Chapter 241 242. Giant Spider

You can also see some dark purple moss in the rock crevices, and there are even some white fluff growing on the surface of these moss. There are basically no weeds in the entire pine forest. The cold south wind blows from the mountain pass, and only the tall and straight trees are there. Red pines stand on Three Passes.

When we walked into the pine forest, we found that many pine trees had their roots deeply embedded in the stone crevices.

Roy followed the adventure group into the forest and found that there were still some broken stone walls built with stones. Although many of them only had their foundations left, there were obviously some buildings on these ruins.

Elves do not like to live in stone houses, and the foundations indicate that the houses must be very large.

This ruin is located in an open space in the pine forest. This is the center of Pass No. 3. Roy looked along the foundations of these stone walls. These stone foundations can be connected to the mountains on both sides. They look more like It is a city wall and a military stronghold built behind the wall.

Only partial outlines of the cornerstones remain.

Looking at the peaks on both sides from here, you can see some griffins circling on the top of the peaks, where is the griffin's nest.

"When we were at the bottom of the mountain, I didn't realize that the pass and the peak were so far away..." Roy whispered to Sabrina.

Guide Margery and Instructor Nora were already standing on the south slope of the pass, looking towards the other side of the Griffin Barrier Mountain. They didn't say a word, their eyes were full of shock.

The members of the adventure group walked over one after another. Everyone stood on the rocky slope and looked towards the south of the Barrier Mountains through the sparse pine forest.

There is still a vast jungle in front of us. Looking down from a high place, the jungle looks like a piece of green grass. Several winding rivers divide the jungle into several pieces. Looking far away, there is actually another piece of jungle. blue sea.

Wherever everyone could see, they could only see the edge of the sea, and the areas farther away were hidden in a faint mist.

"The Partington plane is really big. It turns out that the place we currently occupy is just a small corner of this plane." Instructor Eleanor said with deep emotion.

"It's a pity that the Barrier Mountains lie in front of us. It's not easy to climb over this mountain. If we want to take a detour, we must first open a passage on the Blackwater Swamp." Instructor Nora obviously has a deep understanding of the area near the Barrier Mountains. Very detailed research.

Roy turned around and looked north. The barrier village at the foot of the mountain was completely missing.

However, he clearly knew the location of the mountain col, the territory of the Glazed Beast, the Territory of the Dire Wolf, and the elven villages. They had almost become part of the jungle here. Apart from a piece of green, there was nothing else to be found at all.

Padstow City could not be seen. He had climbed above the clouds, and the white clouds in the distance seemed to be trampled under his feet.

Amidst the whistling wind, a rustling sound suddenly came out, and then the crisp sound of some pine branches breaking was heard. Everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from, and the strong south wind swept away the broken branches. The giant spider, which was only bigger than a griffon, quickly crawled towards the adventure group.

It has eight legs several meters long, which are thicker than an adult's thighs and covered with fine white down.

The giant spider has a circle of ferocious compound eyes on its head, and two huge black fangs that are one meter long. It drags its big round butt and moves quickly through the pine forest. It hesitates because its shape is too huge. There will always be some branches broken, which is why there is a crisp sound.

It looked very excited, probably because it had been hungry for too long, and it rushed towards the prey when it saw it.

"It's a black spider. Why is there such a thing here? Get ready to fight, Scarlett..." Instructor Nora shouted.

Magician Scarlett immediately responded: "This guy is not afraid of ice magic at all!"

Instructor Nora quickly said: "Use an ice wall to block it, Gru, before it rushes over, quickly shoot its eyes..."

Before Instructor Nora finished speaking, an ice wall crashed down on the forest floor twenty meters away, followed immediately by another ice wall, making a loud noise.

Magician Scarlett didn't even cast a spell. She directly tore open the two magic scrolls and released two ice spells. Then she laid out an icy path full of icy debris behind the ice wall. However, Roy felt that this ice path It shouldn't be of any use to the big guy in front of you.

At this time, Instructor Gru had jumped onto a pine tree, stepping on the horizontal branches of the pine tree, leaning on the trunk of the tree with his back, and opened the combat short bow in his hand.

A white light wrapped in the power of the wind element flashed in front of his eyes, and another piercing arrow was shot out.

At this moment, the giant spider just hit the ice wall. With the ice mist spreading everywhere, the giant spider rushed forward without stopping, and the friction sound of its limbs was extremely harsh.

The arrow under the white light accurately hit a fist-sized compound eye, and then disappeared into its huge body.

This is just one of its twenty-some compound eyes. Although the arrow penetrated the giant spider's body, it did not affect it. Instead, it made its speed faster. It did not even try to avoid the giant spider. The big tree crashed straight towards the adventure group.

