Broad World - Chapter 374
Chapter 372 trap
Swarms of spiders are slowly approaching and rubbing the giant chelating limbs that are enough to kill people, making a chilling “hiss” sound. I can see that there seems to be a certain hierarchy between them, all of which are waiting for the biggest one to issue an attack order.
“Oh! My goodness! These guys still know how to use tactics! Is it because my eyes are dazzling or the world is crazy!” Edwin cried out in surprise.
We must know that spiders, arthropods, are not very intelligent. Normally they can only distinguish simple targets such as enemies, partners, and prey. Because of this, it can be said that few people keep them in captivity except for the dark elves. Because these guys lose control completely when they are hungry, the tamers will be killed and eaten in all likelihood.
But these things are completely different right now. Henry could see that they were quite hungry, but they were still under control, not even the smallest of them acted arbitrarily. This situation is so rare that even the spider school in the dark elf city (the place where Queen Rose trains priests) is impossible to do. He knew he couldn’t retreat anymore, otherwise he would commit suicide by being pushed into the cratered narrow cave behind him. No one could run these eight-legged guys in that situation.
“Go to hell! Ugly monster!”
With Kogen’s roar, the battle began. He drew out the throwing axe hung on his belt and threw it forcefully. Under the huge inertia, almost every one could kill a spider, but there was an accident when he threw it to the largest one. This guy seemed to be extraordinarily smart, waving two huge claws in front of his head. The axe cut a lot of sparks on it, but in the end it didn’t cause any damage.
The dwarf’s actions clearly angered the big guy. It uttered a harsh scream, and then all the spiders and ite monsters surged up like a tide. Henry knew he couldn’t wait any longer, otherwise he would easily be overwhelmed with just a few people. Without a word, he raised the “Dead Cloud Staff” and shot out three groups of brown gas in a row, forming a barrier in front of him within a few seconds.
A large group of spiders that were too late to retreat were poisoned alive, and some larger and more tenacious still struggling. The giant black-haired spider raised its forelimbs high, and kept making crippling calls, which seemed to be both threatening and demonstrating power.
Edwin stared at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened and cursed in a low voice: “Oh! Damn! This guy seems to be very smart. Someone or magical object must have made it break the racial limit. As far as I know, this kind of spider It’s called a birdcatcher, and it’s usually no more than one foot in size.”
“You have time to think so much, it is better to prepare a few more flashing arts. I guess these spiders who have been living in the dark must not like bright lights. This zero-level spell can buy us a lot of time.” Henry said. Ignoring other people, I began to concentrate on preparing advanced magic. Because he found the black metal luster on the largest spider, ordinary weapons and spells must be difficult to work.
The death cloud technique lasted only a short minute, and the moment the poisonous mist dissipated, the giant black spider uttered a scream. Immediately following Zhen rushed up with countless similar people. It wielded its deadly giant claw and slammed into Korgan, trying to solve the enemy in front of it first.
The dwarf warrior fearlessly raised the “frost predator” and slashed it fiercely, only to see a burst of sparks intertwined, and then he was knocked out. Obviously the hardness of the monster shell is beyond imagination, and even such a powerful magic battle axe can only leave a white mark.
“How is this possible! I am afraid that this degree of hardness has already surpassed that of fine gold!” Fide yelled out silently. She couldn’t believe her eyes, knowing that the sharp axe could even cut through the mithril armor. But now even a layer of biological shell can’t be destroyed.
Seeing that Cogan was about to be submerged by spiders, Viconia cursed in a dark elf language and blessed himself with a “Sanctuary Art” hurriedly ran over and dragged the dwarf back. As she ran, she yelled at the still dazed red-robed mage: “Damn! Release your flashing skills! Does this have to be taught to you by me? An idiot!”
“Don’t call me an idiot! Spell preparation also takes time!” Edwin replied, and quickly completed a zero-level magic chant. The strong light was released fiercely from his hand, instantly illuminating the whole underground like daylight.
Viconia screamed and covered her eyes. Obviously she was also flashed by the spell, which to the dark elf felt like being pierced into the eye by a needle. Fortunately, the conditions of the spiders are equally bad. The largest giant black spider has withdrawn from the passage, while the others curled up into a ball, covering all eight of their eyes with their forelimbs. It seems that they are quite sensitive to light, at least dozens of times stronger than spiders on the ground.
