Chapter 3403 Artifact
The glacier meanders at the foot of the mountain, with the outflowing area being more completely eroded, while the journey towards the source is filled with various types of erosion holes.

The degree of corrosion in these holes varies, some lasting longer than others.

There are holes and passages that are three to five meters long, some that are more than ten meters long, and some that are even more than a hundred meters long.

Ice water occasionally overflows from the numerous holes, eventually converging into a stream.

Following the overflow hole identified by Montesbatton, the glacial water ahead became increasingly shallow.

The water, which is several meters deep, is only ankle-deep by the time it reaches the source; the water is so shallow that it is almost negligible.

"This is it!"

Montespatton, who was leading the group, stopped and pointed to some remaining spider corpses ahead.

“I had been walking along the glacier and saw spider corpses at the source, which led me to a gap. By digging a bit, I was able to reach the top!”

"Is the Spider God's Cave at the top?"

"You still have to walk a hundred or two meters, but once you get out of the passage, you'll definitely see everything at the end!"

"Barton, do you want me to break your leg right now?"

"I'm perfectly sober now, and I haven't run away. Wait a minute before you hit me!"

After a few murmurs, the group slowly moved forward through the hole, which was only half a person's height.

The narrow terrain made Zhang Hao and the others frown repeatedly, feeling that such terrain would make it impossible to escape quickly if they encountered risks, and it was completely unsuitable for a team, only suitable for a single person to hide and conceal themselves.

Of course, this terrain has the advantage of preventing Montesbatton from being drawn away by evil intentions.

In front of Montesbatton were Zhang Xuezhou and Zhou Rihui, and behind them was Zhou Xin, with Naggus crammed behind Zhou Xin.

Naggs ignored it; Montesbatton was sandwiched between passages and blocked from both the front and back, making escape impossible.

"Back off! Back off!"

The ear-piercing sound of slicing rang out, and Zhou Rihui urged them to retreat repeatedly.

The force of being pushed backwards from the front caused many people to collide with each other.

"Damn it, I wanted to ambush them, but I ended up being ambushed by them instead. This passage was discovered a long time ago. It's one thing for Patton to be unreliable, but this passage is unreliable too!"

Nagos swayed, couldn't help but curse, and then quickly asked a question.

How is Professor Zhang doing?

The sound of the collision came extremely quickly, as if a long sword had sliced ​​through metal, and then the sound faded away as the sword was swept back.

The collision that sent everyone staggering backward proved the immense power of the impact. If this power were combined with a sharp strike, the resulting force would be extremely deadly.

Several voices rang out in succession, and everyone was clearly paying attention to Zhang Xuezhou's situation at the forefront.

"difficult to handle!"

Zhang Xuezhou's brief warning came through, and while many people felt relieved, they also realized how formidable their opponent was, and they quickly gripped their genetic weapons tightly.

"It really hurts!"

When Sunday Hui called out, Montesbatton's pained cry was heard again.

"It must be the power released by that divine artifact. Every time we fight, we get injured, and our bodies feel like they're being pricked by needles!"

"What kind of power is this?"

Montesbarton made a swift judgment, which made everyone gasp.

"If you encounter a spider attack, you either have to kill it with one blow or avoid it; otherwise, you'll definitely be the one who suffers!"

Montesbatton's warning had barely faded when he inevitably let out another cry of pain.

Clearly, knowing is one thing, doing is another, and Montespatton was not immune to making mistakes in his actions.

The light from the flares began to appear in the cave, their dazzling glow far exceeding the brightness of the searchlights.

For more than ten seconds, the blinding light illuminated every part of the dark cave, even the underground caverns themselves were bathed in light. Piercing and shrill screams filled the air.

As Zhang Xuezhou's gaze swept across the space of over a hundred square meters, he saw Montes Bingo appear fifty meters away. The other party crawled down, holding a short, silvery-white cone with two pointed ends. Then, his body quickly split open, and a human-faced spider with a purple glow emerged.

