There are not as many people in Bergeost as there are in Naxikai, but it is more prosperous. As the intersection of three trade routes, Belgost has a large number of hotels and prosperous commerce.

The weapons manufacturing industry developed with the support of Naxikai Iron Mine also has a scale that far exceeds that of Naxikai. Among them is the "Thunder Hammer Iron Shop" which is also famous in the game. Lu Yuan even went to visit it, but came out dejected.

black! It’s so dark!

A good pair of full-body armor costs 9,000 gold coins! An enchanted crossbow that can be cocked quickly for 9,000 gold coins!

A +1 enchanted short bow costs 600 gold coins, and a bag of +1 enchanted arrows costs 300 gold coins!

Finally, Lu Yuan visited the Thunder God Iron Shop's treasure - Shadow Armor with admiration. It is said to be the leather ring armor specially used by the shadow kings of Amn, and it sells for 16,000 gold coins!

I go! Gold fingers are useful! Is it necessary to learn a skill by yourself? Topping up your skills is like going to college all over again! You might as well give me a money modifier, bastard! Lu Yuan had already overturned several coffee tables in his heart, and he knew that this was the howl of a defeated dog. In the end, he could only buy half a dozen spears, each with a gold coin, which was more expensive than elsewhere, but we just like famous brands!

When we have money, we will wear two sets of full-body armor and not even wear one set! The mage can't wear full body armor, we use it for collection and preaching! But if we were really rich, why would we buy armor? It would be so fun to buy a mage tower to summon angels, succubi, and bewitches, and then imprison and train them to become ghosts. He was mentally unbalanced and ignored that whether he was wearing "Dragon Scale Chainmail" woven from small digger shells or "Pterodactyl Leather Exchangeable Armor-Plate Adventure Suit", they were both better and more expensive than full-body armor.

And his "Zhanyun" sword is an excellent weapon, isn't it?

To the north of Nasikai is Belgost, to the north of Belgost is the Friendly Arm Inn, and further north of Friendly Arm is Baldur's Gate, one of the two largest cities in the Sword Coast.

If you arrive at the Friendly Arm Inn in the spring of 1369, you will meet an old dwarf lady, Landling. Her home was overrun by spiders, and she originally expected to go to Baldur's Gate to buy some pesticides, but due to physical reasons, she had to stop at Friendly Arms, where she would seek help from adventurers.

Her home was right next to the Belgoost Happy Busker Hotel, and the spider that occupied her home was the giant poisonous spider that Lu Yuan was looking for to make a crossbow.

It was just the end of autumn in 1368, but Lu Yuan went to the old lady's house to investigate, and found that it had become a spider nest, with about four large spiders and a leader living in it.

I opened the slightly scattered yard and looked around. When Lu Yun came to investigate last time, he walked on the roof and didn't notice anything specific below. First, he confirmed that there were no other exits around. The windows and doors of the house were nailed shut. When Lu Yuan got closer, with his listening skills, he could roughly tell that there were two leaning against the door and the other one was in the basement.

Lu Yuan first placed two simple traps made of steel wire and nails at the door of the room, slapped the "door sealing technique" on the door, and then moved a large stone to prop up the door slightly outward. In fact, the easiest way to kill spiders is to use fireball. Those spider webs and other things inside are all flammable items. My "Five Fireball God Cult" is so powerful that I can throw five consecutive fireballs into it with the "Fireball Staff" to ensure that all spiders are killed. Done! Of course, the house is also done.

Even through the door, you can hear spiders crawling over, obviously hearing the sound. Before Lu Yuan could react, there was a stabbing sound, and a spider leg as thick as a thigh pierced the wooden door and stabbed Lu Yuan directly in the chest.

For a moment, Lu Yuan felt his eyes go black, all he saw were Venus, and he felt as if he was suffocating with a thousand kilograms of weight on his chest. But Lu Yuan's chest was equipped with thick armor plates. Although the pressure was a little higher for a moment, he was not injured at all. He just sat on his butt and squatted.

The spider legs covered with black hair like steel thorns began to wave. He couldn't miss the opportunity. Lu Yuan endured the severe pain in his chest and threw out the steel wire in his hand. As soon as the steel wire wrapped around the spider's legs, Lu Yuan used all his strength to pull back, and then Clamp the wire on the big rock.

There was a crackling and banging sound of limbs slapping from behind the door. The big spider was dragged against the door panel. One spider leg was stuck outside the door, and the other legs were stuck at the base of the leg, unable to use any strength at all. Lu Yuan stepped back and took a few breaths, feeling as if a knife had sliced ​​through his lungs. He picked up the spear lying beside him and stabbed it in against the root of the spider's leg.

There were several small holes in the door pierced by the hard tips of the spider's legs, and there was another big spider. Lu Yuan pulled out the spear, and the dark green spider body fluid spurted out like spring water. He stabbed and pulled out again. After a few times, the spider legs wrapped in steel wire hung down weakly.

Two lines of holographic information flashed before his eyes.

