After everyone had a sufficient rest, their condition almost returned to full capacity. Rogge put out the campfire and called on everyone to move on.
Rogge's team maintained their formation, marched a certain distance, and came to a fork in the road. This is about more than half of the total depth of the cave.
Rogge observed the terrain and judged that the passage they were in merged into another large passage, so he asked the team to continue moving deeper.
After traveling some distance, Lunt suddenly stopped.
Rogge checked the situation and found a corpse in front of him that had been eaten beyond recognition. But Rogge still recognized him from his clothes. He was the young man from the Dawn Adventure Group who came to poach him.
Not far from the corpse, there were the corpses of 6 large rats. Each of these mice is nearly 1 meter long, with well-developed hind legs, degenerated eyes, and long and hard teeth.
"This is a running rat. This adventurer was bitten to death by a running rat. There is still blood in front, so the rest of his team should have moved forward." Rogge analyzed.
"We remain vigilant and continue to move forward. Lunt, if the situation is not right, you can pour oil on it and light it on fire. Running rats are afraid of fire and are not difficult to deal with."
Rogge's team continued to move forward, and soon arrived at another cave.
This cave is also relatively spacious, and the ground is covered in blood. The two human corpses were in pieces, with internal organs and minced meat everywhere. It was extremely miserable. There were also the corpses of more than 10 running rats, dead in different ways. It looks like the Dawn Light Adventure Group has experienced a bloody battle here.
"Be careful, you may encounter a demon rat if you go further," Rogge said.
There was only one passage ahead, and everyone continued to move forward in silence. After turning a corner, several running rats appeared in front of them, eating a female adventurer.
A few running rats posed little threat to Rogge's team and were quickly killed. Ofina stepped forward to save the adventurer woman, but it was too late. She stared with an expression of fear and despair, and she was dead.
After traveling some distance further, Lunt suddenly made a gesture, and everyone stopped and leaned down knowingly. Two unextinguished torches on the ground illuminated the situation ahead. They were a large number of running rats, almost occupying the entire passage. There were two much larger rats in the middle, which should be running demon rats.
The rats stopped moving forward for unknown reasons, which gave Rogge and the others an excellent opportunity to attack. Roger took out an oil can and handed it to Lunt, making a throwing gesture to him.
Lunt understood, stretched his body and threw the oil can hard.
Rogge bent his bow and nocked an arrow. When the oil tank flew over the heads of the rats, he loosened the string and shot the oil tank. The oil splashed onto the running rats and the torches on the ground, and the fire instantly ignited and spread. A large number of running rats were on fire, squeaking and running around. Lunt threw another oil can, aggravating the fire.
The running rats that were not burned all rushed towards Rogge and the others. Madeline released the paralysis technique, and strands of electric light weaved into a grid and spread forward. A large number of running rats hit the power grid and stopped twitching. The paralysis effect was extremely effective.
Then it was time for Ofina to reap the rewards. Ofina summoned 6 swords of light, controlled the lightsaber to pierce and chop, killing swarms of running rats with high efficiency.
Rogge shot arrows to kill the rats that slipped through the net. After a while, all the running rats that came in were killed.
The fire in front gradually weakened, and two demonic rats staggered over with black smoke. To be cautious, Rogge and Sonia still threw the net to trap the magic rat. Rogge followed up by shooting a few arrows, and Lunt also threw out his spear.
The flames caused very serious damage to the running demon rats. The two demon rats showed no resistance and were easily killed.
This group of running rats that killed four members of the Dawn Light Adventure Group were wiped out by Rogge's team. It seems simple, but in fact it's because Rogge's team prepared a rat-killing weapon like a fire oil can, and Madeleine and Ofina have the ability to control groups and kill groups quickly.
The Dawn Light Adventure Group was attacked by rats, and then fought against the rats in a relatively open place like a cave, which was very disadvantageous. In addition, there was no group damage method in their team, and the two intermediate warriors were both swordsmen and could only protect themselves but could not protect more teammates. This led to deaths and the team's defeat.
The fire was completely extinguished, and the smell of burning was filling the passage. Rogge and others put on fine cloth masks again and first collected the magic cores of two running magic rats.
The two magic cores, like the demon lizard magic core, are also gray-white overall. This is because these two magic beasts have no attributes. There is also a small area in the center of the magic core that is scarlet.
The other parts of the demon rat were of average value, so they were all discarded.
The burning smell was unbearable, and everyone hurriedly ran to the cave in front.
Lunt entered the cave with his front legs, and just as he was about to take off his mask to take a breath, a sudden change occurred. A sickle-shaped object swept over extremely quickly with a dense cold light, and the air was cut by it at high speed, making a "swish" sound.
Lunt also reacted very quickly and raised his shield to resist. The sickle-shaped object scraped against the stainless steel shield, making a harsh scraping sound. The strong Lunt was actually knocked back several steps by this blow.
Rogge saw the attacker clearly, first threw a flare into the cave, and then shouted: "It's the Sirius Demon Spider! It's so big, it may be a strong body level, everyone, be careful!" After he said that, he started to sprint. Shu ran into the cave. The connection between the passages was relatively narrow, making it difficult for him to perform.
The Sirius Demon Spider's attacks are continuous. Although the force is not as strong as the Cave Demon Lizard's tail flick, the frequency is much higher. Because spiders have 8 legs, now this demon spider is attacking Lunt with 6 intact legs, and its movements are very flexible.
Yes, the spider has broken two legs.
Judging from the corpse split into two pieces on the ground at the entrance of the comprehensive cave, and the two human-shaped cocoons hanging upside down on the spider webs in the distance, it seemed that the Dawn Light Adventure Group had been wiped out. The two legs of the demon spider should have been cut off by the two intermediate warriors in the two humanoid cocoons when they resisted.
