The stone chamber was large and hollow, almost in the shape of a regular oval. There was a table, a few chairs, and two spreads of reeds on the floor.
The tables and chairs were very old, and it was difficult for the spider monsters to find human belongings in the wet swamp.
It was very difficult to find tables and chairs, and there was no need for a bed, so the two of them only had reeds.
In the corner of the stone room, there are piles of medicinal materials designated by Dong Rui.
He walked over and flipped it twice, shook his head and said, "It still lacks a lot of flavor."
The spider demon guard walked in and reported: "It will be delivered later."
Even for them, it takes time to go around the swamp and pick unfamiliar herbs.
Dong Rui sat on a chair and looked around: "What kind of place is this?"
"Bladder." This is what He Lingchuan said.
"Devil's Nest." This is what the spider demon guard said.
One person and one spider spoke at the same time, but Dong Rui didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
He Lingchuan rubbed his forehead and suddenly asked the spider demon guard:
"Are you familiar with this cave?"
"Yes." The guard would not lie, "I was born here."
He Lingchuan let out a sigh of relief: "This is the Demon's Nest? The 'Devil's Nest' of the 'Devil's Nest Swamp'?"
"right."
Dong Rui also heard something: "You mean, the entire swamp is named after this cave?" What's so special about this cave?
He Lingchuan caressed the mountain wall.
This texture was truly unforgettable to him: "Zhu Erniang said that the Jiana tribe was wiped out by monsters. The great monsters in ancient times all liked to call 'gods' 'demons'. So, this cave was probably the monster's former lair."
?After Zhu Erniang moved to the swamp, she picked a ready-made one and used it as her residence."
These words sounded ordinary, but Dong Rui thought about it carefully and understood the deeper meaning, and couldn't help but be moved:
"Are you saying that the so-called monsters are gods? The Kano tribe was angered by the gods and was therefore exterminated?"
"Anyway, we haven't collected all the medicinal materials yet, so we have nothing to do now." He Lingchuan asked the spider guard, "Does Erniang Zhu also live here?"
"The ancestors live in the heart."
He Lingchuan nodded. From the word "heart", it can be seen that Zhu Erniang knows exactly what the "Devil's Nest" is.
"Can you take us to see it?"
Spider Guard: "Wait for us to report!"
After saying that, one of them turned around and left.
Dong Rui asked He Lingchuan: "What are the codes for 'atrium' and 'bladder'?"
"Your table is at the position of the bladder." He Lingchuan said, "Zhu Erniang lives at the position of the atrium, which is the literal meaning."
Dong Rui looked at him as if what he said was not human. Is this Demon Nest named after human organs?
It’s okay for the Spider Guard to know, so why does He Lingchuan, the newcomer, also know?
He's going crazy.
He Lingchuan discovered that this man had another characteristic besides his bad mouth, that is, he was very curious. "I will tell you after I confirm it for the final time."
After more than a quarter of an hour, the spider guard came back and said: "Follow me, don't wander around."
It seems that Zhu Erniang is also very carefree and is not afraid of others looking at her boudoir.
Now the spider guard led the way, and they took another winding trip, and the journey was further than before.
He Lingchuan silently memorized the road.
After this trip, they discovered that this was the base camp of the spiders, and they could encounter one within a few steps. Some intersections were guarded, or were directly blocked by dense spider webs, so no one could enter.
Soon, the atrium arrived.
This is almost the core of the entire cave. The two of them squeezed out of the narrow passage, and their eyes suddenly opened up:
In front of him was a huge cave, seven or eight times larger than the cave where the two of them worked, and more than five feet high. It was so loud that there was an echo even when he shouted.
There are more fluorescent spores here than anywhere else, growing densely in the rock crevices, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.
Dong Rui glanced around and pointed at the mountain wall, his voice full of exclamation: "This, this?!"
There are several spider demons standing under the mountain wall, each one bigger than the other. The largest and tallest one is over three feet (ten meters) tall!
Even the strong Zhu Erniang looks small and compact in comparison.
Even if they stand there quietly, they still show their power and no one else dares to approach them.
This is the real Big Mac. How many people will be frightened to death if it is released?
He Lingchuan knocked his fingers back: "You can't even call me Qiuqiu alive."
He took the opportunity to count them, one, two, three, four, five. There were only five giant spiders here.
"Huh?" Dong Rui was still immersed in the shock of the visual impact.
"How do you know if you haven't come close?" Zhu Erniang's voice sounded behind the two of them.
It followed me at some point without making any sound.
A body that is larger than a house can actually shrink to one-fourth or one-fifth of its original size, allowing it to walk through narrow passages.
After it climbed out of the channel, it grew back in size, like a fat ball thrown into the water.
In fact, Zhu Erniang's questions are very good.
The several spider monsters standing in a row against the wall have to be handsome and menacing. The spiders have no eyelids, so they always look like they are glaring at people. They just don't move, so why do you say they are not alive?
?
He Lingchuan's answer was astonishing: "They have fluorescent spores growing on their joints. If they are still alive, they will be cleaned up, right?" If he remembered correctly, spiders are quite clean creatures. They are not old turtles.
Feel free to let the barnacles attach to their shells.
Zhu Erniang seemed to laugh: "Clever."
This confirmed He Lingchuan's judgment. Dong Rui was overjoyed. He strode over and walked among several spider demons, knocking here and touching there. He was even more happy than the blue kid who got his beloved toy.
ban.
Even Zhu Erniang was flattered when she saw it: Does this man like it so much?
"These are the remnants of what I shed."
"Ah?" Dong Rui looked at it, then at these giant spiders, "Oh!"
No wonder they all look the same, just in different sizes, like matryoshka dolls.
He recalled what He Lingchuan had said before, pointed to the largest spider slough and said, "Is this your demonic body from ancient times? Seriously, seriously!"
The ancient objects are almost rotten by now, let alone the remains of demons and immortals.
Just seeing these few things, he felt that the trip to the Demon Nest was worthwhile.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Erniang's tone suddenly dropped: "The body of the demon is not here."
"ah?"
Zhu Erniang did not explain, but He Lingchuan suddenly understood. He remembered that he saw a total of six giant spider sloughs in the spider nest in Panlong's dream. Sure enough, it was not that the dream was wrong, but that Zhu Erniang was missing one.
Where did the largest corpse go?
"That's amazing." The surprise and admiration in Dong Rui's tone finally pleased Zhu Erniang, and he introduced them to the two of them one by one, "This is from the end of ancient times, this is from the early Middle Ages, this is from the middle, this is from the late...
"
The closer we get to the present, the smaller the spider slough becomes.
Dong Rui glanced at He Lingchuan and said to Zhu Erniang: "I understand, you took the initiative to entrust the Taoist behavior to the shell and shed it together, right?"
Zhu Erniang touched the ground with her sharp front paws: "Exactly."
"Smart, really smart!" Dong Rui gave a thumbs up, "The ancient immortals disappeared from the world because they could not adapt to the increasingly thin environment of spiritual energy. No one else can learn your method."
