I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The gloomy forest is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour any creature that dares to step in.

The fog was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The shadows of the trees swayed in the fog like ghosts.

Zhaoyang Ruyue, Wumeng Tianlong and his group took a deep breath and stepped into this unknown and dangerous place.

"This atmosphere is amazing! It's like a scene from a horror movie!" Wumeng Tianlong complained in a low voice, tightening his weapon.

Zhaoyang Ruyue, who was standing next to him, rolled her eyes at him. "Shut up! Are you trying to attract something?"

In the team, warrior Luo was at the forefront, scanning the surroundings vigilantly with the spear in his hand.

Chen Yong followed closely behind, shouting from time to time, trying to dispel the suffocating feeling of oppression.

Even the usually charming Ma Dancer restrained her charm at this moment, and leaned close to Wei Dancer with a pale face.

Lu Gong was so frightened that his face turned blue and purple, and he was muttering something. It was unclear whether he was praying for the gods' protection or cursing Minister Mo and Advisor Xiao.

"Crunch—crunch—" A teeth-grinding sound came from above, breaking the eerie silence of the forest.

Everyone looked up suddenly and saw a huge black spider, like a demon crawling out of hell, hanging down from the treetops along thick spider silk, its green eyes flashing a chilling light in the thick fog.

"Oh my god! Is this thing sure it didn't come out of the Cthulhu mythology?" Wumeng Tianlong exclaimed, drew out his dagger and took a defensive posture.

"Spiders! So many spiders!" the horse dancer screamed, her voice so sharp that it almost pierced her eardrums.

"Calm down! Protect the queen!" Luo Yongshi roared, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, stabbing fiercely at a giant spider that was rushing towards him.

Chen Yong also joined the battle, waving his weapon.

The giant spiders move quickly, spitting out sticky spider silk that contains corrosive venom. If you get touched by it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Luo Yongshi and Chen Yong fought hard, but there were too many spiders and they gradually became unable to cope.

"We can't go on like this! There are too many spiders!" Chen Yong wiped the sweat from his face and shouted anxiously.

A giant spider took advantage of his unpreparedness and spit out a ball of silk, which was about to wrap around his arm...

"Be careful!" Wumeng Tianlong flew over and kicked the giant spider away, then pulled Chen Yong up and retreated.

"We have to think of a way..." While fending off the spider's attack, he glanced around nervously, hoping to find some hope.

Zhaoyang Ruyue stared at the giant spiders with a sharp gaze, as if looking for their weaknesses... Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something. She turned her head abruptly to look in a certain direction deep in the forest and whispered, "Wait..." Zhaoyang Ruyue narrowed her eyes, staring at the hideous faces of the giant spiders, her brain working rapidly.

Suddenly, she noticed that whenever the wind blew in a certain direction, bringing with it a strange herbal aroma, the giant spiders would retreat slightly, even becoming a little anxious.

"Wait!" Zhaoyang Ruyue shouted, interrupting Wumeng Tianlong who was about to make a desperate fight, "I think I found something!"

She pointed in a certain direction deep in the forest and said hurriedly, "There, that smell! Spiders seem to be afraid of the smell of that herb!" Wumeng Tianlong followed her gaze, sniffed the air, and suddenly realized, "Interesting! Wei Wuzhe, Lu Gong, you are more familiar with herbs. Go over there and take a look and find that herb!"

Wei Wu and Lu Gong looked at each other, and rushed towards the direction Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed without hesitation.

As time passed, the giant spider's attacks became more and more fierce. Luo Yongshi and Chen Yong were already injured and their situation was critical.

"Hurry up! I can't hold on any longer!" Wumeng Tianlong gritted his teeth and kicked a giant spider away. He felt like he was playing an extremely difficult "Whack-a-Mole" game.

Just when everyone was about to despair, Wei Wu and Lu Gong came back with a bunch of herbs that exuded a strange fragrance.

