Opposite to Li Dongchen's position, Zhang Xiaolu watched Li Dongchen's little paper crane hesitate in mid-air, constantly spinning in place.
When she was wondering, a woman's cry for help suddenly came from the distance, "Help...help...help me..."
Zhang Xiaolu, who heard the sound, immediately looked away from the little paper crane and turned around to identify the exact direction of the sound.
After a brief pause of two seconds, he ran towards the northwest, quickly running for a hundred or ten meters, when a huge cave appeared in front of him.
Without thinking, Zhang Xiaolu swung the spiritual sword in her hand and chopped down the dense weeds blocking the cave. Just as she was about to rush into the cave, a cloud of yellow-green mist hit her face.
Realizing that something was wrong, Zhang Xiaolu immediately held his breath and retreated. Before he could see clearly what was in front of him, he heard a strange noise in the yellow-green mist.
Making a decisive decision, Zhang Xiaolu kicked his legs to the ground and jumped back, pulling away from him. He took out a silver-white marble from his waist with his left hand and threw it over. At the same time, he closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"Bang." The silver-white marbles exploded and burst into dazzling light.
"Help me quickly...we are here...squeak..." After the spiritual weapon with the effect of a flash bomb exploded, a sharp hissing sound mixed with a cry for help sounded from the mist, and at the same time there were tiny knocks.
Voice.
Zhang Xiaolu, who had been studying in this spiritual world for nearly three months, knew what this sound represented. When he opened his eyes after the bright light ended, Zhang Xiaolu, who had seen many strange beasts in the spiritual world, felt his scalp numb.
As far as the eye can see inside the cave, there are giant spiders about one and a half meters in size everywhere.
Their entire bodies were covered with black fur, and their backs had purple skull-like patterns. Their shining scarlet eyeballs locked onto Zhang Xiaolu's figure, and they came towards her from all over the cave.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
He took off the spiritual weapon Repeating Crossbow on his back and pulled the trigger one after another. After being hit by arrows, the giant spiders closest to Zhang Xiaolu were hit by arrows and staggered to the ground, with juice splashing out.
Needless to say, the quality of the weapons provided by my mother is undeniable.
However, this only temporarily curbed the spiders' offensive. Spiders were still rushing out in the yellow-green mist, quickly occupying places up and down the passage. Zhang Xiaolu immediately realized that he might have stabbed a strange beast's den this time.
Holding the sword in his right hand, he raised his left hand to make a fist. A light golden stream of light spread upwards from the cuffs, and aura began to escape from the fingers.
With almost enough energy, Zhang Xiaolu twisted his upper body and slapped his palm forward. The air in front of him expanded instantly and then surged out, like the roar of a giant cannon.
The spiders that were rushing forward a second ago screamed and retreated amidst the heavy cannons of solid air, trying to avoid the coming terrifying attack.
Unfortunately, how can these spider beasts with poor defense capabilities and around the peak of the first level be able to withstand the supernatural attacks of practitioners in the early stages of the third stage?
The air flow generated by Zhang Xiaolu's attack dispersed the mist that had been lingering at the entrance of the cave, and forced the spiders back. At this time, she finally saw the situation inside the cave clearly.
Spiders, so many spiders!
"Help me." The woman's cry for help appeared again... coming from deep inside the cave.
Zhang Xiaolu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then walked into the cave.
…………
"Peng." The hot flames swept around, and the spiritual light of the red bracelet on Zhang Xiaolu's wrist dimmed a little.
Stepping over the charred black spider carcasses filled with smoke rising from the ground, Zhang Xiaolu turned his gaze to the path that was submerged in off-white spider webs.
The cave leads directly to the ground and is unfathomably deep. The path forward is covered with thick spider webs. They are connected in series everywhere and even lay a thick layer on the ground.
What's even more striking is that the giant "chrysalis" piled up at the corners of the wall seem to be aware of the intrusion of outsiders. They are constantly shrinking and twisting, as if something will come out of them in the next second.
Rush out.
"Flame." Zhang Xiaolu, who had just taken a step forward, raised his right hand and waved it, and the spiritual light of the red bracelet on his wrist began to flow.
A fire snake appeared out of thin air and launched an attack under Zhang Xiaolu's command, but this time it was not directed forward, but toward the ground beneath him.
The flames burst out in all directions with Zhang Xiaolu as the center. The scale was not large but it was enough to ignite the surrounding spider silk.
This area is obviously the incubation area of spider beasts. The guys in those "chrysalis" must be those disgusting spider beasts. Zhang Xiaolu thinks it is better to let them die in it.
