There was a guard on the slope who drew his knife more and more slowly, as if he couldn't even lift his arm. Finally, he couldn't withstand the pulling of the webs of several spiders, and was pulled out of the crowd in one fell swoop.
His companions were unable to rescue him and watched helplessly as he fell down the slope and was instantly submerged by the huge tide of spiders.
The shrill scream didn't last long, but it seemed to echo endlessly in everyone's heart, making them panic.
He Lingchuan's heart moved. Tigers and wolves eat people by biting their vitals, but spiders bite people by biting each other. How did this patrolman die so quickly?
Judging from the way he was swaying, it didn't look like exhaustion, but more like poisoning.
There are indeed many species of spiders that are highly venomous.
The guide trembled: "Why are these burrowing spiders so crazy?"
The amount of information contained in this statement was quite large. Liu Tong asked him: "Do they usually live here?"
"Yes, yes." The guide's voice was like a gnat, completely drowned out by the movement on the slope. Only the two people standing closest could hear it. "We never interfere with each other."
"Is there any way to save people?" The people on the slope are in danger and cannot hold on for long.
Spiders from all directions came to join the fight after hearing the news, like flies smelling carrion. The door panel cursed in a low voice: "How many spiders are there in here!"
"They were originally afraid of fire." The guide only said a few words, his face getting paler.
Monsters that are usually afraid of fire are now coming one after another. What kind of demonic obstacle is this?
He Lingchuan thought of Dong Rui.
Can a beast master make it possible for a monster to attack without fear of death?
Liu Tiao watched intently and suddenly said: "I remember that spiders can't swim. Is it the same here?"
The guide was unsure: "I, I don't know, I've never seen a spider go into the water."
There is no shortage of water in Guizhen Stone Forest.
"How far is the nearest creek? It needs to be large-scale."
Sweat dripped from the guide's forehead and he pointed to the west, "There is a big pool there, very deep, about fifteen feet away. I used to take people there to get water and rest."
"Living water or dead water?"
"Live, live water!" the guide swallowed. "There are two streams upstream, heading north! It rained heavily just seven days ago, and the amount of water should be quite large now."
"It's over there." Liu Tong made a quick decision, "Find a way to get them over."
At this time, He Lingchuan missed the secret treasure Xiang Dangzi given to him by the bandit. This thing was so disgusting that it would run away from everyone. It would be great if he could bring it into the dreamland of the Coiling Dragon!
After all, they are a team that has been working together for a long time, and everyone assigned tasks in a few words.
The door panel held out his giant axe, took a deep breath, and said to He Lingchuan: "Okay."
He Lingchuan grinned at him, thrust his arms through his arms, grabbed the belt of the door panel, and threw him out!
He Lingchuan's strength was already great, but after the Emperor's fluids washed his marrow, He Lingchuan got a boost, and he forcefully threw Menpan, a strong man weighing more than 170 kilograms, three feet away!
The door panel exhaled in mid-air and said: "Ride over here, there is a way to survive here!"
Suddenly there was a big living person in the field. The spiders' offensive stalled, and they immediately separated some of them and turned to attack.
He Lingchuan's throwing technique, which he had practiced hard for more than two months, paid off. When the door panel fell, there was a large protruding rock under his feet.
He used the force of the rock to turn around and take off again!
Even if he is not as flexible as the thin man and is holding a heavy weapon, he can still jump more than ten feet.
That's very close to the trapped team.
This team had just lost one more person and was seriously injured. They were filled with despair. When they suddenly heard the word "survival", they were overjoyed.
The hoarse sound of smoke on the door panel was more beautiful to them at the moment than the lingering sounds of famous actors in the theatre.
He raised the giant ax high, and when it landed, the giant ax hit the ground first - with the back of the ax facing down.
There was a "buzz" sound with an endless bass sound, like an iron hitting a tuning fork.
The legs and feet of the spider army within a radius of three feet suddenly stopped, and some even formed circles on the spot, as if they were drunk.
"Come here quickly!" the door panel urged.
This wave of bass shock also made the horses on the slope shake their heads, and one of them knelt down on the spot. Everyone ignored it, and they jumped on the backs of other horses and ran wildly behind the door panel.
When they were about to pass him by, the door panel hit the ground twice with the axe, knocking out another wave of little monsters.
It takes a lot of energy to use such a combat technique, and Men's face turns red from holding it in. The bass attack is three-axe attack, and it will take a long time to recover after hitting them all.
Willow also rushed over on horseback and threw out several flaming bottles. Blue-white smoke burst out from the bottles, and the spider that rushed up was shrunk by the smoke, turned over on its belly, and its eight legs trembled toward the sky.
The team just got rid of the bee demon a few days ago, and the poisonous smoke is particularly effective against insects.
Taking advantage of this gap, Door Panel rushed to Willow's side and jumped on the horse's back. The horse neighed and galloped.
The spiders were even more enraged and chased after him.
Not only are there these followers behind the horses' hooves, but spiders are also falling from the treetops, landing on people or on the backs of horses, and they bite them when they open their mouths.
Just cleaning these is a mess.
Fortunately, the guide was qualified, and there was indeed a deep pool more than ten feet away. Everyone jumped into the pool with their horses, splashing with water.
