Chapter 129: The Black Spider in the Crypt

The dark cave leads to the unpredictable depths of the underground. Due to the narrow passage, the tall and burly guards of the thunder beast had to line up in a long row and move forward carefully step by step under the guidance of Leon and Rose.

The light of the torch illuminated the long tunnel, and the ground was covered with messy gravel. From time to time, water penetrated out from the gaps in the top wall and fell on the soldiers. If you were not careful, you might step on the mud and slip.

"This passage was excavated by the geological spirit, and it didn't take a long time..." An Lan, who was following Leon, said softly.

The traces of chiseling can be seen everywhere on the rock walls. There are very few channels to the ground in the underground world naturally formed, and not part of them were excavated by underground terrain. This underground race, which once had a brilliant civilization, has an unimaginable enthusiasm for burrowing and mining.

This time, Leon only left Concordia and ten guards guarding at the entrance of the cave outside, and all the others participated to ensure that they had enough strength to face possible dangers.

The trend of the crypt channel gradually declined, and the length was surprising. When a team of nearly 100 people walked almost half of the sand, Leon, who was walking in front of the front, suddenly became clear.

The end of the passage is a huge underground space, with a radius of about two or three hundred steps. You can see the high dome, and there is a small underground river flowing by more than ten feet below.

The circular underground space looks like a center to connect the channels. There are four holes around it leading to unknown areas, but there are no black elves or goblins, and there is no other movement except the rustling sound of the river flowing.

Although there is no sunlight when you go deep into the ground, it is definitely not dark and you can't see your fingers. There are half-foot-high plants next to the dark green stems and leaves, emitting a soft light blue light.

These strange plants spread to the vicinity of the passageway entrance, and the light of thousands of buds gathered together to illuminate the entire space. Without the need for torches, Leon could clearly see the scene in every corner.

"This is the blue night flower..." An Lan leaned over and picked a small bud from the ground next to the cave entrance and placed it between her palms: "It is our black elves' favorite plant. In addition to being used for lighting, its juice can be mixed into water and can also wash away dirt and delicate skin."

"This should be the transit point for the passage of geological excavation. Those entrances lead to different places. Some can reach the ground directly, while others can go deep into the ground, or they may be the next transit point, or they may directly reach the real underground world."

As a black elves, although Anlan's ethnic group left the underground world a thousand years ago, their connection with the underground world has never been truly cut off, so they still have a considerable understanding of the underground situation.

It is precisely because of this that Leon brought her over this time. If she forced the captured prisoners to confess, she would also need to translate them - those underground black elves generally do not understand the common language in the mainland.

The Thunder Beast Guards all walked out of the passage, and everyone walked along the slope and entered the relatively open area in the center. Many soldiers looked around curiously.

Everything in the underground world was completely unfamiliar to them.

There are four passages around, which is undoubtedly a test for Leon and others.

For thousands of years, millions of goblins in the underground world have been tirelessly digging, and while expanding the space of the underground world, they have also dug up countless underground passages.

These passages are crisscrossed like spider webs. If unfamiliar people rashly break in, they are very likely to completely fall into the authentic maze and find no way to find the way.

Fortunately, Qiangwei was holding the silver-lined golden rat, a tracking weapon, so she took out the little guy hidden in the beast bag and asked it to find the traces left by the black elf.

With everyone's expectant eyes, the golden rat jumped from Rose's hand and fell to the ground. It raised its head and stretched its nose and sniffed hard, then jumped and rushed towards a hole on the right.

Jumping over the dark river that was only a few feet wide, the golden rat rushed to the entrance of the cave. It stopped there, lowered its head and sniffed it repeatedly on the ground, and then carefully crawled into the passage.

Squeak!

But the next moment, the little guy seemed to have encountered the most terrifying natural enemy, suddenly let out a sharp scream, turned around and fled in panic.

It ran back to Rose quickly and crawled into the animal skin pocket again, looking very scared.

What's going on? Leon and Rose looked at each other.

For some reason, Leon suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, as if some danger was approaching them.

"Defensive formation, prepare for battle!"

Leon never doubted his intuition, and he made a quick decision to issue an order.

The guards faithfully executed his orders and immediately formed a defensive formation to protect the fragile mages and scouts in the middle. They blew crossbows and buckled arrows, and the underground space suddenly filled with the tension before the battle came.

Sand! Sand! Sand! Sand!

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the hole that the silver-lined golden rat had just sniffed, as if there were many things crawling out from inside.