Dispersing the flames around him to prevent them from spreading to himself, Zhang Xiaolu didn't care about the spread of the fire. The only flammable carrier in this cave was the off-white spider silk, so it wasn't a big problem.
Zhang Xiaolu's goal when entering the cave was to save people. Although the person probably wasn't a human being, as an investigator, when she heard someone calling for help, she had to confirm the authenticity.
"Help me...I'm here..." The cry for help that had disappeared for a long time appeared again.
In the firelight, Zhang Xiaolu remained unmoved this time, staring closely at the chrysalises cracked by the heat in the corners, as well as the ferocious spider faces exposed in them, as well as various ordinary animals or exotic animals.
beast.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Xiaolu already understood something. These spider beasts used this place as their nest, and then went out to capture other creatures as "vessels" for raising their offspring.
"This kind of alien beast that parasitizes other creatures to breed offspring is really disgusting." Looking at the young spider alien beasts that kept emerging from the pupae and struggling in the flames, Zhang Xiaolu didn't have much pleasure on his face, but
It is becoming more solemn.
She realized a problem. Just now, she roughly counted the number of "pupas", and there were at least two to three hundred.
So here comes the problem. The number of spider beasts we just encountered at the entrance of the cave was about sixteen or seventeen. It is a bit difficult no matter how you think about it, this number of spider beasts can feed two to three hundred spiderlings that are about to be born.
Then the conclusion may be that there are more spiders and strange beasts in the cave.
This problem did not bother Zhang Xiaolu for too long, because as time went by, the large amount of ignited spider silk disappeared, and the huge hole on the ground inside the cave could no longer be covered up, and it was directly exposed in front of her eyes.
Stepping forward, Zhang Xiaolu looked down at the cave, which was nearly fifteen meters in diameter and covered with spider webs.
"Zhizhizhi..." A dense sound appeared in the darkness. Zhang Xiaolu, who was wearing a lighting helmet, took out a small piece of luminous stone from his pocket, activated it and threw it inside.
The light dispersed the darkness, and hundreds of spider beasts crowded together. They looked at the intruder in front of them with fear, and made noisy sounds from their mouths.
Although Zhang Xiaolu is a powerful practitioner, she is still a girl after all. When she sees these spider beasts crowded together in front of her, she will inevitably feel a little numb.
"Huh..." took a deep breath to calm down the slightly agitated emotions in his heart, and then launched an attack on the spider beast in front of him with a determined expression.
…………
"boom……"
"Zi la..."
The battle in the cave quickly subsided. After all, these spiders and beasts were not very strong. They encountered an enemy who brought his own mother to equip him with many spiritual weapons. The result is self-evident. Zhang Xiaolu’s offensive
That's called a devastation.
Continuing to move forward, the enemies encountered were eliminated by Zhang Xiaolu as soon as they came face to face.
The numerous spider silks in the cave melted under the heat of the flames to a certain extent even faster than frost and snow.
After a while, the environment of the more than 200 meters of road gradually became clearer, and more than ten meters further, it turned out to be the end.
Zhang Xiaolu walked around the potholes in the ground and reached the end of the road. The moment he arrived, Zhang Xiaolu's pupils suddenly shrank.
With the help of lighting equipment, she discovered a huge pit half a meter away, and everything except the four walls had sunk in.
Standing on the edge of the pit and staring at the dark pit for a while, Zhang Xiaolu quickly discovered that there were many marks and some off-white spider silk on the edge.
If nothing else, there are spiders and strange beasts under the pit, and the cave is deeper than that.
"Should I retreat temporarily and go back to meet Li Dongchen and Lao Jiang to discuss it before continuing the exploration?" Zhang Xiaolu thought for a moment, and then made a decisive decision.
She activated the flying spiritual weapon on her ankle and jumped down.
"I must figure out what that cry for help is all about as soon as possible. No matter what is hidden underneath, I must figure it out."
Even with the weight of his equipment and the assistance of flying spiritual weapons, Zhang Xiaolu still controlled the speed of his fall perfectly.
The luminous weapon on the top of the helmet could only illuminate the stone wall at first. After about ten seconds, the stone wall disappeared and was replaced by darkness. Sure enough, there was another cave under the pit.
Zhang Xiaolu, who was carrying a lot of gadgets, caused a "ding-ding" noise when he landed on the ground.
His eyes scanned the surrounding environment, spider silk, spider silk, without saying a word, Zhang Xiaolu set another fire.
