But Dui underestimated the elves' love for nature. The elves of Mirkwood have a close relationship with the forest and rely on the forest environment to survive. The forest is their home and shelter.
Therefore, the elves rarely even cut down trees, let alone choose to burn down large tracts of forest in order to eliminate giant spiders.
In addition to the elves, the brown-robed wizard Daregast also strongly opposed this suggestion.
As a Maia descendant of Yavanna, the goddess of plants, Daregast loves plants even more than the elves. For this reason, she even forgot her mission to come to Middle-earth and chose to stay in the forest with the company of plants and animals.
So I can't bear to see trees being harmed.
Seeing this, Dui gave up this suggestion with some regret.
Otherwise, you can just set fire to it and burn these giant spiders in a sea of fire, which is convenient and simple.
He was also confident that he could control the fire and prevent it from spreading outward.
However, the fire attack method did not work, so Dui simply tried a slightly more troublesome method.
"Your Majesty Thranduil, I have another way to force the giant spiders out, but it's a little risky. I wonder if you are willing to try it?"
"What method?" Thranduil asked curiously, knowing that Dui would not speak without purpose.
Dui took out a suitcase from the space bag.
"What's in here?" Thranduil frowned slightly.
He felt the breath of a dark magic creature from inside, a species he had never seen before, and it was extremely dangerous, making him feel his life was threatened.
"It's a creature I bred, called a basilisk," Dui explained. "Its eyes are dangerous. Ordinary creatures can't look directly into them, or they'll die. Even looking through a mirror will turn you to stone."
"There is such a creature?!" Thranduil was very shocked. Just by listening to Dui's introduction, he knew how dangerous this creature was.
Legolas, Arwen and others were also very surprised.
They had never heard Dui say that he had such a creature before.
"So if Your Majesty is willing to give it a try, I can send the basilisk out to force them out of the spider's lair. But before that, everyone needs to be alert and not look directly at the basilisk, otherwise I can't guarantee everyone's safety!"
Dui said very seriously.
Thranduil hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally agreed to Dui's method.
Then he immediately issued an order, telling everyone not to look directly at the basilisk, and explained the danger of the basilisk in advance.
After everyone was ready, Dui opened the suitcase and took a few steps back.
The next second, a huge snake head with a blood-red feather on its head emerged from the box space.
All the elves present except Dui, including Thranduil, closed their eyes.
However, even though they closed their eyes, the elves were still able to feel everything around them with their super perception.
Powerful and ancient elves like Thranduil can even perceive with their mental power, which is not much different from what they see with their eyes.
So in the perception of Thranduil and other elves, a green giant python that was ten meters long and as thick as an adult's torso crawled out of the box, emitting a powerful aura of black magic.
Dui did not close his eyes at this moment, because he had signed a "blood oath" contract with the basilisk Herpo, so the basilisk could not hurt him in any way.
So when the basilisk saw Dui, it would close its eyes on its own initiative.
The basilisk grew very fast, especially after eating the two giant spiders raised in the tower. Its size increased dramatically and was not far from its adult size.
Like other snakes, basilisks can sense their surroundings and catch and track prey by relying on their tongue, sense of smell and heat induction even with their eyes closed.
At this moment, the basilisk was very excited. It used its tongue to sense the air around it, and immediately slapped the ground with its tail excitedly.
"Master, I smell food! It's delicious food! (Snake language)"
Upon hearing this, Dui patted its head gently.
"Then go find your food, kill them with your eyes, force them out! (Snake language)"
Chapter 151 Spider Queen
In the ears of the elves, all they could hear was Dui and the basilisk communicating with a cold and slippery hissing sound.
Then the big snake crawled directly into the spider web passage as if it had received an order.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now!" Dui's voice rang in everyone's ears.
The elves then opened their eyes.
"What should we do next?" Legolas asked Dui.
Others also looked at him.
"Wait!" Dui replied.
"Herbo has already gone in. He will force the giant spiders out. We will then wait outside."
At the same time, the basilisk Herpo swam quickly in the spider tunnel.
"Delicious, I smell delicious food, where are you? The hunting time has begun! (Snake language)"
There are spider silk sensing lines set by giant spiders in the spider tunnel. When the basilisk Herpo swims inside, he is sensed by the giant spiders at the first moment.
The giant spiders suddenly became excited and quickly chased in the direction of the basilisk Herpo.
"Food is delivered to your door! (Spider language)"
For a moment, both sides regarded each other as food and approached each other at the same time.
