Chapter 198 Crazy Opponent

There was a guard on the slope who drew his knife more and more slowly, as if he couldn't even lift his arm. Finally, he couldn't withstand the pull of several spiders' webs and was pulled out of the crowd in one fell swoop.

His companions were unable to rescue him and watched helplessly as he fell down the slope and was instantly submerged by the black tide of spiders.

The shrill scream didn't last long, but it seemed to echo endlessly in everyone's heart, making them panic.

He Lingchuan's heart moved. Tigers and wolves can kill people by biting their vitals, but spiders can bite people with one bite. How did this patrolman die so quickly?

Judging from the way he was swaying, it didn't look like exhaustion, but more like poisoning.

There are indeed many species of spiders that are highly venomous.

The guide trembled: "Why are these burrowing spiders so crazy?"

The amount of information contained in this statement was quite large. Liu Tong asked him: "Do they usually live here?"

"Yes, yes." The guide's voice was like a gnat, completely drowned out by the movement on the slope. Only the two people standing closest could hear it. "We never interfere with each other."

"Is there any way to save people?" The people on the slope are in danger and cannot hold on for long.

There were spiders from all directions who heard the news and came to join the fight, like flies smelling carrion. The door panel cursed in a low voice: "How many spiders are there in here!"

"They were originally afraid of fire." The guide only said a few words, his face getting paler.

Monsters that are usually afraid of fire are now coming one after another. What kind of demonic obstacle is this?

He Lingchuan thought of Dong Rui.

Can a beast master make it possible for a monster to attack without fear of death?

Liu Tiao watched intently and suddenly said: "I remember that spiders can't swim. Is it the same here?"

The guide was unsure: "I, I don't know, I've never seen a spider go into the water."

There is no shortage of water in Guizhen Stone Forest.

"How far is the nearest creek? It needs to be large-scale."

Sweat dripped from the guide's forehead and he pointed to the west, "There is a big pool there, very deep, about fifteen feet away. I used to take people there to get water and rest."

"Living water or dead water?"

"Living, living water!" the guide swallowed. "There are two streams upstream, heading to the north! It rained heavily just seven days ago, so the amount of water should be quite large now."

"It's over there." Liu Tong made a quick decision, "Find a way to get them over."

At this time, He Lingchuan missed the secret treasure fragrant dumplings given to him by the bandit. This stuff was so disgusting that it would run away from everyone. It would be great if he could bring it into the dreamland of the Coiling Dragon!

After all, they were a team that had been working together for a long time, and everyone assigned tasks in a few words.

The door panel held out his giant ax, took a deep breath, and said to He Lingchuan: "Okay."

He Lingchuan grinned at him, thrust his arms through his arms, grabbed the belt of the door panel, and threw him out!

He Lingchuan's strength was already great, but after the marrow was cleansed by the Emperor's liquid, He Lingchuan was able to forcefully throw Menpan, a strong man weighing more than 170 kilograms, three feet away!

The door panel exhaled in mid-air and said: "Ride over here, there is a way to survive here!"

Suddenly there was a large living person in the field. The spiders' offensive stalled, and they immediately separated some parts and turned to attack.

He Lingchuan's throwing skills that he had practiced hard for more than two months were paying off. When the door panel fell, there was a large protruding rock under his feet.

He used the force of the rock to turn around and take off again!

Even though he wasn't as nimble as the thin man, and he was holding a heavy weapon, he could still jump more than ten feet.

That's pretty close to the trapped team.

This team had just lost one more person and was seriously injured. They were filled with despair. When they suddenly heard the word "survival", they were overjoyed.

The hoarse sound of smoke on the door panel was more beautiful to them at the moment than the lingering sounds of famous actors in the theater.

He raised the ax high, and when it landed, the ax hit the ground first - the back of the ax was facing down.

There was a "buzz" sound with a continuous bass sound, like a hammer hitting a tuning fork.

The legs and feet of the spider army within a three-foot radius suddenly stopped, and some even formed circles on the spot, as if they were drunk.

"Come here quickly!" the door panel urged.

This wave of bass shock also made the horses on the slope shake their heads, and one of them knelt down on the spot. Everyone ignored it and the two of them jumped on the backs of other horses and ran wildly behind the door panel.

When they were about to pass him by, the door panel hit the ground twice with the axe, knocking out another wave of little monsters.

It took a lot of effort to use such a combat technique, and Menpan's face turned red from holding back. The bass attack is a three-axe attack, and it will take a long time to recover after hitting them all.

Willow also rushed over on horseback and threw several burning bottles. Blue-white smoke burst out of the bottle, and the spider that rushed towards it shrunk when it was smoked. It turned over on its belly, and its eight legs trembled toward the sky.

The team just got rid of the bee demon a few days ago, and the poisonous smoke is particularly effective against insects.

Taking advantage of this gap, Menpan rushed to Willow's side and jumped on his horse. The horse neighed and galloped.

The spiders were even more enraged and chased after him.

Not only are there these followers behind the horses' hooves, but spiders are also falling from the treetops. They land on people or horses and bite them when they open their mouths.

Just cleaning these is a mess.

Fortunately, the guide was qualified, and there was indeed a deep pool more than ten feet away. Everyone jumped directly into the pool, causing water to splash everywhere.

