The spider's body rolled at an extremely high speed and slid down a steep slope! The slender stalactites were smashed into scattered gravel by the huge body, kicking up a trail of smoke and dust, and the muffled sound of sliding stones echoed in the cave.
It reverberated into an ear-splitting roar! For a moment, the wide underground tunnel seemed to have experienced an earthquake. The continuously reverberating sound waves even shook down some slender stone stalactites on the ceiling and joined the billowing smoke and dust.
After a few breaths, the terrifying roar finally stopped with a low and harsh tearing sound - a sharp stalagmite stubbornly blocked the spider's sliding body, and pierced the giant monster's relatively soft waist like a long sword.
, the slender structure was torn apart in half almost instantly! It finally stopped its body on the gradually gentle slope.
The spider let out a terrifying scream from its mouthparts and moved its eight legs desperately. However, the broken limbs could not make the slightest change in his condition. Instead, the yellow-green liquid poured out from the huge wound like a fountain.
It squeezed out, turning the ground into a sticky and smelly quagmire...
The gushing body fluids took away the remaining life of this giant monster... The sharp screams gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of a few severed limbs sliding feebly on the ground, slowly spreading out with the mist of dust.
Disperse.
Edward frowned.
The spider finally died completely, so the reverberating sound gradually faded away. Silence was like an invisible web covering everything around it, leaving only the low rustling echo in the distance. The surroundings
Everything is surrounded by darkness, like thick mist
Like adhesions blocking every feeling... The psychic warlock just stood silently in the shadow in mid-air, raising his head slightly, his eyes sparkling in the dark environment, the deepest darkness around him, in these eyes
It's as clear as day.
The dust gradually dispersed, revealing the surrounding uneven ground. Stalactites protruded from the top and bottom of the rock wall, forming a unique and unique landscape in the cave. Above the steep slope, the protruding stone pillars and stalactites formed a curtain.
The same thing, looking down through this 'curtain',
There are undulating rocky hills in the vast underground space. These hills are covered with white fungi and tall purple mushrooms, and a stream flows around the hills. The river water reflects the subtle colors in the darkness.
The halo and sparkling luster seem to have an icy blue color.
"The six hundred and sixty-sixth floor of the abyss..." Dahne, who was nestled in Edward's arms, uttered a subtle curse. She reflexively whipped the snake-headed whip around her waist, but in the end she got nothing.
After feeling relieved from the dizzying feeling, the half-elf's reaction was much slower than that of the drow: "What's going on? Damn it...someone attacked us?" She shook her head and asked in a daze.
.
"I don't know. Don't move yet."
His hands wrapped around the waists of the two girls. Edward frowned. His eyes reflected every detail of the surrounding environment... Even the most secret corners of the surroundings were invisible to the observation of divine power. However,
, even if the vision extended to dozens of miles around, there was still no suspicious-looking existence.
Is it possible to escape with just one hit?
But strangely, if it were an enemy, wouldn't now be the best time to attack?
After all, even Edward was unable to take care of other things at that moment. He just carried the two girls and flew out of the spider car. He didn't even have any magic equipment on him, and he didn't even have a defensive spell.
No, if the enemy is waiting for work, just a few dissociation spells or death rays are enough to make him panic, and even if he doesn't die, he will lose the opportunity.
But that enemy is now nowhere to be seen...
Could it be that he realized that he was not powerful enough to kill himself, so he did not entangle? But how could an existence that could avoid his own divine power lack of power? Or was this just a milder warning?
Shaking his head, he carefully lowered the height of his levitation technique and slowly approached the body of the dead spider in the smoke.
"What the hell!"
When she was still a few feet above the ground, Miss Lisa broke away from Edward. She jumped to the spider and struggled to pull out a piece of emerald green from a large piece of wood under the spider's body - unfortunately that piece of green stuff.
The beautiful travel suit has been chipped
The pieces and metal were scratched into a mess, and the fishy smell of a few pieces of yellow-green spider blood made the half-elf lady couldn't help but let out a loud curse. This sound echoed far and near in the cave that had just calmed down, and the echoes over and over again turned out to be...
Getting louder and louder.
"What the hell!"
Dahni on the side cursed in a low voice, "Be quiet, it's just a piece of clothing. Do you want to attract a dragon?" She scolded in a low voice. She slowly pushed away a piece of wood and took out the bottom.
