The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 233 Monster Swarm
Mei Li is no more flexible than Lin Tianci, even if she is not wearing armor now, it is impossible for her to jump directly on a dry land.So she only needs to use her physical strength to grab the place where she can strike and climb to the top of the rock.

She looked in the direction of the source of the sound, but couldn't see anything because of the fog, rain and woodland.If it weren't for the subtle rustling sound that was almost negligible, I almost thought it was an illusion.

"What do you see?"

"It's too dark around, I can't see clearly."

Even though the monk's six senses are relatively sharp, the influence of the environment is too serious, and Lin Tianci doesn't have special eye powers.He only saw a large group of things passing by in the woods in the distance, and he could also see a very inconspicuous yellow-green fluorescence.

Hearing Lin Tianci said that there was yellow-green fluorescence, Mei Li's face darkened, as if she had thought of something, she raised her finger to signal Lin Tianci not to speak.

At this time, a refreshing breeze came, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be blown away a lot by this wind. The thin dark clouds that blocked the moon slowly dispersed, and the cold moonlight returned to the earth.

Now that the dark clouds had dissipated, the fog and rain that had severely blocked the view just now had also weakened a lot. Coupled with the illumination of the moonlight, the two saw that what made the movement before was a large group of spider-like monsters.

They were the size of bicycles, and their bodies were translucent blue with a hint of mineral shimmer.The joints of the eight legs bulged with thick connective tissue, and every time they passed through the low bushes, they would make the rustling sound that Lin Tianci and the others heard before.

The strangest thing is their abdomen, which is completely different from ordinary spiders (it is impossible for ordinary spiders to grow so big). The protruding abdomen was shining with yellow-green fluorescent light in the movement of breathing, which was the fluorescent light that Lin Tianci saw just now.

This kind of spider Lin Tianci must have never heard of it, and the wilds of Eastern China are not so dangerous, especially looking at the number of those spiders, it is almost endless, and it is impossible to count how many there are.The dense and loose line seems to be heading in a certain direction, and the countless legs crowded together are very disgusting.

Let's put it this way, I was about to kneel when I saw it in horror.

Seeing this scene, Meili pressed Lin Tianci's shoulder and motioned him to lie down lower, as if trying to avoid attracting the attention of those spiders as much as possible.

She also lay down beside Lin Tianci, whispering:
"This is called a lantern spider. It's a group of monsters that live in groups and are quite dangerous. Usually, a group of this size requires thousands of adventurers to make a careful plan to encircle and suppress it to ensure safety."

Because Lin Tianci is a visitor from another world, Meili added:

"They will attack villages or cities before the annual autumn harvest, and they will eat all the organic matter that can satisfy their hunger. At the same time, their sensory organs are also very good. This situation was not relieved until the spices that expelled monsters came out."

I feel that these lantern spiders are equivalent to super-sized locust plagues, and they will be eaten up wherever they go.

However, unlike locusts, lantern spiders eat seasonally. Unless it is a specific day, they usually do not eat. Instead, they migrate in barren mountains and old forests to prevent the ecology of a place from being too severely damaged by them.

Their high, bulging, lantern-like bellies are actually something like a hump, which stores the nutrients accumulated during the feeding season to ensure that they will not starve to death when they are not eating.

As for the emitted yellow-green fluorescence, there are different opinions.

Some say that the nutrient solution stored by lantern spiders emits natural phosphorescence, while others say that the fluorescent light is the soul of the creatures they eat.

Regardless of the statement, there is no clear conclusion, but what is certain is that the fluorescence they emit is not to attract prey, but more like a warning deterrent, so that other hungry monsters can see their huge group, thereby avoiding it.

Whether there were such dangerous monsters in Eastern China a long time ago, Lin Tianci didn't know, at least not now, maybe they were all killed by the monks in ancient times, or maybe they didn't exist at all.

Now the biggest danger of traveling in the wild in Eastern China is nothing more than wild beasts or robbers. It is absolutely impossible for such a big and ridiculous spider to appear. Maybe you can find some in the depths of the southwest mountains.

Obviously, compared to Eastern Shenzhou, where there is no threat from the wild, the common people on this plane belong to the group who live in dire straits.It's no wonder that Mei Li felt that Eastern China is really a peaceful and good place after hearing what Lin Tianci said about Eastern China.

The perception of lantern spiders is very keen, and any creature that is about 100 meters away from them will be detected. Their sense of smell can even distinguish prey from one kilometer away and have a certain ability to communicate.

In other words, Lin Tianci and the others must have been discovered by the lantern spiders, but as Mei Li just said, unless it was the feeding season, the lantern spiders would only migrate and would not actively attack travelers.

