The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 74 Accidental Discovery

According to Lan Sheng and Shu Tong, there are several hidden underground caves in the middle of the Wild Wolf Plain.

These caves were originally formed by nature, and the huge space that formed the hollow inside should have been formed by hundreds of thousands of years of erosion.

It is difficult for ordinary people to discover the existence of these caves, so only the greedy wolf gang and native animals like red wolves who are determined to set up camp in this environment and try to survive can discover this gift of nature.

The early occupiers of this underground cave were the Red Wolves. The Greedy Wolf Gang made several windfalls in the past few years, and they caught those Red Wolves who used this as a nest.

Yelangyuan is in a hot and humid state all year round. Once it rains, it will be continuous. If the rain is too heavy, it will be difficult to distinguish the road above from the potholes. No one knows that the next step is to step on the ground. It can be said that it is impossible to walk up or down directly into the depression, and the existence of this cave is a natural shelter from the wind and rain.

The bottom edge of the cave is just where the underground river flows. The water is cold and the temperature is low, which is very suitable for the storage of fruits and vegetables.

Under these innate conditions, the Greedy Wolf Gang further excavated and transformed it, and this place has become a temporary location and warehouse for the Greedy Wolf Gang.

Jiang Yichen opened the secret door on the mound according to the method given by Lan Sheng.

With the dull sound of rubbing stones, a secret door that only one person entered sideways appeared on the side of the mound.

It seemed that he could catch a glimpse of the faint light from below in the dark cave, which must be the hidden cave of the Greedy Wolf Gang.

Jiang Yichen did not enter rashly, but listened carefully to see if the sound caused by the opening of the stone door would make the person in the cave move.

After a while, nothing happened.

Out of prudence, Jiang Yichen randomly picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the hole to see if there might be any hidden weapons inside.

However, apart from the sound of the stones hitting the wall and the ground, there was no movement in the cave, Jiang Yichen no longer hesitated, and flashed into the cave on one side.

Through the weak light, you can vaguely see that there is a stone road with a width of only a foot, hovering against the wall of the cave, and the brightly lit place about five feet below is the bottom of the cave.

Jiang Yichen displayed Qinggong, and after cultivating internal skills, he could clearly notice that he had more control over his body, and his movements were more vigorous and light.

The footsteps tapped the stone wall a few times, and then gently landed on the ground at the bottom, and the sound was inaudible.

After reaching the bottom, you can already see the results of the greedy wolf gang's excavation and development, and the passage that allows several people to pass through at the same time extends to the depths.

There is a lamp hanging on the wall of the cave only two feet, so the light in the cave is sufficient.

There is not a lot of oil on the lights, so it also means that there is someone in the cave, or someone has come recently.

Walking down the sloping passage, Jiang Yichen came to a more empty cave after about half a cup of tea.

This should also be a natural underground cave, or because it is large and deep, it is difficult to enter directly from the upper part.

There is no open fire in this cave, and no one exists. There are only a few things placed in a mess, some strange-shaped vegetables and fruits that Jiang Yichen has never seen before, as well as sacks, shovels, machetes, ropes and other tools.

For those rare and exotic fruits, Jiang Yichen had no intention to satisfy his curiosity at this time, for fear of delaying his actions in case of eating a bad stomach.

It seems that there are no clues in this cave.

Just as Jiang Yichen was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of several circles next to the stone wall of the cave, which seemed to be connected together, almost blending in with the color of the cave, almost making it pass by.

Jiang Yichen moved closer to examine it carefully, and he couldn't help but be surprised. These dark-white elliptical spheres about the size of a half-human body were very likely to be spider eggs. There were nine of them.

Jiang Yichen felt a little panic in his heart, not out of fear of spiders, but seeing that the spider eggs were all this large, he thought that the spiders that lay eggs should be at least three or four feet in height. Appalling.

Staring intently at these spider eggs, Jiang Yichen seemed to have noticed something unusual, and rubbed his eyes a few times, thinking that he was blindfolded.

Could it be that there is something hard to see with the naked eye on this spider egg?

In addition to basic curiosity, people also have a little fear of the unknown. Jiang Yichen is also the same. He took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and then reached out and grabbed the void.

When you start to touch it, it seems light and thin, but it has something to do with it. You can feel a little sticky after rubbing it.

