Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 25

Tick, tick.

Green liquid dripped from the cave, forming small puddles on the ground. Every drop would splash high and make a crisp sound.

If you look up at the dripping green liquid, you will find a black spider hanging limply on the high dome, with red blood thorns piercing it and fixing it on top.

Those green things are its blood. Spider blood slid down the red spikes and fell to the bottom.

Such things have spread all over the main film area. Countless spider corpses are either abandoned randomly or nailed to the rock wall. The bright green blood is like bloody paint, smearing the masterpiece called hell on the canvas.

This cave is full of corpses, like a doomsday natural disaster passing through.

But the initiators of all this didn't bother to take a look, all their attention was focused on the front.

"Oh, you said they won't be in there," Lowenstein swallowed, with a hint of despair in his voice.

"I didn't know." Ennardez slapped himself on the forehead and sighed deeply: "Ancestor, this joke has gone too far."

It was a carpet composed of white silk threads, covering the entire front area. In the loose spider web, a black figure appeared.

This kind of spider web covers the ground, and there are occasional spike-shaped rocks that stand up. Spider silk intersects in such a place to form a complex web, and it is easy to imagine the consequences of stepping into it.

"Are these fruits their main food?" Lowenstein looked at the crystal fruits that could be seen everywhere on the spider web: "They look quite delicious."

"There is no time to stop and eat fruit now." Enardez rubbed his temples: "Oh, maybe we should hurry up, I may need to add some blood."

"Then drink some of mine." Lowenstein pulled down his collar: "Don't worry, I'm highly resistant to anesthesia and won't faint."

"But your blood is bitter and smelly." Enardez said helplessly: "Why do you want to soak yourself in the dark element spring? Your blood tastes worse than the blood of orcs."

"Damn, you are still picky and don't plan to save your daughter." Lowenstein took out the dried fruit from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth: "I still have to get Oyue back."

Ennardez had no choice but to sigh, and then went over to bite his neck. Red blood flowed into his body from his fangs, and he immediately felt much better.

Lowenstein's expression remained unchanged, and he even took a few more bites of dried fruit. His body has been eroded by dark elements to gain higher physical strength and elemental affinity. The price he paid was his own life.

However, elves have a lifespan of three hundred years, and they won't be able to notice it even if it's a few decades shorter.

After a brief supply of supplies, they jumped off the rock.

Walking in front was Lowenstein. His feet were covered with a black protective layer. On the ground he stepped on, the sticky secretions were corrupted and turned into black mud on the ground.

Enardez walked behind, and the secretions on the ground were no longer sticky after being stepped on by Lowenstein.

Lowenstein drew his dagger from his waist and walked in front. He easily split open the spider webs blocking the road.

His sword shone with cold light, and the sword was full of empty grooves. This is because it increases the surface area of ​​the sword, allowing more space for engraving and enchanting.

The disadvantage of this is that the sword is not as strong as a solid one and can easily deform or break. But the metal of this sword is made of mithril, which can only be tempered by the dwarves. The mithril itself has both toughness and solidity and is strong enough. The sword cannot be considered vulnerable unless the enemy is equipped as well or better than it is.

Obviously, those spiders just have a harder carapace than other things. To Mithril, this kind of carapace is like tofu compared to an iron sword.

Spider webs are sticky, but they don't stick to swords, and foreign matter hardly sticks to the treated surface.

Ennardez's eyes flashed with red light, and he slowly looked around.

This is a spell that only vampires can learn, called Life Sight. Able to see all living things within a certain range while blocking out all non-living matter. Like these nets, or rocks. The creature appeared in his sight as a red shadow.

They just moved forward like this, regardless of whether something dangerous would suddenly emerge from the spider webs and attack them.

I don’t know how long I walked, but there were still only the sounds of footsteps and the sound of spider webs being cut in the air.

"Have you found them?" Lowenstein turned around and asked.

"No." There was a trace of cold sweat on Ennardez's forehead: "This place is so big that I can sense all life within three hundred meters. So I can be sure that there is no life within three hundred meters here."

"Then let's walk further in." Lowenstein was a little upset. This feeling of going in circles made him very unhappy.

Then, a white spider suddenly jumped out of the spider web in front of him. It opened its slender, hard and sharp claws, trying to penetrate the elf in front of it.

Compared with its black compatriots, it is almost undetectable among the white spider webs. The thick hard shell blocks most detection magic, and the slender and sharp legs are more threatening.

After a moment, it was split open, and green blood mixed with the organs in the body flowed everywhere.

Lowenstein didn't need to find out in advance, he just felt that there was something there. So he subconsciously swung his sword, and when he realized what he was about to strike, there was already a disgusting corpse on the ground.

"Why don't you give me a heads up?" Lowenstein exhaled: "If I hadn't reacted, I would be dead by now."

"If you can be haunted to death by something like that, don't tell the guys in hell that you know me. It's a shame." Ennardez said casually: "It's not an option for us to go like this. I want to launch a wider search and say We may not be able to find them. Please help me keep an eye on my surroundings during this time."

He finally felt that going this way was not an option and needed a more efficient way to solve this embarrassing situation.

"Ha" Lowenstein raised his eyebrows at him: "It's very safe around here."

"There are about a few hundred of the things you just chopped down around here, and they are coming here now." Enardez's tone seemed to say that there were hundreds of little bugs crawling over.

