Chapter 20 Getting in is easy and getting out is hard
Not a single creature was seen around, so there were no accidents during the process of taking the artifact.
Li Xiao successfully placed the artifact in the inventory.
The base holding the artifact did not disappear. After taking away the artifact, a row of small words appeared on the base:
There are still: 31 days until refresh.
It seems that if you want to get this artifact again, you have to wait for a month...
Returning to the shore again, Li Xiao was going to rest here for a while and think about how to escape from this dangerous cave and return to the ground.
It has been almost five or six hours since I recently entered the cave. Calculating the time, it should be already in the afternoon. If you walk quickly, you should be able to return to the surface before night.
The most important question now is how to break through the dense swarm of spiders and giant scorpions.
Especially the spider that can spin spider silk, it is the biggest obstacle to Li Xiao. Once he is stuck by the spider silk, his end will be extremely tragic...
How to deal with spider silk has become Li Xiao's key issue now!
Opening the inventory, Li Xiao scanned...
"Yes!"
A clever idea popped into his head again.
There are many spears in the inventory. You can use these spears to create a bunker that can follow you!
Just as he was told, Li Xiao was in the open space on the shore, and in a short while, he used spears and fibers to tie a tic-shaped wooden frame.
Then two spears were tied to the bottom of the wooden frame, and the tic-tac-toe wooden frame, which was half a man tall, stood firmly on the ground.
As long as he hides his body behind him, the spider webs flying from the front will be blocked by the wooden frame and cannot get close to Li Xiao.
However, this wooden frame can only block the cobwebs from the front, and there is nothing that can be done about those coming from other directions.
Do you want to make another one?
But the problem is that this wooden frame is enough to drag me down. If I bring another one, I may have difficulty moving forward.
The only way is to move forward step by step, steadily, and try to ensure that every spider is in front of itself, that you, the wooden frame, and the spiders are in a line...
A bow and a set of one hundred arrows - these are the main weapons of his output.
After getting ready, Li Xiao walked towards the passage...
——
A corner of the passage.
Li Xiao carefully poked his head out and saw two big spiders dormant on the top of the passage behind the corner...
He lifted the wooden frame behind him and swung it around the corner, half-crouching behind it.
Bending the bow, shooting arrows, the arrows whizzed by...
A spider on the top of the passage was immediately shot down. It made a few piercing screams, fell from the high ceiling, struggled with its belly upwards for a few times, and then lost its voice.
The one next to him immediately spotted Li Xiao, and its eight slender limbs flew over the stone wall, heading straight for Li Xiao!
While running towards it, it spit out spider silk like a fishing net from its mouth!
"call out--"
An arrow passed by the flying spider web and accurately pierced the spider's dense eyes!
The cracked compound eye splashed out some black liquid...
The same scream came out again, and the spider fell in front of Li Xiao without losing momentum.
It was rolling in pain, and its eight thin legs kept kicking randomly... its vitality was quite tenacious.
Li Xiao took out his spear and stabbed it, killing it completely!
The spider's furry body was right in front of Li Xiao, and he quickly turned his head aside——
It's so scary and disgusting!
At this moment, the wooden frame was covered with a layer of web spewed by the spider. Li Xiao didn't get rid of it, he just lifted the wooden frame and walked towards the next corner...
After a few more spider webs were added to the wooden frame, Li Xiao came to the underground river where the treasure box was taken.
Looking at the spiders not far away, Li Xiao showed a sinister smile.
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
"It's a pity, what I believe in is - today's things will be done today!"
The bow and arrow in his hand stretched into a full moon, and he shot at the spiders that had tied themselves into rice dumplings not long ago!
These spiders also discovered him at the same time, and swarmed towards Li Xiao!
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet...
Different from the few sporadic spiders that were killed just now, there are quite a few spiders beside the underground river, apparently as many as seven or eight.
The silk they spit out together is overwhelming, making it impossible to avoid it!
Li Xiao didn't panic, he dragged the wooden frame and quickly retreated to the passage he came out of just now!
The passage here is only about two meters wide. If the wooden frame is placed here, the only entrance and exit can only be the unobstructed top area of the wooden frame.
However, the space exposed by the top of the passage and the wooden frame is also limited, and only one spider can enter or exit the huge body at the same time.
Li Xiao raised his bow and aimed at the top of the wooden frame.
Within a moment, a spider poked its head in from the ceiling!
As soon as Li Xiao loosened his fingers, the arrow flew towards it!
