After the immortal disappeared

Will it stir up more troubles and trigger more wars?

Will it at least make Panlong City, which is already surrounded by enemies on all sides, face a more difficult situation?

If his inference is true, Wen Daolun really paid a huge price for this "certainty".

When He Lingchuan thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the relationship between Mitian and other gods was really not good.

Back to the Demon Nest Swamp, did the predator finally get the treasure?

He Lingchuan is unknown. However, since the Moon God is likely to be Mi Tian of Panlong City, at least what the abuser will get is not a square pot.

If it gets the treasure, what will it do with it?

He Lingchuan thought of all the abnormalities in the Demon's Nest and the small tomb in the "atrium".

At this moment, a human voice seemed to be heard in the distance.

He Lingchuan was startled, this was the territory of the big monsters deep in the Demon Nest Swamp. Yet he did hear the sounds of human voices again, the snorting of horses, and the crunching of wheels on gravel.

Then, He Lingchuan saw groups of spiders walking from the water's edge, running towards the source of the sound with eight legs.

There was nothing to wait for, so he followed closely.

By this time, the floods in the Han River had long since ceased, and the water level in the swamp had slowly dropped. The land appeared in a large area, but it was muddy and difficult to walk on.

At this time, a human caravan was dragging their belongings towards the ruins of the Jiana tribe. This was also the largest open space in Zhu Erniang's territory.

Two spiders lead the way, and the rest circle around the team, as if they are watching the fun, but they will not come forward to hurt or eat anyone.

This convoy consisted of more than forty large vehicles, followed by thirty or forty sheep, but the number of people was not large, only about thirty. He Lingchuan knew from the deep ruts that the cargo was heavy. Sometimes the wheels got stuck in the mud and couldn't be pulled out, and spider guards came around to help push the cart.

So attentive. Obviously, this team was able to pass through the Demon Nest Swamp not only because of the mirage's permission, but also with Zhu Erniang's permission.

He Lingchuan noticed that there were thick cobwebs on the roofs of the first and last carriages, and the patterns of the weaving rows were also quite special, like unknitted wool balls. He couldn't see the meaning, but the patterns were quite special. In the eyes of spiders, it may be a password.

The ruins of the Jiana tribe are very close to the Demon Nest. When the team arrived, Zhu Erniang also moved out of the Demon Nest, slowly went downhill, and walked to the front of the team:

"What's going on? Why did you change someone?"

Two people came up to us. One was a strong man about thirty years old. He wore the best clothes in the team and was probably the leader.

The other one was over fifty, with a dusty face and looked like an experienced old manager.

The steward stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Spider Queen, my master is seriously ill and cannot come in person this year. This transaction will be handled by my nephew Tu Zhongli."

He was a frequent visitor to the Devil's Nest Swamp with caravans. He had been here more than seven or eight times, and Zhu Erniang could recognize him at a glance.

Familiar faces are living signs.

But Manager Zhao still held up a small flag: "This is the token given by you, please take a look at it!"

The flag was shining brightly, and it was Zhu Erniang's specialty, Yun Brocade. Of course, it could be recognized at a glance.

With a smile on his face, Tu Zhongli bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Queen Spider, but my uncle has an abdominal tumor and can't get out of bed, let alone travel across mountains and rivers, so I have no choice but to honor you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand back.

The rest of the people quickly opened the oilcloths on the five carriages in front, revealing black tanks of clear water underneath. Each tank was half a person high, with the mouth of the tank narrowed and sealed with red cloth.

"These are good wines brewed by Xiyao Mountain Spring, and they are of better quality than the previous batch."

Zhu Erniang walked to the first cart, without breaking the mud seal, she directly inserted her mouthpart into a large vat and sucked for a long time.

This action startled Tu Zhongli. He did not expect that Zhu Erniang would not say hello...

fine.

"Yeah, not bad." The wine was just okay.

It waved its claws, and a group of huge spiders rushed over, carried the wine vat on its back, and moved it into the devil's nest. If they were worried that the wine vat would not be stable, they could just spray a few fluffs of spider silk on it. It would be stronger than any glue.

Zhu Erniang loves to drink, and there is a special wine cellar in the Magic Nest.

It took two steps and suddenly asked: "Why does the car and your bodies smell like human blood?"

Everyone was shocked. Tu Zhongli smiled and said: "You don't know something. It's not peaceful outside the swamp now. We encountered a group of bandits before we came in. We managed to beat them away! Otherwise, this trip would have been in vain."

Then the contents of dozens of other carriages were also revealed. Apart from some miscellaneous items, what caught He Lingchuan's attention the most were the countless coarse cloth bags.

He has transported grain, but the sealing performance of this kind of bag is so poor that it can't even contain grain. But the thirty carts here all carry coarse cloth bags, each of which can hold at least two people. Now each one is bulging and filled with things.

What's on the head here?

Fortunately, Zhu Erniang quickly solved his doubts.

The giant spider demon pulled it casually, and the bag under its claws broke open, revealing what was inside——

"loess?"

What is contained in the coarse cloth bag is actually the most common loess? Some are lumpy, some are in bulk, and some are mixed with grass roots, but it does look like dried yellow mud.

