Chapter 8 The Rock Spider
The moment he saw the rock spider, the contractor understood that what Lu Chen said was correct, and he immediately retreated, so that he could escape the disaster. If he was slower, he would probably be caught up with one or two people underground. Facing hundreds of spiders, the person who left behind had no chance of survival.
However, even though Lu Chen helped them, they did not feel much grateful to Lu Chen. After all, Lu Chen abandoned them and walked away, which made them feel a little estranged.
Although they clearly stated that Lu Chen could leave directly, when Lu Chen really left, they would still hate Lu Chen, and people were so strange.
Lu Chen was not wrong in this regard. After he left, a contractor laughed at Lu Chen: "What a coward. It's okay if such a person leaves. No matter what the result is, let's just let him leave when he goes back."
This time, Renault did not object. He was also very unhappy about Lu Chen's behavior of leaving directly. However, Ji Hong didn't say anything. She might be disgusted with Lu Chen, but she also disgusted with the person who was talking bad things behind her back.
They could say bad things behind their backs, but when they really faced Lu Chen, they had hypocritical smiles on their faces again.
"I really thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered heavy losses." No matter what I thought in my heart, I still have to do the superficial skills.
In response to this, Lu Chen also replied lightly. He was concerned about when the rock spider could come up and is there any place to take action?
But this time, Lu Chen was destined to be disappointed. When he went down to investigate, Renault and his friends calculated well. When most of the mercenaries ran out of the mine, Lu Chen saw the figure of rock spiders. Seeing that the humans who were disturbing them had appeared on the ground, they retreated to the ground without hesitation.
Lu Chen, who was hiding under the black robe, did not show his emotions and allowed others to come up to thank him. As for what the others were thinking, they only knew.
The mercenary and the contractor came out of the mine, and the person in charge of the mine also discovered it. He was a little strange at first. The trouble was solved too quickly this time, but when he saw that the contractor and the mercenary were a little panicked, he also felt something was wrong.
He hurried over and when he arrived, he happened to see the scene of the rock spider retreating to the ground.
This made his face darker: "Damn it, it was these beasts, and the losses this time were much greater."
Their company has more than one mining area, and the monsters that survive underground, such as rock spiders, are often encountered, and they know the harm to this monster. They know more than others, and they hate this monster more.
Every time they are solved, a lot of money is paid. Some mines are even given up because of rock spiders. If the mines are smaller, the benefits produced will not be enough to hire contractors.
The mine light reconnaissance sent out a lineup of six contractors, which belong to the type that cannot be abandoned. At this time, the person in charge of the mine sincerely hoped that there were not many rock spiders underground, so that they could pay less.
Because I saw the monster directly, there was no need for the contractor to explain too much.
When he came to Renault, he forced a little smile and asked about the situation underground: "Thank you so hard. I don't know if there are many spiders underground, can you solve it?"
When he asked this, he already knew the answer in his heart. If it could be solved, the contractor would not escape in a hurry. Now he asked, just to be in a deliberate manner.
As expected, Renault said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are more than a hundred rock spiders underneath. This is not something we can deal with."
Although there are many rock spiders underground, if the contractors have all their trump cards, they can still be killed. However, in this way, they will all be seriously injured and have bad luck. One or two people will die, and they do not want to bear such losses.
Unlike the forced tasks released by Nightmare Space, if the tasks in this world are too expensive and no one is willing to do them, nothing is important, and all the tasks taken by the contractor are the kind that can be dealt with.
Hearing the answer, the head of the mining area's face became completely bitter and he barely cheered up. He said, "More than 100 people are definitely a big nest underground. Entering such a dangerous place, you can find out the number of enemies. You have done a good job. Go and rest first, and the mission reward will be delivered soon."
The contractors can be said to be a group of desperate people. For no particular reason, the indigenous people of this world will try to avoid conflicts with the contractors. The contractors under the threat of death can do anything.
Therefore, no one was worried that they would cheat on the remuneration of this mission, but the thanks from the head of the mining area made Renault look a little embarrassed.
They did not go deep into the ground and approach the warning area of the rock spider. After being discovered, they kept retreating. There was no way to see how many enemies there were. At this time, what was reported was the data Lu Chen mentioned.
Renault's embarrassment, the fat businessman did not feel it. Thinking of what happened later, all he had was frustration on his face.
Although the appearance of the spider is not his fault, this is where he is responsible. If there is a situation, the company will not ask so much. The company is very big, but because of the large and the interpersonal relationships are very complicated, there are many people staring at him in his position.
He was depressed, and he was not easy to show it, so he could only say self-deprecatingly: "It's really a bad luck, more than a hundred. If you didn't go to investigate, we would be unimaginable. Fortunately, there was no spider-worm mother."
What he said was clearly heard by Lu Chen next to him: "If the spider-worm mother you mentioned is a larger rock spider, then congratulations, there is one underground."
Lu Chen's words made the fat businessman stunned for a moment. At this time, his face was ready to cry.
With a sad face, he looked at Renault: "I don't know who this person is, is what he said true?"
Renault was the leader among the contractors, so he asked Renault directly if there was any problem.
After hesitating for a moment, Renault did not answer immediately, but contacted Lu Chen with his intentional voice transmission: "Are you sure?"
In response, Lu Chen nodded silently. After seeing Lu Chen's statement, Renault also felt a little solemn: "My teammate has mastered very advanced detection technology, and what he said should not be wrong."
After receiving a confirmed reply, the person in charge could not sit still: "Charlie, take them to rest and live in the best room on the base."
After saying that, he had already run towards the base, and he wanted to report it to the management level to know.
Seeing his fat body running rapidly, Lu Chen always felt a strange feeling.
