After nightfall, the mercenaries and guards on duty patrolled around the camp.Although no fire was lit, the moonlight was cold and bright enough for them to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Each group of patrolling people should be at least three or five together. The monsters in the inner circle are far stronger than those in the outer circle, and their lurking ability is stronger. If there is an attack, it is safer for several people to work together.

Xiu was also among the patrolling people. Because he was inexperienced, Abel had always been leading him.As for Luca and Eli, no one has ever thought of letting them participate in the night watch patrol, and neither of them mentioned it. It's not about taking care of the old and weak so that they can rest more, but that everyone can't entrust their safety to them.

So far, Luca and Eli are still outside the team, and have no intention of actively joining in.

Cody came to talk to Luca once, but after hearing that Luca said he didn't plan to stay here, he regretfully gave up persuading him.

He actually hopes to stay with his little friends, but Xiu and Kai seem to have other goals. Although he is disappointed, he will not block others' footsteps. He just hopes to see each other again after parting.

Xiu held his staff tightly and patrolled behind Abel. On the way, he met another group of three mercenaries patrolling. Abel poked the waist of one of them with a playful smile, almost making that person jump up.He is the kind of person who is very ticklish. Everyone in the group knows that every time there is a quarrel, they will use this weakness to bully him.

When he came back to his senses and wanted to fight back, Abel had already led Xiu away, but he couldn't help it because he was so angry. He couldn't neglect his patrol at night, so he could only mutter a few words angrily: "This brat, the hand Why are you so cheap!"

The mercenary who walked in the front laughed, "Who made your weakness obvious, like me, if there is no weakness, he wouldn't come to recruit me."

Another person laughed and said, "Just blow it up, pretend I don't know..."

"Hey, it's patrolling, be serious, don't chat!" Worried about being exposed to weaknesses and embarrassing things, the leader quickly stopped the topic.

A few people relaxed their minds with this little episode, and soon cheered up to be vigilant about their surroundings.

As Xiu was walking, he suddenly frowned, covered his nose, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Albert, do you smell anything bad?"

"Smell?" Abel asked around, "No, did someone fart?"

"No, the smell is very light, but it's very smelly, a little familiar..." He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized, "It's the smell of spider saliva that he smelled during the day."

Abel turned his head and looked cautious, "Are you sure?"

After distinguishing the smell in the air for a while, Xiu nodded affirmatively, "Sure, it's that smell, and it's a little heavier than before."

Abel still didn't smell the strange smell, but he knew that Xiu wouldn't make fun of it, so he asked seriously, "Can you point out which direction it is?"

Xiu hesitated for a while, then pointed to the dark woods on the left, "Probably this way."

Abel took out a metal cylinder from his arms, held the middle part and twisted it around, and then a dark green beam of light shot out from the metal cylinder. The light was very faint and not dazzling, but the penetration range was a full [-] meters.

He adjusted the distance and color of the beam of light, checked up, down, left, and right in the direction Xiu pointed out, and then a bright green spider silhouette was reflected on a certain tree.The spider was huge, and although the pattern was not clear, it was enough to verify what Xiu said.

Illuminated by the green beam of light, the spider moved its body as if feeling something, as if it wanted to attack directly, but soon it held back its movements, and continued to lie in ambush on the tree obediently.

Abel had a guess in his heart. He moved the beam of light and swept it towards other nearby trees.

The shadows of spiders were constantly reflected by the beam of light. Their camp was almost surrounded by hundreds of spiders, and they were gradually shrinking the circle.

Holding the metal cylinder with a sullen face, Abel said to Xiu in a low voice: "You go to inform the group leader and the others. Be gentle. If the camp suddenly becomes chaotic, the ghost-faced spiders will definitely attack immediately."

Xiu asked, "What about you?"

Abel said: "Another patrol line is close to their encirclement. The spider must be waiting for them to come to the door. I have to call them back."

After thinking about it, Xiu knew that his experience was not as good as Abel's, so he didn't force him to keep up with him, "Be careful yourself."

Abel patted him on the shoulder, "Go."

The leader Ulysses always stayed with the deputy leader Winters. Xiu woke them up in a low voice. After talking about the situation, Ulysses got up without saying a word, and disappeared after a few breaths.

Winters skillfully woke up his companions and methodically arranged them to prepare for defense and counterattack.

After the arrangements were made, he looked back at Xiu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the leader has gone to find Abel and the others, and everything will be fine."

Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head and asked, "Deputy regiment, what should I do?"

Winters said: "We will divide into two groups later, one group will be responsible for killing the ghost face spider on the outside, and the other group will protect the employer on the inside and be ready to replace the injured members on the outside at any time. You are inexperienced, stay on the inside long-range first Help, but if there are not enough people, you have to go up and help."

Xiu understood his situation clearly, and was not dissatisfied with his arrangement, "Okay!"

Almost at the same moment when the two finished speaking, the dark forest seemed to be boiling, and the dangerous "hissing" sound of spiders sounded from all around, as well as the "rustling" sound they made when they saw the trees.

