"Sword spider?" the examinee was in an uproar.
Compared with violent spiders, sword spiders are much smaller and less powerful, but as long as they enter their nest, they will have no chance to leave alive. Once bitten, the venom with decomposition will destroy muscle tissue. Even if you can get away with it, you can't get rid of paralysis.
"OK... Ok..." kemel muttered.
Although the sword spider has thick skin and thick flesh, it is not particularly difficult to deal with. It is more than enough to deal with the poke with the strength of their mercenary regiment.
"It's time to choose. Go ahead and get promoted to the next level. Or return to mivila and take the test six years later." Eric's voice fell, and the candidates' complaints rang out.
However, complaints are complaints, and only a few of them really choose to give up. No one in the strongest group quit. More than ten people in group 2 and group 3 chose to go back to mivila town. They were afraid of the poison of sword spider and didn't want to become disabled without being famous.
Victor was the first to go to the spider monster's nest.
Looking at the thin back of ordinary men, some brave people also took steps. One after another, most of the candidates joined the forward team.
The black cobwebs were easy to distinguish during the day, and they avoided them carefully, but even so, they startled the sword spider hidden in the nest.
"Come out!"
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd began to panic. When running, they didn't care to observe the ground. Only a little Kung Fu, several people stepped on the cobweb.
"Boss!"
Saran tugged Evan for help to kemel not far away. His legs were entangled in spider silk. I can't break free.
"Two fools!" the regimental commander scolded. Take the flint out of your backpack. Gently flick saran's leg with a lighted torch. The heat of the flame soon dissipated the tenacity of the spider silk.
"There's no common sense..." he was scolding two subordinates. Kemel's eyes were attracted by a woman not far away. It's not because the woman has an amazing face. But because she was holding a small crossbow that could fit into her pocket. Aim at the famous person in this exam - Victor wood.
"Miso!"
In chaos. Only a small arrow with a long palm broke through the air. It's going to plunge into the back of the target. The young mage seems to have eyes behind his back. Reach out. Just grab the arrow with amazing speed.
Kemel was shocked by the scene.
He was not a strong man who had never seen an arrow with empty hands, but he saw for the first time that the mage could be so smooth, as if he was not holding a sharp arrow in his hand. The timing is exactly the same and looks very skillful.
With a low curse, Weina quickly hid behind the other candidates.
Despite the distance of 10 Turks, she could still feel the cold sight of the man, penetrating the candidates along the way and falling on herself. But to her surprise, Victor didn't fight back.
"Do you want to do it?" Eric asked his immediate boss as an examiner: "after all, these sword spiders are not arranged by us..."
Buffy shook his head: "No. although it's not arranged by the guild, it's also a test. If they are fools who can't even deal with sword spiders, there's no need to absorb them."
The spider's silk was afraid of fire and broke as soon as it burned, but in the face of the new silk spit out by the sword spider, most candidates soon fell into the dilemma of fatigue and being surrounded.
"Don't disperse!" a young voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "the less the number, the easier it is to become an attack target."
A group of blonde youths held a long stick with a huge red gem on the tip. Just a slight shake, immediately a hot flame erupted from the carved dragon head shaped stick head, baking a sword spider trying to get close into a spider feast.
Other mages followed suit. Unfortunately, they only killed a few sword spiders. They hid back in their nest and fought back with only spider silk.
As the two sides came and went, they soon fell into a protracted war.
Some people have tried to go around the back of the sword spider's nest and attack the creatures hiding in it, but the small yellowish brown mound is so strong that ordinary weapons can't penetrate it. They have to use magic.
Spider monsters have far more nests than mages. After a while, the human side can't support it first.
"This is not the way, I can't hold on." daleid of kemel mercenary regiment was the first mage to feel the magic overdraft.
The magician's magic is limited, and ordinary candidates will not carry too many torches or lighting appliances. Once it's finished, everyone will be finished.
"The spider monster is very territorial and won't easily stay away from his nest. As long as he can get away from this area, he will be safe. The examiner also said that as long as we 'pass' this area, we can pass the pass." Dalid doesn't want to die in the spider's belly before the first pass.
[use wall of fire.] after hearing the trainee's proposal, Victor wrote a spell name.
"Impossible, there are too many people..." Dalid almost immediately refuted the Lich's idea.
More than a hundred people, how big is the casting range?
[did I say we should all go together?] Victor, who lacks a sense of tension, remains calm even in such a critical moment.
"Well, do you have any good suggestions?" the blonde youth in the group with Victor asked politely.
[yes, yes, but I don't think it's likely to succeed.] the positive tone made the people nearby couldn't help asking why.