However, Lu Chen quickly put him aside and asked the mercenary captain next to him: "Is the rock spider insect mother very powerful? Why are they all so scared?"
Lu Chen saw Renault's solemnity and the panic of the mining area leader. Lu Chen also became interested in the rock spider insect mother who caused all this.
"Master Poison Scorpion. You don't know that rock spiders still belong to the level of wild beasts, but there is only a hard rock skin, but the spider insect mother is different. It is already a mutant beast. Its strongest mutant organ is the eyes. I heard that the light emitted by its eight eyes can make people petrified."
Lu Chen, who was originally just curious, was instantly attracted by the attention when he heard the words that people could make people petrify.
"Are you sure that rock spider-fungi can petrify people?"
"Sir. This news is public and can be seen in many places. I dare not deceive you." Although I don't know why Lu Chen reacted so much, the mercenary captain still answered quite respectfully.
After Lu Chen was confirmed, he was overjoyed. Since the spider-worm mother could be petrified, its eyes would definitely help Lu Chen's earth-type superpower improvement. He did not expect that he could find items to improve his strength by just one test attack. Although the spider-worm mother is still alive, in Lu Chen's heart, it could no longer escape.
Of course, Lu Chen had no idea of going down immediately. It is true that the rock spider was restrained by Lu Chen. But there were too many, and Lu Chen was not easy to deal with alone.
Without feeling at the moment, Lu Chen followed other contractors, led by Charlie, to a luxurious room.
This mining area has been operated for a long time, and both the mining tools inside and other facilities outside have been fully built. There are shops, bars and other entertainment venues, which are not much different from a small town. Of course, except for some security guards, the rest here were all ordinary workers and they were not strong.
In the room, Lu Chen started to think secretly about how to get the eyes of the spider-worm mother.
Going to hunt alone is the stupidest way. If you don’t mention whether you can get it, it will take a lot of effort to get it.
With the strength of this chamber of commerce, Lu Chen was the easiest way to do it, so that they could find someone to clear it out and Lu Chen followed.
But there is a problem if we go together. If others have any ideas about the eyes of the spider-worm mother, Lu Chen will be difficult to deal with. Although it can be snatched, even if it is snatched, Lu Chen's reputation in this world will be over.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen still couldn't find any way to be both good. Finally, Lu Chen went out to find the mercenary captain. He wanted to inquire about the price of the spider-worm mother's eyes from the mercenary captain.
If it is not expensive, Lu Chen is planning to buy some with the survival point.
When looking for someone, Lu Chen first went to the place where the mercenaries rested. Although they were both hired, the place where the contractors lived was much better than the mercenaries. Those merchants treated the contractors completely as VIPs. They had no choice but to master powerful power and threatened death at any time. If such a person was not able to deal with it well, it would be a disaster.
Therefore, although ordinary people think that contractors may die at any time, they will be treated with caution when they are still alive.
Unable to find the mercenary captain, Lu Chen casually pulled a mercenary and asked.
The mercenaries were still very clear about Lu Chen. It was Lu Chen who discovered the rock spider in advance and let these ordinary people escape a piece. This was also a life-saving grace. When Lu Chen asked, the mercenary replied respectfully: "The captain and the others were all in the bar."
Nodded and let the mercenary leave, Lu Chen went toward the bar alone.
Lu Chen had thought about inquiring about the information of the mother rock spider insects online, but these things can be regarded as a very precious material. If there is no special way, it will not be found online.
Although other contractors may know, Lu Chen no longer wants to get involved with them too much. One mission has already given Lu Chen a general understanding of the mission mode of this world.
The bar is quite chaotic, and the habits of mercenaries are not as good as those of regular troops. Especially after drinking, Lu Chen frowned when he saw the messy scene inside.
He thought about taking these mercenaries into Kuixia, but when he saw their side, Lu Chen hesitated again. What he wanted first was people who could execute orders meticulously like the army, but Lu Chen also knew that such requirements were a bit too high.
"Come on one step first. If you subdue them, there is still time to sort them out slowly."
The tavern was very big and a little confused. After searching in it for a long time, Lu Chen found the mercenary captain. At this time, he was watching with a map, but he did not drink as much as an ordinary team member, which made Lu Chen exclaim.
Seeing Lu Chen coming, the mercenary captain immediately stood up to greet him: "Is there anything wrong with Lord Poison Scorpion coming?"
"Is there something to ask?" Lu Chen did not tell what he was going to say directly, but looked around. The mercenary captain understood what Lu Chen meant, waved his hand to let the others retreat.
Seeing that there was no one around, the mercenary captain asked: "I don't know what sir wants to ask?"
Because of Lu Chen's actions alone, the contractors were a little disgusted with Lu Chen, but the mercenaries generally had a good impression of Lu Chen. After all, Lu Chen discovered the rock spider, which saved them from a catastrophe.
Without answering him immediately, Lu Chen looked at the map on the desktop and recalled that Lu Chen found that this was the topographic map of the mine cave, with many forks marked inside. This should have been given to the mercenary captain by the head of the mining area.
"You still have to go downstairs to deal with those rock spiders?" The moment he saw the map, Lu Chen knew the choice of mercenaries.
"Yeah, yes, but we will only go down until Paul finds other teams and has enough strength to understand those rock spiders. It's also the same thing that Lord Poisonous Scorpion stays here."
"Yeah, there is indeed." How could Lu Chen, who had thought about the eyes of the spider-worm mother, leave at this time?
After pausing, she made sure that no one was listening, Lu Chen asked: "I heard that the eyes of the spider-worm mother can petrify humans. I am very interested in these strange things. Do you know the price of these eyes? Also, do you have a channel to buy these eyes?" (To be continued.)
