After waiting for about fifteen minutes, three female warriors holding golden spears appeared and welcomed "Lord Diderit from the ground" to their underground city. As the only person who could change languages ​​between the two sides, of course, he had to go together, and he received very concentrated attention from the other party.
Regarding the curious eyes that their companions gathered, Feiqi would definitely not say that he was a "rare male human-shaped spider". He could only tell that it was his Tianyutong ability that made them curious. After all, he was the first person they knew to be able to quickly master and use this language.
There is no loophole in this explanation, but a group of women still feel that Feiqi is hiding something, but the most urgent thing is to observe these underground neighbors. Normally, ethnic groups living underground, such as koku, goblin or dwarf, are relatively shorter, which can better adapt to the cave environment. If you want to increase your size, you will generally become thick and long like giant worms, or cover your hard shells like earth elements. However, this group of underground creatures who call themselves "Eight-Earth Clan" develop in a slender and slender direction, which really goes against the laws of nature.
But I have to say that they are really good-looking, unreasonably good-looking.
Through the narrow corridors with breeding rooms on both sides and squeezed through the relatively low exit, the group found themselves in a vast underground space. This was a huge cave, with black stones on the left and right, surrounding a huge town in the center. It was a four-story underground mountain, or it could be described as "a huge stalagmites with a diameter of three thousand meters at the bottom". The Eight-Metered Clan built a spiral spiral road outside the stalagmites, then dug out cave houses along the passage, and built a tall "palace" at the top of the giant stalagmites.
The reason why the palace carries quotes is because it is majestic but unreasonable: First of all, the palace has no walls and doors and windows, and there are only dozens of thick stone pillars on the outside, which slightly lean to the middle to support the huge roof. Secondly, the upper surface of the roof and the ground in the palace are both inward and downward, like two big pots. The roof sanks are burning with raging flames, and the flames reflect the orange-yellow starry sky universe on the ceiling and four walls of the black stone. A huge chair is placed in the center of the sank in the house, and the highest godmother is sitting upright, waiting for guests coming from the ground.
The bamboo rat breeding room is on the wall outside this huge underground kingdom. It is connected by a thin rope between the huge stalagmites in the center, and the chariot passes through it. In addition to the huge stalagmites in the center, there are several slightly smaller stalagmites settlements in the cave, as well as more than a dozen black stone pillars hanging from the sky. There are rooms of all sizes on it, with sparks illuminating, and countless pairs of eyes curiously looking at the people coming from the ground.
However, no matter how many eyes there are, they are not as good as Feiqi's entire Hawkeye meditation vision. He quickly glanced around and found an interesting phenomenon. The eight-eyed tribe was divided into two types according to gender. Women were humanoids, and the young body had one eye that could not be opened. The children had two round eyes with weak vision, and four narrow vertical eyes with adults. Feiqi also saw six older eight-eyed women with squint eyes, but the number was very rare. And all the men of the eight-eyed tribe were
The spider-shaped body has four hind legs similar to a bent pick and two pairs of front legs that look like chisels, and the mouth is four short elephant-like tentacles. The number is about half of that of a woman. They are all busy manipulating cable cars, climbing up and down the mountain walls to carry things, or digging the mountain with hard chisel feet. They seem to only know how to work and have no curiosity. They are the only two creatures in the entire cave that are not interested in Feiqi and his group except bamboo rats.
"Back back, this is the guest of the Supreme Godmother." The female warriors of the Eight-Mind tribe lift the spear in their hands every few steps. It should be a kind of etiquette. "Pay attention to the objects above your head and the cliffs under your feet, and don't step on the air. I noticed that your hands and feet are not suitable for climbing on the cliffs, so you should pay more attention to safety."
"Thank you, we really don't have the ability to go straight up and down." Feiqi first expressed his gratitude, and then roughly translated this sentence to his companions.
