After Arno left, some trivial thoughts popped up in Raymond's mind from time to time, and he couldn't help but wonder who the so-called "big shot" sent by the World Headquarters could be.
He vaguely felt that this "hot guy" came to join in the fun at this time, and his purpose might not be simple.
Nowadays, the situation in the Kingdom of Giants seems to have been settled. The chief of the "Burning Thorn Tribe", Ke Long, seems to be firmly on the throne. However, in fact, there are also undercurrents surging within the major tribes of the Giants.
It was too strange that "King of Giants" Uli was injured before, and the "Monster" from a million miles away came to Garfatron inexplicably. This thing was always weird.
The former giant king Uli was a man of great talent, otherwise he would not have been able to convince all the five giant tribes. If he did not leave any backup plan, he would just watch the giant tribe fall into the World Headquarters step by step. His control obviously doesn't fit his personality either.
This country of giants may be in big trouble.
However, after all, it is a game between major forces, and little pirates like Raymond can't get involved for the time being.
He thought for a while to no avail, but didn't think about it further.
.......
After the "Ghost Group" repaired in the "Black Mopan Town" for several hours, all members continued their adventurous exploration journey, heading deeper into the mine.
In the game, "Bloody Monastery" is one of the most dangerous maps on the first level of the dungeon.
If Raymond remembered correctly, the "Bronze Key" was buried in the ashes of the fireplace in the main hall of the monastery. If he wanted to get that thing, he had to go deep into the small city.
And coincidentally, that place is also a large monster lair, and there is a level 7 gold BOSS "Spider Queen" entrenched in the monastery.
This monastery map was once a nightmare for pioneers. All kinds of poisonous spiders could clearly control intruders. Human adventurers were no different from flies in the eyes of those giant calf-like spiders.
In fact, it is indeed the case, just like the scene before me.
As the "ghost group" walked, they gradually discovered that some huge white spider webs appeared on the rock walls around the mine.
Sudden,
Thor saw a human-shaped object hanging like a fruit in the spider web high above.
"captain..."
He pointed at the thing and asked: "Why do I feel that the thing wrapped in the spider web looks a bit like a person?"
"Yeah...you read that right, that is indeed a person."
Raymond looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing the corpse, he murmured something again, "It seems that someone came one step ahead of us."
Now the news about this underground city has spread. Thousands of "robbery holes" have been drilled outside the city of Jaffatron. Someone got there first, which didn't surprise him much. He even saw this corpse. As expected.
This "Bloody Monastery" is the territory of the Ghost-Faced Spider. Without knowing the habits of these monsters, anyone who breaks in rashly is just a food reserve for these big spiders.
"This is...the adventurer who arrived before us?"
Hearing Raymond say this, everyone had a strange expression on their faces.
It's okay if you don't look at it. If you look carefully, you can see that there are quite a few corpses hanging deep in the spider webs.
Although it is very normal for people to die underground in this dangerous situation, there are some "fruit"-like things hanging above the head, which always makes people have a sinister feeling behind them.
"This should be the nest of the 'Ghost-Faced Spider'. They will hang and store their prey for dozens of kilometers around in the nest. There will definitely be more inside."
Raymond said, pulling off a piece of spider web from the cliff, holding it in his hand and squeezing it.
The two to three millimeter thick spider webs are very light to hold, extremely sticky, and full of toughness, like pinching melted maltose in one hand. The spider webs are very elastic and can be stretched very long. It is very difficult to break them. And once you let go, the spider webs are very elastic.
Pinch it and it all sticks together again...
After trying to shake it off, Raymond could only rub the cobwebs off the wall, and sighed in his heart: "Tsk tsk... they are exactly the same. This cobweb is still so disgusting."
This is also the most deadly point of this monster lair.
In the game, players are not afraid of too many monsters.
