Chapter 12 The Spider
As soon as he entered the passage of crows, Huang Chao heard the sound of fighting coming from ahead. He sprinted around a corner and saw a Conqueror Guard, wrestling with a spider the size of a bathtub.
The spider's legs crawled forward one by one, like two complicated wheels rolling on the ground. The brown and white patterns on the legs made people dizzy, and a disgusting feeling came to Huang Chao's heart.
"It's better to kill quickly."
He aimed at the spider and swiped a few waves of multicolored magic arrows. When the spider reacted, it gave up the conqueror guard and attacked Huang Chaoshi. It was already on the verge of death. Huang Chao took away its remaining blood without hesitation.
"Thank you! Those spiders are disgusting, huh?"
"yes."
The conqueror looked at Huang Chao for a moment, his eyes stayed away from his equipment, and then showed a surprised expression: "You are the blessed one in their legend? It's an honor to meet you. This passage has been occupied by spiders, and you are the only one like this." Only the blessed ones dare to cross. I wish you the best of luck!"
Huang Chaoxin said: "I didn't answer anything, what do you mean by unilaterally ending the dialogue?"
He could only reply sullenly: "Hello, hello, I'm leaving, goodbye, goodbye!"
Huang Chao continued on the road and found that this passage was disgusting. There were spiders everywhere, ranging from the size of a shoe box to the size of a bathtub. They had various colors and intricate patterns, and could spit acid and bite with sharp teeth.
Among them, the snow-white translucent spider actually has the power of ice, which can release ice arrows from a distance. Once hit by an arrow, Huang Chao's speed will be greatly reduced. Cooperating with the jumping spike spiders and the fat acid spiders is simply crazy.
There are also snow wolves mixed in. The wolves are much smaller than the spiders and can basically be ignored.
Huang Chao killed a wave of snow wolves, and sighed: "Don't look at you being so frustrated now, in the future, your brothers will be the main force. Go with ease..." In the future, there will be a large number of werewolves in the forest.
He was also bored with killing, so he could only talk to himself to relieve his loneliness.
Huang Chao walked slowly across a stone bridge on a cliff. The bridge was covered with snow. Huang Chao raised his vigilance to prevent himself from falling. At the same time, he was worried that the stone bridge would collapse halfway.
Fortunately, this road was not a bean curd project, so Huang Chao came to the other side of the mountain stream smoothly.
A woman in front saw Huang Chao and shouted loudly: "Help! Help!" At the same time, she ran towards Huang Chao.
"Hello, Mr. Professional. Please save our children. The two of them ran to the cave here. My husband went in to look for them, but he didn't come out! Sir, please save them."
Hey, this person doesn't even know that I'm the Blessed One. Huang Chao heard the term "professional" from her mouth, which is probably also the power system of this world. But it doesn't look as noble as the blessed one.
In fact, people in this world can become very powerful through self-exercise. These people have different development directions, but they are all professionals. They also have skills and can use equipment. And the favored ones are people who have the ability to fight monsters and upgrade.
For example, Huang Chao, he doesn't understand magic at all, but every time he upgrades and gains skill points, he can release powerful skills. Such an unbalanced person can only be explained by God's blessing.
Huang Chao would not remind her that he is a blessed person, he agreed to the other party and walked into the cave.
When Huang Chao played this task for the first time, it was very urgent, lest he played too late and the two children would be killed. The final result simply made him swear:
Those two so-called children turned out to be two spiders! It's the pet of this funny couple!
Huang Chao felt that his feelings had been deceived, but that was a game character, and Torchlight was not an open game like The Elder Scrolls, where he could kill NPCs in a fit of anger, so Huang Chao could only hand in the task and leave.
Now that he's in the real Torchlight, he thinks he'd be insane if he killed two residents for what happened before.
"Hey, forget it, you are willing to treat spiders as children, and it's none of my business?"
Huang Chao goes deep into the cave, and there are many unlit torches inside. Light them all up, and you can open a secret door with a robot component inside. This was part of the former Torchlight town bard.
This task needs to collect five components, and finally fight three bosses. The experience is very rich, and it is the most complicated side task in Torchlight 2.
Huang Chao decisively lit the first torch, and the dark cave was immediately illuminated by the fire. Huang Chao saw a humanoid object wriggling on the ground not far away!
He broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly released the colorful magic arrows to destroy the object before it exploded. This is the most disgusting thing in the passage of crows, bar none.
It is the creature caught by spiders who lay their eggs inside their victims, which are then sealed in bags of silk. Whenever someone approaches, the bag shakes and bursts, splashing out a lot of little spiders.
Those with trypophobia, this scene alone can defeat them.
But the little spider is difficult to aim, moves fast, and its attack power is not low. So once this thing is discovered, it must be destroyed immediately, otherwise it will be very annoying in a while.
