"Why is there still a burst of soul energy fluctuations? Old man, didn't you execute them just now?"
"No, how could they do it if they're already paid? Even if they are old rivals, they wouldn't be so cruel."
As if he just thought of a possibility, Byrne wrinkled his eyes and asked:
"You shouldn't have untied their cobwebs, right?"
"Oh, it seems true when you say that, people just don't have long memories when they get old."
Holo felt a chill in his heart. Hearing the strange sound of spider legs crawling behind him, he began to mourn in his heart.
"If you don't even leave a piece of equipment for me, how can I escape? You're so vicious!"
"Hey, old man, I take it as a compliment. A kind heart cannot survive in a high tower. This is yours."
In order to respond to the old man's request, Hero fell at the end and took the flea skin bag thrown by the old man.
"These two guys can be considered elites, but they are not as good as you and that girl. The things they collected have been packed up and shared. You have one share for Bain, and the rest that you don't need will be sold when I return to the tower.
If you divide it further, of course I will charge you an extra share of the hard-earned money."
Hero nodded. Since he took the initiative to say that he would receive an extra portion of the hard-earned money, it was impossible to lie.
The low-rise market has been operating for many years, and it still has this reputation.
As time went by, more and more spiders were moving behind me, and they began to rush toward me restlessly.
Mis suddenly stopped and said, "My soul skill disappeared not far ahead."
"What's the reason?" Hero needed to know the situation and make plans in advance.
"The interval is too long and cannot be maintained."
"So we're surrounded again?"
"No, it seems that we have reached the end. Since the distance is not far and there is no movement in front, we are probably out of the spider group's sphere of influence. We are going to the lower level, which may be the real interior of the necropolis."
Sure enough, not far ahead, the scene was different.
This place is like a semi-enclosed nest, much wider than the previous tunnel. Sharp spider legs, bright silver spider silk, and strong carapace are all over the place.
It glows brightly under the lighting.
The most eye-catching thing is a bloated figure lying in the middle of the corridor.
If you get closer, you can see the stinking thick juice flowing out of his body. The thick juice escapes and seeps into the remains of the lair. He is like a splicing monster. His upper body has completely lost his human shape, and the swelling has caused all parts to be cracked.
Come.
Hard spider legs emerged from the cracked flesh, and his face was extremely ugly due to the accumulation of special toxins. Because of this, he blended perfectly with the environment, and the aura between the two fit perfectly.
There are a large number of compound eyes rolling between the polyps and pustules on the face, and spider egg larvae are constantly being bred in the mouth. From time to time, mature larvae crawl out of it, but the number is not large.
The lower body may not have fully mutated due to time, and is limp and limp on the ground.
From time to time it trembles and erupts waves of soul energy that seem to be there or not.
"Apprentice? Did you end up so miserable?"
"It should be the only companion left in the Tower of the Sun. He seems to have become the mother body of the spider swarm...a mobile incubation and cultivation vessel."
"This is where the soul magic dissipates."
"So the reason why he is immobile now is because he is restricted by soul magic?"
Everyone didn't get a definite answer, and some didn't dare to get close, for fear that this terrible freak would suddenly appear.
"His companions have already evacuated. Let him escape too. We still have to keep up with the people in front."
A few people didn't find this monster difficult to deal with. The spider itself was not very strong, and even if it was a parasitic mutation, it wouldn't be much stronger, let alone a motionless living target.
"Who's going to take action?" Holo looked at Mis and Hajie.
Even though they are outsiders in the team, they still respect each other.
"Don't look at me, just come."
"Then I'll come." Seeing his refusal, Hero raised the [Takiri-shaped spear].
A full moon lit up at the tip of the spear.
Combined with the combined moon energy and [Burn Focus], the spear has its own fire damage.
Poof!
The spear easily penetrated the body of the breeding vessel.
A surging heat exploded from the core, and the burning effect of the flames was astonishing.
Just like a flammable object that has been doused with gasoline, just a little spark can ignite a flame that reaches the sky.
The aroma of roasted protein wafts out,
"Will this smell attract the spiders behind you? Come on, old man, get some wood."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cage made of thin wooden strips sealed the inside.
Hero's eyes flickered, and the appearance of the cage quickly petrified, forming a semi-enclosed oven.
"The things on his body haven't been searched yet?"
"It is estimated that there are none. The Calamity Tower is a partnership between two people, and there is only one apprentice left in the Sun Tower. Do you think they will let him retain the resources?
In other words, I would have looted them all, knocked them unconscious and left them here to attract attention, so that I could slip through the opening."
When the numbing sound of adhesion behind him became more and more numerous, Hero canceled the petrification, and the wooden bars collapsed, leaving only the twisted human spider on the ground that had been roasted into charcoal.
"move."
Smelling the aroma of burnt meat, everyone quickly stepped over and directly entered the corridor on the next level.
But even the old man with the keenest sense didn't notice that after they left, a thin white and pink hand stretched out from the piled scorch.
…
"It's really sad. These black mist creatures are obviously most afraid of flames, but the [Tower of the Sun], which is a strong point in this area, was completely wiped out. Tsk tsk..."
"What's so surprising? Those guys only like to push forward and push forward. Burning everything and purifying everything under the sun is their usual method.
This place is weird, with an endless supply of black mist, and even a few of us haven’t discovered its secrets. What’s the use of the methods of their apprentices?”
Byrne scoffed.
The experts in this field [Moon Tower] have nothing to do in the face of the black mist. How can they, the silly big souls who only know how to summon souls, hold on?
"It just feels abnormal."
"But fortunately, the spider swarm behind us no longer follows."
"This place is out of the range of the ethnic group...but we have to be more careful so that they can resist instinctively. There should be more terrifying places down there."
"That makes sense."
Although the road under their feet is flat, everyone can feel that they are sinking.
This sinking is not a sinking of the body, but of consciousness.
Their own souls inadvertently conform to the rules here, making them feel that they are walking downwards. Only when they reach a node will an obvious sinking channel appear.
And before they had gone far, they encountered a fork.
"Have you noticed that it's strange here? The underground... underground palaces usually branch at the middle level to prevent intruders from taking the wrong passage, but why are the branches here reversed?"
Indeed, when Hero observed the bifurcation, he found that there was only one tunnel leading to the depths.
It's like telling you that you must go from here.
The other one was in the same direction as they came from, but the angle was slightly different.
"Luo, do you still remember the phantom recorded in the book?"
"Remember, that human-like figure."
"But its upper body..."
Hero suddenly exclaimed: "The upper body split like branches!"
"what are you guys saying?"
"We always thought that these tunnels were activated, like intestines, but now thinking about it, we couldn't be in the branches of that monster, right?"
