Siege of the Giant Spider of Mount Taibai (Modern Story)

Siege of the Giant Spider of Mount Taibai (Modern Story)

Lin Zihao is a famous entomologist. He spent his life building an insectarium in the beautiful HuangshiGang. The Entomological Hall displays specimens of insects from all over the world, most notably two living specimens– the King Baboon Spider and the Golia Giant Spider, two giant, world-class venomous spiders. 

Lin Zihao and his student Ge Yibing risked their lives to capture the two giant spiders in the rainforest of the Amazon River Basin. Anti-venom serum was extracted from them and KT-A and KT-B antitoxins were successfully developed, thus making Lin Zihao rank among the world's top entomologists. 

However, Professor Lin was not satisfied. Because, the baboon king spider and the goliath giant spider are both extraterritorial species, and both giant spiders are extraterritorial species, and both giant spiders are females, if you can catch a male spider that matches the female spider in the country and breed their offspring, it will be a miracle that shocks the world! However, Professor Lin's long-cherished wish has not been realized for a long time. 

Just when Professor Lin was at a loss, the Taibai Mountain Forestry Bureau called and said that they had found a spider larger than the washbasin in the oxback beam, and asked Professor Lin to come and investigate. Lin Zihao immediately pushed away all the socializing, pulled up the student Ge Yibing, and went up to the Taibai Mountain. 

Taibai Mountain is the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of 3767 meters, and it is still a virgin land with little attention. 

On that day, three forestry workers patrolled the primeval forest, when they suddenly saw a spider the size of a washbasin jumping out of the forest next to the road, holding a pheasant, and crawling quickly toward the hillside, and in the blink of an eye, there was no trace. 

A 15-man expedition searched the area where giant spiders were infested, carpet-like. On this day, Wang Yu, a forestry worker, found a wild boar that died suddenly in Erdaogou. 

Professor Lin and Wang Yu quickly rushed to Erdaogou, where Ge Yibing and a few others were already there. Ge Yibing said: "The wild boar has been hit by a strange poison, which I have tested on the spot, and this poison is more powerful than the poison of the African baboon king spider." ” 

Professor Lin saw Ge Yibing's test results and said in surprise, "It's a new toxin!" Maybe it's the monster of the giant spider. "However, after they dissected the wild boar, there was not a trace of the spider in its esophagus and stomach. Professor Lin and Ge Yibing were confused: Is the death of the wild boar unrelated to the giant spider? But where does the venom in the boar come from? Is it a king cobra? Is it a pit viper? Absolutely impossible, because wild boars are the masters of destroying poisonous snakes! Professor Lin and Ge Yibing were confused... 

That night, they camped and rested in the Red River Valley. In the morning, Ge Yibing asked two workers to stay and take care of Professor Lin, who had accidentally suffered a leg injury, and the rest of the people were divided into two groups, one led by Wang Yu, to search south; Ge Yibing took a group of his own and searched north. Ge Yibing begged for the spider, leaving the few people who followed far behind and walking alone in front. 

Suddenly, he found that more than ten meters ahead, a giant spider larger than the washbasin was biting a fat weasel. Ge Yibing could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart and crept closer to the giant spider. 

He held the insect trap in his hand high, only to find that the net funnel of the insect catch was much smaller than the body of the giant spider, and it was too late to replace it, so Ge Yibing took off the long-sleeved cloth shirt on his body, propped his hands apart, and walked forward, trying to catch the giant spider with a cloth shirt with lightning speed. However, as he walked up, the giant spider suddenly rubbed its abdomen desperately with its hind legs. Ge Yibing suddenly woke up: he made a fatal mistake, ignored the common sense when catching large poisonous spiders, and pushed himself into a dangerous situation. Ge Yibing's eyes began to ache severely, like a red-hot steel braze, piercing in inch by inch, through his eyes, piercing his brain... 

It turns out that this giant poisonous spider, when it desperately rubs its abdomen, can release thousands of hairs in an instant, hurting any species within 10 meters. Once encountered by humans and animals, it will not only damage the skin system and respiratory system, but also easily cause blindness. The wild boar that died suddenly in Erdaogou was poisoned by the fluff released by the giant spider. Ge Yibing forgot his mentor's teachings in a hurry, and only then did he follow in the footsteps of the wild boar... His eyes were pitch black, the skin on his body was slightly numb, and after he tried his last bit of strength to make a cry for help to his companions, he lost consciousness...

The companion who rushed to catch up saw Ge Yibing fainting on the ground, so frightened that he did not dare to come closer, he hurriedly carried Professor Lin from the tent. Professor Lin had examined and found that Ge Yibing had been hit by a poison that had never been seen before, and this poison was exactly the same as the poison in a wild boar. Professor Lin did not dare to be idle, and immediately injected Ge Yibing with KT-B anti-virus agent. 

After 10 minutes, Ge Yibing's breathing tended to flatten; after 20 minutes, he was awake. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Zihao asked Ge Yibing what was going on. Ge Yibing briefly recounted the past. 

