Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Chapter 21 Auspicious Insects Descend from Heaven

The creature inside the coffin was clearly short-tempered. After pushing for a while, it found the speed too slow, quieted down for a moment, then suddenly kicked the stone lid away!

Ling Yue flew backwards several meters, opened his eyes wide to look, and saw a huge spider jump out of the coffin!

The spider was about two meters tall, and it looked even more terrifying when it stretched out its legs.

Its feet resembled sharp halberds, its teeth like hooks and pincers, and its eight large eyes stared at Ling Yue, gleaming with greed.

What made Ling Yue's scalp tingle even more was that there was a pattern on its back and abdomen that looked exactly like a human face!

On its back is a man's crying face, and on its abdomen is a woman's sneer.

As the abdomen and back throbbed, the two faces shifted, making it seem as if they were staring at you, sending a chill down your spine.

Even with his vast experience and knowledge, Ling Yue couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.

This thing is really weird and disgusting!

Before Ling Yue could look again, the spider charged over, brandishing its eight sharp legs.

Ling Yue was disgusted by it and only wanted to finish the fight quickly. She tightened her grip on the long bamboo stick in her hand, took a step and flew up, dodging the sharp foot that was swinging over, and in the blink of an eye, she was on the spider's back.

As he got closer, the crying man's face became increasingly disgusting, making him dizzy with just one glance. Ling Yue noticed something unusual about the patterns on the man's face and dared not look any longer. He gritted his teeth and thrust the stick straight down!

The staff, imbued with internal force, was no less sharp than a sword. With a soft hiss, dark green liquid splattered everywhere.

Ling Yue was caught off guard and reacted a beat too late. Although he managed to dodge in time, a little bit of juice still got on his arm.

The liquid was so corrosive that just a few drops burned several holes in her coat and burned the skin on her arms.

Large amounts of the remaining liquid fell to the ground, and a hissing sound of corrosion echoed from the solid stone floor.

The rising odor is pungent and unpleasant, making people dizzy.

poisonous!

Ling Yue held his breath, pulled out the long stick, gripped the other end with both hands, leaped high into the air, and used the Thousand-Pound Drop technique, ready to smash the spider's head with all his might.

Such force, imbued with formidable internal energy, can crush even the most impenetrable walls, leaving no room for resistance!

At the critical moment, several gusts of cold wind suddenly shot up from above.

Ling Yue felt a sense of impending doom as he flew through the air, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

When a person is in mid-air, they have nowhere to put their weight on and cannot use their light-footed skills to dodge as usual.

However, Ling Yue did not dare to take the blow head-on. He could only rely on the powerful control of his muscles to forcefully bend his body and tuck his legs in mid-air, using the force of his feet pushing off the long stick to fly horizontally out.

She shot out a snow thread with her backhand, entangled the long stick that had been sent flying in the opposite direction by the force of her kick.

It's a long story, but it happens in the blink of an eye!

While Ling Yue was still in the air, he turned his head and saw five or six clusters of white spider silk descending from the sky. At the same time, a spider larger than the human-faced spider below emerged from a large white cocoon on the roof!

Because the hall had a high ceiling and the palace lanterns and candlelight flickered, the lighting was limited. In addition, there were many things in the hall, so Ling Yue forgot to pay attention to the roof for a moment.

Looking again, Ling Yue discovered that the roof was covered with white spider cocoons, some suspended in the air and others stuck to the stone walls of the roof.

These spider cocoons varied in size, the largest being the one that just jumped out, which was about three meters tall, while the smallest was about the size of a washbasin.

This isn't some city lord's tomb, it's a spider's nest!

Ling Yue secretly groaned, hoping that not all of the spiders would wake up.

However, what are you afraid of?

Just as Ling Yue landed, pulled Mo Zhu back, and got into a fight with the large, pure black spider that had jumped down aggressively, seemingly seeking revenge for his wife, while the human-faced spider with a hole in its back occasionally stabbed her in the back, rustling sounds gradually began to emanate from the surroundings.

This noise is getting louder and louder.

