Chapter 36 The Underground Monster (for further reading)

"This way, go in this direction!" Stephana suddenly pointed in one direction.

Richard was very puzzled, because the direction Stephana pointed to was a remote and narrow cave, and the sparse spider webs around it clearly revealed that this place could not be the old nest of crystal web spiders.They are here to investigate the reason for the increase in crystal web spiders. They must go straight to Huanglong to find out the reason. What is the reason for going to a remote cave?
"Should we go in this direction?" Javier pointed to the area directly ahead, where the spider webs and white cocoons were obviously denser.

"Yeah, Stephana, why did you go to that cave? The spider web is so sparse, it shouldn't be the cave of the crystal web spider?" Lena also asked suspiciously.

"Intuition!" Stephana didn't explain too much, but the firmness in her eyes seemed not to be refuted by everyone.

Li Cha doesn't care, as long as there are monsters to kill, he will earn energy points!

So at Stephana's insistence, everyone started to go deep into the cave, but once they entered the cave, they found that although the entrance was narrow, the inside was getting wider and wider, and even the tall Javier could walk upright.

The cave was extremely deep, and after walking slowly for more than a hundred meters, everyone found that the tunnel obviously extended downwards, that is, the deeper it went, the farther it was from the ground, and there were more and more forks, extending in all directions.

Miraculously, Stephana could accurately point out the direction of travel every time she crossed a fork in the road, and then encountered more and more spiders, from scattered black widows to small groups of seven or eight black widows. To the crystal web spiders with swarms of twenty or thirty black widows!

After killing three groups of crystal web spiders in succession, everyone was exhausted, so they rested for a while in a groove in the rock wall of a cave.

Li Cha stepped forward and glanced at the harvest.

[Energy Points]: 1674
The corner of Li Cha's mouth raised slightly, 1674, this is still the case that he has already used up 500 points of energy. Sure enough, every time he comes to the wild to do missions, no, to be precise, every time he comes to kill spiders, he has gained a lot. The spider is really his lucky star!
As far as this is concerned, Li Cha still hopes that the spiders here can grow continuously, so that he can accept the task of cleaning up the crystal web spiders to earn points, and at the same time earn energy points, killing two birds with one stone!
After the break was over, everyone continued to tiptoe forward.

Because we are in a deep spider cave, a tiny sound can travel very far. Therefore, in order to avoid being made dumplings by a large number of spiders, everyone should be extra careful!
Javier took the lead to turn a corner and stopped behind a boulder in the passage, because he found that looking forward along the boulder, he could see that the front suddenly became very spacious, and there was such an open place in such a deep underground. It's like a hall with high arches.

But obviously, judging from the deep scars all around the wall, this place should be caused by the claws of giant spiders.

When Javier stepped forward to lean against the boulder and just poked his head out, intending to take a closer look at the empty hall, Javier just glanced at it, then turned back in an instant, showing horror on his face!

Everyone was very surprised. After all, Javier was an old student. He came all the way, even if he encountered two groups of crystal web spiders, he was calm and calm. How could he be so frightened after just one glance?

When everyone bowed their waists and carefully poked their heads out to observe, they saw two huge spiders, one black and one white, standing in the middle of the empty hall!Surrounded by the shells of various large beasts and even monsters, the rotting shells are densely covered with egg-sized white spider eggs, making the scalp numb!
There are also many crystal web spiders patrolling back and forth and a large number of black widows!
The black-striped spider was about the size of a calf. The head and claws at the front of the body had turned into a terrifying human female face. The four pairs of legs were as sharp as knives. , its toes are easily inserted into the hard ground.

And the larger white spider with dust is probably a variant of the crystal web spider. It is much larger than the black spider, but it is mainly due to its cylindrical abdomen, which is bulging, like a nine-month pregnant human. pregnant woman.

When Li Cha saw it, he was also in a cold sweat. It seemed that they had already found the reason for the abnormal increase in spiders.

The shape of the white spider can be seen by a fool at a glance, it is a female spider that can only lay eggs.

Just when everyone was shocked, Li Cha tilted his head unintentionally, but unexpectedly found that Stephana was staring at the two giant spiders in front of him as if she was seeing a treasure, and the surprise in her eyes was beyond words.

After everyone retreated to the passage, Stephana's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she said, "The Man-faced Demon Spider! It's the Man-faced Demon Spider and the Queen of the Crystal Web Spider! I didn't expect there to be a Man-faced Demon Spider here. This is really surprising." ! Originally, I thought it would be great to have a crystal web spider here!"

"Human-faced spider?" Li Cha looked puzzled, recalling the "Illustrated Book of Common Monsters in the Sludge Swamp" he had read. He was sure that there were no such monsters in it. Regarding spider monsters, there were only three common ones in the Sludge Swamp. Crystalweb, Darkfang, and Venom Spiders.

He had seen the introduction of the crystal web spider queen, saying that after the crystal web spider group expanded to a certain size, there would be a certain chance of giving birth to crystal web spider queens, but they were extremely rare.Therefore, there are only a few pens in the monster illustrated book.

But it was obvious that the huge black spider in the hall was also the man-faced spider mentioned by Stephana, and its aura was bigger and more terrifying than the Queen of the Crystal Web Spider!
"The Man-faced Demon Spider, a monster that only exists in the abyss, I don't know how it came to the ground, but let's not explore the reason, Li Cha, think of a way to kill them, as long as you can kill them I can"

As if trying to hide something, Stephana immediately stopped talking.

As soon as Li Cha heard it, he knew that this man-faced spider might have a special meaning to Stephana.

Combined with the strange witchcraft that Stephana had to perform every time she killed the crystal web spider before, it is not difficult to guess that it should be to support the mysterious egg in her hand.
