Chapter 232 The Unlucky Child of the Tower of the Sun
"Huh? Is there really a corpse?"
Guided by the smell of blood, Hero found a suspected corpse in a corridor extending downwards ahead.
They weren't eaten by the spiders, but they weren't much better.
Circles of bright silver spider silk dropped them above the corridor, their heads drooped, and a large number of babies were parasitic on their bodies. It was basically confirmed that they had been used as carriers of spider eggs.
There are two bodies in total, one looks like a teenager and the other is a woman, whose face cannot be seen clearly.
Dense and abrupt black spots are spread all over the silver, absorbing physical nutrients through the gaps, and the spider legs that are swaying in the wind are like downy hair, and the sheer number of them makes people shudder.
Taking advantage of the stasis of time and the spiders unable to move, Hero hurried forward to check.
"Still alive, eyes bloodshot..." Hero put his face close to his, trying his best to observe the changes in their expressions through the gap.
Let's try it first to see if we can save it.
The characteristics of [Chaos] flickered in the eyes, and dark twisted little hands crawled out from the nothingness in the eyes. Helo controlled the spider larvae that climbed onto their bodies and analyzed the physiological conditions of the spider eggs and larvae.
"Hmm... Hallucination, blood coagulation, mouthparts and spider legs are pierced very deeply. Even though the exposed spider legs are floating like gossamer, the ones rooted in the flesh are very hard, which is the shape that occurs when it touches the blood.
Change? Racial identity?”
Without conditions, Hero could only test their characteristics through some physical means. When it comes to deeper souls, he still lacks tools and materials.
After trying to remove some of the parasitic spider eggs and larvae, it is obvious that the flesh and blood are slowly returning to normal color.
And there were no parasites left in the wound, no broken legs or mouthparts that were difficult to deal with.
Under the amplitude effect of the [Intimidating Nerve] module, [Chaos]'s will-distorting characteristic adds a powerful mental oppression ability.
It causes unimaginable damage to these guys who have no brains and whose souls are only the size of rice grains.
As long as the dark twisted little hand from the depths of the eyes gently touches the surface, the spider eggs and larvae fall off in pieces, and the people inside slowly wake up.
"Are you still conscious? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Soon, the male warlock was the first to react. He heard the comfort from nothingness. He tried to open his eyes, but found that there was no one in front of him. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
"Cough...cough, save me."
Hero's perception was always focused on him, and when he saw that there were no complications from contamination and depravity when he woke up, he cut off the spider threads with his hand.
Plop!
He emerged from his hallucination state.
But it did not untie the spider threads wrapped around his body.
"I'll ask you an answer. If you answer something wrong, you'll die. If you hear clearly, just blink your eyes."
The warlock turned his body over with difficulty, and what came into his eyes was Hero's cold eyes. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and coughed a few times because of choking, but he still blinked to show that he heard it.
"How many of you are there in total?"
"Three...no, five." The hoarse voice was full of regret.
"We shouldn't have cooperated with them in the first place. Those bastards from the Tower of Disaster asked us to take the rear, but... they let us die!"
"You said three first? How many people are there in the Calamity Tower?"
"Two! We received guidance from our mentor to explore here, there are three of us in total."
"But there are only two of you here? Where is one more person?" Holo directly cut off the spider thread that was hanging up the sorceress.
A pop made him see clearly that there was a companion beside him.
"There is another companion who should be taken away by them. According to their disgusting behavior, they will use my companion as bait!"
Hero continued to ask: "Which tower do you come from?"
"Tower of the Sun! We are from the Tower of the Sun. I know you are also here to fight for that thing. I promise you! Let us go. We will no longer participate in the fight. As long as we can get revenge, we will leave. Really!"
The warlock struggled to sit up, but the physical weakness was still not enough for him to hold on. After tumbling twice, he fell to the ground and gasped for air.
