Mother of Spiders ejected her chelicerae from the inside out and swept towards Brando's back. Like a sharp scimitar, it caused the air to vibrate as it waved, forming a transparent belt of light in the dark underground.
Brando heard a scream similar to an explosion, and the scream seemed to have reached his back as soon as it came out. This was the power from the most powerful creature. At that moment, several attack patterns of Anarons' front chelicerae emerged in Brando's mind one by one. At that critical moment, he pushed Her Royal Highness forward and put Halran Gaia on his back.
There was a loud bang that made one's teeth ache. Although Brando couldn't see it, he could feel the scene of Halran Gaia's body bending due to excessive force. The unresolvable force was transmitted to him through it, and he felt a huge force coming from behind and sending him flying.
The distance between the cliff in front of him and him seemed to be pulled closer.
But Brando knew that it was an illusion, and that he was flying over the cliff and over the abyss. Fortunately, the Will attribute strengthened the nerve's endurance, otherwise, he would have triggered his body's protective mechanism and fainted from the pain. Brando didn't want to fall into the abyss when he lost consciousness.
He shot forward like a cannonball, his body tumbling in mid-air, although the pain was like a file rubbing against his nerves. But he still gritted his teeth and inserted Halran Gaia into the ground of the cave.
With the strength of Elemental Awakening, Halran Gaia's blade directly pierced more than a foot into the rock, and a golden spark immediately appeared in the darkness.
Brando's momentum was reduced, but the Halran Gaia in his hand still cut through the entire cliff like cutting tofu. While drawing a deep incision on the ground, he still 'stubbornly' approached the edge of the cliff.
All this happened in less than a tenth of the blink of an eye, as if the last breath was not over, Brando had already flown out of the cliff. He brought out a large piece of rock with him, and his momentum finally came to a stop.
Brando somersaulted in the air and raised his right hand with the Ring of the Wind Empress. He fired a wind bullet at the cliff on the other side. The airflow converged on Brando's ring in an instant, and then it slammed into the rock on the other side. The huge gray rock was smashed into pieces, and the huge reaction force finally made Brando stop in the air.
He raised his head.
The sound of the wind above his head brought another sharp whistle. That was the Mother of Spiders' right front chelicerae. After her left limb swept out, the remaining six legs supported her huge body. She raised her right limb and immediately stabbed towards Brando who was in mid-air.
In the eyes of outsiders, even the Silver-ranked Knight, the two attacks seemed to have happened at the same time. However, only Brando knew that it was actually one from the front and one from the back. This was the cunning creature's most common attack.
If the first strike didn't kill the target, then the second strike would be perfect. But this time, no one came to distract him. Brando stared at the sickle-like claw that was getting closer and closer in his vision.
But he knew that this was actually futile. The speed was too fast, even exceeding his level of 'in-depth analysis.'
What really worked was the Dark Perception attribute he obtained from Firefly. The magic flowing in Anaron's body was like a spark in the darkness. It came close to him in an instant.
This was the moment.
Brando only had this one chance. He reached out and grabbed the sharp tip of the Mother of Spiders' right front chelicerae, and then his whole body was dragged back.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down in his perception. He saw himself being dragged back into the cliff by the other's retracted chelicerae, and then approaching the rock wall in a beautiful arc. He could almost see the crack that was getting closer and closer, and the faces of the Knight.
They seemed to have just reacted, and didn't even have time to exclaim. Brando only saw some of them with their mouths wide open.
Then he calculated the distance, released his hand, and the crack was in front of him.
It was a perfect landing. His tense nerves relaxed. Then, like a cannonball, he flew in a beautiful arc and crashed into the rock wall with a bang.
"Damn it, ah …" Brando let out an extremely painful scream. It was as if he never dreamed that he would make a mistake at the last moment. In any case, this mistake was enough for him to remember. The rock underground was really hard, and it was really scary.
But he didn't have time to be upset, and immediately shouted desperately, "Drag me in!" Fortunately, the others didn't notice the young lord's little mistake. After all, it was already a great thing to be able to escape from the mouth of the terrible monster.
