Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 76: 8-legged interrogator (below)
The latest website: Youni can't feel his cold sweat now, because his back is icy cold. What are you doing? This is a simple question, and most people can answer it naturally most of the time, but of course it does not include climbing a tree tens of meters high and sneaking along the spider web all the way.
Judging from the other party's words, it is relatively simple for the spider to guess the purpose of humans. It instinctively understands the purpose of Yoni's arrival here as hunting, which is reasonable for most creatures. If you follow this line of thought, you may be able to deal with spiders.
The question is, if he admits that he is foraging, what is he foraging for? Spiders? Or something else? The other party can speak human language, is it really feasible to perfunctory it?
The young apprentice didn't have the thinking speed of his teacher, so from the third perspective, he just froze in place, lost in confusion because of this simple question. No matter how you think about this situation, it seems suspicious. The forward spider silently retreated a little, its hind legs slightly bent, showing a posture ready to pounce.
Judging from the structure of its legs, its jumping ability is definitely not bad, and it is likely to rely on physical ability to attack its prey and then inject venom.
"Answer, creatures with four limbs." The spider's voice did not imply impatience or threat, but it could be matched with the ready-to-go movement. If Youni can't give a satisfactory reply immediately, I'm afraid a battle will end soon. inevitable.
"Yes, yes, I'm here to find something to eat. But not to eat directly." Youni was quick to think, and made up a half-truth and half-false story in his mind, and hurriedly responded to the other party. It can be seen that this spider is still very curious about outsiders, otherwise it can attack first.
"Food that is not eaten directly? Explain." The six eyes reflect different images of Youni, with subtle differences in angles. The four eyes are crossed together, and the mouthparts like decorative feathers are slightly opened, revealing a little inside. Crushed fangs.
The apprentice showed a flustered smirk, and waved his hand, "Ah, that's right, I want to fish in the nearby lake, but I don't have such skills, and there are no materials suitable for weaving fishing nets around. I saw this by accident Afterwards, I thought that the person who could create such a magnificent tree palace must be very good at weaving, so I wanted to come here to see if I could get some help."
This is a lie, especially the compliment part. Although ordinary people often admire the exquisiteness of spider webs when they see them, they will no longer find it interesting after seeing the size of a spider web, let alone the endless spider silk world.
But just like spiders can't bring emotion into language, they also can't hear the emotion in human speech. The tone of Youni's speech is automatically ignored, leaving only the content of the text. Hearing this, the spider's hind legs relaxed a little, it crawled a few steps sideways, and stared at the apprentice from a different angle.
"Fishing net? What is that? Our master weavers did not mention this net." Very informative. First of all, spiders don't understand what fishing nets are. That's okay. Most spiders don't live in water, and a few of them can't amphibious on trees. So the spiders here should all belong to the type of living in the forest. Yes Bodies of water and fishing cannot be taken for granted.
Secondly, there is the title of weaving master, which probably means that spiders have really built their own social relationships, and even determined the status distinction with titles. But it's a pity that Youni is not a cheese, he is not sensitive enough, or not capable enough to grasp the key points of the problem at once. So after hearing this sentence, my first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, because the other party did not raise any doubts.
"Strictly speaking it's not the same as your net, it's a, um, tool to get things out of the water. So it needs to be strong enough, and have a mesh that's about the same size, so it can drain the water without putting the fish in Walk."
Yoni waved his arms, abstractly describing what he understood as a fishing net. As a person who grew up in Runliu, he has naturally seen fishing nets. There are always people lowering the nets near the water surface, but they are not used for fishing. They call this behavior gold panning, hoping to catch fish from the rapid water. Produce something of value.
"A web in water? Well, that might make sense. Four-limbed creature, do you think our web can be used in water?" The spider's question was a little strange, as if it didn't like the relationship between water and the web.
Youni now clearly felt that he and the other party were not discussing one thing, but he couldn't immediately understand the other party's thinking, so he could only respond with a little confidence, "I think it's possible. The net here blocked the previous rainwater, isn't it?"
In the next second, six pitch-black eyes appeared in front of Youni. The apprentice's body began to turn into a beast almost uncontrollably, but he held back, because although the opponent suddenly shortened the distance, he did not attack.
The teacher said that the party that can tolerate in the communication can occupy more possibilities, which may not be an advantage, and sometimes even fall into a disadvantage in the negotiation in order to keep the possibility. However, if the possibility is given up in order to strive for the result of victory or defeat, communication will become meaningless quarrels or intriguing word games.
"Limb creature, you misunderstood something. But your purpose is very interesting, maybe you can give us some help. This will prevent you from becoming food."
"Then I will be very happy." The apprentice replied in a deep voice, he had no clue about the help the other party said in his heart. To be honest, his legs have already started to tremble. It takes a lot of courage for anyone to see the body structure of giant spiders up close.
There is no way, human beings have incorporated some things that should be feared into their instincts in the long process of existence. People will be afraid when they see things with many feet, and they will be afraid when they see things without feet. These are the process of long-term survival accumulated previous experience.
The giant spider shook its body, and tapped its two forefeet on the web a few times, and the surrounding little spiders left quickly and disappeared without a trace. The big spider turned sideways and slightly lowered the two legs facing Yoni, "Climb on my back, creature with four limbs. I'm going to take you to see the master weaver."
In fact, Youni really wanted to tell the other party that there was no need to meet the so-called master, he just wanted some spider silk, and he would go back when he got it. But he also knew that it was impossible, and the current situation did not allow him to refuse.
The apprentice swallowed, and reached out to touch the two lowered long legs, trying to get used to the furry touch. Those hairs are completely different from the hairs on mammals. Although dense, they are not soft at all. He held his breath and forced himself to climb up.
"Okay, let's go."
