"What are they doing?"
On a ridge, Box was hugging his knees and huddled in a bush. He looked through the gap between the stand-up collars and looked at the members of the Dragon Fire Guild below the valley, forming a circle at the entrance of a cave covered with white silk. semicircle.
He turned back with some confusion and asked Alyssa beside him.
But Alyssa shook her head. She didn't know much about these big spiders, so she only looked at the square plover on the side.
Next to Fang Plover, there is a huge monster with eight pitch-black eyes, baring teeth and claws, still retaining the ferocious form in life. Its body is more than three meters long and at least two meters high. It has gray-black manes all over its body, but only eight furry ones. His long legs were hanging limply on the ground, and a huge hole opened in his bulging abdomen, exuding waves of stench.
It has apparently been dead for quite some time.
If everyone looks back, there are many such huge corpses on the road behind the mountain. They fell to the ground in a mess, some of them were charred and black, curled up in a ball, and still maintained the struggling posture in life, as if they died under the flames.
However, the wounds on the abdomen of each giant spider are not fatal.
Because everyone has unanimously recommended the owner of the title of 'First Class Material Collector' - Parker went to check, and the position inside the abdomen was empty, and the glands that produce silk had been removed first.
That was obviously just the wound left by removing the material after the giant spider died.
Jita also looked down quietly, and then whispered: "That is the entrance to a cunning spider's nest, and they plan to lure the spider guards inside out."
As for the next words, there is no need to speak anymore, because the people of the Dragon Fire Union have already proved this with actions.
People lit turpentine torches at the back, and then passed them to the melee professionals in front in turn. The first iron guard ran a few steps towards the entrance of the cunning spider's lair with a torch, and then threw the torch in his hand towards the entrance.
Not long after, bursts of white smoke came out of the hole.
"Are they crazy?"
"Light a fire in this forest. This forest is full of flammable cobwebs and dead trees. Are they not worried that they can't get out?"
"Now the spiders are going to riot."
Luo Hao couldn't help but whispered.
Everyone agreed with this view.
Parker was wiping his hands hard on a handkerchief, then looked at the colorful handkerchief with disgust and threw it aside.
"Stay away from me," Alyssa looked at this guy very seriously, "How could you even think of picking it out with your hands? I'm telling you, Parker, you can't come within three meters of me before you go back and clean yourself."
The Papalar man had no choice but to walk aside quietly, muttering and complaining about how troublesome women are.
At this time, there were bursts of shrill screams from the valley below.
That was the voice of the spider swarm——
Densely dense giant spiders soon appeared in the forest. They not only rushed out from the entrance, but also emerged from the cracks in the red mountain wall on one side. They were in groups, like a giant spider. Black tide.
A sea of spider swarms flowed through the forest, and the people of the Dragon Fire Guild were a little commotion. It was probably because the number of spider swarms exceeded their expectations.
Not only the people from the Dragon Fire Guild, but also the people from the Seven Seas Brigade watching this scene on the ridge couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Although they were somewhat mentally prepared for the number of spider swarms, when this scene actually appeared before their eyes, the impact was completely different from what they had imagined.
They are not the first to bear the brunt. You can imagine how much psychological pressure the front row of the Dragon Fire Guild below has endured.
"Are these people fools?" Luo Hao complained again.
Fang Yu didn't think so in his heart.
Decisively, everyone in the Dragon Fire Guild calmed down again after a brief commotion——
Fang Plover watched quietly as the iron guards and knights in the front row raised their large shields to block the tide of spiders. Among the front row of the Dragon Fire Guild, Iron Guards accounted for the majority, and the row in front looked like a gray line from a distance.
It seemed weak, but when the spider swarm like a black tide collided with this line, the huge giant spider guard was seen crashing into the shield array, and the rows of giant shields retreated one after another. However, the iron behind the shield The guards just took a step back and immediately stabilized themselves.
Viewed from the ridge, it seems as if the line curved inward slightly and then rebounded tenaciously.
The priests and monks in gray robes in the back row stepped forward, chanted incantations, and cast gray rays of light on the heads of the giant spiders. As soon as these lights shrouded the giant spider's head, the monsters with claws and fangs weakened almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the offensive also stagnated.
Fang Plover saw something interesting. Among the gods of Orin, only Anjina, who is in charge of knowledge, history, mystery and self-improvement, Triril, the god of dreams, and Elaine, the blind goddess who reveals destiny, are good at priests and monks. Conjuration spells.
But the followers of Angina he knew best, and their attire was anything but that.
Trielle is Amaya's subordinate god, and natural-type artifacts do not accept followers of the Chosen One. As for the blind goddess Elaine, the only priests are women, and currently none of the monks from the Dragon Fire Guild can match her.
So in addition to the gods of Orin, the only ones who have so many curse spells are those evil entities hidden in the darkness, whose names are not even known to ordinary people, such as evil gods and demons, and the saints of darkness.
In Aitaria, only cultists believe in these 'false gods'.
It seems that the Dragon Fire Guild has completely surrendered to the side of the cultists, or rather, with so many evil priests, they themselves have become cultists.