The Knights of Lantonaran seemed to wake up from a dream, and the three Knights standing at the front of the crack immediately rushed out and dragged him back. Brando was not far away at that time, and it was only a difference of one or two meters. The Knights stretched out half of their bodies and dragged him back.
On the other side, Her Royal Highness had been pushed to Babasha's feet by Brando. The old witch hurriedly helped her and Sugar Pot into the crack. It had to be said that the old witch looked dry and thin, but she still had some strength. "Thank you," Gryphine replied weakly. Her shoulder was a shocking blood-red, and the large amount of blood loss made her already pale face even paler. But until this time, she still managed to show the proper etiquette of a nobleman, or the arrogance of a nobleman.
Brando or others may find it difficult to understand what a noble who valued face more than life was made of, but for a princess who had been taught such a lesson since childhood, some values were natural.
But for the elder princess, perhaps there was one more thing to add, and that was her stubbornness.
When the princess saw Brando lying on the ground covered in blood, she was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Brando?"
"I'm fine." Brando did not lie. In fact, most of the injuries on his body were scrapes from hitting the rock wall head-on at the end. He just looked like a mess. Compared to him, Princess Gryphine's injuries were much more serious. But Brando did not have time to talk nonsense, because Mother of Spiders poked her head into the crack again, trying to reach in with two front claws to drag them out.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly retreated back into the crevice. Mother of Spiders was only a step away from the Knight outside. She could not help but scream angrily. The sound was sharp and harsh, like a sharp weapon cutting through glass. It was really creepy. But only Brando knew that Mother of Spiders would never be able to come in here, but it was not safe here. He ordered, "Don't stop, keep retreating. There are many of her children here. She will find a way to let them come in and kill us."
Everyone was already frightened by Anarthon. When they heard that there were small spiders, they did not dare to stop and hurriedly continued to move deeper into the crack. Brando was helped forward by a Knight. After resting for a while, he finally caught his breath. He then took out the holy water and distributed it to the injured Knights and Her Royal Highness. The power of the holy water was naturally needless to say. After a while, everyone looked at him with a little curiosity mixed with awe.
In their eyes, Brendel was a young lord who could do anything, and there was nothing he couldn't do. Not only could he defeat the Holy Cathedral of Fire, but he could also escape from the terrible monsters. He seemed to have endless treasures on him, and there was no situation that could baffle him. Such a person might not even exist in long poems and legends.
Even the Knights could not help but privately think that if today's story were to spread, it might be a legendary ballad that circulated in the bars of Erouine and even Wohnde.
After Her Royal Highness drank a bottle of # 7 holy water, she held the bottle with both hands and was in a daze for a while. She looked at Brando with a puzzled look. Holy water was different from ordinary magic items because it often required both alchemy and high-level priests of the Holy Cathedral of Fire to make it. Brando actually had so much holy water. Although she only saw a few bottles, this amount was enough. What's more, Brando gave the holy water to the Knight, and she did not see any distress on his face.
This meant that he must have more holy water in his hands. Although Gryphine did not covet the holy water, this did not stop her from becoming more and more curious about Brando's experience.
She wanted to know more about what secrets this man was hiding, just as she had always wanted to confirm his identity and purpose in her heart. The half-elf girl acquiesced to Brando becoming her Knight, but everyone knew that this identity was somewhat unworthy of the title. Even the princess herself felt that there were too many things about him that could not be explained. Their relationship was not like a Knight and a princess, but more like a relationship of equals. She had to accept his help.
This relationship had once made her feel uneasy, and she had always vaguely wanted to change this relationship. But it was all in vain. She did not know if Brando could understand her kindness and her intention to seek change, but at the moment when Brando was in danger, she suddenly understood that she would not allow him to die like this.
She had tasted the taste of loneliness for too long.
Even her teacher, the Wolf Knight, could not fully understand her thoughts. Although Benninger's disguise was almost perfect, he was only someone who could help her.
