Chapter 206 Miscalculation

The magic pool is not a pool, but a room. There are a large number of spider sacs of different sizes standing on the floor of the room. This is where cave-dwelling spiders store food. Most of the spider sacs have dried up, and only a few are still relatively full. The victims inside have not yet been turned into a meal.

In addition, there are many large spider sacs hanging in the air. Each spider sac is four or five meters in diameter, swaying slightly in the windless room.

On the ground in the center of the room, there is a huge energy-charging magic circle carved on it. The size of the room is almost as big as the magic circle.This magic circle is actually the so-called magic pool. The magic power extracted from the leyline nodes will be stored in the magic circle for use by the mage tower.

When the magic tower was still working, the energy-storing magic circle would flash with white light from time to time, similar to the light everyone saw before, but now, the magic circle is gray and cold, as if it is dead.

In the center of the array, there is a huge black shadow. The black shadow exudes pressure that touches the soul. As long as they approach it, the mercenaries will involuntarily feel fear in their hearts.

The black shadow suddenly twisted a few times, and eight red dots lit up above its head. Those were obviously the eyes of a cave-dwelling spider. There was no trace of biological emotion in the scarlet eyes, only coldness and cruelty.

"Sa, Fra, Teran." Under the control of the spell, the cold air roared across the entire magic pool. The spider threads floating in the air quickly froze, and then broke under their own weight, falling to the ground and shattering.

"Fire pattern." The thumb pinched the ring on his middle finger. Winged Man Yuri did not dare to fly, but stood firmly on the ground. The ring on his middle finger suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light like the rising sun.

"Fire impact." With the command, the flames formed an arc-shaped wall of fire, spreading outward with Yuri as the center. Wherever the flames passed, the broken ice on the ground melted rapidly, and the frozen spider silk lost its protection. Under the flames It turned into ashes, and the threatening spider threads were almost eliminated with the cooperation of the two.

However, Mia was not happy at all, because she discovered that she had miscalculated this time.

There is no problem with tactics, the problem lies with the enemy.Everyone has overlooked a problem. With such a large size, this mutated monster is probably a female spider, and female spiders can give birth.

After being frozen and burned, the spider sacs hanging in the air lost the support of the spider silk and fell to the ground one by one. The spider sacs, which were frozen hard by the cold air, collided with the ground, making a crisp cracking sound and falling into countless pieces. Collapsed in all directions.

At the same time, there were countless black shadows that collapsed, which were the children of the cave spider.These little devil-like beasts were more than ten centimeters in size. As soon as they landed on the ground, they swarmed around like a tide, quickly covering every place on the ground.

The huge spider always lay steadily in the middle of the magic pool, observing the intruders coldly. After turning around a few times, the young children quickly adapted to the new world in front of them, rubbing the rocky ground with their hard toes. It made a heart-wrenching sound and rolled towards the mercenaries like a carnival.

Mia knew that she had really miscalculated. As soon as the little spider appeared, she figured out the cause and effect.

This spider may be the mother body of the group of underground cave spiders, a quite powerful female spider.

A long time ago, when the city was just destroyed and the magic tower still had energy left, this mother, who was already pregnant with a large number of spiderlings, entered the magic tower in search of food. She was attracted by the magic and lived in the magic pool.

Perhaps not long after it came in, the surrounding terrain changed. It was probably a natural disaster such as an earthquake, which caused the magic tower to sink into the ground. Magically reinforced walls, so it has been trapped within the magic pool for over 4000 years.

By the time time destroyed the gate of the magic pool, the energy-type mutation had been completed, and its body had grown countless times larger. It could no longer get out of the gate and could only continue to sleep in the magic pool.

"Be careful, these monsters are all silver-level." The little spider crawled quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to Dak. The shield turned into a spear. The bloody spear drew an arc in front of him, and a bloody energy blade emerged from the tip of the spear. It was sent out and passed through the spider swarm, directly cutting many small spiders in half.However, Dak was not happy, because the attack effect was at least ten times weaker than he expected. The shells of these spiders were as hard as steel, with at least silver-level defense. "Their bodies are very hard, don't make a mistake." Forget about strength.”

Silver level?It won't be long before this is a big nest of gold-level monsters.The faces of the people behind Dak changed drastically. This was no joke. If there were thousands of them in front of them, if they were all Silver-level, they would be enough to overwhelm a ten-person mercenary team.

"Fight as hard as you can, retreating is meaningless." Mia completely understood that it was not only the mother spider that underwent energy-type mutations, but also the young spiders that had formed in her belly mutated along with her by coincidence.

