Macbeth felt his scalp go numb. He did not expect that not only did he offend two malefactors, but he also had to rely on them to save his life at the critical moment.
He squatted on the ground and covered his ears with his hands. He did not dare to raise his head at all.
It was not until all the sounds had stopped that Macbeth raised his head tentatively. He found that the statues had become a pile of crushed stones and were scattered all over the ground!
Not a single one of the Human-Faced Spiders had been burnt to ashes. This made him finally feel at ease.
He struggled to stand up and began to flatter them.
"The two of you are simply too amazing. I didn’t misjudge you from the start. Being your lackey is a relief. You guys will definitely be able to bring me to victory, right?"
Gray snorted coldly and patted the dust off his hands.
"From the beginning, I said that you can follow us, but you can be considered a stranger in the same trade. We definitely won’t treat you as a companion. Give up on that thought!"
Then, he patted Klein on the shoulder and the two of them prepared to go near the stone platform to take a look.
Since the stone statues had been taken care of, there were no other obstructions around the stone platform.
Upon closer observation, the two realized that there was a groove shaped like a key in the middle of the platform. There were indeed a few words cut at the bottom.
However, it wasn’t in a language they were familiar with, so they couldn’t understand it at all.
Gray frowned slightly as he looked at the groove, which seemed to be a keyhole.
He asked, "Do we need to find the key and put it in this groove before we can open the platform?"
Klein nodded gently. "That’s right. This high platform isn’t a priest’s platform, nor is it used to store artifacts and holy objects."
It was basically a mechanism that had been created.
Just as the two of them were searching for the key, they heard a scream, followed by a plop!
The two of them were shocked. When they turned around, they saw Macbeth lying on the ground, his body convulsing non-stop. They didn’t know what had happened!
This young man shouldn’t have any chronic illnesses, right?
Klein frowned slightly. He didn’t know what Macbeth was up to again.
Indeed, one couldn’t lie. Once one lacked trust between people, the favor would naturally turn cold,
Klein and Gray both felt that Macbeth was clearly putting on an act to attract their attention, so no one took it seriously at the beginning.
But as the man’s body kept twitching, and it became more and more serious, Klein felt that things weren’t simple.
This young man was probably not faking it!
He reached out and patted his arm, pulling him over to check the situation.
Sure
Klein reached out and pinched Macbeth’s chin.
"How are you? What happened?! Can you still talk to me?!"
Klein first had to confirm whether Macbeth was still conscious and wanted to ask if he had any chronic illnesses.
If it was something like epilepsy, then there was no need for Klein to lend a hand. It would be fine once his body recovered.
However, Macbeth looked a little uncomfortable as his eyes widened in horror.
Although he was awake, he was unable to speak due to intense muscle spasms.
Klein’s heart stirred as he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly lifted up Macbeth’s back clothes, and sure enough, there was a bloody hole on it!
A few spiders were lying on his back, and they looked extremely terrifying!
Gray was taken aback. "Oh my god, I thought he was bluffing. I didn’t expect him to really be ambushed."
It turned out that when the two of them were dealing with the Human-Faced Spiders, they had unintentionally let a few of them go.
Klein didn’t think much of it at the time. He only felt that there was no need to care about the fish that had escaped.
What he didn’t expect was that these Human-Faced Spiders had a deep obsession with attacking people. Even if they escaped, they would search for their nearest prey.
Macbeth, who had been squatting with his hands on his head, was very unlucky. He became the target of these Human-Faced Spiders and they had quietly crawled into his clothes.
At first, Macbeth felt a little itchy, but he did not feel much pain.
It was because this Human-Faced Spider had lethal poison, and this lethal poison was like an anesthetic during surgery, which would paralyze the skin of a person first.
As long as the host didn’t take this slight paralysis seriously, they would quickly parasitize the flesh and blood of humans to obtain nutrients.
As time passed, symptoms of poisoning naturally began to appear.
Klein frowned slightly. It was obvious that Macbeth didn’t have such experience. He didn’t know how to dodge these terrifying parasites.
After the incident, he didn’t check if he was injured in time.
Helpless, Klein could only treat Macbeth’s wounds first.
"You really want to save him? Don’t forget how he treated you before. Isn’t it a little…"
Gray snorted coldly. He still had a great prejudice against Macbeth. From his point of view, he was a young man who was seeking his own death!
Klein sighed lightly and took out some emergency medical supplies.
"I’m not treating him as my companion. It’s just that under such circumstances, I can’t just stand by and watch. I can ignore whatever he did in the past, but I definitely can’t watch a young lad disappear in front of my eyes!"
As he said this, Klein took out all the first-aid equipment and asked Gray to help him.
These parasites would be very stubborn once they entered a person’s flesh and blood, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
If it was just a violent tearing, the consequences would be very serious.
At that time, the Human-Faced Spiders would form a tearing force with the person, and their muscles would be pierced even deeper.
Even if it was torn off, the young man’s entire back would probably turn into a pile of white bones.
The only way was to use fire to roast it.
These Human-Faced Spiders were clearly afraid of fire. Once they encountered high temperatures, they would immediately release their jaws and escape from this place.
Of course, true fire was absolutely not allowed. Otherwise, if the spiders were burned to death, Macbeth’s back would turn into a charred mess.
Klein searched his bag and found a flint that could be used to ignite a fire.
This very primitive igniter had basically been useless, but Klein had kept it on him in case of emergency.
He opened the flint and roasted it on Macbeth’s back.
Macbeth instantly felt a powerful heat flow through his body.
After being roasted by the high temperature, some of the terrifying Human-Faced Spiders loosened their jaws and fell from the young man’s back, preparing to escape.
Gray was quick-witted and slashed one at a time, not giving them any chance to escape.
The Human-Faced Spiders were all cut in half.
