Forest spiders are a branch of giant spiders. They are named after they usually live in the forest. They can grow as tall as a person. There are black and green patterns on the surface of their bodies, which are good protective colors in the forest.

This kind of giant spider does not run very fast. Their hunting method is mainly to lay traps with spider webs near their nests, and stick gravel and dead leaves on the spider webs to camouflage. Once animals in the forest step into these well-camouflaged Go into the trap, and they will come immediately, use venom to make the prey lose their resistance, and then use spider silk to tie the prey into cocoons and bring them back to the nest to enjoy slowly.

If the person caught by the spider can be rescued in time, he can use aconite and cascara to make a decoction to alleviate the effect of paralyzing venom, so as to prevent the venom from affecting the body for a long time and causing irreversible nerve damage. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia·Animals"

Exhausted, Kenathes leaned on a big tree with a long knife, and felt that the forest spiders whose nest had been invaded were relentlessly chasing her. No intention of retreating.

Her lower leg was bitten by a small spider hiding in the bushes just now. Although she untied the belt and tied it to her thigh in time to prevent the poison from spreading, her entire right leg had completely lost all feeling. Around, more than a dozen spiders are rustling around.

It seems that this is the end, but unfortunately the bow given to Alkai has not been completed yet, Kenathes thought with some regret, and picked up the long knife to prepare for the final resistance.

Suddenly, the spider in front of her was shot through the head by a sudden arrow, leaving only the black arrow feather stuck outside, Kenathes looked in the direction of the arrow in surprise, but saw nothing, Only the next arrow came whistling and killed another spider.

The spiders that discovered the new threat all rushed in that direction. The forest spiders can climb trees, and they climb very quickly. Kenathes saw them climb a big tree, and two more were shot to death during the process, and then A vigorous figure jumped from the tip of a slender branch to another tree.

Kenaseth's heart suddenly rose, and she recognized that it was Arkay.

Now Evandel stays in the library every day and sees no one. Alkai, who has nothing to do anyway, often goes around the woods, hunting some game for entertainment.While chasing a fawn, his super-hearing ears picked up the sounds of screams and fighting, and he came this way.

Even if this wasn't his forest, Alkai didn't intend to stand by and watch the victims in the forest, but he didn't expect that the ones who were attacked were actually Kenaseth and Diss.

Kenathes yelled at him to run away when he saw him, but Arkai ignored him, grabbed the slender branch and swung himself to another tree. The spider was too big to be on the thinner branch. Moving, he turned around after standing still and shot another arrow, causing a spider to fall down.

But there were no other trees around to jump to, and in order not to be cornered, Alkai slid along the trunk to the ground, and the spiders immediately pounced on it.

Kenathes, who couldn't move his legs, resisted the bite of two spiders with a knife, and was very anxious about the battle situation on Alkai's side. Even experienced elf warriors could not cope with the siege of more than a dozen spiders, let alone Alkai. There was no time for the coming-of-age ceremony, so she took a look there, and just in time saw a spider pounced on Alkai. Alkai raised his bow to block the spider's jaw, and the wooden handle of the bow was snapped. Bitten into two pieces.

She wanted to rush desperately to protect her child, but her legs could not move, and a spider bit her left arm while she was distracted. She screamed in pain and stabbed the spider with her backhand. The head of the spider.

Alkai's bow was broken, so he had to take a few steps back and draw out the long knife. Ordinary chopping could not hurt the spider's flexible stomach and solid chest, but he specifically targeted the spider's long legs, and two or three legs were cut off. In the future, the spider would not be able to maintain its balance, so he would flexibly go around to the side or behind the spider to strike.

The venom was spreading on Kenathes's body, she couldn't move anymore, she could only watch Alkai kill those spiders one by one, and after shaking off the slime on the long knife in disgust, she moved towards the other Walking to the spider's nest in the distance, Kenathes desperately wanted to stop him and tell him the danger there, but her tongue was already stiff, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. She could only watch Alkai disappear behind her. In the line of sight, the anxious and tired elf general quickly lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she had returned to Silver Creek City. Evandel was using magic to glue her bitten wounds. Elf Princess Inelia came to observe and study spontaneously. Although Silver Creek City also has doctors and mages, But both experience and technology are far inferior to Avondel.

