and threes. Then looked around.
"You actually like spiders so much. Then throw you into a spider web. Let's have a close encounter."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Sanwu, who exuded a sense of non-existence, suddenly gently tugged at the corner of my clothes from behind, and then took a few steps forward. Pointing to a giant spider web in the blind corner of our sight, oh oh, it's really amazing, but then again, little Jasmine, how did you discover this? Have you already planned to throw Phoenix into the spider web?
"Oh, no, brother Wu Fan. I have something to say. I have something to say!!"
Phoenix's expression changed when he saw the spider web pointed by Moissa. Although the spider web is not as exaggerated as the half football field that I saw for the first time, half of the basketball court cannot escape. Hanging under the spider web, there is a "rockery" that is the same color as stone. Look carefully. , only to realize that the shape of this "rockery" was like a curled up spider, and his face immediately turned pale - a giant killer stone spider. As its name suggests, the spider is about the size of a small car, with stone-colored skin. He likes to torture his prey to death and is famous throughout the Dark Continent for his cruelty and bloodthirsty.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a close contact. As long as the adventurer's health points don't return to zero, there will be no problem, right?" I comforted Phoenix kindly.
"That's what matters. You devil master and servant, let me go, let me go." Upon hearing this, Phoenix struggled even more happily.
"Tell me honestly, what are your intentions this time?"
Of course I didn’t really want to throw Phoenix to the spider to grind his teeth. I frightened him for a while and put him down. Let’s have a three-room trial. Little Jasmine, come over with a guillotine and chop him up directly.
Ahem, whatever, let’s interrogate him first and let him know clearly.
"Well, because I discovered this road a long time ago, but I was alone and afraid of encountering any accidents, so I didn't dare to take risks. And spiders are disgusting, right? It would be better if we walked with more people." Phoenix He chuckled sheepishly.
"So you just dragged us into the water?"
Sure enough, the dog-headed guillotine was too cheap for him. He should have stripped naked, tied up his body, hung it above the entrance of Lu Gaoyin's market, and then prepared some thick and rough long sticks with sharp and bifurcated red tips below, so that he could Those who are interested use long sticks to poke their anus until they die.
"Wait, wait, I have something else to say!!" Seeing that the two of us were turning dark, Phoenix exclaimed in surprise.
"Aren't you curious why I kicked those spider ovaries open along the way? In fact, there is a certain chance that there are good things hidden in them. Spiders almost have a habit. Whenever they pick up something they like, it is troublesome to carry it with them. So It will be kept in its own nest. You see, my long stick was kicked out of the spider's nest."
As he said that, he took out his long white stick as if to show off. I've seen its properties, and it just adds 3 heaters. It just adds 1 broken ice armor, which is not the best.
In fact, the heating skill is very important to a mage. The equipment with 2 heating points is already the best for a mage. It's just that someone who is not a mage is also the best, so he doesn't realize this at all.
"What good things can be hidden in that kind of ghost place? Can you tell me what good things you picked up along the way?"
I understood a little bit about what happened to Phoenix, so I kicked the spider ovary. At first, I thought he had a grudge against the spider. So that's what happened, but he kicked hundreds of people along the way, and I didn't see anything. Either a puddle of disgusting green sap or a few fists of tiny earth spiders scattering in panic from their ruptured ovaries.
"This is just a matter of probability. If it's really that easy to kick, we don't have to kill monsters. We can just focus on kicking spider ovaries." Phoenix said with a haha,
"Probability? I think it's just wishful thinking."
I snorted coldly, glanced around, and happened to see a spider ovary not far away, so I couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Kick him over.
"jingle----"
In everyone's stunned eyes, more than a dozen gold coins made a crisp collision sound and were raised high.
"Hmph, just a dozen little golden spiders."
After reacting, I stepped on the gold coins into the mud at lightning speed and said viciously.
"That's nonsense. You're obviously telling lies. It's more than ten gold coins. You just want to throw me to feed the spiders, right?" A series of complaints came out of the furious Phoenix's mouth.
The eyes are quite bright. Faced with Phoenix's complaints, I said, "It doesn't count this time. Next time I must find an excuse for you to make out with a spider." I continued to scan, and luckily I found another spider ovary not far away.
I won't be wrong this time. God, please give me a few fist-sized spiders so that I can catch Phoenix and feed them to the spiders. Pray like this. I kicked it down again.
"There was a sound of metal friction, and a cracked emerald. A bottle of rejuvenation potion and a blue chainmail fell to the ground in the stunned eyes of Phoenix and I.
The atmosphere was frozen for a long time...
