Chapter 16 A group of demons dance 8
Nothing happened overnight.
The monster did not appear, so Chen Xiao naturally would not sit and wait for death. From Wan Ji's mouth, he learned that the spider monster would appear every four or five days. He made a quick decision to go to the nest.
There were clues provided by the butcher, and they quickly found that section of the cliff.
The cliff is not very high, but the terrain here is slightly raised, blocking the sunlight, so the cliff is dark and wet, like a cracked pit.
There is a place in the deep pit covered with white silk, and at first glance, some kind of large animal corpse is buried with moldy and thick hair.
Chen Xiao threw a ball of fire down, and the white silk was burned into a pool of black mud, but the bottom was too humid, and the flames burned for only a moment before they went out.
He simply jumped down, used his long sword to lift the thick layer of spider silk, raised his head to Lin Yuan and Shi Xianyu above and said, "There is a cave here, which should be the monster's nest. You guys come down."
After saying that, Chen Xiao suddenly realized that Shi Xianyu was a delicate little girl and probably couldn't get down.
Otherwise... let Linyuan take the initiative?
Chen Xiao's eyes fell on Lin Yuan, and he felt that this kid was a little stupid. He didn't know whether he would carry someone down or hold him down in a while? After all, the area and part of his back and hug, the body contact was different.
Just as he was thinking, Shi Xianyu jumped off with a clatter of the sheep, very neatly.
Chen Xiao: “…………”
I miscalculated it. I forgot that the sheep are rock climbing monsters, so it is naturally no problem to have such a small cliff.
Lin Yuan then jumped off easily. After landing, he saw Chen Xiao’s expression subtle, and frowned and asked, “What?”
Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's okay, let's go in. I've already checked it just now. There is no demonic energy inside. I guess the spider demon is not in the nest at this time."
The three of them avoided the white silk at the hole and walked in cautiously.
The cave was dark and dull, Chen Xiao lit a fire talisman to illuminate the surroundings - it was very big inside and had a wet and fishy smell. No white silk was seen on the ground, only some soil and rocks. I guess the thick white silk outside was to protect the territory.
There are some white pupa not far away, and because of the limited light, it is hard to see clearly.
Chen Xiao activates the spell to make the fire talisman burn more vigorously and shine further.
He walked up to check, his brows frowned, and the white pupas in front became more and more dense. He walked to the end of the cave, and his face gradually turned pale! It was because the white pupas were all innocent villagers after another!
These villagers were covered in white silk, only showing their lifeless faces. Each face was pale, and their mouths and noses were covered with scratches and bruises from crawlers, and there was no trace of vitality.
Chen Xiao was furious and almost gritted his teeth, saying, "This monster is so evil that it is not done to such an extent. If it is not eliminated, it will be difficult to eliminate my great hatred!"
Linyuan stopped beside a white pupa, squatted down and looked, "...it's alive."
"What?" Chen Xiao was stunned, walked over immediately, bent down and tried the breath of the person in the pupa. It really had a faint breath!
Chen Xiao went to check other white pupas nearby, checked more than twenty in a row, and found three survivors.
His heart was like a rock pressing on his mouth. When he thought of the innocent people suffering this disaster, the heavy feeling in his heart was indescribable. "The spider silk itself is not very toxic and will only make people paralyzed. These people were starved to death and thirsty."
Shi Xianyu saw that his face was too ugly and comforted him in a low voice: "... Fortunately, they shouldn't suffer much before they died. After people fell into a deep coma, they wouldn't feel anything."
Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed, "This monster is really hateful. It does not take the essence of the blood and energy of living people, but why do you catch these innocent people to torture them!"
Shi Xianyu and Linyuan said nothing.
What the spider monster does is indeed incredible. What is the reason why it is to catch people but not eat them. They are all wrapped in cocoons and pupas hidden in caves?
Chen Xiao used his sword to cut open the thick white silk, and the villagers inside were like dead bodies. The skin under the white silk was purple and swollen, and his clothes were all sticky and wet, making it difficult for Chen Xiao to determine the depth of the toxicity.
He frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have to find a way to bring these still alive people back."
Shi Xianyu pursed his lips, looked out of the cave, and asked hesitantly: "Did you hear it..."
Chen Xiao and Lin Yuan were both stunned and looked at Shi Xianyu at the same time.
"You heard that sound again?" Chen Xiao subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.
Shi Xianyu was also a little confused. He could hear it very clearly, so why did neither of them seem to hear it?
She nodded and whispered, "Like the last time, I kept calling for the child. Didn't you hear it?...You guys heard it, they were shouting again."
Chen Xiao and Linyuan listened carefully again. This time they finally heard some movement, which was the sound of crawlers walking in the grass, and the sound of gasping sounds, and they didn't hear any "child".
"The spider monster is coming back." Chen Xiao looked around and frowned, "If you capture and kill it here, it will probably hurt the villagers. We will find a place to hide first and then look for opportunities."
There is no shortage of Tibetans in this cave, and many uneven rocks and sunken cracks can provide cover.