No matter how many monsters there are, there is no way they can be an opponent that can resurrect the player. Moreover, the BOSS of this Spider Lair is only level 7 gold, so if you really want to push it, it will not be difficult to obtain the Human Sea Certificate.
But the reason why this monastery is one of the most difficult monsters to defeat on the first floor of the dungeon is that it is difficult to deal with the sticky spider webs.
A spider sprays webs at you, which is easy to avoid. But hundreds of spiders spray at you at the same time, and the overwhelming cobwebs can "control to death" a person in minutes, and it is still a range control.
When it is sprayed on the body, it is immediately pulled up like a net bag, and it sticks to the feet like they are stuck in a swamp. The more they struggle, the tighter they become.
This is also the origin of the extraordinary nausea control skill "Spider Web" in the legal system.
This copy of "Bloody Monastery" has been a nightmare for players in the game for a long time.
It wasn't until the player cleared the second level of the dungeon and found clues about the monster in the library that he found a way to overcome it.
It turns out that this "ghost-faced spider" is a common underground creature in ancient mines. Dwarves often encounter them when mining, so to deal with this annoying spider web, they prepared a "dissolving agent", like using
Gasoline can wash away paint just as well, and it can easily get rid of these sticky cobwebs.
Thinking of this, Raymond warned everyone: "Be careful not to get trapped by the spider web. If you are stuck, use the 'dissolving potion' I gave you..."
Colin on the side raised the mechanical arm in his hand and asked: "Captain, do you need me to use a flamethrower to burn these cobwebs? Burning them all the way through will probably not waste much fuel."
This is a normal person's first reaction. Spiders are afraid of flames.
No matter how many cobwebs there are, they can be eliminated by burning them with flames.
It also saves effort.
But... you can't do this with the ghost-faced spider's web!
"Never use fire..."
Raymond shook his head and explained: "This spider web cannot be burned with fire, otherwise it will produce a colorless and odorless hallucinogenic toxin. Many people have lost their lives inexplicably without seeing the 'Ghost-Faced Spider'. In fact, it is because of this.
"
"Oh...that's it."
"Fortunately, the captain told me in advance, otherwise I would have almost set it on fire."
"I almost suffered from those monsters..."
After hearing the popular science, everyone nodded in unison, but also showed a hint of fear.
If they didn't have such a captain who knew everything, they would probably suffer a big loss if they just rushed in so rashly.
At this moment,
Lulu said seriously: "Captain... I seem to have seen some incomplete introductions to the characteristics of the 'Ghost-faced Spider' you mentioned in the paleontological encyclopedia. But this creature... should have been extinct for countless years.
ah."
Nicole on the side asked with a smile: "Captain, you didn't see it in the "Adventurer's Encyclopedia" again, did you?"
After hearing this, the big-headed son really believed it.
He looked eager for knowledge and asked urgently: "Captain, which version of the "Adventurer's Encyclopedia" are you reading? Why is it so detailed? Can you introduce it to me..."
"..."
Raymond rolled his eyes, not knowing how to explain.
He decisively used his trump card and said: "Once upon a time, I met a 'troubadour' and he showed me a monster illustrated book..."
Anna knocked on Raymond's head and smiled at his son: "Let's go, Lulu, don't listen to the captain's nonsense..."
"Hahaha..."
Others are smiling.
...
Seeing the spider web, Raymond knew that he was not far from his destination.
Sure enough, after all the members of the "Ghost Group" killed a few more lone ghost-faced spiders, they came to a larger cave space.
There is a dense group of buildings here, and the construction is much more exquisite than the previous dwarf town.
Obviously, this is a dwarven city.
The level of the mine is one or two hundred meters high. The huge load-bearing pillars hugged by several people are carved with some mythological reliefs. They have fallen into disrepair and several pillars have collapsed. The murals on the rock walls have been blurred, leaving only
A riot of colour.
The small town is built according to the rock wall of the mine, and at the highest point stands a majestic old castle surrounded by battlements. The old castle has a unique style, the small round spire tower is very eye-catching, and the main hall is mottled with gold paint, giving it a sacred and solemn look.