Zhu Erniang also stretched out her paw to stir it twice, and even took out a little and put it into her mouth to taste: "This issue has a lot of impurities."

"You also know that salty clay is like this." After being bumped by Tu Zhongli with his heel, the steward hurriedly said, "It's not much different from the ones sent before. They were all dug in the same area. There are fluctuations in quality, maybe because It’s been raining a lot lately.”

"That's your business." Zhu Erniang said bluntly, "The quality will drop and the price will drop."

The steward opened his mouth to argue, but Tu Zhongli interrupted him and said, "It's okay, it's our fault this time. It's your price. The dozens of sheep in the back will be given to the Spider Queen as compensation."

Zhu Erniang snorted, waved her claws again, and her men swarmed up, emptying the carriage and taking the sheep away.

They were tired of eating the prey in the swamp, so they finally had the opportunity to try the little fat sheep for a change.

Zhu Erniang said coldly: "It's still the same as before. You guys will stay at the Jiana tribe's ruins tonight and don't walk around randomly. Otherwise -"

The steward nodded quickly: "We understand, the jungle is not safe, we understand!"

He Lingchuan pulled the spider guard beside him and asked, "What is this salty clay used for?"

If it is used to grow bacteria carpet, it seems to be a bit less.

"This is one of the baits for the aphids." The spider guard said in an angry voice. This human has been walking around the camp for more than half a month and often talks to them. It subconsciously answered. Besides, it doesn’t know how to lie. “They only lay eggs after eating salty clay.”

He Lingchuan let out a long "Oh".

He had heard that birds and animals would eat some soil to replenish nutrients, but he didn't expect that the aphids here also need it. It can be seen that the burrowing spider is really an expert in herding, and even the pre- and post-natal care of the aphids is very clear.

Now he probably understands why the warm jungle environment here seems to be more suitable for burrowing spiders, but Zhu Erniang's offspring are not as numerous as the Ghost Needle Stone Forest.

The production of salty clay is probably one of the important factors.

The production in Panlong Wasteland is abundant, and there are many aphids and cows to feed, so the spiders have abundant food.

There is probably very little salty clay produced in the Devil's Nest Swamp. The burrowing spiders have to rely on humans to buy them from outside, so the population will be limited.

It was already dark. As usual, the human caravan would stay in the swamp for one night and then load up and leave in the morning.

He Lingchuan, a big living person mixed in with the spider group, can truly be called the Heli spider group. These business travelers glanced at each other and it was difficult to miss them.

So after the team was disbanded on the spot, Tu Zhongli walked over with doubts in his eyes: "What do you call this brother?"

"Congratulations."

"How come you are in the cave spider's lair?" Tu Zhongli asked the steward next to him, "Manager Zhao, didn't you say that strangers are not allowed to enter the Demon Nest Swamp?"

"Well, it stands to reason." Manager Zhao said cautiously, "But..."

"The Han River flooded, and I was rushed in. The burrowing spiders had too much food during this period and didn't eat me. But I couldn't get out either." He Lingchuan looked at Tu Zhongli and said, "What is Brother Tu doing?"

"Me?" Tu Zhongli laughed, "I will do some business with my uncle."

"I thought..." This guy's body was so strong that he could almost catch up with He Lingchuan, as if he could kill a cow with one punch. "With this physique, being a businessman is really a waste."

He has practiced martial arts for many years and has a strong and vigorous body. Where is this guy?

From the way he walked, Tu Zhongli seemed to be at least a well-educated man, but also had a reckless air——

Ever since the encounter in Xianling Village, He Lingchuan had become particularly keen on the aura of gangsters.

Tu Zhongli smiled: "Everyone says so. What do you do?"

"Mercenaries, work when you're paid." He Lingchuan asked, "I heard that the Demon Nest Swamp is surrounded by mirage. How can you enter and exit freely?"

Tu Zhongli cooed at Manager Zhao, who immediately said: "My master rescued a few cave spiders at the market a few years ago. They were all very big. The hunter said they caught them in a trap outside the Devil's Nest Swamp. I wanted to kill them, peel them off and sell them for money. My husband heard that these giant spiders could talk and couldn't bear it, so he bought them and released them."

"After a few days, the spider queen asked the giant spider to come to us and said that it wanted to do business with my family." Manager Zhao swallowed, "It originally sent the giant spider in the swamp to find a kind of salty clay. If we can do it for a long time, If we supply it, we can guarantee our freedom of entry and exit from the swamp—of course, it’s only my home, and outsiders who enter here are seeking death.”

"I see, good intentions are rewarded." He Lingchuan nodded, knowing that Manager Zhao had omitted many details. For example, why did Tu Zhongli's uncle specially take the giant spiders to the outside of the Demon Nest Swamp to release them, and why was the Spider Queen able to find them immediately?

It can be seen that this old guy sensed a huge business opportunity when he rescued the giant spider, and it may not be simply "unbearable".

At this time, the caravan picked up dead branches and leaves and began to set up a fire to cook.

Following Zhu Erniang's order, the spiders generously sent swamp-cultured fish.