The three of them looked for a place to hide, but the sheep were not convenient to hide. In the end, the bighorn sheep lie down in the corner. From a distance, the white sheep looked similar to those cocoon pupas.
Chen Xiao extinguished the fire talisman, and the cave turned into darkness, with only a slight light coming from the entrance of the cave.
Shi Xianyu shrank behind a rock. When he heard the sound getting closer and closer, his heart also pounded. When he thought that the sound was probably the only one who could hear it, he became more and more uncontrollable and had goose bumps...
"Child...my child...child..."
The resentful female voice is getting closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of arthropod crawling.
"Child...eat, eat..."
Crash.
It seemed like something fell down, rustling, rustling...
Shi Xianyu couldn't help but poke out half of his head and took a secret glance.
Just this glance made her eyes widen, and an indescribable chill spread from her head to her feet! She froze!
She saw the spider demon feeding!
It actually treated the cocoon pupa as children and fed many moths, earthworms, centipedes and poisonous scorpions into the mouths of the villagers! The half-dead insects twisted and struggled on the villagers' faces, some fell on the ground, some crawled into their noses, and some drilled into their eyelids! There was even a half-left beetle, leaving green pus on its pale skin.
Shi Xianyu almost vomited!
She hates bugs! She even hates half of the remaining bugs!
The spider demon was like a careful mother. He fed two pupas one after another, and the people's mouths were bulging before finally leaving the nest and continuing to feed the children.
When the spider demon completely left, the three people hiding in the dark came out, their faces were ugly.
Chen Xiaohei came to the pupa who had just been fed with a serious face. He pinched the villager's face with one hand, forced the other party to open his mouth, and then reached in with the other hand to dig the bugs inside.
Some insects are dead, some are alive, and they are taken out and crawled around the ground, and are burned clean by Chen Xiao's fire talisman.
The villagers' aura became weaker and weaker.
"We must send these living villagers back as soon as possible." Chen Xiao said, "Otherwise, if you are tossed by that monster a few times, these villagers will not be able to survive."
Shi Xianyu nodded in disgust, "Then, hurry up..."
She couldn't help with this, and her stomach was like a turbulent person. Before she vomited, she rode the sheep out quickly, so as not to hold them back.
Chen Xiao and Linyuan rescued the villagers who had left breath and sent them one by one to the periphery of the forest one by one, then asked the villagers to bring a stretcher and carry them back to the village together.
These people were tied up by white silk for too long and the toxins entered their bodies too deep. Although Chen Xiao prescribed medicine, he was afraid that the medicinal power of ordinary herbs would not be enough. He took out a few precious lark fruits to boil them in water and let them take it, so he was a little relieved.
He worked hard all day long, saving people and treating diseases. At night, he still didn't dare to relax. The spider demon found that there were fewer "children" and would definitely come to find them.
Chen Xiao and Linyuan did not sleep for another night, and they kept their nerves tense all night.
But the spider demon did not appear.
Wait until dawn the next day, Wan Ji found Chen Xiao and guessed: "There is more than one village outside the Black Abyss Forest. The monster might have gone to another village last night. If the Taoist priest needs it, I can ask someone to go to the neighboring village to find out the news."
Chen Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It's meaningless to find out the news now. Even if you know where it went last night, you can't tell where it will go tonight."
After hearing this, Wan Ji lost his mind for a moment.
Chen Xiao paced back and forth in the room, pondering without saying a word.
Even though he and Linyuan are extremely physically strong, they cannot continue to consume this. They will always have time to rest, but the spider demon may threaten the safety of the villagers at any time...
"If you can draw it out, it will be easier to deal with..." Chen Xiao murmured to himself.
Wanji asked: "Can we wait for the rabbit near the nest?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "The terrain there is good for the monsters, difficult to deal with, and it is easy to escape. It is best to set a trap and then lead it to appear..."
"But how can it appear?" Wanji looked puzzled, "Every time it comes to the village, there is no sign..."
Chen Xiao was also in a dilemma. He had learned several formations of demon-driven demons, but he had never learned how to attract monsters.
Shi Xianyu sat aside. Seeing that everyone was silent, hesitantly raised his hand and asked, "What about pretending to be a child?"
Chen Xiao was stunned and turned his head to look at her, "Pretending to be a child? What's the point?"
"Just... call her mother?" Shi Xianyu slowly retracted his hand and said uncertainly, "Hasn't it been looking for a child all the time, so I thought, call her a few mothers, maybe it can do it?"
Chen Xiao felt a move in his heart, and felt that this might work, so he immediately asked Wanji: "Does there be abandoned houses in the village?"
Wan Ji was stunned for a second and replied, "Is that house in the Hunter's house OK? No one lives in the Hunter's house anymore, and the house is at the easternmost end of the village."
Chen Xiao ordered: "You go and gather people now and let everyone put firewood and hay around the house. We will try to attract the spider demon tonight!"
Wan Ji didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went out to summon people-
Chapter completed!
