Chapter 574 An Edible Sword
They are just remnants of an army of more than a thousand spiders.
The pool where the six people were hiding suddenly boiled, and then all the water in the pool was splashed away by an explosion. Then, the graceful figure was left in the pool and slowly walked to the shore.
There was a huge noise and naturally she waited for the more than a thousand spider remnants that had just passed by. Wu Meiniang originally thought that she would let them go if they ran far away.
As a result, this group of cuties did not disappoint her. Each one of them rushed towards everyone like wild beasts that had seen their prey.
As military generals, Guan Yinping, Lu Lingqi and Zhao Xiang would naturally not hesitate when faced with the big spiders rushing towards themselves or their companions. They would directly turn into three streams of green gold and silver and rush towards the enemies in three directions. past.
Needless to say, Zhao Xiang's combat prowess is natural. Guan Yinping and Lu Lingqi gained a lot of insights in their previous battles with the Spider Ancestor, even though they did not improve their qualities. Whether it was the weapons in their hands or their understanding of their own moves. It's a step up.
In just one meeting, the three of them killed hundreds of spiders.
If they were rational humans, they would definitely run away immediately after seeing so many of their companions being killed so easily. However, these spiders were instead aroused with ferocity, making their attack movements two points faster.
But in the face of absolute strength, these spiders were simply not enough to see, and most of the remaining spider soldiers were wiped out in minutes.
The few remaining spiders finally began to escape. Just when the three female generals were about to rush forward and kill them all, suddenly a figure riding a machine White Tiger fell from the sky.
"Let me go!"
It was Joan of Arc. After saying that, she rode away on the machine White Tiger, and behind her followed a group of Big Dipper Red Cavalry who were either setting their bows and arranging arrows, or brandishing sabers.
At this time, another starting mechanism, White Tiger's graceful figure, fell between a few people.
"My lord asked me to take some of you back."
This time it was Sun Shangxiang. At the same time, Chen Tao was worried that several people would be injured, so Alice came with her.
After collecting the treasure chests that had fallen to the ground, Joan of Arc had also returned with the treasure chests to join them, and then everyone set off home together.
On the way, Sun Shangxiang briefly told them what happened after the six people left.
"Are you saying that my lord cooked all the hundreds of thousands of spiders that burrowed through?"
After listening to Sun Shangxiang's story, the expression on Lu Lingqi's face could only be described in two words, that is, "Fuck!"
"That's almost it, but not all of them. Some of them escaped, and a rough estimate is that only about 200,000 of them were cooked. There are actually not as many spiders with real fighting power in the city as we thought."
When the group returned to the territory, Chen Tao was still sitting on the city wall waiting for the water in which the spiders were boiled to cool down.
To be honest, spiders dig really deep pits. Every time they dig a layer, they will lay a thick layer of spider silk on it, which can not only stabilize these caves, but also minimize the noise.
However, this makes it extremely difficult for them to escape after being submerged in water, because those spider silks are too tough.
It would be fine if there was only one or two layers of spider silk, as the spiders could easily cut through it by moving their sharp mouthparts.
But spiders lay thousands of layers of spider silk to stay strong.
Moreover, due to the heavy water vapor nearby, the soil layer is very soft, and there are many stones and soil in the thick spider webs, which undoubtedly adds more obstacles to the spider's escape work.
In the end, only less than a thousand spiders escaped from the underground cave where more than 200,000 spiders were hidden. How could it be so miserable?
After returning, the six people also told Chen Tao everything they had seen in the city.
"From the fact that the statue can trap the spider ancestor in the stone chamber, it can be seen that the people here were able to control these spiders. Therefore, the disappearance of the city's population should not be due to these spiders, or rather to the disappearance of people. Later, these spiders gradually took over this place."
Chen Tao briefly summarized the information about Stone City.
"Yes, the food of spiders in the city is also all kinds of wild beasts and insects. When we came back, we opened many web bags used by spiders to store food, and there were only some unknown wild beasts and insects inside."
Wu Meiniang, who had already packed up and changed her clothes, said to Chen Tao while drinking tea.
Chen Tao suddenly thought of another possibility: "Could it be that the creature that built this place is not human?"
"That's impossible. Although the humans painted on the murals in the stone chamber are a little blurry, it can be seen that they are indeed humans."
"That's okay..."
Wu Meiniang, who was drinking tea elegantly, stood up suddenly and stared in the direction of Gentle Village, where she had just changed clothes.
"What's wrong?" Her sudden movements frightened Chen Tao and he swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
Lu Lingqi, who was playing in the beauty lake, suddenly ran over in a hurry and said, "Mei Niang, the sword we picked up is flying."
The three of them then headed straight to Gentle Village.
When they arrived, a large group of soldiers had gathered at the entrance of Gentle Village to watch the fun.
Looking above everyone's heads, one can indeed see a sword floating in the air.
But for some unknown reason, ripples appeared in the air around the sword.
Just when Chen Tao was about to squeeze in, Dragon Vein, who looked like an adult woman, suddenly flew into Gentle Village from a distance. She circled the sword several times, and the excitement on her face was palpable.
"This thing is so delicious."
Longmai said to himself while staring at the sword closely.
And Chen Tao immediately heard another meaning from her words: "You mean this sword is eating, no, it's absorbing spiritual energy?"
"Yes, yes, it's very crazy. And you see it's not just absorbing it, but immediately converting the spiritual energy for its own use after absorbing it."
Dragon Vein pointed at the mottled scars on the sword and said, and those scars are now fading and repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hearing this, Chen Tao suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Wu Meiniang beside him: "Didn't you say that the sword was in two pieces on the mural? But after you found it, although there were scars, the sword was intact. Could it be that this is the sword? The sword absorbs spiritual energy and repairs itself."
"It should take a long time to absorb it. After all, the spiritual energy in this world is so thin that it's basically the same as nothing."
As Longmai said, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword and waved it decently a few times. Then he seemed to find it uninteresting and threw the sword directly to Chen Tao.
Chen Tao swung the sword a few times, only to find that the ripples around the sword disappeared.
"Has this thing stopped absorbing spiritual energy?" Chen Tao asked Longmai.
Dragon Vein nodded, and then shouted at the sword: "As long as you are not hostile to our great lord, you can suck the aura here, but if you suck our aura, you will be the sword in our territory. .”