The sound is getting denser, and in this claustrophobic underground space, it makes people feel creepy.

Without Leon's order, the guards turned the direction of the crossbow and pointed it at the hole together.

hiss!

A black figure suddenly flew out of the entrance of the cave. It quickly rolled down the slope below the passage to the opposite side of the river. It stopped only twenty or thirty steps away from the guards, and suddenly spread eight long furry legs.

This is a huge black spider, which is more than half a human tall, and the arthropod legs are seven or eight feet wide when they are spread out, and are covered with sharp-like hard hairs.

The round belly wrapped in black armor was bulging, and a pair of scarlet spider eyes were raised and staring at Leon and others. The two scimitar-like teeth on the left and right were biting, showing their ferociousness!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

This terrifying black spider was just a pioneer. It had just revealed its minions and flew out of the hole above the back, rolling down and unfolding one by one, all of which were exactly the same big guy!

In just a few seconds, the number of spiders suddenly increased to more than a dozen, and it was still increasing continuously.

"Attack!" Leon shouted sternly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of crossbow arrows flew out from the middle of the guards and fell into the middle of the spiders.

However, these powerful crossbow arrows did not produce the effect they should have. After most of the arrows hit the spiders, they were bounced open by the hard shell on their bodies, and they were completely unscathed.

Only a few crossbow arrows were lucky enough to shoot at the joints of several spiders and barely penetrated.

The spiders were completely angry. They made extremely unpleasant screams, and they opened their mouths and spurted silver-white spider silk, which quickly flew through dozens of steps and shot on the shield and under their feet.

Each of these spider silks is about three fingers in thickness, and the tip is extremely sticky. Once it sticks to something, it will immediately retract and pull it back. The shields in the hands of more than a dozen warriors were stuck and pulled apart.

Two soldiers were unfortunately wrapped around their ankles by spider silk, and were dragged to the ground by the spiders, dragging them to the other side of the river!

"Be careful, everyone!"

While avoiding a bunch of spider silk, Leon practiced waving the Thunder Flame Battle Knife and cut off the spider silk that was entangled in the warrior.

"Stay steady, keep the queue!"

Scream! Scream!

Four or five spider silks shot towards Leon at the same time. Although he dodged at the fastest speed, a bunch of spider silk still hit and stuck to the soul armor.

But the sticky part blew up and emitted a burning and stinking smell. The black spider who had sneaked into Leon's hand pulled it empty, pulled back the spider silk and took it back several steps.

Fear of fire? Leon immediately shouted loudly: "Drop all the torches, Akran!"

More than a dozen torches were thrown over, and the fireballs released by the mage came, burning flames fell into the spider group.

Squeak!

The spiders were suddenly in chaos. Some of them were thrown on their bodies by torches, and they were so hot that they jumped around. Some were hit by the fireballs and their stomachs were overturned on the spot.

The spiders were indeed afraid of fire, especially the spider silk they spit out was slight. As soon as the fire attacked, the spiders suddenly fell into chaos like ants that exploded.

The spiders that were not affected by the flames began to retreat, and their fear of the flames made them give up their attack.

Seeing this scene, Akran in the middle of the team frequently waved his staff, not hesitating to his magic, and blasted out a series of fireballs.

Trepid! ~

Seeing that the spiders were about to collapse completely, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.

Hearing this sound, all the spiders seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They no longer retreated and ran away. They jumped up against the fireball and rushed towards the direction where Leon and others were.

"It's a wizard, there's a wizard controlling the black spider in the crypt!"

Anlan loudly reminded Leon that she could not help in the battle, but she was unparalleled in the familiarity of the underground world.

"kill!"

Leon waved his weapon to face the spiders rushing across the river. The red light of the Thunder Flame Battle Sword skyrocketed, and he slashed on the head of a black spider in the crypt with a thunderous force.

The head of the black spider in the crypt suddenly cracked, and black and green body fluids splattered everywhere, and they fell directly to the ground.

Leon, who succeeded in one blow, jumped up with force, stepped on its corpse with his right foot, and flew over ten feet to the sky, just landing on the other side of the river.

The two crypted black spiders next to him quickly turned their heads and spread their teeth and bit them at him. Leon suddenly rushed forward and avoided their interception. He swung his sword and chopped over the black spider blocking the road ahead to the ground.

He quickly rushed to the slope, less than ten steps from the entrance of the cave.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
