Afterwards, Yunwen and I chatted until the second half of the night. We were both very sleepy, so we went into the tent together to sleep for a while. It felt like in the blink of an eye, it was already dawn and the campfire had gone out.

Fortunately, I had some skills and quickly saved the bonfire and prevented the charcoal from going out. This preserved the fire source and prevented it from being unable to light a fire again.

After the fire started for a while, the charcoal fire gradually revived, so I took a torch and covered the others with sand to extinguish them completely. As the saying goes, forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility, and I certainly kept this in mind.

Torches do not burn open flames, but they must be kept burning all the time. This is our next important fire-starting tool. Yunwen has helped to dismantle the tent bracket. After that, I asked her to hold the torch to keep the fire, and I was responsible for carrying the entire bundle of tent parts. Then we each ate a peach and prepared to set off down the mountain.

However, before we even set out, we were faced with two relatively serious problems. First, there was nothing to hold drinking water, and it would be very troublesome if we got thirsty on the way. Secondly, after getting up in the morning, Yunwen felt a little weaker. I don’t know if it was because she stood in the wind last night and caught a cold. After getting up today, she looked a little dazed and her complexion was not right. I dare not think too much about it, for fear that what I thought would come true. I hope it is just a small problem.

"Is it convenient to go today?" I asked.

"Well, I can walk, but my head is a little swollen. Also, because of that stuff stirring around in various parts of my body, many internal organs have been damaged, leaving inflammation and some pain, so I may be able to walk slower." Yunwen said.

Hearing this, I lost some confidence in going. This trip would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. What if Yunwen's body couldn't take it and her injuries got worse because of my overreaction? It would be better to go back and let Bailu recuperate first. Besides, food was less important. We could collect a lot along the way, but the water problem couldn't be solved.

I sighed and was about to speak, but Yunwen put her index finger on my lips. She frowned slightly and said, "It's only half a day's journey to Claw Dragon Mountain. I can still make it there. Besides, since you have made up your mind, don't change it easily. Think about those foxes who died for you. Can you bear to turn back? There must be a way out when you get to the mountain. Why bother trying to go down and see?"

You can see through my thoughts at a glance, and you are really thoughtful.

"Okay, let's try it," I said.

So, the two of us went down the mountain. She was weak, so I supported her more. We walked slowly, but we were still on the way. Along the way, Yunwen saw some wild vegetables and berries, and she would pick them like Bai Lu. She had a good memory and was smart. She could remember some things when she saw others doing them, and she understood them quickly. Therefore, she knew all the things in the mountains, whether they were edible roots or edible rhizomes, leaves, stamens, fruits, etc., and she picked them at will. Before long, my backpack was filled with a lot of wild vegetables, wild mushrooms, and wild grass roots.

We each ate some peaches and walked downhill. The road was steeper and more remote, with less shade from the trees and more weeds and rocks. After walking nearly two hundred steps, we reached a dead end. Looking down, we saw a big cliff. The road turned about 150 degrees and continued downhill. This section of the road was even more remote, and even weeds were too lazy to grow.

This made me feel a little uneasy. Even near the rocky area I visited last time, there were messy weeds growing, and even a lot of them broke through the rocks. But there was no grass in this area. Why is this? If there is no plant growth, it is either because there is no sun and air, or there is something wrong with the soil.

The further I went down, the colder I felt, and a sense of discomfort spread all over my body, which made me alert. I squatted down, picked up some soil from the mountain and smelled it. The soil felt soft, looked black, and had a faint smell of rotten wood. It was no different from the soil above. They were all acidic soils, which were conducive to the growth of pine trees and other plants.

Logically speaking, if things can grow on top, they should be able to grow on the bottom as well, but there is not even a weed here, which is a bit weird.

But at this time, Yunwen called me and said, "Zhou Bo, come and take a look at this."

I walked towards her and saw a few white threads like small ropes on the small stones protruding from the slope. I picked it up and saw that it was very sticky and looked like spider silk, but such thick spider silk was unconventional.

"Light up the fire, there might be something wrong here." I said quickly.

Yunwen obediently blew the torch to light a fire, and we continued to move forward. Suddenly, we saw a lot of field cooking utensils on the ground, including a military kettle and a hanging pot for field use, but there was a big hole at the bottom of the pot. There were also some open cans nearby, which had already turned black and smelly. We were worried that we had nothing to store water in, but we found it immediately.

So I went over and picked up the military kettle, which made a lot of clanging sounds when touched. I put it in my backpack, and saw the iron fork and spoon, so I put them in together. But the hanging pot was difficult to take and put in, and it had holes in it and was not easy to use. But it felt like a waste not to take it out, and it would be a pity to throw it away if it was tasteless.

While I was busy with this, I suddenly heard Yunwen say to me: "Zhou Bo, look, there is something moving in front."

I stood up and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was something wrapped tightly in spider silk moving and struggling inside. Yunwen followed closely behind me, becoming more and more scared. She held my hand, and I could feel her palms sweating. I took the torch from her hand, melted a lot of the spider silk, then picked up a wooden pole and began to roll the spider silk like rolling a marshmallow.

When I saw what was inside, I was so scared that I almost dropped the torch!

"What did you see?" Yunwen asked carefully, hiding behind me.

"A horse, a spider can actually catch a horse in a web? How big must its head be!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, I also remembered that the nuclear power plant was nearby, which would probably have a great impact on the creatures in this area. The average lifespan of a spider is 1 to 2 years. I believe the mutations of the previous generation will soon spread to the next generation. In addition, spider eggs have been affected by nuclear radiation for a long time. After one or two generations of changes, they must have mutated seriously when they are born again.

"Don't think too much about it for now, just rescue the horse quickly." Yunwen said.

I nodded and continued to roll the spider silk, but at this time I heard the horse neighing with a sense of fear, and I also felt a chill on my head!

Chuck...

The sound of insect limbs moving!

I immediately pushed Yunwen away and moved away, only to see a huge wolf spider hanging upside down above me. I was almost stung by it just now. This huge wolf spider might be about the same height as Yunwen when standing, but now hanging upside down, it is about 30 centimeters from the ground, but its head is the same height as me. Its body length is over 1.5 meters, which is really big.

But I have seen things that are more terrifying than it. Both the white devil and the underground monster are ten times more terrifying than it. So I was relatively calm when I saw it.

After careful analysis, I came to the conclusion that there was no grass in the surrounding soil. It must be that the acid in the giant spider's body had affected the soil quality for a long time, so the acidity was too high and poisonous, and naturally no grass could grow. Since it was highly poisonous, I would inevitably be corroded by the venom in close combat, so I had to avoid it in long-range combat.

First of all, I had to lead it away to avoid hurting Yunwen. I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at it to attract its attention and lead it down the mountain. It was excited to see a living person and immediately chased me. I saw a dead tree on the mountain wall below it. It was very old and hanging loosely. I thought it was an opportunity.

Seeing it was about to walk into this area, I pulled out my gun and aimed the only two bullets left in it at the loose part of the tree trunk. After listening for the sound of the wind, I fired a shot. The trunk shook violently but did not fall down, just a little bit. I immediately picked up a stone on the ground and threw it again.

Finally, with a loud bang, the tree trunk fell from the cliff and hit the spider directly. It was crushed and could not move for a while. Its abdomen was broken and juice was flowing out. Its eight legs were dangling in the air.

I sighed. If there is one here, there must be a second one. Spider eggs are laid in nests one after another. There is no way that there will be only one here. The road ahead is really terrifying.
