Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 120 IX Crypt Black Spider

The dark cave leads to the unpredictable depths of the ground. Since the passage is relatively narrow, the tall and burly Thunder Beast guards had to line up in a long line and move forward step by step carefully under the leadership of Leon and Qiangwei. 【】

The light of the torches illuminated the long tunnel, and the ground was covered with messy gravel. From time to time, water seeped out from the cracks in the top wall and fell on the soldiers. If they were not careful, they might slip on the mud.

"This passage was dug out by goblins, it didn't take long..." An Lan who was following Leon said softly.

Traces of chiseling can be seen everywhere on the rock wall. There are very few passages from the underground world to the ground, and most of them are excavated by underground goblins. Unbelievable enthusiasm.

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

The trend of the crypt passage is gradually descending, and the length is astonishing. A group of nearly a hundred people walked for almost half an hour, and Leon, who was walking in the front, suddenly became enlightened.

The end of the passage is a huge underground space, with a radius of two to three hundred steps. You can reach the high dome by looking up, and there is a small underground river flowing through it a dozen feet below.

The circular underground space looks like a hub to connect various passages, and there are four holes around it leading to unknown areas, but there are no black elves or goblins, except for the rushing sound of the river flowing. other movements.

Although there is no sunlight here deep into the ground, it is definitely not pitch black. There are half a foot tall plants beside the dark river below. There are dots of buds dotted between the dark green stalks and leaves, emitting a soft light blue light. .

These peculiar plants spread all the way to the vicinity of the entrance of the passage, and the light of thousands of buds gathered together, illuminating the entire space. Without a torch, Leon could clearly see the scene in every corner.

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

"This should be the turning point of the passage dug by the goblins. Those holes lead to different places, some can go directly to the ground, and some go deep underground, or it will be the next turning point, and it may also directly reach the real underground world."

As a black elf, although An Lan's race left the underground world thousands of years ago, their connection with the underground world has never really been severed, so they still have a good understanding of the underground situation.

It is precisely because of this that Leon brought her here this time. If the captured prisoners were to be forced to confess, she would also be required to translate. Those underground black elves generally do not understand the common language of the mainland.

The Thunder Beast guards all came out of the passage, and everyone walked along the slope into a relatively open area, and many soldiers looked around curiously.

Everything in the underground world is completely strange to them.

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

For thousands of years, tens of millions of goblins in the underground world have been digging tirelessly. While expanding the space of the underground world, they have also dug out countless underground passages.

These passages are criss-crossed and dense like a spider. If someone who is not familiar with them rushes in, it is very likely that they will be completely trapped in the maze of tunnels and cannot find their way back.

Fortunately, Qiangwei held the tracking weapon of the silver-threaded golden raccoon in Qiangwei's hands. She took out the little guy hidden in the animal bag and let it look for the traces left by the black elf.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, the golden squirrel jumped from Qiangwei's hand and landed on the ground. It raised its head and extended its nose to sniff vigorously, then bounced towards a hole on the right.

After jumping over the dark river, which was only a few feet wide, the golden squirrel rushed to the entrance of the cave. It stopped there, lowered its head and sniffed the ground several times, and then carefully crawled into the passage.

Squeak!

But the next moment, the little guy seemed to have encountered the most terrifying natural enemy, and suddenly screamed sharply, turned around and fled.

It quickly ran back to Qiangwei's side, and got into the animal skin pocket again, looking quite frightened.

what happened?Leon and Qiangwei looked at each other.

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

"Defensive formation, ready to fight!"

Leon never doubted his intuition, he immediately gave the order.

The guards faithfully carried out his order, and immediately formed a defensive formation to protect the vulnerable mages and scouts. Bows and crossbows were fired one after another, and the underground space was immediately filled with the tense atmosphere before the battle.

sand!sand!sand!

Suddenly, there was a sound from the entrance of the cave that the silver-threaded golden squirrel had just sniffed, as if many things were crawling out from inside.