The spider tunnels are interconnected. The basilisk followed the scent of the giant spider and came deep inside the spider's nest.
And just above it, a giant spider, also a top predator, was approaching it silently.
Just as the giant spider was about to spray spider silk to wrap around the big snake below.
The big snake instantly raised its head with a teasing and mocking look on its face.
"caught you!"
The giant spider above was preparing for a sneak attack, and its densely packed compound eyes instantly met the yellow eyes of the big snake.
The giant spider felt light and fluttery, and then was instantly killed without a trace, falling down helplessly.
Looking at the giant spider falling in front of him, the basilisk Herpo showed a greedy look and couldn't wait to open his mouth to swallow it.
But when it came to his lips, he stopped and shook his head.
"No, the master said to kill all the delicacies, you can't eat them now! (Snake language)"
Then he looked at the dead giant spider reluctantly, and continued to track other giant spiders.
In the following time, the basilisk Herpo fell into a hunting frenzy.
All the giant spiders it saw along the way were killed without exception.
The giant spiders originally didn't care about the ten-meter-long basilisk. After all, they had hunted animals that were larger than basilisks before.
But they didn't expect that this basilisk seemed to have a natural ability to restrain them. Its sense of smell was very sensitive, and no matter how they hid, they could not escape its tracking.
Also ignores their venom and illusion attacks.
Moreover, its body has strong defense and is slippery all over. Even spider silk cannot stick to it. It can drill around in the spider web as if it is in an empty space.
What’s even more terrifying is that anyone who looks into the basilisk’s eyes will die without exception!
It even creates a natural sense of biological oppression on them.
It was as if this big snake was born to be their nemesis and feed on them!
The giant spiders felt terrified and absurd.
They are the descendants of the evil god Ungoliant, how could they have a nemesis!
But the basilisk didn't care what they thought. It transformed itself into the god of death, killing gods and Buddhas who stood in its way. With its big yellow eyes wide open, it flirted with the giant spiders everywhere and sent them to heaven.
The giant spiders fled in terror, not daring to look the basilisk in the eye.
There was even a giant spider that was caught up and simply destroyed all the eyes that could not be closed, trying to avoid the basilisk's death eye.
Even without eyes, giant spiders can still move around by relying on the large number of sensitive hairs and sensory organs on their legs, so eyes are not the most important thing to them.
However, the giant spider's plan obviously did not go as planned.
Even though the basilisk's deathly eyes cannot threaten the blind giant spider, the basilisk still has deadly venom.
The venom of the basilisk is the most deadly poison in the world, which can kill creatures almost instantly. Even the most powerful wizards will find it difficult to survive if they do not receive special treatment in time.
Even the basilisk's venom is so corrosive and destructive that it can destroy even Horcruxes.
Except for the Phoenix's tears, almost all powerful antidotes cannot cure the basilisk's venom.
But in this world, there is no such species as the phoenix, so the venom of the basilisk is almost unavoidable.
Perhaps only Elrond, who possesses the Ring of Air, Via, the best healer in Middle-earth, can solve the basilisk's poison.
Anyone else who was poisoned by the basilisk's venom would surely die.
The basilisk quickly caught up with the giant spiders and bit them one by one. Just a drop of venom was enough to make the giant spiders fall down instantly and die.
The basilisk was killing everyone in the spider's nest and no one could stop it.
Many spiders fled in panic, trying to escape from the place where the basilisk existed, or even move out of the forest.
As a result, as soon as he came out of the spider's nest, he was faced with the elf army that had been waiting for a long time, and was pierced and killed by countless sharp arrows.
The basilisk was causing chaos inside, while the elves were waiting outside.
Every moment, giant spiders escaped from inside in panic.
It seemed as if the basilisk inside was more terrifying than the elves outside, so they would rather face the army of elves than the basilisk.
As the elves killed more and more giant spiders, the spider's nest was filled with hundreds of giant spider corpses.
Dui turned into a busy little bee, collecting venom while the giant spider was still alive, and then put the giant spider into the space bag.
It seems that he is not worried about the situation of the basilisk inside at all.
However, before Dui and the elves could continue to wait, the giant spider leader inside could not wait any longer.
A shrill hissing sound came from the giant spider's lair.
A gigantic spider burst out of its lair.
It was a giant spider that was bigger than a house. Its eight legs were like eight thick and sharp spears, covered with barbed spines, enough to tear a person into pieces easily!
