Chapter 113, Spider Swarm

 The breeze blew, and the upside-down cocoons swayed slightly.

Like a hanging white lantern.

Several people in Team 8 frowned and their expressions became more solemn.

 It seems that this is not as simple as being attacked.

 “Check it out!” said Fisher.

 The thief ran with great strides, jumped up, and cut off the connecting white threads with the dagger in his hand.

With a bang, the cocoon fell from mid-air.

The thief squatted down, opened a gap with a dagger, and then cut a gap at one end.

 The orc corpse with a purple face inside was revealed.

 Everyone’s faces became increasingly ugly.

 In this cocoon, are all corpses wrapped?

Then the target of their rescue this time may be in danger.

 Tap tap tap~!

 Suddenly, the sound of violent running came from ahead.

The ranger's expression changed and he said, "It's a spider, a huge spider, approaching us."

 At the same time as he spoke, a black-haired spider, close to the size of a brown bear, quickly appeared in everyone's sight.

 Six eyes, sharp legs, and burrs like steel needles all over its body.

 One?

 Shuashuashua~!

Eyes, one by one, open from the back of the large spider.

 Densely packed black spiders the size of a human head lay on the back of the big spider in layers, like rolling ink.

 Only when you open your eyes can you see existence.

 Damn it, this is entering spider territory.

 Normally, this kind of creature will not intentionally leave its territory, and if you enter without permission, you will be attacked by them.

"Don't provoke it." Fisher immediately signaled not to act rashly.

 Then, he glanced sideways at the ranger beside him, and continued: "Bull, can you communicate? We are here to find someone, so take them and leave."

 The ranger on the side raised one hand, and a faint light connected him to the spider.

 It is not an attack ability, but more like a status.

 The skill is called [Animal Talk], which allows the caster to communicate with the beasts within the range.

"We won't hurt you, we are just looking for someone. He was brought here two days ago. We will take him and leave immediately." The ranger said quickly.

 Beasts or monsters have limited intelligence and their language should be as simple as possible.

The giant spider has six eyes, staring down at several people.

The hair on his body, which was like iron needles, shook and made a rustling sound, and the densely packed small spiders on his back began to move uneasily.

"No, no, we are not with them. We just need to take him away. We can compensate you then, but if he dies here, there will be nothing left."

The ranger continued to speak, but the hand behind his back made a waving motion.

　　means that the purpose cannot be achieved.

 “Back off,” Fischer whispered.

 The team members began to walk backwards in small steps.

Just after taking two steps back, the giant spider's eyes became fierce, opened its ferocious mouthparts, and looked up to the sky and screamed.

　　Hulala~!

 The next second, the spiders hanging on the back spread like spreading ink, densely packed and pitch black.

Countless spiders were chasing a few people.

 Tap tap tap~!

 The team members ran quickly.

 The voices behind him are getting closer and closer.

A few meters away, the spider jumped down from the tree crown and pounced on it.

 “Fight back.”

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Fischer gave the order again.

Everyone turned around, swung their weapons, and slashed at the incoming spiders.

 Puff puff puff~!

 The long sword slashed across the spider's body, causing smelly mucus to splash.

However, dense crowds of spiders are still coming from behind.

 “Look for an opportunity to kill the mother.”

"clear!"

 …

the other side.

 In the woods overgrown with weeds.

Duke walked in front, swinging his battle ax, chopping the thorns and branches in front of him.

He looked back and said, "Captain, there is no road here. Why are we going here?"

 “The road they took is not safe.” Wu Heng replied.

They were not notified of Team 8’s actions, and Wu Heng did not want to go with them.

There is no danger if there are many people, but it is difficult to move. Moreover, before entering the woods, Wu Heng let Xiao Xiao eavesdrop on the clues they found.

　　It’s not that I want to take any credit, I’m just afraid that the other party has some purpose to plot against me.

  After all, the ‘Yazd’ who recruited him into the association could set up a trap and almost killed him, so the people here are even less trustworthy.

When he learned that he was going to enter the dense forest, Wu Heng also asked "Xiao Xiao" to explore it in advance.

 Looking down from the sky.

 The entire canopy looks like it is shrouded in spider webs.

And there are also a lot of spiders in the depths.

Team 8 directly followed the traces and entered the spider's range.

Wu Heng took Duke around and took another path.

“Captain, are you heading in the right direction? Everything looks the same around here. Let’s not get lost.”

The dense forest is extremely quiet.

 The entire space seemed to have been pressed on a still button, with not a trace of insects or birds chirping.

Duke was leading the way, muttering as he walked.

　　Bang boom~!

While the two were talking, violent explosions and sounds of fighting came from behind.

Wu Heng looked back, but the dense trees blocked his sight and he couldn't see anything.

 “Keep walking, faster.”

"okay!"

 After being scolded, Duke also closed his mouth and accelerated his pace.

 Walked some distance.

Wu Heng continued: "Go to the right and go straight through."

"good!"

Through several woods, the trees in front were covered with thick spider webs, and the layers were like gauze hanging in the forest.

With a few axes, the cobwebs were torn apart.

 Penetrated directly into the interior.

 In the depths covered with cobwebs, there is a tall giant tree, with humanoid cocoons hanging on the branches, some of which are still squirming slightly.

There is a wooden house next to the giant tree, also wrapped in white spider silk.

 Only a mottled, moss-covered wooden door was exposed.

 “Team, captain, what is this?” Duke asked.

Wu Heng said directly: "Go, put down all those cocoons and see if the dead are still alive."

 “Oh! Huh?” Duke was stunned.

The dead are alive?

　　Does this mean you want the other person to die or live?

 Duke didn’t think much, walked over quickly, and began to cut off the cocoons.

Wu Heng, taking Bassen and Bawudong, walked directly into the wooden house.

The interior of the wooden house was also wrapped in spider silk, and the wooden furniture was still somewhat rotten, and there was even some insect slime left on it.

 Scanned around and found nothing that could be looted.

Withdrew again.

This should be a hunter's temporary cabin, but it has been abandoned for some years.

　　It was used as a nest by spiders.

 “Captain, someone is still alive.” Duke shouted from outside.

Wu Heng looked over and saw that Duke had cut open the cocoon, revealing the head wrapped inside.

 “How many people are alive?”

“Three, the condition is not very good, and may not last long.”

 “Let’s see if we can wake him up?”

Duke felt a little distressed, but he still took out a bottle of potion and poured it into one of them's mouth.

  After taking the potion, the middle-aged man in front of him slowly woke up.

Looking around with panicked eyes.

 Seeing spider webs all around, his face turned pale again.

Wu Heng was afraid that he would faint again, so he asked: "From the mercenary group?"

 The other party nodded.

 “Who is ‘Abdu’?”

 “I, you guys came to save me?”

What a coincidence? The first thing you ask is the person you are looking for.

“Your wife posted a distress call in the association, we are here to rescue you, just make sure it is you.”

 “Thank you, thank you….”

“Okay, just make sure it’s you and go out first…”

 The words have not yet finished.

There was suddenly a rustling sound from behind.

 Then, I saw a giant spider running along the road with a large number of small spiders.
