Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

The bone, less than 1.4 meters in length, lay quietly on the grassy ground, not far from the mouth of the spider silk hole.

Qiao Yi reached out to touch the shotgun again, boldly pulled Lancaster and walked over.

The bones still bear traces of what has been corroded.

The storm collar has not lost a child in recent years, Qiao Yi knows this very well.

With a total population of just over [-], Storm Collar can spread the word about any trivial matter, let alone such a big event as the loss of a child.

Is it an elf?

As soon as Joe turned his head, he saw Lancaster who also turned his head to look at him.

Apparently, not elves either.

A strange unknown corpse.

Qiao Yi felt that things were getting a little out of control.

"My lord, are you still going in?"

Bill used a branch to pull the dry grass aside to cover the poor skeleton, and asked.

Qiao Yi looked at the dark hole and gritted his teeth: "Go in!"

The spider was limping, and there were many of them, and they still had shotguns in their hands, so they should be capable of fighting.

If the problem of spiders is not solved, they will never be able to enter the mountain with peace of mind.

Not long after they entered the woods.

"Whoa-"

The grass not far from the entrance of the cave swayed, and a pair of eyes looked in the direction of the entrance of the cave, and then a short but nimble figure retreated quietly, climbed down the low slope, and jumped into the depths of the jungle.

The two Hexiu who fell behind the team turned their heads sensitively.

"Huh?" (Did you hear anything just now?)

"Hey? Hey~" (Over there? Rabbit.)

"Whew." (Okay.)

……

The spider silk cave was very dark, and a group of people huddled together, trying to avoid touching those spider webs.

It was quiet in the dark, only the sound of footsteps, people's breathing, and the sound of burning torches could be heard.

Qiao carefully glanced at the large and small spider webs hanging above his head and the fist-sized spiders entangled on them, and felt that the hairs all over his body were blown up.

If this thing falls from his hands, Qiao Yi can jump into a laser rain on the spot.

On the ground, dark green liquid dripped and spread inward. The damp and decaying smell irritated everyone's nostrils, and it also carried a bit of rancid smell.

Lancaster in front had already drawn his bowstring, watching around vigilantly.

A group of people cautiously explored the interior.

Walking through the dark forest, you can see a mountain wall.

Under the moonlight, from a distance, Qiao Yi saw the bowl-shaped nest made of white spider silk on the mountain wall.

In the nest, there is a huge spider about three meters long.

Under the nest, there are large and small cocoons hanging.

"It's Barton!"

Bill groaned softly.

In one of the cocoons, Barton was struggling to cut open the cocoon skin wrapped around his body with a knife, half of his body had already been struggled out.

"Hiss—"

The flames and cries here drew the attention of the killer spiders, who were resting in their lair above.

"It's here!!"

Huge spiders scrambled down the mountain face, green slime dripping from their wounded legs, and their sharp, sickle-like mouthparts seemed to glow coldly.

"Fire arrows!"

Joe yelled.

The flaming arrow flew out, and the Killer Spider took a few steps back in fear.

effective!

Qiao Yi's eyes lit up.

The fire that fell on the ground ignited the dead grass and burned it, and soon a line of fire stretched out.

The killer spider was driven back by the flaming arrows, wandering back and forth on the mountain wall, making a "hissing" sound.

"Its weak point is the red spot on the belly—"

Barton struggled out of the cocoon, fell to the ground and rolled twice, got up and shouted loudly.

The killer spider couldn't help but find Barton who was fleeing, and angrily screamed and crawled over.

"Barton, watch out behind you!!"

Seeing that the killer spider was only four or five meters away from Barton, its sharp mouthparts were about to cut into Barton.

In desperation, Joe picked up the shotgun.

"boom--"

There was a loud noise with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and everyone was startled.

And almost at the moment when the gunshot rang, four arrows flew out from Lancaster's bowstring beside Joe, and precisely hit the spider's eyes and two compound eyes.

This was the only place on his hard carapace-covered body that was easily pierced.

Numerous vines grew on the ground and entwined themselves, trapping the spider in place.

"Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-!!

But seeing the pierced spider propped up its legs, the vines on its body were being pulled off abruptly one by one!

As for Qiao Yi's bullet...

Missed.

In addition to frightening the spider to buy time for Lancaster's arrows and vines, it hit the mountain wall behind with incomparable precision.

"Crash-"

A small piece of gravel fell from where Joe Yi hit, and fell on the head of Barton, who was also stunned by the loud noise.

"What are you doing in a daze! Run—"

With a flushed face, Joe yelled, unbolted the gun, loaded it, and tried to aim again.

However, the spider has completely broken free from the vines.

Its hatred value has been pulled to full.

In a blink of an eye, Qiao Yi saw the giant spider hissing, even ignoring the fire on the ground and rushing towards the crowd.

"boom--"

Another shot.

The shot hit the spider's left mouthpart.

