Chapter 212 Stone Statue Demon Spider!
Watching the mucus under the feet of the team members in front gradually pull into thin threads, Meng Chao suddenly stood still and shivered deeply.
With a tingling pain in his brain, he remembered.
Stone mushroom, a special kind of mushroom that grows near the underground spiritual veins, has no tendency to attack actively.
But after being attacked by an enemy, it will shoot out a lot of slime.
At first, the slime is neither toxic nor corrosive, and will have no effect on enemies.
But soon, as the enemy stepped on or was contaminated with its slime, the slime would become tough and even solidify in just a few minutes, sticking the enemy tightly.
According to the calculations of biologists, after the mucus of the stone mushroom is solidified, its strength exceeds that of reinforced concrete.
Small monsters such as snakes, insects, rats and ants couldn't break free at all, and could only watch themselves turn into a statue and be assimilated by the stone mushroom in the end.
This is also the origin of the name "stone mushroom".
Even if the supernatural wants to break free from the solidified mucus of the gargoyle mushroom, it will take a lot of effort.
What's even more frightening is that the stone mushroom often forms a symbiotic relationship with a monster called "Wanblade Flying Spider".
The Myriad Blade Flying Spider is a small arthropod monster with a very peculiar way of hunting.
Like many arachnoid monsters, the Mandala weaves strong, sticky webs.
But it will never sit and wait, but after weaving the spider web, three or four Ten Thousand Blade Flying Spiders will drag a spider web together, and use the strong jumping force to actively envelop the spider web towards the prey.
Its web uses a natural single-molecule structure that is sharper than a knife's edge.
Once it covers the head of the prey, the more it struggles, the more the spider web will be embedded in the body, and it can even use the power of the prey to tear itself into pieces of flesh.
The abilities of the Myriad Blade Flying Spider and the Stone Mushroom complement each other perfectly. Together, they can often hunt and kill large monsters more than ten times their size. Even low-level super beasts can hardly escape its clutches. They are the most insidious predators in the underground world. one of the eaters.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao felt cold all over his body.
"Be careful, don't step on the slime splashed by these mushrooms!"
He gave a loud warning and gave a sharp push to the prospector who was about to step on it.
Almost at the same time, in the depths of the gargoyle mushrooms, dozens of flying spiders leaped up, like the most skilled fishermen, spread seven or eight large nets, and rushed towards the three heavenly realm experts suspended in mid-air .
The three celestial realm experts were all disturbed by the strong spiritual magnetism, making them dizzy and dizzy. They were barely able to maintain the magnetic levitation ability, and failed to detect the existence of the Thousand Blade Flying Spider in advance.
Seeing that the cotton-like spider webs were about to entangle themselves, the three of them showed the extraordinary strength of the heavenly powerhouses, and they dodged one after another like ghosts. The Myriad Blade Flying Spider blasted into a cloud of blood mist.
However, there was still a spider web wrapped around Machete's combat boots.
The pupils of the scimitar shrank suddenly, and kicked out the boots simply by using the peristalsis of the calf and foot muscles.
The combat boots made of monster leather and inlaid with steel plates were deeply inlaid with spider webs, which made all three of them click their tongues secretly.
The prospecting team members on the ground were not as lucky as the three heavenly realm experts.
They passed through the stone mushrooms all the way, and unconsciously, their bodies and soles were stained with a lot of mucus. When they realized it, the mucus gradually solidified, restricting their movements.
And the Myriad Blade Flying Spiders they were facing were also denser, and the gleaming spider webs covered their heads and brains.
A prospector with the most slime on his body was the first to be caught in the spider's web.
He struggled subconsciously, but the spider web was like ten thousand soft sharp knives, embedded in his exposed face and hands.
His face was immediately covered with criss-cross cuts.
Three fingers were cut off altogether.
The prospector was in agony, unable to move any longer, and fell to the ground, falling right into the gargoyle's flowing slime.
Stimulated by the blood, the mucus instantly solidified, tightly blocking his facial features.
He couldn't breathe, he struggled instinctively, the spider web shrank violently, cutting off the flesh and exposing the bones.
Soon, the prospector died tragically from suffocation, excruciating pain and excessive blood loss.
Even experienced hunters who have been fighting in the wilderness for ten years have never seen such a strange combination of monsters and fungi, and they feel creepy.
"Don't attack the surrounding mushrooms! These flying spiders are afraid of the flames! Let's all rush over together, and you will be safe if you rush out of their hunting range!"
Meng Chao yelled violently, stirring the fire flow crystal on the flagship version of the Benlei Zhan Dao, releasing a nearly 1,000-degree high-temperature blade light, which split a spider web and even the four Wanblad Flying Spiders blazed into flames.
Everyone's spirits lifted.
High-heat flames are one of the most common attack methods used by supernatural beings.
Many members of the Blade team have practiced fire-type skills, or carried weapons inlaid with fire-type crystals such as fire flow crystals.
Even prospectors often carry incendiary tubes and high-heat torches with them to melt minerals and survive in the wild.
Knowing the weakness of the monster, you can prescribe the right medicine.
Although he still paid a terrible price, he would not be at a loss and wait to die.
Many prospectors fell under the entanglement of mucus and spider webs.
Once it falls down, it is difficult to get up with its own strength. It is often stuck around the gargoyle mushroom, barely torn, tearing the gargoyle, but will shoot out more mucus, and together with the rescuer, the more sticky tight.
