"So... is this what treasure smells like?"
Mo Bei asked teasingly, reaching out and fanning himself randomly, but the strange smell still lingered.
Perona puffed up her cheeks and continued to lead the way silently.
The underground lair of the Spider Forest was as complicated as they thought. The three of them had been wandering here for five or six days, but they seemed to have never been able to enter the core area.
In this environment, if there are endless giant spiders blocking it, it would be an impossible task to explore the entire underground lair. Fortunately, there has been no battle since entering here.
What makes people wonder is that the air here seems to be circulating, and from time to time it will bring a weird smell that is hard to explain. They have seen a lot of bad smells, but this slightly sour smell seems to constantly awaken their sense of smell. , and it happens from time to time, which is a bit torturous.
Mo Bei felt that if this were not the case, he might be able to develop the adaptability of "hearing it for a long time without noticing its odor", or it would be good to have a few battles to distract his attention. .
Every time they pass a fork in the road, they leave a mark to avoid continuous detours in an area. Perona has also drawn a map that is no different from a spider web. Although it is impossible to be accurate, she can at least record all the passages she passes.
At the same time, she also rejected Mo Bei's suggestion to keep going deeper underground, because the core of this underground lair may not be at the deepest point underground, and these spiders may not know exactly where they dug when they dug, which made many The larger nest chambers are connected by several passages, making exploration even more difficult.
When the map in her hand became complicated to a certain extent, she finally saw some clues. The core was not necessarily at the deepest point, nor necessarily at the center, but it would definitely be the place where the giant spiders dared not dig at will.
So now they are surrounding an area with relatively sparse passages, trying to find a passage leading to the core.
"What do you think this cobweb looks like?" Mo Bei looked at the cobwebs densely covering the entire passage wall and felt that he had finally found the right direction.
"Carpet." Milor responded softly, and he also saw the difference here, so he was a little excited.
The spider lair is naturally densely covered with spider webs, but it is not like this passage. It is as thick as carpets and curtains, and it feels soft even when you step on it.
Sure enough, there seemed to be a curtain hanging at the end of the passage, separating the space behind it.
Mo Bei cut open the curtain-like spider web with a sword, and a circular cave filled with fluorite appeared in front of him.
Although it had weak blue-green fluorescence, he still took out a strong light crystal, put it into a cone-shaped tinfoil cup, and made a simple searchlight to scan around. Such a beam not only shines farther, but also It will interfere with your vision.
Just like the passage outside, this place is also completely covered with white spider silk. Many of the furnishings, including fluorite, are obviously carefully arranged and have the feeling of a human residence.
Because they actually saw stone tables, chairs, display racks, and even a round stone bed.
This should be the lair of Spider Queen Irene.
The three people immediately made such a guess. After seeing some things in the lair, this guess was completely confirmed.
Although Eriny has this slimy slug belly, she seems to be very careful not to spread the slime everywhere. Only a small area of the cave wall in the entire nest is covered with slime.
The heads of several human women covered in mucus made the three of them glad that what they had killed was the body of Aireni, completely eliminating this extremely ugly spider that inexplicably longed to have human appearance.
In a corner arranged like an altar, there is a black metal stand, which holds a crystal that exudes the shadow of ice-blue flames.
"Why does this look so much like the fire on Webb the Burner?"
Mo Bei reached out and leaned in to feel it, but did not feel any harmful energy being released, so he boldly picked it up.
The three of them took a look, but no one could recognize what it was.
Another strange crystal. The one last time was made into a powerful life mixture. What good things can it be made into this time?
He put away this crystal that looked quite eye-catching with some anticipation. In addition, Ireni also had many collections that the three of them were baffled by.
Unnamed rhizomes, powders or crystals placed in stone bowls, and green bottles that people don’t want to open. These are either placed directly on stone display racks or packed in containers, and they look somewhat similar to the things in Eco's laboratory.
After looking around, there was nothing that seemed useful to them. As for the equipment of the victims, almost all monsters would try their best to destroy them all to prevent them from falling into the hands of human job-changers again, and they would not be kept at all. own trophies.
Perona looked a little disappointed, but Mo Bei took away even the stone display racks, preparing to take those things back to Eco for a look.
He threw these things casually in the inventory without worrying that Akali would accidentally touch them.
Over the past few days, the two of them have become quite accustomed to serializing their respective inventory spaces, and they no longer need to use the teleportation scroll to send messages back and forth. They directly place the message next to the other party's teleportation scroll. They will also place some things from around them for the other party, creating a lot more tacit interactions.
For example, Mo Bei would suddenly pull out a stone in the desert and ask Milor and Perona stupid questions like whether it looked like a frog, while Akali would giggle at the mushrooms Mo Bei randomly picked in the thousands of miles of yellow sand. Ned and Alvin also looked at each other with question marks on their faces.
As for other things, they will not touch them, so as not to disturb the other party's habit of taking them.
Mo Bei has also made the three of his team drink the life potion. Akali's increased health limit and health recovery speed are almost the same as his. Ned is not much different, but Alvin's improvement is second only to Pei. Rona, Mo Bei was puzzled. When did this unlucky child have the European emperor side?
But I have to say that the effects of this guy's various trainings are surprisingly good. It seems to be to reward this lazy man for his efforts. If he trains one by one, those who don't know think he is really an incredible genius.
But his real experience is actually similar to Milor's "throwing hard".
Don't think about anything, just do it!
What kind of gangster experience is this? . .
After taking away these things, Perona swept away the spider silk covering the entire nest in a fire, and also reduced the human heads to ashes.
The glowing fluorite placed in the nest reminded Mo Bei that most of these stones were made from local materials, and perhaps these spiders could dig out other useful things.
And the air that starts to flow in the underground passage from time to time is also a bit strange.
You must know that the air in this rainforest has always been extremely dull, and there will be no wind. After many observations, they discovered that the source of the breeze and the strange smell actually came from deeper in the crypt.
This time, the three of them followed the intermittent breeze and continued deeper into the ground. Finally, they entered a huge underground space, and there was actually a wide underground river here.
The river water fluctuated very little. After some exploration, I found that one end was completely blocked not far away, and I began to consider whether to continue exploring to the other end.
After their surprise gradually calmed down, the three of them discovered that the strange smell was actually emanating from the loose dark brown sand on the river beach.
"Why are you still giving me one grain after another..."
Mo Bei frowned in confusion, but after seeing some animal remains, he seemed to understand something. He looked at the granular sand covering the entire underground river beach, and sighed:
"This damn thing might actually be a treasure..."