Fang Yu felt a little unbelievable, because Dragon Fire Guild was different from Listening to the Rain. The high-level members of Listening to the Rain were missing, but Dragon Fire Guild seemed to have embraced the Dragon Worship Cult from top to bottom.
It can be said that the top management of Listening to the Rain acted like this because they were blinded by profit. But for the ordinary members of the Dragon Fire Guild, what was their reason for making this choice? Don't they know that they will eventually face legal sanctions?
After the Dragon Fire Guild blocked the attack of the spider swarm head-on, they immediately divided into two teams of rangers and nightingales, and ignited more fire points from the left and right wings of the Panir Cunning Spider.
At this time, Fang Plover finally understood how those cunning spiders died before - no matter how terrifying the giant spiders were, they were just wild beasts after all. Driven by the flames, they also fell into panic - they panicked and screamed They rushed left and right, and some died in the sea of fire, while others could not break through the Dragon Fire Guild's defense line and were slaughtered by the shooters, magicians, and elementalists in the back row.
Only a few giant spiders fled back to the depths of the forest in panic.
However, the Dragon Fire Guild also suffered heavy casualties. After a battle, only a few men were left in the front row, and everyone else was injured. And a spider guard broke into the formation of mages and archers at the last moment, causing the largest casualties in the Dragon Fire Guild's back row since the war began.
After the battle, Fang Yu saw the people of the Dragon Fire Guild carrying the corpses of the deceased one by one, turning them into dots of black light, rising into the sky, and gradually disappearing into nothingness.
The process was almost exactly the same as the deaths of dragon cultists he had seen.
However, what the other party did was not a mysterious ritual, but just a way for the other party to recycle the equipment conveniently after the corpse disappeared.
After a battle, although the people of the Dragon Fire Guild were in pieces, the remaining people did not panic. They arranged for the elementalists and magicians to put out the fire first to prevent the mountain fire from spreading.
Although the fire below spread quickly, the members of the Dragon Fire Guild acted in a very orderly manner. The elements cast a few spells and completely extinguished it in a short time.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yu and Sylvide couldn't help but exchange a look, and both saw that it was obviously not the first time for the following members of the Dragon Fire Guild to do such a thing. Or rather, they are very skilled at it.
After the fire was extinguished, the members of the Dragon Fire Guild began to collectively dispose of the giant spider's body. The process was similar to what Fang Plover had expected - just cutting open the abdomen and taking out the glands.
As for the other parts of the giant spider, including the chitinous carapace, they were ignored and thrown aside.
Not long after, another large force appeared below the valley, and the other party was also from the Dragon Fire Guild. They gathered together with the previous 'big sister' team and formed a larger team again.
Fang Yu took a closer look, and judging from the number, it should not be the batch that was resurrected before.
This shows that the opponent's manpower in this canyon seems to be far more than what they see in front of them.
Fang Plover almost immediately realized that the purpose of the Dragon Fire Guild's visit to this place might be the same as that of their adventure group - to collect the silk of the Panir Cunning Spider.
The only use of Panir spider silk is to make sails for aerial ships. So what do the people of the Dragon Fire Guild do with collecting so much spider silk for making aerial ships and sailing ships?
Are they going to build a ship?
And for such a large-scale operation, it is obvious that this is not the first time that the other party has done such a thing. Why did the Dragon Fire Guild build so many ships?
In addition, the construction of so many ships obviously cannot be carried out in a small place. However, there are actually only so many anchorages and excellent ports suitable for shipbuilding in Kaolin-Ithurian. This is not the second world after all, and any place you find is an unknown place that has not been explored and developed by previous generations.
Fang Yu felt vaguely that he smelled a conspiracy - where was the Dragon Fire Guild hiding from the truth?
And could the other party's shipbuilding move be related to that so-called big plan?
Only the Papalar people looked at the huge scene of the two groups of the Dragon Fire Guild disposing of the corpse of the giant spider in the valley below, and suddenly said with infinite melancholy: "Oh my God, there are so many materials, it would be great if they were ours, we There’s no need to stay in this nasty place anymore.”
He does not mean that.
When Fang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Luo Hao, who had just joined the team, was obviously very interested in this. His eyes lit up after hearing this, and he tentatively asked the others: "A man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass. I like this proposal. If you want Why don’t we give it a try?”
But Alyssa rolled her eyes at the two of them: "Still fat, Luo Hao, you are already fat enough. Also, are you crazy?"
She pointed downwards and lowered her voice: "Count how many people there are on the other side. They are more than ten times as many as us? And Luo Hao, can you handle an adult cunning spider?"
Luo Hao thought for a moment and shook his head.
He was only at level nine, and the level he had accumulated through experience potions would take a long time to solidify his actual combat effectiveness. Facing an adult cunning spider, three of them were not enough for him.
Alyssa then said: "So the other party's average level is higher than ours, so I say you should be less careful."
But just as she was silencing the two of them, she heard Fang Plover say something faintly:
"It's not like there's no chance."
