Chapter 338 The Conspiracy Revealed
"I'll hold it back, you guys go and deal with the things in the lake!" Legolas greeted suddenly.

At this time, the spider monster's whole body was wet, and every movement swayed a large amount of corrosive lake water.

Ian and Aragorn are in close combat, and it is difficult to play with their hands tied.

On the contrary, Legolas, the elf, can take advantage of long-range attacks and flexible speed to slowly fly the kite.

Of course, the main reason Legolas took the initiative to offer suggestions was because he suddenly saw something unusual.

The blood lake did not calm down as before with the departure of the spider monster.

Instead, it became even more weird!

Ian glanced at the blood lake, and agreed to Legolas' suggestion without hesitation:

"it is good!"

Ian and Aragorn decisively withdrew, gave up entanglement with the spider monster, and let go of the space between it and Legolas.

Without the harassment and obstruction of Ian and the other two, the spider monster directly targeted Legolas, the enemy that caused the most damage to it.

'The spider monster's combat experience and skills have been greatly improved, but it still has no wisdom! When Ian made this judgment, he was immediately relieved.

A spider monster without intelligence, Legolas is enough to deal with it.

Legolas led the spider monster a little away from the blood lake, and Ian approached the blood lake.

At this time, the ripples in the blood lake spread round and round, and they tended to intensify.

And Ian also clearly felt that something in the blood lake was recovering.

"What should we do now?" Aragorn suddenly found himself in trouble.

The accident happened in the blood lake, and the blood lake is full of corrosion, so it is impossible to set foot in it.

"Look first!" Ian shook his head slightly.

He couldn't help but think of the breath of life he felt at the bottom of the lake before.

'Is that thing? 'Ian wasn't sure, but that didn't stop him from trying.

At least it's better than doing nothing and just watching!

So Ian greeted Aragorn and said, "Stand back a little, let me try!"

"Okay!" Aragorn nodded, and followed Ian to the shore.

Then Ian took out two grenades, one was dark red, it was the shock grenade he had used before;

The other one is light blue in color and made of another special material, the effect of which is currently unknown.

Ian pulled out the latches of two grenades one after another, and threw them to the center of the blood lake one after another.

The selected target location is just above the place where the breath of life was felt before!

"Boom!" The blue grenade exploded, and the materialized shock wave spread instantly.

Whether it was the air or the green lake water, they were all pushed away by the instant shock wave.

The pushed away lake water formed surging waves and swept towards the shore of the lake.

But Ian didn't care about it, he just laid a thicker wind wall to protect himself and Aragorn.

His main attention was actually on the center of the blood lake.

After the green lake water was pushed away, what was at the bottom of the lake was finally revealed.

There was no pile of corpses as expected, and even if there were corpses, they had already been corroded into a part of the lake.

"This is?..." Ian and Aragorn only saw a huge egg!
The blue-gray giant egg looks like stone, with mysterious patterns all over the surface, and a strong vitality can be vaguely felt inside.

The remaining shock wave pushed down the bottom of the lake, but had no effect on the giant egg.

"What a hard eggshell!" Ian frowned slightly.

With the blood lake water and this hard egg shell, under the double protection, it is absolutely not easy to hurt the life in it!
At this moment, the second dark red grenade landed on the giant egg, and then exploded instantly!
"Bang!" The shock wave spread, the effect was not as shocking as the shock wave, but the deep-seated lethality was obviously stronger.

"Buzz!..." The eggshell, which was still indestructible just now, shook instantly this time.

Although the eggshell is hard, it cannot be immune to the resonance effect.

"Can it be broken?..." In the expectant eyes of the two of Ian.

The lake water that was displaced by the shock wave just now swept back and submerged the giant egg in an instant.

I can't see the subsequent changes of the giant egg, but Ian is very clear that the giant egg must not be broken.

After all, the resonance effect was the strongest at the beginning. At the beginning, the giant egg could not be destroyed instantly, and the follow-up was even more impossible.

Ian understood this truth, and Aragorn could also guess it.

"Do you still have the weapon just now?" Aragorn asked.

"Of course there are still weapons, but they are not many, and their power is limited to this!" Ian replied.

