Chapter 85 Arakne
"Bad grandson! Bad grandson! This thing is a projection, too shameless!"
Seeing the doomsday-like scene behind him from the car window, Mu Hua was still frightened, and the accent of his hometown in his previous life came out.
"It's okay, it's okay. The abyss is indeed justice. I hope you'll become a lunatic sooner or later." Feeling the push from the advancing chariot, Mu Hua patted his chest and muttered incomprehensible words.
"What is that?" Taibesha asked Mu Hua with a serious face. She preheated the magic cannon, unlocked the Vulcan cannon, and put the energy field on standby to control the direction of the chariot.
"Damn it, an Arachne is playing an Ice Queen." Mu Hua cursed.
"Spider demon? Play?" Taibetha questioned.
Arachne is a superior species evolved from the spider demon. The "play" that Mu Hua mentioned is very likely to arouse people's imagination, but as far as Taibesha knows, Arachne and the Snow Queen are both only females.
"Yes, it's just as you thought. Damn it, it's just a look, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?!"
Mu Hua turned around and looked through the car window, confirming that there was no giant spider flying in the sky behind him before he continued to curse.
"I didn't think so!" Tabitha's cheeks turned red. What do you mean by the same as I thought? I don't know what grinding tofu means.
"Arachne, he can cast Thunder Pattern Scorch Prison, so he must be a demon general at least, right?"
"Is Arachne beautiful?" Taibesha glanced at Mu Hua's waist and hips and spat.
"Beautiful, the Snow Queen's charm is also deadly, but they lost control and let the raven rub against them a few times. Damn it, I must learn how to stabilize my mind when I go back."
Mu Hua muttered, looked down at the small tent erected beside his legs, smiled bitterly, and pried his excited little brother to make it look less erect, which again caused Taibetha to spit.
Although she felt disgusted, Taibetha did not look down on Mu Hua's condition.
This is normal. Arachne and the Snow Queen are both demons with famous charm abilities, especially Arachne. When it comes to charm abilities, succubi are nothing more than village women with thick legs and shabby hips in front of them.
Without corresponding preventive measures, most male creatures will lose their composure when seeing them, and this includes not only humans.
Mu Hua treats Taibetha as a comrade-in-arms. While hunting monsters, one will encounter all kinds of strange things, but this is not a child's game, so there is no need to avoid such situations.
"You've got Arachne at such a young age. This is enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life." After making sure there was no danger, Taibesha teased Mu Hua.
"Forget it. This stuff is too terrible. Now I just want to learn how to stabilize my mind. Hiss~~~" Mu Hua leaned back in his seat and made a gasp sound while speaking.
"Hey, hey...are you kidding?" Seeing Mu Hua shivering with a strange look on his face, Taibesha's face changed and she exclaimed in surprise.
"What are you thinking about? Tuesday scratched me hard." Mu Hua's face turned pale and he rolled his eyes at Tabitha.
Is Arachne beautiful? If we simply use words to describe her appearance, no human would find her beautiful.
Because her lower body is a spider body as big as a car.
Although her upper body resembles that of a human female, with a thin waist and beautiful breasts, she has horns on her head and tattoos on her face.
But this big guy, who doesn't even match the human 'model', is born with a strong ability to charm.
Human society considers charm magic as a taboo, but in fact, the charm abilities of demons such as succubus, sirens, Medusa, and Arachne are different from charm magic.
The ability to charm will make other lives have a primitive impulse towards it. To put it bluntly, it means wanting to pin the other person down and have sex with him, and there will be a desire to reproduce, not just for fun.
But charm magic is different. Charm magic is similar to hypnosis-type mind control.
It makes you love the caster and be willing to give to the caster. You may not necessarily have the urge to have sex with the caster, but you just like the caster so much that you develop complex feelings towards him/her, and have strong possessiveness and jealousy.
Charm magic has a greater impact, but is relatively easy to break.
But a charm like Arachne's is extremely deadly.
Even if they have learned to be mentally stable, humans will still instinctively think that the giant spider is beautiful when they see it.
It's like the attraction of higher life to lower life, a bit like the pursuit of better bloodlines for offspring by organisms.
This is not a question of whether it hurts or not. The models are so different. If you move the machine up or down, or move out of position, the person is gone. . .
After a long rest, Mu Hua groaned and barely recovered.
"Hello, this is the Adventurer's Guild. Is there anything you need advice on?" Mu Hua replied, and Taibesha also dialed the customer service number of the Adventurer's Guild in Bear Pig Town.
"Complaint! Reconnaissance mission at 375 Hyman Courtyard, northern slope of Mount Zilfi." Tabitha confidently told the customer service the name of the complaint mission.
"Well, sorry, wait a moment." A short busy tone.
"Hello, Miss Tabetha, what is the problem with this mission?"
"You should send a drone to take a look at the northern slope of Mount Zilfi after the bombing of the 'Thunder Scorch Prison', and then ask me if you have any questions." Unlike her usual kindness, Tabitha slapped the steering wheel and scolded in a very experienced manner.
"Ah? Thunder Pattern Scorch Prison? Are you sure? Do you know the specific monster that casts this magic?" The customer service seemed surprised, but the tone was a bit fake.
