Chapter 357 The Stuff Inside the Spider

Watching Yang Lei's two legs slowly disappear into the giant mouth of the seal spider, Chen Ziyang knew that Yang Lei had already got in, so he could only wait outside silently, and could not do other things. Guess what exactly is inside the body of the seal spider.

Maybe it was afraid of hurting Yang Lei who had entered his body. At this time, the seal spider lay there motionless, with its mouth wide open, waiting quietly like Chen Ziyang.

Even if you don't look at the huge abdomen of the seal spider, the length of the spider's body and head alone is almost as long as two Yang Leis. Chen Ziyang estimates that crawling inside the spider's body must be quite laborious, and it seems that he will have to wait a while to get it Knowing the result, he turned his gaze to the direction of the ancient tree.

The beam of light made up of the soul is shining with dazzling white light, and the thick beam of light continuously transports the soul into the ancient tree. Now the entire ancient tree is almost covered with new buds, and the roots around the ancient tree even grow. With some thicker branches and forks, it seems that the restoration of vitality of the ancient tree is already a certainty, but I don't know what the dryad will look like after the restoration of vitality.

Although Chen Ziyang was extremely anxious, but now he has nothing to do with this ancient tree, he can only hope that his guess is correct.

Recalling all the previous clues, Chen Ziyang finally connected all the clues together.He already knew before that the old king of this ancient country knew what the tree demon did, and even had regrets, and it was very likely that he had been looking for a way to restrain the tree demon, and these seal spiders Most likely the old king got it here.

Judging from the roots that were gnawed by the seal spiders before, Chen Ziyang estimated that these seal spiders have a certain restraint effect on the dryads, and it is even very possible that these spiders were already in the trees long before the outbreak of the human-tree war. The root system of the demon body began to gnaw, slowly destroying the root of the tree demon.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the people of the ancient country of Yumi were able to temporarily defeat the tree demon during the human-tree war, and escaped from the clutches of the tree demon.

And those creatures that look like lizard shadows are most likely creatures transformed from the soul of the dryad, and their purpose is to deal with the seal spiders that are eating their bodies.

Since entering this underground world, apart from the huge seal spider in front of him, Chen Ziyang has seen a lot more lizard shadow creatures than seal spiders. It seems that the dryad's resistance also has a certain effect.If it weren't for these lizard shadow creatures hunting the seal spiders, the tree monster's root system might have been gnawed by the spiders long ago.

The reason why the old king of the ancient country of Yumi chose to become the puppet of the tree demon was to enable the people of the ancient country of Yumi to survive the drought.And the reason why he found the seal spider to deal with the tree demon should also be to save the residents of the ancient country of Yumi.

Chen Ziyang had no way of judging whether the choice of the king of the ancient kingdom of Yumi to submit to the tree demon was correct.If there was no water source provided by the dryad, it is very likely that the residents of the ancient country of Mimi would have died of thirst in the drought.And if the old king hadn't silently resisted later, it is very likely that the residents of the ancient country of Yumi would have become the food of the tree demon long ago.

The reason why the king's gold belt buckle is exactly the same as the pattern on the seal spider's abdomen is a reminder left by the old king to future generations.It is very likely that the old king knew that his resistance would not be effective in a short period of time, so he left the clues and kept them in the gold belt buckle, so that those who later resisted the tree demon could borrow their own. Seal spider.

And the reason why the old king didn't let the people of the ancient country of Yumi fight against the tree demon was because he felt that the time was not ripe enough, and the extent of the seal spider's damage to the tree demon had not yet reached its maximum.If the residents of the ancient Yumi country could endure for a while longer, it is very likely that there would not be so many people sacrificed in the human tree war.

Chen Ziyang, who had figured all this out, couldn't help admiring the old king's intelligence and endurance. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to endure such a long time under the rule of the tree demon.

Judging from the old king's silent carved stone tablet, the old king's heart has long been full of guilt for the residents of the ancient Yumi country, which is why the old king did not leave the ancient Yumi country with other people, but chose to stay.