The sickle-shaped mouthparts that were tens of centimeters long snapped off, and the spider's upper body was pushed to the side by the impact.

Qiao Yi was also pushed back half a step by the huge recoil.

The crowd cheered.

"Good fight!"

Qiao Yi smiled awkwardly.

...Actually, he just wanted to make a hole in the spider's forehead.

"Cut legs! Cut legs!"

Relieved, Barton yelled, and turned his head, only to find that Lancaster had already led a group of elves to rush up.

The nimble elves jumped repeatedly on the ground, avoiding the spider's attack and flying spider silk, constantly using arrows to interfere with the killer spider's attention.

The leaders of Stormland took up their knives and also joined the ranks of counterattack.

But the spider's carapace is too hard, their knives cut on the spider's body and legs, they can only make a "bang bang" impact, but instead pull up the spider's hatred value.

Some leaders were knocked into the air, and others were scratched by angry spiders with their mouthparts.

Joe held the gun, but dared not pull the trigger.

He was afraid that if he missed his aim, he would accidentally injure his own people.

There was a brief stalemate in the battle, and neither side could do anything to the other.

Until Lancaster put down his bow, he drew a long sword with a cold light from behind.

The green vines grew out of the ground again, wrapping around the spider's legs, and the sword light cut straight through like an arc of moonlight.

"Crack-"

One leg was severed.

The body of the spider with only two legs on the left is obviously skewed.

The spider turned around, snapped the vine, and slammed into Lancaster with its huge body.

"Bang bang—"

Qiao Yi fired two shots again.

The bullet finally exploded on the spider's body smoothly, and the green blood splashed out with the broken armor.

"Boo————"

There were two more sword lights.

Lancaster took advantage of the victory and pursued, and the other two left legs of the spider were also cut off.

The spider, which had lost most of its mobility, sprayed spider silk to move its body, and its mouthparts drew deep marks on the ground.

But this can only be incompetent rage.

With Stormwind's current knife-making technology, it is difficult for the blade to cut through the hard carapace on the back.

So they used knives as crowbars and turned the spider's body over.

The four-legged spider frantically waved its remaining four legs, but it was useless.

Barton picked up his knife and stabbed hard into the triangular red spot on the spider's abdomen.

"hiss--"

The spider struggled for a moment and didn't move.

Qiao Yi finally let go of his clenched heart, and sat on the spot holding the shotgun, watching the leaders and elves rush to open those cocoons to save people.

Lancaster was beside Joe Yi, wiping his sword, his eyes swept over the shotgun in Joe Yi's hand, but he didn't ask anything.

The leaders and elves who were eager to save people were very fast, and they pulled out the unconscious person who was trapped in the cocoon in a short time.

Fortunately, they are still alive.

Only then did Qiao Yi realize that the clothes on these people had traces of corrosion to varying degrees.

Those spider silks are corrosive.

Obviously, if they were not found, sooner or later they would be drunk by the killer spider as a nutrient solution, turning into the skeleton outside.

"My lord! There seems to be a child inside!"

Bill's voice came over.

Joe frowned, and looked at Lancaster.

Another kid?

Lancaster: "Go and see."

Joe nodded.

In the smaller cocoon that had been partly cut, a pair of lower legs had already been peeled off.

Obviously not an adult's calf.

Continue to peel off, and the owner of the calf reveals the whole picture.

Joe was stunned.

Lancaster stared.

The people behind let out a soft cry.

Judging from his height of just over 1.4 meters, this guy should be a child.

but,

this child,

he,

With reddish brown hair and reddish brown,

bearded.

? ? ? ? ?

"...are you still alive?" Qiao Yi asked.

"Alive."

"..." After pondering for a while, Qiao Yi's eyes fell on the "child" with a big beard in a fur coat, and he raised his forehead: "Take it back first."

A leader emerged from the lair, holding out a cocoon the size of a basketball wrapped in spider silk.

Subconsciously, Joe's hair stood on end, he hugged Lancaster's arm, and pointed at the man: "What are you holding in your hand?...Don't come here, I'm warning you!"

Lancaster: "Spider egg sac."

The leader just now shook the small basketball in his hand excitedly: "That's right! Lord, look, there are many little spiders in here~"

Joe One: "..."

Qiao Yi: "...Shut up, you!! Are you a pervert! You're going to lose your face!

[Ding—abnormal fluctuations detected!Do you want to collect and make illustrated books? ] Qiao Yi calmed down for a moment, pointed to the murderous spider that died tragically, and asked in his consciousness: Will this thing grow up to become that dead thing on the ground?

【Yes. 】

Joe One: Oh.

Joe One: "Ignite it, kill it. Now, immediately."

Holding a small basketball, he pulled a group of curious citizens and elves, and the leader who was watching the spider cub said, "...Oh."

[Collecting this illustrated book can get a lottery and life rewards, are you sure you don't think about it anymore?Note: Dead monsters cannot be used to make illustrations. 】Joe One: Shut up, kill me.