Regardless of whether she has a specific understanding of the Thunder Pattern Scorch Prison, the customer service staff must have obviously encountered many similar complaints.
"I know. I didn't take any photos to collect evidence. This mission will cost more money!" Mu Hua was attracted by Taibesha. Mu Hua didn't know much about the Adventurer's Guild. He was just talking nonsense when he mentioned the extra money.
At this time, he didn't expect that Taibesha would actually do this. As for the official agency, Mu Hua subconsciously felt that Taibesha would be hit back.
How can the dignity of the official leaders be offended by outsiders?
"Okay, if you can provide the monster information, you can be compensated with 30% of the contribution value on top of the original task reward." The customer service reply was logical.
"There is at least one Arachne and one Ice Queen there. Are you 30% sure?" Taibesha questioned. The way she spoke made Mu Hua feel like she was a silly girl. How could she come up and give out information first? How could she talk to a grown man like that?
“...” Another busy tone.
"Okay, Miss Taibesha, according to your intelligence, that place should be designated as a high-risk lord area. You will be compensated with 10,000 contribution points."
The Lord of the Courtyard is referred to as the Demon King by humans, but the Demon King usually does not live in a cave maze. The monsters that help the Demon King suppress one side are also called Demon Generals or Lords.
Of course, this name is a habit from human society and does not need to be linked to the classes in hell. Humans can be said to have lowered the overall power class of hell by two or three levels.
The customer service's voice was much more real this time. It turned out that Tabetha was not a silly girl. Mu Hua couldn't hide his surprise. Is the professional ethics of the Adventurer's Guild so good?
Ten thousand contribution points is not a small number. Originally, all the intelligence points for this reconnaissance mission added up to only 700 contribution points.
Ten thousand contribution points are roughly equivalent to one thousand demon gold coins, which is equivalent to mithril coins. If exchanged for supplies in the Adventurer's Guild, the value should be much higher than credit points.
Although the sudden crisis is quite serious, it is just a reconnaissance mission after all, and the Adventurer's Guild will need to confirm it themselves in the later stage.
Putting aside the ethical issues of the Adventurer's Guild, Mu Hua suddenly felt that Loren's life seemed to be more valuable...
I listened to Taibesha arguing with the Adventurer's Guild in silence. Both sides argued fiercely, but neither of them had the inclination to quarrel. In the end, Taibesha actually managed to wrestle out another 2,000 contribution points.
When the negotiation was over, Tabitha clenched her fist and raised her finger, giving Mu Hua a smile of accomplishment. Mu Hua gave her a thumbs up and bumped fists with her.
"Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich, what do you think? I was right, wasn't I? Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk." Tabitha laughed happily.
"Yes, yes, it's our good fortune that we traveled light, and it's also our good fortune that Arachne didn't catch up with us. Miss, I think you should not accept random missions in the future."
Mu Hua felt that Taibesha's luck was incredible. The courtyard was so big, and when she chose a mission, she could go directly to the Demon General's house.
"So we are adventurers, right? Twelve thousand contribution points. Tell me, deputy leader, what do you want to exchange for it? I'll give you another eight hundred demon coins. Maybe we can get you a magic wand."
Taibesha waved her hand generously, and Mu Hua suddenly realized that this girl seemed to be happy not because of the money.
"According to the rules, I'll take 30% and help me exchange it for low-level magic stones." Mu Hua shook his head.
"You don't want a staff? What do you want a low-level magic stone for?"
"Make a summoned beast."
"Can low-level magic stones be used to create summoned beasts?"
"We need to do some more experiments."
"Okay, but... I'm the leader, shouldn't you be responsible for changing the magic stones?" Taibesha didn't seem to like such chores.
"An adventure team of two people? How about... leaving it to Deman?" Mu Hua suggested.
"Deman doesn't like these. He's not even an adventurer." Taibetha questioned.
"There's nothing to do in the hotel anyway, so I'll just use it as a way to lose weight."
"Then go and talk to him."
The two of them chatted with each other to arrange work for Deman. After a while, they left the courtyard and Mu Hua called Kunna.
"Hey, Kunna, are you free today?"
After receiving a positive response from Kunna, Mu Hua contacted the hotel to book a table. However, Taibesha looked at Mu Hua with a look of astonishment, which made him feel puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hua asked.
"Are you going on a date with Kunna?" Tabitha asked with a frown.
"Of course, is there a problem?" Mu Hua asked puzzledly.
Arakne had had some bad influence on him and he needed some gentle counseling today.
"Problem? Haha, no problem. You're really good." Tabitha had a strange expression on her face. It was hard to tell whether it was contempt, anger, or something else. Anyway, she looked at Mu Hua with some disgust.
"Well... Betha, I'm not bullying anyone. Kunna and I are friends." Mu Hua couldn't tell the reason from Taibetha's expression. He wondered if Taibetha suspected that he was bullying Kunna by using the name of 'cousin'?
"Haha, as long as you like it." Taibetha twitched her lips and said casually to deal with it.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little weird. Mu Hua was puzzled. Could it be because Kunna was older than him?
Tsk, what a little girl, she knows nothing.
