Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 86 Constellations

"Spider Crypt!?"

Laura's voice suddenly rose an octave.

As a girl who is fearless and has dared to travel around the world alone since she was young, there are not many things that can make her feel scared!

The hairy spider is apparently one of them.

Unfortunately, Marvin ignored her and walked in first.

Laura stamped her feet and had no choice but to follow in.

The air in the cave was unexpectedly smooth, with a slight breeze.

The underground tunnel is quite spacious and seems to have been dug by humans, but has been abandoned for various reasons.

There was a dense row of grass under the cave, which spread all the way to the depths of the cave.

With a puff, Marvin took out a torch, lit it with a flint, and handed it to Laura.

"Ah?" Laura was a little confused and didn't know why she was asked to hold the torch.

Marvin took out his machete and indicated that he had to hold it with both hands.

He then found an ordinary small sword and handed it to Laura.

The latter's expression suddenly changed: "Why do you want to give me a weapon?"

"Do I have to fight too? I don't know any martial arts skills. I can't even use a sword!"

Laura almost cried in the last sentence.

How could this Ma Wen, this double-bladed mask, be like this? Not at all humane?

I am a girl, eh? If I really want to fight, why don't I bring a few more guards?

Marvin rolled his eyes at her and said, "When the [Black Spider] is about to inject its venom into your body, you will use the sword."

"Listen, I will try my best to protect you, but in this cave, no one knows when we will be attacked."

"If I am too late to rescue you, then this sword and the torch will be your last hope."

Marvin said as he walked deeper into the cave.

He has dark vision, so he doesn't need a torch. There are many reasons for lighting a torch. First, it can temporarily conceal his night vision ability. Second, it is also convenient for Laura to see the road. Third...

In such a dark place, the fire can be seen even from a long distance.

Spiders are very sensitive creatures, especially the black spiders. These hungry female spiders can see the flames from a long distance away.

Since they are going to be killed one by one anyway, it is better to lure them here in one go and then kill them.

…

The air in the dungeon was slightly damp. Marvin seemed relaxed on the surface and was willing to share some common sense with Laura:

"Look, this is the north grass. If you follow the direction of the north grass, you can go precisely to the north."

"There is an interesting story about the Compass Grass. It is said that if there is an indefatigable traveler who follows the Compass Grass all the way north to the northernmost part of the wilderness of Fenan World, he will be able to reach the [Witch Throne] in the sky."

"Do you know why this allusion exists? Because the Witch King's constellation is composed of twelve stars, and the North Pointing Grass also generally has twelve saw teeth."

Laura looked at Marvin in surprise.

She had been among the common people since she was a child, but she had never heard of such stories. Perhaps only the nobles had such extensive knowledge.

Since she was a child, Laura has envied those noble ladies who could eat and drink all day without having to work, wear the most expensive clothes, and pursue some personal spiritual freedom.

A poor girl like her could never do this.

"I'm sure he has told this story to many noble girls before, right?"

"Of course he is. Even though he is still young, he must have deceived many girls."

"But why did he take me on this road alone? I heard that bad boys like it... No! If he really wanted to bully me, he could have done it in the farmhouse that day. This guy is not interested in me at all!"

"Hmm? I don't think I've ever heard that the Lord of the White River Valley is interested in any girl. Could it be that this guy likes boys?"

Just as Laura's mind was full of thoughts, Marvin suddenly stopped.

A dark shadow quickly crawled out from the cave in front!

It was a standard black spider.

Marvin was the first to spot her.

Because although he was chatting with Laura on the surface, his mind was actually completely focused on the potential enemies ahead.

The first black spider?

Marvin whispered, “Stand back, I’ll do it.”

Laura replied unusually obediently: “Okay.”

She took a few steps back, stood on tiptoe and held the torch, fearing that Marvin would not be able to see the enemy clearly due to the light.

Suddenly, she suddenly asked:

"Oh, by the way, Master Marvin, what's your zodiac sign?"

constellation?

Marvin's face was full of black lines, but at this moment, the black spider had already rushed up!

…

The black spider is different from other spider monsters. This type of spider is not good at weaving sticky silk webs, but the spider silk it spits out is a weapon with powerful toxins!