The sound is getting denser and denser, and in this claustrophobic underground space, people can't help but feel creepy.

Without Leon's order, the guards turned their crossbows and aimed at the hole.

hiss!

A group of dark figures suddenly flew out of the cave, and it quickly rolled down the slope below the passage to the opposite side of the dark river, stopped at a place not more than twenty or thirty steps away from the guards, and suddenly spread out. Eight hairy long legs.

This is an impressively huge black spider, it is as tall as half a person, its arthropod spider legs are seven or eight feet wide when opened, and it is densely covered with sharp thorn-like bristles.

The round belly wrapped in the black armor was bulging, and a pair of scarlet spider eyes stared fixedly at Leon and the others. The two scimitar-like fangs on the left and right kept clenching together, showing a ferocious look!

hiss!hiss!hiss!

This terrifying black spider is just a vanguard, it just showed its claws and claws, and from the hole at the top of the back, black shadows flew out one after another, rolled down and unfolded one by one, all of them were exactly the same big guy!

In just a few seconds, the number of spiders suddenly increased to more than a dozen, and it continued to increase.

"Attack!" Leon shouted sharply.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Dozens of crossbow bolts shot out from among the guards and landed on the spiders.

But these powerful crossbow arrows did not produce the desired effect. After most of the arrows hit the spiders, they were opened by the hard shell on their bodies, and they were not damaged at all.

Only a few crossbow bolts luckily landed on the joints of several spiders, barely piercing through.

The spiders were completely irritated. They hissed extremely unpleasantly, and opened their mouths to spit out strands of silver-white spider silk. They flew over a distance of dozens of steps and landed on the shields and feet of the guards.

Each strand of these spider silks was about three fingers thick, and the tip was extremely sticky. Once it got stuck to something, it would be pulled back immediately, and the shields of a dozen warriors were stuck and pulled away.

Unfortunately, the ankles of two soldiers were entangled by the spider silk, and they were dragged down to the ground by the spiders and dragged towards the other side of the river!

"Everyone be careful!"

While avoiding a bunch of spider threads, Leon practiced swinging the Lei Yan saber to cut off the spider threads entangled with the warrior.

"Hold on, stay in line!"

laugh!laugh!

Four or five strands of spider silk shot towards Leon at the same time, even though he dodged as fast as he could, a bundle of spider silk still stuck to the soul armor.

But the sticking part burst into flames, emitting a scorching and scorching smell. The black spider that succeeded in sneak attacking Leon was taken aback, pulled back the spider web and backed several steps involuntarily.

Afraid of fire?Leon immediately shouted loudly: "Throw all the torches over there, Aklan!"

More than a dozen torches were thrown over, accompanied by fireballs released by the mage, one by one burning flames fell on the spider swarm.

Squeak!

The spiders were thrown into chaos immediately. Some of them were thrown by the torches, and they were scalded and jumped around.

Spiders are really afraid of fire, especially the spider silk they spit out is easy to catch. Once the fire hits, the spiders suddenly fall into chaos like ants that exploded their nests.

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

Seeing such a scene, Aklan among the teams waved his staff frequently, not stingy with his magic power, and blasted out a series of fireballs.

Boo!

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

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

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

An Lan reminded Leon loudly that she couldn't help in the battle, but she was familiar with the underground world.

"kill!"

Leon waved his weapon to meet the spiders rushing across the dark river, Lei Yan's saber swelled red, and slashed at the head of a crypt black spider with lightning speed.

The head of the Crypt Black Spider suddenly burst, black and green body fluids splashed in all directions, and it fell directly to the ground.

Leon, who succeeded in the blow, jumped up vigorously, stepped heavily on its corpse with his right foot, used his strength to fly over ten feet in the air, and just landed on the opposite bank of the dark river.

The two crypt black spiders next to him hurriedly turned their heads and opened their fangs to bite him. Leon suddenly rushed forward to avoid their interception, swung his sword and chopped down a black spider blocking the way.

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

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Five or six feathered arrows suddenly flew out of the hole!
