Chapter 715 Evelyn
Holden took another step closer to the girl in blue. In order to facilitate communication and ease the embarrassment of the other party, he simply sat on the ground beside her, resting his chin on one hand, and looked at her with a smile.
In this way, the two people appear more equal in posture.
"My name is Holden, and I am exploring the Underdark with my friends. May I have the honor to ask Miss your name?"
First impressions between strangers are often determined by some seemingly insignificant details.
Holden's considerate demeanor and elegant conversation made the girl in blue very useful. The moment she looked at him, she seemed to be stunned by the beautiful turquoise eyes of a young poet, and her cheeks flushed.
"Hello, Mr. Holden, my name is Evelyn, and I am a warlock employed by the Nidaville prospecting team. My two companions and I have been searching for ore veins in the Underdark for the past two months. Unfortunately, nothing was gained.”
"It's a pity, Evelyn. In fact, I also have the same distress. Everyone says that the Underdark is rich in minerals, but the veins seem to be hiding from us."
Holden made a joke casually, and then asked Evelyn, "You broke into the spider's lair to find mineral veins?"
The sorceress nodded sheepishly.
In fact, the only thing she could move was her slender and flexible neck.
"We explored from the other side of the Nida Mountains, and accidentally found a hidden cave. At that time, my companions and I did not expect that this cave was so deep, and eventually led to the valley filled with countless large spiders."
Holden turned around and exchanged glances with his sister and Hailar.
If what Evelyn said is true, it will verify the prediction made by Joan with the help of the "navigation compass" from another aspect.
The spider lair at the end of the valley probably has a "back door" leading to the northern mountains, which is the only way to leave the valley.
Evelyn and her companions were exploring the dark mountainous area from north to south, and accidentally found the "back door" of the spider's lair. one is right.
"The mutant spiders we encountered at the beginning were not many in number and the threat was not great, so they were easily eliminated."
Evelyn went on to tell her story.
"This gave us the illusion that the spiders in the nest were not difficult to deal with, so we explored along the tunnel to the south until the depths of the nest... only to realize that we had made a big mistake!"
Evelyn's body trembled, as if recalling some terrible experience.
"What happened to you in the spider's lair?" Holden asked with concern.
"There is an open cave in the depths of the lair, the ground is covered with spider webs, like a thick layer of silver-white carpet, there are many spider eggs as big as pumpkins piled up on it, and there are scattered spider eggs in the gaps between adjacent spider eggs. There are some light blue pebbles that shimmer."
"One of my companions suspected that those luminous minerals were magic crystal particles, so he wanted to climb onto the spider web to pick them up. The mineral oil he applied on his body could prevent him from being stuck by the spider silk."
"However, as soon as he touched the spider web, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards. First, a large group of mutant spiders rushed in and surrounded us. Just when we were struggling to resist the siege, a black human-faced spider with red spots appeared without any warning. came out from behind us..."
"The human-faced spider...a sneak attack without warning..."
Holden frowned and muttered to himself.
"This sounds a lot like the 'phase spider' Joan mentioned, Evelyn, what happened?"
"I... I was frightened and stupid at the time, and I can't remember many things clearly."
Evelyn shook her head in panic, her eyes full of fear.
"The human-faced spider bit one of my companions, and then entangled another with its filaments. I blasted a 'lightning beam' at it in a panic. Before I could check whether it hit, another one rushed over from behind The big spider is knocked down."
Evelyn took a deep breath, as if trying to get rid of the terrifying impression in her mind.
"I was very scared at the time, and all I could think about was to escape from this hell-like cave as soon as possible, before I was killed by the mutant spider, and I finally used the 'any door'."
"At that time, I was too flustered. I didn't even care about rescuing my companions, and I didn't have time to think about where to teleport. In short, the farther I escaped, the better."
"When I finished the teleportation, I found myself in a strange tunnel. There was a faint sound of fighting in front of me, and a group of spiders were chasing after me."
"In that situation, I didn't dare to look back, I could only run forward desperately."
"When I was about to exit the tunnel, I heard the sound of human beings talking outside. For me, this was the best news. I shouted 'Help' quickly, and then... I met you."
After telling what happened to her, Evelyn let out a long sigh, as if she had been drained of energy, and her whole body became sluggish.
"I sympathize with what happened to you, Evelyn, now you take a break, I want to talk to my companion, how to help you solve the trouble."
"Thank you, kind sir." Evelyn looked at Holden gratefully. "It would be even better if you could help me get rid of this damned spider web as soon as possible. The spider silk choked me so much that I couldn't breathe."
Holden intended to help her out of trouble, but was stopped by his sister's stern look.
"This poor Miss Evelyn has just told a touching story, but the question now is whether the story she tells is believable."
Audrey's implication has already shown that she doesn't trust Evelyn very much.
"I also suspect that she is lying, but having said that, I hope the description about the magic crystal particles in the spider's nest is true. This means that a large windfall is in front of us, waiting for us to pick it up."
Hailar licked his lips, his eyes were burning, and he made no secret of his hunger for wealth.
"'Sister Money Fan', don't be obsessed with money, the most important thing now is to rescue Evelyn from the spider web, and then ask her to lead the way and lead us into the spider nest to explore."
"etc!"
Audrey raised her hand to prevent her younger brother from approaching Evelyn, lowered her voice, and looked stern.
"If this person has bad intentions, saving her would be asking for trouble. I don't want to take the risk."
"I have nothing against you doubting Evelyn, but you have to give me a reliable reason."
Holden is very disapproving of his sister's overly cautious attitude.
"You want a reason? Well, you can see for yourself!"
Audrey suddenly turned to face Evelyn, and waved her hand to emit a divine magic radiance that detects the camp.
