Chapter 205 Red Dot
"Miridi, what's going on inside?" Mia's cold voice contained a hint of anxiety.

Going deep into the ground, the spiral stone stairs going downwards have completely cut off the light. The continuous darkness has made everyone stop in their tracks, almost maximizing their perception ability, trying to capture any slight movement around them.

Experienced mercenaries all know that at this time, they must not make any movement unless it is absolutely necessary. When they lose their eyesight, everyone's spirits are tense. Even a small and inconspicuous movement may cause harm to those around them. His companions misled him and induced his excessive behavior.

Once a battle breaks out, it is easy to form a chain reaction and turn into a melee between everyone. It is estimated that before the enemy is seen, one's own people will be killed in a river of blood.

Therefore, everyone stood quietly, waiting for captain Mia's instructions.

"There is no abnormal movement." Meridi's voice came from the darkness, "At least there is no abnormal movement on its body."

"Can you see it?" Xiure's slow speaking speed made several people's tense hearts relax involuntarily.

"Well, it's still different from seeing in the usual sense, but even if you can see it." Militty hesitated for a while on how to explain, then whispered, "Let's light up the light, so what? I can’t see it either, it’s too dangerous.”

"No." Mia shook her head subconsciously, but immediately thought that no one could see her movements, and couldn't help but sigh at herself, "It shouldn't have woken up yet. If you use the light spell, the change in magic power will probably destroy it." It woke up from its deep sleep. Our current position is not suitable for a tough battle, so it is better not to wake it up as much as possible."

"The same goes for my magic weapon." Yuri, who claimed to be an ordinary winged man, lowered his voice along with the two mages. "It will also cause changes in magic power."

"I have a question." Shuer seemed to be affected, and also lowered the volume to the lowest level, "Why do you have to speak in a low voice?"

"Huh?" Mia was stunned. Yes, why do you have to speak in a low voice? The spider does not rely on hearing to sense the surrounding environment, or it has no hearing at all. There is no point in lowering the voice.

"Actually, you are all wrong. Spiders have hearing. They rely on their legs to hear sounds. In my hometown, someone has done experiments and proved that spiders' legs do have hearing." Even in the dark, Shuer still maintained With a serious expression and a very serious voice, he said, "In the first experiment, I put the spider on the table and told it, crawl, and then it crawled away. In the second experiment, I cut off its legs, and then it crawled away. Tell it, crawl, and this time it won’t hear it, so it won’t move.”

"Heh, heh, heh, I feel so cold." Dak laughed dryly at the front, and at the same time there was a rustling sound, as if he was rubbing his arms in the cold.Fortunately, the stupid joke successfully relaxed everyone's spirits and they were not frightened by these noises. "Man, you have time to tell such boring jokes, why don't you do something serious?"

"What should I do seriously, like light a torch?"

Damn, I actually forgot the original way.Mia wanted to knock herself on the head as punishment. During her years of adventure, she was accustomed to using various methods of lighting, including magic, magic, crystal energy lamps, and magic devices. Only torches were difficult to place on the spot. The raw materials, poor lighting effects, and poor adaptability to the environment were rarely used, so much so that she didn't even think of it.

Phew, the flames rose up and illuminated the inside of the magic tower again. The flames danced, causing the shadows left by people on the wall to twist and change, filling them with a strange atmosphere.

"Speed ​​up." Mia passed the torch to Dak at the front, "Get to the destination as soon as possible, and don't leave any chance for your opponent to wake up."

"Understood." Dak waved the torch, with the blood shield in front of him, and jumped several times in a row, rushing directly to the end of the stairs, and stepped on the lowest circular corridor with his feet.

"Follow up, don't fall behind." Mia waved her hand and gave continuous instructions, "Melity, where is the entrance? Directly opposite? Okay, Dark, go around from the left, Moria, keep an eye on the right. , to prevent enemies from attacking from the right side. Sav, how far can your hearing cover? Can you hear clearly at this level? Well, report it immediately if there is any abnormal noise. Rudock, have you discovered anything with your sense of smell? "

"Hahahaha, you can't hear it if you cut off the legs, haha, haha." As soon as Mia asked, the usually irritable orc suddenly burst into laughter, and even the beard on his face was shaking violently with laughter, "Haha. Haha, lean on your legs to listen to the sound, haha."

Almost everyone among the nine mercenaries looked at him with eyes full of respect. Even Dak, who was leading the way quickly, couldn't help but turn around and glance at him. Everyone was filled with excitement at his reaction. It’s really not easy to live on despite such a slow reaction despite admiration.

"Shut up." Mia shouted coldly, "Answer the question immediately."

