Chapter 116 Spider, a big spider, tiger spider

Red eyes.

Six scarlet eyes spread out like the shape of a character "八".

The ferocious and clear body is divided into the chest and abdomen, and two fangs protrude from the mouth dripping with pale green mucus.

In the thick, foggy darkness of the forest, the scarlet eyes emitted a blood-red light.

Under the dim illumination of the fluorescent lamp, its dark blue shell shone with a cold metallic luster.

It was a spider, about the size of a dog, with eight hideous long legs covered with spikes sticking out from its oval body and firmly embedded in the ground.

Compared to normal spiders, its pair of front legs are covered with yellow and black hair, while the remaining three pairs of legs are very short and thick.

Two feet away, the trumpeter had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

Seven or eight Guards soldiers had already arrived. They raised their four-meter-long spears and formed a semicircle, but no one dared to get too close.

Horn raised the glowstone in his hand, and a flash of magic power appeared in his eyes. The glowstone in his hand immediately shone brightly, forcing the giant spider to retreat two steps.

It was not until then that Horn discovered that one of its legs had been broken and was only connected to the body by a few strands of flesh and blood.

With the help of the light, Horn walked closer and looked at the trumpeter. His face was green and sticky juice was flowing from the corners of his mouth.

There was a big hole in his chest, and the flesh at the hole had turned dark green and rotten.

Horn's face suddenly darkened.

Das came over with a clockwork gun in his hand, his face somewhat pale, "Your Majesty, be careful."

"What's the situation?" Horn asked Das, whose head was wrapped in gauze.

"Our gunner just fired a shot, but the light was too dim and he missed." Das patted his gun barrel, "I fired another shot, 10 farthest, but only broke one of its legs."

"Brother, are there any monsters?" With her frizzy hair loose, Jeanna climbed over from behind the carriage barefoot.

Seeing the big spider, Jeanna immediately stretched out her hand, and electric light began to condense immediately.

"Wait a minute." Horn stopped Jeanna, "Let them handle it first, and then take action if there is any danger."

Standing on the front line facing the giant spider, Rudilo was extremely anxious.

"Don't be scared." Rudilo lowered his voice, "Wanpiao and the Saint are here, they are watching us."

"Is this a monster? Where can I find such a big spider?"

"Yes, we don't have a holy gun. Let's wait for the gunners to come, or Her Highness the Saint will do."

Seeing that everyone around him was relying on the Saint and the Gunner, Rudilo became ruthless.

He simply picked up a spear, left the people around him and strode forward.

"Hey!" Seeing Rudilo moving forward, the remaining command companies had to follow and provide cover.

Otherwise, according to military law, you will be beaten with a stick.

He approached the giant spider with a charging posture. According to his daily training, Rudilo held the butt of the gun in one hand and the shaft in the other, and while taking a step forward, he stabbed the giant spider with the gun.

The sharp tip of the gun pierced the big spider's back shell, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

The spear was retracted, and a cut the size of a little finger appeared on the back shell.

The big spider trembled all over.

As if it was angered by Rudilo, the gray-black spider that was originally shaking and trying to leave made a terrifying hissing sound.

Green juice rose up, and the spider suddenly jumped from the ground and jumped onto a chestnut tree nearby.

With its body lying sideways, it seemed to be using the force to pull its short and thick legs together, and its entire body jumped out from the tree trunk like a spring.

Rudilo was overjoyed.

Friends who often engage in cold weapon combat know that jumping is strictly prohibited on the battlefield.

Excluding the queue factor, from a personal perspective, it is very difficult to dodge attacks because you cannot use the force in mid-air.

"throat!"

The spear was raised, the right leg was pulled back, and the tip of Rudilo's spear was aimed right at its soft white belly.

A ball of sticky white spider silk came towards him, sprayed on Rudilo's chest, and directly bound his hands.

Rudilo only felt that his hands were locked by iron chains and he couldn't break free at all.

When he looked up again, the pair of fangs were already right in front of him.

He howled and turned his body sideways suddenly. Driven by inertia, the spear hit the big spider's body.

The big spider in the air was knocked off its track by this collision.

Falling to the ground, Rudilo awkwardly dodged the giant spider's venomous fangs.

Everyone screamed, but the sound of the gears turning was hidden in the background.

The big spider heard a "crunching" sound.

It still remembered that it was after this sound that one of its legs was broken.