"After a while, we will take the track rig directly to the High Hall. The Supreme Godmother is waiting for you. The tackle can take four people at a time, so you must divide it into several batches." The female warrior pointed forward with his spear, and everyone saw two female warriors in the same outfit waiting next to a track rig, and the three rigs were already parked next to the track. "If you are not very adaptable to the tackle, we can also escort you from the road. But then you have to go down first and then climb up, which is farther and more tiring."
Feich and Diderit discussed it and everyone chose the tackle. Especially Diederit, she said she had never done anything like that, and it looked very interesting and she must try it.
"Lord, let me be with you. If something goes wrong, my spell can be buffered, which is relatively safer."
At Feich's suggestion, Diderit and the other two elves plus Feich boarded the first tackle. The tackle was in the shape of a rectangular bathtub with a small door open beside it. The material was a bit like a mixture of shells and ceramics, and was hooked on the track by four slings in front and back. Two different female warriors checked the slings of the tackle, and then one of them jumped and stood on the ropeway with two slender legs.
Then, she let out a low roar and her body began to change. Her thick thighs split and turned into six spider-like thin legs. At the same time, her hips moved backwards, and her spine began to extend from her tailbone. In just a few seconds, she had become a human on her upper body and a spider on her lower body.
As the lower half of the body became larger, the black silk tights were stretched open. I don’t know what material the clothes were made of, with excellent ductility. No fiber broke, but it just turned into a fishing net. Just as everyone was surprised to watch, she hung upside down, her six thin feet crossed on the rope, and turned around to grab both sides of the pulley. "This is an extra security guarantee for distinguished guests." The female warrior of the Eight-Eyed Tribe explained.
"Thank you, but do the tackles often have problems?"
"Isn't this, there will be one or two times about a hundred times? Most of them are overloaded. However, our eight-eyed tribe can spin silk except babies, hook ourselves on the rope or throw ourselves on the track next to it to save ourselves. We have not lost our precious life for decades. Will you spin silk?"
"No, but I think the elves can jump on other ropes, and the effect is similar - they are very agile."
"Elf - So this is the name of your race?"
"I am a human, and they are elves. Do you have only one race in the Eight Eight Eight Clan?" Feiqi asked.
"Yes, we are the only ones. Oh, the opposite side has already signaled that you can drive, you are ready." The female warrior who was hanging upside down pushed the trolley and quickly accelerated under the action of gravity, and she also glided forward. Only then did Feiqi realize that the filaments on the top of her head formed two textures by different weaving methods. The filaments close to the support point are very rough, like countless hook teeth, which can play a stable role. Most of the filaments in the middle are very smooth, which should be better than Feiqi's greasy technique. So the trolley moves forward quickly without any obstacles.
It was an exciting trip, and the speed of the rig was quickly more than twice as fast as the galloping horse. Diderit was in front of the rig, excitedly spreading his arms, enjoying the illusion of the wind passing through his armpits. Feige was nervous. He was not very at ease with this simple rig, so he always grabbed Diderit's belt with one hand and the teasing cat stick with the other, and the magic spell was ready to go.
However, they did not encounter the unlucky situation once or twice a hundred times. The trolley started to slow down after running for more than half of the distance. Feiqi took a look and found that the secret was still on the thin filaments. The gradually changed weaving method gradually increased the friction and formed a continuous slowdown effect. When it approached the finish line, the trolley's speed was almost the same as that of a human running, so it was not scary at all.
At the end of the slide, in addition to the two female soldiers, two male spiders were waiting there in advance. They raised their legs to stop the rushing forward of the chariot, ensuring that it could stop slowly. At the same time, the female soldier, who was hanging upside down, turned over and jumped down, completed the transformation in the air, and combined the six hind legs into two long legs, stood beside the chariot, and then reached out to pull open the door of the car.
"What an interesting experience." Diderit was the first to jump out of the car, followed by Feiqi and others. Everyone waited by the track for a while, and the companions behind them all experienced the feeling of the speeding speed of the pulley, and then gathered and headed to the High Hall.
