Chapter 0419 Spider Forest
Under the dim starlight, the jungle around the Sickwood Forest seemed unusually quiet.
Not only were there no traces of those large carnivorous jungle creatures, but even the singing of birds and insects had disappeared. The entire Black Forest was like a tomb, dead and silent, making people feel scared.
The originally raised earthen hills of the Sickwood Forest had disappeared, and the collapsed pit swallowed hundreds of tons of soil, sand, and dead trees, turning this place into a pile of rocks.
However, at this time, in a corner of this pile of rocks, strange rustling sounds continued to be heard. At first, the sound was as weak as a mole secretly digging a hole, but gradually, the sound became louder and louder.
Bang...
With a violent loud noise, a strange monster with a short neck and tail, which looked like a flying dragon and a griffin, broke through the mud and drilled out from the ground. It was sturdy and powerful, with sharp teeth and claws, but its hard gray skin was full of terrible scars.
It came out of the ground, shook its body violently to shake off the dirt on its body, and with a long neigh, it kicked its thick hind legs vigorously, and its majestic body flew into the sky again.
After quickly circling twice on the pile of rocks, the two-legged flying dragon king raised his neck and let out a long neigh of grief and anger, turned around and ran straight to the high cliff where he lived in the east.
Not long after it disappeared, a dark figure appeared beside the exploded cave.
Under the reflection of the night, the soft and flexible body of the dark tentacle monster was almost impossible to see, and only a huge black shadow could be seen dimly.
After hesitating for a while, the dark tentacle monster slowly floated up, and under the cover of the night, it quickly fled to the distance.
It was originally a guy who liked to be alone, and the destruction of the beast tide had undoubtedly the least impact on it. However, considering the possible revenge of the human wizards, it felt that this forest was no longer a safe place.
It's time to consider relocation!
While making plans, the dark tentacle monster shuttled through the endless darkness, its body getting farther and farther away.
Just as they were moving away one after another, a big hole exploded somewhere in the pile of rocks, and the demon-hunting spider Tula came out of it wrapped in a huge web cocoon, and disappeared into the forest without looking back.
This time, it took a full hour before new changes appeared in the pile of rocks.
With a crisp sound, the mud layer somewhere suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge winding hole. Then, figures of various shapes came out from it, lined up near the hole, as if waiting for a big man.
The last one to come out of the hole was of course Grimm.
After the bloody battle just now, although Grimm was a little tired, his strong desire for harvest still supported him to continue fighting.
Grimm's 2-meter height was by no means the tallest among the group of black shadows, but the moment he appeared, all the black shadows leaned over slightly and bowed to him.
Grimm's eyes slowly swept over this group of "people". The team of less than 20 people included three identities: disciples, subordinates and slaves.
"Meryl, you take Kodar and the bird demon, as well as the leader of the manticore and two manticores to the Twin Towers Mountain, the lair of the violent giant baboon. If everything goes well, you can explore the home of the bird demon on the way back..."
"Understood! Don't worry, teacher!"
"Gargamel, you take Sabrina and the snake demon, as well as the three manticores to the red stone, the lair of Medusa, first, and take away everything that can be taken away from the snake demon's lair on the way back..."
"Leave it to me, master!" Gargamel once again gave his signature sneer.
"Okay, the rest of you come with me to Tula's spider cave, let me see if that guy has hidden back in his lair!"
"Yes!" The three-headed demon dog responded weakly.
It was just controlled by others, and even the wounds in its body had not healed in time, and it had to go on an expedition to the lair of the monster lord Tula. This made it unhappy no matter what. However, the situation is stronger than people. Now its life and death is controlled by the human wizard, and it has no other choice!
A simple division, three human wizards are matched with three groups of quasi-wizards, monsters and scorpion lions. Such a team will not be easily overturned by the enemy even if it does not gain any big advantage when encountering those fleeing enemies. After all, the monster leaders know each other well. After this battle, it is clear what assets are left in the hands of the other party.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Grimm decisively dispatched the main force of the witch tower to search for some useful resources as much as possible.
Of course, the place where the witch tower is located cannot be too empty. Therefore, Grimm left the forest monster behind, and with the assistance of a group of wizard apprentices such as Am, if the witch tower is guarded tightly, it will be difficult for the remaining monsters to break in.
Therefore, after waving goodbye to everyone, Grimm rode on an adult scorpion lion and took the three-headed demon dog Angujia to go straight to the spider nest of the monster lord Tula.
…………
The spider nest of the Demon Hunter Tula is actually a huge cave.
It is located in a valley about 200 miles north of the Diseased Forest.
Along the way, Grimm sat on the back of the manticore and looked down at the forest below. The number of life breaths that could be detected within the range of spiritual perception had been sharply reduced to a level that made people sigh.
