Chapter 129 Cave Black Spider
The dark cave leads to the unpredictable depths of the underground. Due to the narrow passage, the tall and burly thunder beast guards have to line up into a long dragon and move forward carefully under the next step led by Leon and Rose.
The light of the torch illuminates the long tunnel. The ground is full of messy gravel. From time to time, water penetrates through the cracks in the top wall and falls on the soldiers. If you don't pay attention, you may slip on the mud.
"This passage was excavated by the gobion, and it didn't take a long time..." Anlan, who followed Leon, said softly.
Traces of chiseling can be seen everywhere on the rock wall. Few passages from the underground world to the ground are naturally formed, and some of them are excavated by the underground goblins - this underground race, which once had a brilliant civilization, has an unimaginable enthusiasm for mining.
This time, deep into the ground, Leon only left Concordia and ten guards at the entrance of the hole, and all the others participated to ensure that he had enough strength to face possible dangers.
The trend of the crypt channel is gradually declining, and the length is surprising. When a team of nearly 100 people walked almost half of the sand, it suddenly became clear in front of Leon's eyes.
The end of the channel is a huge underground space with almost two or three hundred steps. Looking up, you can see the high dome, and there is a small underground dark river more than a dozen feet below.The circular underground space looks like a center used to connect various channels. There are four holes around it that lead to unknown areas, but no black elves or gobs can be seen, and there is no movement except the chow of the river.
Although there is no sunlight in the ground, it is definitely not dark. The dark river below is full of half a foot of plants, and the dark green buds are dotted with buds, emitting a soft light blue light.
These strange plants spread all the way to the entrance. The light of thousands of buds gathered together to illuminate the whole space. Without torches, Leon can clearly see the scene in every corner.
"This is a blue night flower..." An Lan leaned over and picked a small bud from the ground next to the mouth of the cave and put it between his palms: "It is our favorite plant of the black elves. In addition to being used for lighting, its juice can be mixed into the water to wash away dirt and delicate skin."
"This should be the transit point of the channel excavated by the gob. Those holes lead to different places, some can go directly to the ground, some can go deep into the underground, or it will be the next transit point, and it may also directly reach the real underground world."
As a black elf, although Anlan's ethnic group left the underground world thousands of years ago, their connection with the underground world has never really been cut off, so they still have a good understanding of the underground situation.
It is precisely because of this that Leon brought her here this time. If she forced a confession to the captured prisoners, she also needs to translate - those underground black elves generally do not understand the lingua franca of the mainland.
All the thunder beast guards came out of the passage. Everyone entered the relatively open area of the center along the dirt slope, and many soldiers looked around curiously.
Everything in the underground world is completely strange to them.
There are also four channels around, which is undoubtedly a test for Leon and others.
For thousands of years, tens of millions of gobs in the underground world have dug tirelessly. While expanding the underground world space, they have also dug up countless underground passages.
These channels are crisscrossed like cobwebs. If unfamiliar people rush in, they are likely to be completely trapped in the tunnel maze and can't find the circuit.
Fortunately, she held the silver thread golden civet in Rose's hand. She took out the little guy hidden in the beast's bag to look for the traces left by the black elf.
Under the gaze of everyone's expectant eyes, the golden civet jumped from the rose's hand and fell to the ground. It raised its head and stretched its nose to sniff hard, and then jumped towards a hole on the right.
Jumping over the dark river a few feet wide, the golden civet rushed to the mouth of the cave. It stopped there, lowered its head and sniffed on the ground several times, and then carefully climbed into the passage.
Squeak!
But the next moment, the little guy seemed to have met the most terrible natural enemy. He suddenly hissed sharply and turned around and fled.
It ran back to the rose and got into the beast's skin pocket again, which seemed to be very scared.
What's going on? Leon and Rose looked at each other in front of each other.
I don't know why, Leon suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, as if there was some danger approaching them.
"Defense formation, get ready to fight!"
Leon never doubted his intuition, and he gave the order immediately.
The guards faithfully carried out his orders and immediately formed a defensive formation to protect the fragile mages and scouts in the middle. The bows and crossbows were stringed with arrows, and the underground space was suddenly filled with tension before the battle.
Sand! Sand! Sand!
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the hole that the silver thread golden civet had just sniffed, as if a lot of things were crawling out from the inside.
The sound is getting denser and denser, and in this claustrophobic underground space, people can't help but feel creepy.