The spider's night attack started, and the mercenaries responded quickly.

Most of the warriors took out their weapons to confront the one-man-tall Ghost-faced Spider head-on. The mages first built a defensive barrier, and then released fireballs, water arrows and other attacks from a distance.

Seven or eight metal cylinders were inserted around the camp, and the faint green light spread out, clearly reflecting the attacking ghost-faced spider.

Previously, the mercenary group encountered either a single powerful monster or a large group of low-level monsters in the periphery. Often a small number of people could solve it. This was the first time they encountered a group like the ghost-faced spider. Almost the entire mercenary group It all works.

Lu Kai raised his staff, and without chanting a spell, dexterous flame birds flew out one after another, and quietly burrowed into the abdomen of the Ghost Face Spider, which was the most vulnerable part of their body protection.

While killing the ghost-faced spider, he paid attention to Xiu's situation, and also paid attention to the strange weapons brought out by the mercenaries.

A mercenary dug out more than a dozen jet-black shiny polygonal metal blocks, and threw them into the sky. Those metal blocks rotated and distributed in various directions, and each corner emitted extremely thin rays of light to connect them, and then extended into a light shield.After a while, these light shields joined together one by one, and they were combined into a whole piece, firmly buckling the area of ​​Sophia's tent under the light shield.

The other seemed to be an archer. His bow was not unusual, but the arrows he used were thicker than ordinary.After hitting the ghost-faced spider, the arrow piercing into the ghost-faced spider's body unexpectedly exploded. Amidst the muffled sound, the inside of the ghost-faced spider's body was severely injured, and it died in a short while.

There was also a large black lacquered iron piece on his back. The iron piece first turned into armor to protect his chest and abdomen, and then seven or eight things that looked like spider legs popped out from both sides, and the tip Sharp as a needle.Encountering such a monster with the same eight legs, even the ghost-faced spider who came to attack was also stunned, as if wondering if the one in front of him was his own kind.

Lu Kai looked left and right, secretly speechless.

The process of each world is different, and the direction of development is also different, and different civilizations will naturally be generated.For example, among the civilizations of the magical world that he has seen, there are those who are still in the initial stage of ignorance, some who are magicians for all people, those who have great prosperity in magic, and some who have embarked on an alternative technology tree.

Lu Kai thought, no matter how many scenery he has seen, it is one-sided to speculate on a world with just a few words.Before seeing it with his own eyes, he never thought that the alchemy here had surpassed cold weapons and taken a big step towards hot weapons, and even had a shadow of a higher level.

In these weapons, he saw the embryonic form of technology. Compared with the steam magic world he had seen before, the technology here took a bigger step, and it was also bolder and more creative.

Seeing him staring at the weapon for a long time, Eli asked softly, "Are you interested?"

Lu Kai came back to his senses and said, "A little bit, how did these things come from?"

"Dwarves are a very creative race." Eli lowered his eyes slightly, "They can create the sharpest weapons in the world, they can make ordinary metals have incredible lethality, and they can even slaughter a whole world with their powerful weapons. city……"

Lu Kai frowned and looked over, Eli made him feel dangerous when he said this.

"So, these were made by dwarves?"

Eli shook his head, "No, it was made by humans. The alchemists got inspiration from the things created by the dwarves and created more novel things, including weapons and other things. Although they are not as talented as the dwarves, they are still considered. Some achievements."

Humans are also a powerful race, they have a strong ability to reproduce and learn, and they are equally creative, this is not surprising to Luke, what is strange to him is the subtle attitude shown by Eli.

His intuition told him not to delve into it, so Lu Kai didn't ask further, but Eli took the initiative to speak: "Kay, in fact, what you said to Xiu before was correct."

Lu Kai was a little dazed, he had said too much to Xiu, reasonable or unreasonable, who knows which one!

Eli smiled softly: "God of Light, he is indeed not a good person."

Lu Kai's eyes flashed slightly, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something, and stared at him with wide eyes, "Grass, how do you know?"

When he was whispering to Xiu, this old man had obviously not arrived in their village yet!

Eli smiled slightly, "I just... heard it."

"How did you hear that?" Lu Kai couldn't believe it, "You were obviously not there at that time!"

"Anyway, that's what I heard." Eli turned sideways slightly, and reminded: "Don't be too open and above board if you are lazy, at least hit a dozen ghost-faced spiders, and it's not good to keep standing and chatting with me."

"Don't try to change the subject." Lu Kai clung to him, "How on earth did you hear this... Did you lie on the window of my house? Or climbed on the roof? Could it be invisible?"

He couldn't figure it out. At that time, there was obviously no one around, and he still had this bit of perception. How did the dead old man know that he was speaking ill of the God of Light behind his back?

Damn, I almost forgot that this old man is still an envoy of the God of Light!

Wait, did he speak ill of the God of Light just now?

Hey, let me catch it!