Feel.
"It's finally here..."
Raymond knew that it was the "Bloody Monastery".
However, at this moment, all the buildings in the city were covered with white cobwebs, and it seemed that the entire town was covered in a thick layer of white snow.
"Wow... we seem to be lucky, we actually encountered another dwarf city!"
"Look! There is an old castle there..."
"The statue carved on the rock wall next to the castle seems to be Rokan Khan, the god of truth and logic believed by the dwarves. There should be a monastery there."
"I have read in ancient books that the intelligent races of ancient civilizations all have their own gods, and they will spend all their money to support the gods... Traditional sacrificial places such as monasteries will gather countless rare treasures from the tribe.
A rare treasure."
"Then the castle won't be made of pure gold, right?"
"How is that possible? I think it's just gold paint..."
"..."
Everyone in the "Ghost Group" found that they had found another large building, and they became very happy.
"Everyone, be careful, someone is coming."
At this time, Raymond raised his eyebrows and looked somewhere in the darkness.
With his domineering perception, he discovered that someone was already one step ahead of them.
Sure enough,
Just as they were about to go inside, the assassin on guard had already spotted them and came out to intercept them.
The assassin looked at Raymond and their outfits and asked cautiously: "Are you from the 'Ghost Pirates'?"
The "Ghost Group" has become very famous in Jaffatron recently, so it's not surprising that the other party knows them.
"Yes!"
Anna on the side replied.
Everyone looked at these thieves warily.
Encountering other adventurers in this kind of underground ruins is more dangerous than encountering monsters. There may be a battle of killing and stealing.
The assassin's hand was always on the dagger at his waist, and he said with a vague threat: "You can go somewhere else. This is the place where we, the Green Dragon Pirates, discovered it first. You are not welcome."
The "Green Dragon Pirates" is also a well-known large-scale pirate group in this sea area, with thousands of crew members and many masters in the group. And their leader has a bounty of up to 786 million.
Thief, Sequence 1 [Green Dragon] Doto Tisis.
It makes sense that they have the confidence to "book the venue".
Raymond raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? You guys have reserved the venue..."
He must go to the monastery, and he was not going to give up so easily.
Assassin: "Yes!"
"oh..."
Raymond looked at the slightly rising fire in the city from a distance, with an imperceptible evil smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, and spread his hands: "Well, since you are here first, then you can explore first."
As he said this, he turned around and greeted the other members of the "Ghost Group" and said, "Let's get out of here."
Although Anna and others were a little unhappy, seeing that their captain had spoken, they didn't say much and just left.
The assassins were a little surprised when they saw Raymond and the others really leaving.
They thought there might be some conflict, and they were trying to notify the large forces inside.
Seeing people leaving, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Tsk, tsk... let's go now! But this saves trouble, we don't even need to negotiate. The treasures in the city belong to our 'Green Dragon Group'."
"Tsk~ What's the 'Ghost Pirates'? I think it's nothing more than that. There's a bounty of over 100 million, but when you hear my name of the 'Green Dragon Pirates', you don't even dare to cheat."
"I don't think that [Ghost] Raymond is very powerful. He only has a bounty of more than 200 million, which is much worse than our captain..."
"..."
...
The "Ghost Group" people have gone a long way and are beyond the surveillance range of the "Green Dragon Pirates" thieves.
After finally finding such a completed city, everyone felt a little unhappy to just give up.
As he walked, Thor always felt a little aggrieved, so he said: "Captain, do we really want to abandon this small town? We think there should be a lot of treasures in it... What's more, this ruins is originally a terra incognita
, we found it with great difficulty, why did those guys chase us away?"
Anna also raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes. According to the rules, we can negotiate with them to discuss the distribution issue..."
"Give up? No...I have no such intention."
Raymond shook his head, smiled mysteriously, and said: "Since they want to book the venue, let them book it first... We will go later."