"Your sister!"

He untied the wire and placed the noose directly over the hole in the door panel. Turning the spear, he used the wooden pole to push the dead spider inward, and the loosened spider legs were also pulled in as the torso fell. Another huge spider was scurrying around anxiously because it couldn't see its prey. As soon as he saw the hole exposed, he immediately squeaked and stretched out a large claw, waving it aimlessly, trying to poke Lu Yuan.

This time Lu Yuan was prepared. As soon as the steel wire was pulled, the lasso tied the giant spider's claws and pulled it to the door panel. Lu Yuan stabbed with the spear again, not wanting to reach it directly into the spider's mouth, and it was bitten into two pieces with a snap. The name of the Nima Thunder Hammer was not strong enough! Lu Yuan got out of the way with a cold sweat, and used a spear to stab through the gap in the door panel. After several times, he finally killed this one.

After killing this one, the three remaining ones in the basement all lay in the corner and pretended to disappear, obviously waiting to land into a trap. Although Lu Yuan couldn't see it, he could still roughly determine the spider's location with his level 5 listening skills.

If three spiders pounced on them together at this time, and the door sealing technique could not stop them, even Lu Yuan would have to flee and find the town guards to deal with them. Now that the spider was stupidly waiting for him to take the bait, he immediately seized the time and started to strengthen the door layer by layer with nails and wooden boards. The door was already shaky after being tossed and shaken by two big spiders.

After the doors and windows were reinforced, the three big spiders were still lurking patiently.

Cast the second-level magic rope spell "Magic Rope" on the wire, and then cast the "level one summon monster" spell to summon a celestial monkey! Under the command of Lu Yuan, the monkey was extremely active, crawling and jumping around. It stretched its claws into the doorway to provoke, and immediately taunted two of the big spiders who couldn't help it.

The monkey turned and ran away. Lu Yuan relied on the door hole gun and the magic wire rope to kill the two giant spiders again.

He ran up in two or three steps and was about to untie the wire when a strong gust of wind hit him.

Lu Yuan rolled sideways to avoid the sharp claws. The last and largest giant spider did not stop, withdrew its claws and slammed into it. The half-destroyed door was completely broken into pieces, and a large black spider as tall as a person was The spider rushed out with smoke.

The spider rushed too fast, but it jumped directly from the trap set by Lu Yuan without stepping on it. Lu Yuan grabbed the last remaining spear and rushed over. The spider's claws swiped away, and the crooked spear missed the head and got stuck in the seam of the carapace.

"Ah!!!!" Lu Yuan exerted force on his feet, his whole body muscles tensed, and he used his body to resist the handle of the spear and push forward with all his strength. As soon as the spider pounced, only the back two of its six legs were on the ground. Lu Yuan pushed with all his strength, and the spider's center of gravity was unstable and it took a small step back, its hind limbs scratching on the wire of the trap.

Only two sounds of "boom, boom" were heard, the trap was triggered, and a dozen half-meter-long steel drills were shot into the spider's soft abdomen. In an instant, rancid green juice spurted out like a waterfall!

Lu Yuan let go of his spear, pulled out his sword and retreated to the entrance of the courtyard. The big spider only chased forward a few steps and then threw itself to the ground. After a few seconds, the loss of body fluids killed it.

*********************

The bright red fireplace was burning, drawing lines of light and dark on Lu Yuan's face.

There were no other spiders in the old lady's room. After cleaning up, Lu Yuan took out the silk sac of the big spider and put it away. Then the local guards were notified to finish it off. In the end, Thunder Hammer Iron Shop took away the bodies of five giant spiders for the price of 1,000 gold coins plus 5 bags + 1 crossbow arrow. The shell can be used to make very good inlaid leather armor, the venom can be used to make poisonous arrows, and the hard claw tips can also be processed into something special. They are not losing money in this business.

The town guard also gave him 300 gold coins and allowed him to temporarily live in the old lady's house as a reward for cleaning up the monsters in the town. Of course, the person responsible for this bill still needs to be found.

The spider first appeared in the basement of the room, but after Lu Yuan and the guard captain checked, they found no other tunnels, only a few broken spider eggs. Apparently someone picked up something they shouldn't have brought back. The spiders hatch, grow on food stored in the basement, and then start attacking humans living in the house.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan, sooner or later they would break open the doors and windows and use the entire town as their hunting ground.

Lu Yuan remembered that the mission items required the body of the largest spider, a pair of rag shoes and a bottle of wine. When he found the bottle of wine, he was stunned by the bright red color. The knowledge test told him that the red wine in the ordinary bottle was the horse head red wine produced in the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars and was worth thousands of gold!

The dead spider carcass weighed hundreds of kilograms, and I didn't know how to carry it there. Lu Yuan took one eye as proof, and gave the others to Thunder God Iron Shop. Although Lu Yuan himself needed materials, after dealing with more than a dozen ground-burrowing insects, he had the urge to throw a fireball at the insects and burn them completely.
