After the immortal disappeared

"It's such a blessing to meet you today!"

"You're a funny little boy, and you're nice to talk to. Then you can stay and kill time with me." After all, the days in the swamp are the same, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to and relieve his boredom. Zhu Erniang climbed over a broken piece of wood and found it flat on the ground, "As for you——"

She slowly approached, and the pressure was already on Dong Rui.

Seeing He Lingchuan's expression of looking forward to a good show, he quickly came over and whispered: "Hey, find a way to save me!"

"Aren't you a puppet master who specializes in controlling monsters?" He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, "There are many monsters here, but you are helpless?"

Dong Rui cursed in his heart that the little bastard didn't pick up any of the pots. Do you want to use the demon claws to kill people?

Zhu Erniang's ear power was astonishing, and she had accurately captured the three words "demon puppet master" with eight claws. Her body suddenly grew bigger, and even the adjustment door was raised three or four degrees: "Are you the demon puppet master? That professional A demon puppet master who captures monsters and transforms them into puppets?”

"He's talking nonsense, he's framed me!" Dong Rui said sternly, "I've never heard of such a name, and it's even more impossible for him to do something that would outrage both humans and gods!"

This old monster lives in an inaccessible swamp. How come he is so well-informed and has heard the name of his puppet master?

"you are not?"

"I'm really not!" Dong Rui pointed at He Lingchuan and cursed, "We have a grudge. This bastard wants me to die."

"What a pity." Zhu Erniang sighed, "Then you are useless. Children, eat him."

"?!"

He Lingchuan almost fell down laughing: "I have been saving you, do you understand?"

The little spider on the side is already eager to try.

There are only dozens of edible things in this swamp, such as frogs, mice, snakes, turtles and cicadas, and occasionally some wild boars and rabbits that can be eaten as a tooth sacrifice, but there are too many spiders and the prey is too small, so it is not enough.

It's still the most delicious, smooth and chewy, and you'll remember it for years after you taste it.

Seeing the overwhelming number of spiders, Dong Rui was dumbfounded and immediately changed his mind: "I am, I am! I am the demon puppet master Dong Rui, and I am willing to do my best for Erniang!"

Zhu Erniang raised her front paws and wiped her big watery eyes, and the spider swarm stopped. The first two were only half an arm's length away from Dong Rui.

He Lingchuan folded his arms and asked what all spiders were thinking: "Didn't you deny it with all your strength just now?"

This kid takes revenge on him! Dong Rui held back his anger: "I thought you wanted to harm me. The demon clan has been chasing me fiercely and even sent me several wanted notices."

A good man doesn't want to suffer any immediate losses, so he then turned to Zhu Erniang: "If you ask me something, I will do my best."

He would never say anything stupid.

Zhu Erniang slowly took two steps forward: "I heard that the demon puppet you created can resist Yuanli?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them understood.

It turned out that this was what Zhu Erniang was thinking about.

Indeed, there is no loose demon like her who lives in the deep mountains and swamps who doesn't want to find a way to fight Yuanli.

If you can compete with Yuanli, why fear the human army?

He Lingchuan was even more aware of Zhu Erniang's glorious past. This kind of ancient demon immortal has lived until now, but can only live in an inaccessible place. How much resentment has accumulated in his heart?

Dong Rui's value is reflected in this.

Life and death depended on the answer. Dong Rui said decisively: "Yes, the monster I transformed can do it!"

He looked at Zhu Erniang's majestic and round figure, and his eyes shone: "The monsters with better foundation and stronger vitality are more likely to succeed."

Can such a powerful monster be transformed? This is truly the pinnacle of his career, and it makes my heart surge just thinking about it!

"If you can survive." He Lingchuan poured cold water on the side, "I don't know, Er Niang, this guy has conducted more than 30 experimental subjects, but only four were successful. The failure rate is as high as 90%."

"Oh?" Zhu Erniang's voice became cold again, "You want to kill me?"

Just mentioning success without talking about probability is either cheating your life or cheating your money.

Dong Rui glared at He Lingchuan. This guy was so heartless. The two of them had a conversation in the jellyfish. How heartfelt was that? Once ashore, you won’t recognize anyone!

"Er Niang, you are worrying too much. We can try again and again until everything is perfect before using it on you!" He said cautiously, "After all, your advantages are unparalleled and other monsters do not have them. Just like there are so many in front of you..."

Subbody? Supplies?

The spiders around him were watching him eagerly, but he didn't know how many of them could understand human speech. He didn't have the courage to continue talking.

Zhu Erniang waved her front paw without much thought. This is her territory, she can go back on it at any time, there's nothing to worry about.

The leader made a decision, and the spiders had no choice but to disperse.

Well, there is no chance to improve the food today.

Zhu Erniang pointed her front paw at Dong Rui: "Aren't you going to do an experiment? You go now."

This person is also impatient. Dong Rui smiled bitterly: "There is no such quick method. It requires testing, deployment, and observation. It will take two months at least..."

"Huh?" Zhu Erniang's front paw gently fell to the ground, poking a hole more than three feet deep.

"...If you cooperate with me here, maybe it can be shortened to about forty days."

"what do you need?"