We can't let their entire family, spanning eighteen generations, gang up on us!

After dodging another swarm of spider silk shot by the giant black spider, Ling Yue flipped over and jumped to the side of the original coffin. With a flick of his long staff and a kick, he sent the heavy stone coffin flying.

Seizing the opportunity, as the human-faced spider jumped to a certain spot, Ling Yue pushed with both palms, and the stone coffin flew horizontally, directly pressing half of the human-faced spider's body underneath.

Just as Ling Yue had predicted.

Previously, it was just a stone coffin lid, which the human-faced spider had to kick open with some effort.

Now, a stone coffin, more than ten times heavier than the coffin lid, is pressing down on it. It struggles and roars, and a large amount of green liquid is flowing out from under the coffin.

Its belly was smashed open, and it couldn't get out for a while!

Desperate to save his wife, the giant black spider disregarded Ling Yue and quickly jumped over to push the stone coffin with its claws.

At this moment, the spiders closer to the ground pounced on Ling Yue like a black tide.

As the saying goes, even the strongest fists can't beat four hands. No matter how high Ling Yue's martial arts skills were, he couldn't handle the overwhelming swarm of spiders. Before long, he had spider bites and stab marks all over his body and face.

Fortunately, these small spiders are not very venomous and will not have much impact on Ling Yue in the short term.

While the larger and more powerful offspring were still sliding down the roof covered in large swaths of spider silk, Ling Yue ignored the spiders clinging to him like cats and dogs, took off his coat, and flew to the palace lantern.

Soak the lamp oil inside the lantern into the coat, ignite the coat, and at the same time kick the lamp oil out of the lantern by pushing against the wall with both feet.

Most of the lamp oil was poured onto the large black spider and the human-faced spider that was still being held down.

The rest was haphazardly splashed onto the spiders crawling on the ground.

Just as the giant black spider realized something was wrong and was about to spit out its silk to extinguish the fire in Ling Yue's hand, Ling Yue ducked to the side and slid to the side, throwing his coat over as well.

boom--!

The lamp oil was suddenly ignited.

Spiders are inherently afraid of fire, and glossy little spiders are excellent accelerants.

The giant black spider, no longer concerned with saving the human-faced spider, rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

Unfortunately, lamp oil is not so easy to extinguish.

Soon, a strange, indescribable odor, whether fragrant or foul, filled the air of the hall.

Worried that it might be poisonous, Ling Yue tore a piece of cloth from under his T-shirt and barely covered his mouth and nose.

Looking up at the spiders on the roof, they couldn't withstand the heat of the flames. Some frantically climbed upwards, while others broke their webs and fell directly into the sea of ​​fire, quickly crackling and popping as they burned.

The spider clan was almost completely destroyed by fire, and Ling Yue himself was also in a bad state.

The air in the palace was limited, and if she couldn't find a way out in the shortest time, she would have to stay here and burn to ashes with these spiders.

The thought of dying in this way was something Ling Yue absolutely refused to accept.

Even if she ended up plastered to the roof wall and roasted into a dried-up human form, she would never want to become "intertwined" with a bunch of spiders!

In times of crisis, Ling Yue's mind becomes even clearer.

She suddenly remembered what Li Cu had said about the lord of Gutongjing City: "Spiders hang from beams, and auspicious insects fall from the sky."

Spiders hang from beams; spiders are everywhere here, and any place can be considered a beam they hang from.

What should we interpret when a pesky insect falls from the sky?

Through the burning flames, Ling Yue suddenly saw the stone coffin overturned on the dying human-faced spider. There were many totems on the coffin, the most eye-catching of which was the one depicting the conjoined twins kneeling before the tree.

A sudden realization dawned on Ling Yue, and he understood what was wrapped around the tree.

Isn't that just the white, silky spider silk that the big black spider spits out?!

So the dominant force here is not the human-faced spider that is protected by the giant black spider everywhere, but the giant black spider itself!

Is it a love insect? It fell from the sky...

Ling Yue's gaze fell on the enormous white cocoon left by the black spider on the roof...