Her Royal Highness suddenly felt a little moved. Her heart tightened, and she quickly frowned. She hurriedly collected her thoughts and returned to her original calmness.
Because she knew that it was impossible. She had to be careful.
This was already the limit.
After entering the crack, the group had gone deep into the underground of Ampere Seale. The temperature rose a little. At first, it only offset the cold outside, but gradually it became a little hot. Especially since there was no wind flowing underground, the air was full of a stale smell.
Brando was talking to Babasha, "Babasha, where is the secret passage you know?"
"It's not far north from here. I know where there should be a secret door."
"So it's on the way?" Brando's eyes lit up. This was good news. He was afraid that the secret passage would be in the ruins hall in the east, or in the ancient underground tunnel further east. Not to mention whether he could remember the maze-like terrain after so long, the key point was that it was also the territory of the Mother of Spiders, Anaron. He did not want to provoke that female tiger and then find trouble with her.
That was really a female tiger.
Babasha looked at him mysteriously and did not speak. It was as if the rumor that the Darkness Dragon knew everything had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. 'My lord obviously knew all this long ago.' She undoubtedly thought so. The prophecy of the Word of Darkness was simply accurate, and feudal superstition was deeply engraved in her mind.
But it was at this time that Brando, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He stopped and then reached out to stop everyone behind him. Everyone was slightly startled because they did not feel anything unusual at all. But after coming here and experiencing several battles, everyone had a tacit understanding, and no one questioned easily. A moment later, they saw a few black shadows emerging from a crack not far away.
The Knight looked at each other. Meeting other 'humanoid creatures' in this dangerous underground was obviously a little beyond their expectations. But only Brando saw it clearly.
It was a caveman.
He made a silent gesture. The caveman's hearing was surprisingly sensitive, especially in the silence where most of the sound could only travel in one direction underground. Fortunately, after reaching Elemental Awakening, his five senses were a hundred times sharper than ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by the other party first.
Except for the clans led by Abies who left the underground world and fled to the surface, there were very few cavemen who wandered outside of the Underground Lords. But one was already very rare. Brando didn't think he was lucky enough to encounter such things one after another. There was only one possibility for the other party's identity – that was, they were part of the underground army of Jorgendy Ridge.
But how did they get here? Did the other party also discover this secret passage?
Brando didn't think this was likely. Could it be that there was a passage connected to the underground of Jorgendy Ridge nearby? That was very likely. He couldn't help but frown as he watched the Subterrane Dwellers slowly crawl into another crack.
The underground world extended in all directions, but most of the naturally formed passages led to dead ends. Some of them also led to the lairs of monsters or traps. But Brando remembered that the path should lead to the ancient ruins hall.
The other party did not seem to have discovered the secret door that Babasha was talking about.
He breathed a sigh of relief. When the cavemen were far away, the Knight asked, "My Lord, they?" These Lantonilan Knight had previously addressed Brando as Sir, but now they directly addressed Brando as My Lord.
But Brando probably didn't know that the change in the details of this address was not only because the other party was in awe of his strength, but also because Eco had been telling his deeds in the Eversong Forest to his Knight all year round. These Knights may have originally scoffed at their successor who was full of Knight ideals, but now it seemed that even Eco's position in their hearts had risen a lot.
It was a pity that Brando didn't know the details of this, otherwise he would have been ashamed. He waited for a while before replying in a low voice, "The cavemen know the underground world far better than we do. It's not surprising that they can find this place. This doesn't mean anything. Let's move on first. "
Everyone nodded, as though they were going to do whatever Brendel said. But in fact, Brando himself didn't have much confidence in his heart. He only hoped that the old witch Babasha wasn't lying to him.
Hopefully that secret passage was as hidden as she said, or else this would be a waste of effort. And getting out would be a problem.
He couldn't help but glance at Babasha. Unfortunately, the old witch's face was hidden under the hood and he couldn't see anything, but she didn't look nervous.