Of course, it's another matter if the travelers are deliberately seeking death or blocking their migration route.

But also because of the keen sense of smell, it is strange to see a large number of lantern spiders here.

Although Lin Tianci and the others are on a hill, there is a dirt road not far below, and the spices that can drive away monsters are also placed on both sides of the road.

For lantern spiders, the smell of this spice is simply stinky, and it is nauseating to get close to it. Lantern spiders with a keen sense of smell are not in the feeding season, so they should not be so close to the road.

This may be what Mei Li said, it was the influence of the undead creatures that caused the local monsters to change.

Due to the high degree of danger of this thing, even knowing that they should not come to attack travelers, Meili did not dare to go back to sleep, but lay down on the rock with Lin Tianci and watched the team of lantern spiders gradually walk past .

At the same time, Lin Tianci heard some strange sounds again. Unlike the lantern spiders, it seemed to be some kind of winged creature flapping and flying past, and the number was also not small.

The source of the sound was far behind them. Lin Tianci and Mei Li hurriedly turned around. This time they saw a large group of monsters that looked like chickens but had a snake tail passing through the woods on the other side.

Their body size can be compared to that of an ostrich, and they obviously look like a chicken, with a mouth full of fangs.

The way it moves is similar to that of a chicken, speeding up for a while and then jumping up, flapping its wings vigorously.

Seeing this, Mei Li's face was more serious than seeing the lantern spider, and she said:

"This is a cockatrice. It's not as sensitive as a lantern spider in terms of perception, and its eyesight is also poor, but they have the ability to petrify attacks."

"Petrochemical?"

"They will be turned into stone statues. Be especially careful when fighting them. Once you are affected by the petrification effect, if you don't remove it as soon as possible, you will only get corpses even if you remove it later."

Once again, the wilds of the wizarding world are so dangerous!
Based on this alone, Lin Tianci began to miss Eastern Shenzhou, and the taste of food and drinks in Eastern Shenzhou was more in line with him...

Less than a day after leaving Eastern China, Lin Tianci began to miss home, mainly because the magic world was too stupid.

And Mei Li's serious expression is not just because the cockatrice is difficult to deal with, nor is it because both the lantern spider and the cockatrice have a huge population, but because these two monsters are usually natural enemies, and it is impossible to rely on them like this close.

Even under the influence of undead creatures, it is impossible for these two monsters, which are natural enemies of each other, to let go of their prejudices. Normally, the cockatrice appeared at such a short distance, and it would have been smelled by the lantern spider with a keen sense of smell. Wu Yangyang went up and felt a pain.

All kinds of abnormal signs, Lin Tianci, an outsider, is not clear. Mei Li is not only a local, but also a church knight. She has learned the knowledge of dealing with monsters since she was a child, so how can she not be clear.

She opened the neckline a little, and under the bright moonlight, her skin was as fair and delicate as if it could glow, which also let Lin Tianci see a well-developed career line and a large hemisphere.

——Unexpectedly, this girl is quite promising.

Of course, it is impossible for women in Eastern China to be so open, but there are still low-cut dresses in this world, and Meili doesn't mind at all if she is exposed to this degree.

And she didn't want to give Lin Tianci a benefit, but pulled out a pendant that was attached to the career line.

It was oval in shape, with light blue jade or crystal inlaid in a silver base.

Meili raised the pendant, her eyes fixed on the gemstones on the pendant, and it took more than ten seconds before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I was thinking too much. Perhaps these two monsters, which are natural enemies, did not attack each other because the threat of undead creatures was too great."

"what's the situation?"

Lin Tianci didn't know it at all, and he was equivalent to watching a welfare.

"In our plane, there are a lot of monsters, and there are many types, but the monsters are not harmonious. Many monster groups are natural enemies. We often use the method of guidance to let the natural enemies kill each other, so as to Weaken the number of monsters as much as possible at a very small cost."

Meili seemed to relax a lot, she said again:
"But there are exceptions. There is a creature called demons that can control monsters. If you see two groups of monsters that are natural enemies getting along peacefully, it means that there are demons nearby."

"Demon race? Is it a demon?"

"The demons are not as easy to deal with as the demons in fairy tales."

Well, it seems that there are no demons on this plane.

Mei Li said again:

"The pendant I just took out has every church knight. It can detect whether there are demons nearby. We have been fighting this kind of creature for a long time, but we know very little about them. This pendant is the only detection It’s a means, once there are demons, it will emit a bright red light.”

Lin Tianci looked at the pendant on Meili's neck. Although it was a bit out of date, all he could think about was career...