Instructor Nora, Instructor Eleanor, and Instructor Virgil formed an iron triangle to face the giant spider. The three of them did not dare to be careless at all, and showed their "power" one after another.

Miss Christine also followed Instructor Gru's example and shot a wind arrow at the giant spider. The arrow was accurately inserted into the giant spider's other compound eye, but the compound eye exploded into a pool of liquid. Come, the arrow is stuck in the eye socket.

The giant spider was a little angry. It stopped suddenly on the spot, lifted its body up with its eight legs, exposed its huge abdomen from under the body, exposed the spinneret behind the spindle, and sprayed countless spinnerets towards everyone. White spider silk comes.

Some of these spider silks are stuck on the pine trees, some are stuck on the rocks, and more spider silks are covering Instructor Nora and the others.

There was no need for Instructor Nora to remind her. The long swords in the hands of Instructors Eleanor and Virgil actually emitted a dark red light. Even Magician Scarlet released a fireball to meet the spider threads. explode.

When spider silk encounters flames, it is quickly burned away.

The long swords of Instructors Eleanor and Virgil seemed to be attached to flames, and some spider threads stuck to them and melted away immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the giant spider rushed in front of Instructor Nora, and inserted a five-meter-long furry white leg towards her body. Instructor Nora did not resist at all, and rolled decisively on the ground to avoid it. He was attacked by the giant spider, quickly approached the giant spider, and slashed at the joint of one of its legs.

There was just a ding sound, and the long sword did not cut off one of the giant spider's legs, but only chopped off a spike at the joint.

Instructor Nora twisted her body and nimbly dodged the next few attacks from the giant spider.

Instructor Vergil on the other side also implemented almost the same battle plan as Instructor Nora. As a swordsman, Instructor Vergil successfully cut the joints of the giant spider's legs. The hard exoskeleton was wrapped with crystal tender meat. .

The giant spider felt a bit painful. Dozens of compound eyes stared at Instructor Vergil at the same time, making Instructor Vergil feel dizzy.

An ice arrow exploded in front of the spider's compound eye, and countless ice mist filled the air. Instructor Vergil immediately woke up and jumped away quickly... A leg was inserted fiercely into the circle where Instructor Vergil was standing, and the rocks on the ground suddenly fell into pieces. .

Instructor Eleanor took the opportunity to get around to the tail of the giant spider. This was its weakest point. It was out of sight and was dragging its huge abdomen.

Unfortunately, the leather on the abdomen was soft and tough, and Instructor Eleanor's long sword could not penetrate it at all. The giant spider sensed the threat from behind, turned around quickly, and pounced on Instructor Eleanor.

Instructor Gru took advantage of the moment when it raised its body and shot another arrow. This time, Instructor Gru did not use a penetrating arrow. The arrow accurately scratched the two eyeballs of the giant spider.

Miss Christine's second arrow missed the target and hit the giant spider's back covered with white hair.

Sabrina and Roy both stared at the battlefield with nervous expressions. They did not join the battle, but guarded Instructor Gru and Miss Christine respectively.

Only then did the giant spider realize that something was not good. Although it was only slightly injured, the giant spider had already begun to think about retreating.

Instructor Eleanor retreated towards a pine tree. As she retreated, her body gradually faded, and finally she became completely invisible. The giant spider not only missed the target, but also completely lost its target.

Instructors Nora and Virgil came in from both sides again, slashing at the joints of the legs.

This time, Instructor Nora also cut a wound on the giant spider's leg joint, and the giant spider immediately retracted the injured leg.

Instructor Vergil on the other side was seen by the eyes of the giant spider. The giant spider raised its legs and stabbed Instructor Vergil, forcefully forcing Instructor Vergil back.

Seeing instructor Eleanor's body disappear, the giant spider immediately stretched out its legs and climbed toward the pine tree.

The gaps in the sparse pine forest are just enough for the giant spider to climb everywhere. The way it climbs is also very unique. Because of its huge body, it inserts two legs into the trunk of a pine tree and the other two. A leg was inserted into the trunk of another pine tree. As the body rose rapidly, countless spider silks fluttering in the wind spewed out from the tail spinneret. These spider silks were light, tough and sticky.

Although Miss Scarlett released the fireball technique again, the range of the fireball was very limited.

There is no way, it is already rare for an ice magician to throw fireballs...

Instructor Vergil ran out of the area covered with spider silk, but Instructor Nora ran under a tree, quickly climbed up the tree, and chased the giant spider.

Instructor Eleanor's body appeared next to a pine tree, but she was unlucky. There was a bit of spider silk on her shoulder, and she was stuck to the pine tree.