"Pfft!"
The sound of the arrow piercing the flesh was heard, and the spider fell from the top at the same time.
Ignoring the struggling spider on the ground, Li Xiao drew his bow again, still aiming at the top of the wooden frame...
Another spider showed its body. Li Xiao fired an arrow and shot the spider down again!
One by one they got in...one by one they were shot...
The group of spiders beside the underground river were defeated one by one by Li Xiao in a clever way!
There were no more spiders crawling in above the wooden frame. Li Xiao understood that all the spiders around the underground river were in front of him.
At this moment, on the ground in front of Li Xiao, seven or eight huge spiders were stacked together to form a hill.
Some spiders have made no sound, but a few are still moving.
Sighing once again for the vitality of these creatures, Li Xiao held the spear.
He stepped forward and stabbed the spiders that were still moving one by one!
"Let you tie me up again!"
It seems that Li Xiao is still a little bit worried about what happened before...
The corpses of spiders blocked the passage, and Li Xiao had no choice but to move these corpses away one by one.
Li Xiao was extremely reluctant to come into contact with these huge and infiltrating spider corpses, but who asked him to set up a defense line in this narrow passage——
"You have to bear the sins you have done yourself!"
Resisting the discomfort in his heart, Li Xiao grabbed a spider's leg and dragged it aside.
His mind was racing with random thoughts, trying his best to distract himself.
"This is me too. It would be interesting to think about a girl who is afraid of bugs..." This is what Li Xiao thought.
"Did she faint directly? Or did she faint again after screaming?"
[Chitin x50] [Raw Meat x20]...
It was really troublesome to move them, so Li Xiao simply put these corpses into the inventory and broke them down into basic materials.
This chitin is the main material for making carapace suits. Collect more now and you won’t have to collect it everywhere in the future.
…
Li Xiao kept walking, holding the wooden frame with one hand, and smoothly retracting the arrow from the spider's corpse with the other hand.
Finally, we are about to reach the huge space we saw at the beginning!
Li Xiao's expression was serious, and he held the bow tightly.
Li Xiao discovered something that made him regret very much:
After spending all the time, more than a dozen arrows were damaged, and more than eighty arrows were left.
But don't forget, when Li Xiao first came in, he saw hundreds of spiders and many clawed bats in the space in front!
This small amount of arrows can only kill less than half of the spiders with one arrow, which is not enough at all!
If he had known this, he would have brought enough arrows for him to squander!
Learn like the nouveau riche, shoot one, throw one...
But now it was too late to regret it. He had to think of ways to save arrows, otherwise once they were used up, he would have no choice but to take out his spear and fight in close combat, falling into a passive position.
Li Xiao stuck his head out from the corner and observed the creatures in the space.
Spiders are the most numerous, about one hundred and fifty!
There are also many clawed bats hanging on the ceiling, and there are quite a few of them, nearly forty!
There are nearly two hundred dangerous cave creatures in total!
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Although these creatures have limited strength individually, once they form a group, they will undergo earth-shaking changes!
Want to force your way through?! Difficult!
The only way Li Xiao could think of was to use the wooden frame in his hand to set up obstacles at the entrance of the passage as he had just done, leaving only a small passage space.
Then hide behind and destroy the invading creatures one by one!
At this moment, the wooden frame has been covered by the webs spun by several spiders, completely forming a web wall, and its solidity has been greatly improved.
After everything was properly arranged, Li Xiao stuck his head out from behind the network wall and shouted:
"Hello everyone! I am Zha Zhahui. I am waiting for you here. If you are a brother, come and kill me!!"
His sudden voice startled all the creatures in the cave!
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the creatures discovered Li Xiao, and then they all rushed towards him.
In the cave, the sound of rustling came like a wave!
Li Xiao quickly stepped back, drew his bow and aimed at the gap in the network wall in front of him...
One second...
Two seconds...
The noisy sounds outside gradually approached, and a little cold sweat broke out on Li Xiao's forehead...
Three seconds...
Four seconds...
At the fifth second, a spider appeared! Then came the second one, and the third one...
As for Li Xiao, the bow in his hand was shooting arrow after arrow!
These spiders that got in one after another fell down one by one screaming in agony before they could see the scene behind the web wall clearly!
Gradually, the ground behind the web wall was covered with spider corpses...
Li Xiao could only retreat while changing his shot.
His arms gradually became weak and sore, but he didn't dare to stop, he couldn't stop!
More and more spiders came in, and Li Xiao's arrows gradually came to an end...
