Chapter 578 - Incineration
If the spiders that had been burned to death were all incinerated, the ones that had been decapitated were rather miserable.
The first few that were dealt with were the spiders that had relatively shallow parasitic spots.
Klein discovered that two of them had already sunk into the flesh and blood, directly entering Macbeth"s body. At that moment, it was already very dangerous, and his life could be in danger at any moment!
He took the flint in his hand closer, so even if he touched Macbeth"s skin, he wouldn"t be able to do anything.
At that moment, Macbeth seemed to have received a huge shock. His body bounced up as he struggled to stand up.
His eyes widened in panic as he stared blankly at the two people behind him. It seemed like he had regained consciousness.
The immense pain and the burning of the flames made him feel somewhat at a loss.
Following that was a shrill scream, and Klein couldn"t help but frown when he heard it.
He turned to Macbeth and said, "Bear with it. If we don"t use fire, these things won"t come out. As long as they enter your organs, you"ll be finished. Don"t worry, the temperature of the fire isn"t high. It"s just making you feel a little uncomfortable!"
The flint was specially made and was a low-temperature flame. It wouldn"t burn quickly even if it touched human skin.
This was one of the reasons why Klein often brought it along.
Macbeth was already drenched in sweat. He could probably understand what Klein was saying, but his body couldn"t help but twitch.
Gray could only press tightly onto Macbeth"s shoulder, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"With your operational experience, how did you survive until today? This is simply inconceivable..."
According to Macbeth, this was his third time in this s.p.a.ce.
His luck had been pretty good during the first two times. He had been so careless and undisciplined, yet he had been able to escape unscathed. Who knew how many more people had been harmed?
At this time, the young man"s condition had already begun to ease, and the symptoms of poisoning had also gradually eased.
The Human-Faced Spiders that had entered deep into the flesh finally fell out. The spider that had been fed with blood looked abnormally fat.
Klein stepped on one of the spiders. The poor creature had finally left this adorable world after having a good meal.
At that moment, everyone"s hearts were finally at ease.
It was especially so for Macbeth. He felt much more relaxed as he lay on the ground, gasping for air. It took him a long time to recover.
He felt intense pain all over his body, but he knew that the two people before him had used every method possible to save him.
"Thank you. I didn"t expect these terrifying Human-Faced Spiders to have hidden skills. It"s simply inconceivable!"
Gray snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"Didn"t you say that you"re quite experienced? You even claimed to be in and out of here three times. I wonder if there might be terrifying parasites here?"
A look of embarra.s.sment appeared on Macbeth"s face. He looked embarra.s.sed before coughing softly. His voice was very weak as well.
"I"m indeed young and insensible. The two of you are adults, so can you not pursue the matter any further? I know that I lied to you before. It nearly cost you your life. I"m indeed very wicked. I guarantee that I"ll definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new person in the future!"
Macbeth wanted to continue speaking, but Klein couldn"t bear to hear it.
He hurriedly poured the medicine in his hands to treat his external injuries onto his back and hastily bandaged it.
Perhaps he had hit him harder, but Macbeth felt a piercing pain and couldn"t help but wail.
Klein reached out and patted Macbeth on the shoulder. "It"s been handled properly. You won"t die anytime soon. If you"re heavily injured, I suggest that you find a place to rest and stop moving!"
As he said this, Klein began packing up his medical supplies. Macbeth struggled to sit up and then gave Klein a formal apology.
He had just propped up his hands when he fell back down again with a plop.
Macbeth sighed and said, "I also want to find a place to recuperate. In my current situation, even getting out is a problem!"
Putting aside the fact that he could only get out by crossing a river, Macbeth"s current situation meant that his wounds couldn"t be touched by water. He could only recuperate in this G.o.dforsaken place.
This was indeed not a place where he could recuperate in peace. Who knew how much danger was hidden within!
He was certain that the two seniors definitely couldn"t abandon a young man like him.
Gray was a little anxious. "You"re still clinging to us? You"re so clumsy. You could cause trouble at any moment. Bringing you along is a burden. Don"t expect the two of us to be able to bring you out!"
At this moment, a dejected look appeared on Macbeth"s face.
"A good person should be a good person to the end. Leaving someone behind in such a situation is no different from murder!"
...
After Klein tidied up all his items, he sighed softly.
That"s right. Leaving someone here without any supplies meant that they wouldn"t last long.
"Furthermore, we don"t know when danger will be approaching. Let"s bring him along. We don"t want to tarnish our reputation for revenge!"
Macbeth was quite excited. He knew that he had indeed met a good person today.
Although that Gray guy looked fierce, he had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Gray sighed, seemingly resigned to his fate. He lifted Macbeth up in his arms and carried him on his broad shoulders.
Gray was tall and big, and he was indeed stronger than Klein. Therefore, he shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Macbeth.
Although Macbeth was a little afraid of Gray, who had a bad temper, he was really afraid that he would be displeased and burn his skin with lightning.
However, lying on his shoulder, he still felt very at ease.
With such a burden on their shoulders, the two of them continued to search for the legendary key.
There seemed to be nothing to hide in the empty s.p.a.ce around them, and Klein was a little curious.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a slight movement coming from the shattered rocks.
He frowned slightly and immediately raised his vigilance.
Previously, he had learned from the system that the reason why the Human-Faced Spiders were able to fight in groups was because they had an absolute leader in their organization, the Spider King.
The Spider King was huge, and its attack power was several times that of other Human-Faced Spiders.
However, it definitely wouldn"t appear in a group battle. Instead, it would hide in a corner and command its underlings.
Klein burned the Human-Faced Spiders and deliberately observed them, but he didn"t discover the existence of the Spider King.
In other words, the treacherous Spider King should still be hiding in a corner.
Klein had thought that the fellow had escaped, but the tiny sound in front of him immediately alerted him.
Sure enough, the commotion under the rock grew louder.. Soon after, a yellowish-green object pushed the rock above its head open, revealing its ma.s.sive body. It was the legendary Spider King!