Sure enough, the spiders stopped at the water's edge and hissed at everyone. Some of them seemed to be overwhelmed by anger and even tried to enter the water, but were immediately swept away by the current.
The other spider demons were surrounding the shore in a sea of darkness, but they couldn't do anything to the humans.
As soon as everyone calmed down from the shock, they let out a long sigh.
Menpan jumped into the water, held the horse's head and kept comforting it: "I remember that spiders can swim in the water. God knows, but these can't!"
Willow said with a straight face: "The spiders you have seen can swim in water just because they are small! Look at how big these are."
Most spiders cannot swim because their weight is too small and they can move by relying on the tension of the water surface. If it were replaced with soapy water, they would sink immediately. These spider monsters in front of you are as big as cats, how can you expect tension?
The guide shouted at the spider demons and asked roughly why they attacked humans.
Most of the spiders all over the mountains and plains here are ordinary burrowing spiders. Only the particularly large ones have become monsters and stay behind the spiders. But these things don't seem to have high IQs. They only hiss and threaten him with their mouths open, as if
Don't want to communicate.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Put out the torch." He Lingchuan suggested, "I don't think the light of the fire will scare away the spiders, but will only attract more hatred."
Liu Tong did not adopt it, but said to the guide: "Go north and get rid of them!"
Thanks to the rain in the past few days, there is now enough water vapor in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, and the stream has deepened and widened. As long as people and horses keep a distance from the shore, spiders do not pose a threat. Occasionally, a few strands of spider silk come over, which is easy to deal with.
The guide stepped into the water with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and wanted to explain to everyone: "These burrowing spiders eat everything, from small birds to large wild boars and bears, but they just ignore people. I have been to Guizhen Stone Forest for seventeen and eighty years." Well, this is the first time I’ve seen them attack humans!”
"Why don't they usually eat people?"
"I heard that they are restricted by the local mountains and swamps and are not allowed to prey on humans, as long as humans don't cause trouble for them." The guide sighed, "There are too many burrowing spiders in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest. They are kings and hegemons here, and they will all swarm when they encounter a prick. Who dares to cause trouble for them?"
"The Baling people." Liu Tong said in a deep voice, "No wonder they don't go into the stone forest. It turns out that they have already pissed off the burrowing spiders, and they are just waiting for us to fall into our trap."
At this moment, the rescued people also came up to express their thanks.
They were from another team, but they were scattered by the swarm of spiders that appeared in the middle of the journey. There were originally more than thirty people, a dozen horses, and three trucks, but now there were only these people left, and even the captain had died.
The threat of being buried in the spider's mouth was over, and the businessman fell into the water with a splash. His companions helped him up and saw that he was unconscious, his cheeks were swollen, and his eyebrows were green.
Another patrolman also had a wound on his neck, but he only suffered from dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath.
"poisoned."
The spider will inject toxins into its prey, causing it to become incapacitated or even comatose, and at the same time dissolve the body for the spider to absorb. These things are promoted to monsters, and the toxins are obviously enhanced, but Panlong City soldiers will carry emergency medicine with them when they go into battle, and most of them contain detoxification. Pills, then quickly feed the injured person the medicine.
The troops in Panlong City were protected by vitality, and their resistance to toxins was much stronger than ordinary people. The patrols and merchants were all bitten by spiders, and their injuries were obvious.
After taking the medicine, the businessman was still unconscious, but the edema on his body slowly subsided, and everyone had to tie him to his horse. The patrolman improved after dozens of breaths, and the pus and blood squeezed out of the wound changed from green to red, and he felt dizzy. It has disappeared, although it is still a bit unsteady when walking.
This was a dark, thin man who seemed to be speechless. He only announced his name as Sun Jiayuan.
Another rescued businessman pointed at Sun Jiayuan and cursed: "What road did you lead! Don't you boast that you know everything about the Ghost Needle Stone Forest? Why don't you even know that spiders are afraid of water? You only know how to climb hills and follow those monsters." Damn it! So many of our lives were wasted and the goods were lost."
Sun Jiayuan's Adam's apple twitched and he endured it.
The businessman continued to curse.
He Lingchuan saw that Sun Jiayuan's hand had touched the handle of the knife, and his face turned red.
This is not a good temper either.
"Hey!" Liu Tiao couldn't stand it anymore, "If it weren't for the guards fighting to protect you, you would have turned into a puddle of pus and been sucked into the belly by the spider."
At this time, a ball of blue fireworks exploded in the northwest night sky, causing the spiders on the shore to look back.
Everyone also saw it, but they were unmoved.
A few dozen breaths later, two red fireworks rose into the sky from the northeast.
After a while, two white fireworks also lit up in the east.
Liu Tong then said: "The signal has come, and the large forces will gather in the northeast." He asked the guide, "Is there an exit in the northeast of the stone forest? Can we reach it by following the river?"
At the swearing-in meeting before departure, General Nanke issued a temporary order. The large army gathering in the field was signaled by a red fire rising into the sky, and anyone who saw it should rush there immediately.
Other signals are meant to confuse the enemy.
Now two groups of red flames are rising into the sky, giving at least two reminders to the patrols including He Lingchuan:
First of all, the inexplicably rampaging crypt spiders really caused a lot of trouble for the entire army. Many small teams were separated due to the collision of the spider swarms. The main team then sent a message to everyone to assemble.
