Chapter 116 Spider, such a big spider, tiger-striped spider
Red eyes.
The six scarlet eyes spread out like eight figures.
The ferocious and clear body is divided into a chest and an abdomen, with two fangs protruding from a mouth dripping with pale green mucus.
In the dense fog-like darkness of the forest, the scarlet eyes glowed with blood-red light.
Under the dim illumination of the fluorescent stone lamp, its dark cyan carapace shone with a cold metallic sheen.
It was a spider, almost as big as a dog. Eight ferocious long legs with spikes protruded from the oval body and plunged firmly into the ground.
Compared to a normal spider, its pair of front legs are covered with yellow and black hairs, while the remaining three pairs of legs are very short and thick.
Two fathoms away from it, the trumpeter had fallen to the ground, unconscious.
Seven or eight Guards soldiers have arrived. They raised their four-meter-long spears and formed a semicircle, but no one dared to get too close.
Horn raised the glowstone in his hand, his eyes flashing with the light of mana flow. The glowstone in his hand immediately shined brightly, forcing the giant spider to take two steps back.
It was only then that Horn discovered that one of its legs had been broken and was only connected to the body through a few strands of flesh and blood.
Using the light, Horn came closer and looked at the trumpeter. His face turned green and sticky juice flowed from the corner of his mouth.
There was a big hole in his chest, and the flesh at the hole was actually a dark green color of decay.
Horn's face suddenly darkened.
Das held a wind-up gun in his hand and walked over with a somewhat pale face: "My Majesty, please be careful."
"How is the situation?" Horn asked Das, who had gauze wrapped around his head.
“Our gunman just fired a gun, but the light was too dim and he missed.” Das patted the barrel of his gun, “I went to shoot another gun, 10 fathoms, but it was just a hit. One of its legs was broken."
"Brother, are there any monsters?" Jeanna climbed over from behind the carriage with her hair hanging down.
Seeing the big spider, Jeanne immediately stretched out her hand, and the electric light immediately began to condense.
"Wait a minute." Horn stopped Jeanne, "Let them deal with it on their own first, and then take action if they are in danger."
On the front line of facing the big spider, Rudillo was extremely anxious.
“Don’t be cowardly.” Rudillo lowered his voice, “Wan Biao and the Saint are here, and they are all looking at us.”
“Is this a monster? Where is it? Is there such a big spider?”
“Yes, we don’t have a holy gunner. Let’s wait for the gunmen to come, or Her Majesty the Saint.”
Seeing that everyone around him was counting on the Saint and the Gunslinger, Rudillo became furious.
He directly picked up a spear, ignored the people around him and strode forward.
"Hey!" Seeing Rudillo moving forward, the remaining command companies had to follow to cover.
Otherwise, according to military law, it would be a slap in the face.
Putting on a charging stance, he approached the big spider. According to his daily training, Rudillo held the tail of the gun in one hand and the barrel of the gun in the other. While taking a step, he stabbed the big spider with one shot.
The sharp spear point pierced the back shell of the big spider, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The spear was retracted, and a hole as long as a little finger appeared on the back shell.
The big spider trembled all over.
Seemingly irritated by Rudillo, the big gray and black spider that was shaking and trying to walk away made a terrifying hissing sound.
The green juice rose, and the spider suddenly jumped from the ground and jumped to the chestnut tree nearby.
With its body lying sideways, it seemed to be borrowing force, its stubby legs suddenly contracted, and its entire body jumped out of the tree trunk like a spring.
Rudillo was overjoyed.
Friends who often fight with cold weapons know that jumping is strictly prohibited on the battlefield.
Excluding the queue factor, but personally, it is difficult to dodge attacks because you cannot use force in mid-air.
“Shut up!”
The spear was raised and his right leg was withdrawn. The tip of Rudillo's spear was exactly aimed at its soft and white belly.
A ball of sticky white spider silk came towards him, sprayed on Rudillo's chest, and directly tied his hands.
Rudillo felt like his hands were locked by the chains and he couldn't break free at all.
Looking up again, the pair of fangs are already in front of you.
He howled, his body turned sideways suddenly, and the spear, driven by inertia, hit the big spider's body.
The big spider in mid-air was knocked off course by this collision.
Falling to the ground, Rudillo dodged the venom-laden fangs of the big spider in embarrassment.
Everyone screamed, but the sound of the gears turning was hidden behind them.
The big spider heard a "crunching" sound.
