Chapter 64 Creeping things in the cocoon (1)

There are spider webs everywhere, and the trunks of the woods on both sides are completely wrapped in spider webs, turning into two thick silver walls, and the spider hole, half a person tall and one wide, flashes from time to time.

The five people moved forward carefully, and they had entered the hinterland of the Spider Territory and were not sure when they would be raided.

Barack's expression became more and more serious, and he walked for a while. He stopped and said, "Things are wrong. Look, all these spider silks are dry."

Everyone looked closely and found that the two-way spider silk walls had dried up and turned yellow, and there were cracks in some places.

Dark said: "I didn't encounter a spider along the way, and it disappeared?"

Reus said: "Is the Spider Queen really weak?"

Barack shook his head: "Be careful, you can't draw conclusions yet. Tiger, open the cocoons next to you."

Yu Panji responded and cut a cocoon with his sword: "Empty!"

"Look at something else."

Yu Panki brushed a few of them next to him: "It's all empty!"

"That pile over there!"

Barack pointed to a small pile of round cocoons the size of a football, which were the eggs of giant spiders. According to common sense, let alone chopping, people had already alarmed the giant spiders when they arrived at this position, but now it was quiet.

Yu Panji cut the cocoons with one sword: "There is a bit dark green paste underneath, and there is nothing else."

Dark and the others looked at Barak.

Barak pondered: "The dark green thing is a corrupt spider egg. This color will be kept for at least ten days. You don't even want the eggs. What's wrong with the Spider Queen? Is it really a new and old? We are so lucky, right?"

Isabella asked anxiously: "What if I catch up?"

"As long as you don't kill the Spider Queen, all spiders will not take the initiative to be enemies with us. We can be unobstructed."

"What if we are halfway through and complete the old and new alternating?"

"The new Spider Queen will have a full maturity period of up to six to eight days. During these six to eight days, the spider groups will fight each other, and some violent people will even kill each other, basically without defense."

Dark smiled and said, "How about we find the old nest, we can capture her alive?"

"The spider will fight you for life."

"Without unified command and cooperation, we are so frightened by the front, so we are not afraid of our lives!"

"Don't be whimsical, just walk honestly!"

However, good luck did not last long. After only a short walk, fresh spider silk appeared again.

Everyone immediately became alert and focused on their guard.

With a click, a colorful spider arthropod fell from the canopy. When I looked up, I saw two spiders fighting in a ball on the canopy. One was pressed under my body, and one had broken one leg and was unable to move. The other jumped onto the back and bit through the head.

Before the winner could be happy, a projectile with a scent of lightning sped over under the canopy, frozen all its movements on the canopy, then fell to the ground with a bang. The paralyzed body could not adjust its posture, and fell heavily to the ground, splitting.

Reus succeeded in a sneak attack and said, "Look at the color and size, it is almost the same as the spider leader. Are you really killing each other?"

Isabella excitedly said, "Then let's go through it!"

"Now spiders are crazy. Be careful when they see whatever they see."

Sure enough, after a few steps, a giant gray and yellow spider suddenly rushed out of the spider's hole, spreading sharp teeth, and demonstrating to everyone.

Dake stepped forward, held the hammer in both hands, and patted the spider backwards with one hammer, leaving only eight legs.

Dake smiled and said, "Just these few small legs, fighting with grandpa? Overestimating one's own abilities!"

Barack said: "This is the kind of spider that dragged away the lone wolf just now. The ones that were folded off are not the legs, but the toes. Usually, it stretches its toes into the wall or on a tree to fix them. It was originally spitting silk to stick the prey and dragging it into the hole. Now it's just going out to fight with one hand."

"Spiders are crazy, are they?"

"It's getting worse and wrong. It seems that something happened to the Spider Queen, but"

"But what?"

"The last time the old and new alternated was about six years ago, the time was wrong."

Dark laughed and said, "Maybe we have usurped power?"

"How is it possible! The new queen was hatched by the old queen. I have never heard of immature spider eggs that can hatch small spiders."

"Anyway, it's fine. What's the one in front? Hanging on a tree?"

Everyone looked in the direction Dak pointed, and there was a huge spindle-shaped cocoon of two people hanging on the thick branch in front of them. The cocoon had already broken a big hole.

Barak walked over, observed carefully, then reached into his hand and touched it, saying, "A unlucky swamp crocodile was caught as snack, only teeth and bones were left."

Reus said: "This spider is really awesome, and you can even catch crocodiles. No wonder I didn't even have the power to fight back just now."

"Of course, there is nothing in this swamp that it cannot eat. However, generally speaking, as long as it does not invade the spider's territory and attack them actively, they will not attack people actively. Take the spiders that we had just fought with us. Many people in the tribe have never seen in their lifetime."

"They are so strong, why didn't they cover the swamp?"

"There are not enough food. They are not stupid. Wait, now this road...wait for me for a while."

Barak climbed up the tree and watched, and slid down and said, "From this beginning, there are places where spiders store food, all of them are cocoons, be careful. Especially those light yellow, piles of cocoons piled up by balls, they are small spiders that are about to hatch, and there may be spiders guards nearby; those that are particularly large and strange-shaped, are far away from them, and who knows what is sealed inside."

Isabella asked, "Will you die if you seal it?"

"People will die, and some guys may not be. For example, the swamp stag worm, that guy has a carapace as thick as a finger!"

Isabella stretched out a finger: "It's not thick."

"Stand up!"

“…”

"That guy is not only thick in carapace, but also resists spells. When he is too lazy to find food, he shrinks into a ball and deliberately rolls into a spider territory. Wait for the spider to drag it to the place where food is stored, bite it out of the cocoon shell and eat it ready-made. Spider has no choice but to use it."

Dark smiled and said, "There are rogues too."

"Have you seen it a lot? So don't move around here!"

"clear!"

Everyone continued to move forward, and this scene was different from what they had just happened. Almost all the trees were empty, and there were cocoons densely surrounded by cocoons, and some were even as tall as five or six meters, like a hill. Barak said that it was the nest guarded by the spider. The higher the cocoons, the stronger the guards, but these cocoons were all empty, and some were still very fresh. It was obvious that they had just been abandoned.

In addition to the dense cocoons around, there are many caves hidden under the thick spider silk on the ground, some of which are very deep and don’t know where to go. Barak explained that these are the passages leading to the underground spider nest.

There were no spiders around, so Barak explained to everyone the types of swamp spiders. All spiders will spit silk. According to the web and the non-web, they can be divided into two types: spiders trapped and killer spiders.

There are the most types of spiders trapped, most of which are not very toxic, but the nets are extremely cunning. The big ones are as big as houses and the small ones are as fists. They are hard to defend against and may not be able to hit them anytime. There are paralytic toxins on the Internet. Once they hit, no one will help them, and they will die.

Killer spiders are different. They mainly rely on jumping and raid hunting, such as pulling a spider silk to fly over thirty or fifty meters and falling from the sky; or the precise archer wrapper who just captured Reus. Most of them are strongly toxic, and they take a bite and get the account in three or five seconds.

The most difficult thing is that these spiders fight jointly under the command of the Spider Queen, and they can be said to have few opponents in the complex terrain of the jungle.

"So," Barack said, "we have taken a big bargain this time... Big Bear, what are you doing!"

Dark ran to a squirming human cocoon and shouted: "There is a sound here, it seems not a spider. Do you want to open it and see?"
