"You see, even a pair of underwear or a piece of toilet paper has its use. Especially in this environment where supplies are scarce, we need to find ways to explore the potential value of various things."
Mo Bei was enjoying the cool breeze and pointed at the giant jungle mosquito that was forced to open for business.
"Um!"
Milor nodded seriously. Although Mo Bei's metaphor made her a little speechless, she still thought it made sense.
The buzzing sound of the flapping wings somewhat affected her ability to use her ears to detect unusual movements around her, but instead she used this interference to train her perception.
"Huh? Why has the wind dropped again?" Mo Bei said, digging out a piece of gravel from the crack in the stone and throwing it over.
However, this time, the big mosquito did not continue to fan vigorously after being hit like before. Instead, it drooped its two wings and stopped even moving its sucking mouthparts.
"Oh shit... I'm so exhausted after only half a night... I'm not strong enough."
Mo Bei stepped forward to check and found that the giant jungle mosquito was actually dead. He depressingly took the body off the sword hilt and threw it away, ending its tragic life.
But they had rested comfortably anyway, and the three of them set off again under the cover of night, descending the mountain and entering the dense forest.
At this time, every corner of the dense forest was glowing with a strange and faint phosphorescence, which was emitted by spores scattered by some fungi and a large number of animal carcasses in the forest. Although the visibility is far less than during the day, it can still be of considerable help.
Once these almost ubiquitous phosphorescent lights flash abnormally, it's probably a sign of a monster, so traveling at night is not much more dangerous than during the day.
Shortly after dawn, the three of them suddenly saw a bright light. Amidst the rumbling sound of water, the river next to them rushed down the cliff again without hesitation. Looking at the sea of fog in front of them, the three of them were really shocked.
This cliff, which is represented by a line on the simple map, has such a huge difference in terrain!
The entire land in front seemed to be completely disconnected. It had sunk to an unknown depth, and the entire sight range was covered in white and thick fog, making it difficult to see the scene below. And the height that can be judged is two to three hundred feet.
Mo Bei opened his arms, took a deep breath, and exhaled again, feeling really relaxed and happy.
Then he took the lead and jumped down from the cliff. Using the thick vines and overgrown trees on the cliff to continuously buffer the inertia of his fall, he quickly descended to the bottom of the cliff.
After a few flashes and jumps, he approached the thick fog below. Through the whistling wind in his ears, he keenly sensed the trembling sound of tree branches. Then a group of gray-green shadows broke through the fog, as if there was a finger. The overly tapered hands were thrust towards his face!
Although he climbed and jumped like an ape all the way down, he still held the sword of spiritual excellence tightly in his right hand. With a kick of his feet, he slashed down with the "big hand" in the air, and the two figures disappeared into the mist together. among.
In just a moment, the sword blade pressed against the "big hand" to break open the branches and slash them to the ground. Yellow-green slime splashed on the tree trunk nearby. After a short and sharp neigh, the sneak attack monster was broken. vitality.
Although he already had some understanding of this area before entering it, he was still a little surprised by the misty woods in front of him.
No wonder the fog above is not too thick, but it looks like a sea of clouds, with not a trace of green forest showing through.
The ground, tree trunks, branches, and even the branches and leaves at the top of the trees were all covered by a white mesh. The entire forest was almost completely wrapped.
And the monster on the ground that had just been killed was a spider.
A giant spider with a body the size of a calf!
After the eight long legs as thick as arms were unfolded, they covered an area of more than one foot. This spider was much larger than the Orak they had encountered in the tomb before.
And there’s far more than just one!
The moment he landed, several such giant spiders surrounded him from the top of the tree or in the forest.
As soon as Mo Bei took in the surrounding scene, he drew out the power of the divine words with his left hand, slashed with both swords, and rushed out with the spider's stump wrapped around it.
The Valkyrie followed closely behind, her spear hanging upside down from the sky, nailing a giant spider to the ground, and crushing the head full of small eyes.
The giant spider's eight spiked steel whip-like long legs violently scraped the ground twice before going soft.
Along with the movement, more giant spiders in the distance are also surrounding here, but Milor and Perona have also joined the battle. These mutated creatures simply cannot withstand the strangulation of a few people. After just a moment, the surroundings are surrounded by Silence fell again.
"The spider's territory has actually spread here. It seems that if they can't be suppressed, this cliff will be dug into caves before long."
Mo Bei looked around and raised his hand to pull off a ball of spider web from the tree trunk. He found that it was not very sticky, but because the spider silk fibers were extremely thin, it had a strong wrapping and covering ability.
After these spiders grow to such a size, they basically no longer rely on these spider silks to hunt prey, and over time they no longer secrete sticky substances. The function of these spider webs is actually to store food and protect young eggs.
"Why do they cover the entire forest? It doesn't seem to be of any use to them..." Milor looked at the tree crown that was completely covered, puzzled.
"Maybe they think the pure white world is more romantic."
Mo Bei was talking casually, and tugged on the spider web in his hand. He found that the strength was not low, so he tore it into two strands, twisted it into a rope that was even thinner than a pencil, and pulled it again. .
"Good stuff!"
Such a randomly twisted spider silk rope can easily withstand hundreds of kilograms of tension!
He looked up at the cobwebs covering the entire forest, as if he were seeing a treasure.
He had known that spider silk was a good thing before, so he acted like this just to confirm it. I didn't expect that no complicated polymerization process was needed to make such a strong rope.
And he never imagined that he would see such a huge amount of spider silk.
With such good materials, they actually grow hemp rope. . .
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
But then he realized that when he saw the information that spider silk is 6 times stronger than steel wire, he was also surprised and even doubted its authenticity.
These cobwebs are very fragile for job changers and are extremely afraid of fire. It is understandable that no one has thought of their value before.
With these spider silks, it takes almost no processing to make the strongest cables, the most durable fishing nets, and even sails that cannot be torn apart by any storm.
The builders of the giant airship he and Perona designed together had a headache as to what material to choose for the airbags on it. Now it seems that these spider silks are the perfect material. Is there anything lighter and stronger than this?
Then he picked up a severed spider leg. It was heavy. From the fracture, he could see that under the one centimeter thick burr shell, it was all white flesh.
Mo Bei had experience grilling spider legs, so he couldn't help but swallowed.
It seems that lunch is in order. This looks much more enjoyable than king crab legs!
He casually put away some spider legs and continued exploring deeper into the woods.
They had killed hundreds of giant spiders just now. If nothing else happened, there should be a small nest nearby.
Sure enough, before they had taken a few steps, they found many young spiders fleeing in panic in the forest, as if they understood that these humans who could easily kill adult giant spiders were definitely not something they could compete with.
Some of these spiderlings have grown to the size of a millstone, while others are only as big as a palm. The size difference is quite large.
Mo Bei felt that with this size, the spiders in his previous world were even giants, but in this rain forest, they were still babies.
Soon they followed the escape trajectory of the young spiders and found a hole in the ground. The hole was short and required a cat to bend down to enter, but it was more than two meters wide, which was just suitable for those giant spiders to enter and exit.
Sensing the unfamiliar aura approaching, the spider nest guards in the cave immediately swarmed out. Their size was the same as the previous giant spider, but they moved extremely quickly. Their eight eyes of different sizes glowed with a ferocious red light, almost like They rushed towards Mo Bei and the others head to tail.
There were obviously multiple other entrances to this nest, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of these nest guards flashed out from different directions.