Kenathes tried to sit up as soon as she regained consciousness: "Alkay..."

"He's fine." Evandel knew what she was concerned about now, and pushed her back again, "He killed the spider mother and rescued everyone, and he only suffered some small scratches ,you do not need to worry."

"He's alone?" Even though Kenathes had seen with his own eyes how Alkai fought the giant spider with ease, he still found it a bit unbelievable.

Inelia said: "Diss was still awake when he was rescued. You should really listen to what he said after he came back. Alkai killed the spiders in the nest like chopping melons and vegetables by himself. The eyes of the weak look at them who cannot move."

"Really, he's already so strong..." Kenaseth looked out the window with complicated emotions, not knowing what he was thinking, Evandel finished the work at hand, and pulled the quilt for her: "She needs Rest, let's go out and talk."

Palos was waiting for Evandel at the door, but when he saw Princess Inelia coming out with Avandel, he did not disturb them and followed Avandel silently.

Inelia has long been used to turning a blind eye to the entourage, and just after leaving the ward, she couldn't help but said to the mage in a fierce tone: "Look at our young people, they are obviously the same age, they grew up outside Alkai is already so strong, but Diss and the others are just a group of carefree big children. Their father protects them too much. If one day we really encounter any crisis, can we count on such a group of grown-ups in the greenhouse? Will the big Jiaohua come to defend Silverstream City?"

"Didn't they usually have a good combat training?" Evandel asked.

"Why not, but there is a difference between the things on the training ground and the real battlefield after all. It doesn't even need to be in a real war. Just a few forest spiders almost cost our garrison generals."

Evandel looked back at the ward: "I believe she tried her best."

"I'm not blaming Kenathes. She is conscientious, dedicated, loyal and reliable. She is definitely a competent general of the garrison, but she has never experienced war." Inelia looked into the distance sadly, "Hide away from us It has been more than 500 years since the forest has no contact with the outside world. The outside world looks like an ancient legend to us. Why is it not the case when we look at the outside world? Most elves, including me, have seen a total of There are less than ten, and we have never seen dwarves, black-skinned people or other races. We don't know how the outside world is changing with each passing day. We just hide in the forest and cover our eyes, enjoying the moment of peace in front of us, old man They are addicted to the glory of the past, and young people are so arrogant that they don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth. I am afraid that if this continues, sooner or later we will really become a history that only exists in the pile of stories.”

"It can be seen that Her Royal Highness is dissatisfied with the status quo of the elves, but just complaining will not solve the problem." Evandel asked, "Does Your Highness have any thoughts?"

"I know what you talked to your father that day." Inelia looked back at Evandel, "I think this is an opportunity, whether it's joining the war or something else, it's time for us to get out of the forest and reconnect with the outside world world."

"His Majesty Arlande doesn't want to provoke war again, and his concerns are justified." Evandel sighed softly and did not continue.

"I know what he's afraid of, and I know it's dangerous to walk out of this forest. I may die, and many people I know may die, but those who survive will become good fighters who can deal with any situation. "Inelia said, "The prophecy of 'Eternal Night is Coming' is not empty words. We must prepare for the coming crisis. Even without this prophecy, the ever-growing human being is a threat that we cannot ignore. The last time The war in the past has calmed down because of our retreat, but where can we retreat next time? We not only need outstanding fighters who have experienced the baptism of war, but also urgently need a change. The greatest thing, that is already a thing of the past. The world is changing. Humans outside have invented the trebuchet and the siege crossbow, and will invent more things that can deal with the forest in the future. We can't just stick to the tradition like this. go down."

"Well said." Evandel looked at her appreciatively, "Then what is Her Royal Highness planning to do?"

Speaking of this, Inelia's expression became a little dejected: "It's a pity that I can't control the overall situation now, but I hope you understand that I support you, and my father will listen to my opinion to some extent. If there is a better opportunity, I will definitely persuade him to join the war."