Just like the spider-like creatures they encountered in Brampeda, they now had a second encounter in this cave.

Moreover, this human-faced spider's ability to mimic is even closer to reality. The face it presents is extremely realistic, unlike the strange woman Zhang Xuezhou and the others had seen before. It is even wearing Montespino's clothes.

If Montespatton hadn't repeatedly changed his team, and hadn't always been a hit-and-run operation, the probability of his entire group being wiped out if the enemy had infiltrated his ranks would have been extremely high.

Touching his still throbbing head, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his head had been cracked open by the other person.

He glanced at the large spider that was tearing and clawing at him, then quickly surveyed his surroundings, grabbing another flare in his hand.

"Get lost, ouch!"

When Zhou Rihui crushed the spider that had crawled onto his head with one hand, his face showed pain, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, bending over.

“Brother Zhou, I feel like these things are just like you, they hurt terribly when you hit them,” Zhou Rihui exclaimed.

"These little creatures won't kill us, let's leave them alone for now. Anran and the professor will come out and control them in a bit!"

In the blinding light that illuminated him once again, Zhang Xuezhou stared intently at the human-faced spider, and at the short, silvery-white cone he had tried to snatch during the attack.

"That's the divine artifact you were talking about?"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Montesbatton, which prompted Montesbatton to nod repeatedly.

"Is it a descendant?" Zhang Xuezhou asked again.

"I don't know. Perhaps it's a descendant, or perhaps it's just a guard by the Spider God's side!"

Seeing Montes Bingo's image transform into a spider sent a chill down Montes Barton's spine.

The individual strengths of the ferocious spider beasts and the Spider God Guardians are similar, but the latter has a higher status and authority. For example, they can use divine artifacts when faced with an insurmountable crisis, or command spider swarms, or even order the ferocious spider beasts to fight regardless of their own lives.

"I didn't see the Spider God ritual here. Be careful, and try to find the source of the evil as soon as possible!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a warning and began to move slowly, constantly adjusting the position of the poisonous tree staff in his hand.

Although he didn't know how to control the artifact, he had personally grasped the silver-white short cone and knew that there was no problem with him handling it.

If this artifact that creates regional effects is thrown far away, then this place will be caught in a dilemma: whether to fight or not.

"cut!"

A sensation of needles pricking his feet surged through Zhang Xuezhou's mind. He saw that a spider the size of a fingernail had been crushed into a lump of mud by him.

Spiders occasionally tried to climb onto Zhang Xuezhou, only to be brushed away by layers of flowing light.

In such areas, avoiding the deaths and injuries of spiders is more difficult than killing ferocious beasts.

Zhang Xuezhou's body also has the ability to avoid spiders from getting on it. For example, Zhou Rihui's invisibility cloak was torn and his body was covered with spiders. Even if he sprayed insect repellent perfume, it would not have any effect. Montespatton also quietly activated his domain ability, coating his body with a layer of iron film to avoid them.

Zhou Xin, who was behind him, groaned repeatedly, clearly feeling extremely uncomfortable from being bitten.

"This situation is truly a blood feud!"

Naggus muttered to himself, and could only pull the invisibility cloak covering his entire body tighter.

"We don't have much time!"

Naggs let out a shout.

Invisibility cloaks are not made of metal; such materials will inevitably be bitten through.

Even if these cave spiders didn't bite through the cloak of invisibility, their bites still caused a stinging pain to the skin.

He squeezed the switch, and when it was turned on, he saw the spider jumping down and then leaping onto Zhou Xin in front of him. He knew that the invisibility cloak was still useful, so he couldn't help but give him a few more instructions.

But things were indeed as Naggs said. The group didn't have much time. The invisibility cloaks had a time limit and would be bitten off by the spiders. And the spiders facing them weren't stupid; they would definitely attack the group.

When Zhang Xuezhou threw the third flare, a sharp, piercing sound rang out again.