"Help..." After the flames ignited the spider silk, a woman's cry for help suddenly appeared. Zhang Xiaolu, who had just set off a fire, suddenly stopped moving because the source of the cry for help was right behind her.
The firelight dispersed the vast darkness, and among the remaining shadows, a crystal stone wrapped in spider silk gradually emerged.
The color of the spar was purple, and there was not even a faint golden light flashing on the surface, and there were intermittent words asking for help from the person in front of him.
"Huh..." Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaolu turned around suddenly and slashed down with his sword.
"Cang." Accompanied by the crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, Zhang Xiaolu felt his entire right arm trembling. The blade of the sword was pressed against the large pliers that were approaching at some point, and his left hand was pressed against the crystal in front of him.
The spiritual weapon bracelet on the wrist was activated again, and the flames condensed and formed, instantly burning away the spider silk around the crystal.
The crystal that lost its restraints fell immediately, and Zhang Xiaolu didn't bother to pick up the purple crystal that could make sounds at this time.
Then he clenched his palm into a fist and blasted a pillar of blazing fire towards the shadow in front of him.
After this attack was launched, the spiritual weapon bracelet on the wrist completely lost its luster. Today, its number of uses has reached its limit.
The flames sprayed out were very fierce, burning the strange beast that used the crystal as bait to lure him into the bait.
"Roar..." Amid the roar, another large purple-red pincer covered with protruding short thorns slammed into Zhang Xiaolu's head with a roaring wind.
"Huh." He ducked away, his hair flying in the strong wind.
Zhang Xiaolu, who had dodged the attack, stared at the group of scarlet eyeballs of different sizes not far away, took out some luminous stone fragments from his pocket, activated them with psychic energy, and threw them out with his wave.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Pieces of luminous stone fragments were embedded on the wall by Zhang Xiaolu, and she forcibly created a daytime area.
The white light emitted by the luminous stone cut through the dark curtain, forcing the alien beast that attacked Zhang Xiaolu to reveal its body.
"Uh... spider? Crayfish?" Zhang Xiaolu didn't know how to describe the strange beast that appeared in front of him at this moment.
Its appearance is different from the spider beasts Zhang Xiaolu encountered before, and it looks more like a combination of the two creatures.
Waving a pair of large pincers is clearly the signature feature of crayfish. The size of the pincers is close to two meters, but the main body behind it is a 5-meter-sized spider. The purple skull pattern on the back is the same as seen before.
The ones that arrive are generally the same.
At the second level of peak, this strange beast has the spiritual energy fluctuations of the second level of peak.
"Bang." He raised his foot and kicked away the oncoming large pliers. Zhang Xiaolu looked at the ugly beast in front of him, looking for an opportunity to attack.
The latter also had no intention of giving up the prey it had finally attracted, and pounced on it again, opening its mouth and spitting out a large ball of purple-red liquid.
Zhang Xiaolu dodged away, glanced at the off-white spider silk that was corroded by the liquid, and instantly knew its characteristics.
"Bang." The two large pliers came down again, and this time Zhang Xiaolu did not retreat but moved forward, approaching the abdomen of the alien beast.
Her idea was simple. For a spider-type beast like this, its soft abdomen would always be its most fatal weakness.
As if aware of Zhang Xiaolu's thoughts, this strange beast no longer just used its large pliers to beat it, but also began to use its remaining jointed limbs.
If the former is a heavy hammer, then the latter is a sharp steel spear, stabbing Zhang Xiaolu's body with a harsh sound.
At the same time, the spider's frequency of spraying liquid was also increasing, and soon a layer of corrosive liquid was spread on the ground in front of him, hoping to force Zhang Xiaolu to stop his progress.
This trick may be useful for ordinary people, but now it is facing Zhang Xiaolu, who is not lacking in spiritual weapons.
His eyes locked on the smashed pliers. The moment it hit the ground, the hairpin in Zhang Xiaolu's hair glowed with light, and a weak beam of light shot out and sank into the body of the alien beast.
The body of the alien beast that was hit by the beam stiffened instantly. Taking this opportunity, Zhang Xiaolu jumped up, stepped directly on top of the big pincers, ran forward along the thick chelicerae, and immediately jumped high into the air.
Running spider's back.
Even if the spider regains its ability to move, no matter how sharp its limbs are, there is no possibility of it turning around and attacking Zhang Xiaolu.
The latter held the spiritual sword in mid-air with both hands, and after concentrating his spiritual energy, stabbed downwards like a meteor falling to the ground.
