"The rest is up to you."
After Wang Chen drank the potion, he felt clear-headed and said to Lin Lehan.
He grabbed Mori Lan, took out the headlamp from the storage space, and went to the Celestial Silkworm Cave.
This was the tactic they had discussed. Wang Chen first cast a round of magic to weaken the Celestial Silkworm Spider, and then Lin Lehan stayed to deal with it. Wang Chen then went deep into the cave to take out the egg-protecting spider silk.
Logically speaking, this kind of infiltration work should be done by Lin Lehan, but after careful consideration, Wang Chen decided to do it himself.
First, after carefully questioning Lin Lehan, he found that Lin Lehan, who was only at level 10, even though his profession was the Shadow Thief, was still not as fast as Wang Chen.
In other words, it would not be much faster for Lin Lehan to get the egg-protecting spider silk.
Second, although the infiltration speed is not much faster, the Shadow Thief profession, which specializes in agility, will make Lin Lehan more flexible than Wang Chen, making him more suitable for staying to contain the Celestial Silkworm Spider.
The third reason is naturally because Wang Chen wants to collect the spider eggs into the ring of life, and no one can be around him.
Fourth, Wang Chen's skills and equipment are more diversified, and he can cope with unknown changes after entering the cave.
However, it stands to reason that nothing will happen. The Cecropus spider is a solitary creature and will live with its mate for a period of time before mating and laying eggs. However, after the female spider lays eggs, she will move the male spider to the same place. Eat to supplement nutrition.
So since Lin Lehan's mission is to collect egg-protecting spider silk, the female spider indicated in the mission is living alone. Just pay attention to the spider web traps that may be in the cave.
No, not long after Wang Chen broke into the spider lair, he encountered a trap.
He felt something tripped at his feet, and there was a sound like a thread breaking under his feet.
Then a strong wind came from in front of Wang Chen. He bent down and made an iron bridge to barely avoid it.
When he stood upright while holding on to the rock wall and looked back, he found that a large group of spider webs had spread out on the rock wall where he came from.
"This Sky Silkworm Spider has set up a trigger trap in the spider lair? Is its intelligence level so high?" Wang Chen was a little confused.
He saw the description of the skills of the Celestial Silkworm Spider in the Eye of the Beast. Although it also said that it could use spider webs to make traps, he thought that the most it could do was dig a hole and fill it with spider silk, so that the prey could fall into it and be unable to move. Category.
Unexpectedly, it actually has some traps designed into it. Such trigger-type traps undoubtedly prove that the Celestial Silkworm Spider has preliminary intelligence.
Wang Chen felt wary and felt that he could not underestimate this ferocious beast.
After a slight tangle, he tightened the Mori Lan in his hand and said, "The battle has begun, and now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."
Wang Chen waved the forest, and the head of the staff was filled with lightning.
"Thunder barrier!"
Three barriers flashing with thunder light floated around Wang Chen, and the light they emitted made the surrounding area a little brighter.
"I feel more at ease now." Wang Chen continued to move forward.
He didn't put a shield on himself before entering the spider den because he felt that it would affect his actions. He just wanted to pay attention to the traps, and his eyesight and dodge ability were more important.
If he could have avoided a trap, but the armor on his body increased his contact area, and then the spider webs entangled him, and he needed to spend a lot of time to resolve the webs, that would be bad.
Moreover, he is also wearing inner armor, so he can definitely defend against fatal attacks.
But the current situation made him feel that the trap of the Celestial Silkworm Spider was not that simple. It was better to be careful and spend more time.
"hiss--"
Suddenly, Wang Chen felt a tearing pain in his back, making him grin.
It should be that the iron banqiao lower back strained his muscles just now. It seems that he still needs to train his body on a daily basis. He can't neglect physical training because of his supporting profession.
But he didn't mean to show off his extreme low-down just now. His past habit was either to dodge to the left or right, or to throw himself forward and backward.
But the rock-breaking skill carried by the combat boots allowed him to stand very firmly, and for a moment his body subconsciously slumped down.
Fortunately, after rubbing my psoas muscles for a while, the pain subsided.
"It seems that my waist is still very strong." Wang Chen felt a little surprised, the pain went away as quickly as it came.
He didn't think much and continued walking forward, his headlight illuminating the road ahead.
In the next short journey, Wang Chen encountered the same trigger trap four more times, but the tripwires were in different places.
Some are on the ground, some are in mid-air, and some are first disguised as being on the soles of your feet, allowing you to jump over and avoid them, and then hit the trip wires on your shoulders.
Wang Chen just caught these spider silk bullets, then used the forest to summon a water column, twisting the spider web wrapped in front of him into it, and then moved forward.
He walked very cautiously and a little slowly, but no matter how slow he was, the road would come to an end.
After walking down a corridor with no forks, he arrived at a grotto. The grotto was approximately circular and quite large in area, estimated to be sixty or seventy square meters.
In the corner of the cave, oval-shaped spider cocoons are displayed.
"Is this the egg of the Celestial Silkworm Spider?" Wang Chen stepped forward to find out. He held up the water column and came closer. Part of the spider cocoon was broken by the wildly spinning water jet and was involved in the whirlpool.
"This is not egg-protecting spider silk, and it doesn't look like spider eggs." Wang Chen was a little curious, "Then what could it be?"
He touched more spider cocoons with water jets, and a large part of the dense spider silk was quickly removed, revealing the contents.
It was a young deer, which was completely stuffed into a spider cocoon. It was dead, but it seemed to be still alive. The frightened and painful expression on the deer's head was lifelike.
At the same time, a pungent smell penetrated into Wang Chen's nose.
"Is this the food reserved by the Celestial Silkworm Spider?" Wang Chen covered his nose, "It seems that it is used to stuffing its prey alive into the cocoon."
"I don't understand. It's so stinky, how can it be delicious?" Wang Chen cursed.
After figuring out the situation of the spider cocoon, he continued to search for the whereabouts of the spider eggs in the cave.
But after searching for a long time with a high-power headlamp, I still couldn't find it.
"In order to store food, I dug a separate storage room. Silkworm Spider is very particular about her life today."
"So, I have to keep going forward." Wang Chen looked at the two corridors on the other side of the rock wall.
A corridor has a larger space, and a car-sized Celestial Silkworm Spider can easily pass through. But this road is now covered with spider silk. At first glance, it looks like there is a white wall with extremely high density of coverage.
If Wang Chen wants to use water jets to clean them out, it will probably take a long time. Lin Lehan may not be able to delay that long.
As for the other corridor, there is no spider silk in it, and the entrance of the corridor is smaller than the previous one, so the Celestial Silkworm Spider will probably have to squeeze through.
"Isn't it a bit too insulting to make this trap so obvious?"
