"Who?"

As early as when Marvin and Lola appeared at the entrance to this mountainside, a figure by the lake had already noticed their existence.

The belly of the mountain is a naturally formed hollow, with a faint shimmer from above, which is some gem or night pearl.

Next to the house by the lake, two braziers were lit to illuminate a nearby area.

And Marven's arrival can be detected from such a distance, and the other party's perception is high.

However, Marven was not prepared to hide his figure.

He walked over generously.

Two figures by the lake greeted them vigilantly, each holding two daggers in their hands.

These are two thieves.

"Halfling?"

It wasn't until she got close enough that Lola exclaimed.

Marven frowned and glared back at her, and Lola didn't dare to say more.

However, her big eyes still looked curiously at the two halflings who lived in seclusion here.

"Didn't Master Marven just say that he was going to see an old friend? Why don't these two halflings seem to know him? ”

The girl's heart was full of doubts.

"Hello, Mr. Tuke, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Marven, the current lord of the White River Valley."

"Your neighbors."

Marven smiled genuinely and extended his hand to one of the older halflings.

The latter showed a hint of hesitation, and finally reluctantly shook Marven's hand.

"You know my name?"

"Of course." Marvin said, "A wise man sued me for this tunnel. My territory is in dire need of food and I need to go to Gem Bay to buy it. If you take the official road, it is obviously too late. You can only take a risk. The wise man sued me, and perhaps you would give me some guidance. ”

"Wise man?" Old Tuke snorted coldly: "Which boring wizard is it, right?" ”

"Only those boring wizards will go around with prophecy and scouting witchcraft."

"There is no peace under this mountain."

The old halfling muttered for a long time, looked at Marven, and suddenly said, "You look a little familiar." ”

"By the way, what kind of place did you say you are?"

Marven was stunned for a moment, he knew that in his previous life, there was a reclusive halfling master in the spider crypt copy in the game who could help clear the most difficult level, so he came to try his luck.

In his previous life, Marven didn't brush up on the spider crypt copies, so he was also very familiar with Old Tuke. It's not an exaggeration to say an old friend.

It's just that he didn't expect that his identity as the lord of the White River Valley seemed to cause some unexpected things.

At that moment, he said very sincerely: "White River Valley ......"

"Ah, I see!" The old halfling man showed a look of sudden realization: "Last time, a group of gnolls came down from the mountain, and they happened to be bumped into by me, and they muttered as if they were going to attack a territory, which is your territory, right?" ”

"Looks like those gnolls have failed?"

Marven nodded, showing a helpless look: "It's a pity that our granary was burned down by those hateful gnolls. ”

"My people are starving."

"I have to get enough food back to the territory within a week. And this shortcut is the fastest way I can find it. ”

The old halfling looked at Marven, as if to determine whether his words were true or not.

It took a long time before he reluctantly nodded and said, "Well, it's not my character to watch so many people starve to death." ”

"I can help you a little, but when it's done, you'll have to tell me which nasty wizard told you and my retreat."

Marven smiled naturally.

It's a lot easier now.

……

The Spider Crypt is a difficult dungeon, but it still requires a combination of multiple players to challenge.

The particularity of the black spider is naturally one of the reasons, but the most critical place is that in addition to the twelve black spiders, there is a red spider entrenched in the hero template.

This spider has at least third-order strength, and has also opened up its wisdom and named itself [Elizabeth].

This monster is not only powerful, but also very cunning. She is usually disguised as a normal black spider - as her skin can change color freely - to lower the vigilance of adventurers.

She also speaks lingua franca, tricking simple adventurers into saying that she is a cursed spider-girl and asking them to come to their rescue.

Most of the adventurers with simple brains have become Elizabeth's belly.

The reason why Marven wanted to ask Old Tuke for help was because of the existence of this red spider.

He went to Gem Bay to transport grain, which meant that he had to open the tunnel completely.

He had to destroy all the twelve black spiders and Elizabeth the red spider.

The black spider is just that, and the strength of the red spider Elizabeth, even the current Marven is a bit empty.

Of course, if the magician's beast form could still be used, Marven could naturally shoot all the way over and directly shoot these filthy creatures into scum.

Unfortunately, the Beast Form option is still gray, and I don't know when it will be lifted when it will be inactive.

At this time, the disadvantages of this part-time job are reflected.

The biggest problem with a warlock is uncertainty. The magician, on the other hand, has taken this shortcoming to the extreme!

If he could transform into an Anzula man-bear, Marven wouldn't need old Tuke's help at all.

But if you ask Old Tuk for help, you won't lose anything, and halflings usually have a good heart.

The reason why this guy lives in seclusion here is, firstly, for quietness, and secondly, for self-imprisonment. Old Tuke made a big mistake when he was young, and although he finally made redemption, he still couldn't forgive himself, so he went to the Screaming Mountains alone, found this crypt, and lived a secluded life under the mountains.

Old Tuke is a third-order thief class, if Marven remembers correctly, it should be Thief 9 Tracker 4, with a total level of 13.

