The Spider Cave is indeed the place where spider-like monsters and some spider-like monsters live.
Several large mountains nearby have been hollowed out, like an endless hornet's nest, which looks both creepy and terrifying. There are holes of all sizes on them, and the passages inside are even more complicated. Once you enter, it is very easy to get lost.
Taylor also keenly felt that some of these caves, which were as densely packed as a hornet's nest, were extremely hot, especially those caves at the foot of the mountain that slanted towards deeper areas, which must be inhabited by spider monsters with fire attributes.
This is also due to his secondary fireball.
Taylor walked to a seemingly narrow cave entrance. He first looked around, then made a few simple traps and placed homemade fire explosion potions under the traps to prevent people or monsters, magical beasts and other strange things from disturbing him.
Then Taylor took out a small blue bag from his canvas bag. After squeezing it, the scattered blue powder floated around as if it had lost gravity, and soon a blue line appeared at the entrance of the hole.
This is the reconnaissance powder recorded in the book Basic Knowledge of the Wizard Apprentice. The color of this powder can be adjusted at will. Its characteristic is that it is almost weightless and can detect many tiny traps. It has no smell and is very effective in capturing spider-like monsters.
Reconnaissance powder is an all-powerful nemesis for spider-like monsters that have not yet reached a certain level. No matter how sensitive spiders are, they cannot detect this almost weightless powder attached to their silk threads.
Only spider monsters that have reached a certain level can sense abnormalities on the spider web through their own keen perception.
After discovering the blue spider silk, Taylor immediately left the cave, caught an ordinary rabbit from outside, broke its legs and threw it directly onto the spider silk.
(Note: Spider-type monsters have no color vision before they advance to a higher level, and their eyes have partial defects.) After about three to five minutes, a spider with 16 eyes slowly crawled out of the hole, looked at the rabbit, then looked around, but did not bite it. Instead, it shrank back and continued to wait.
Hiding in the bushes, his body covered with leaves, leaving only his two eyes exposed, Taylor observed carefully in the dark, thinking that this spider monster was indeed cunning.
He also recognized what species of spider this special spider was, as it had 16 eyes, more than the average spider.
In the Warcraft chapter of the Wizard Apprentice Basics, this type of spider is called the Multi-eyed Spider.
Although this spider has twice as many eyes as other spider monsters, it only has four main eyes like other spider monsters.
There are four other small eyes growing around the four main eyes, which are responsible for auxiliary tasks. There are also eight eyes on its limbs and tail for multi-faceted observation.
Although this type of spider monster has many eyes, the only special effect it brings is a wider field of vision and greater difficulty in catching them. Their real characteristic is that the spider silk they spray is very strong, comparable to steel.
The target this time was a bit cunning, and was even waiting for something, but Taylor believed that the other party would definitely take the bait.
As expected by Taylor, after a while, several spider legs suddenly stretched out, moving the rabbit from time to time, or spraying some spider silk to explore the movements around.
Although the multi-eyed spider was cunning, it was not a human being after all and did not have the wisdom of a human being. So, under the temptation of the rabbit with broken legs struggling at the entrance of the cave, it finally couldn't help but rush out and eat the rabbit in one bite.
Ten minutes later, Taylor felt that the time was about right. The rabbit had been digested, and the hallucinogens and drugs placed in the rabbit's body should have taken effect.
He picked up a stone and threw it towards the blue spider silk. After waiting for a while, the multi-eyed spider did not come out. Taylor felt relieved and immediately stood up and walked into the cave.
After entering the cave, Taylor was covered by a reddish barrier, which was the effect of the witchcraft prop, the Fire Medal, he carried with him. A black mist lingered in one of his hands, and a small fireball floated in the other.
You must be prepared for everything. You must ensure that if you are attacked you can return fire in time, block the enemy's sight, and escape calmly.
The light red cover emitted a bright red light, illuminating the surrounding roads and the bumpy path ahead. He also noticed that the walls of the cave were all hung with spider silk, with large and small objects entangled on the silk, some of which were even bones or corpses.
When he reached the back half of the cave, Taylor also found the corpse of a lower-level magical beast, the Stone Armored Wild Boar. Now only a large piece of skeleton was left, with some mucus and broken spider silk hanging on it.
Walking to the skeleton and picking up a bone to probe, Taylor did not find the magic core of the wild boar. It was probably already in the stomach of the multi-eyed spider.
Alas...what a waste.
He sighed in his heart. In the eyes of wizards, magic cores have many uses. They can be used as energy sources, made into witchcraft props, made into nodes or gain nodes of witchcraft arrays, etc. At the very least, engraving a few witchcraft runes on them and using them as disposable grenades is better than letting the monsters eat them directly.
Given the multi-eyed spider's absorption rate, it is impossible for it to fully utilize this magic core.
After walking about ten meters forward, Taylor finally saw the sleeping multi-eyed spider.
At this time, the multi-eyed spider's 16 eyes were all half-open and half-closed, and its body was twitching or struggling unconsciously. The dose of medicine Taylor gave this time might be a bit too much, which might have caused the poor spider to fall into some kind of more terrifying illusion.
Looking at the twitching multi-eyed spider, Taylor had a blank expression on his face. He found the spot two centimeters below the back of the spider's head and took out a small knife and stabbed it into the nerve center at that location.
Although the multi-eyed spider is a relatively low-level spider-like monster, its shell, magic core, fluff, venom (which is better than nothing), spider silk sacs, and eyes are all very valuable materials for current wizard apprentices.
Therefore, Taylor did not want to completely destroy the corpse. He just cut off the nerve center of the multi-eyed spider as written in the book, so that the multi-eyed spider could be kept alive while keeping its internal organs, spider silk sacs, shells, hairs and all other usable parts as fresh as possible.
The new book is launched. I hope all readers will promote it and collect it. I sincerely ask everyone to give more recommendation votes. Thank you.