"So that's it, that's what happened. I have been an unpleasant child since I was a child. I love to peek at my neighbor's sister taking a shower, and I love to lift girls' skirts..." Phoenix stood up from the ground with a gloomy look on his face, mouthing I kept thinking about it.
I said, it’s strange that someone likes such a kid.
"Even Lady Luck hates me so much. I finally understand that I am not accepted by this world and am being rejected..."
In an instant, his thoughts went to extremes. He is such a troubled guy.
I originally thought that Phoenix would be depressed for at least a whole day after being hit so hard. Unexpectedly, before nightfall, this guy would come back to life again, eating crocodile meat and showing his signature cheerful smile. No, not so much cheerful, I I think it would be more appropriate to describe it as a single cell. The next day, he continued his treasure hunting journey and said that only challenges are fun. People like me who are favored by the goddess of luck will not understand that unexpectedly getting a The fun of gold coins.
Well, there is indeed no need to understand, and it’s not like a beggar said...
After dancing with spiders for two full days, we finally found that the overwhelming spider webs around us began to decrease. At least we no longer had to clear the road by ourselves. There are three possibilities for this situation. One is that we are about to leave. The second is that there are often adventurers coming and going around. As for the third possibility...
We're approaching some Big B's territory.
However, even with the protagonist's halo, we will not always have such "adventures" one after another. Phoenix told us that this is because the teleportation station in the Spider Forest is about to arrive.
Soon, we found the path leading to the teleportation station, and met a group of adventurers on the way, about an hour later. We came to the ruins of a small town that seemed to have been destroyed by some giant monster. In a remote corner of the ruins, I finally found the first teleportation station in Kurast, the Spider Forest Teleportation Station.
Two black-robed mages in charge of the teleportation station greeted him cordially. They seemed to know Phoenix. After registering, everyone started chatting.
"By the way. Kanker, why are you building the teleportation station in a place like this?" I have always wondered why it is so bad that it should be built in such a ghostly place where spiders are everywhere. No one who is timid dares to come. .
"Haha, sir, you don't know something."
The black-robed mage named Kanke threw a piece of dry wood into the red bonfire, and the boiling water in the iron pot boiled on it.
"Actually, the forest is so dangerous. It doesn't matter where the teleportation station is built, but compared with other places. Don't you think there is something special about this place?"
"You mean... there are only spiders here?" After thinking about it, I can't think of anything else that is more special here.
"Yes, there are only spiders here. Although this place is a bit scarier than other places where monsters hang out, there is only one kind of monster, spiders, and their living habits have already been understood. Isn't it easier to deal with them? ?”
"So that's it, but I'm still curious. There are only spiders here. Then they must not have enough food. How can they survive like this? Are they preying on the same kind?"
"This is also one of the methods. The activity level of spiders is not uniform, so even if they are huge, their demand for food is not large. Every month, they will flock out of their own areas and go outside. If they hunt in the forest, if there is still not enough food, they will start to prey on their own kind..."
Such a useless conversation. It lasted until late at night, but even if there was no nutrition, even if it was humming and hahaha a few times, it was something that the dark people were happy to do to pass the time, because there was really too little entertainment here.
Early the next morning...
"I said, brother, you really don't need my company anymore."
Phoenix looked at us eagerly from the side, feeling that he was really addicted as a tour guide, but I think he was more thinking about where to take us to adventure. no. This dangerous person must be driven away as soon as possible.
"Well, go to hell." I nodded coldly.
ah. He cried.
"Ah, by the way, wait..."
Just when Phoenix was about to enter the teleportation point and go back with his head downcast like a defeated rooster, I stopped him.
"This, this, and these things, you can take them."
I handed him a blue eagle's magic bead, a pair of golden heavy boots, and ten bottles of recovery potion. The blue eagle's magic bead was the one that this guy graciously gave me. Its attribute is plus 2 lightning. , plus 1 fireball, +2 ice storm, +strength. It should be easier to use in battle than his white stick. As for the golden heavy boots, it is used to kill the elite thornwood demon when you first encounter it. The dropped land has good attributes. After all, it was produced by Wu Fan.
These two pieces of equipment were both mined during adventures with Phoenix. Although I was the only one who worked hard, it makes sense to ration them in the name of my teammates. However, for Phoenix, the most precious ones are probably those that restore vitality. Potions, among adventurers, rejuvenation potions are now in short supply and are more cost-effective than gold equipment. One bottle of vitality potion may not be able to exchange for a piece of gold equipment, but you have to take out three bottles to ensure that there are many people who want to exchange.