His combat ability is weaker than most third-order classes, but he is strong in stealth and stealth, plus the halfling has a natural stealth bonus, so he can come and go freely in this spider crypt.

The little halfling beside him was a halfling orphan he had picked up in Gem Bay - very few halfling parents would abandon their children, and halfling outcasts were actually very rare. Old Tuck adopted it as his own appearance, and the name naturally inherited the tradition of halfling's simplicity.

Little Tuk.

In Marven's memory, little Tuke's background seems to be able to pull out a side quest, but now he is busy solving the problem of territorial food, and he doesn't want to be distracted for the time being, so he doesn't say much.

Little Tuk is also a thief class, and it should be the peak of the first order at the moment, and the little guy's talent is good, and he is very good among the aborigines.

Marven even had the idea of abducting little Tuck if he could.

It's just a pity that he knows the stubbornness of the halfling. Although this race is enthusiastic, it never trusts outsiders lightly.

Until he has established enough friendship with Old Tuk, it is impossible for him to forcibly abduct and sell the little halfling.

……

The next group left the lake where the halflings had retreated, returned to the fork in the road, and continued north.

With the addition of two halflings, the speed of the team's progress suddenly accelerated a lot.

Old Tuck was in the lead, he was all too familiar with the tunnel, after all, he had to take this path every time he went out to buy necessities.

Whenever a black spider appears, Old Tuke is not responsible for making a move, and it is up to Marven to solve it alone.

And Marven is also the best of the best, after showing the skill of easily killing the black spider three times in a row, not to mention that little Tuke repeatedly showed his admiring gaze, the old halfling people were impressed by Marven.

"Very exquisite body and knife skills, especially rare at your age. You must have a great Master. ”

Old Tuk commented on this.

Marven smiled, noncommittal.

His skills are all honed in actual combat, and the skills taught by his master are completely different from the same concept.

The two of them took the lead, and little Tuck and Lola were much safer with them behind them.

Especially the bored Lola, out of curiosity about halflings, keeps asking little Tuck non-stop.

Little Tuck is a very shy character, and he is often speechless when asked by Lola, and if it weren't for the darkness in the cave, I'm afraid you can see his flushed face.

The four of them walked all the way, and the black spiders that died in Marven's hands had reached nine.

However, Elizabeth, the red spider, still did not appear.

"It should be nearby."

Old Tuk muttered, "Everyone be careful. Red spiders can breathe fire, and that kind of flame is poisonous, and I don't have the antidote with me. ”

With that, he nodded at little Tuke.

The latter immediately and willingly went into a state of stealth.

Little Tuke's stealth is still very strong, at least he won't be caught by the red spider and dragged down.

The old halfling put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, and suddenly made a gesture at Marven, and he instantly entered a stealth state!

Marven understood what old Tuk meant, and leaned to the side.

Hide!

In an instant, Lola was the only one left in the tunnel, holding a torch.

"Huh?"

The girl couldn't react a little: "What are you doing?" ”

"Why are you hiding?"

In the next second, her face changed!

That damn Marven, shouldn't he be using himself as bait?

"Hey! Come out quickly! ”

Raising her torch and short sword, she shouted in a panic, "Damn Marven! I'll help you ...... owe me."

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Because at this moment, a clangling sound came from above the tunnel!

A huge silhouette crawled slowly.

She came from above the tunnel with her huge belly.

Lola held the torch, fear already enveloping her.

She jerked up her dagger and bluffed at the spider that appeared, "Don't come here!" ”

"I'll kill you if you come over again!"

The spider remained unfazed and continued to move slowly. Lola wanted to step back, but who knew that at this moment, an identical spider appeared behind her!

"It's over, it's dead!" Lola trembled with fear, sat down on the ground, and cried out, "As the Gisca's say." ”

"Fish men are unreliable!"

……

However, at this moment, a calm voice sounded in her ears: "Shut up! ”

A burst of knife light suddenly lit up on her left side, and Marven rolled on the spot and got under the feet of the spider behind her!

On the other side, Old Tuke also made a sudden move!

His dagger was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, the sound of a spider wailing could be heard from the cave!

Marven was also ruthless, and after a simple set of combos, this spider died!

However, when he looked back at Old Tuk, he had killed the spider as well.

The faces of the two suddenly became very solemn!

Both are ordinary black spiders.

"Damn! This red spider is even more cunning than in the game! Actually saw through our bait! Test with two black spiders! ”

Marven's heart sank, and he suddenly looked in all directions.

Suddenly, a flame burst out from afar, spurting out at everyone!

This flame covered a wide area, almost covering half of the tunnel!

Marven's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he hugged Lola and pressed her to the ground!

Flames whistled past his ears, and his clothes were almost set on fire.

On the other hand, Old Tuke also took advantage of the situation to protect the little halfling.

But their advantage has been lost.

The Red Spider already knew they were coming. She didn't appear directly, but disappeared at the end of the tunnel!

She will do everything she can to kill them. And this is her home turf!

"Grass! This is in trouble! Marven pushed his hand angrily.

I didn't expect to pinch a ball of tender things.
