MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 77 city of spiders
Latest URL: Things get complicated, in a way that can be confusing. Originally, Yoni was only here to perform a collection mission, to go to a dangerous place to collect some materials, and he might encounter aggressive beasts or other things. He was either lucky enough to escape unscathed, or unlucky to be buried here. There are only three components in this matter, Yoni himself, this spider web, and possible enemies.
Now, things are starting to change. When spiders can talk, you can no longer classify them as mere menacing creatures, let alone want to take you to meet another spider who has been dubbed a master.
The original collection task inexplicably turned into a contact with an unknown civilization settlement. The terrible thing is that Yoni is completely unprepared for this. He has not learned any relevant knowledge from anywhere, which is too far away from him.
Reality does not give people time to prepare. The mages of the City of Ten Thousand Laws have prepared for more than ten years in order to qualify themselves to wear robes. When they first walked out of the academy, a sudden robbery might make this A young man who was about to bring a new theory of magic to the world died in a dark alley.
Personal experience seems to me like a straight line, which goes straight from the starting point to the end point. Under some pessimistic fatalism, people have no possibility of escaping or changing the direction of the straight line. But even such a pessimistic view has to admit that not all straight lines in the world are parallel, and the irreversible fate of one person must have an impact on the fate of others, that is, the intersection and staggering of straight lines. In this way, an independent straight line cannot be established at all, and people are always affected by other things or others, so it is absolutely difficult to prepare for emergencies.
Having said that, when a completely unexpected vortex appears under your feet and pulls people unstoppably to the unknown, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid and at a loss. Youni wanted to jump off the spider's back more than once, it's best to smash through the spider web below and get out of this **** silk world.
But he knew that this impulse could not achieve the expected results. Where they passed, the spider silk became thicker, those thick and heavy spider silks were no longer rare, and the branches used as supports were no longer important. He could clearly feel that this place would not be completed by a group of spiders within a period of time. A certain sense of history infects outsiders from the complex spider web structure, telling him how long it took to complete this place. Finally into this shape.
If you think about it carefully, this is a group of spiders that can speak human language. God knows how long they have been entrenched here, and God knows what stage their civilization has reached. Yoni tried to distract himself from the fear by making himself think this way. Probably to take care of him, the eight-legged creature under him didn't move too fast, at least allowing him to see the surrounding scene clearly.
In addition to the cobwebbed branches and leaves, Yoni saw other things, some large white cocoons and smaller spiders crawling on them. It can be inferred from this that he has left the area where the cubs are, and now the spider he sees is obviously bigger and closer to maturity.
In their natural environment, these spiders are large enough to survive on their own and make everyone who sees them scream.
"Aren't we there yet? Where is the master weaver you mentioned?" Youni couldn't help asking, even though it inevitably made him eat a lot of spider webs. It may be a matter of routing, the nets that hit his face and body are not very sticky, closer to pure fabric.
"Don't worry, we have just begun to move into the city. Master, no, the masters all live in the center of Hive City, and they weave the web day and night, weaving everything we depend on."
Cities, these spiders actually have their own cities? This is absolutely shocking news. Not only did they not simply treat this place as a territory, but they also made a distinction between cities and non-cities. This is a behavior that only a very small number of intelligent creatures will have.
Like Gaka or Mogu people, although they have the concept of nests and settlements, because of the size of the territory and the degree of construction, cities do not exist in their concepts. The emergence of a city is much more than just a large agglomeration, it means something more, something more surprising.
In addition, the spider also mentioned that there is more than one weaving master, which is not surprising. In such a large-scale spider silk field, one cannot be counted on as the final consideration of weaving technology, otherwise it should not be called a master, but should be More unique titles such as king or queen.
"Everything? Are the webs here made by those masters?" Yuni's question brought a halt in movement, and the spider carrying him stopped, as if answering the question was too difficult to move forward.
"This is a complicated question. You are from beyond the thread, right? Then you should understand that our country is not static. The map is changing, sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking. The masters will determine the direction of the change, and they will lead the change. "After the spider finished speaking, he continued to walk on his own.
Reason and intuition told Youni at the same time that he shouldn't ask any more questions. The matter about the weaving master must have profound significance to these spiders. UU Reading www.uukanshu. It is normal for it to be unwilling or not clear about this aspect.
The apprentice fell silent, and instead focused on observing the surrounding scenery. He found that even though the spider webs were getting denser and denser, the light became brighter.
Not all spiders are nocturnal creatures, and some even can't see in the dark. The structure here is obviously designed to take care of them. Thin silk threads are deliberately made to transmit sunlight, and the funnel-shaped spiral skylight can even see to the sky outside. You can say it's weird here, but if you don't consider the road with sticky feet on the ground, it's not depressing. Even for humans, the living space of spiders is quite wide, mainly because they don't just live on flat surfaces. The entire spider silk space is a three-dimensional structure.
Youni's forward route is not straight, and many times he will follow the guide up and down among the many layers divided by the spider silk.
In the end, a large white worm nest with no borders could be seen occupying Uni's entire field of vision. It was like a castle made of clouds, completely different from the human buildings that were limited by plane and gravity.
"Here we are, this is Skloss, our city."