Professor Lin was stunned to hear this: "This is the same as the goliath giant spider firing fluff and hurting people!" How did you not think of this? Ge Yibing said remorsefully, "I was negligent... I...... sorry...... old...... Master..." His breathing became weak again. Professor Lin gave him a KT-B number. However, the KT-B, which was extremely toxic, also failed to prolong the life of Ge Yibing. Ge Yibing left his mentor with deep regret... 

Professor Lin buried his student Ge Yibing in the cemetery of the Insect Hall in grief, and after his broken leg was able to walk on the ground, he climbed Mount Taibai for the second time despite the strong persuasion of his family and disciples. 

This time, Professor Lin equipped the 13 workers and himself with gas masks and gas suits. 

However, after running around in the primeval forest for more than a month, the mysterious and insidious Taibai Mountain giant spider just did not appear. The workers seem to have lost patience, and Wang Yue is a young man with an anxious personality, and he is even more impatient. 

This evening, the expedition set up tents in the canyon and prepared to spend the night. Wang Yu took off his gas mask and gas suit and went to the rocks to facilitate it. Just then, a giant spider appeared, and the tiger swooped at him... Wang Yue was frightened, but fortunately he had the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger in a panic. Although the giant spider is mighty, how can it withstand such a shot? After a few struggles, he fell to the ground and died. Watching the spooky and terrifying poison violently die on the ground, Wang Yu came back from the terror. 

Professor Lin rushed over to hear the gunshots and conducted an on-site test on the dead spider. It turned out that this was a female giant spider! 

I didn't catch a live giant spider, but getting a spider corpse was also a major gain for Professor Lin. He intends to take the dead spider back to the insect hall for a detailed toxic analysis. But that same night, Wang Yu died inexplicably! 

Wang Yu's death was not discovered until the next morning. At that time, everyone was packing up their tents and preparing to withdraw to the base camp, but Wang Yu was lying there motionless. The workers thought he was snoozing and didn't alarm him. But when the tent was finished, Wang Yu was still lying there, and everyone went to pull him, but they couldn't pull it up. Take a closer look and you'll find out he's dead! 

The crowd panicked and hurriedly called out to Professor Lin, who was collecting insect specimens in the distance. Professor Lin hurried back, inspected Wang Yu's whole body, and found two rows of strange tooth marks in the palm of his right foot. Professor Lin immediately took a drop of Wang Yu's blood and tested it. It turned out that Wang Yu had been poisoned, and this poison was the kind of poison in Ge Yibing... Professor Lin was puzzled: the giant spider is dead and will not hurt people again, but how can there be bite marks on Wang Yue's feet? This shows that there is also a giant poisonous spider activity nearby... Professor Lin panicked and said to everyone impatiently, "Evacuate here quickly!" Wang Yu was bitten to death by a poisonous spider! When the crowd heard this panic, they immediately lifted up Wang Yu, carried the tent, and withdrew down the mountain... 

Wang Yu is a temporary worker employed by the Forestry Bureau, and his family members are buried according to local customs. The Forestry Bureau made a coffin for him, and after the coffin was ready, it was buried in Wang Yu's body, escorted by four people, and returned to his hometown of Huangshiling for burial. Huangshiling is not far from the Huangshigang Insect Hall, and Professor Lin also took his disciples to mourn.

The Wang family cried out, and the relatives wanted to witness Wang Yu's remains for the last time. However, when the lid of the coffin was opened, a giant spider popped out of it. The crowd fled in fright, but the giant spider jumped easily, climbed onto the roof, and left in an instant. 

Everyone saw that the giant spider did not hurt anyone, and only then did they settle down, but when they saw Wang Yu in the coffin, they were completely unrecognizable - his face was full of sores, and his abdominal cavity was torn, and the miserable situation was unbearable to see... Professor Lin said sadly: "It seems that Wang Yu killed a female spider, and its kind came to take revenge, and if I am not mistaken, this vengeful spider is a male, that is, it is the husband of the female spider." From the analysis of its behavior that did not harm the people just now, its target was only Wang Yu. A spider, with such a retaliatory action, is really rare..." 

The crowd was shocked to hear it, did not understand how such a large spider burrowed into the coffin, careful inspection, only to find a large hole in the bottom, the poisonous spider is from here into the coffin to chew the corpse disfigured. This vicious guy was the giant male spider that had sneaked up on Wang Yu. After the death of its spouse at the muzzle, its desire for revenge grew day by day, and these days, it has been mysteriously following Wang Yu. That night, it lurked outside the tent of the expedition team, and when the people inside were asleep, it wandered in like a ghost, jumped exactly next to Wang Yu, took a bite at his foot, and then immediately quietly left... The next thing was even more terrifying: it followed Wang Yue's body to the Forestry Bureau compound, and waited until people had prepared the coffin and placed Wang Yue's body before it quietly moved out, punched a hole in the bottom of the coffin, and then spit silk to seal the opening of the hole, and encroached on Wang Yu in the coffin without restraint...