It turned out to be a spider web, Jiang Yichen laughed wryly and laughed at himself for making a fuss.

After pushing the spider web to both sides by feeling, and then digging into the spider eggs below, you can't see what you touch, but it is stronger than the spider web, and your hands are above and below it. When I stroked it, it seemed like a round object, but it was difficult to grasp with one hand.

Jiang Yichen immediately grabbed it with both hands.

Like arthropod legs.

Spider legs?

The legs of the spider shed its body!

Pulling forcefully, the slight friction sound of gravel and sand moving on the ground also proves that something is dragging for him, or the light is too dark, or the body itself is relatively transparent, and the naked eye still cannot see it clearly.

At this point, Jiang Yichen has already guessed that there is a giant spider that uses this as a burrow, laying eggs and molting here, and the people of the greedy wolf gang either choose to retreat from the enemy, or they have not been found here in the near future. , the cave was temporarily occupied by this large spider.

However, the big spider did not know where it went, and was not seen in the cave.

Could it be out foraging?

Jiang Yichen has no research on spiders, but he also has a basic understanding.

Spiders are carnivores with a wide range of diets. They mostly feed on insects such as mosquitoes and flies, but such a large spider probably feeds on red wolves or birds outside. Feeding on people, he would have no doubts.

For a time, many thoughts gathered in Jiang Yichen's mind. Although he didn't know whether it was reasonable or not, the unreasonable situations he had seen since he left the island were so unreasonable that it was difficult for him to judge what was reasonable, and he fell into contemplation.

Could it be that this giant spider is in the egg-laying estrus period, and with a more irritable temperament, it goes out and stalks, hunting and killing passers-by?

It's hard to explain this completely. In the past, the passersby were mostly in groups, and there were not a few people with stunts. Just like the seven people who walked with him yesterday, Jiang Yichen would not think that this spider can be so powerful. With a real gun, he killed seven people with one enemy and swallowed them in his stomach.

When I think of swallowing a corpse, I also think that the spider has no upper jaw and cannot directly swallow solid food. After successfully capturing the prey, the prey should be digested and decomposed into a liquid such as pus through the juice secreted in its body before it can be absorbed into the body. Even if the seven people were killed by this giant spider yesterday, it would be difficult for the spider to swallow all the bodies of the seven people in one day, and it should be stored and enjoyed slowly, then the spider should be at this time. The seven or six corpses on their way back to the cave?

Confused, Jiang Yichen scratched his ears.

Looking at the spider eggs again, a thought flashed through.

If the spider temporarily stores the captured prey spinning in the cocoon, it seems impossible to eat it when it is hungry.

Thinking of it, he did it, Jiang Yichen did not hesitate, he pulled out his fingers softly, and the sword edge gently stroked one of the egg bodies, waiting for it to change.

If the egg yolks flow out of it, it is undoubtedly a real spider egg. If there is no liquid, there is a high probability that there is a person hiding in it.

A thin slit was gradually opened and expanded, the liquid inside slowly flowed out, and then a slender leg stretched out.

These are real spider eggs.

This little spider is not small, but it is indeed a newborn cub. Its four pairs of feet are stretched out enough to wrap around Jiang Yichen's torso. However, it may be disturbed before the egg breaks out. Or need to adapt to the external environment and the new physical condition, this spider cub is crooked and difficult to stand, slightly fragile.

Suddenly, the little guy's body suddenly shrank and slammed towards Jiang Yichen's face.

Spiders do not have an upper jaw, but they have chelicerae, which cannot eat hard things, but are enough to bite through human skin, secrete venom, or paralyze or poison the prey directly.

Jiang Yichen was always vigilant, fearing that the sewer would capsize. At this time, seeing that the spider cub was so fierce, he didn't dare to show mercy. He took a few steps back, and a sword energy swept across. The little spider's body was divided into two and fell to the ground. splash.

Half of the body on both sides, each with four leg joints, curled up into a ball after flexing in the air for a few times, and stopped moving.

Jiang Yichen didn't intend to let go of the remaining eight spider eggs. He no longer bullied himself, and slashed the upper part of it with several sword qi, so that he could find out what was inside without accidentally hurting the inside.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Yichen was looking at the situation of each spider egg carefully, only to hear a change.