Because of the different laws of the world, Ian failed to make explosives in this world. Both types of grenades are made of special materials, and their quantity and power are very limited.

"Enough! We don't have to destroy the giant egg directly, just interrupting it is enough!" Aragorn analyzed.

Indeed, if it is simply to interrupt or wake up the life in the giant egg, the power just now is barely enough.

After all, since the resonance of the eggshell can be caused, the vibration must have been transmitted into the giant egg.

"Okay!" Ian nodded slightly, and took out the remaining six grenades, two shock bombs, and shock bombs.

At this time, because of the previous impact bomb, the lake surface was surging, and the waves were very fierce. The lake shore was the most direct victim.

Even the entire Blood Lake expanded in a small circle.

Looking at the shore of the lake that has expanded to a distance of ten meters, Ian greeted Aragorn again:
"Let's step back a little bit!"

Legolas on the other side urged loudly:
"Ian, hurry up!"

Legolas himself was not in danger. The spider monster was huge and its eight legs were relatively flexible, but it was still far from meeting Legolas.

Just because of the movement of the blood lake, the spider monster showed signs of abandoning Legolas and returning to the blood lake.

In this case, Legolas wanted to continue to drag the spider monster, so it naturally became difficult.

"Understood! Hold on for a while!"

Ian stepped back to a safe distance, immediately responded to Legolas, and started throwing grenades at the same time.

As in the previous strategy, the shock round creates the attack environment, and the shock round makes a direct attack.

"Boom!...Boom! Boom!...Boom!..."

With the explosion of grenades one after another, the vibration of the giant egg actually became stronger and stronger.

"There's a show!" Ian and the two's eyes lit up.

The last shock bomb exploded.

"Crack!..."

A crack suddenly appeared on the giant egg, and then more and more cracks became bigger and bigger.

It seems that the shock bomb attack has worked, and the giant egg is being destroyed?
But at this moment, Ian's expression suddenly changed:
"It's not being destroyed by us, but the life inside is about to be born!"

He clearly felt that the breath of life in the giant egg was rising crazily, and he didn't feel the slightest instability.

And his intuition is frantically warning that fatal danger is approaching rapidly.

This undoubtedly shows that the life in the giant egg is likely to be born normally, rather than being awakened by their interruption.

"Retreat one after another!" Ian and Aragorn looked at each other and chose to retreat one after another.

Ian's grenade has been exhausted, and other equipment and props are hard to reach under the blood lake.

So they wanted to prevent the life in the giant egg from being born, but it was already too late!

There is no way, they can only retreat temporarily and wait and see if there is a chance.

At the same time, Legolas also gave up entanglement with the spider monster and let it return to the blood lake.

The three joined together again, and Legolas immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"The life in the blood lake was born normally, we can't stop it!" Aragorn replied.

As long as the life in the blood lake has no brain problems and doesn't leave the blood lake before it recovers, the three of Ian will have nothing to do with it.

"How could this be?" Legolas frowned instantly.

It was a bit hard for him to accept such a failure.

"The target is in the blood lake, and there is nothing we can do!" Ian replied helplessly. A small blood lake left them helpless.

Ian didn't expect that he would encounter such a blood lake in the end, so he didn't make targeted preparations in advance.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be helpless!

It's just some super corrosive lake water. He has a lot of ways to deal with it, but these ways need to be prepared in advance.

With only an LV3 material master, there is still too little Ian can do.

It takes too long to make equipment on site, and it is not enough to directly control the lake water.

There are other forces permeating the blood lake, repelling Ian's control.

Just being an LV3 material master is not enough to help him seize control of the lake.

"I can only wait!" Aragorn tightly held the big sword in his hand, but there was not much strength in his tone.

The situation in front of him was beyond his ability and made him feel powerless.

"You can wait, things shouldn't be that simple!" Ian reassured.

It must not be a small plan for the giant spiders to make such full preparations.

If they succeed in the end, the movement and impact will definitely not be small.

Even the wood elves might have to move out of Mirkwood completely.

But in Ian's memory, there is no such plot at all, and even the information about the giant spider is very scarce.

