Will it stir up more troubles and trigger more wars?
At least it will 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.
Talking back to the Demon Nest Swamp, did the predator get the treasure in the end?
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 you get the treasure, what will you 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 deep in the Demon Nest Swamp, the territory of the great demons. However, he did hear the sound of human voices, the snorting of horses, and the crunching of stones as wheels rolled across the ground.
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 ended, and the water level in the swamp had slowly dropped. The land had 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 40 large vehicles, and there were actually 30 or 40 sheep behind them, but the number of people was not large, only about 30. He Lingchuan knew that the goods were heavy when he saw the deep ruts, and sometimes the wheels got stuck in the mud.
It couldn't be pulled out, and the Spider Guards came around to help push the cart.
So attentive. Apparently this team was able to pass through the Demon Nest Swamp not only because of the mirage, 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 balls of unknitted wool. He couldn't see the meaning, but the patterns fell.
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 is over fifty, has a dusty face, and looks like an experienced old steward.
The steward stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Spider Queen, my master is seriously ill this year and cannot come in person. 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 a token given by you, please take a look at it!"
The flag was full of colors, it was Zhu Erniang's specialty Yun brocade, so of course it could be recognized at a glance.
With a smile on his face, Tu Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Forgive me, Queen Spider, but my uncle has an abdominal tumor and cannot get out of bed, let alone travel across mountains and rivers. 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 the quality is better 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, it's okay." 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 afraid that the wine vat would not be stable, they would just spray a few fluffs of spider silk, and it would be more accurate.
Any glue sticks strongly.
Zhu Erniang loves drinking, 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, and 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, and 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 of these bags is too poor to even hold grain. But here, thirty large trucks are carrying coarse cloth bags, each of which can hold at least two people. Now each one is bulging and full.
Got something.
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? There are lumps, some in bulk, and some grass roots mixed in, but it does look like dried yellow mud.
Zhu Erniang also stretched out her claws 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. I'll pay you for it. 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, emptied the carriage, and took 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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Erniang said coldly: "It's still the same, you guys will live in the ruins of the Jiana tribe tonight, don't move 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 aphid cows." The spider guard muttered. This human has been walking around the camp for more than half a month and often talks to them. It answered subconsciously. Besides, it doesn't know how to lie. "After eating salty clay,
They will lay eggs."
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 grazing, and even the pre- and post-natal care of the aphid cows 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 in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest.
The yield of salty clay is probably one of the important factors.
The crops in Panlong Wasteland are abundant, so there are many aphids and cows to support, and the spiders have abundant food rations.
There is probably very little salty clay produced in the Devil's Nest Swamp, so the burrowing spiders have to rely on humans to buy them from outside, so the population will be limited.
It was already dark, and as a rule, human caravans would stay in the swamp for one night before loading up and leaving in the morning.
A large living person in He Lingchuan was mixed among the spiders, which can truly be called the Heli Spider Group. These business travelers glanced at it and it was difficult to miss it.
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."
"Why are you 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. During this period, the burrowing spiders had too much food 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 as strong as He Lingchuan's, 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 mirages. How can you enter and exit freely?"
Tu Zhongli cooed at Manager Zhao, who immediately said: "My master rescued a few burrowing 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 his saliva, "She 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 is only my home, and outsiders who enter here are seeking death."
"I see, good intentions are rewarded." He Lingchuan nodded, knowing clearly that Manager Zhao had omitted many details. For example, why Tu Zhongli's uncle specially took the giant spider to release outside the Demon Nest Swamp, and why the Spider Queen could
Find them.
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 a fire to cook.
Following Zhu Erniang's order, the spiders generously sent swamp-cultured big fish.