"Mr. Ed, even you..." Alyssa suddenly felt that the team was finished, and even Ed was infected by these unreliable guys. Of course, I don’t know how she came to the conclusion that Fang Yu was very reliable.
Fang Yu shook his head: "I didn't mean to go up so recklessly. You have also seen that although the other party has many people, they cannot protect themselves safely in such an environment. They continue to replenish their manpower. , to make up for the losses in the battle, but what if we miss?"
"We are hiding and the enemy is hiding, so there is always a chance." He looked at the others and said with some confidence, "Even if there is no chance, the worst thing we can do is not take action, and we won't lose anything."
Alyssa was still a little worried: "That's what I said."
Fang Yu was about to say something else, but then his communication crystal suddenly lit up. When he lowered his head, he saw that Luo Yu's communication emblem was displayed on it.
It seems that there is another news from Big Cat Man and Baggins.
He signaled everyone to be calm, then turned on the communicator and asked, "How are you doing over there?"
Rhett's voice came from the communication channel: "Ed, we have encountered some minor situations here."
"Oh?" Fang Yu felt something in his heart.
Sure enough, the big cat man continued: "After we arrived at the intended destination, we found that there were other people hiding in the valley here. They seemed to have plans for the settlement of the hill giants."
"Those are the people from the Dragon Fire Guild." Fang Yu was almost certain of this: "We also encountered them here. I guess they may have ulterior motives."
"People from the Dragon Fire Guild?"
A few people over there looked a little surprised. The big cat man asked again: "Ed, what should we do now? If we are from the Dragon Fire Guild, they will definitely not let us lure away the hill giant."
"Wait a minute," Fang Yu thought for a moment, and an idea gradually formed in his mind: "I guess they will take action sooner or later if they stay there. When the time comes, you will follow them, and we have to see what they want to do first."
"Ed, what do you mean?"
In Fang Plover's view, the Dragon Fire Guild's plans should be different from their adventure group's plans on this point.
Their plan was to lure the hill giants into fighting with the Panir spiders, and then hide on one side to reap the benefits. But from the previous battle, the people of the Dragon Fire Guild knew that it was not impossible to directly destroy a small or even medium-sized spider swarm head-on.
Judging from the results of the opponent's battle, their method of attracting giants to fight the cunning spiders seemed redundant and inefficient.
But the other party has ambushed men in the valley over there, so they will definitely not be in a daze like in the past.
Reconnecting it with the conversation he overheard between the 'eldest sister' of the Dragon Fire Guild and the magician, a bold idea emerged from his mind - he had previously thought that 'it' was a dragon. Witch.
But now it seems that some predictions were wrong. The 'it' in the other party's mouth should refer to the mother of the Panir spider.
Even the Spider Queen.
Fang Yu took a deep breath and felt that the other party seemed to be playing a little too hard.
However, he is not worried at all about the Dragon Fire Guild playing too big a game, and even vaguely hopes that the other party will play bigger and better. Only the stronger the other party's fire is, the more likely it is that they will get burned. As for those opportunities that didn't exist before, didn't they appear naturally?
Fang Yu extinguished the communication crystal and took a look at everyone: "The people from the Dragon Fire Guild should have plans. I think we can follow them and take a look first."
Everyone listened to the entire conversation between him and the big cat man, and naturally there was no objection.
And Luo Hao was even more excited: "I'm starting to like your team a little bit, much better than that guy Yu Wenyu."
"Of course," Fang Yu suddenly swelled after hearing this: "Our adventure group will be one of the best adventure groups in Aitaria in the future, and you will gradually discover this in the future."
The Papalar people just rolled their eyes when they heard this.
However, before everyone left, they also wanted to report that the three ladies staying on the platform were safe. And told them that their plans had changed and that they might stay in the canyon for a longer time, so that they didn't have to worry about this for the time being.
Only when Fang Yu opened the communication crystal, a series of terrifying screams came from the other end of the communication channel, which startled him and he quickly asked Tian Lan what happened.
But from Tianlan's communicator, Ai Xiaoxiao's voice came: "A spider has come in, cousin."
"Ah?" Fang Plover asked quickly: "Is it an adult or a juvenile?"
"No," Ai Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's just an ordinary big spider."
"Ordinary spider?" Fang Yu was speechless for a moment: "Where's Tangtang? Ask her to come over. I have something to tell you."
Ai Xiaoxiao glanced back and replied, "Tangtang and Tianlan are being chased all over the house by it. I'm afraid I don't have time to reply to you, cousin."
Fang Yu couldn't say a word for a long time as he listened to the roaring sound coming from behind.
Finally, he sighed, briefly explained the situation to Ai, and asked her to help explain it after the other side was free. Although judging from the level of terror in the background sounds, I am afraid that his cousin and Tian Lan will not be able to calm down for a while.
Fang Plover then turned around and saw everyone snickering.
"Why are you laughing?" Fang Plover said angrily, "Aren't you afraid of spiders?"
"I'm not afraid."
Box answered honestly.
"you shut up."
…
