Chapter 24 Spider Monster
The stone bullet whizzed over and hit the big spider, which was bounced away with a "pop" sound.
Zhou Xu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.
In his impression, spiders have always been fragile.
Come to think of it, after all, compared to a normal spider, humans have an overwhelming advantage in size, which makes it easy for them to crush a spider to death.
But they never thought that when a spider becomes larger than an off-road vehicle, will it still be so fragile? The specially prepared long-range weapons lost most of their meaning at this moment.
During this time, the big spider that was attacked undoubtedly noticed the existence of Dashan. It raised its butt and a white spider silk spurted out directly from its silk-spinning organ.
Faced with this sudden attack, Dashan remembered what their leader had just said to them, and reacted quickly. He turned sideways and hid behind the black tree next to him.
Dashan's dodging caused the spider that was flying towards him to stick directly to the trunk of the black tree.
I originally thought that the big spider's attack had missed and should have come to a temporary halt.
Unexpectedly, the big spider's reaction was not slow at all.
Since the spider silk was stuck to the trunk of the black tree, it simply hooked its legs on the silk and started dragging it.
The purpose of doing this is not to uproot the black tree, but to use the force of dragging the spider silk to get closer faster!
"Dashan! Get out of there!!"
Zhou Xu, who saw the scene clearly from the side, hurriedly spoke out to remind them.
At the same time, he twirled the slingshot in his hand and attacked the giant spider with all his might.
After witnessing with his own eyes the stone bullet thrown by Dashan being bounced away by the spider's shell, he no longer had high expectations for the destructive power of the slingshot.
He now just wanted to distract the giant spider's attention through this attack.
Otherwise, based on the speed currently displayed by the giant spider, once Dashan is targeted by it, he would be in trouble.
The flying stone bullet successfully hit the target. After all, the giant spider was really big, and the distance was not far away, so it was not difficult to hit it.
However, Zhou Xu's attack did not succeed in drawing away the big spider's "hatred".
The big spider that had suffered the attack didn't care about it at all. After getting completely close, its ferocious forelimbs went around the black tree in front of it and stabbed past it.
Dashan, who had received Zhou Xu's reminder in advance, fled towards another black tree in a slightly embarrassed manner.
During this period, Zhou Xu did not stop his attack, of course, and the second stone bullet was already spinning at high speed on the slingshot.
"Everyone, spread out and attack the giant spider at the same time!"
If you can't attract "hatred", just keep hitting until the big spider comes to deal with them.
At this moment, Zhou Xu even had an idea in his mind: "Can we rely on our numbers to keep pulling and finally kill the giant spider?"
But he soon realized that this idea was not realistic.
In order to conduct proper tactical drills in this dark forest, they brought some stone bullets with them, but to be honest, the number was not large, with each person only carrying about four or five stone bullets.
Based on this premise, how much damage can a stone bullet cause to the giant spider?
At the same time, in this relatively complex black forest environment, they could not ensure that every stone bullet would hit the target, so there was no chance that they could kill the enemy.
Right now, we have to find a way to escape from the giant spider's pursuit.
While Zhou Xu was thinking, he organized the remaining slingers and dispersed to attack the giant spider.
Unlike the previous single attacks, with the density of these attacks, the big spider would undoubtedly not be able to continue to pretend that they did not exist.
He immediately gave up the subsequent pursuit of Dashan, turned around and tried to lock on their position.
"Don't stop, keep attacking!"
While observing the entire situation, Zhou Xu quickly organized a new round of attacks.
However, almost at the same time as this new round of attack was launched, the giant spider suddenly turned around, as if locking onto him!
This situation made Zhou Xu's hair stand on end.
[What's going on? Why did it lock onto me so easily? Did it know that I was directing the attack? Is it that smart?]
[No, no! If it really had this wisdom, it should have attacked me from the beginning, not now! ]
[Calm down, there must be a reason why it locked onto me. Did it discover my existence? How did it discover me? ]
After forcing himself to calm down, Zhou Xu's mind gradually became clear.
[Although spiders have many eyes, they generally have very poor eyesight and no hearing. How do they distinguish targets? Touch. Vibration! Yes, vibration! ]
[I understand. From the beginning, I have been shouting. The vibrations in the air caused by my shouting made it sense my presence.]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu, who had hurriedly hid behind a black tree to avoid the attack of the giant spider, quickly shouted again...
"Everyone started shouting and running! Hurry up!!!"
After receiving Zhou Xu's order, all the tribal members, including Dashan, did not doubt it at all and quickly did as he said.
At that moment, the sound fluctuations coming from all directions really confused the big spider. For a moment, it hesitated on the spot, not knowing which way to go.
Seizing their chance, they swung their slings and attacked.
During this process, I don’t know if I pushed the big spider into a corner.
The big spider just stuck out its butt and shot out spider silk in one direction.
This attack was very sudden, and one of the tribe members was unable to dodge and was hit on the spot!
The tip of the spider silk seemed to have opened a small spider web, tightly binding his waist and abdomen.
Faced with this sudden situation, the tribe member was horrified on the spot and struggled to pull out the spider web that was entangled around him.
As a result, after grabbing it, he felt his hands become sticky, and his palms were actually stuck to the spider silk.
At the same time, the big spider that had successfully hit its target would not hesitate. Although its strength could not drag the rooted black tree, it could easily drag a person. A force that he could not resist at all came directly along the spider silk.
The tribe member pushed the ground with his feet desperately, but he could not change this reality.
At the critical moment, the two tribesmen who were closest to him rushed up and held him back. One of them seized the opportunity and chopped the spider silk directly with the stone axe in his hand.
However, the toughness of the spider silk was beyond their imagination. The edge of the stone axe was simply unable to cut the flexible spider silk. At the same time, the combined strength of the three of them was not enough to compete with the spider monster.
At this moment, looking at the spider monster that was getting closer and closer to him, a deep sense of powerlessness almost completely swallowed him up.
"Go, go quickly!!!"
Looking at the two tribal brothers who were still hugging him, the tribal member revealed a hint of determination in his sorrow.
If they don't leave now, all three of them will be dragged over!
In the blink of an eye between life and death, a flash of fire suddenly slipped out of their sight and hit the giant spider that was dragging them in the distance.
A torch! It's a torch!
The torch fell to the ground after hitting the big spider, but it did not ignite it. However, the invisible burning sensation it gave it obviously made the big spider panic.
At the same time, Zhou Xu tied another torch to the tip of the bone spear as quickly as possible, and rushed forward with the emergency homemade "fire spear" and roared!
