Chapter 342 The giant dragon roars, the mermaid shows off her power, and the heroic dragon-fish battle

"We are close to the spider lair." Phoenix said cautiously.

Isn’t this nonsense? I rolled my eyes seriously. Even a fool would know what was going on after looking at the surrounding environment.

It is still a forest of towering ancient trees, but it is covered with patches of "frost and snow". If you look carefully, these "frost and snow" turn out to be white spider nests. Between the densely spaced leaves, there are branched branches.

On the top, there are even more than a dozen trees connected between two trees, covering an entire open space horizontally. These places are covered with countless spider webs. The small webs are only as big as a thumb, and there are

One is as big as a palm, the other is as big as a washbasin, and the largest one is the one we just saw connected to more than a dozen trees and spans the entire open space. It is as big as half a football field. The light spider

The silk is only two fingers thick.

Such a giant spider web, let alone ordinary prey, even an elephant would definitely not be able to break free if it got stuck on it. We don’t know who its owner is or how big it is, because as soon as we saw it, Phoenix pulled us and hurriedly

Bypassed, according to it, the owner of the spider web should be the lord of this area. An unknown and powerful enemy like this also has a home field advantage. There are countless spiders under his command, so don't provoke them unless necessary.

good.

We are in this kind of white world with nests and intertwined spider webs. If you look up, there may be a spider as big as a basin hanging above you, with disgusting saliva hanging from its fangs.

Green compound eyes peer down at you, while spiders burrowing at your feet suddenly jump out at any time, biting you without mercy and trying to drag you into their nests. There are also countless large and small spiders, or crawling on the green leaves.

Among the bushes, or in tree holes, or hiding in the nest, staring at me through the white nest membrane. The cold and cruel eyes from all directions made me feel for the first time that it was nothing if my sixth sense was too sensitive.

Good thing. At the beginning, I still had the patience to clean up the cobwebs and spiders around me, but I soon gave up. Unless the entire forest was burned down, no one could escape from this creepy forest.

white mesh world.

Okay, let's recall what Phoenix said earlier. If you still don't understand where you are, then go to hell.

"Whoosh——"

The fire bombs that shot out of the air traced a fiery red trajectory, opening the passage blocked by countless spider webs in front of them. A few unlucky spiders standing on the spider webs were rubbed by the fire bombs, and they let out strange "hissing" sounds.

It fell to the ground, and the disgusting body that was smoking was struggling a few times, then its eight legs tightened, and it shrank into a ball and died.

"Let me ask. Is the teleportation station of Spider Forest really in such a ghost place?"

I hugged my body tightly and looked at the spider world around me. This was simply challenging the limit of my endurance.

"Of course, who do you think I am, Phoenix? How could I go astray?"

"Then why isn't there a decent road around? If it's a teleportation station, shouldn't there be a lot of adventurers coming and going? How could this happen?"

Angrily, I kicked over a spider that was sneaking up on me. I couldn't help but question. Spider webs from all directions completely covered the entire forest. At first glance, I felt that this was a path that no one had walked on for at least several years.

"Because I deliberately chose this untraveled path." Phoenix said proudly, as if he was not aware of the impending disaster, as if he had done a great deed.

"So that's it, that's it, everything is your fault..." I murmured, my facial muscles twitching.

The next moment, I had picked up Phoenix like a chicken, tied him up in twos and twos, and then looked around.

"You actually like spiders so much, so let's throw you onto a spider web and have a close encounter."

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Sanwu, who exuded a sense of non-existence, suddenly gently tugged at the corner of my clothes from behind, then stepped forward and pointed at a giant spider web in the blind corner of our sight, oh oh

.It’s really amazing. But then again, little Jasmine, how did you discover this? Have you already started planning to throw Phoenix into the cobwebs?

"Oh, no, brother Wu Fan, if you have something to say, you have something to say!!"

Phoenix's expression changed when he saw the spider web that Moissa pointed at. Although the spider web was not as exaggerated as the half football field he saw for the first time, half a basketball court could not escape. It was hanging under the spider web.

There is also a "rockery" that is the same color as stone. After looking carefully, he found that this "rockery" is shaped like a curled up spider. His face immediately turned pale - a giant stone-killing spider, as its name suggests.

It is about the size of a small car and has stone-colored skin. It likes to torture its prey to death and is famous throughout the Dark Continent for its cruelty and bloodthirsty.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a close contact. As long as the adventurer's health points don't return to zero, there will be no problem, right?" I comforted Phoenix kindly.