After thinking through all this, Chen Ziyang suddenly understood the cause of the old king's death. He finally understood why the old king's body was hanging on the thorns of the tree roots in the passage.That's because the old king committed suicide, not because he was pushed onto the spikes as judged by the team doctor before.

The old king gained immortality under the power of the dryad.For hundreds of years, he watched his residents become the food of the dryad one by one, but there was no way to fight against the dryad.This kind of suffering that lasted for hundreds of years was really a kind of torture for a conscientious person like the old king.

After the people in the ancient country of Yumi escaped from danger, the old king did not choose to continue to live, but after leaving clues on the stele, he jumped forward and let the sharp thorns on the roots penetrate his body directly, ending He took his own life, and finally freed himself from hundreds of years of guilt.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Ziyang's heart was filled with various feelings.Unexpectedly, there was such an episode interspersed in the whole thing, such a touching story interspersed.

If another person became the king of the ancient Yumi country, it is very likely that all the people of the ancient Yumi country would have died tragically, and the tree demon is likely to harm more people in the past 2000 years.From these aspects, the old king of the ancient country of Yumi can be regarded as doing a good deed to the world.

Therefore, Chen Ziyang guessed that the things that might be hidden in the body of this huge seal spider should be some methods or artifacts that can control the seal spider. It was the last resort left by the old king of the ancient country to deal with the tree demon. .

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang's confidence increased greatly.Since this huge seal spider can still survive in the dryad's body for 2000 years, it is enough to prove that the old king's method is correct, and the spider should be able to deal with the dryad.He couldn't help being full of hope, eagerly looking forward to Yang Lei getting out of the spider's body and bringing him good news.

"Wooooow..." At this moment, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from the spider's body.Chen Ziyang lowered his head, only to realize that at some point Yang Lei's two calves had withdrawn from the spider's mouth, but these two calves were constantly swinging up and down, obviously Yang Lei wanted him to help , It seems that he accidentally got stuck in the spider's body.

Going forward in a hurry, Chen Ziyang grabbed Yang Lei's two feet, and with a sudden force, he pulled Yang Lei completely out of the seal spider's body.

"Damn it, it's suffocating me!" Yang Lei, who was pulled out, let out a long breath, gasping for fresh air hastily.

Chen Ziyang saw that Yang Lei's body was covered with some milky white mucus at this time, and he looked very disgusted.Fortunately, Yang Lei was not injured. He hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you see anything inside?"

"Bah!" Yang Lei spat out the mucus in his mouth, wiped his face with his right hand, picked his two nostrils and said: "Er Yang, you are amazing, how do you know that this spider can't Bite me, don't tell me, there is really something in the spider's stomach, it looks like a box, but I can't take it off, it looks like I need to use a knife."

After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang showed a satisfied smile on his face.No matter what is in the spider's stomach, it will definitely play a certain role, and it may even become the key to dealing with the dryad.

Seeing Yang Lei's panting condition was not very good, Chen Ziyang knew that he could only rely on himself if he wanted to get the stuff out of the spider's stomach as soon as possible.So he patted Yang Lei on the shoulder, motioned Yang Lei to stay here and rest well, and then he came to the spider with the ancient Xuanming sword in hand.

After turning on the flashlight, Chen Ziyang bent down and was about to drill into the spider's mouth, but at this moment, the big mouth of the seal spider, which had been open all the time, bit down fiercely.Fortunately, Chen Ziyang reacted quickly, after he hastily shrank his head, he just felt as if something was rubbing against his hair.

Seeing the closed spider's mouth, Chen Ziyang was afraid for a while, if he had shrunk a little slower just now, his head would be bitten off by this seal spider.

After one bite, the seal spider is not considered a game, and it tried to chase Chen Ziyang with its eight legs, but at this time, the seal spider had no strength, and its eight sharp claws were on the ground. After a few strokes, the seal spider couldn't stand up, so it could only retract its claws feebly.

