Chapter 167: Large Spider Lair
The sky is already bright in the mountain stream.
By the extinguished bonfire, Wengerns and his group were packing their clothes. Judging from this, they should have finished their breakfast time and preparation for spells.
Their current location is on the downhill mountain path on the previous hill. You can already see the majestic waterfall here! The water flow falling from the sky like a galaxy hits the river channel. The sound of the impact and flow of the water flow makes Wengers and the others need to use a louder sound when speaking!
The winding river channel stretches from west to east, but Wengerns feels that the river channel in the distance in the east turns to the north again. As for both sides of the river channel, there are steep peaks that stretch out.
It is said that it is steep because Wengerns and the others found that there seemed to be no mountain paths for people to walk on the opposite mountain! The slope of the opposite mountain is extremely large, making this mountain no longer a range that can be climbed smoothly.
"What should I do? Barend doesn't want to climb a mountain that is so steep that it can fall directly!" Seeing this situation, Barend, who was ready to go, couldn't help but ask.
"Let's go on the waterway! I saw that the second half of the river seemed to be nowhere to be called a river bank! Only the waterway can go north!" Wengerns said helplessly.
"We don't have a boat! Isn't it really okay to walk empty roads? My black dragon should be able to sit down so many people!" said Anila.
"No! As long as we walk on the empty road, things will probably become more troublesome. Although no one has come here, and I am not very clear about the route here, even above the outer layer, all kinds of ferocious and bloodthirsty creatures are enough to make us feel a headache! In that kind of place, we may not be able to exert our strength?" Wengerns immediately denied Eniela's proposal and continued:
"As for transportation, there are so many trees here, just build a raft! It probably won't take long, as long as you can get to a suitable location? We don't need a great boat either!"
"Okay OK! Then do what you said!" Knowing that it was impossible to move forward easily, Anila waved her hand depressedly.
Since they decided to do this, the people present naturally would not waste time. Since the target of the Eternal Island elves may also be the floating city, it is unknown where they would enter the Alf Mountains. If the elves knew the closer route, then Wengerens would appear to be more hasty in time!
After all, it has been a while since the chaotic assassination used to distract from the attention!
Although the people present are not good at using giant axes, because Rennes owns great power, the Death Knight is also undead. Even when using a giant sword to cut a tree, he doesn't have to care about damage to his hands due to force. Baronde is responsible for handling the trunk, while Wengerns is responsible for using magic rope technique to tie the trunk up.
As for Ainila, since she doesn't have the right spell to remember at all, she can only stand aside.
Not long after, a simple raft appeared in front of everyone. There was not even a sail on the raft, and basically we could only rely on the water flow to control the speed! As for the directional treatment, in order to prevent the raft from hitting the mountain wall, Rennes also cut a few wooden boards as simple wooden paddles to control the direction at critical moments.
After the raft was launched, Wengerns and the four of them jumped on the raft before they jumped onto the raft. As for Bones and the three Death Knights, they took them back before Wengerns jumped on the raft. They probably wouldn't be able to play a role in the waterway.
Standing on the raft, Wengerns looked at the slowly retreating mountain walls on both sides and said to Rennes on the side: "Ren, from your perspective, what is the level of strength of the three Death Knights?"
"Those three undead?" Rennes frowned when he heard Wengerns' inquiry. His past professional habits made him not like this creature very much, but that was just the past.
With the performance of the Death Knight before, Ren said: "The strength of these undead is really hard to say, but basically there is level 12! If you attack without damage, you may be able to fight against ordinary thirteen and fourth-level melee professions one-on-one!"
"Oh? So the strength of those knights is even stronger than before? If you remember correctly, the four knights had just reached the advanced level at most!" Anila was a little surprised when she heard Rennes's words.
"Haha, this is the problem of the technique I used. But in this environment, there are not many places suitable for the Knight to play!" Wengerns looked around the steep mountain walls around him and shrugged helplessly.
"Please pay attention to the surroundings! I feel that the place is too calm, and I'm afraid it's not safe!" Renne interrupted and reminded.
Since Rennes said so, the other three did not distract themselves from other things, but remained vigilant and paid attention to the surrounding scenes.
After passing the river channel to the north, what appeared before everyone was a mountain stream passage with a herringbone-shaped cave-top formed by two inclined mountain walls. In a further distance, some gentler mountain paths can be seen.
"It's almost time to jump onto the mountain road! Go forward, I don't know where the river will flow!" Wengerns pointed to a place in the mountain stream passage ahead and said, and no one else had any objections to this.
However, the time of stability is always short. As soon as the raft entered the passage, Wengerns heard some strange sounds seemingly coming from the hillside above. Subconsciously, five sky-blue magic missiles jumped out of Wengerns' fingertips, drew a graceful arc in the air, and hit some objects.