"That's what matters. You devil master and servant, let me go, let me go." Upon hearing this, Phoenix struggled even more happily.

"Tell me honestly, what are your intentions this time?"

Of course, I didn’t really want to throw Phoenix into a spider to grind his teeth. I frightened him for a while and then let him go. Let’s have a three-room trial. Little Jasmine, come over with a guillotine and we’ll chop him up directly.

Ahem, whatever, let’s interrogate him first and let him understand clearly.

"Well, because I discovered this road a long time ago, but I am alone and afraid of encountering any accidents, so I don't dare to take risks. And spiders are disgusting, right? It would be better if we can walk with more people." Phoenix

He chuckled sheepishly.

"So you're dragging us into the water?"

Sure enough, the dog-headed guillotine was too cheap for him. He should have stripped him naked, tied him up and hung him up above the entrance of Lu Gaoyin's market, and then prepared a number of long, rough, red-burned sticks with sharp and bifurcated tips underneath.

Those who were interested used long sticks to poke his anus until he died.

"Wait, wait, I still have something to say!!" Seeing the two of us turning dark, Phoenix exclaimed in surprise.

"Aren't you curious why I kicked those spider ovaries open along the way? In fact, there is a certain chance that there are good things hidden in them. Spiders almost have a habit of picking up something they like, but it is troublesome to carry it with them.

It will be kept in its own nest. You see, my long stick was kicked out of the spider's nest."

As he said that, he took out his long white stick as if to show off. I've seen its attributes. It just adds 3 heating points and 1 broken ice armor. It's not the best.

In fact, the heating skill is very important to a mage. Equipment that adds 2 heating points is already the best for a mage. However, someone who is not a mage is also a top-notch person, so he does not realize this at all.

"What good things can be hidden in that kind of ghost place? Can you tell me what good things you picked up along the way?"

I understood a little bit that Phoenix was going to be in trouble, so I went to kick the spider ovaries. At first, I thought he had a grudge against the spiders, but that was what happened, but he kicked hundreds of them along the way. I never saw that happening before.

Something. It was either a pool of disgusting green juice or a few fist-sized young spiders that panicked and spread out from the cracked ovaries.

"This is just a matter of probability. If it were so easy to kick, we wouldn't have to kill the monsters. We could just focus on kicking the spider ovaries." Phoenix said with a laugh,

"Probability? I think it's just wishful thinking."

I snorted coldly, glanced around, and happened to see a spider ovary not far away. I couldn't help but step forward and kicked it.

"jingle--"

In everyone's stunned eyes, more than a dozen gold coins made a crisp collision sound and were raised high.

"Hmph. Just a dozen little golden spiders."

After reacting, I stepped on the gold coins into the mud at lightning speed and said viciously.

"That's nonsense. You're obviously telling lies. It's more than ten gold coins. You just want to throw me to the spiders, right?" A series of complaints came out of the furious Phoenix's mouth.

My eyes were pretty bright. Faced with Phoenix's complaints, I squealed. It doesn't count this time. Next time, I must find an excuse for you to make out with the spider. I continued to scan my eyes. Fortunately, I found another one not far away.

A spider ovary.

I won't go wrong this time. God, please give me a few fist-sized spiders so that I can catch Phoenix and feed them to the spiders. With this prayer, I kicked him down again.

"Standing -"

There was a sound of metal friction, and a cracked emerald, a bottle of rejuvenation potion, and a blue chainmail fell to the ground in the stunned eyes of Phoenix and I.

The atmosphere was frozen for a long time...

"So that's it, that's what happened. I have been an unpleasant child since I was a child. I loved to peek at my neighbor's elder sister taking a shower, and I loved to lift girls' skirts..." Phoenix stood up from the ground with a gloomy look on his face, mouthing

I kept thinking about it.

I said, it’s strange that someone likes such a kid.

"Even Lady Luck hates me so much. I finally understand that I am not accepted by this world and am an excluded existence..."

In an instant, his thoughts went to extremes. He is such a troubled guy.

I originally thought that Phoenix would be depressed for at least a whole day after being hit so hard. Unexpectedly, before nightfall, this guy would come back to life again, eating crocodile meat and showing his signature cheerful smile. No, rather than cheerful, I

I think it would be more appropriate to describe it as a single cell. The next day, he continued his treasure hunting journey, saying that only challenges are fun. People like me who are favored by the goddess of luck will not understand how to get a treasure by accident.