Mother's love is great, and the same goes for spiders. Due to lack of food, even if they contribute their bodies, it may not be enough. Therefore, after the mother spider gives birth, she does not let the spider eggs hatch, but lets her children take the form of eggs. He fell into a deep sleep with himself.Until now, the magic tower has been reopened, and the breath of the living has awakened the female spider from her deep sleep.

Meredith was right, it had indeed not moved, but this did not mean that it had not woken up.Although it looks motionless on the surface, in fact, I'm afraid it has woken up as soon as the magic tower was opened. It is only using other unknown methods to hatch little spiders.In its view, the more than 100 creatures around it are enough for children to survive their infancy. After the children have passed the most difficult period, the vast world outside will be their hunting ground. With sufficient food, they can It is easy to form a new population, and the population formed by thousands of gold-level monsters is enough to sweep across Parvatiga.

As for the mother spider, I'm afraid she has never thought about coming out again. It is enough for her to let her children bloom.

"Don't even think about escaping, no one can escape." Mia said it very straightforwardly and seemed alarmist, but everyone knew that she was not wrong at all.

These little devils are so nimble and incredibly fast that it is completely impractical to escape from them.Judging from the current speed, it is estimated that the little spider will catch up with him as soon as he runs up two or three floors, and there is no possibility of survival.Even if he betrays his teammates and escapes, the more than 100 people in the camp will not be able to escape the spider's pursuit.

Rather than being eaten away bit by bit under such tremendous pressure, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there is still a chance to survive.

"Sa, it's so cool, Laka." Under Mia's control, a blazing wall of fire ignited around everyone, dividing the little spider and everyone into two areas. Mia's face reflected by the flames was cloudy, "While being isolated, The opportunity opens up, the last preparation before the war, everyone must complete it before the fire wall is breached."

In fact, even she herself didn't quite believe this. What she released was just the simplest fire wall technique. I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to restrain the little spider for long.

Sure enough, it didn't even take a minute for the little spider to find a way to break through the fire wall.

No one ordered them, but they seemed to have made an agreement. A large number of small spiders gathered together to form a spider ball.Individual spiders may not be surprising, but collectively they are enough to change everything.

At least the firewall can be changed.

The hard shell allows them to roll in the flames in a short period of time without collapsing upon contact. This gives them the opportunity. The spiders constantly exchange internal and external layers. Before they are burned to death, all the outer spiders have replaced their inner layers. There is a safe rest area.

Under the successive attacks of the spider balls, the flames ignited by the fire wall were quickly extinguished, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, but only a dozen spider corpses were left behind.

"Damn, the effect is too bad." Mia said with a cold face, lighting a few more walls of fire in vain, but the little spiders have become more and more skilled, and this time the wall of fire lasted less than two-thirds of the last time. Time, has been completely extinguished.

"Try it instead." The rings on Yuli's hands flashed at the same time, and the magical energy quickly gathered on his fingertips.This is the convenience of magic tools. Although each magic tool can only be engraved with a few types of magic, and its universality is not good, Sheng does not need a long pre-chanting when releasing it. As long as the magic power is sufficient, It can be cast very quickly.

"Bang", before Yuri could activate the magic device, several small spiders had already escaped from the spider ball, broke through Dak's defense from the flanks, and pounced directly on Yuli's face.The spider's fangs are filled with paralyzing venom, and once bitten, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Come on." Shuer poked Sav and gave a prompt in a voice that Mia could not hear.

Safu did not doubt Shuer's order at all. In an instant, she appeared next to Yuri, raised her sword and struck the spider in the air flatly.The attack effect of the big sword that brought up the afterimage was very good. Several spiders jumped over and were hit far away like a rubber ball. Some of them had their shells cracked, and disgusting green body fluids seeped out along the gaps.

"Thank you." Yuri ignored the little spider that rushed towards him from the beginning, and did not stop activating the magic device from beginning to end. At this time, he flapped his wings and smiled at Sapphire. The brilliance of his hands emerged, and thousands of Light green wind blades emerged around her, intertwining and rotating, cutting the little spider's body like a meat grinder, and the outer layers of the spider were constantly cut into pieces by the wind blades.

The magic is indeed effective, but unfortunately, in the face of the huge number of spiders, this effect is almost negligible.

Mia's tactics have been completely messed up. Almost all the mercenaries have joined the battle. They don't care about the original tasks at all and can only passively protect the safety of a few spellcasters.

"Don't use fire, fire is useless." Only Shuer, who had been watching everyone fighting leisurely, finally shouted suddenly, "Mia, according to the idea of ​​​​the spider web, you use ice, and then Yuri uses fire."
