Chapter 887 Even by the standards of the devil
"Because I've searched the memory of this monster just now." Lancelo pointed to his brain. "These demon-hunting spiders come from the 66th layer of the abyss. Their...master was originally a close attendant in the court of the Spider God Queen, and was quite favored. One day, the leader suddenly announced to the core members of the tribe that he had obtained a secret mission and ordered all the core members of the tribe to walk with him..."
"Let me guess..." Alamil raised half of his eyebrows, "That leader was not a secret order from the Spider Demon, but did something that had to escape, right?
"Yes." Lancelo nodded, "It got a treasure, undoubtedly stolen from Rose's treasure house, and claimed that the treasure had the power to make it a true god."
"Become a god?" Bruto looked over in surprise, "Just rely on a treasure?"
"The demon hunting spider I killed didn't understand the principle. She just carried out the command issued by the leader: hunt, mating with prey, and then eating prey to obtain the energy to lay eggs..."
"Ha." Karalin laughed dryly, "It sounds quite similar to us humans."
"…When these demon-hunting spiders are born, the leader will take their eggs and eat them." Lancelo glanced at the scholar, "I think there is still some difference..."
"Even by the standards of a demon, it's too crazy and too evil..." Karalin replied with a distorted expression, "Why did that leader do this?"
"Obviously, these are all necessary steps to become a god. And according to the leader, those newborn children did not die, but were already integrated with it." Lancelo shrugged, "According to the memory of this spider, the breath of that leader has indeed become stronger and stronger, and the breath that only the Spider God... has begun to appear on his body."
"I'm still a little unbelievable." Alamil shook his head, "What are the other demon-hunting spiders obeying?"
"The leader promised them the power and glory of the divine servants." Lancelo shrugged again, "The demon hunting spiders think this is a good deal... they do think so. However, although all the demon hunting spiders are desperately laying eggs, it still seems that they cannot meet the needs of the leader, so a new order was issued: If there are women in the prey, be sure to capture them alive. When the spider eggs are eaten up, they will use these female captives to push them, and they are very hungry."
"What?" Bruto jumped up in fear, "What are we waiting for? If we were late, maybe Xiao Yinsha would have been eaten... What the hell leader, where is its nest?"
"The straight line distance is less than a thousand feet, but it is just a vertical distance." Lancelo stomped his feet. "In the deepest part of this maze, there is a special structure that can prevent all tracking and positioning magic effects, so the leader hid here. The good news is that according to the memory of the Demon Hunting Spider, these Demon Hunting Spiders had just produced not long after leaving their home nests, and they left enough eggs for the leader to eat for several days, so Xiao Yinsha was not in danger of life for the time being..."
"What about the bad news?"
"There is no bad news, but I don't want to wait." Lancelo turned his head and looked at Karalin, "Let's talk to us about the precautions for dealing with the Demon Spiders. I may have to concentrate on dealing with that leader in a while, and the other Demon Spiders will have to rely on you."
"Uh... the two forelimbs of the Demon Hunting spider are very sharp and have serrated teeth suitable for tearing metal. Once they are held by their forelimbs, your armor may not provide much protection, so avoid standing on the front of them as much as possible. Although the other legs are scary, the carapaces on them are for defense, just be careful not to be kicked." Caralin poked the constricted spider corpse on the ground with his trekking pole. "Did you notice the spikes on the belly? They can fire spiders from there. Unlike magic-created spiders, the spiders' webs are not flammable and not very sticky, but they are as strong as cables for sailboats, so the Demon Hunting spiders will use these webs to separate the enemy and concentrate their strength to deal with one. I can make some strong acid to destroy that kind of spider web, but everyone should try to stay together when fighting, and don't give the enemy a chance to separate us."
"Get it." Bruto nodded, "You have mentioned their venom before..."
"Yes, it's very powerful. Even with the anti-toxicity talent of your race, I'm afraid it can't be dealt with." The demonist expert glared at the dwarves sternly. "However, although their venom is very terrible, as long as it is exposed to the air, the toxicity will soon disappear. So if they spit at you in battle, don't panic. It's just a trick to scare people, except for the terrible stench."
"Very critical information." Lancelo nodded, "Is there any?"
"Not, that's all I know."
"Okay." Lancelo looked at the others, "Are you all ready?"
"It's been long since." Bruto patted his warhammer. "The spider must have a complete map of this underground maze in his memory, right? Which direction should we go?"
"The shortest direction." Lancelo stamped his feet, "Kalalin, do you have a spell that can control the speed of your falling from a height?"
"Yes, feathering technique, a simple trick." The scholar stared at Lancelo's feet, "I can even cast this spell in the air, which will work for everyone around me..."
"Great." Lancelo turned his head and looked at Alamil, "Where are you, the elf?"
"I'm fine too." Pastor Shuni put away the small mirror in his hand. The pursuit just now was a bit violent.
Lancelo nodded, inserted the dark green trident on the ground, reached out and took out several palm-sized talismans from the dimensional bag, and stuck them to the handle of the trident. The friends looked at him curiously, unable to understand what he was selling in the gourd, but they had long been used to Lancelo making all kinds of strange new tricks.
"Everyone is standing closer." Lancelo waved to Bruto, "especially you may want to catch something in a while."
"Lanslow, how are you going to get over?" The dwarf looked at the rectangular pieces of paper with some doubt. "Can you create a portal based on the spider's memory?"
