Chapter 281: Lair

high jump!

Or if you can, preferably fly!

The ground without any corrected targets allows the instinct to deceive the self who is caught in the 'maze'.

However, as the altitude changes, the correction target can reappear.

That is... the 'obstacle' itself!

It will be your best reference.

Of course, "Hess's Labyrinth" also introduces some ways to 'prevent' such things from happening, so that people who are trapped in the maze can completely fall into it.

Fortunately, the immediate darkness, while it has similar measures, is not complete.

It has a height that ordinary people cannot reach.

However, such a height can be easily conquered by Kieran.

Qin Ran jumped up with all his might.

In the darkness, his figure disappeared in an instant.

...

"damn it!"

Shi Qi quickly loaded the magazine in the gun in his hand.

This was the last magazine on his body. If he knew that he would meet the monster in front of him, he swore he would definitely bring a flamethrower.

Subconsciously, Shi Qi thought of Kieran's backpack and the many weapons and equipment in it.

He has already considered whether he should also get such a backpack.

But that's for the future, if he can't get through the things in front of him safely, there will be no future.

boom!

The muzzle flashed, and the smoke filled the air.

A fist-sized spider with sharp legs was beaten to pieces.

However, more, spiders emerged from the two decks.

Da da da……

When the sharp spider legs touched the floor, there was a dense, hair-raising sound.

A dense patch of spiders stared at Shi Qi with many compound eyes.

The faint green light flickering in the eyes made Shi Qi's forehead overflow with sweat.

However, Shi Qi did not shoot again.

He knew very well that in the face of such a number of spiders, continuing to shoot would be nothing more than lingering.

"The cabin!"

"You have to retreat into the cabin to have a chance of survival!"

The calmness cultivated by years of working as a sheriff allows Shi Qi to accurately judge the situation in front of him.

He took out a palm-sized, sterling silver container that looked like a jug, quickly unscrewed the cap, and poured some of the liquid in front of him.

Seeing the giant spider approaching rapidly, Shi Qi ignited the liquid.

call!

The flames suddenly rose as high as a person.

The advancing spiders stopped immediately. Although they had already mutated due to certain things, their biological instincts did not disappear.

On the contrary, it became more and more intense.

sense of hunger.

Predatory desire.

Make them more aggressive, but also more fearful when facing flames.

This gave Shi Qi a glimmer of life.

He quickly retreated into the cabin, and looked for the stairs in his memory.

Because Shi Qi knew that although the flame was fast and fierce, its burning time was limited, so it was impossible to stop those spiders for a long time.

"This is the second-floor cabin of the Sunshine Mary, which has a swimming pool, a dance hall, and a large restaurant... No, the terrain is too open, and it is impossible to block those spiders!"

"Need to find a strong, narrow place..."

Under many conditions, there are not many places to choose, and among them, there is only one place that is the most trustworthy——

"The captain's cabin!"

"The captain's cabin on the third floor!"

Shi Qi, who instantly identified his target, ran faster and faster.

But behind him, the flame is getting smaller and smaller.

When the last flame turned into sparks and disappeared, hundreds of spiders swarmed past.

...

"This is the Sunshine Mary?"

Kieran stood on the deck and looked around.

The darkness disappeared with his jump, but a huge and rapid pulling force made him land on the deck of the Sunshine Mary before he could react.

The defensive force field that blocked everyone from approaching disappeared at some point.

"This is the first deck."

"The Sunshine Mary has three decks. The first floor is where tourists stay, and the second floor is a restaurant, dance hall, etc. The area is very large. If you want to search it thoroughly in a short time, unless you have a large number of people, Otherwise, it is impossible! Therefore, we can only find a specific target and conduct a purposeful search!"

While looking at it, Qin Ran recalled what Shi Qi said.

After comparing the two, Kieran quickly confirmed where he was going: the captain's cabin on the third floor!

The captain's cabin of every ship is always the top priority.

Not only because the captain himself is the supreme commander of a ship, but also because the logbook carried by the other party, as well as any valuables that may appear, will be there.

And if there's a secret...

Nature will be there too.

For Kieran who wanted to get extra evaluation for the side quest [Phantom of the Cruise Ship], the captain's room was naturally the first choice.

Immediately, Kieran took action.

There is no conventional way such as taking the stairs.

But a more direct way -

With a run-up speeding up, Kieran jumped towards the second deck. When he was in mid-air and was about to rest, he flicked the [Deceiver's Key] in his hand, and the hair-like thin thread was wrapped around the second deck. On the railing on the deck, Kieran pulled himself to the second floor with force.

"Um?"

Qin Ran who had just arrived on the second deck was taken aback.

He smelled a stench.

Then, his eyes locked on the source of the smell.

A battered...spider?

The reason why I'm not sure is because these spiders are really big, bigger than any common spider that Qin Ran knows.

Of course, in [Magical Biology], such a spider can only be considered small in size.

However, Kieran can confirm that there is no spider like this in [Magical Biology].

Look at those sharp legs and stinky juices.

The former has a sense of sharpness like a metal sword, while the latter represents... Poison!

It's not just the level of paralysis, but a truly deadly toxin.

[Potion Science] and [Medicine. Drug Knowledge] are proficient in poisons, which made Qin Ran extremely confident in his judgment.

"Is it a spider's nest?"

Kieran scanned the corpses of seven or eight spiders.

Entering the field of view of [Tracking], you can even see the traces and burning traces left by swarms of spiders, as well as a set of footprints.

Kieran can confirm that the number of spiders exceeds a hundred just by simply identifying them.

The previous bullet marks and the current burning traces, together with the set of footprints, convinced Qin Ran that Shi Qi had also arrived on the Sunshine Mary.

"This guy!"

Qin Ran sighed and shook his head.

Although Qin Ran couldn't figure out how Shi Qi appeared here, Qin Ran could guess why Shi Qi appeared here.

To save him!

With Shi Qi's character, it's really normal to do such a thing.

"What a hassle!"

Qin Ran muttered in a low voice.

However, he changed his original, more direct approach, and prepared to enter the cabin along the trace left behind.

The other party came here to save him.

Now, the other party was in danger, and Kieran couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

However, just as Qin Ran was walking quickly towards the cabin, a weak voice suddenly came out.

"2, 2567 help!"

Shi Qi, covered in blood, was struggling to climb out of the cabin.