But more prospectors and hunters used flames to clear the way, and gradually left the growth range of the stone mushrooms.
Meng Chao even danced the two chain blades like a flaming windmill, causing countless thousands of blade flying spiders to die in the flames.
Seeing that Lu Siya and other people rushing to the front are about to get rid of this terrible slime hell.
A reddish gargoyle mushroom suddenly moved, revealing a spider-shaped monster that was bigger than a bathtub underneath.
"The Gargoyle Demon Spider!"
Meng Chao's scalp was numb.
This kind of monster is the king of the Myriad Blade Flying Spiders. Under the super radiation of the crystal veins, it crazily evolved and mutated, and its size swelled dozens of times, and it was the product of a perfect fusion with the stone mushroom.
They can spray out instant solidified super slime, and can also spray out extremely sharp spider webs, at least reaching the level of a second-level nightmare beast.
At the place where the underground spiritual veins gather, the life fields of the heavenly powerhouses and hell beasts are disturbed and suppressed. On the contrary, this ferocious and cunning nightmare beast is the most difficult predator.
The Gargoyle Demon Spider leaped high and was very close to Lu Siya.
According to Lin Chuan, although Lu Siya is a sensitive person, she focuses on the exploration of spiritual veins and spar research, and does not have too much combat effectiveness.
Sure enough, she seemed sluggish, frightened by the sudden nightmare beast.
The female bodyguard Lu Fengying let out a shriek, and a blast of sword energy shot towards the stone mushroom on the upper body of the stone spider.
Although the wound was deep, it failed to cut off the stone mushroom, and the mucus was secreted crazily, and it recovered in an instant.
Lu Fengying wanted to turn around to rescue her, but there were hundreds of flying spiders dragging dozens of spider webs, frantically blocking her way.
Seeing that Lu Siya was about to be torn into pieces by the sharp-edged spider web ejected by the Gargoyle Demon Spider.
Only Meng Chao, a small one-star spirit pattern, can not be disturbed by the spiritual magnetism of the spar veins. He shoots two chain blades, one left and one right, wrapping around the upper body of the gargoyle demon spider. The direction of the spider web was half an inch off.
Lu Siya's face turned pale, and she took a deep look at Meng Chao.
The gargoyle demon spider opened its teeth and claws, and let out a "hissing" scream.
Meng Chao yelled violently, and his spiritual energy stirred up the offensive runes on the two chains, and the two fire snakes spread all the way to the Gargoyle Demon Spider, burning them fiercely.
The gargoyle was quickly burnt to pieces.
The carapace on the body is cracked.
However, it did not slump as Meng Chao expected.
Instead, scarlet tentacles sprang out from the cracks, devouring the flames one by one.
Soon, the gargoyle was waving scarlet tentacles all over its body, like an oversized sea anemone in the blood sea of hell.
"Blood-streaked flower parasite, undead creature!"
Meng Chao's mind was spinning, and he was dripping with cold sweat.
When the Huanyu Group's prospecting team passed through the gargoyle mushroom group, they must have also had a fierce battle with the Myriad Blade Flying Spider and the gargoyle demon spider, and killed the gargoyle demon spider.
It never expected that the sclerotium of the blood-striped flower had long been parasitic in the body of the Gargoyle Demon Spider, and after its death, it was transformed into an even more difficult undead creature.
As a result, the prospecting team of the Huanyu Group rushed over, but left this "zombie version" of the stone spider to the latecomers.
A monster that has turned into an undead creature naturally has different weaknesses than before. This zombie version of the gargoyle demon spider is not afraid of flames at all.
Enraged by Meng Chao's provocation, it let Lu Siya go, and jumped in front of Meng Chao in two steps.
Meng Chao's ten fingers manipulated the chain blade like plucking strings, attacking the most vulnerable junction of the upper and lower body of the Gargoyle Demon Spider.
The flagship version of the Benlei War Knife surged out a subzero Baidu's cold blue light, piercing deeply.
However, the youth version of the Benlei War Knife couldn't withstand the repeated impact of violent spiritual energy. There were criss-cross cracks on the knife body, which were directly chopped into pieces by the gargoyle demon spider wielding its blade limbs.
The "Thousand Moon Slash" that Meng Chao was constructing was suddenly interrupted, and he froze for half a second.
The gargoyle demon spider instantly spewed out hundreds of hair-blown and broken spider threads, like thousands of sharp knives, piercing Meng Chao's face.
At the critical moment, the scream of a phoenix appeared in Meng Chao's ear.
Lin Chuan stood in front of him, and the chain spear swung into a flaming vortex, sweeping away most of the spider threads.
Like a poisonous snake, the tip of the spear pierced precisely into the spinner of the Gargoyle Demon Spider's silk, and penetrated all the way to the spinner gland.
The gargoyle demon spider suffered from pain, and the gargoyle mushroom behind it swelled rapidly, and more and more blood-colored tentacles came out of the crack, dancing wildly.
"Walk!"
Lin Chuan's face changed, and he dragged Meng Chao and ran away.
A group of people stumbled out of the gargoyle mushrooms.
After running for dozens of meters, they scrambled to jump into the folds of the spar veins.
There was a deafening explosion behind him.
When I looked back, I found that the huge gargoyle fungus behind the gargoyle demon spider burst completely, and sprinkled the mucus mixed with blood-striped flower clusters all over the gargoyle mushroom group.