[this plan requires everyone's cooperation. Because the proportion of mages in the total number is very small, they have to take people out of the spider monster's occupied area twice. In this way, new problems will arise. Everyone doesn't want to stay as the second batch, because they are afraid that they will be abandoned and that the mage's magic will not last for the second escort.]
The scarlet lettering slowly dispersed in the air, and no one refuted Victor's words, because that was what they were worried about.
"I'll stay and the second group will go." the blonde spoke calmly, and his companion salachi immediately shouted.
"No, you can't..." soon, the retort died under the sharp gaze.
[I also stay. Protecting the remaining people needs a mage. It's enough to escort the first batch to leave. I'm not short of one.] Victor doesn't want to save people with great righteousness. He chose to stay. There are more important reasons, because he believes that this is not a measure of 'physique' at all, but a test of teamwork ability.
Eric and the invigilator with a goatee were still watching from a distance. If they were out of their sight, someone might take the credit for "command and cooperation".
The negotiation was soon completed. The three groups with poor strength left first, and the first group and the second group stayed.
Dalid and two other able mages stood in a triangle. They chanted the flame spell, and a wall of fire surrounded the first people.
Although the speed is slow, it works.
Once the silk spit out by the sword spider meets the fire wall gathered by the high heat mantra, the candidate has no advantage. The candidate passes through the dense nest area of spider monsters and goes farther and farther to the east of Davao village.
"Oh ~" Bafei looked at the fire wall slowly advancing towards Davao village with a smile, and his tone was full of praise: "it's really worth looking forward to, this exam. Let's wait and see how many people will be left in the end."
After leaving the arachnid area, the outline of the building gradually emerged.
After approaching, the examinees found that the so-called village was dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned.
Vina stood in the crowd, her eyes a little complicated.
Although Davao is less than half a day away from mivila, she rarely returns to this poor birthplace.
A hundred years ago, Davao was just a temporary village for crystal miners. At its peak, the number of miners here even exceeded the population of mivila town.
The good time did not last long, and the tunnel dug down finally penetrated the ancient cave. The swarming spider monsters dragged the defenseless miners into deep underground caves. At that time, the crystal mine owner invited many mercenaries and adventurers, which not only failed to eradicate the spider monsters, but also angered these creatures who had lived underground since ancient times.
The massacre hunting killed all the remaining miners, and the mining of crystal ore stopped. In order to ensure the safety of mivila Town, the garrison troops had to blow up the mine.
In order to prevent some profit seeking businessmen from continuing to mine crystalline ore, they had to declare that the resources of this crystalline ore had been exhausted. Without the only source of income, Davao village has gradually lost its original excitement, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled miners who do not want to move.
Although it has been abandoned, there has always been a lack of visitors in the deep mining channel. For example, adventurers who like to run around like that, they like to drill into the underground network extending in all directions to find nonexistent treasures.
Fed up with poverty, Weina left Davao village at the age of 16. In the town of mivila, she was hired as a receptionist of the adventure guild by virtue of her beautiful appearance. As she grew older, Weina gradually realized that it was not enough to be an ordinary employee to get out of poverty.
After meeting Emma, an alchemist, neither of the two young women began to think about the future.
Taking advantage of her position in the adventure guild, Weina joins up with half elf Feili. With dark elf blood, she is unpopular everywhere and lives a wandering life all year round.
Vina, a little clever, used her blood to make her pretend to be Taran's third killer. Frost wolf's fame and the appearance of dark elves have earned salaries that can't be saved in a few years in just a few months. At this time, the simple task could not satisfy the increasingly greedy Weina. She turned her eyes to assassinating dignitaries and rich businessmen.
Victor wood happened to be the first big Commission received in the name of frost wolf. The reward was 50000 tarrankin. The additional requirement was to cut off the target's tongue.
Emma, who was in the same alchemy, stole the magic blocking medicine in wood's diet. Because the dose was very small, it was not easy to detect it before it took effect.
Next, Weina asked Feili to go to Buhe village and forced the village head to write the urgent letter. When wood was ready to go to Jingyao, she cheated him back to the village.
After calculating the time of the potion attack, without the interference of the villagers, everything is designed seamlessly. Vina never expected that this assassination, which was perfect from plan to implementation, would eventually evolve into today's situation.
After losing a tongue, Victor wood not only didn't die, but removed her companions one by one. Felie fell into the sword spider's nest and had little hope of survival. Emma's whereabouts are unknown, whether she is dead or alive.
If you don't try to get rid of this annoying guy, you may attract the real frost wolf.