When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly flashed near the entrance of the passage. Although the light was too dark and looked a little fuzzy, it was vaguely distinguishable from the lines that this was a woman. The moment she appeared, the huge black spider crawled down. It looks as docile and harmless as a domestic pet dog.
“I knew… I knew there must be someone behind here! That woman’s eighth achievement is behind the scenes, maybe we should catch her and torture her.” Edwin’s eyes flashed viciously after speaking. Like all red-robed mages, he has always considered problems from the dark side of human nature.
But easier said than done, especially when the opponent has an advantage. As the figure got closer, everyone gradually saw her true face. This is a mixed-blood drow, the dark skin is the best proof. As for the other half of the lineage, it has long pink-purple hair with a special luster, and half of the face is corroded by unknown forces. The skin exhibits glass-like qualities, and even the muscles and blood vessels under the skin can be seen clearly. Her eyes also looked quite abnormal, with only white eyes but no pupils, but from the action point of view, she should not be a blind person.
Viconia took a few steps forward and asked cautiously: “Who are you? Are you raising these spiders?”
“Hahahaha! What Badi said is right. The one who should come will always come. Come on, who is Henry among you, I can or maybe die sooner if you tell me. Oh, yes. My name is Pina, for a while. Don’t make the wrong call when begging for mercy, otherwise I will be very unhappy.”
As soon as the half-blood drow’s voice fell, Henry’s face suddenly showed a weird smile, and then he held up his right hand and grabbed a handful of air. Suddenly, the giant black spider uttered a heart-piercing scream, and immediately turned over, eight feet twitched constantly, and a large amount of dark green blood flowed out along the corner of the mouth.
This is the power of the eighth-level magic “organ harvesting”. His luck was quite good and he directly removed the spider’s heart, although in a sense it could only be regarded as an enlarged blood vessel. However, these arthropods rely on this play to provide oxygen to the whole body. Now that they have lost such an important organ, they naturally can’t survive. Against those monsters with a solid shell, this kind of magic that acts on the inside of the body is particularly effective.
In fact, Henry had already completed the magic long ago and had been observing this woman named Pina in secret. Judging from the opponent’s clothing and the abnormal natural energy in the body, it should be a druid with a serious distortion of doctrine. From the conversation just now, you can hear that she has colluded with the Vampire Queen, and she seems to know some secrets about herself.
Adhering to the principle of first attacking first, Henry did not hesitate to kill the most threatening enemy first. Although the remaining number was large, it was nothing to the legendary spellcaster. In essence, there is no difference between his and Edwin’s way of thinking. The first thing he considers when encountering anything is his own life and interests, and then he can get relatives, teammates, and friends.
As for those irrelevant outsiders, it’s okay to help if it’s not too troublesome. But if the enemy is very difficult and does not have enough benefits, he will absolutely ignore the life and death of these people. This kind of personality is absolutely abnormal, because in the process of growing up, a person will more or less form his own morality. Even the most brutal criminal will have the softest place deep in his heart. This is the last conscience of a wise life. , Most of the time we call this the bottom line.
Henry can clearly feel that he has no such bottom line. Before absorbing the two feelings of desire and loneliness he didn’t even know what the meaning of life was, but he was instinctively acquiring more resources, such as power, wealth, influence, fame, etc. Things that are good for survival.
Think about the benefits and losses like a smart computer. This is the state of life in the past. But after automatically acquiring desire, his feelings finally erupted like a volcano that had been immersed for a long time, and greedy thoughts filled his brain all the time. A month ago, such a risky move as today would never happen.
You must know that Badi has not been defeated yet, and there are at least a hundred vampires under her. Coupled with her own strength, she is definitely a terrifying enemy. Exploring the catacombs is definitely a dangerous thing now, maybe everyone will be killed. But greed made Henry choose to give it a try, and even wanted to take the book of Casa with his hand.
The half-blood dark elf in front of him reminded him that the so-called plot will change. For example, why would Badi know that his party is coming? Another example is what the looming rune on her forehead means, these are all uncertain variables. If you want to survive in this extremely dangerous world, you must be careful, even if you become a legendary mage and druid, you can’t relax. (To be continued.