And this spider silk is different from other spiders. It is as hard as iron, with a particularly thin tip and extremely strong penetrating power.

If you want to survive the attack of the black spider, you must strike first.

Marvin ignored Laura's silly question and accelerated directly, rushing towards the black spider!

Puff puff puff!

The black spider raised its legs, and suddenly, a large amount of hard spider silk was spewed out.

She spit out twelve thin and short spider silks in one breath!

Every spider silk is like a sharp arrow!

Marvin was well prepared. He rolled on the ground to avoid the first wave of attacks. At the same time, he successfully arrived under the belly of the black spider!

The black spider hurriedly took two steps back and tried to attack Marvin with its claws.

Unfortunately, she was too slow.

Marvin had slaughtered countless black spiders in his previous life, so killing this thing was a piece of cake for him!

He then kicked backwards with both feet, kicked off the spider's front two claws , then exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and pulled himself up!

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The two swords rotated, forming a sword shadow, and each sword cut on the joints of the six legs behind the black spider.

There was a creaking sound, and the joints broke, and the black spider fell down involuntarily!

Marvin rolled forward and then jumped high.

break out!

In an instant, he jumped directly onto the spider's head and stabbed his two knives into the spider's head fiercely!

A simple and standard somersault!

He stepped on the hilt of the knife with both feet and nailed the entire black spider to the ground.

The entire process was completely smooth, without any hesitation, it was purely the result of super strong combat instinct and experience.

The black spider twitched a few times before dying with difficulty.

Laura standing by was simply stunned.

In just a few breaths, Marvin killed such a hideous and terrifying spider with his own hands?

You know, the black spider is a second-level monster. It is very difficult for ordinary professionals to fight it one-on-one.

But for Marvin, it seemed so easy.

Two snaps.

Marvin stepped down from the spider's head, pulled out the machete, and glared at Laura:

"Please don't ask such stupid questions when I'm about to start a fight, okay?"

Laura came over pitifully holding a torch, apologizing profusely.

Seeing her sincere attitude, Marvin almost couldn't help but forgive him.

However, after apologizing, she only hesitated and said:

"But I really want to know what your zodiac sign is!"

Marvin remained silent.

He put away his two swords and walked into the darkness.

After a while, a very reluctant voice came from the darkness:

"I am from the Pisces constellation."

…

In the dark dungeon, Marvin and Laura moved forward.

The black spiders were not particularly formidable opponents for Marvin. At least after he had personally killed monsters like the Twins, he had no feelings towards them.

The structure of the entire cave is very simple, just a straight tunnel. There are a total of twelve black spiders stationed in the tunnel, but the entrance is relatively hidden.

In his impression, the Spider Crypt was the first copy opened in Screaming Mountains.

If you use the conventional method, the twelve black spiders in this dungeon are difficult to deal with. However, for a lone ranger like Marvin who has super high physical coordination and burst skills, the difficulty is just average.

Just be careful to avoid the black spider's preparatory movements before it spits out silk.

Originally, due to the lack of visibility, the black spider's preparatory movements for spinning silk were difficult to detect.

But Marvin now has dark vision, and he has a keen insight into every detail, so prediction is very easy for him.

The two men moved forward, and Marvin ruthlessly killed four black spiders.

The way each black spider died was almost exactly the same. At first, Laura would cheer and admire, but later on, the girl seemed to gradually look down on the black spiders.

It's nothing serious. Master Marvin killed it with just a few strikes.

This thought came to the girl's mind, and she felt much more relaxed.

In the silent darkness, she was bored and started a semi-soliloquy conversation again:

"I heard that Pisces men are particularly fond of being sentimental."

"I am a Snow Girl. According to the legend of the Giska people, Pisces and Snow Girl are a good match."

"Oh, yes, Pisces!"

Laura suddenly jumped up: “Then isn’t your birthday coming soon?”

Marvin glanced at her strangely and finally nodded.

There was a fork in the cave ahead, and the North Grass spread along one of the routes.

On the other side, there was thick darkness, and all kinds of rubble covered the ground.

Without hesitation, Marvin walked towards the path that did not point to the north grass.

"Hey? Didn't you take the wrong way?" Laura shouted quickly.