The injured spider had a bad temper and kept its eyes on Lunt, continuing to attack. While circling it, Lunt moved inward along the cave wall, intending to open up the connection between the passages so that Madeleine and Ofina could have room to play.
The demon spider lost its mind, and although its attacks were violent, they were simple and direct. Lunt relied on his keen combat intuition, a rare mid-level stainless steel shield, and a heavy armor suit to be able to resist.
When a monster reaches the strong level, its size will become much larger. The size of this Demonic Wolf Spider has grown from over half a meter to over 3 meters now. It has legs as sharp as sickles, eight eyes that glow red, and a body covered with long spider hairs. The body and abdomen look very powerful.
Rogge took out several flame arrows and aimed at the demon spider's fur-covered body. The more hair you have, the less fire you have. This is a truth that applies basically everywhere.
The flaming arrow shot out, hitting the spider's body right in the middle.
"Hiss!" The demon spider hissed, stopped its ferocious attack on Lunt, and turned around. Its body and abdomen were already on fire.
Sonia, who was sneaking, suddenly attacked. She dodged the spider's legs and swung her double daggers, quickly blinding the spider's four eyes.
Ofina and Madeleine, who had already entered the cave, also released their magic.
At this time, the demon spider's body suddenly paused, and a large amount of dark green gas spurted out, covering the spider's body. The flames on the spider's body also went out.
Sonia, who was wandering around the spider waiting for an opportunity to attack the spider's eyes, saw the poisonous gas appearing and immediately backed away, but it was still a little late. The petite body was contaminated with some poisonous gas, and his face instantly turned pale.
When Ofina saw that Sonia was poisoned, she hurriedly shouted: "Sonia, use the antidote quickly! I can't detoxify the poison of the Sirius Demon Spider!"
Sonia, who had retreated to a safe position, took out the antidote and drank it. Her expression softened, but she also lost her fighting power.
The spider legs attack sharply, and the spider venom is so poisonous that Lunt can't stand it. Only Rogge, Ofina and Madeleine are left able to fight.
Fortunately, the Sirius Demon Spider stayed still for a while after spraying the poisonous gas. It had two legs broken, four eyes were blind, its body was burned by fire, and it spewed out a large amount of essence toxins. It was at the end of its strength.
Madeline's lightning strike technique was ready. The tall girl pointed her hand in the cave, and a thunder exploded.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon Spider was hit by the lightning strike. Green animal blood flowed from the spider's body, and it could no longer hiss. But the tenacious monster was not dead yet, and was still struggling to get closer to Madeleine and the others.
Ofina controlled the sword of light to attack the demon spider, but the seriously injured demon spider was able to block most of the attacks with its legs. The lightsaber only left a few moderate scars on it.
Rogge came to the front of the demon spider and shot the remaining four eyes of the demon spider steadily and accurately.
The demon spider, which did not move quickly and had to block the lightsaber, was unable to take care of its eyes and was shot blind by Rogge.
With its eyes blinded and all the sensory hairs on its body burned away by the flames, the Sirius Demon Spider could no longer resist Orfina's lightsaber.
Ofina controlled several lightsabers to pierce the spider, Rogge also shot a charged arrow through the spider's belly, and Lunt threw a spear vigorously into the spider's mouthparts.
As Madeleine's lightning strike hit the demon spider again, the Sirius demon spider lay motionless on the ground. Arthropods have a tenacious vitality. Rogge did not dare to be careless and shot many more arrows at it to make sure that the spider was dead.
Ofina goes to check on Sonya. The first-level rare-level antidote is enough to deal with the poison of most blood-transformed monsters, but this is the strong-level demon spider poison. Fortunately, the main attack method of the Sirius Demon Spider is its powerful spider legs instead of spider venom, and Sonia only got a little bit of the poison, otherwise something might have happened.
The spider poison had spread, and Sonia was weak against the cave wall, but that was all, nothing else was serious. Ofina cast a blessing spell on her, slightly speeding up her recovery.
Rogge and Lunt put down the two humanoid cocoons. After tearing open the cocoons, they found the two intermediate warriors from the Dawn of Light Adventure Group. Their corpses had a slight green color on their faces and multiple hideous wounds on their bodies.
The adventurer who was cut in half at the door was a young woman, with a confused and incredible expression on her face, covered in blood. She was probably attacked in the same way as Lunt when she entered the cave, but she was unable to react and died.
Rogge sighed, and Lunt gathered several corpses and placed them in one place. The corpses of the rest of the people were already some distance away from them, and Sonia couldn't move now. Rogge didn't want to take the risk of separating the team, so he had to give up collecting their corpses.
After the poison around the body of the Sky Wolf Demon Spider had dispersed, Rogge stepped forward and took out the demon spider's magic core. This magic core has a hint of green in the grayish white, which may be related to the poison of the magic spider. There is still a scarlet part in the center.
Rogge put away the magic core and cut off all the spider legs. The spider legs were very large, and Rogge only left the strongest and sharpest part of the front of the legs, which he divided with others and put into the space ring. The spider venom glands were left to the professional Ofina to remove and put them away.
At this point in the exploration, Rogge's team has gone through 3 battles and defeated 4 monsters. In view of the huge size of the Cave Demon Lizard and the Sky Wolf Demon Spider, the trophies harvested almost filled several people's space rings.
The adventurers of the Dawn Light team must have space items and other valuable items, but the upright Rogge did not want to touch their things and did not search for them.
After a while, Sonia was able to move, but Roger decided to repair it on the spot.