There are still all kinds of spiders in the cave, and they have ambush methods: an empty passage, when Huang Chao walked to the middle, there were spiders falling from the front and rear sides, just surrounding him.
Although Huang Chao knew this, he had to move forward if he wanted to move forward, and he couldn't avoid the spider's ambush at all.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for battle, and would not panic because of the spider's parachute.
Eliminating all kinds of monsters along the way, lighting the torch, Huang Chao came to the depths of the cave. The terrain of the cave here is very wide, with a cave roof supported by rock pillars, and the spider boss is here.
The boss moves slowly, so the fighting process is lacklustre. Huang Chao retreated all the way to the middle of the cave before killing the big spider by flying a kite.
He wanted to toss and turn around, but the spider was as tall as him on one leg, Huang Chao said that such a big enemy should not be tough...
The big spider must have a blue shoulder armor, a winter cloak, and a lot of ice defense, which is very suitable for the next environment. Huang Chao immediately changed into it. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt much warmer.
At the end of the cave was a man with a broken leg, and beside him were two spiders the size of a washbasin.
Huang Chao approached cautiously, and the man said happily: "Thank you for coming to rescue us. My leg has been injured, please take Xuexue and Yangyang out first."
Huang Chao understood that he was referring to the two spiders beside him. He looked at the two spiders and always had the urge to brush the colorful magic arrows. The cow dog also seemed to dislike them very much, circled around Huang Chao a few times, and then barked twice at the spider.
The spiders are very helpless, they can't scream, they can only raise their front legs to express their dissatisfaction.
"Hehe. Please wait for me, I still have something to get." Huang Chao entered the secret door on the wall and retrieved the parts of the robot. This is a drum, probably a musical instrument used by robots back then.
Huang Chao came back and said to the man: "Let's go together." He happened to be promoted to a level before, so he simply added 5 points to his strength at this moment. He grabbed the man, although it was a bit strenuous, but it didn't affect his action.
15 points of strength instantly increased his strength by half. Huang Chao had never felt so strong before. He was almost carrying the man along the way.
Behind them followed the cow dog and the spider, the two were clearly distinct, and they looked very unhappy at each other.
The two walked out of the cave, and the couple thanked Huang Chao very much. Huang Chao accepted the equipment money, bid farewell to this wonderful couple, and continued his journey.
After crossing two suspended stone bridges, Huang Chao walked into an open snow field, where he eliminated an elite monster, who was covered in long hair, with a pair of long teeth protruding from the corners of his mouth, thick limbs, and a face that looked a bit like bear face.
Huang Chao saw this monster and knew that he was close to the frost hill.
He hadn't gone far, when he met an older Ithrian. He seemed to have seen this man at the consul's place, but was not impressed.
Seeing Huang Chao, the Yisrian people breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him, "Your Excellency, Huang Chao, it's good that you're here. I need your help."
"I am Valin, the elder of Isrian, and I went to the Temple of the Ring Forest with Grand Consul Eldrin, but we got separated on the way. He has entered the Ring Forest now, and the passage has been closed. Another ancient passage to enter. Two keys to the passage are lost, one in the hands of the goblin and one of the slave trader."
"I ask you to take back the two keys and enter the Temple of the Ring Forest. The Grand Consul's expression was very bad when he left. I am worried that he is also infected with the plague."
Huang Chao had already known from Wei'er before coming that this plague would infect creatures with magical talents, such as Ithrians and Patronus, but the Imperials did not respond. Huang Chao, the blessed one, seems to belong to the Empire, so Weier let him go deep into the frosty hills to prevent Aldrin from infecting the Patronus with the plague.
Now that the plot has returned to normal, Huang Chao feels a sense of loss, and Aldrin probably still has to kneel, alas, what a pity for this benevolent old man.
Huang Chao agreed to the elder's request and entered the Frost Sand Dunes. There is a long row of ancient stone carvings facing you, they are the images of various beasts, facing each other, forming a wide passage, which has a special flavor in the snowstorm.
On the high platform on the other side, there was a teleportation point shining with blue light. After Rhubarb approached it, a surge of blue light shot from the teleportation point into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds. Snowflakes dance in the blue light beams, creating a spectacular and magical scene.
The teleportation point has been opened, and Rhubarb starts to spawn monsters along the direction indicated by the map.
The monsters here are no longer animals from the earth, they are all similar to the elite monsters that were killed before. Some of them can breathe frost in melee, some can charge in the snow, and some can release frost tornadoes and lightning circles.
There are also traces of snow wolves and goblins on the ground. One of the snow wolves has a green body and is also infected with the plague, while the goblins are a classic combination of warrior, mage, and archer.
In the vast snow field, the never-ending blizzard, and endless monsters, Huang Chao lowered the brim of his hat, fastened his armor, and embarked on the journey silently.