"Believe me, I swear by the faith of the tower, you know... our Sun Tower keeps its promise!" His eyes were full of anger, but it was a betrayal of his fellow travelers.
"Let's not talk about revenge. When you were at full strength, you were no match for me. How can you take revenge now that you are half disabled? Why don't you talk about their situation first? I might consider helping you."
[Tower of the Sun]...Hero is in a happy mood. The old opponents of the tower seem to have bad luck. Every time they meet, they are not so good, and they end badly. The last favorite of heaven has been purified. This time
The two guys were also made miserable.
I don’t know why they are naturally arrogant. Why are they so stupid?
Holo suddenly understood the thoughts of the group. If it were him, who was so arrogant and yelling during the cooperation, he would have to find an opportunity to bury them.
Seemingly because Hero didn't untie him, he felt a little unhappy and said perfunctorily:
"Two men, the doom formulas engraved on their bodies can already be seen as representatives. Inadvertently, they will be tricked, which will affect the decision-making of the soul, and even..."
"It will even cause your soul to attack yourself or your companions in confusion."
The old man's voice came from the black mist behind him.
"Why are you here?"
"Seeing that you haven't responded for too long, I thought you were killed, so I came to have a look. You are my partner, so I have to care about your safety."
The funny clay pot emerged from the black mist, followed by Misbein and others.
"Yo? There are two living creatures in this damn place?"
"They were ambushed by apprentices from Calamity Tower."
Hero changed the adjective. "Betrayal" doesn't sound good. After all, there are two Miths in his team who are unwilling to cooperate.
If they heard me, my vigilance would become even more serious.
"How to deal with these two people? From the Tower of the Sun."
"Oh? It's from the sun? Why doesn't it smell like the sun at all?"
"People are almost drained by spiders, how can they be so arrogant?"
The male apprentice was already conscious. He was lying on the ground and listening to Holo and the pot talking. It felt weird no matter how he listened.
Obviously what the two of them said was normal, but he always felt that something was wrong and it sounded uncomfortable.
Overtly and covertly, Hero explained his history clearly, and the old man also asked about the situation of these two people.
As for the fate of the two of them...
"Revenge? You can't do it even if you think so. Facing those brats in the Tower of Disaster, you might still be a burden." Although the old man has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run away, and he will be deflated in the face of the Tower of Disaster.
There are many documented cases of this.
"What about you? What do you think?"
"In this case... let them contribute something, and we will be responsible for avenging them. As for withdrawing and evacuating... forget it, it's up to you."
Byrne came forward with a teasing smile, his tone full of joking.
"So be it."
"Wait? What do you mean? We are all apprentices. You are not familiar with the road ahead. Let me go. I just need to complete my revenge and rescue my companions." The male apprentice was inexplicably frightened and began to struggle, even
He moved towards his female companion and tried to wake her up.
"Don't worry, just take a nap and you'll be fine."
"Hurry up, the spiders are waking up soon, and the stasis effect won't last long."
Mi Si didn't want to see them teasing others, nor did she want to get into a dispute, so she walked forward with Ha Zhi. There were still traces on the ground caused by the bursting of the elk's bubbles, and she needed to continue to follow them.
"Sorry, it looks like you're unlucky."
The old man also advised: "You go first and leave these two items to me. Young people can do anything they want, not lightly or not."
"Well, hurry up and catch up, don't let the old man get lost."
When everyone left, the old man squatted on the ground, and the gelatinous expression on the surface of the clay pot was particularly funny.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not killing you, I'm just asking you to quit. Of course, you need to be paid."
The old man groped around on them for a while, pulled away the spider silk and got the fake Horcrux in storage.
"Sure enough, the Tower of the Sun means wealth. You can get this thing during your apprenticeship."
Those guys in the Calamity Tower must have had no choice but to abandon them in the face of the spider swarm, and they didn't even take away their belongings.
"Hey, should you let me go?"
"What? This clay pot is just inconvenient. I can't hear you clearly. Why are you just opening your mouth?"
