The Hitzfeld Mysteries

Page 235

In the last second she thought that the behavior of these two people was not normal, but in the next second she realized that she was asking too much of them.

Taking photos and being there in person are completely different.

By taking photos, she can observe all the information that the parties involved may have overlooked. However, when the parties involved observed this information, they might have only glanced at it – Johnny’s vision probably couldn’t even see through the shadows above, so naturally he couldn’t find the spider web.

Hitzfeld felt a pulling force. The next moment, her perspective was pulled back from the ice crystal spider web to Johnny, staring at a deep tunnel with him.

“Have you ever been this deep before, Johnny?” Okara asked to give himself courage.

“Never…” Johnny’s voice was also shaking, “Those people have always guarded every cave very strictly. No one can come in except themselves and those tall men.”

“Johnny.” Okara was silent for a while. “Why do you think they are looking for so many tall people?”

“How should I know?” Johnny replied irritably.

If it was before today, he, who had not learned the secret from Okara, would definitely think like everyone else that the city hall and the parish recruited tall men because they were strong, healthy, and could better undertake mining work.

But now? He kept thinking about Okara’s imitation of the dialogue.

From the information revealed in that conversation, the cryolite veins that made Orvot rise and become the most wonderful art city in the whole of Sara did not exist at all. They seemed to be made in some way, and this way required finding enough people with a height of nearly 2 meters to pick the fruit.

Cryolite veins…tall men…picking fruits…possible cave dwellers…there are too many things mixed up in this matter, and most of them cannot be connected.

He simply couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“…”While these two people were talking, Hitzfeld was really worried for them.

Because she could see clearly from her OB perspective, above the two of them, at the top of the cave covered by shadows, two terrifying monsters were quietly following them.

This is a giant spider monster.

The entire body is about two meters long from head to tail, and the hard shell covering the entire body appears light purple even in dim environments.

Then they should be dark purple when hit by sunlight.

They had sharp claws and mouthparts. The back of their armor was covered with countless dark tumors that looked like follicles. They followed the two humans like assassins in the shadows, and every move they made was silent.

Is this the power of the spider web?

Hitzfeld immediately saw the reason – the top of the cave along this entire section of the road was covered with a thick layer of spider webs. The spider monster could move freely on the spider webs, and at the same time, the huge continuous web bag could wrap up all the sand and dust that fell due to its movement.

Okara won’t die here.

She couldn’t help but look at the “talent” with pity in her eyes.

Obviously this was Johnny’s memory. Since Johnny could tell this story while sitting in that dilapidated pub decades later, he undoubtedly survived.

As for Ocala…

If the only dangers in the cave were these two spider monsters, he might still have a chance of survival.

But Hitzfeld also heard the conversation Okara had simulated earlier.

He didn’t see what it was that was talking to “Rude”, did he?

If everything is really as she thought, then the secrets buried in Orvot… this city will definitely not be lower in reading level than the golems in Blackwood City. At least level six, or even level seven.

Hitzfeld…thought that what she had to do next was to watch everything happen from a bystander’s perspective and see if it was consistent with her guess.

But the whispers in her ears made her expression change.

Well…she doesn’t even have a body right now, so there’s no such thing as “her face changed color,” but that’s pretty much the idea.

She was shocked.

“Gada…living people…gada gada gada…living people who don’t follow the rules…”

“The smell of flesh and blood… gada gada… I want… I want to eat it…”

I–

Hitzfeld was horrified.

Can I understand what these two spider monsters are saying?

How did I do that?

Don’t understand…

I totally don’t understand…

“Whisper of the Void” was something very familiar to her, that’s right.

The closer it got to bedtime, the more exhausted she became mentally, and the more random whispers she could pick up from the void.

This is true.

But, at least they are just human whispers, right?

Why can I understand the language of spiders now?

Is this also an ability that comes with the left eye?

“Gada gada… Should I report this to Atla…”

“Gada gada… They might be our allies… Gada gada… They are all quite tall…”

The conversation between the two giant spiders continued.

Faced with this situation, Hitzfeld quickly put aside why he could understand such things and concentrated on memorizing and analyzing the content of the conversation.

Who cares why you can…

This is definitely a stroke of luck… Of course, I’ll listen to it first!

The two spider monsters are very interesting.

As he listened, Hitzfeld was also learning.

The way they communicate is by tapping their mouthparts gently, making a rhythmic, slight collision sound…this sound is their language.

This is also why the conversations that Hitzfeld heard contained a lot of “gada gada”.

They had a very small vocabulary, and Hitzfeld quickly mastered the rules with his natural gift for language.

Now, as long as she could hear this “gada gada” sound, she could guess roughly what it was, even without her left eye to help her translate.

