Chapter 649 Shock!
"Maybe... because this is where those spiders feed?" Xie Wenjing said, her head lowered, somewhat uncertain.
Eating?
Yes!
The archaeological team members then suddenly remembered.
Those spiders that weave their webs so densely must need to eat, and since there are no other creatures in this sulfur cave, they must eat to survive.
Therefore, the area in front of this tunnel might be where those spiders gather to eat.
Think of this.
The archaeological team hesitated again.
They hadn't seen a single spider outside before, does that mean the spiders are all eating inside?
If the archaeological team goes inside, won't they also become food for those spiders?
“There are so many spider webs here! There must be a lot of spiders. With so many spiders over so many years, how much food must they have eaten? Is there enough food for them in this sulfur cave?” Jiang Liuli asked Xie Wenjing.
Xie Wenjing nodded. "If it were another cave, it might not be possible to raise so many spiders. But it's a sulfur cave, where many sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms and small insects are generated. These creatures have an amazing reproductive capacity, so it's not impossible to raise so many spiders."
That's indeed how the theory states.
However, the archaeological team members were still somewhat skeptical that the area in front of the tunnel could support so many spiders.
So they stopped caring about the danger.
I had to go inside and take a look.
Anyway, with Brother Qin An around, at worst we can just have him set fire to all these dense spider webs and burn them all down.
Think of this.
The group continued to follow Qin An, striding quickly into the depths of the tunnel.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—tick-tock—
Go deeper and deeper.
The louder and more frequent the dripping sound of the water droplets, the better.
When the archaeological team reached the end of the tunnel, they were shocked by what they saw.
spider.......
So many spiders...
The area in front should have been an open space of several hundred square meters, with a bronze door at the end, but now it is completely covered by spider webs.
The open space was covered with a dense network of spider webs!
The spiderweb was teeming with spiders, creating a scene of everyone stepping on each other.
And they were still crawling around feeding.
They all crawled toward the microorganisms and small insects caught on the spider web, looking from a distance like wriggling balls of flesh.
The scene was chilling.
If someone with trypophobia saw this scene... the height difference would make them faint immediately!
"vomit--"
Upon seeing those wriggling lumps of flesh, Wang Yanyan couldn't help but gag. Xie Wenjing quickly reached out and patted her back.
"She...she might have a bit of trypophobia."
Xie Wenjing felt very embarrassed, so she explained to the rest of the archaeological team.
Everyone understood.
Even those of them who don't have trypophobia felt a little nauseous and creeped out, but not to the point of dry heaving like Wang Yanyan did.
"Brother Qin An... what should we do?" Hu Jizhou asked, feeling a chill run down his spine as he looked at the dense swarm of spiders in front of him.
There's only one road in front of us.
Moreover, it is obvious that this road leads to the main tomb chamber of Chi You, and these spiders are the obstacles set up by the people who built Chi You's tomb.
"I'll go check if these spiders are poisonous. If it's really not working, I'll just have to set them and their webs on fire!" Qin An felt that these spiders and their webs weren't so easy to deal with, so he decided to check the quality of the spiders first.
Because they were afraid of stimulating the spiders that were feeding.
Qin An simply turned off the military flashlight above his head, using only the light from the archaeological team behind him to examine the spiders' shapes closely.
Qin An discovered that there were many of these spiders.
However, there are only two species, meaning that all these spiders here ultimately belong to only two types.
These spiders have very long legs.
From the outside, it looks a bit like a house spider and a wandering spider.
That's it?
Qin An frowned, finding it very strange.
The obstacles that appeared in Chi You's tomb were actually just house spiders and wandering spiders?
Isn't this right?
These two things... even if Qin An set fire to them and burned them all down, they could only rage helplessly.
I thought they might be some new poisonous species!
Is this the result?
But that's also a good thing.
It's possible that the people who built Chiyou's tomb didn't intend for these spiders to be a trap. It was just an accidental occurrence that these spiders, by feeding on microorganisms, grew to this extent.
After realizing it was just a false alarm.
Qin An also breathed a sigh of relief!
"You all need to leave this cave first. After I set fire to all the spiders and their webs, we'll come back in."
After realizing that these spiders posed no danger.
Qin An also made the decision to eradicate them completely!
"it is good!"
No one in the archaeological team had any objections.
They obediently prepared to leave the cave.
But at this moment.
Shao Wei suddenly let out a deafening scream!
"what--"
"Holy crap! That hurts like hell!"
He was yelling and slapping his own buttocks.
"Boom bang bang-"
After several pats.
Shao Wei, oblivious to everyone else, reached his hand into his pants.
After a while.
Shao Weicai stretched out his hand, but in his palm was a poisonous spider whose internal organs he had slapped out!
"You motherfucker..."
Eagle Eye saw the swarm of spiders feeding ahead startled and scattering to the sides along the dense spider webs, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"Squeaky-"
The dense swarm of spiders migrated across the spider webs like a tide, and the dark, fleshy balls quickly spread across the spider webs on both sides of the archaeological team.
"What are you waiting for? Run!"
Gu Yang quickly woke up the rest of the archaeological team who were still in shock, and then ran outside as fast as he could.
"Dududu-"
No sooner had Gu Yang run away than a large swarm of spiders pounced on the spot where he had just been standing.
Fortunately, Gu Yang ran fast!
Otherwise, his body would probably be covered with countless spiders by now, and even Qin An wouldn't know how to save him in that situation!
After all, if they burned those spiders, Gu Yang would also get burned.
The rest of the archaeological team were woken up by Gu Yang.
They all turned and ran outside!
No one cared about Shao Wei's injuries at all, and of course, now is not the time to care about that.
