After hearing Danny's warning, Tang En and the rest carefully avoided the falling rocks. After tiptoeing around the stalactites on the ground, a dense spider web appeared in front of them. The spider web covered the entire side of the cave. The back of the stalactites was completely covered, and there were still a few cocoons left on the web.
The cocoons were bound together by spider silk, and the surrounding spider webs were tattered by the falling stalactites, but they were lucky enough to survive.
"Do you want to take a look?"
Fiona whispered, "It seems that the sudden change in the environment has caused the spider major monsters to leave. There might be adventurers in the cocoons. Maybe they can still be saved."
Twain looked at the tattered cobwebs and then looked at the cocoons. His brows furrowed tightly.
As Fiona said, the spider major monsters that originally lived here seemed to have left. The sudden change in the airflow had caused the environment to deteriorate abruptly. The gargoyles, owls and corrosives that lived in the farm were all slaughtered by Tang En, so it was difficult to hunt for food here.
Logically speaking, the major monsters here should have left long ago.
Tang En sighed. After entering the underground world, the rich elemental deposition environment made it difficult for his mana to detect the surroundings like on the surface. If Nola was here, she could easily detect whether there were any signs of life in the cocoons.
Tang En said, "A few of you, come with me to take a look."
"My Lord?!"
"How can you do this?!"
"No!"
"No!"
Locke, Depp, Elsa and Fiona all stopped Tang En in unison.
Tang En was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Locke smiled bitterly. "If we let you do everything, then what's the point of having us? My Lord, leave it to me. My former subordinates and I have experience in this kind of thing. "
Tang En pondered for a moment and compromised. "In that case, Locke, bring a few people over to take a look. Be careful."
Locke nodded and called a few of Cross Rose's old comrades over. They then carefully crept over. They were familiar with each other, so it was easier for them to work together in this situation.
They felt their way to the edge of the spider web. After gently touching it, Locke made a few gestures to Tang En.
Depp whispered to Tang En, "Dry, not sticky, dusty … Safe to assume."
Tang En looked at Depp in surprise. "You can read it?"
Depp smiled sheepishly and nodded. He scratched his head and said, "I've been doing a lot of tutoring lately … especially with Commander Locke. He taught me a lot of knowledge that I can use in my adventures."
"Not bad. Good luck."
After Tang En finished speaking, he focused his attention on Locke again.
Since he could not be certain of his safety, he had already prepared a Tier 5 Purgatory Blast, ready to harass the enemy at any time.
Locke and the others carefully crept along the spider web to the cocoon. Just as they were about to peel it open with their daggers, the cocoon suddenly began to twist violently.
The cocoon turned half a circle, and Locke was stunned. Suddenly, he saw a breathing slit in the cocoon, revealing a nose. It was indeed a human nose!
"Adventurers! They're still alive! "
Locke shouted. After his comrades pressed down on the cocoon, he began to cut the tough spider web. "We're here to save you! Hold on! "
Perhaps it was because they suddenly heard a human voice and knew that they could be saved, the victims began to twist and turn in excitement.
Tang En and the others, who were far away in the middle of the road, heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the victims could still be saved. They stared closely at Locke, paying attention to his movements.
Just as their attention was completely attracted by the cocoon, above their heads, a huge shadow was slowly descending in height …
"That's why I said … Don't move!"
Locke pressed down on the cocoon and broke a few strands of tough spider web. He quickly untied the adventurer's head and scolded the weak adventurer, "Do you not understand what I'm saying or what?"
The weak adventurer, who saw the light of day again, did not thank the gods. With his eyes closed, he looked anxious. "Be … Be careful …"
"What?"
Locke did not hear his weak voice clearly.
"Be careful … Shadow Lurker … Sly … Bait … Hunt …"
The adventurer seemed to be trying to tell Locke something, but because he had been trapped for too long, his throat was so dry and hoarse that he could not even speak a complete sentence clearly.
"Don't worry, drink some water."
Locke took out a bottle and fed him a few mouthfuls of water, not daring to let him drink too much at once.
At this time, a few people next to him shook their heads and said regretfully, "Captain, these people are all dead. They've been sucked dry. It's obviously a spider monster."
"That's because they were unlucky. I wish them a peaceful rest in the arms of Gerrit Terrance."
Locke sighed. Those people did not make it to the end. On one hand, it showed that they were unlucky. On the other hand, it also showed that they were not strong enough. If they were not strong enough, rashly entering the underground world to explore was courting death.
Locke turned around and was about to inform Tang En of the situation when his pupils suddenly shrank. Standing in the distance, he could clearly see the shadow slowly descending above the main group!