“Gada… no need!”

The spider monster on the left retorted fiercely.

“They are allies… Atla will remind us when they come… Gada Gada… There is no reminder now… They are not allies…”

“Gada gada…that makes sense…gada…then…eat them…”

“That’s right… Gada Gada… Then go and guard… the Ice God Tree…”

Ice God Tree?

Hitzfeld was stunned.

Then the next second, Johnny and Okara, the two humans, suddenly screamed, both stepped on empty air, and fell into a narrower and deeper ice crystal tunnel.

Hitzfeld: @#¥%…#*!

The perspective of the Memory Fruit is bound to Johnny.

Less than two seconds after Johnny slid down, the familiar pulling feeling came again, forcing her to the same perspective, which was no less than letting her experience falling into an ice cave firsthand.

“Boom!”

The two men slid out of two adjacent branching entrances of a tunnel, cursing and shouting about their bad luck, while struggling to reach for the oil lamp that had slipped out of their hands.

The oil lamp fell three meters away from them, with a little flame still inside.

Johnny pulled up the oil lamp and checked it to make sure it was not damaged in the collision.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned on the oil lamp and released more fuel into the pool at the bottom.

Bear!

A cluster of bright yellow flames about seven or eight centimeters high rose up, illuminating the surrounding environment.

“this……!”

“This is–“

Not only Johnny and Okara had their eyes wide open.

Even Hitzfeld was amazed by what was unfolding before his eyes.

They are surrounded by eggs.

Each egg is as tall as a rattan chair. If you are close, you can even see the things wriggling inside through the thin membrane on the surface of the follicle because of the light.

The curled up insect body.

Eight claws holding together.

The mine guard who accidentally entered this place completely changed his expression.

Hitzfeld saw more than they did.

This is an empty ice crystal cave. The interior space is huge, enough to be comparable to half of a stadium.

There is a deep pit in the middle of it, and at the top of the higher section of the pit, a crystal clear tree grows on a cliff-like position.

The spider monster’s egg follicles spread from in front of the two people to the end of the field, forming a “hatching circle” around the edge of the field.

At least two hundred larger spider monsters came out of the deep pit carrying more follicles and placed them in the incubation circle.

From time to time, spider monsters would tear open their follicles and be born from farther away, communicating with the big spider monster by touching their mouthparts.

The surrounding walls and the ground were covered with huge spider webs.

In fact, Johnny and Okara are already caught in a spider’s web.

They were struggling, trying desperately to free their feet from the spider web.

But it didn’t work.

This web, which looked like it was carved from ice crystals, also had strong stickiness. Instead of succeeding, they shook the entire web, causing it to shake, which immediately attracted the attention of the spider monster army.

Giant spiders with hideous faces surrounded them from all directions, and the two people were so scared that they hugged each other and trembled.

Just when they thought they were doomed, the entire cave shook quietly.

Hitzfeld’s mouth twitched.

I saw a super giant spider about four meters tall crawling out of the deep pit.

Chapter 41: Ice Dust Disaster 4

“stranger……”

The giant spider let out a sigh that sounded almost like a whisper.

As soon as it showed up, the other spider monsters all retreated, like subjects facing their king, not daring to overstep the line.

“This…this voice!” Okara was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into a scream: “Is it you?”

“The thing that was negotiating with Rude at that time…was it you? Oh damn, my goddess mother–“

“It’s me… My name is Atla… A humble believer who is still atoning for his sins…”

The giant spider Atla moved closer, forcing the two men to the edge of the wall, and his body was almost covered with spider webs.

“Answer me… stranger… why did you intrude into the territory of the supreme Atlach-Nakea believers… I don’t remember Rude mentioning you to me…”

“Oh, he actually mentioned that.” Okara rolled his eyes and lied directly: “He said he wanted us to come get the stuff.”

“Take something…” The giant spider’s face suddenly moved closer. Its eight black eyes and its interlaced, smelly mouthparts that pulled out sticky silk scared the two men so much that they trembled.

“Right—” Okara kicked Johnny hard and continued to be stubborn: “What kind of fruit it is… I don’t know… but we agreed… You should give us the thing and let us go back.”

“Yes! That’s it!” Driven by the desire to survive, Johnny suddenly came up with a quick idea: “I dare to guarantee in the name of Goddess Jiyang that everything he said is true. We are indeed Mr. Rude’s employees, absolutely genuine!”

“Hahahaha…” A low laugh came from the giant spider’s mouth.

“Such a clumsy lie, do you think a ‘monster’ like me… huh? Looks easy to deceive…”

“It’s not…”

“Liar!” The giant spider roared suddenly, opened its mouth, and the fishy wind it blew out made the two people’s hair dance wildly.