Am I crazy to leave this thing to feed tigers?

Wait for them to grow up before harvesting a wave of heads?

That killer spider suddenly hunted on such a large scale, probably because of these little cubs!

Directly shielding the system that was still beeping non-stop, Qiao Yi set a fire under the spider's nest and watched it burn into a big torch.

After a while, the flames gradually extinguished, and the spider's nest was completely burned out, leaving only blackened traces on the stone wall.

A group of people headed home.

After fighting side by side, the relationship between the elves and the people is obviously not as strange as when they came here.

Whispered conversations with each other emerged in the line.

The citizens also found that these elves were not as difficult to get along with as the rumors said.

Most of them are just not very good at words.

"Crack clap-"

The sound of eating shortbread was heard again in the queue.

As soon as Joe followed the sound, he saw that the elf girl was holding the scones that Bill had given again, and she was gnawing like a hamster.

Four eyes facing each other.

The girl didn't swallow it in one gulp this time like last time.

She raised her head and whispered cautiously: "... What, what's the matter? Did you bother you? Then I, then I will try to keep my voice quiet..."

There was good-natured laughter from the crowd.

Qiao Yi: "...it's okay, let's eat."

Bill took out his heavy dry food bag: "Not enough and more."

The girl looked at the cake in her hand, then at Bill's dry food bag, smiled shyly, and blushed with a little baby fat on her face: "...Thank you."

As soon as Joe turned his head and returned to Lancaster, Lancaster naturally held Qiao Yi's hand.

"The girl is quite cute." Looking at the road ahead, Qiao Yi asked casually, "What's her name?"

He had already seen that Bill might not be interested in other girls, so he wandered around her all the way.

"..." Lancaster didn't speak, but just glanced at Joe faintly.

Instinctively feeling that this look was so dangerous, Qiao Yi's tone suddenly faltered: "...why, what's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have suddenly realized that he leaned forward again, raised the corners of his lips and whispered to Lancaster's ear: "Oh? Lando, are you jealous?"

"……No."

Lancaster turned his head and pushed Qiao Yi's head away.

"Really? I don't believe it." The tone started to be rough.

"If you say no, you don't have it."

"Then why are you blushing?"

"..."

Not far away, Bill asked the girl the same thing: "Hey, what's your name?"

After the elves were quiet, the girl slowly blushed, pushed Bill away and ran away: "Rogue!"

Bill: "???"

Lancaster coughed lightly, and explained to Qiao Yi, who was also confused: "In the Jalan Nord elves, directly asking or telling the opposite sex your name, especially your nickname, has some special meaning... .”

Qiao Yi narrowed his eyes and thought about it carefully.

Well, "Lando" should be Lancaster's nickname.

And it was this person who took the initiative to tell himself on a dark and windy night?

"Lando." Joe Yi wrapped his arms around Lancaster's neck.

... Then he realized that he was too short, and it was uncomfortable to hold him like this.

So Joe stood on tiptoe and leaned into Lancaster's ear: "Lando, don't you already like me?"

"..."

Lancaster didn't speak, but his ears were slowly turning red.

"Huh? Talk to me, Lando." Joe pressed against Lancaster's ear and blew meanly.

"...Don't make trouble, Qiao Yi."

Lancaster sighed, pulled Qiao Yi's arm down, held Qiao Yi's hand, and interlocked his fingers.

After a long while, Qiao Yi heard Lancaster's soft voice: "Yes. I like you."

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?" Qiao Yi looked at Lancaster's face that was slowly flushing, and smiled with his eyes bent.

"... No more." Lancaster turned his head away to avoid Qiao Yi's gaze, and looked elsewhere.

"Ok."

"If you don't say it, then I'll say it." Joe walked around to Lancaster and kissed Lancaster gently on the cheek: "I like you too."

"..." Lancaster froze for a moment, his ears slowly turned into boiled shrimp, and he held Qiao Yi's hand tightly: "...um."

"...Well, excuse me."

Suddenly, an inappropriate voice came from the side.

Bang, all the pink bubbles burst on the spot.

Grinding his teeth, Qiao looked at the iron-faced Barton, who was standing there with a look of thirst for knowledge, without any embarrassment: "Say."

"My lord, I want to ask. The weapon that made a loud noise that you attacked the spider at that time... what is it?"

The crowd fell silent, and everyone raised their ears to look here quietly.

Obviously they have been curious for a long time, but they didn't dare to ask.

Joe groaned for a moment.

...emmmmm, how to explain it?

His eyes fell on the bearded kid.

Clearing his throat, Joe half-closed his eyes and began to lie:

"Have you heard... the gift from the lost dwarf kingdom to the former Stuart king?"

The author has something to say: to sign in for online classes, the teacher threw a gesture to sign in and ran away.

But here comes the problem, he didn't tell us what gesture :)

Teacher, come back!

Did you forget something? ? ?

The concubine really can't guess
