Chapter 25: Ch 25: Five Poison Giant Spider
"Leader, we have already walked more than a kilometer deep inside the inner region of the forest. If we keep going forward, we will encounter some troublesome Demonic Beasts."
The scar-face man said to the bald man.
The short man followed and said, "Boss, why haven't we seen the cave marked on this map? Is the make fake?"
"Hey!" The bald man laughed sinisterly, "The Vice President himself gave this map for us to search for that item. Do you think he will give us the wrong map?"
The other people couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, revealing a relieved expression. He said, "Since it's the map given by the Vice President of Merchant Guild, then it can't be fake."
Time passed minute by minute!
The towering trees on the left and right sides of the road were constantly being left behind. The deeper they went into the forest, the darker it became. The dense treetops and lush foliage made it difficult for even sunlight to shine through.
The moist air seemed to be mixed with the smell of the earth.
Soon, the bald man and his group arrived in front of a wetland.
"We found the wetland marked on the map. The cave is not far from here. It'll only take us about half an hour to reach the cave." The bald man's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement as he slowed down his pace.
The Scar-faced man, the short man, and the others also slowed down. It was because they knew that the wetland was extremely dangerous. They had to be careful here and pass it with extreme caution.
What appeared in front of them was a humid area. Water was still visible on the ground and footprints that were over 10 cm deep appeared on the ground as they walked.
"Look, there is actually a Blood Crystal Lotus. We are gonna make a killing if we can get our hands on this medicinal herb." A bandit with bright eyes yelled in pleasant surprise when his eyes suddenly caught the glimpse of a blood-colored lotus that was shining just like crystals in sunlight.
When others heard him, they turned to look in the direction pointed by the previous bandit.
Everyone was excited to see that in the wetland ahead of them, there was a dark black-colored area and in the middle of the area, there was lush vegetation. In the middle of the green vegetation, a beautiful blood-red lotus.
"It really is the Blood Crystal Lotus. We are rich, we are rich. Hahaha!" The little man's eyes were shining as he started laughing.
The size of the Blood Crystal Lotus was similar to that of an ordinary lotus but its color was not only blood-red, its petals were also bright and beautiful like a red crystal. From afar, a red halo lingered around the petals, giving off an enchanting vibe like smoke and fog.
When others saw the Blood Crystal Lotus, they were like poor, crazy, and hungry beggars looking at the table full of delicious food. None of them could control their excitement.
"Hehe, Leader, I'll go and pick it." The scarface grinned and said.
"Don't be rash."
The bald man stretched out his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget this is the wetland. This place is said to be extremely dangerous. We have to be careful."
His words woke up the others! The bandits immediately understood what their leader was trying to say.
The bald man glanced at the short man beside him and the latter laughed sinisterly as he said, "Hehe, I understand!"
With that, the short man took out two steel balls from his sleeve. With a wave of his hand, the balls quickly flew out and landed in a bush behind the wetland.
"Boom!"
Along with a loud explosion, a powerful blast blew up the shrubbery. The strong wind raged and mud flew everywhere. The Blood Crystal Lotus swayed back and forth.
"Shorty, don't destroy the Blood Crystal Lotus!" The scar-face said anxiously when he saw this scene.
"Hehe, how could I be so stupid? It's not my first time using this explosive pearl, I know what to do."
Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of cold and gloomy air assaulted him.
"Tsk tsk!"
Accompanied by a strange chilling howl, a colorful monster slowly crawled out from the dark dense forest behind the bush that had just been blown up.
"Hmph, I knew that you would be hiding in the back." A proud smile appeared on the bald man's face when he saw this monster.
Wherever the medicinal herbs, spirit flowers, and plants grew, Demonic Beasts would usually appear.
Especially in this area, it was definitely not as tranquil as it appeared on the surface.
"Crrekk!"
It was a colorful giant spider. Its body alone was five meters wide. Coupled with its long and tanned legs, it was over ten meters wide.
Its hideous head was facing the crowd, looking extremely terrifying and disgusting. Its sharp mouth was like a man-eating flower and its guillotine-like pincers made people shudder.
"It is actually Level Three Demonic Beast, Five Poison Giant Spider!" The bald man said coldly when he saw this spider. Facing such a monster, he did not panic at all.
The eight eyes on the Five Poison Giant Spider's head were staring at the people with a cold gaze as if warning them not to even think of getting the Blood Crystal Lotus.
"Crrekk!"
"Hehe, this bastard seems to be angry!" The bald man revealed a sinister smile. He changed the subject and shouted at his companions, "Old rules, go!"
"Yes sir!"
The bandits replied in unison before quickly spreading out and changing their positions and forming a fan shape.
Soon after, everyone took out a chain as thick as a person's wrist. The end of the chain had a sharp barbed blade. In the next moment, everyone simultaneously threw out the iron chains in their hands.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Everyone's actions were extremely quick. Eight or nine iron chains flew out like flowing rivers, with incomparably sharp barbed blades directly piercing into the back of the Five Poison Giant Spider's body.
"Jiya!"
The Five Poison Giant Spider let out a tragic and furious screech as it opened its blade-like mouth and spat out green venom.
"Stabilize the iron chains. Don't get splashed by this beast's venom." The bald man immediately instructed his men.
The iron chains in everyone's hands were more than ten meters long and they moved in a regular way. They completely locked the Five Poison Giant Spider in one area, restricting its movements.
Every time the Five Poison Giant Spider moved, the barbed hook on its back would tear its flesh, causing extreme pain.
In a situation where its movements were restricted, the Five Poison Giant Spider could only continuously spew out the venom. The green venom was stained on the flowers and plants, which immediately withered.
