through the dark road

Chapter 316 Spider Silk
"Look, even a pair of underpants and a piece of toilet paper have their uses. Especially in such an environment where supplies are scarce, the more we have to find ways to discover the potential value of various things."

Mo Bei comfortably blew a small cool breeze, and pointed to the giant jungle mosquito that was forced to operate.

"Ok!"

Miloer nodded seriously. Although Mo Bei's metaphor made her a little speechless, she still felt it made sense.

The humming of the flapping wings prevented her from using her ears to detect the changes around her, but instead she used this interference to train her perception.

"Oh? Why is the wind down again?" Mo Bei said, picking out a piece of gravel from a crack in the stone and throwing it over.

However, this time, the big mosquito didn't continue to fan the wind after being hit like before. Instead, it drooped its two wings, and didn't even move its twitching mouthparts.

"Oh my god... I'm exhausted after only half the night... I'm not strong enough."

Mo Bei went up to check and found that the giant jungle mosquito was actually dead, so he untied the corpse from the hilt in depression, and threw it away, ending its tragic life.

But anyway, they had already rested comfortably, and the three of them set off again under the night, descending the mountain and entering the dense forest.

At this time, every corner of the dense forest is glowing with a strange faint phosphorescent light, which is emitted by the spores scattered by some fungi and a large number of animal carcasses in the forest.Although the visibility is far worse than during the day, it can also help a lot.

Once these almost ubiquitous phosphorescence flickers abnormally, it is likely that there are monsters infested, so traveling at night is not much more dangerous than during daytime.

Not long after dawn, the eyes of the three people who were walking through the forest along the river suddenly became clear. The river beside them rushed down the cliff again without hesitation amidst the sound of rumbling water.Looking at the sea of ​​fog in front of them, the three of them were really shocked.

This cliff represented by a line on the simple map has such a big drop in terrain!
The entire land in front of it seemed to be completely disconnected, and the sinking did not know how deep it was, and the range of the line of sight was all white and thick in the fog, and the scene below could not be seen clearly.And the height that can be judged is two or three hundred feet.

Mo Bei opened his arms, took a deep breath, and exhaled again, feeling really refreshed.

Immediately, he took the lead in jumping off the edge of the cliff, using the thick vines and overgrown trees on the cliff to continuously buffer the inertia of the fall, and quickly descended to the bottom of the cliff.

After a few flashes and jumps, he approached the thick fog below, and through the whistling wind in his ears, he keenly sensed the trembling sound of tree branches, and then a group of gray-green shadows broke through the fog, as if there was a finger The big, too-sharp hand came towards his face!
Although he climbed, jumped and descended like an ape all the way, he still held the sword of spiritual excellence in his right hand, and when he stepped on his foot, he faced the "big hand" and slashed down in the air. The two figures disappeared into the mist together among.

In just a split second, the blade pressed the "big hand" and smashed through the branch, slamming on the ground. Yellow-green mucus splashed on the tree trunk beside it. After a short and sharp hiss, the sneak attacking monster died. vitality.

Although he already had some understanding before entering this area, the foggy forest in front of him still made him feel a little surprised.

No wonder the fog above here is not too thick, but it looks like a sea of ​​clouds, not even a trace of the greenery of the forest can be seen.

The ground, tree trunks, branches, and even the branches and leaves at the top of the tree are all covered under the white silk net, and the entire forest is almost tightly wrapped.

And the monster that had just been killed on the ground was a spider.

A giant spider the size of a calf in its body alone!

After the eight long legs with thick arms were spread out, the area covered was more than one foot. This spider was a circle bigger than the Aurak they met in the tomb before.

And far more than one!
The moment he landed, several of these giant spiders surrounded him from the top of the tree or the forest.

As soon as Mo Bei took the surrounding scene into his eyes, he drew out the power of the divine language with his left hand, slashed with both swords, and rushed out with the spider's stump wrapped around him.

The Valkyrie followed closely behind, with her spear hanging upside down from the sky, nailing a giant spider to the ground, and smashing the head full of small eyes,
The giant spider's eight long legs that looked like steel whips violently planed twice on the ground, and then went limp.

With the movement and movement, more giant spiders in the distance also surrounded here, but Milor and Perona have also joined the battle. These mutant creatures simply cannot withstand the strangling of several people. It fell silent again.

"The spider's territory has already spread here. It seems that if they can't be suppressed, it won't be long before this cliff will be full of caves."

Mo Bei looked around, and raised his hand to tear off a ball of spider web from the tree trunk. He found that it was not very sticky, but because the spider silk fibers were extremely thin, it had a strong ability to wrap and cover.

After these spiders grow into such a size, they basically don't rely on these spider silks to prey, and they no longer secrete sticky substances over time.In fact, the role of these spider webs is only to store food and protect young eggs.

"Why do they cover the entire forest? It doesn't seem to be of any use to them..." Milor looked at the canopy that was completely covered, puzzled.

"Maybe they think the pure white world is more romantic."

Mo Bei talked nonsense, pulled the spider web in his hand, and found that the strength was not low, so he tore it into two strands, twisted it into a rope thinner than a pencil by twisting a straw rope, and pulled it again. .

"Good stuff!"

Such a thin rope made of spider silk can easily withstand the pulling force of hundreds of catties!

He looked up at the cobwebs covering the entire forest, as if he saw a treasure.

He knew that spider silk was a good thing before, so he made such a move just to prove it.I didn't expect that such a strong rope could be made easily without any complicated polymerization process.

And he never imagined that he would see such a huge amount of spider silk.

With such a good material, they actually want to grow hemp rope. . .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

But then he also figured it out. When he saw the information that the strength of spider silk is 6 times that of steel wire of the same diameter, he was also surprised and even doubted its authenticity.

It is understandable that no one thought of the value of these spider webs, which are very fragile and extremely afraid of fire for job changers.

With these spider silks, you can make the strongest cables, weave the most durable fishing nets, and even sails that cannot be torn apart by any storm without much processing.

The giant airship he designed with Perona before, the choice of material for the airbags on it was a headache for the builders. Now it seems that these spider silks are excellent materials.Is there anything lighter and stronger than this?
Then he picked up a severed spider leg, which was heavy. Looking from the cut, under the one-centimeter-thick burr shell, it was full of white flesh.

Mo Bei had experience in grilling spider legs, so he couldn't help but swallowed.

It seems that lunch is settled, this is much more enjoyable than king crab legs!
He put away some spider legs and continued to lead the team to explore deep into the woods.

They killed hundreds of giant spiders just now. If nothing else happened, there should be a small nest nearby.

Sure enough, before they took a few steps, they found many juvenile spiders fleeing in a panic in the forest. They seemed to understand that these humans who could easily kill adult giant spiders were definitely not something they could compete with.

Some of these young spiders have grown to the size of a millstone, while others are only as big as a palm, and the size difference is quite large.

Mo Bei felt that with this size, he was considered a giant among the spiders in his previous world, but in this rainforest, they were all babies.

Soon they followed the fleeing trajectory of the young spiders and found a burrow. The hole was short and needed to be stooped to enter, but it was more than two meters wide, which was just right for those giant spiders to enter and exit.

Sensing the approach of a strange aura, the spider nest guards in the cave swarmed out immediately. They were about the same size as the giant spiders before, but they moved extremely quickly. Eight eyes of different sizes glowed ferocious red, almost like heads. They rushed towards Mo Bei and the others tail after tail.

And this lair obviously has many other entrances, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of such lair guards flashed out from different directions.