Sure enough, the spider stopped at the water's edge and hissed at everyone. A few seemed to be carried away by anger and even tried to enter the water, but were immediately swept away by the current.

The other spider monsters were surrounding the shore, and there was a huge black sea, but they couldn't do anything to the humans.

As soon as everyone calmed down, they let out a long sigh.

Menpan jumped into the water, held the horse's head and kept comforting it: "I remember that spiders can swim in the water. God knows, but these can't!"

Liu Tiao said sternly, "The spiders you have seen can swim only because they are small! Look at how big these are."

Most spiders cannot swim, but because they are too light, they can move by relying on the surface tension of the water. If they were replaced with soapy water, they would sink immediately. These spider monsters in front of them are as big as cats, how can they expect tension?

The guide shouted at the spider monsters a few times, asking them why they attacked humans.

Most of the spiders all over the mountains here are ordinary burrow spiders. Only the particularly large ones have become monsters and stay behind the spider group. But these things don't seem to have high IQs, they just opened their mouthparts and hissed threats at him, as if they didn't want to communicate.

"Put out the torch." He Lingchuan suggested, "I think the firelight can't scare away the spiders, but it will attract more hatred."

Liu Tong did not accept it, and only said to the guide: "Go north and get rid of them!"

Thanks to the rain a few days ago, the Ghost Needle Stone Forest is now full of moisture, and the stream is deeper and wider. As long as the horses and the shore are kept away, the spiders will not pose a threat. It is easy to deal with the occasional strands of spider silk.

The guide stepped deep and shallow in the water, and explained to everyone: "These burrow spiders eat everything, from small birds to large wild boars and bears, but they ignore people. I have been to the Ghost Needle Stone Forest for 17 or 18 times, and this is the first time I have seen them attack humans!"

"Why don't they eat people normally?"

"I heard that they are restricted by the local mountains and swamps and are not allowed to prey on humans. As long as humans don't cause trouble for them." The guide sighed, "There are too many burrow spiders in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest. They are the kings here. They will come out in full force when they encounter something difficult. Who dares to cause trouble for them?"

"Ba Ling people." Liu Tong said in a deep voice, "No wonder they didn't enter the stone forest. It turns out that they have already angered the burrow spiders and are waiting for us to fall into their trap."

At this moment, the rescued people also came up to thank them.

They were from other teams, and were dispersed by the madly surging spider swarm halfway through. There were originally more than 30 people, more than a dozen horses, and three trucks, but now there are only these few left, and even the captain has died.

The threat of being buried in the spider's mouth was temporarily gone, and a merchant fell into the water with a splash. His companions helped him up and saw that he was unconscious, his cheeks were swollen, and his eyebrows were green.

Another patrolman also had a wound on his neck, but he only had dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath.

"Poisoned."

Spiders will inject toxins into their prey, making them unable to move or even comatose, and dissolve their bodies for the spider to absorb. These things have been promoted to monsters, and the toxins are obviously stronger, but the soldiers of Panlong City will carry emergency medicines with them when they go to war, most of which contain detoxification pills, so they will quickly feed the wounded with medicine.

The army of Panlong City has Yuanli to protect itself, and its resistance to toxins is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The patrolmen and merchants were bitten by spiders, and the contrast of their injuries was obvious.

After taking the medicine, the merchant was still unconscious, but the swelling on his body slowly subsided, so everyone had to tie him to the horse; the patrolman got better after a few dozen breaths, the pus and blood squeezed out of the wound turned from green to red, and the dizziness disappeared, although he was still a little unsteady when walking.

This was a dark and thin man, who seemed not to like talking, and only introduced himself as Sun Jiayuan.

Another rescued merchant pointed at Sun Jiayuan and cursed: "What kind of road are you leading! Don't you boast that you know the Ghost Needle Stone Forest like the back of your hand? How come you don't even know that spiders are afraid of water, but you only know how to climb the slope and fight those monsters! We have wasted so many lives and lost the goods."

Sun Jiayuan's Adam's apple moved, and he endured it.

The merchant continued to curse.

He Lingchuan saw that Sun Jiayuan's hand had touched the handle of the knife, and his face was swollen red.

This is not a good-tempered person either.

"Hey!" Willow couldn't bear it any longer, "If the patrol guards hadn't fought to the death, you would have turned into a pool of pus and been sucked into the stomach of the spiders."

At this time, a ball of green fireworks exploded in the night sky in the northwest, attracting the spiders on the shore to look back.

Everyone saw it, but they were unmoved.

After a few dozen breaths, two balls of red fireworks rose into the sky in the northeast.

After a while, two balls of white fireworks also lit up in the east.

Liu Tong then said, "The signal has come, and the large army will gather in the northeast." He asked the guide, "Is there an exit in the northeast of Shilin? Can we reach it by following the river?"

At the oath-taking meeting before departure, General Nan Ke temporarily issued an order that the army in the wild would gather with the red fire rising into the sky as a signal, and those who saw it should rush there immediately.

Other signals are to confuse the enemy.

Now that two balls of red fire have risen into the sky, at least two hints are given to the patrol guards including He Lingchuan:

First, the inexplicably violent burrow spiders did cause a lot of trouble to the entire army, and many teams were separated by the collision of the spider group. The home team then sent a message for everyone to assemble.
