Chapter 15 Red Dot
"Militi, what's going on inside?" Mia's cold voice was filled with a faint anxiety.
Deep down, the layers of spiral stone stairs downwards have completely isolated the light. The continuous darkness has made everyone stop, almost strengthening their perception ability to the maximum, trying to capture any slight abnormal movement around them.
Experienced mercenaries know that they must not make any moves before they are absolutely necessary. When they lose their eyesight, everyone's spirits are tight. Even if they are just an inconspicuous small action, they may mislead their companions and induce their extreme behavior.
Once the battle breaks out, it is easy to form a chain reaction and evolve into a melee between people. It is estimated that before the enemy is seen, the blood will flow into a river of killing one's own people.
Therefore, everyone stood quietly, waiting for the command of captain Mia.
"No abnormal movement." Militi's voice came from the darkness, "at least there was no abnormal movement on its body."
"Can you see?" Xiu'er's slow speech speed made the tense hearts of several people involuntarily relieve a little.
"Well, there is still a difference from seeing in the usual sense, but even if you can see it." Militi hesitated for a while before whispering, "It's better to light up the light, so you can't see anything, it's too dangerous."
"No." Mia shook her head subconsciously, but immediately thought that no one could see her movements, and she couldn't help but sighed mockingly, "It shouldn't wake up yet. If light is used, the change of magic will probably wake it up from the sleep. Our current position is not suitable for the tough battle, so it is better not to wake it up."
"Then my magic weapon is the same." Yuli, who claims to be an ordinary winger, also lowered his voice with the two mages, "It will also cause magical changes."
"I have a problem." Shure seemed to be infected, and also kept the volume to a minimum, "Why do you guys speak in a low voice?"
"Huh?" Mia was stunned. Yes, why did she speak in a low voice? The spider does not rely on hearing to perceive the surrounding environment, or it has no hearing at all, and it has no meaning to lower the voice.
"Actually you are all wrong. Spiders have hearing. They rely on their legs to listen to sounds. In my hometown, someone has done experiments to prove that spiders' legs are indeed hearing." Even in the dark, Shuer still maintained a serious expression and his voice was very serious. "The first experiment was to put the spider on the table, say to it, climb, and then it crawled away. In the second experiment, he cut off its legs and said to it, climb, and this time it couldn't hear it, so he didn't move."
"Ha, heh, heh, I feel so cold." Dark made a dry laugh at the front, and at the same time it sounded aloud, as if he was rubbing his arms coldly. Fortunately, the stupid jokes successfully relaxed everyone's spirits and were not scared by these noises. "Brother, if you have time to tell such a boring joke, why don't you do some serious things?"
"What serious things should I do, say, a torch?"
Damn, I actually forgot the most primitive way. Mia really wanted to knock on her head to show punishment. During her years of adventure, she has been accustomed to using various methods of lighting, magic, magic, crystal energy lamp, magic weapon, but torches, which are not easy to use on-site materials, have poor lighting effects, and have few adaptations to the environment, so she didn't even remember them.
Huh, the flames rose up and illuminated the interior of the magic tower again. The flames were beating, causing the shadows left by people on the wall to constantly twist and change, full of strange aura.
"Start up." Mia passed the torch to Dak in the front, "Arriving at the destination as soon as possible and not giving the opponent a chance to wake up."
"Understand." Dake shook his torch, guarded his blood shield, jumped several times in a row, rushed to the end of the stairs, and stepped onto the bottom corridor with his feet.
"Follow behind, don't fall behind." Mia waved her hand and issued instructions continuously, "Militi, where is the entrance? Directly opposite? OK, Dark, go around from the left, Moria, stare at the right side to prevent enemies from attacking from the right side. Savage, how far can your hearing cover? You can hear clearly in this layer? Well, if there is a strange sound, you will immediately repay. Rudock, have you found any sense of smell?"
"Hahahaha, I can't hear it if I cut off my legs, hahaha." As soon as Mia's inquiry came out, the orc, who had always been furious, suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that even the beard on her face was shaking violently, "Hahaha, rely on her legs to listen to the sound, haha."
Almost everyone looked at him with respectful eyes. Even Dake, who was standing in front of him, could not help but look back and glance at him a few times. Everyone was full of admiration for his reaction. It was too difficult to survive so slowly.
"Stop." Mia shouted in a cold voice, "Answer the question immediately."
"Ah? Oh oh oh, haha, it's so funny, no, nothing, what's the problem? Oh, by the way, it's a bit strange." The tiger man wasted his strength and held back his laughter and said in a panting, "The smell is a little more fishy."