After stroking his hair, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten one of the most important things, so he hurried to Yang Lei's side, groped around Yang Lei's body, trying to find the golden belt buckle.

After touching for a while, Chen Ziyang finally found what he was looking for at Yang Lei's back.It turned out that Yang Lei put the belt buckle in his underwear before, but when he repeatedly avoided the seal spider, the belt buckle popped out of his pocket and was caught by the clothes he stuffed in his trousers. Under his repeated movements, he rolled to the position of the lower back, no wonder he didn't find it before.

After putting the gold belt buckle on his body, Chen Ziyang walked towards the seal spider again. This time, the seal spider did not show the consciousness of attacking, but slowly opened its big mouth as before, quietly Waiting for Chen Ziyang to enter.

"Eryang, be careful when you go in and out. There is a very narrow place. I was stuck there just now. Also, the smell inside is really bad and there is little air. You'd better hold your breath I can hold it for as long as I can, and now I still feel nauseous." Seeing that Chen Ziyang was about to get into the spider's stomach, Yang Lei kindly reminded him.

After holding his breath, Chen Ziyang slowly crawled into the spider's mouth.

Except for some mucus on the side wall of the spider's mouth, the environment here is slightly better than Chen Ziyang imagined, and the spider's mouth is also slightly wider than he imagined.

After getting through a valve, Chen Ziyang came to the relatively narrow place that Yang Lei said, and then he suddenly heard a series of strange sounds coming from nowhere.

The sound sounded like the sound in the throat of a man who had been smoking for decades when he was suffering from bronchitis.Recalling the heavy panting sound made by the spider before, Chen Ziyang estimated that it was the sound made by the seal spider's book lungs when breathing.

Compared with other insects, spiders not only have a trachea, but also have one of the most special respiratory organs in their body, the book lung.The lungs of spiders are not vesicle-shaped like the lungs of other animals, but are composed of many thin leaf-like objects. These thin sheet-like objects are stacked together to look like a book. So people vividly call it book lung.

Chen Ziyang estimated that this relatively narrow place should be the place where the spider's head and body are connected. When passing through this place, there was a strong squeeze feeling from the flesh and blood of the surrounding spiders.He could only shake his body desperately, squeezing himself forward from this relatively narrow place bit by bit.

It is also fortunate that Chen Ziyang has practiced Qigong. If it were someone else, he would definitely consume a lot of oxygen because of the violent movements when passing here. It is no wonder that Yang Lei keeps complaining that the place smells bad.

After feeling the pressure on his pelvis disappear suddenly, Chen Ziyang knew that he had already passed through that relatively narrow place, and he should have entered the body of the seal spider.

At this time, he took a flashlight to look around, and suddenly found that there seemed to be something not far from him.After crawling forward a few times among a large pile of mucus, Chen Ziyang came to this thing.

A dark cube-shaped thing was wrapped in the flesh of some spiders.Chen Ziyang touched it with his hands. Although there is a layer of flesh and blood blocking it, the box-like thing still feels very hard to the touch. It seems that the box has been placed in the spider's body for a long time. The spider's new flesh and blood It has been completely integrated with this box.

After struggling to pull out the Xuanming ancient sword in this narrow space, Chen Ziyang carefully pinched the sword body with his fingers, and slid around the box. Now he doesn't care whether the seal spider will hurt or not. , Bit by bit, the spider flesh covering the box was cut open.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyang's ancient Xuanming sword was not too long. If he changed to a longer sword, it would be very difficult to move the sword in this extremely narrow space.

After peeling off the black box with a layer of flesh from the spider's body, Chen Ziyang didn't bother to examine it carefully, just grabbed the box and slowly backed away.

Chen Ziyang, who crawled out of the spider's body, heaved a sigh of relief, then he wiped off the mucus on his body, and looked at the box in his hand.