Black mage robe:
"Fuck you! How could a dragon live in this damn place?" the half-elf retorted dissatisfiedly, triggering another wave of echoes. She reluctantly glanced at the piece of clothing she once loved most, but in the end
He could only choose to give up, and then vent his anger on his old enemy: "The sound was so loud just now, even a deaf person could hear it. Does it make a difference to shout a few more times? And what happened to the dragon? If you dare to come, I will skin him.
skin!"
"Idiot, there are many things scarier than dragons here. Don't forget that this place is not far from the space door on the lower level. Those illithid monsters and beholders might come out to look for food at any time! What about you?
You don’t have to worry about being noticed by them if you’re stupid, but I have no interest in dealing with those octopus heads or eyeball monsters!”
"Oh, you don't have to worry? Aren't you just a big-breasted monster yourself? You are the same kind as those guys..." the half-elf retorted without caring.
"shut up!"
…
Although he was very aware of the safety level around him, Edward was not in as good a mood as the two ladies. He stared at the body of the sword spider that was still twitching slightly in front of him, and then set his eyes on a piece of ground not far away——
The lower half of a thick spider leg stuck straight into the gravel there.
The thick carapace is black and shimmers with metallic luster, and has a sharp edge like a giant sword - these horny materials are harder than iron. Driven by the spider's three flexible joints and insect muscles,
It can really slash, stab and kill opponents like a giant sword, which is why the Sword Spider got its name.
But now, the originally thick surface has some pits and rough dents all over it, as if it is rusty, especially on the broken upper part.
It was a weird green color attached to it... Edward stretched out a finger, and with a force of thought, he scraped the green thing off the spider, and gently threw it outward on a stone.
After a snapping sound, the gel-like liquid began to squirm, gradually converging into a small liquid ball, like a gem, with no impurities in it. And then, the 'water drop' began to squirm slowly.
get up, stagger
The ground moved towards another pool of green liquid not far away. And the psychic warlock immediately noticed that the ground where it was originally attached was actually black... Thin green smoke rose from above, and a strange smell came out.
Mixed in the surrounding air.
I see.
It suddenly dawned on him.
It's not that the enemy was not found, it was that the enemy was not noticed at all.
This green mud should be a type of ooze monster... Although ooze monsters are indeed very powerful, I heard that most of them can only move slowly or stay in place.
, low-pitched creatures that wait for food, their strength is weak, almost the same as a mouse on the map drawn by the divine power, so Edward naturally cannot treat things of this level.
However, this monster is extremely difficult to deal with.
The body structure of a spider is in the form of an exoskeleton, with a hard horny shell supporting the entire body, and most of the sensing on the body surface relies on sensitive bristles. Ordinary spiders can only rely on these fine hairs and body weight to sense the ground or spider webs over a long distance.
Vibrate to avoid danger or catch prey. However, people like sword spiders
It is impossible to compare with their smaller counterparts - in order to strengthen hunting of large creatures and support heavy bodies. Their claws must be strong enough, and the disadvantage of this is that it is obviously impossible to attach things like bristles
On those blade-like claws, the reaction of large spiders is particularly slow.
Of course, I didn't feel that I had been stained by this ooze monster.
Although these green monsters look weak, the mucus they secrete is very powerful. It is not only an efficient corrosive liquid, but also has a certain paralysis effect, so that the already slow sword spider cannot feel pain at all and will only let itself be.
The limbs of the spider are slowly corroded. This corrosion seems slow, but if it goes deeper, the horny structure will completely collapse. When the spider moves at high speed, the huge weight of the spider will accumulate pressure on the claws, which can easily destroy the exoskeleton.
Just break it!
And this kind of cracking will start in a chain due to the sharing of weight - if one claw breaks, the remaining seven will increase the pressure and cause more breaks, especially on the downhill road. The huge animal that is faster than a galloping horse may even break.
Before it could stop, it had turned into a big ball of gourd rolling on the ground.
"What the hell!"
Edward shook his head, not knowing whether he should curse or laugh for this unlucky coincidence. He really didn't expect that even low-level things could have such abilities.
But this definitely shouldn't be a simple coincidence...
Edward took a deep breath. He found that there seemed to be a flash of light passing through his mind, but it was fleeting. He captured some thoughts but it was a bit fuzzy and couldn't be sorted out, which made him frown tightly.
No matter what, the journey must continue.
This sword spider obviously cannot be used... If I had known this, I should not have been so trusting and refused the previous request from the drow city to send guards to accompany me. However, those drow are indeed not trustworthy.