When this happens, there are only two possibilities:
Either there is a slight deviation in the plot in Ian's memory, which is very likely.

After all, the movies he has seen are just information projections accidentally captured by other dimensions.And when the dimension information is projected, it is normal to lose a little bit!
There is another possibility: the plan of the giant spider family failed, but because of the special and closed nature of the dark jungle, no news has spread.

At this point in the analysis, Ian has already guessed in his mind: "It should be the latter possibility!"

Combined with the information he has collected one after another, Ian has already guessed about the plan of the giant spider.

It can only be said that the ideals of the giant spider family are full, but there is almost no chance of success!

The three retreated to the edge of the underground space, ready to evacuate at any time, and then continued to pay attention to the changes in the blood lake.

After the spider monster got rid of Legolas' entanglement, it returned directly to the blood lake. Its whole body melted little by little, and finally only a little green light remained, shooting towards the life breath at the bottom of the lake.

In an instant, the originally turbulent lake calmed down instantly, as calm as a mirror!
At the same time, Ian and the others immediately sensed that the breath of life at the bottom of the lake has directly increased by a large amount.

"Sure enough, the spider monster and the life at the bottom of the lake are one, and the life at the bottom of the lake is the main body!" Ian confirmed this guess,

"If I'm not mistaken, the last green light just now should be a broken soul!"

"That spider monster is mainly composed of an incomplete soul, plus a lot of blood lake water? No wonder it can't be killed no matter how hard it is!" Legolas' question was instantly solved.

The incomplete soul is the core, and if this core is not resolved, it is impossible to completely kill the spider monster.

It's a pity that it's too late to understand this key information now!
The three of Ian didn't feel much annoyed, because they lacked the means to directly harm the soul, even if they arrived earlier, they still couldn't help the spider monster.

Take back the incomplete soul, complement your own soul, and the breath of life soars rapidly.

The life at the bottom of the lake began to rise from the bottom of the lake little by little. During the whole process, the lake surface remained terribly calm without any waves.

As it gradually appeared on the surface of the lake, the figures of the creatures at the bottom of the lake were revealed in front of the eyes of the three of Ian.

Also a big spider!

It's just that this time it's no longer a deformed monster, but a giant spider that looks exactly like a giant spider.

It's just that this big spider is already over ten meters high, its whole body is dark golden, and its eight sharp legs are faintly shining with metallic luster. The whole aura of the big spider looks very terrifying.

But seeing this big spider, Ian's first reaction was not shock, but surprise!

Not surprised by its shape or strength.

After all, it is the big boss of the Mirk Forest, powerful, terrifying, and even weird, etc. These are all intended meanings, which are normal situations, and Ian should not be surprised.

"There seems to be something wrong with this spider?" After a brief surprise, Aragorn and the others also noticed something was wrong.

It's just that they are limited by their eyesight, and they are not sure what is wrong!

"There is indeed a problem!" Ian nodded affirmatively and explained,

"This spider has a strong breath, but it doesn't have any emotions. It's more like a tool than life!"

After coming out from the bottom of the lake, the big spider lay quietly on the surface of the lake without any movement, as if Ian and the other three did not exist.

Compared with the previous spider monster, this big spider in a complete state is even less like a life.

Although spider monsters have no intelligence, they at least have the emotion of 'crazy'.

Obviously, the big spider in front of him is definitely not the 'spider god' believed by the spider kings!
"This big spider is just a tool, isn't it the source of the disaster?" Legolas frowned.

"It is indeed just a tool spider, but this does not mean that it is not important. On the contrary, it is very important, even if it is not the root cause, it is also a very critical core node!" Ian comforted.

Whether it is strength or location, it can prove the importance of this big spider.

It is not just a simple tool, it may even be the core medium for the 'Spider God' to realize his plan.

Destroying this big spider will definitely destroy the plan of that 'Spider God' and keep Mirkwood temporarily.

"Even if it's just a tool, it's not something we can deal with!" Aragorn pointed out the crux of the problem.

"It's really hard to deal with!" Ian nodded, then changed his tone,
"But we don't need to kill it, we just need to interfere with it and destroy this conspiracy, that's enough!"