At this moment, he finally understood what the adventurer was warning him about.
The shadow seemed to know that Locke had discovered it. In an instant, it broke the silk threads at its tail and fell directly from the sky. At the same time, it spat out a ball of viscous liquid. The liquid expanded rapidly and turned into a sticky net when it came into contact with the air.
Locke used all his strength to shout, "Be careful above!"
Above?
As soon as Tang En raised his head, a large net fell on his head. Then, there was a loud bang. A huge spider monster tens of metres long appeared above them. Its body was huge and its four pairs of long spider legs stretched across the left and right sides of the team. The row of compound eyes on its huge jaw made people's hair stand on end. Its long, furry legs were covered with barbs that could easily tear flesh. There were even traces of the adventurers' blood on them.
Tang En sucked in a breath of cold air. When he was on Earth, if there were any creatures he was afraid of, it would undoubtedly be arthropods. Whether it was centipedes, centipedes, or spiders, they would all make his hair stand on end. How serious was the situation? Sometimes, when he ate crabs and lobsters, he suddenly remembered that they were also arthropods and would suddenly feel a chill down his spine.
The sudden appearance of the gigantic demonic beast caused a commotion among the troops. Although they had undergone a lot of discipline training, but before this, they were only Ellington's militia. How could they have fought a demonic beast head-on?
When such a huge and ferocious monster appeared in front of them, any normal person would be afraid of it.
Tang En, who had originally planned to kill the terrifying arthropod, thought for a moment and suppressed his mana.
They couldn't be safe forever. It was only a matter of time before they encountered an enemy. Since that was the case, he might as well use this opportunity to train them. After all, it was a rare opportunity. With him around, they wouldn't be in any danger.
"Calm down!"
Depp growled. "Shield warriors, raise your shields and prepare for the impact. Warriors, start cutting the spider web. Don't give it a chance to continue spitting!"
Depp's voice calmed the warriors down. They quickly drew their weapons and started cutting the spider web.
"Follow me!"
Elsa tore the spider web apart with her bare hands. She shouted and pounced on the nearest spider leg.
Then, the people around her began to struggle to escape from the spider web. The people further away continued to cut the spider web.
Not everyone was as crazy as Ayesha, who could tear such a tough spider web apart with just a tug. The sticky spider web was hard to cut, especially the sticky liquid. Perhaps even a Revelation below iron-level rank-9 would be helpless in such a situation. The Ellington Guards were only able to struggle because of their excellent universal alloy equipment.

The giant spider, which was also the Shadow Lurker that the adventurer had mentioned, raised its leg and the cave shook. Elsa, who had just rushed forward, came to a sudden stop. Her foot plowed a deep trench in the ground. She then crashed into a stalactite pillar behind her, smashing it into pieces.
"Oh …"
Tang En covered his face. He couldn't bear to watch.
Whoosh!
A long, sharp leg fell from the sky and stabbed the guard behind. He didn't have time to dodge, so he had to raise his shield and activate the Blood Qi in his body to block the attack!
Clang!
The guard's entire body sank into the ground. Thanks to the powerful alloy, the shield and armor absorbed a huge amount of the impact. Although the shield was slightly deformed, the guard was only slightly hit and his life was unharmed.
The Shadow Lurker seemed to be very confused as to why it couldn't kill the little bug. It then began to absorb mana to recharge. Its pair of giant jaws trembled and made a shuddering sound. When Vanilla saw the green light that was gradually getting brighter, he was so shocked that his tail stood up. "Be careful! It's going to spit venom! "
"Spit venom?"
Tang En was stunned. Wasn't a spider monster that could spit venom a Poison Hunter? He had seen its shadow in Albern's underground maze. Wasn't it an extinct monster?
Then again, it was normal for a spider monster to spit venom, right? This Shadow Lurker's appearance was very similar to a Poison Hunter. Could it be a mutated species after it went underground?
At this time, the poison gland in the Shadow Lurker's body had finished absorbing the mana. After it finished recharging, the green light around its fangs became even more intense. Following the Shadow Lurker's every move, it left behind a strange trail of light.
"Aha!"
Just as the Shadow Lurker's poison gland opened, Elsa shouted. She had unknowingly circled to the back and hugged one of the Shadow Lurker's hind legs. She pulled with force, trying to lift it up.
"Sigh, no, it's too difficult."
Tang En shook his head. Elsa's face was already red from holding it in. However, the Shadow Lurker's weight was not normal. Its body was also very large, so it definitely wouldn't be easy to lift it.
"Crack!"