The fun of a gold coin.

Well, there is indeed no need to understand, and I am not a beggar...

After dancing with spiders for two full days, we finally found that the overwhelming number of spider webs around us began to decrease. At least we no longer had to clean the road by ourselves. There are three possibilities for this situation. One is that we are about to leave the spider field.

Secondly, there are often adventurers coming and going around. As for the third possibility...

We are approaching the territory of a big boss.

However, even if we have the halo of the protagonist, we will not always have such "adventures" one after another. Phoenix told us that this is because the teleportation station in the Spider Forest is about to arrive.

Soon, we found the path leading to the teleportation station, and met a group of adventurers on the way. About an hour later, we arrived at the ruins of a small town that seemed to have been destroyed by some giant monster.

In a remote corner, I finally found the first teleportation station in Kurast - the Spider Forest Teleportation Station.

Two black-robed mages in charge of the teleportation station greeted him cordially. They seemed to know Phoenix, and after registering, everyone started chatting.

"By the way, Kanker, why are you building the teleportation station in a place like this?" I have always wondered why it is so bad that it should be built in such a ghost place full of spiders. No one who is timid dares to come here.

.

"Haha, sir, you don't know something."

The black-robed mage named Kanke smiled and threw a piece of dry wood into the red bonfire, and the boiling water in the iron pot on it began to steam.

"Actually, the forest is so dangerous. The teleportation station is the same wherever it is built, but compared with other places, don't you think there is something special here?"

"You mean...there are only spiders here?" After thinking about it, I can't think of anything more special here.

"Yes, there are only spiders here. Although it is a bit scarier than other places where monsters are found, there is only one kind of monster: spiders, and their living habits have already been understood. Isn't it easier to deal with it this way?

"

"So that's it, but I'm still curious. There are only spiders here. Then they must not have enough food. How can they survive like this? Are they preying on the same kind?"

"This is also one of the ways. The activity level of spiders is not large, so even if they are huge, their demand for food will not be too much. Every month, they will flock out of their own areas and go outside.

Forest hunting, if there is still not enough food, it will start to prey on the same kind..."

This kind of useless conversation lasted until late at night, but even if it was not nutritious, even if it was just humming and hahaha, it was something that the dark people were happy to do to pass the time. Because there was really too little entertainment here.

Early the next morning...

"I said, brother, you really don't need my company anymore."

Phoenix looked at us eagerly from the side, feeling that he was really addicted as a tour guide, but I think he was more thinking about taking us on an adventure. No, we had to expel this dangerous person as soon as possible.

"Well, go to hell." I nodded coldly.

Ah, he cried.

"Right, wait..."

Just when Phoenix was about to enter the teleportation point with his head downcast like a defeated rooster, I called out to him.

"This, this, and these things, you can take them."

I handed him a blue eagle's magic bead, a pair of golden heavy boots, and ten bottles of recovery potion. The blue eagle's magic bead was the one that this guy graciously gave me. Its attribute is plus 2 lightning.

, plus 1 fireball, +2 ice storm, +3 strength, which should be more useful in battle than his long white stick. As for the golden heavy boots, when you first encounter the Thorny Wood Demon, kill the elite Thorny Wood Demon.

The attributes dropped are also good. After all, they are produced by Wu Fan.

These two pieces of equipment were both mined during adventures with Phoenix. Although I am the only one doing the work and effort, it makes sense to ration them to him in the name of a teammate. However, for Phoenix, the most precious items are probably the replies.

Vitality potion, among adventurers, the demand for rejuvenation potion exceeds the supply. The price is higher than that of gold equipment. One bottle of vitality potion may not be able to exchange for a piece of gold equipment, but you have to take out three bottles to ensure that people who want to exchange can grab a lot.

To be honest, this thing is precious to other adventurers, but to me it is enough to drink as plain water. With a microwave, three bottles of mana potion + three bottles of life potion + a broken gem, I can easily combine it.

One bottle. If Akara hadn't allowed me to sell it in bulk (for fear of adventurers relying on it), I would have become the richest man in the dark world. Now I have so many rejuvenation potions that I have the ability to defeat the comprehensive rejuvenation potion (synthesized).