"Because the distance is close?"
"No, it's not that the fishy smell I smell is getting stronger, but that the fishy smell in the environment has really increased." The tiger man followed closely behind Dake and said without looking back, "I don't know the reason."
"The air discharge of the vents increased." Militi showed the qualities of a biological expert, "just like our breathing becomes rapid."
"Wake up?"
"It has not moved yet, but it should be fast, or it has actually woken up and is just setting up traps... tsk, it's so disgusting."
The object of Militi's disgusting is naturally not Mia, but refers to the environment inside the magic pool. The mercenaries have already rushed outside the magic pool as quickly as possible, but they found that they could not see everything inside the magic pool.
According to the design custom of the Magic Tower, except for the outer ring corridor at the bottom of the tower, there is only one huge room on the entire floor, which is the Magic Pool. The walls around the Magic Pool are reinforced layer by layer, which is stronger than the Magic Tower itself, leaving only a small door for mages to enter and exit for daily maintenance.
Because of the passing of time, the door has now been damaged and has fallen on the ground for a long time. Looking inward through the door frame, everyone can only see a piece of white flowers.
The entrance was full of spider webs, layered and dense, with sticky spider silk entangled with each other, and there were many shriveled corpses of animals hanging on it, which looked almost disgusting.
Militi had been observing the magic pool through the bones of the dead before. The things she saw were different from those of the naked eye, so she had no intuitive understanding of these spider webs. At this time, she saw large clusters of white and sticky spider webs stacked together with her own eyes, and she felt her scalp numb.
Of course, it is impossible for a normal spider web to see the state of the spider silk so clearly, but there are giant spiders several meters wide inside. Each spider silk is as thick as a wrist. It is crystal clear under the reflection of the fire, making it look particularly clear. As for the corpses of those animals, they are also very large, and many are even about the size of adults. Seeing such corpses is like they have been hung on the spider web.
"After thirty seconds of rest, ready to start the war." Mia took a deep breath, "Dak, ignite the spider webs in a while, all spider webs are afraid of fire, which is determined by the constituent elements."
"clear."
"Now, the rest and recuperation have started. I have heard that the environment is abnormal. Now I need to readjust the tactics. After using fire to break the entrance, Dak and Chales, you two protect me in. I will freeze the spider webs around with low temperature. Yuli, you ordinary winged people like you should have a range magic weapon. Okay, after the spider webs are frozen, you are responsible for smashing all spider silks and burning them all."
"Hehe, I understand." It is very difficult to make a range magic weapon. There are not many existing ones. Of course, it is not something that ordinary wingers can have, but "ordinary" wingers like Yuli are definitely exceptions. Yuli's feet are floating in the air without touching the ground. He took off his gloves with a smile, took out two rings, one left and one right, and put them on his fingers, "I like to set fire."
"Be careful when fighting in close combat, don't get close to areas we haven't cleaned before. The stickyness of these spider silk looks very strong. If it is stuck, what may not happen. Moria, you shoot at a distance, if someone is stuck by spider silk..."
"Can I just give him some fun?" Lin Jing, in the elf form, looked at Xiu'er with a naughty look, as if he was considering where to ejaculate more quickly. Finally, his eyes remained under his lower abdomen. Such a sinister intention made Xiu'er threaten her with bared teeth.
"I think it's normal for me to think about shooting the spider silk and letting go of people first." Mia had a stern face, afraid that she would lose her mind if she was angry. "In addition, before everyone dies, there is no need to give anyone a pleasure."
"Hey? What a pity." Moria showed a very regretful expression and glanced at the selected target reluctantly, "Then we have to change the shot."
"Remember to wait for me to come out to fight close to the enemy." Finally, Mia gave Dark a thumbs up, "Start, good luck to everyone."
"Huhuhu", the torch did not touch the spider web, but the flame had swallowed several spider silks. The spider silk was still flammable. The flame extended inward along the spider silk, and soon burned through a large hole in the entrance spider web.
"Enter." With Mia's order, Dark and the scimitar Warrior Charles protected her one by one, and rushed into the burnt hole.
Entering the inside of the magic pool, Mia found that it was completely different from what she imagined.
There were indeed a lot of spider silk floating in the room, but it was much less than expected, and it was not as difficult as it was, especially the ground, which was much cleaner than expected. Although it was sticky when stepped on, it could at least move freely and not be stuck to the ground and unable to move.