"A clean house can be used as a laboratory. I will make a list for you and prepare all the herbs according to the requirements above. The first batch will be seven spider monsters. Their strength should be from weak to strong." Dong Rui entered. Professional mode, "By the way, get me some more food. It must include meat, fish and shrimp, preferably fish eggs, so that it can replenish the brain. Well, there must also be sweet berries."

People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat, you can't live well.

Zhu Erniang stared at him for a while, then asked a big colorful spider next to her: "Have you remembered everything?"

"take note of it."

"Go and do it." Although the children are loyal, they are a little stupid by nature and are not as dexterous as humans, alas.

The crisis was temporarily over. Dong Rui suddenly felt that his bladder was unbearable and he quickly found a place deep in the grass to drain water.

While he was watering the flowers, someone came whistling and stood in line with him to water the flowers together.

Can there be another "person"?

Dong Rui said coldly: "You little puppy, you can't steal the chicken but lose the rice. Just wait, I want you to die!"

The medicine on his body alone could kill this brat a hundred times.

He Lingchuan reminded him: "You just swore before that you would not take action against me before leaving the swamp."

Dong Rui chuckled: "I don't even have to do it myself. I just need to tell Zhu Erniang that the experiment will use human hearts, livers, spleens, stomachs and kidneys, and I can sit back and watch your kid being dissected alive."

He Lingchuan glanced back and saw, what a guy, three headed spiders were following behind. Being stared at by thirty-six pairs of eyes at the same time showed how reassured Zhu Erniang was about them.

"Now you can sit back and relax?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "If you fail, how can you escape alone?"

"..." Dong Rui was speechless, "What's the matter, do I still count on you?"

"At least you have to think about something else now, right?" He Lingchuan sighed, "Zhu Erniang is a rare ancient demon, and her thoughts are not simple. Do you think you can escape from her easily?"

"What did you say?" Dong Rui looked shocked, almost shaking himself, "There are still ancient monsters now?"

He calmed down in a blink of an eye: "It's just what everyone else said. Didn't you really inherit the family letter from your ancestors? The ancient anecdotes have been passed down to this day, and they have long been distorted."

"You think I'm just talking?" He Lingchuan looked serious, "I really recognize it, and I know very well why it survived and didn't disappear with the immortals."

"From ancient times to the present, from ancient times to the present!" Dong Rui murmured and repeated several times, with a fanatical light in his eyes, and he couldn't help but gear up.

He Lingchuan secretly said something bad, don't arouse this guy's interest. From now on, he will live in the swamp and focus on guarding Zhu Erniang.

Then he himself is in danger.

Just listen to Dong Rui talking to himself: "Maybe this is what I want, maybe it's missing..." He Lingchuan said a few words, but He Lingchuan couldn't hear clearly, "...it's here! This is really a dark place. There’s always a bright future!”

He impulsively raised his fist, but He Lingchuan quickly avoided it, fearing that it would splash on him.

Oh, it's so dirty.

"Don't go against me again, and I will spare your life!" Dong Rui said sternly to He Lingchuan, "After we go out, we can each show our special abilities. We must work together here and swear a blood oath!"

"Okay!" He Lingchuan had always been pragmatic, so why did he care about his tone? He took the lead in making a sincere blood oath on his father's life.

Dong Rui saw that there were no empty words in his oath, so he also made one.

Trapped in the enemy's nest, the two humans had to form an alliance.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with contempt.

After finding water to wash their hands, the two asked the spiders for food.

This is the territory of the burrowing spider. How can there be any reason for guests to hunt it themselves?

Only then did He Lingchuan realize that the Burrowing Spiders were really a hard-working and simple clan of monsters. Back then, they just opened a pasture in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest to raise aphids as cows. Now they live in the swamp and know how to build large nets to raise fish.

Their webs are impervious to water and fire, and are surprisingly tough. They can be cultured in cages in an open water area, and three or four kinds of herbivorous fish with meaty flesh are specially selected to raise them.

In addition, the spider demon has to station guards to guard the fish pond in turn to prevent birds from stealing the fish.

Birds die for food, and unlucky waterfowl often become prey for spiders.

He Lingchuan also saw acres and acres of reeds in the swamp. The wind blew their heads down and the dust floated out. It was beautiful even if it wasn't autumn.

Then I realized that this was also a species of burrowing spider. Reed sprouts are edible, and if you can’t finish them, you can feed them to fish.

Adapting measures to local conditions, these burrowing spiders are really full of farming talents.

The spider guard wandered into the fish pond, and soon came back with a few big fish, as well as some crabs and shellfish.

There is actually a big snakehead fish here, more than one meter long, very lively, and it is not known how long it has been eating fat crucian carp in the cage.

He Lingchuan looked at it and missed the boiled condiments from his own restaurant. When making boiled fish fillets, isn't black fish the best ingredient?

Unfortunately, the conditions in the swamp were poor, so he and Dong Rui could only set up a fire to roast everything.

The only good thing is that he never lacks salt, cumin and chili powder in his storage ring.

The fish smell overflowed, He Lingchuan grabbed the fish pieces and silently turned his back to Dong Rui.

Facing that face, he really couldn't eat.
