Chapter 724 Really Fragrant

Hailar, Zion, and Evelyn were all attracted to the stove by the firelight, and looked curiously at the spider egg that was baked on the fire.

"Joan, this egg, is this our dinner today?" Holden asked with great interest.

Joan nodded and noticed that his companions had different expressions.

Both siblings, Audrey and Holden, showed expressions of curiosity and anticipation. It seemed that they would not mind trying this new and unheard of delicacy.

Evelyn's reaction was a little subtle.

When she looked at the roasted spider eggs, her pupils dilated slightly, her eyes appeared bigger than usual, and her face was a little stiff.

Joan once read this statement in a book: When people are afraid, the pupils will involuntarily dilate.

Evelyn's reaction was actually quite normal.

Most girls would feel horrible when they saw a mutant spider with a big wheel, not to mention asking them to eat grilled spider eggs, it would be a face if they didn't vomit on the spot.

In fact, there was one person whose distaste for this extraordinary dinner was far more violent than Evelyn's.

"I, Hyrule Green, will not eat the disgusting Bara's spider eggs even if I starve to death!"

...

However, after just half an hour.

Someone's position has changed 180 degrees.

...

"Hey, I'm going! This egg is cooked, it's so delicious!"

Hailar seemed to have completely forgotten the vow he made not long ago, staring at the baked spider eggs and gulping his saliva, eager to taste it.

Baked spider eggs smell really tempting, a bit like crayfish wrapped in tin foil and baked.

Not only does it smell delicious, but it tastes amazing!

Joan cracked the eggshell, picked out the cooked spider cubs with a fork, and ate them on a dinner plate. The taste was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste was extremely delicious, with endless aftertaste.

Both Hailaer and Zion were full of praise for this unique delicacy, waving their forks and devouring it hungrily.

With an awkward smile on her face, Evelyn shook her head and politely rejected the plate that Holden handed over, she would rather eat a tasteless biscuit than try a roasted spider cub.

Compared with someone who is full of "true fragrance", Qiao An can't help feeling secretly:

Why is there such a big gap in integrity between people?

Baked spider cubs are about the size of a palm. Although they have more shells and less meat, they will be full after eating four or five.

Qiao An put down the plate and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat when he suddenly felt a strange tremor not far behind him.

In the dark underground world, deadly monsters may lurk everywhere.

A moment of carelessness often pays the price of losing life.

During the expedition, Joan's enchanted prosthetic eye has been in high-load operation.

Try to activate all the detection functions that can be activated.

The strange fluctuation sensed just now is the effect of the ring 3 "tremor perception" attached to the prosthetic eye.

Is there something lurking in the shadows?

Joan turned back and stared in the direction of the tremor.

The end of the field of vision was dim, and there was no obvious abnormality.

But just to be on the safe side, he still whistled, called Gulu over, blessed it with "Visual Link" and "Secondary Mind Link", and told it to investigate suspicious areas.

Gulu's night vision is very keen, and his sense of smell is even more sensitive than sight. He nimbly shuttled among the undulating rock piles, and quickly found the suspicious point that Joan had just discovered.

About two hundred yards from the river beach, a rocky hill in the shape of a leaning tower protrudes.

On the top of the stone mound, there is a crack more than two feet wide. It is dark inside, and I don't know how deep it is.

A transparent rope as thick as a thumb hangs down from a crevice in the rock, and the end almost touches the ground.

In the dark underground space, there is almost no wind.

This hanging rope is trembling slightly, as if it has life.

The air fluctuation Joan felt just now came from this mysterious hanging rope.

Gulu used both hands and feet, quietly approaching the sling, his eyes full of curiosity.

It soon discovered that most of this pendant rope was colorless and transparent, only a small section at the end shone slightly, and swelled into the shape of a bean pod. The smell is also sweet and fragrant like candy, very attractive.

Gulu couldn't help swallowing saliva, his throat squirmed, and he gurgled.

It raised one barbed front paw, hesitating to grab the sweet-smelling rappel of the rappel.

This damn temptation made it irresistible.

Just when it was determined to take the risk of grabbing the hanging rope, Joan's warning suddenly came from his mind.

"That thing is dangerous!"

"If you don't want to die, don't touch it!"

Gulu shuddered in fright, quickly withdrew his hands, took two steps back, away from the dangerous temptation.

Through the "visual link", Joan also saw the weird rope hanging from a high place.

The slender and transparent silk threads are not easy to detect, but the swollen ends emit light and sweet fragrance, which is so eye-catching in the dark.

This slightly trembling dropline reminded Joan of fishing lines and bait hanging on the hook.

"Gulu found something interesting over there, I'll go over and have a look."

Joan stood up by the fire, greeted his companions, and turned to the inclined natural stone tower by the river.

Seeing the master coming in person, Gulu seemed to have found the backbone, jumping around excitedly around him, frequently pointing to the glowing long rope hanging down from the tower.

Joan nodded, indicating that he had noticed it, and waved his hand to signal Gulu to retreat to a safe place.

Moving his gaze upwards along the straight hammer cable, Joan's gaze finally settled on a rock crack more than 30 feet above the ground.

He guessed that some kind of monster was hidden in the crevice of the stone, and the long rope hanging down was the unique tool the other party relied on for hunting.

Nocturnal animals passing by here, such as bats, and phototaxis Lepidoptera insects such as giant subterranean moths, are easily attracted by the glowing slings, and then confused by the sweet fragrance, and can't help but pounce on it to taste.

The viscous texture of the hanging rope implies great danger.

Once a living thing touches the lanyard, it will be stuck tightly and it is difficult to break free.

What will happen next, Qiao An is not difficult to predict.

A monster hiding in the dark, when it finds that its prey has taken the bait, it will definitely retract the sling and enjoy a delicious meal that is automatically delivered to its mouth.

Joan was very curious about what the underground creatures hunted by this "fishing" method looked like.

It's a pity that the other party's hiding place is too narrow and dark, and it is impossible to see clearly from the surface.

Joan's gaze returned to the long drooping rope.

Carefully set hooks can sometimes become the angler's own Achilles' heel.

After thinking for a while, Joan got an idea, and reached out and took out a black agate from the spell-casting material bag.