Conditions: three bottles of rejuvenation potion; synthesis time: greater than 72 hours; synthesis probability: less than 5%).

"Hey, why are you crying again?" When I saw Phoenix looking at the equipment and potions I handed over and wiping away tears, I felt dumbfounded.

"Woo~~, brother Wu Fan, I have always misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to be a good person."

Hey, hey. What do you mean by "unexpectedly"? Give me back the staff, give me back the boots, and spit out all the crocodile meat that I have eaten these past few days.

In the end, Phoenix accepted the Eagle Staff and the Golden Heavy Boots. As for the ten bottles of rejuvenation potions, he only took two. According to him, who am I, Phoenix? Do I need to rely on these things? This

The two bottles of rejuvenation potion were regarded as tour guide fees, so I reluctantly accepted them.

Watching Phoenix swaggeringly disappearing into the teleportation station, I sighed. Getting along with adventurers is actually a big subject. Everyone is extremely proud, and they have to weigh everything they give. If not,

If you give too much caution, you will be mistaken for looking down on or pitying the other person. Even a person like Phoenix who has a carefree personality and acts unscrupulously (Phoenix who appeared at the Kurast teleportation station: Yawn!! Who is thinking

Me?), and I don’t want to take advantage of it.

Therefore, it is better to give to your own women. You can give to whomever you want. It doesn't matter how much you give. If you don't obey, you will be served by the family.

I turned around, hugged Princess Sanwu, and kissed her hard on her snow-grey face while looking at me inexplicably. Then I opened the tent and gathered the girls to get ready.

If you want to do anything wrong, just stand in the corner.

Inside the tent, three people (?), one fish and one dog, sat together with solemn expressions. In the middle, the slightly swaying light of the stove placed in the middle shone on our solemn faces, making the atmosphere even heavier.

"First of all, before the discussion, I want to explain something."

Stern eyes swept over the faces of everyone (dogs? fish?). Seeing the resolute faces like soldiers who have experienced countless wars, I nodded with satisfaction.

"The first thing I want to explain is..."

Finally, I set my sights on our commander, the golden-haired Pekingese. Affected by the atmosphere, his posture seemed to straighten slightly, as if he was waiting for instructions.

"Dogs are not allowed to attend meetings." The next moment, I indifferently picked up the dead dog's ears and threw it to the corner.

"Ga-oh-ga-oh-"

The furious dead dog pounced and bit him.

"Wow~~ Xiaofan really managed to gain some atmosphere. I originally wanted to continue acting."

Due to the fight between me and the dead dog, the solemn atmosphere in the tent suddenly disappeared without a trace. The little ghost held his beautiful chin in boredom, sighed, and rolled his beautiful silver eyes.

"Even if you can understand human speech, you can't speak. Besides, what good advice can a dog give?"

I pulled the dead dog's two rabbit ears and said, "Look, even if I'm facing a reserve of food, even if it's just a stupid dog, I'll always be reasonable and present the facts. What is a saint? Please refer to me."

"Ga oh ga oh——"

While biting my thigh tightly, spitting out a vague sound from the furry mouth, the dead dog pointed at the little mermaid who rarely woke up.

"You mean why the little mermaid can participate again?"

I don't know why, but I can always easily understand the strange roars of dead dogs that are clearly not even dog language. Could it be that they have been cursed by some vicious spell? I shuddered.

"That's because..." The little ghost on the side looked at us playing with a smile, fearing that the world would not be in chaos and joined us.

"That's because Leona, your status is lower than that of Elijah.

oh."

Hey, hey, you are provoking it, you little one is definitely provoking it.

Sure enough, after hearing what the little ghost said, the dead dog immediately loosened his teeth from clenching me and moved his eyes to the kind-hearted little mermaid who was watching our fight curiously.

Hoho, how can we, the majestic dragon clan, lose to your mermaid clan? Don’t think that having a golden tail is a big deal. Let me tell you, this princess is actually a golden dragon, and her whole body is golden. She is better than you.

The golden color of half a bucket of water is much more noble. It's time. Let's compare the high and low today and see who is the boss(?) in the team.

Sensing Leona's hostile gaze, the little mermaid immediately became vigilant. She touched behind her secretly, and a golden three-pronged fork suddenly appeared in her hand. She held it diagonally in front of her chest, as if she was ready.

"Ga oh - ga oh -"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey-"
Chapter completed!