Six red eyes immediately looked towards the source of the sound, and it was the upright giant insect that had attacked it before.

The big spider jumped up from the spot and landed on the pine tree trunk. Its seven legs contracted and vibrated, and it jumped high. It jumped over the first line of guards, but at the end of the arc was Das.

Das raised his head and stared at the increasingly clear scarlet eyes as if in contempt.

It was obvious that the disaster was about to fall on his head, but Das was not afraid at all.

This is what he was waiting for.

He raised the barrel of the gun and reached out to pull out the clockwork key.

A whistling sound came from the balance air pressure hole of the gun barrel. The air flowed violently, causing the originally straight grass to bend down.

Roaring, a black shadow wrapped in thunder burst out from the gun barrel.

At a speed that was almost invisible, the black shadow pounced on the giant spider's head and chest.

The scarlet spider's eyes exploded directly, and one of its fangs was broken by the iron sand.

The fangs flew high up, rolled to the ground with venom, and turned several times before stopping.

Pushed by the firing rod, the iron sand and stone bullets cut through the air, penetrated into the hard shell of the giant spider, and swirled into its flesh and blood organs.

A large amount of blood and flesh splashed backwards.

The force was so great that the giant spider that had pounced on it was knocked flying backwards.

It drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

It rolled over and over in a convulsion, with its eight legs facing the air, twitching from time to time.

It took almost a minute before he finally died.

After all, when it was hit, it was only two or three meters away from the muzzle, which was equivalent to being shot head-on. At this distance, both Barnetts would be killed.

Fortunately, Das is very skilled and brave.

Horn looked at the spider corpse swaying left and right and said, "This should be the giant spider from the Wild Spider Forest?"

"No, it's not." Sissi's crisp voice came from behind, "This should be just an ordinary small jumping spider among the giant spiders. The real giant spider, according to the notes, is probably as big as a cow."

"As big as a cow? Are you sure it's not a monster?"

"Of course not. The giant spider's ancestors were said to be monsters, but they inherited a part of their extraordinary bodies. Over time, they became like this."

Stroking his chin, Horn frowned.

These days, we have been relying on Carrie to recall the route as we walked. If we take the wrong path and are surrounded by those giant spiders, are these people really strong enough to fight them?

How about we rest here for two days and collect a few more clockwork guns before leaving?

But delaying it for a few more days didn't seem like he would be able to improve his strength much, as he couldn't play a hundred clubs a day.

But there was not much food left. Horn calculated that with the potato roots he had collected earlier, they could only last for another ten days at most.

If I waste too much time, I don’t know if I will have enough food to cross the wild spider forest.

These soldiers must overcome their fear of monsters and giant spiders.

I wasn't afraid of fighting for the pass and taking the bridge, but I was scared when facing the giant spider.

Just as Horn was hesitating, Madeleine arrived in a hurry.

After confirming that the giant spider was dead, Madeleine walked closer and asked: "What should we do with this body? Throw it far away? Will it attract its companions if we leave it like this?"

"What are you throwing away? This is a good thing."

Sissi walked forward, picked up a knife, cut open its abdomen, pulled out a ball of sticky spider silk and showed it to Horn.

"Spider silk can be used to make ropes, spider eyes can be used as alchemical materials, and spider meat can be eaten. It tastes like chicken and is very crispy when roasted."

"Ugh..." Madeleine couldn't help but spit out, "This stinks too much."

Smelling the stench, Horn waved his hand and said, "It's really disgusting, let's just forget it."

"Just use slime to clean the internal organs. You can take away the valuable materials and sell them for a lot of money on the black market."

"Madeleine, you handle it."

"Me?" Madeleine pointed at herself with her index finger.

Horn covered his nose and left quickly: "It's you."

After saying goodbye to Sissi and Madeleine, Horn did not return to the tent, but took Das with him and walked towards the barracks area.

Sure enough, halfway through the journey, he met Rudilo, who was walking back dejectedly.

Clapping his hands, Das on the side immediately handed over a clockwork gun.

"Rudylo!"

When Rudilo turned around, he saw a long object thrown at him. He subconsciously caught it, but was almost pulled down by the weight.

Looking down, he saw the clockwork gun he had been dreaming of.

"You are so brave. Your courage is worthy of a holy gun." Horn stepped forward and smoothed the wrinkles of his cloak. "I will report your deeds tomorrow morning."

　p.s. come!