It still remembers that it was just after this sound that one of its steps was interrupted.
The six red eyes immediately looked towards the source of the sound, which was the same upright insect that attacked it before.
The same trick was repeated. The big spider jumped up on the spot and landed on the trunk of the pine tree. Its seven legs contracted and vibrated, and it jumped high. It skipped the first line of Guards, but at the end of the arc was Das.
Das raised his head and stared into the increasingly clear scarlet eyes as if with contempt.
It was clear that it was about to fall on his head, but Kodas was not afraid at all.
This was what he had been waiting for.
Lifting up the blunderbuss tube, he reached out and pulled out the clockwork key.
The scream came from the balance pressure hole of the gun barrel, and the air flowed violently, making the originally straight grass bend down.
Roaring, a black shadow wrapped in thunderous sounds erupted from the barrel.
At a speed that could not be seen at all, the black shadow pounced on the big spider's head and chest.
The scarlet spider eyes exploded directly, and one of the fangs was broken by the iron sand bag head.
The claws flew high into the air, rolled to the ground with venom, and spun around several times before stopping.
The iron sand and stone bullets, driven by the firing rod, cut through the air, penetrated into the hard carapace of the big spider, and swirled into the flesh and blood organs.
A large amount of flesh and blood was splashed backwards.
The force was so great that it knocked the big spider that had pounced forward and flew away.
It drew an arc in the air and landed heavily.
Spasmodically, it rolled over and rolled with its legs in the air, twitching from time to time.
It took almost a minute before he finally died.
After all, when it was hit, it was at most two or three meters away from the muzzle, which was equivalent to hitting it head-on. At this distance, both Barnetts would have been pierced to death.
Thanks to the boldness of Master Das.
Horn looked at the spider body swaying left and right: "This should be the giant spider in the Wild Spider Forest?"
"No, no." Sissi's clear voice came from behind, " This should be just an ordinary small jumping spider of the giant spider type. According to the notes, it is estimated to be as big as an ox. "Are you sure it's not a monster?"
"Of course not. The ancestors of the giant spiders are said to be monsters, but they inherited part of their extraordinary bodies, and over time, they became like this."
stroking his chin, Horn wrinkled frowned.
These days, Carrie has been relying on her memories while walking to determine the route. If she goes wrong and is surrounded by those giant spiders, are these people really strong enough to fight?
How about resting here for two days and collecting a few more wind-up guns before leaving?
But if he delays it for a few more days, it seems that he won't be able to increase his strength much, and he can't rub a hundred strokes a day.
But there was not much food. Horn calculated that he could last for another ten days at most by bringing the potato roots he collected earlier.
If you waste too much time, you may not know if you will have enough food to cross the spider forest.
These soldiers must overcome their fear of monsters and giant spiders.
I wasn’t very afraid of trying to seize the barrier and the bridge, but I was afraid of facing the giant spider.
Just when Horn hesitated, Madeleine arrived in a hurry.
After confirming that the big spider was dead, Madeleine walked closer and asked: "How should I dispose of this body? Should I throw it away? Will leaving it like this attract its companions?"
" What to throw away? This is a good thing.”
Sissi stepped forward, picked up the knife, cut open its abdomen, pulled out a ball of sticky spider silk, and showed it to Horn.
“Spider silk can be used to make ropes, spider eyes can be used as alchemy materials, and spider meat can be eaten. It tastes like chicken. It will be crunchy when grilled.”
"Ugh..." Madeleine couldn't help but vomited out, "This stinks too much."
Smelling the stench, Horn waved his hand and said: "It's so disgusting, if not... Let’s do it.”
“Just clean the internal organs with slime. You can dismantle the valuable materials and take them away, and you can sell them for a lot of money on the black market.”
"Madelan, you handle it."
"Me?" Madeleine pointed at herself with her index finger.
Horn covered his nose and left quickly: "It's just you."
Farewell to Sissi and Madeleine, Horn did not return to the tent, but pulled Das and headed towards the barracks District walked.
As expected, I met Rudillo walking back dejectedly on the way.
Clapping his hands, Das on the side immediately handed over a wind-up gun.
"Rudillo!"
When Rudillo turned around, he saw a long object being thrown towards him. He subconsciously caught it, but was almost pulled down by the weight.
Looking down, it was the wind-up gun that he had longed for.
"Damn it, your courage is worthy of a holy gun." Horn stepped forward and smoothed the folds of his cloak, "I will report your deeds tomorrow morning."< br>
