Shen Tangtang’s lack of response made the old lady’s face instantly gloomy, “Tell me, what’s your name.”
The voice was so sharp that it almost broke her throat, causing Shen Tangtang and the surrounding players to feel tinnitus and dizziness.
"Damn! Kill this damn old woman! She just controlled so many players at once. She must be able to do more. Kill her!"
"Don't go into the house, look at my little fireball."
"Don't set the fire, brother. What if it burns again? I know what's going on. This old woman is not human, she's a spider spirit. I saw her controlling people just now."
"Damn, don't be stupid reading fantasy novels. How can there be a spider spirit that turns into a human?"
The players talked one after another, questioning the old woman's identity.
Seeing that these people did not take her seriously, the old woman suddenly tore off her skin and turned into a young and beautiful woman.
"A bunch of tactless guys, become my pets! Listen to me and kill them."
The voice was so charming and beautiful that it made some players with weak mental strength stop what they were doing, and with empty eyes and evil smiles on their faces, they attacked their companions around them.
"Damn it, brother, you have to be serious. Don't be fooled by this witch."
The surroundings were in chaos. Just now, only the players who entered the house were controlled. Now many players in the ancestral hall were also controlled and drew their swords to slash at their teammates.
Shen Tangtang watched this scene and used her psychic powers to observe the changes around her. She discovered that this ancestral hall was like a formation, and the center of the formation was the bed where the woman was sitting.
However, this formation is a remnant, and traces of energy, or more accurately, vitality, are continuously supplied to the woman from the people underground and the people she just controlled.
At this time, there was a rustling sound coming from outside the house, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Ah... lots of spiders, they bite people, they're poisonous..."
The player outside was the first to be attacked. Although he had special abilities, there were too many spiders and he was caught off guard and bitten.
The players in the room also heard what was happening outside. After killing several controlled players, everyone's attention turned to the woman in the room.
Apart from killing a few controlled players at the beginning, Shen Tangtang has been acting as a transparent person.
She felt that the woman in the room was very strange. She was just like the spider spirit a player had described before. There were black scales on the woman's arms, which looked like black hair floating around, and white silk threads were secreted from her belly button.
The players didn't dare to rush into the house directly. Anyway, everyone had superpowers. A fireball, an ice arrow, a golden knife... all the attacks were blocked by the spider spirit with spider silk. Only a few lightning superpowers penetrated the gaps in the spider silk and directly pierced the woman's belly.
The spider spirit's breath weakened for a moment, and she glanced at everyone with a sinister look. Then she laughed a few times, and her body suddenly deflated.
"Oh no, she escaped."
"Don't let her get away. This must be the dungeon boss. Kill her and the dungeon will be over."
"Damn, these insects and snakes have retreated..."
The player didn't care whether he would be controlled or not, rushed into the house, raised his hand and pulled, only to find a human skin in his hand.
Shen Tangtang followed the other players in. There was a strange smell in the room, and she didn't feel controlled. However, in her mental map, the spider spirit's energy body was no longer in this room, but 3 meters underground.
The more astute players among them have already lifted up the bottom of the bed, revealing a hole.
Everyone looked at each other, and then rushed to jump down the cave.
Shen Tangtang didn't argue with them, but just retreated silently.
She subconsciously looked at the boy who was also retreating, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
The boy didn't notice that someone was looking at him, but instead backed away faster and faster, almost running out of the room.
Shen Tangtang did not run out like him, but teleported outside the ancestral hall and stepped on a pile of freshly dead snakes and insects.
These insects and snakes are left with only a layer of skin. When you step on them, they become crispy and make a teeth-grinding sound.
Their flesh, blood and vitality were absorbed by the cocoon beneath the ancestral hall.
This small Jurchen village is covered with spider silk. I used to think that there were many snakes and insects, so it was reasonable that there were more spiders. But now it seems that all this was expected by the spider spirit.
The night wind blew, carrying with it a damp, fishy smell.
The player who just jumped into the hole is in great danger.
Shen Tangtang opened the player forum and saw that only 28 players were online, and the other players were either dead or had passed away.
Observing the players who also retreated outside, only 5 people ran out. The crowd just now all volunteered to be the food of the spider spirit.
In fact, it’s not that the psychics are useless. Creatures like spider spirits are a new species that no one has ever seen. Not having seen it means not understanding it, so it is not clear how spider spirits control players and make them attack their own kind.
"It's spider silk. Spider silk contains anesthetic toxins that can control the player's brain nerves. It can also give orders to the controlled player to attack the nearest person."
A familiar voice sounded nearby. It was the player who first said it was a spider spirit.
Shen Tangtang also looked over. The man was wearing a black combat uniform, half of his face was covered by a black cloth, his eyes were as beautiful as glass, and his eyebrows were sharp.
There was a familiar feeling when looking at this man, but she was sure she didn't know him.
The man was explaining something to his companion next to him, which also made it convenient for the players around him who knew nothing about it. They all gathered around and asked questions.
Finally, the players collectively came to a conclusion that they could not go down the cave to look for the spider spirit because now was its critical moment, so the cave was filled with nets.
Players who had previously obtained strategy information also added that the reason why the Jurchen village became so popular online was that the village chief deliberately bribed the internet celebrity. This was because the spider spirit needed a lot of meat during its breakthrough, and the Jurchen village did not want its own people to die, so they tried to trick outsiders into coming and dying.
In the east, there is a forest filled with white bones, which are the corpses of several groups of tourists who came here to visit.
Shen Tangtang thought of what happened before. A villager scolded her not to enter the woods, probably because he was afraid that she would discover the situation.
But she had seen it a long time ago. Before the villagers came, she walked around the forest and found a total of 886 complete corpses, except for scattered bones.
There was no trace of flesh and blood on the corpse except for the rotten clothes. Insects and snakes were climbing on the corpse at will, making happy sounds.
There are also living people hidden in the villagers' cellars. This small Jurchen village is really popular on the Internet. People keep sending them to the Internet, and their disappearance did not alarm Facebook.
When Shen Tangtang was walking back, she found a large group of villagers holding torches and heading towards the ancestral hall.