"Ah? Oh oh oh, hahaha, it's so funny, no, it's nothing, what's the problem? Oh, by the way, it's a bit strange." The tiger man spent a lot of effort to hold back his laughter and said with a heavy breath, " The smell is a bit stronger.”

"Because the distance is close?"

"No, it's not that the fishy smell I smell has gotten stronger, but that the fishy smell in the environment has really gotten worse." The tiger man followed Dak closely and said without looking back, "I don't know the reason either." The exhaust volume of the stomata has increased." Mility showed the quality of a biological expert, "It's like our breathing has become faster."

"Wake up?"

"It hasn't moved yet, but it should be soon, or it has actually woken up and is just setting up a trap... Tsk, that's disgusting."

The object of Militty's disgust was naturally not Mia, but the environment inside the magic pool. The mercenaries had rushed outside the magic pool as quickly as possible, but they found that they could not see everything inside the magic pool.

According to the design habits of the magic tower, the bottom floor of the tower, except for the peripheral corridor, has only one huge room on the entire floor, which is the magic pool.The walls around the magic pool are reinforced layer by layer, stronger than the magic tower itself, and there is only a small door for mages to enter and exit for daily maintenance.

Due to the passing of time, the door has been damaged now, and it has been on the ground for a long time. Looking in through the door frame, everyone can only see a piece of white flowers.

The entrance is covered with spider webs, layer upon layer, densely packed, sticky spider silk entangled with each other, and there are many shriveled corpses of ground animals hanging on it, which looks almost disgusting.

Militty had been observing the magic pool through the skeletons of the dead before, and what she saw was different from what she saw with the naked eye, so she had no intuitive understanding of these spider webs. Then she saw with her own eyes large, sticky white flowers. The cobwebs are stacked together, making my scalp numb.

Of course, it is impossible to see the state of the silk so clearly in a normal spider web, but there is a giant spider with a body several meters wide inside, and each spider silk is as thick as a child's wrist. , As for the corpses of those animals, they were also very large, and many of them were even about the size of adults. Seeing such corpses, it was like being hung on a spider web.

"Take a 30-second rest and prepare to start the battle." Mia took a deep breath, "Dak, ignite the spider web directly after a while. All spider webs are afraid of fire. This is determined by the constituent elements."

"clear."

"Now the rest begins, everyone, listen up. The environment is abnormal, and now we need to readjust our tactics. After using fire to break the entrance, Dark and Chalais, you two will protect me and go in. I will use low temperature to freeze the surrounding cobwebs, especially Li, an ordinary winged man like you should have a magic guide with a range of effects. Well, after the spider webs freeze, you are responsible for breaking all the spider silks into pieces and then burning them."

"Hey, I understand." It is very difficult to make a range of magic devices, and there are not many of them in existence. Of course, they are not something ordinary winged people can possess, but 'ordinary' winged people like Yuri are definitely exceptions.Yuri floated in the air without touching the ground. He took off his gloves with a smile, took out two rings, one on the left and one on the right, and put them on his fingers. "I like to set fire."

"Be careful in melee combat. Don't get close to areas we haven't cleaned. The stickiness of these spider silks is very strong at first glance. If they get stuck, nothing may happen. Moria, you can shoot from a distance. Just in case. Someone got stuck on the spider silk..."

"Should I just give him a good time?" The elf-shaped Lin Jing patrolled Xiu Er's mischievous eyes, as if he was considering where to shoot more happily, and finally his eyes stayed under his belly. Such a sinister intention made Xiuer Seul gritted his teeth and threatened her.

"I think it is a normal idea to consider cutting the spider threads first and putting the person down." Mia said with a straight face, fearing that she would lose her mind due to anger, "Besides, there is no need to give anyone a happy ending before everyone is dead. .”

"Eh? What a pity." Moria showed a very regretful expression, and reluctantly glanced at the selected target for the last time, "Then I have to change my throwing gun."

"Remember to wait for me to find a way out and engage in melee combat before approaching the enemy." After the last instruction, Mia gave Dak a thumbs up, "Let's get started. I wish everyone good luck."

"Whoosh", the torch did not touch the spider web, but the flames had already swallowed up several spider silks. The spider silks were quite flammable. The flames extended inward along the spider silks and soon burned through a large hole in the entrance of the spider webs. .

"Come in." Mia ordered. Dak and the scimitar warrior Chalais protected her one after another and rushed in along the burned hole.

Entering the magic pool, Mia found that the inside was completely different from what she imagined.

There was indeed a lot of spider silk floating in the room, but it was much less than expected, and it was not difficult to move around. Especially the ground, which was much cleaner than expected. Although it was sticky when stepped on, at least it was still free. Move, so as not to be stuck to the ground unable to move.

As the intelligent creatures stepped in, as if to welcome visitors, eight scarlet light spots suddenly lit up in the shadows in the center of the magic pool.
