Chapter 719 After All, I Am Not a Devil
The mutant spider egg is as big as a watermelon!
Although the term "spider eggs" is vivid, it is not exact.
Eggs of birds and reptiles from which usually only one hatches.
Twins and multiple births are also possible, but not common.
Spider eggs are different. There is more than one young in the egg shell, and it is not uncommon for hundreds of small spiders to hatch at a time.
Of course, this refers to ordinary spider eggs.
As for the mutated spider eggs, it was the first time Joan had seen them, and he was very curious about how many hatching spiders were in an egg.
It's a bit troublesome to figure out the answer to this question without destroying the eggshell.
Fortunately, Joan has a special magical device in his hand, which is suitable for studying spider eggs.
Opening the storage bag, Joan found a magnifying glass with a wooden handle.
Henry Baldwin, the owner of the racecourse in Hows Town, used this "see-through hand mirror" to check the fetus in the womb of a pregnant mare. Later, his evil deeds were exposed and he was captured by the centaurs, and the "see-through hand mirror" also fell. into Joan's hands.
In this underground exploration, Joan originally planned to use the see-through function of this magic tool to find mineral veins, but unfortunately, no valuable mineral deposits have been found so far, but it can be used to easily view the inside of the spider egg shell.
Joan held up the "perspective hand mirror", surrounded the spider egg, and took a picture of it up, down, left, right, and right. Afterwards, he told his companions: "There are a total of 30 mutant spider cubs that have not yet fully developed in the eggshell."
Hailaer didn't dare to peek through the hand mirror to see the densely packed spider embryos in the shell like Joan did. Hearing what he said, he got goosebumps all over his body, and his scalp was so numb!
"You asked us to bring back these two spider eggs, what exactly do you want to use them for?"
Hailar rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and asked Joan angrily.
"A spider egg was made into a specimen for research."
Joan thought for a while, and the next two sentences almost scared Hailaer to tears.
"The other egg can't be wasted, it's better to bake it and eat it."
Hailar couldn't help turning his head and retching.
No matter how Joan cites scriptures and proves from a scientific point of view that spider eggs are nutritious and delicious, she still can't even listen to a word.
What Audrey and Hyrule saw in the spider's lair verified what happened to Evelyn.
No matter how much suspicion I still have about this sorceress, out of courtesy, I must at least be polite to her on the surface and try to help her get rid of the spider web.
Holden drew out his dagger, intending to cut the spider silk wrapped around Evelyn's body.
The thumb-thick mutant spider silk is tougher and stickier than it looks.
Holden was afraid of hurting Evelyn, so he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet to cut. He carefully cut a spider's thread with great effort, and made the blade of the sword sticky.
Seeing this scene, Joan said to Holden, "It's me instead."
Almost a week ago, when the interns from Midgard University were still exploring together, Joan exchanged spells with two mage classmates belonging to Arnold's team, Angor and Ryan.
At that time, Joan learned a 3-ring arcane art from Ryan, which was "vaporized form".
This arcane technique can not only bless itself, but also temporarily turn it into a mass of disembodied steam under the premise of the willingness of other subjects.
During the expedition, Joan did not relax his spell practice.
After a week of special research, he has already mastered the "Vaporization Form", which is suitable for helping Evelyn out of trouble.
After making a series of spell-casting gestures, Joan patted the magic power gathered in his palm into Evelyn's body.
Wave!
Accompanied by a slight air explosion, the enchanting and exquisite body of the sorceress quickly disintegrated into a ball of milky white steam.
The steam still maintains a vague human form, but it's not as solid as real flesh and blood.
The spider silk that was originally wrapped around Evelyn's body could not bind the ethereal steam.
The moment they lost their supports, they fell off one after another and piled up on the ground like a mess.
Evelyn's incarnate steam, freed from the shackles of the spider silk, drifted slowly to a place far away from the spider web, canceled the "vaporized form" by itself, and condensed into a flesh and blood body again.
After being tied up for nearly two hours, the poor sorceress' hands and feet were numb, her blood circulation was poor, and she walked staggeringly, as if she might fall at any moment.
Holden quickly reached out to help.
The female sorceress took the poet's arm and looked at him with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
Hyrule, in some respects, has a sense of smell like a hound.
The sharp eyes of the female swordsman swept Holden and Evelyn back and forth, and faintly smelled a sour smell of "dog food"!
"What a pair of dogs and men, they hooked up in such a blink of an eye!"
Hailaer slandered secretly, coughing twice.
Evelyn was frightened by the unpleasant coughing, she blushed and shook off Holden's hand, only then did she remember to thank Joan.
This young mage had just cast a spell to save her, out of politeness, he shouldn't be too indifferent to others.
Joan just wanted to say that it's a trivial matter, don't mind.
Hailar suddenly grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly and gently.
Joan immediately realized that she had something to say, so she didn't make a sound.
"Verbal thanks are worthless. If you really appreciate it, give something real."
Hailar looked at Evelyn with a smile on his face, but his words were very rude.
Evelyn obviously didn't expect that someone would ask for a reward in person after saving her.
This kind of behavior is not gentlemanly at all!
But having said that, Hailaer, who asked for a reward, was not a "gentleman" in the first place.
Judging from her speech and behavior, it seems that she doesn't bother to play "lady".
People like her value the real money that falls into their hands more than fame and decency.
Evelyn's delicate face twitched slightly, hiding her disdain for this philistine woman in her heart, rubbing her hands together, feeling very embarrassed.
"Sorry, I don't have any money with me..."
Hailar showed a meaningful smile.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, at least you still have a body!"
Evelyn was stunned and speechless, staring at her in horror.
Joan and Zion's siblings were also taken aback, they couldn't believe that Hailar would openly say such insane words.
"Don't look at me with that look. After all, I'm not a devil, and I won't really force you into prostitution."
Hailar shrugged and spread his hands, his face full of innocence.
"Then you mean..."
Evelyn asked nervously.
"Actually, I asked for this reward from you on behalf of Joan."
"There are some things that Joan is too embarrassed to say, so I'll just say them for him!"
"We saved your life, and we don't need you to sell yourself to repay the favor, as long as you donate a little blood."
Hailar made the request calmly.
