The spider patterns are mottled, some are dark purple, some are crimson, and some are green and blue. They are colorful and have a strange beauty.
Each spider is as big as a palm. Some have obvious leg segments and are hairy, some have slender legs and an abdomen that looks like a human face, and some have sharp edges and corners, like some kind of crustacean.
Just seeing a single spider would make people instinctively startled, let alone hundreds of them falling from the sky.
Perhaps when the three people were eating just now, these spiders were perched above their heads, quietly observing their every move.
Or maybe the food itself is made by spiders.
Trist subconsciously took a look at the food. Fortunately, everything was normal.
βIs this a scene from a novel?β
Lu Ban began to study these spiders seriously.
The spider on his shoulder had already climbed onto his arm. Eight small eyes and a pair of fangs could be seen. The eight legs crawling on his arm felt itchy. There were also fine hairs left behind where the spider had crawled, making the skin red and swollen.
"There's something wrong with this hotel. It looks like that priest wants to harm us."
Drizzt pulled out his usual revolver and fired a shot at the ceiling, blowing one of the spiders apart. Green juice splashed onto the wall, leaving deep stains.
More spiders fell down while moving their legs.
Xia seemed to be accustomed to this kind of monster. She snapped her steel-gloved hands silently, and a gust of wind blew in the room.
The spider in the center of the ceiling exploded quickly, like an invisible ball hitting it, disintegrating and exploding everything it touched.
Mystra's Void Explosion!
Even Lu Ban remembered this name. At this time, this slow-moving but extremely powerful spell was just right for dealing with such a situation.
In an instant, one third of the spiders turned into cheese in the exploding cheese chicken steak, and thick body fluids flowed everywhere, but not a drop fell on Xia's body. The body fluids of various colors were blocked by an invisible wall, forming a circle visible to the naked eye.
There was a lot of juice on Lu Ban's body. He shook off the spider in his hand and sniffed the juice. It had a fishy smell, like a piece of meat that had been rotting for many days.
"Let's go."
Trist's magazine was used up, and compared to Xia, he was just like scratching an itch. When he arrived at the door of the hotel, he didn't care about the night outside and rushed out directly.
Lu Ban and Xia Ya followed closely behind. They saw that the spiders were crawling on the ground, densely packed together. More of them were crawling on the innkeeper's body, but he remained unmoved. He did not resist until the spiders covered his face.
The three of them left the hotel. It was dark outside, but the street lights were on in the town.
Lu Ban raised his head and looked at the street light carefully.
"Why, did you find anything?"
Trist followed Lu Ban and looked up. Apart from discovering that the street lights were lit by some kind of animal fat, there was nothing special about them.
βI think this is a good place to hang the capitalists who exploit the workers.β
Lu Ban withdrew his gaze.
"capitalist?"
Drizzt heard another word he didn't understand.
"We should go back to the church. I think the ancient capital is there."
Xia glanced at the church which was still brightly lit.
As they were about to go to the church, they saw some people gathered on the street.
Those people in black suits stood together in a circle, seemingly watching something.
"I'll go and take a look."
Lu Ban was curious.
"Don't go."
Before Trist could hold Lu Ban back, he saw Lu Ban sneaking over without even attracting the attention of those people.
He behaved exactly like these weird guys, or even better.
Lu Ban leaned his head over and looked towards the center like those men in suits.
Then he saw, in the middle, a man in a suit struggling in pain.
The expression on that person's face was still numb and indifferent, but his movements were very strange. He kept twitching as if he was having an epileptic seizure, struggling on the ground, and twisting his limbs.
Then, accompanied by a silent scream, he opened his mouth to the limit that one might worry about dislocation, and then, there was a click, and his jaw was dislocated.
His mouth didn't stop opening, his tongue and throat sticking out, as if something was pulling and dragging it to dig out whatever was inside.
The next moment.
With a puffing sound, the man's throat was pulled out.
No, that's not the throat.
Lu Ban saw a gray, rough, and strong tentacle sticking out from his mouth.
The tentacle made the man's entire body lose power, and he quickly drilled out like a little snake that had just hatched from its shell.
As the tentacles appeared, the man's body gradually shrank and flipped. Finally, when all the tentacles were presented in front of Lu Ban, the man in the suit had disappeared. What appeared was a twisted monster with tentacles as its head, limbs, and body.
The monster seemed to have no eyes or mouth, and its main body was a tentacle that was wriggling on the ground, like a parasite looking for a host.
"So, these people are actually transformed from such monsters?"
Faced with such a crazy and irrational scene, Lu Ban thought secretly.
At this moment, Lu Ban suddenly felt a lot quieter.
He looked around and all the people in suits suddenly turned their heads and stared at Lu Ban.
There was no expression on those heads that were moving normally or abnormally, only unreadable gazes falling on Lu Ban.
In the silent and still night, the light of the street lamps also became dim.
"You guys play, sorry to bother you."
Lu Ban took stealthy steps, trying to leave the group.
But a man in a suit reached out and grabbed Lu Ban.
One, two, three, more people reached out and grabbed Lu Ban.
In the silent night, under the gaze of the lights, they opened their mouths.
Without any unusual sound, slippery tentacles emerged from the depths of the throat.
Just like the twitching man, the faces of these people in suits were distorted and shriveled, and from their mouths, the tentacles that served as their bodies were gradually revealing their original appearance.
Seeing this, Lu Ban did not panic, but opened his mouth.
In an instant, some kind of manic, incessant, insane muttering that tortured the mind and spirit began to sound.
It was like scratching a blackboard with fingernails, like rubbing a stone on a smooth hole, like the sharp and piercing echo of a buzzing sound.
In an instant, all the tentacles began to twitch wildly, and the men in suits fell to the ground as if they had lost all their rationality. At the same time, Drizzt in the distance subconsciously covered his ears, and when Xia heard the whispering, her eyes suddenly widened and bloodshot, and then she immediately used a spell to temporarily block her hearing.
Lu Ban stopped mumbling, walked past the tentacle monsters twisting on the ground, and came to Trist and Xia.
"It seems they don't welcome me very much."
He said.
The three ignored the twitching monsters and went straight to the door of the church in the center of the town.
Pushing open the church door, Lu Ban saw the priest standing in front of the pulpit, reading a book.
"Perhaps you would like to see this."
He pointed to the manuscript lying on the last row of benches.
Drizzt pulled out his revolver and picked up the stack of manuscript paper when Lu Ban closed the door.
"Spiders, spiders everywhere, spiders falling from the sky..."