"Found it! This is it!" Dancer Wei shouted excitedly.

Under Zhaoyang Ruyue's command, Lu Gong ignited the herbs with the flint he carried with him, and the strong smell of herbs spread instantly.

A magical scene happened!

Those giant spiders that were originally extremely ferocious fled in panic as if they had encountered their natural enemies, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my god! This is so effective!" Wumeng Tianlong looked at the fleeing spider and couldn't help but sigh, "This operation is simply 666!"

After the battle, Dancer Wei looked at the place on Chen Yong's arm that was scratched by spider silk with heartache, and carefully bandaged the wound for him.

"Does it hurt?" she asked softly, her eyes full of concern.

Chen Yong looked at Dancer Wei and shook his head stupidly.

Luo Yongshi walked up to Zhaoyang Ruyue and praised sincerely: "Miss Zhaoyang, thanks to you this time! Your observation skills are really admirable!" Zhaoyang Ruyue smiled slightly and waved her hand modestly.

However, she noticed that Minister Mo and Advisor Xiao's faces didn't show any joy after surviving the disaster. Instead, a subtle gloom flashed across their faces... "Let's go, let's keep moving forward," Minister Mo suddenly said, his tone carrying a hint of elusive meaning. "The holy relic is still waiting for us." He glanced meaningfully into the depths of the forest, a strange smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "I hope we won't encounter any more 'accidents' next..."

The thick smoke dissipated, and the air was filled with a strange herbal smell that made people's heads buzz.

Luo Yongshi scratched his head and said in a muffled voice, "This smell is even better than the pickled cabbage from my hometown!"

Chen Yong agreed with a silly smile: "That's right, the smoke makes me a little hungry, I want to eat barbecue!" He touched his stomach, but his eyes were always glued to Wei Wuzhe.

Dancer Wei was busy collecting herbs. When she noticed Chen Yong's gaze, her pretty face turned slightly red and she secretly glared at him.

Zhaoyang Ruyue did not let her guard down. She looked around and felt something was wrong.

In addition to the smell of herbs, there was also a subtle smell of decay in the air. There were also some traces of fresh soil on the ground, as if someone had deliberately turned it over.

"Wait!" She squatted down and looked at the ground carefully. "There's a trap here!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly gathered around.

Sure enough, there were some sharp thorns and traps hidden under the dense grass. If you stepped on them accidentally, you would definitely get your skin torn.

"What a sinister trick!" Wumeng Tianlong's face darkened. "Who set these traps?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue's gaze swept over Minister Mo and Advisor Xiao. Both of them had surprised expressions on their faces, as if they knew nothing about this matter.

But Zhaoyang Ruyue already knew that these two people were definitely involved.

She sneered: "It seems that someone doesn't want us to get out alive!"

"In this case, we must be even more cautious!" Wumeng Tianlong clenched the spear in his hand, "I want to see who dares to touch Tai Sui's head!"

Under the leadership of Zhaoyang Ruyue, everyone carefully avoided traps and continued to move forward.

They noticed some spider silk left on the ground, and followed it all the way to the giant spider's nest.

The nest is located under a huge ancient tree. The entrance is covered with a thick layer of spider webs and emits a disgusting smell.

"Oh my god, this spider's nest is too big!" Luo Yongshi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Could there be a spider spirit living in it?"

After entering the nest, everyone found it filled with skeletons of various animals, which was creepy.

Just as they were searching for clues, Zhaoyang Ruyue found a gleaming fragment among a pile of bones.

The fragments are irregular in shape, with some strange patterns engraved on the surface, which seem to have some connection with the ancient Dian culture.

"Could this be the fragment of the holy relic we are looking for?" Zhaoyang Ruyue was delighted and quickly put the fragment away.

However, just as everyone was excited, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest, as if coming from an ancient giant beast, shaking the ground slightly... Minister Mo's face changed, and he muttered to himself: "This sound... could it be..."