To be honest, this thing is enough to drink as plain water for me. With a microwave, three bottles of mana potions + three bottles of life potions + a broken gem, I can make it easily, if Akara doesn't allow it. I sold them in batches (for fear of adventurers relying on them), and I have long since become the richest man in the dark world. Now I have so many rejuvenation potions that I can defeat the full rejuvenation potion (synthetic conditions: three bottles of rejuvenation potion; synthesis time : greater than 7 hours; synthesis probability: less than 5).
"Hey, why are you crying again." Seeing Phoenix looking at the equipment and potions I handed over and wiping away tears, I suddenly felt dumbfounded.
"Brother Wu Fan, I have always misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to be a good person."
Hey hey, what does "unexpectedly" mean? Return the staff to me, return the boots to me, and return the crocodile meat that I have eaten these days. Spit it all out for me too.
In the end, Phoenix accepted the Eagle Staff and the Golden Heavy Boots. As for the ten bottles of rejuvenation potion, he only took two bottles. According to his words: Who am I, Phoenix? Do I need to rely on these things? These two bottles of rejuvenation potion count as tour guide fees. I just reluctantly accepted it.
Watching Phoenix swaggeringly disappearing into the teleportation station, I sighed. The relationship between adventurers is actually a college question. Everyone is so proud that they have to weigh everything they give. If not, If you pay too much attention, you will be mistaken for looking down on or pitying the other person. Even a person like Phoenix who has a carefree personality and acts unscrupulously (Phoenix who appeared at the Kurast teleportation station: Yawn!! Who is thinking? Me?), and I don’t want to take advantage of it.
So it’s better to have a woman of your own. You can give to whomever you want, no matter how much you give, and you will not obey the family law.
I turned around. He hugged Princess Sanwu and kissed her hard on Xue Nui's face under her incomprehensible gaze. Then he spread out the tent and summoned the girls to prepare for work.
If you want to do anything wrong, just stand in the corner.
Inside the tent, three people (?), one fish and one dog, sat together with solemn expressions. In the middle, the slightly swaying fire of the stove shone on our solemn faces. It makes the atmosphere even heavier.
"First of all, before the discussion, I want to explain one thing." Stern eyes swept over the faces of everyone (dogs? fish?), and saw each one like a soldier who had experienced countless wars. With a determined face, I nodded with satisfaction.
"The first thing I want to explain is..."
Finally, I set my sights on our golden-haired Pekingese Commander. Affected by the atmosphere, his posture seemed to straighten slightly, as if he was waiting for instructions.
"Dogs are not allowed in meetings." The next moment. I indifferently picked up the dead dog's ears and threw it to the corner.
"Ga----oh----ga----oh-
The furious dead dog pounced and bit him.
"Wow Xiaofan, it's true that I finally got some atmosphere. I originally wanted to continue acting."
Due to the fight between me and the dead dog, the solemn atmosphere in the tent suddenly disappeared without a trace. The little ghost held his beautiful chin in boredom, sighed, and rolled his beautiful silver eyes.
"Even if you can understand people, you can't speak. And what good advice can a dog give?"
I pulled the dead dog's two rabbit ears and said, "Look." Even if I am facing a reserve of food, even if I am just a stupid dog, I will always be reasonable and present facts. Please refer to me for what it means to be a saint.
"Ga oh ga oh----"
While biting my thigh tightly and spitting out vague sounds from its furry mouth, the dead dog pointed at the little mermaid who rarely woke up.
"What do you mean, why can the little mermaid participate again?"
I don’t know why, but I can always easily understand the barking of a dead dog that is clearly not even dog language. Could it be that it was cursed by some vicious spell? I shuddered hard.
"That's because..." The little ghost on the side looked at us playing with a smile, fearing that the world would not be in chaos and got together.
"That's because Leona, your status is lower than that of Elijah. oh."
Hey, hey, you are provoking it, you little one is definitely provoking it.
Sure enough, after hearing what the little ghost said, the dead dog immediately loosened its teeth that were holding me tightly, and moved its eyes to the kind little mermaid who was watching our fight curiously.
Hoho, how can we, the majestic dragon clan, lose to you, the mermaid clan? Don’t think that having a golden tail is a big deal. Let me tell you, this princess is actually a golden dragon, and her whole body is golden. She is better than you. The golden color of half a bucket of water is much more noble. It’s time. Let’s differentiate between the high and low today and see who is the boss(?) in the team.
Feeling Leona's hostile gaze, the little mermaid immediately became vigilant. She touched behind her secretly, and a golden three-pronged fork appeared in her hand. She held it diagonally in front of her chest with a look of preparation.
"Gaoh----gaoh----"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey"