Sure enough, as he finished speaking, the spider webs that had been silent around him began to shake slightly. From the looks of it, you can tell that those big bugs are crawling back and forth inside, like invisible evil spirits.

"I really want to chop you right now." Lowenstein gritted his teeth and gave Ennardez a "sincere" smile: "Isn't this amount a bit too much?"

Even so, he turned around and put on his cloak.

"No matter how many more, they are just lowly reptiles." Enardez squatted down, took out a dagger and cut his wrist open, but no blood spurted out, but a drop of dark red blood was squeezed out like toothpaste: "This is not a big problem for you, right? Do you want me to make two blood shadow puppets to help you?"

His blood drops were like a strange dye, turning into countless tiny red lines the moment they hit the ground. These red lines were intertwined to form a huge magic circle. The scarlet lines look particularly scary.

"Are you looking down on me?" Lowenstein raised his eyebrows: "You are right, they are just reptiles."

After finishing speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were as dark as dead water. The blood vessels around the corners of the eyes have all turned black, and the lines gradually spread from the eyes downwards, all the way to the whole body through the neck.

Lowenstein took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The dark elements instantly condensed into entities around him. This entity composed of pure elements surrounded his body, like armor surrounding him, so black that no light could shine through.

He waved his hands forward as if angry, and a huge amount of dark elements spread around him like a wave.

Whenever the dark element touches those white and sticky spider webs, it seems to be some kind of poison with a corrosive effect. White smoke emitted in an instant, and the decay was so fast that it was difficult to detect. When the black wave hits the place, it is like the underworld where death has walked, and the soil is black, like a land filled with sewage.

No trace of life can be seen on this kind of land, just like the land that was corrupted by various chaotic elements during ancient wars, leaving no life behind.

Suddenly the spider web shook violently, as if something was running wildly inside.

They are running away, trying to escape from that black wave as much as possible, because the price of being contaminated with that kind of thing is death. There is really no suspense about this. The dangerous atmosphere is everywhere here, reminding them all the time. How dangerous is that thing?

The spiders finally realized that they were not hunters this time. The demon standing there was a being that they could not compete with. Anyone who challenged that kind of thing would not have a good brain. Only those who were desperate or wanted to die could. Would do such a stupid thing.

At this time, you shouldn't come here to die. Instead, you should stay as far away from that thing as possible, the further away the better.

The black airflow slowly caressed the ground, with them as the center, a large blank area was cleared, and the white spider silk curled up to resemble burnt kraft paper, leaving only black ashes.

"Hey, it's pretty good." Ennardez chuckled: "I didn't expect to scare them away right away."

"Stop hurting me, hurry up." Lowenstein sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and the black lines on his body slowly faded: "Speaking of which, why is there such obvious artificial traces here? "

"I think it should be a place like ruins. After we find them, we can wander around and maybe we can find something good." Enardez said, "Maybe we can find something good."

"Why are you becoming more and more like a tourist?" Lowenstein roared: "We still don't know the location of those two little guys. If we encounter any danger..."

"Don't worry, they are fine." Enardez interrupted: "If there is no problem, they should have found a relatively safe place to rest. I can feel that Nasha's life is very healthy. She is doing well now."

"That's only now." Lowenstein frowned: "Didn't you find it?"

"We roughly know the location. In that direction, we went the wrong way." Enardez pointed in one direction: "We happened to go the opposite way to them."

"Why didn't you use this ability earlier?" Lowenstein frowned: "If you did this from the beginning, wouldn't you have a lot of time left?"

"Because I wasn't sure if they were safe at that time." Enardez shrugged: "Because this spell will completely expose the positions of Nasha and me. You can simply feel the flow of elements around you. Do you feel it? The fluctuations of the elements centered on me are extremely obvious.”

"I really didn't notice it if you didn't tell me." Lowenstein thought for a while: "So you were worried that this would put them in danger."

"Well, so when I felt her resting, I knew they had found a relatively safe place." Enardez adjusted the collar of his windbreaker: "Get ready, something big is coming. ”

"Oh, is it because you exposed your position?" Lowenstein was not worried: "Then their positions were exposed because of this. Let's get rid of this trouble quickly and catch those two brats."

The ground shook slightly, and there seemed to be something like a hill in the spider web in the distance moving towards here.

Lowenstein could see a huge black shadow moving slowly in the distance. He thought that thing was some kind of huge rock, but it seemed that it was not an ordinary thing like a rock.

Then, a slight wind came over. It was very rare. This kind of wind in the cave was difficult to form. It was mostly the air waves stirred up by the huge turning body when something moved.

The gravel on the ground shook slightly, as if thousands of troops were coming.

Scattered crawling sounds slowly came from the surroundings. I don't know how many spiders were gathering here, as if they were going to be buried here, and they seemed to be rising up to fight against the disaster of annihilation.

"To be honest, there are really a lot of bugs here." Lowenstein shrugged: "It seems like this is a good hatchery."

"It's dark and humid here, and there's plenty of food. I would choose to establish a stronghold in a place like this." Enardez said: "What should I do?"

"What else can we do?" Loewenstein rolled his eyes: "You deal with the small ones, leave the big ones to me. We are all here, so let's solve this problem and leave quietly."