When he used his mind to take out the arrow from the inventory again, no arrow appeared in his hand!
No more arrows!
Many spiders rushed in at the entrance. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards Li Xiao!
Li Xiao made a decisive decision and rushed towards the pile of corpses instead of retreating!
Passing by the corpse of a spider, he pulled out the arrow from the corpse and put it on his bow...
The spiders at the front died one by one, revealing a larger army of spiders behind!
Finally, Li Xiao and Spider Torrent met!
Leaping down from the top of the passage, this spider went straight to Li Xiao's head!
At the critical moment, Li Xiao fell backward and dodged its attack with a sliding step.
While gliding, he picked up an arrow again, nocked the bow, turned around, and took aim——
The arrow flew towards the spider that passed by Li Xiao and was still in the air!
When the spider landed, its breathless body stirred up layers of soil...
"Crack!"
The bow in his hand made an overwhelming sound of wood cracking, which also announced the end of its life!
Li Xiao looked at the spiders surrounding him, smiled bitterly, threw aside the scrapped bow in his hand, and took out the spear!
"Watch me, Li Zilong, kill every one of you beasts!"
He swung his spear and stood proudly, somewhat like General Zhao...
It's a pity that the spider is not worthy of peace. Before he can be cool and say a few cruel words, the spiders around him rush forward!
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiao's figure was drowned by spiders...
A few seconds later, a spear suddenly stabbed out from among these spiders and penetrated the belly of a spider that was pressing on Li Xiao.
A strangely colored and unpleasant-smelling liquid-solid mixture flowed out of the tattered spider's belly...
The next moment, Li Xiao's figure squeezed out from the pile of spiders!
He turned around and kept thrusting out the spear in his hand, harvesting the lives of each spider!
When the last spider that rushed in was killed by Li Xiao's spear, his standing body suddenly fell to his knees.
The numbness in his body continued to increase, and Li Xiao quickly took out several stimulants from the inventory and stuffed them into his mouth.
Take a closer look at his body. Under the tattered animal skin clothes stained with unknown liquid, there are many wounds, large and small!
Even one of his ears was bitten in half by the spider's sharp mouthparts!
There was only one eye left on his face, and the other side was a bloody hole!
In this cavity, black-red blood is still flowing...
Kneeling on the ground, in his intact eye, the crazy blood color gradually replaced the white of his eye!
"Damn! I took too many stimulants!!"
Li Xiao felt a surge of strength coming out of his body, quickly filling his empty muscles...
His body was full immediately, but the power still kept pouring out, making him feel like he was about to burst!
He desperately needs to vent!
Just at this time, the net wall standing in the passage suddenly collapsed, revealing the clawed bats and the still large number of spiders behind!
"Well done!" Li Xiao roared, grabbed the spear and rushed forward...
…
The sky was gradually getting darker, but now it was raining lightly.
At the entrance of the cave, the Velociraptor is lying down and resting.
Li Xiao's order before entering the cave was for it to stay here and not move around, so it has been guarding here dutifully.
Suddenly, its nose twitched and its eyes turned to the entrance of the cave!
After a few breaths, a bloody palm stretched out from the hole, and a few seconds later, Li Xiao crawled out of the hole with scars on his face!
Seeing that it was Li Xiao, the velociraptor hurried forward and saw that he was so seriously injured. It gently arched Li Xiao with its head and let out a sad whimper.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead!" Although Li Xiao couldn't stand up anymore, he didn't speak like a seriously injured person at all, and his voice was full of energy as he taught the raptor a lesson.
The rain washed away the blood on Li Xiao's body. With a thought, a leather sleeping bag was placed beside him.
Stretching out his hand, he touched the raptor's head and said to the raptor:
"Don't run around here. We will go home after I am resurrected tomorrow. If you are hungry, go around and find some food for yourself."
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao continued: "If you really can't find food, just eat my corpse, but be careful not to swallow the implant in my arm. I still want the contents inside."
He looked at the Velociraptor with his intact eye and said again: "Remember not to run around! Once you encounter the Therizinosaurus, you will be in trouble. I can't even save you."
After saying these words, Li Xiao lay down on his back and let the rain fall on his face.
"Damn, the stamina of this stimulant is so strong! You're almost dead and you're still so energetic!"
He muttered and closed his eyes...
[The player "Li Xiao" has died, the resurrection mark point is found, the fixed-point resurrection begins, countdown: 23:59:59]