——Well, putting all this aside, the problem now is that before finding the next drow city, the originally fragrant and comfortable journey is completely over.
The problem of the delivery vehicle is not a problem. After putting on the mage's robe, Edward took out a metal ball from the dimensional hole. As soon as his mental power was turned, the thing stretched out countless iron pieces and expanded into a tower.
The hemispherical floating pedestal is enough to carry him and the two girls forward. Even in this semi-suspended state, the movement speed is much faster than that of a spider.
But the problem is that the mage who built this thing - or maybe Tesla - didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't seal it, and he didn't even have a cover. When he moved, the surrounding wind was just
It can blow straight wind on the body of the rider. Although the robe is tightly wrapped and the magical trick of keeping warm is added, it is far inferior to the comfortable and stable cabin on the back of the spider.
The underground water veins converged in the dark land, forming large and small underground rivers. They passed through an area covered with fluorescent moss near the stalactite area. Large areas of glowing fluorescent moss and mushrooms that also emitted fluorescence were piled on the river.
On both sides of the bank, the dim light reflected the dark river water, which can be regarded as a strange scenery.
The rock wall behind the place suddenly shook - it was a silent shaking. Then a crack suddenly appeared at that location, and several figures walked out of the crack.
The leading woman crouched down, hiding herself in the shadow of the cloak, revealing only a pair of almond-like red eyes.
She raised her eyebrows. The tight lips under her straight nose showed a sexy thickness; the woman's silver short hair just reached the tip of her ears, and she wore a tight gray leather armor. The skin exposed outside the leather armor was strong and
Smooth. Gives a healthy feel.
"Who are you?" she asked coldly. But her voice immediately turned into an angry growl: "Rolls's lackeys!"
Even among the drow, there are good beings among them, and the dark maiden Eilistraee is their god.
He never knew much about the gods, but because he had a drow priest beside him, he was also a chosen one, and he had helped Rose destroy Qiyawensari before. Therefore, he had done something about the Spider Queen's pantheon.
understand a little bit, know
There are a total of six gods among them, namely the main god Lolth, the god of conspiracy Velen, the god of warriors Silventam. There is also the slain goddess of immortality and revenge Qiyawensari, and then they are barely included in the god system.
Ghaunadaur and Eilistraee...
The reason why they are barely included is because these two gods are the same. Although they belong to the drow pantheon, they are not under the leadership of Rose.

Ghaunadaur and Eilistraee...
The reason why they are barely included is because these two gods are the same. Although they belong to the drow pantheon, they are not under the leadership of Rose.
In fact, according to Edward's understanding, Rose is really not suitable to be a main god - her capricious and willful character makes most of the gods under her subordinates seem to be incompatible with each other, each with their own plans, and they are always in a state of uncertainty.
On the verge of betrayal,
However, creatures like drow are born with a special worship of power, and Velen, the God of Conspiracy, is the son of Lolth and Corellon, the Elf Lord God, and Silventam, the Warrior God, is the son of Velen... so these two
Although each guy has his own thoughts, as a male drow, at least he is still under the power of Rose. Even Qiyawensari, who was destroyed and devoured before, could not escape from the pit before escaping from the magic net.
Just listen to Rose.
From another point of view, Ghaunadaur is actually a guy who is barely included in the drow god system. It is only because the drow believe in him and it has been curled up in the Pit Demon Network, so it is counted as the same.
in it.
However, this Eilistraee is a true alien.
She is the daughter of Rose and the Elf Lord Corellon. When Rose secretly colluded with some evil gods to plan a rebellion, tried to murder Corellon, and usurped the power of the Elf Lord God, she was also involved and was shot.
Corellon - but after the rebellion finally failed, Rose and Velen were banished, but Corellon decided to pardon her on the grounds that she had been deceived and did not know everything.
But the goddess refused and insisted on descending into the abyss with her mother and brother, becoming the drow goddess of dancing, swordsmanship, hunting and the moon.
He is also the only kind being.
She protects all kind-hearted drow and guides them out of the spider queen's trap. She returns to the surface world, and is therefore jointly hostile by other drow gods. Many surface elves are attracted by her teachings and become believers, and her teachings
, I just hope that one day I can lead the drow to escape from Rose's conspiracy and lies, return to the surface world, live in peace with the elves again, and bathe in the moonlight together...
But the problem is that hope is one thing, and reality is another. As long as the drow who do not believe in her meet her believers, the outcome will definitely be a war... (To be continued...
