Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 476 Prey and “Hunter”

"Can this fruit still be used?"

After picking the fist-sized translucent fruit from the low-hanging core branch, Angel looked at Alger and asked.

"It should be okay. It just consumed some nutrients in the battle just now, and the extraordinary power it contains has not been lost."

In fact, Alger wasn't quite sure whether the black flames had affected the fruits of the psychedelic wind chime tree, but after seeing Angel's fighting power just now, he didn't dare to tell the truth.

Putting on the "Rose Necklace" handed over by the other party, Alger felt that his lungs, which were about to cough up blood, were quickly repaired under the effect of "flesh and blood control". What followed was a burst of desire for flesh and blood, and he even felt that he was hanging on The piglets on the dry branches that had been sucked dry became a little more delicious.

When his symptoms eased slightly, he quickly took off the necklace and returned it to Angel. His eyes accidentally caught sight of the bone bracelet on the other's left wrist.

It was a magical item made with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Dawn Knight". The bone sword just now was transformed from it. The flame jump that rushed to the wind chime tree before was the extraordinary ability of the "Faceless Man", and she didn't sell it. The "Ring of Madness", the "Magic Pocket Watch" sold to me... How did she endure the negative effects of so many magical items... Alger felt a little numb.

Unaware of the thoughts of Mr. "The Hanged Man" beside him, Angel happily packed the fruits of the psychedelic wind chime tree in a cloth bag. The cloth bag, which could not isolate the spirituality, would gradually merge with the extraordinary material, producing changes that no one could predict, but in a short time... It's fairly safe during the time.

"keep going."

Klein controlled the flames to burn part of the road to open up a path, but soon found that instead of wasting his spiritual energy, it was better to go around. The three of them walked crookedly through the woods, avoiding more and more spider threads, and at the same time, they were vigilant. Looking around, looking for the creatures that make these spider silks.

Fortunately, the spiders seemed to have given up on this hunting ground. Until the three of them stood by the last few spider webs and looked at the ruins not far away, no creatures attacked them.

Continuing forward under the moonlight, wisps of gray-white spider silk began to appear in the increasingly sparse black forest. They spanned between different thick tree trunks, dividing the forest into areas that were difficult to connect.

"Of course, the forest and the open space filled with living corpses have not changed, and the ruins are still the same. According to my experience, the closer you get to the ruins, the more dangerous it is. However, there are no traces of extraordinary biological activities inside the ruins."

Seeing that she had finished her work, Klein looked towards the direction the three of them were heading and whispered.

Looking at the ruins covered with weeds and vines, "The Hanged Man" sounded a little excited. Half a night of exploration and several thrilling battles finally paid off.

It might be possible to cut off a few branches and tie them to the body, but it would seriously affect mobility. The three people present were all experienced Beyonders, and no one made such a stupid suggestion.

This extraordinary tree probably corresponds to Sequence 6 of a certain path. In addition to the fruits enriched with extraordinary power, other branches and bark should also have a certain spirituality and can be used as auxiliary materials or sacrificial supplies, but none of the three of them showed any nostalgia. .

"It's right there."

Hearing these words, even the taciturn and expressionless Klein, who had always played the role of a crazy adventurer, had a ripple on his face.

Klein said calmly.

"We're almost there. After leaving the woods, we'll be at the edge of the ruins." Seeing that the view was still good, the Hanged Man simply extinguished his lantern and relied on the moonlight to provide illumination, lest he become a bright target in the dark night. "Last time we arrived, Zillinges entered the church among the ruins alone and claimed to have found precious items inside."

There may well be a "blasphemy card" hidden there.

Squinting at the most intact and magnificent building among the walls and stone pillars, Angel asked:

"What was the sequence when Qilingos came here last time?"

Even the Balam Wolf Spider, which is larger than a fist, cannot produce so much silk. This must be the work of extraordinary creatures. Angel was even a little curious as to whether this could be the spider web made by the "Giant Widow Spider" needed for the "Happiness" Witch's formula.

With the cooperation of the "sickness" tactic and the "Rose Necklace", the three of them still had most of their spirituality at this time, and had not been injured enough to affect the battle. No one was willing to give up exploration.

Returning along the road they had just heard the sound from, the three of them continued walking towards the ruins. Angel soon discovered that the surrounding black trees had become sparse, and the crimson moonlight began to shine on the earth. There was no need for a lantern anymore.

"Maybe that's the real danger."

Alger nodded, took the lantern, and continued to lead the way. Angel and Klein followed one after another, and quickly left the psychedelic wind chime tree that was lifeless.

"Same as I am now, a Sequence 7 Navigator, and I had just been promoted to Sequence 8 at that time," Alger replied, frowning, then relaxed, "Are you doubting that we didn't have the ability to get close to here at that time? But in five years There were no psychedelic wind chime trees in this forest before, nor were there these spider webs, and there was only one blue shadow falcon."

This is most likely because a powerful being regards the ruins as its own territory... Angel also thought of this, and when she was about to ask, a dangerous reminder suddenly appeared on the heads of several people!

