Territorial Ruler: The Plants I Planted Are Alive! - Chapter 29
There were quite a few mining carts around, but not many had stock. There were only four or five left in total.
Jiang Chen pocketed them all and harvested quite a few ore-type materials.
“Iron 185x obtained, copper 65x obtained, mithril 32x obtained, elemental crystal 11x obtained, stone 387x obtained.”
This mine was a good place. Just picking up these few mining carts was already a worthwhile trip.
In addition, new materials had appeared in this batch of ore materials.
“The power source of magical technology, the necessary material to drive magical products.”
“Magical technology?”
“Regardless of whether this type of elemental crystal has attributes or not, it’s like a type of energy in this world. It’s a good thing that can be utilized in all fields.”
Jiang Chen knew what to do and continued to advance.
After advancing several hundred meters, there were no ore carts filled with minerals around.
At this moment, sparse spider webs began to appear on both sides of the walkway.
These spider webs occupied the corners of the tunnel.
In addition, Jiang Chen also saw a large oval egg that was about a meter tall with green spots.
This large egg had already hatched. There was a large gap at the top, and egg shells were scattered all around it.
In front, the first exit of the mine tunnel appeared. It seemed to be a large underground hall.
“Good heavens, I’ve entered the coiling Silk Cave.”
Redtooth beneath him suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
It hummed repeatedly.
Its front foot only stood still, unwilling to advance any further.
He seemed to be quite wary of the underground hall ahead.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to speak and was so anxious that he was spinning in circles.
“Parker, bring two men to the front to take a look at the situation.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and arranged for the wolf cavalry soldier to act as scouts. He could already confirm that a portion of the mine had already been occupied by some spiders.
Since they were able to make Redtooth extremely wary, they could also pose a serious threat to Jiang Chen.
What’s more, these spiders had obviously been entrenched here for a long time and had long since spread their branches and leaves.
If his luck wasn’t good, he might even be able to meet three generations of their descendants…
Parker rode on the giant wolf and carried a torch as he received the order.
Two figures moved forward quickly under the light of the fire.
The spider webs on both sides of the tunnel along the way began to grow more and more.
Some of the spider webs were damaged, and strands of them drooped down to one side, blowing up as the wolf cavalry soldier passed by.
After entering the hall, Jiang Chen could faintly see through the firelight that the entire hall had been roughly divided into two sections: left and right,
the right side was covered with cobwebs, densely packed, and almost completely blocked off half of the hall.
The other side was slightly more refreshing.
Parker walked around the hall once, but didn’t act rashly and quickly retreated back.
He reported the situation to Jiang Chen, “Your lordship, there are two different passageways in the hall ahead, one on the left and one on the right.”
“The hall on the right is almost covered in cobwebs, and there are many traces of battle in the hall on the left. In addition, large amounts of bones and scattered weapons and equipment have been discovered.”
“Some are from humans, and some seem to be from other humanoid creatures.”
Parker rode the giant wolf and reported in a serious manner.
Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Humanoid creatures?”
He hated these forked paths the most.
However, it was still normal for the paths to split in such an ancient mine.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and pointed to the end of the mine path.
He patted Redtooth’s head lightly.
The group advanced once more.
The atmosphere began to tense up.
In such a dark mine, one could feel an infinite amount of pressure.
Jiang Chen could feel the muscles on Redtooth’s back gradually tense up.
This was a sign of extreme nervousness.
Redtooth was a level seven blood-fanged tiger and was practically an overlord amongst his peers. However, he was extremely fearful of the interior of the mine. It was obvious that he had suffered a bit before.
When everyone stepped into the hall, they realized that the situation was more complicated than they had expected.
The entire floor of the hall was covered with a layer of spider webs.
These spider webs were very tough.
When everyone stepped on them, they felt an additional layer of restraint under their feet.
The right side was even more terrifying. Everything was covered by the spider webs.
In addition, there were many corpses. These corpses were very complete. After being covered, they formed strange bumps.
What a spiderweb nest!
It was even scarier than a horror movie.
Just as everyone was observing, sounds of fighting and screams came from the left side of the hall, the side of the tunnel that hadn’t been completely covered by the spiderweb.
“Bang!”
“Hiss…”
There were occasional flashes of light and shadows in the tunnel. Everyone held their breaths and prepared themselves for battle!
“Be careful and be on guard. Pay attention to the top of your head.”
Jiang Chen surveyed his surroundings and raised his shield and sword. He wasn’t afraid of a frontal attack. His only worry was that he’d be ambushed!
The sounds of battle soon died down.
Following that, there were some strange and terrifying sounds of dragging and crawling.
Everyone turned their gazes to the left side of the hall.
They saw several dark shadows of different sizes appear from the left tunnel.
They’re coming, they’re coming!
Parker’s giant wolf seemed a little uneasy. It bared its teeth at the tunnel on the left side of the hall.
The shadows were getting closer and closer until they left through the left tunnel and entered the hall.
Three two-meter-tall monsters with eight-legged spiders on their lower bodies and humanoid monsters on their upper bodies slowly walked out.
Their huge bellies had strange patterns on them, and at the end, there was a huge spider web. It was bulging as if something was wriggling and struggling,
So this was the so-called spider monster.
In addition, there were a few small spiders that were only half of its height.
All the spider monsters had eight legs and a huge belly. Their upper bodies were like humans, they had a pair of arms.
The big spider monster had two arms holding two oddly-shaped single-edged swords.
The small spider monster held two sharp fangs like daggers. They had no nose on their faces, eight eyes lined up on both sides, and their mouths looked exactly like the jaws of a spider..