Without Leon's order, the guards turned the direction of the crossbow and aimed at the hole.
Hiss!
A dark figure suddenly flew out of the mouth of the cave. It quickly rolled down the dirt slope below the passage to the opposite side of the dark river, stopped only 20 or 30 steps away from the guards, and suddenly unfolded its eight long hairy legs.
This is a huge black spider, which is more than half a person tall. After the arthropod spider legs are opened, it is seven or eight feet wide, and it is densely covered with thorny hard hairs.
The round belly wrapped in black armor bulged, and a pair of scarlet spider eyes stood up and stared at Leon and others. The left and right machete-like teeth couldn't help clenching, and the fierce appearance was extremely ferocious!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
This terrible black spider is just a pioneer. It has just revealed its minions. A group of shadows flew out of the hole above the back, rolling down and unfolding one by one. They are all the same big guys!
In just a few seconds, the number of spiders has suddenly increased to more than a dozen, and it is still increasing.
"Attack!" Leon shouted harshly.
Oh! Huh!
Dozens of crossbows flew out from the middle of the guards and fell in the middle of the spiders.
But these powerful crossbows did not produce their due effect. After most of the arrows hit the spiders, they were bounced off by the hard shell on their bodies, which was undamaged.
Only a few crossbows were lucky enough to fall on the joints of several spiders before they barely pierced in.
The spiders were completely enraged. They let out a terrible hissing. They opened their mouths and spewed out a strand of silver-white spider silk. They quickly skimmed dozens of steps and shot on the shield of the guards and the spider silk under their feet. Each of these spider silks was almost three fingers thick, and the tip had a strong sticky surname. Once something was stuck, He immediately pulled back, and the shields in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers were glued and pulled away.
And two soldiers were unfortunately entangled in their ankles by spider silk, pulled to the ground by spiders, and dragged to the other side of the river!
"Be careful, everyone!"
While avoiding a bunch of spider silk, Leon practiced waving the thunderbolt sword and directly cut off the spider silk that entangled the warrior.
"Steady, keep the queue!"
Oh! Sneer!
Four or five spider silks shot at Rayon at the same time. Although he dodged at the fastest speed, a bunch of spider silk still stuck to the soul armor.
But the sticky part burst into flames, emitting a burning smell of scorching smell. The black spider that sneaked on Rayon pulled it empty and pulled back the spider silk and involuntarily stepped back a few steps.
Afraid of fire? Leon immediately shouted, "Dist all the torches, Aklan!"
More than a dozen torches were thrown over, accompanied by the fireballs released by the mage, and the flames fell among the spiders one by one.
Squeak!
The spiders were suddenly in a mess. Some of them were thrown on their bodies by torches, scalding and jumping around. Some of them let the fireballs hit them directly and turned over their bellies on the spot.
The spiders are really afraid of fire, especially the spider silk they spit out. When the fire attacked, the spiders suddenly fell into chaos like ants blowing up the nest.
The spiders that were not affected by the flames began to retreat, and the fear of the flames made them give up the attack.
Seeing such a scene, Aklan in the middle of the team frequently waved his staff, did not hesitate to his magic, and blasted out a series of fireballs.
Oh! ~ Seeing that the spiders were about to collapse completely, a sharp roar suddenly came from the mouth of the cave.
Hearing this sound, all the spiders seemed to have been beaten with a burst of chicken blood. They no longer retreated and fled, jumping in the direction of Leon and others with fireballs.
"It's a wizard. There is a wizard inside to control the crypt black spider!"
Anlan loudly reminded Leon that she could not help in the battle, but her familiarity with the underground world was unparalleled.
"Kill!"
Leon waved his weapon to meet the spiders who rushed across the dark river. Lei Yan's sword soared and cut on the head of a dark spider in a thunderous manner.
The head of the black spider in the cave suddenly cracked, and the black green body fluids splashed everywhere and fell directly on the ground.
Leon, who was hit by a hit, jumped hard, stepped heavily on his body with his right foot, flew more than ten feet in the air, and just landed on the other side of the dark river.
The two crypted black spiders next to him hurriedly turned their heads and opened their teeth and bit him. Leon suddenly rushed forward to avoid their interception, and the sword waved a black spider that was blocking the road ahead and cut it to the ground.
He quickly rushed to the slope, less than ten steps from the mouth of the cave.
Oh! Huh!
Five or six feather arrows suddenly flew out of the cave!
