Because of doubts about the jade statue and the motives of the dwarf wizards, Xue Hua decided to personally go to the cave deep in the Spider Forest to see what these guys were doing.
If there was a chance, he wouldn't mind "borrowing" the jade statue to play with, so that the new phase technician Keles, who had joined his research team, could see what the statue was used for.
Xue Hua quickly arrived at an insect nest base at the edge of the Spider Forest with the help of a section of insect tunnel. He released some insect swarm units in the base, and then under the guidance and protection of the monitoring king insect and the shadow insects hidden around it. Easily avoid the demon patrols and monster sentries here.
The reason why Spider Forest is called Spider Forest is because this ghost place seems to be particularly favored by spiders.
At least 60% of the spiders in the entire rain forest are gathered here. From ordinary animal spiders to monster spider demons, as long as they are spiders, you can definitely find them here.
The most striking feature of the Spider Forest from the outside is a large forest of trees and a jungle covered with spider webs. If you are walking in the jungle in the western part of the rain forest and suddenly bump into a spider web as tall as a person, Congratulations, you have entered the Spider Forest territory.
Don't ask Xue Hua how he knew this experience. He is currently tearing away the spider webs stuck to his head with a gloomy look on his face!
"Damn! Damn! This damn ghost place! It's stuffy, hot, and full of bugs! Forget it, what's with the spider webs flying all over the sky? Is this a spider's house? Why? So many spiders!”
Xue Hua waved his staff angrily. He just rode the cockroach and crashed into a huge spider web. Then a spider as big as a millstone crawled out of the tree, its eyes glowing green. Spider Web wanted to come over and make him his own luxurious lunch.
Of course, the final outcome of this unlucky spider is self-evident, but what surprised Xue Hua was that this thing, which was no less terrifying than the Sinking Demon, was not a monster at all!
Oh my God! This thing can almost carry a person and run away. Are you telling me that it is a native species of the rainforest?
What mistake did this rainforest make? Does it deserve to be cursed like this by the gods?
A spider as big as a millstone is not a monster, so how big is a monster spider?
Waiting for others?
Okay, pretty much the same!
When Xue Hua broke through the edge of the spider forest and found a whole nest of giant wolf spiders covered with long hairs that were "taller" than humans, he felt that he was about to suffer from arachnophobia. ...
These damn things are really taller than people!
If we were to judge by size, every tarantula in front of him was almost as big as an SUV. These things that made people feel numb just looking at them were covered with weird gray patterns and huge green fangs. A little bit of venom dripped.
"Nah! Get rid of these damn things quickly!"
Surrounded by these guys, Xue Hua felt goose bumps all over his body. He immediately summoned a group of springtails and cockroaches and asked them to quickly kill all these creepy things.
These spider monsters don't seem to be able to build webs, but they can hang themselves out of danger through a silk thread connected to the tree through the abdomen and tail.
This method is very flexible, but it is useless against the insect swarm.
The springtails' quick speed and destructive bite can easily tear apart the spiders before they can hoist themselves up the treetops, and the cockroaches' jumping skills are the nemesis of these guys - they can hunt them down.
Guys who have hung themselves from the treetops.
But in frontal combat, these things that look extremely scary and can completely scare a child from crying are no match for springtails and cockroaches.
Their main means of fighting seems to be the venom on their teeth, but the thing that insect swarm units are least afraid of is venom.
The fangs of wolf spiders are completely useless against springtails and cockroaches. Once they lose this killer weapon, these ferocious predators immediately become prey, and are easily wiped out by the cooperation of springtails and cockroaches.
Two pure.
After killing this small group of wolf spider monsters, Xue Hua paused for a moment and used the Supervisory King Insect to investigate the distribution of monsters ahead.
Although he is not afraid of these big spiders, Xue Hua never wants to repeat the unpleasant experience before. What's more, quite a few of these spider monsters are basically the projection sentries of the demon army, specially set up to catch those who fell in Kurast.
A professional who escaped from danger when he went out for adventure.
Many professionals who don't know the truth have fallen into this trap, and Xue Hua doesn't want to expose his whereabouts even though he knows it's a trap.
He continued to move deeper into the spider along the route marked by the Overwatch King Insect. This time, he did not bump into any monster's lair along the way, but this forest still left a very bad impression on Xue Hua.
When he finally squeezed out from a large area of tropical plants, his whole body was covered with all kinds of dense spider webs like balls of wool, and there were even many spiders crawling around in the gaps in his clothes and even in his hair.
.....
"...I am really trying my best to resist the urge to summon a few heavy artillery governors to burn the entire place... I hope the jade statue in the cave is worth my trip, otherwise I will treat it as an arsonist
Crazy devil...hehehehe~"
Xue Hua stretched out his gloved hand, grabbed a fist-sized spider that crawled above his head, crushed it to death and threw it far away, giving it a zombie blast.
The torn spider corpse finally made Xue Hua's mental collapse a little better (Spider: MMP!). He cleaned up the cobwebs on his body a little, then lurked next to the cave under the protection of a shadow insect, and pulled out the spider to stick to it.
The silk leaves look out.
In front of him was a relatively wide clearing in the forest. In the center of the clearing was a cave entrance half buried underground. More than a dozen goat-horned demon clones holding large axes surrounded the center of the clearing. There were dwarf wizards constantly coming in and out of the cave entrance.
In and out.
They seem to be preparing something. Occasionally, a goat-horned demon will bring some bloody packages from the jungle on the other side and hand them over to these dwarf wizards. These dwarf wizards will transport these packages one by one.
Enter the underground cave.
"What are they doing?"
Xue Hua controlled the mimic hatchling disguised as one of the dwarf wizards in the main hive mind, letting it try to see if it could steal a package or open it before it was thrown into the huge crypts in the cave.
Look what's inside.
The huge crypt is behind the stone platform with the jade statue. All dwarf wizards who get the blood-oozing package will eventually throw the package directly into the dark crypt.
However, it is a pity that those dwarf wizards kept a close eye on these bloody packages and did not give the mimic hatchlings any chance to do mischief.
This made Xue Hua feel a little depressed, and at the same time, he also wanted to know what these guys were doing.