When we pass through the tall and stout supporting stone pillars of the hall, everyone feels like they become insignificant. It may be the feeling of being sunken downward and the constantly downward steps. However, when everyone faces the Supreme Godmother, a female ruler with a height of more than three meters and twelve black round eyes, they understand what is the reason for their becoming insignificant.
In order not to look naturally short, they could not go down to the bottom floor, so they could only stand on the third last step and talk to the sitting Godmother.
However, this little thought will be ineffective after the Supreme Godmother stands up. After all, facing a pair of long legs that are above her height, she will definitely be crushed in momentum.
"Welcome to the ground guests. I didn't expect that I would have such honor in this life cycle to be able to talk to foreign guests. I am Liz, the highest godmother of the Eight Eye Clan, the guide of the Eight Eye Clan, the builder of the shelter, the lord of the tribe and the net weaving craftsman of the fate, and the strongest underground spider girl."
After Feige finished translating, Diderit poked him: "Introduce me, speak more majestic."
"Uh..." Feichi almost stuttered and finally said: "Didrit, the lord of Minas Ishir."
That's it? Although Diderit couldn't understand, the pronunciation of his and his territory's name would not change. After that, three syllables were added, and he could guess that it was the lord's meaning. This was too unmagnificent! The elf glared at his eyes and almost poked Feiqi out of the hole with his eyes. Feiqi had no choice but to roll his eyes hard, and continued with a fierce look on his teeth.
"She comes from Elf Island, she is the lord of the Elf clan in the human kingdom, and a paladin of the Church of the Goddess of the Truth Thunder. She is blessed. At the same time, she wants to have a better name, but I really can't think of it. Please don't expose it and smile to deal with it. Please."
Diderit didn't know what Feich said, but she became more confident.
The Supreme Godmother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Welcome, Diderit from Minas Ishir. Also, you are Feige? What Ruby saw is you, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Feiqi lowered his head and admitted it. "Sir Supreme Godmother, we come with a belief in friendship and peace, and are willing to give gifts to the Bami clan to express our wishes."
Feiqi translated on both sides and told Didrit that he could give gifts. He explained the food and drinks on the ground, and introduced that humans and elves have a long tradition of planting, breeding and self-reliance. Since no one has seen the Eight-Mei tribe, this race must have to make a living by hard work, such as raising bamboo rats as food, weaving clothes and making tools by themselves. Sure enough, the same way of survival aroused favor, and the Supreme Godmother directly tasted the elves biscuits and berries.
It can be seen that she was not adapted to the taste of these foods, and the smile on her face was polite, which is understandable. After all, when she clapped her hands and the woman from the Eight-Earth Clan came up with a bamboo rat, the expressions of the elves were also very polite, which is understandable.
Relying on his death, he could be resurrected, and with his strong ability to accept all self-raised foods, Feiqi took the roasted bamboo rat and bit it in one bite. It was very fragrant, the meat was delicious, but it lacked other flavors. Feiqi looked at it and seemed that the food of the Eight Meta Clan had no seasonings and did not even put salt, which of course would have some impact.
"It's really good. This is the first time I've eaten this kind of food." Feich tore a small strip from the skewers and stuffed it directly into her mouth under the surprise gaze of Didert. "Dear Supreme Godmother, we have a custom on the ground that people who share food together can be regarded as friends."
"We don't have this custom, but I accept your ideas and we can be friends." The Supreme Godmother nodded: "But before that, I must answer my questions: You can use our language so skillfully and spin silk and move. Isn't it really a human-shaped male spider?"
"I am a human being. I can speak your language a special ability. I will not say a word before I saw Ruby. In addition, the matter of spitting silk is actually like this." Feiqi waved his staff, and three Qi element ropes flew out, took him around, and then returned to his original place. "This is my magic, and it can be mastered through learning, and it has nothing to do with my race."
"That's interesting." The Supreme Godmother said with a smile: "All this you show is highly consistent with the prophecy. Therefore, Feiqi, on behalf of the entire Eight-Mysterious Clan, I welcome your arrival."