The battle of the Sick Forest destroyed tens of thousands of jungle creatures, and the impact on this black forest was unprecedented. Although the creatures in the black forest are very mobile, the vacancies here will soon be filled by the jungle creatures in the nearby areas, but the quantity and quality are definitely several levels lower.
The density of jungle creatures also determines the number of monsters that this black forest can support.
With fewer monsters, the safety of his own witch tower will be much higher, but the monster resources will be somewhat lacking.
Just as Grimm was daydreaming silently, the three-headed demon dog Angujia, who had been running wildly on the ground, finally stopped at the entrance of a huge valley.
The scorpion lion that Grimm was riding circled, and the huge bat wings wrapped in the whistling wind, and landed beside Angujia.
Grimm jumped off the scorpion lion and looked carefully at the gloomy and terrifying forest in front of him.
Compared with the common black forest, this place should be called the "white forest".
The valley chosen by the demon-hunting spider Tula as its nest is full of tall and straight ancient trees, but there are rarely lush treetops and shrubs, thorns, and vines that cover the open spaces in the forest. Instead, there are white spider webs that look like ghosts.
On the treetops, between branches, and between trees...
In short, wherever there are gaps, they are covered with white sticky spider webs and groups of large or small white cocoons.
Some white cocoons are entangled between branches, some are embedded in tree holes, and some are hanging on both sides of the road, gently swinging up and down with the night wind.
In some white cocoons, Grimm sensed a faint breath of life, while the life in most white cocoons had been sucked dry of body fluids, turning into a terrifying mummified corpse.
But what is abnormal is that Grimm led the three-headed demon dog deep into the valley for nearly a hundred meters, but did not find any spider creatures!
All buried in the magma sea?
As soon as this idea came up, Grimm himself rejected it.
Tula is such a cunning monster lord, it is impossible for him to do such a decisive thing. There must be spider subordinates hiding in its nest that are capable of protecting its home, and after it escapes from the underground, it will probably hide in its own nest to recover its injuries.
If I guess correctly, it took away Medusa before leaving, probably to restore its strength. The only thing I don't know now is whether it plans to eat Medusa alive, steam it, or fry it.
When he thought of Medusa's gorgeous face and the graceful figure of a beautiful snake, Grimm couldn't help but feel a pity. It's such a waste to eat such a "beauty"!
Grimm's black pupils flashed with blue light, slowly swept across the spider jungle in front of him, and his expression gradually became solemn.
In his mind, every time he swept across a dense spider web, the elemental vision would scan a trace of energy flow in the spider web. And the warnings from the chip were endless.
"Warning...Warning...Unknown protective force field discovered...This protective force field can absorb mental power and block the penetration of mental perception..."
Hey, a spider web that can block mental perception?
Grimm walked to a tall old tree, reached out and grabbed the dense spider web that was overturned on the trunk and tightly wrapped around the old tree, and gently tore it.
Sticky, tough, and with a hint of numbness that can paralyze people's minds...
If Grimm was an ordinary jungle creature, he would probably be quickly drained of his mental vitality if he hit such a spider web, and become one of the many white cocoons here.
Grimm tried hard, and with his 3 points of strength, he couldn't tear these seemingly ordinary spider webs. You know, the strength of an adult black bear in the Black Forest is only 3 points. 3 points of strength is enough to make Grimm a humanoid beast in the jungle. Even without any witchcraft, he can defeat most carnivorous beasts with his bare hands.
Of course, monsters like the Earth Violent Bear and the Iron Rhino are not included!
Grimm snapped his fingers lightly, and a blazing flame immediately ignited on his right hand that was holding the spider web. With the help of witchcraft, the spider web that was just tough and sticky like rhinoceros skin immediately disappeared with a hissing sound.
It seems that fire is indeed the nemesis of this spider web!
Grimm's palm covered with flames stretched forward, and the spider webs that wrapped the ancient tree layer by layer immediately melted away quickly like boiling soup pouring snow.
Soon, the dark and withered bark of the ancient tree was revealed.
Grimm punched out without hesitation, and the iron fist with sparks directly smashed the outer bark of the ancient tree and penetrated into it.
The ancient tree is hollow!
When Grimm pulled out his fist, purple-black and smelly blood flowed out of the gap in the ancient tree, and countless small spiders poured out from it. And through the gap, Grimm saw the white bones and remaining hair in the hollow tree cavity.
Grimm's discovery seemed to have touched the entire spider forest. The horrible mummies hanging between the treetops and branches suddenly moved strangely, tearing the spider webs on their bodies with stiff movements.
Once they got rid of the shackles of the spider webs, they actually flew over the tall ancient trees with agility not inferior to cheetahs, howling and rushing towards Grimm and the three-headed demon dog.
For a moment, the entire spider forest was in turmoil! chapter;