"Ah? Why?"
Everyone was a little confused and looked at Raymond.
"There are tens of thousands of 'Ghost Faced Spiders' in the city, big and small, and the one or two thousand people of the 'Green Dragon Pirates' are not enough for the spiders to feed themselves. If they dare to set fire to the city, they will be destroyed sooner or later.
..."
Raymond had a determined expression on his face and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's rest first and wait for a few hours. It should be almost done."
"Well, I think... it might not be more than a few hours."
At this time, Lulu also pointed to a test tube in his hand and said: "There are so many cobwebs in the city. Without the captain's 'dissolving potion', they will definitely use torches to burn them..."
Just now, when Raymond said that burning spider webs would produce psychedelic toxins, the big-headed son took some samples and conducted a burning test.
Now the preliminary analysis results of the micro-instrument have come out, confirming that Raymond's judgment was correct.
He said: "The data is very clear. After the spider web is burned, it will indeed produce a strong hallucinogenic toxin. It is colorless and odorless, and the filtration efficiency of conventional poison masks is not high. If you inhale too much, even a high-level transcendent will
Everyone will be tricked. A large amount of poisonous gas will be produced, and they probably won’t be able to clean up many spiders, and they will be completely annihilated..."
"So this is ah..."
Miss Anna, who is obsessed with money, felt a little unhappy that they gave up a small treasure town.
Now when she heard this, her pretty face suddenly relaxed again, and she said in a stern tone: "Huh! Those arrogant and domineering guys deserve to be fed to spiders..."
Everyone suddenly felt better and agreed: "Yes, it would be good to ask them to help us clean up some spiders."
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Violent fighting sounds suddenly started.
As if to confirm Raymond and Lulu’s conjecture,
At this moment, intensive gunfire explosions suddenly came from the mine in the direction of the monastery.
"It seems that those guys have already gotten angry with the spider..."
Raymond said in a relaxed tone.
He motioned for everyone to sit down and rest, and said: "Everyone, please rest for a while. That city is the nest of the ghost-faced spider. The more noise there is, the more monsters will be alarmed... It probably won't take long."
"Everyone will take some 'sobriety and detoxification potions' soon..."
"Haha, we will go to the dwarf monastery later..."
"..."
.......
The waiting process was a bit boring.
Sudden,
Raymond looked up at the spider webs hanging on the rock wall, and an idea flashed through his mind.
He tried to use his "spiritual hand" to reach out.
This sticky spider web can stick to almost any physical object, but it cannot stick to mental energy.
Then, the entire spider web was successfully removed intact.
"Hey... there are so many cobwebs that even high-level extraordinary beings can control them. If we can collect some, they might come in handy..."
Raymond rolled his eyes and put the spider web into the system package.
Spider webs are not easy to preserve, they will stick to each other if put together.
But when this thing was placed in the system package, it became the data display of [Spider Web*1].
Seeing this display, he immediately realized that, as he expected, this thing could be stacked and stored!
One parcel can hold countless spider webs without them sticking together.
Then, as soon as the power of mind is controlled, the spider web can be like a "fishing net", and it will move towards the target cover with a "whoosh" sound.
Although it is not as sharp as the spiders' spray, the effect is similar.
If you really want to confront an enemy and spray him head-on, wouldn't it be similar to Spider-Man?
Anna on the side looked at Raymond's sudden move and asked curiously: "Hey... Captain, have you turned into a spider? Why are you still spraying cobwebs?"
"Haha... I feel like I have discovered a little magic..."
Anyway, he was idle. After discovering this little surprise, Raymond happily started collecting spider webs.
After trying several more sprays, he became more and more proficient at "casting the net". This attempt actually allowed him to create a unique physical version of the "Spider Web Technique"!
[Cobweb*18], [Cobweb*337], [Cobweb*1244]...
Then, there were more and more cobwebs in his system package...