"Dadadada"
After three black objects were hit by a magic missile, they landed on the raft where Wengerns and others were. With a fixed eye, they actually were three spiders!
Unlike the kind of spiders you see in the city, each of these black spiders that appear in front of you is more than one foot in size. The furry body makes people feel goosebumps when they see it.
However, a magic missile alone could not kill a spider of this size. The moment the three spiders landed, Renne quickly waved the heavy sword in his hand, and a half-moon-shaped light flashed, and the three big spiders were all divided into two petals.
But this was just the beginning, and the same spiders were constantly falling down from the sky, but fortunately, these things were not very strong. Whether it was Baronde's throwing dagger or Renne's slash, they were enough to kill them in one blow.
However, the sacrifice of those spiders is not meaningless. Countless spiders also sprayed thin threads as thin as hair from their bulging oval abdomen. All of these threads fell on Wengerns and the other four. At first, it didn't feel that there was much impact, but as time went by, once too many such spider silks gathered on their bodies, people's actions would be seriously hindered!
"Damn!" Wengerns, who soon understood, glanced at the surroundings. The downstream of the river was probably outside the Alf Mountains, and the waterway could not be walked. And the mountain road next to it... wait, what was that?
"Jump! Don't wait! Jump up the mountain now!" Wengerns suddenly shouted, and his right hand quickly turned red. Then he waved his hand to the spider silk full of bamboo rafts. The temperature suddenly rose, and the spider silk was extremely hot and immediately lost its stickiness!
“Dasong’s hot furnace!”
After the bondage was untied, Rennes and the other two immediately jumped onto the mountain path in front of them, and Wengers also jumped onto the mountain path the moment before the bamboo raft was burned, avoiding the possible consequences of falling into the water due to spell casting.
"It's probably a spider's nest over there! I'm afraid it's time to break them before we can continue moving forward!" After Wengerns jumped onto the mountain road, he immediately pointed to the corner of the passage that was about to leave the passage, where some white silk screens could be vaguely seen.
There are a large number of spiders crawling on the mountain road, densely packed, and it makes people feel trembling when they see it. However, looking at the appearance is the same as the spider that just fell to the raft, it should not be strong in strength!
"I'll open the way!"
Wengerns immediately determined the lead. In this case, it is obvious that a mage who can conduct large-scale attacks is naturally more suitable than a melee profession.
When he arrived ahead, Wengerns spitted out a few notes, and a cone-shaped flame ejected from Wengerns's hand. The little spider that had originally swarmed in front immediately burned and died under the burning of the high-temperature flames. The crackling sound of fat burning continued. Although these spiders were not very intelligent, they still had fear, and soon all retreated.
After reaching the corner of the mountain road, Rennes quickly gathered a powerful dead aura on the heavy sword, and then pointed at a white wave in front of him. A gray and half-moon-shaped dead aura blade ejected out, tearing a large number of balls wrapped in white spider webs.
With the sound of tearing, a large number of spider web cocoons were torn open, and a large number of round eggs with wet and hot liquid on the surface were flowed out. Some of them fell to the ground and burst, and some small spiders crawled out of them. After contacting the air, these small spiders immediately began to expand and grow, but it seemed that they were due to abnormal birth. They only grew halfway and all died!
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared on the hillside! When I looked up, a huge spider about two meters long was hanging on a huge spider web! Eight eyes kept looking at Wengerns and others, and their front legs were rubbing against each other, like humans sharpening their knives before slaughtering cattle and sheep.
"Fallen ray!"
A dark purple ray penetrated from Wengerns' index finger and penetrated into the body of the big spider. At the same time, the spider hanging on the net fell directly, and from the open eight feet, it seemed like he wanted to tear Wengerns and others apart!
"Strike the Rail!"
Anila's slender and soft fingers quickly completed several gestures, and a translucent columnar force field ejected out, hitting the body of the big spider, forcing it to deviate a little from the position where it could have pressed downwards.
The big spider waved his forelimbs unwillingly and waved towards Wengerns, looking like a huge pair of scissors.
But at this moment, Rennes suddenly appeared in front of Wengerens and swept across the spider's two front feet.
The pain of losing both feet made the spider crazy about rushing over, but with Renn holding tightly in front of the mountain road, the big spider had no chance of passing! After all, the mountain road was only so wide.
Just when the big spider and Renne were competing, Baronde, who was on one side, suddenly came behind Renne, stepped on several connecting gaps in Renne's armor, and came to Renne's shoulders. Then a somersault jumped and landed on the back of the big spider. With his left hand, a sharp dagger disappeared into the big spider's eight eyes.
The severe pain finally made the other party lose his mind and roll on the mountain path. Obviously, the result of this was that he fell into the river channel below, and drowning was its final outcome. As for Baronde, he was another beautiful backflip and jumped back to the mountain path when the big spider was about to fall off the cliff.
