Chapter 20: Strange Operations

Wondering about the jade statue and the motives of the dwarf wizards, Xue Hua decided to take a trip to the crypt deep in the Spider Forest to see what these guys were up to.

If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind "borrowing" the jade statue to play with, and let Kyreus, the new phase technician who joined his research team, see what the statue was for.

Xue Hua quickly came to a hive base at the edge of the Spider Forest with the help of a worm path, he released a part of the swarm units in the base, and then easily avoided the demon patrol and monster sentry here under the guidance and protection of the Guardian King Worm and the shadow insects hiding around.

The reason why the Spider Forest is called the Spider Forest is because this ghost place seems to be especially favored by creatures like spiders.

At least 60% of the spiders in the entire rainforest are gathered here, from ordinary animal spiders to monsterized spider demons, as long as they are spiders, you can definitely find them here.

The most striking feature of the Spider Forest from the outside is a large shaded forest with cobwebs in between, and if you are walking in the jungle west of the rainforest and suddenly crash headlong into a life-tall spider web, you are already in the territory of the Spider Forest.

Don't ask Xue Hua how he knew about this experience, he is now desperately tearing the cobwebs stuck to his head with a gloomy face!

"Damn it! Damn it! This damn place! It's stuffy, it's hot, and there's a lot of bugs! Forget that, what's going on with these cobwebs flying all over the sky? Is this the House of Spiders? How many spiders! ”

Xue Hua waved his staff irritably, he had just ridden a cockroach and crashed directly into a huge spider web, and then a spider with a grinding plate crawled out of the tree later, and his eyes glowed green along the spider web, and he wanted to come over and make him his own luxurious lunch.

Of course, the final outcome of this unlucky spider is self-evident, but to Xue Hua's surprise, this thing that is no less terrifying than the Sinking Demon is actually not a monster at all!

OMG! This thing can almost run away on its back, you tell me it's a native species of the rainforest?

What exactly is wrong with this rainforest? Is it worth being cursed like this by a special god?

The spider with the big grinding disc is not a monster, so how big is the monster spider?

Wait for someone tall?

Well, it's pretty much the same!

When Xue Hua made his way to the edge of the Spider Forest and went a little deeper to find a whole nest of giant tarantulas covered in long hair and "taller" than a human, he felt that he was about to suffer from arachnophobia......

These things are really taller than people!

If you want to be judged by size, each tarantula in front of him is about the size of an SUV car, and these things that make people's scalps tingle are covered in strange gray patterns, and there is a little venom dripping from the huge turquoise fangs.

"Nima! Kill these things for me! ”

Xue Hua, who was surrounded by these guys, felt goosebumps rise layer after layer all over his body, and he immediately summoned a group of jumping insects and cockroaches to let them quickly kill all these creepy things.

These spider monsters do not seem to build webs, but they can hang themselves from danger through a silk thread attached to a tree through their belly and tail.

It's flexible, but it's not very useful for biters.

The swift speed and devastating bite of the hoppers can easily tear apart the spiders before they can hang themselves up to the treetops, and the cockroaches' jumping skills are the nemesis of these guys - they are perfectly capable of hunting down those who have already hoisted themselves to the top of the tree.

And in frontal combat, these things that look terrified and can completely frighten children to stop crying are no match for jumping insects and cockroaches.

Their primary counter seems to be venom in their teeth, but the last thing a swarm unit is afraid of is venom.

The fangs of tarantulas are useless against jumping insects and cockroaches, and once they lose this killer feature, these ferocious predators immediately become prey, and are easily wiped out by the jumping insects and cockroaches.

After killing this small group of tarantula monsters, Xue Hua paused for a moment and used the monitoring king worm to scout the distribution of monsters in front of him.

Although he was not afraid of these big spiders, Xue Hua didn't want to repeat the unpleasant experience before, not to mention that a considerable number of these spider monsters were simply projection sentries of the Demon Legion, specially set up to catch those professionals who went out to risk and escaped when Kurast fell.

There are already many professionals who don't know the truth have been recruited, and Xue Hua doesn't want to bump into it and expose his whereabouts while knowing that this is a trap.

He continued to follow the route marked by the Inspector King Worm towards the depths of the spider, and this time he really didn't crash into any monster lair along the way, but this forest still left a very bad impression on Xue Hua.

When he finally squeezed out of a large area of tropical plants, his body was covered with all kinds of dense cobwebs like woolen threads, and there were even many spiders crawling between the crevices of his clothes and even in his hair......

“... I'm really trying to resist the urge to summon a few heavy artillery governors to burn this place to the ground... I hope the jade statue in the cave is worth my visit, or I'll be an arsonist... Hey, hey, hey~"

Xue Hua stretched out his gloved hand, grabbed a fist-sized spider that climbed above his head, pinched it to death and threw it into the distance, and rewarded it with a corpse explosion by the way.

The fragmented spider corpse finally made Xue Hua's spirit on the verge of collapse change a little (Spider: MMP!). He cleared the cobwebs from his body a little, and then lurked next to the cave under the protection of a shadow worm, pulling out the leaves of the spider's silk and looking out.

In front of him was a relatively wide clearing in the forest, and in the center of the clearing there was a half-buried cave entrance, and more than a dozen horned demon clones held large axes to enclose the clearing in the center, and there were constantly dwarf wizards going in and out of the cave entrance.

They seemed to be preparing something, and occasionally the Sheephorn Demon would fetch some blood-oozing packages from the jungle on the other side and hand them over to the dwarf wizards, who would carry them into the underground caverns one by one.

"What are they doing here?"

In the mind of the main nest, Xue Hua manipulated the mimic chick disguised as one of the dwarf wizards, and asked it to try to see if it could steal a package or open it before it was thrown into the huge crypt in the cavern to see what it contained.

The huge crypt was behind the stone platform where the jade statue was kept, and all the dwarf wizards who got the blood-oozing package would eventually throw it directly into the black rumbling crypt.

Unfortunately, the dwarf wizards watched the blood-oozing packages so closely that they didn't give the mimic chicks any chance to mess with them.

This made Xue Hua feel a little depressed, and at the same time, he also wanted to know what these guys were doing.