Looking up subconsciously, a black shadow jumped down from the tree crown. Only then did Angel realize that after going around in the spider web, several people had arrived at an open space surrounded by thick black trees. The tree crown above them became a sneak attack. It is a natural disguise, so that when a disaster approaches, the spirit will give a hint of reminder.

The location of the cobwebs and the behavior of letting down vigilance near the exit were all expected by the sneak attacker! A black shadow came over the head. Under the moonlight, four pairs of sharp jointed limbs were spread out like claws. The strong abdomen was as black as ink. On the small head, two compound eyes filled with dense single eyes shone with cold light.

Angel kicked off his legs and left the center of the open space, avoiding the landing point of the giant spider. Klein, who was slightly lower in rank but more spiritual than her, had already taken action and rushed to the other side. After a while, he realized Alger's face turned pale, and he pressed the crown of the "Magic Pocket Watch" he bought for 2100 pounds without hesitation, and then jumped towards Angel, who summoned black flames to meet him, and disappeared in a burst of bright yellow flames. .

"boom--"

The giant black spider's heavy body landed on the ground, and its four pairs of long jointed legs inserted into the soil to stabilize its body. Its compound eyes glanced in the direction of Angel and Alger, who had jumped up, then turned away and jumped in the direction of Klein like a cannonball. Generally smashed.

With a "poof", Klein, who had just stood up while rolling, was pierced by a pair of long sickle-like legs. The horrific corpse became thin and burned, turning into an ugly-cut paper man.

Behind it, the real Klein emerged from the flames. He raised his hands forward and snapped his fingers. At the same time, he activated the purification ability of the "Sun Brooch". Golden air bullets flew out from his fingertips, killing the giant spider. The hard shell crackled.

Having reached Sequence 6, air bullets that are more powerful than large-caliber bullets cannot break the shell of this giant spider?

Suddenly suffering a counterattack, the giant spider turned its head suddenly, its cold and evil compound eyes flashed red, and its huge body turned into a ball of flames in front of the three people, condensed into a long spear, and streaked in the night sky. Passing a bright trajectory, it flew in the direction of Angel and Alger.

What is the sound of attacking from the east to the west...

Angel was already prepared. He stepped forward with his left foot. The ice spread quickly, forming a layer of ice in front of him. The spear slammed into the top, creating strong steam. A giant spider appeared in it, jumped over the ice layer, and waved. Lifting his forelimbs, his target was still Angel below.

I thought you were a thoughtful predator, but why do you always choose the strongest person in your team as your opponent...

Angel smiled secretly, pointed the "Good Luck" revolver at the sky, and activated the "spiritual storm" attached to this weapon.

The rapidly falling giant spider's limbs stiffened for an instant, its thoughts stopped, and it continued to fall downwards in a free fall state. But just one second later, a trace of anger emerged from its compound eyes, and it regained consciousness and looked down.

The deep "good luck" of the muzzle was pointing at its belly protected by its hard shell, and the hammer had already been broken open.

"boom--"

Luck that had never appeared in the battle with the Blue Shadow Falcon finally came here. The enhanced large-caliber pistol bullets came out of the chamber like cannonballs, passing through the abdomen of the giant spider without any hindrance. When they flew out of its back, they had already caused damage. The huge wound the size of a washbasin took out more than half of the flesh, blood and internal organs, and sprinkled them into the sky, falling like rain.

Bang, the remaining body hit the ground with impact, and the pair of compound eyes lost their luster.

"The flame spear can also create traps. This is probably an extraordinary creature of the 'Hunter' path."

"Hunters" can be seen everywhere on the sea, so the experienced Alger quickly guessed the possible sequence of this giant spider, but there was no joy of victory on his face, but a trace of unwillingness.

He has been forced to use the "magic pocket watch". Although he has escaped the ambush of the giant spider, in ten minutes he will suffer from negative effects for a full twelve hours. Even a trace of fire will make him terrified and lose all fighting ability.

The fighting methods of Angel and Klein are closely related to flames.

"Clean up and leave first."

After thinking for a moment, Angel took the initiative to suggest something.

She was suffering from the negative effects of the "Magic Pocket Watch" and knew that in ten minutes the Hanged Man would turn from a capable combatant into a burden that required the attention of others.

Moreover, such a large-scale spider web may not necessarily be created by this spider. If it continues to stay, there may be greater danger.

After glancing at Klein and seeing that he didn't object, Alger breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

He was a little worried that he would be "disliked" to some extent because of this incident, but it seemed that he was overthinking it...

Soon, the extraordinary characteristics of the dead giant spider condensed into a red color that could be clearly seen under spiritual vision, and attached to the pair of compound eyes that refused to die. Without enough time to dismantle them, Alger simply cut off the giant spider's head with a knife. Stuff it into the cloth bag that previously contained the bait piglet.

Now that they decided to return to the "Blue Avenger", the three of them no longer hesitated and immediately returned along the same path. Angel and Klein summoned bright yellow or dark flames in front of them to burn away the cobwebs blocking the way. Returning to the dense black forest much faster.

Behind them, black shadows jumped on the towering tree canopy. They were countless black giant spiders. Pairs of cold compound eyes stared at the three people who were gradually moving away, but they cautiously stayed at the edge of the spider web trap. , did not continue the pursuit.
