Mission accomplished, he couldn't open it. Zhu Erniang said at the right time: "The two rooms in the middle have been cleaned by the younger ones. You can choose your own." It arrived a few days ago, and there was nothing else to do anyway.
He Lingchuan immediately saluted her: "Second mother, you are really my good second mother!" Tonight, the starry sky was picturesque.
He Lingchuan said to Dong Rui: "Tell me about Xuyang Sandbank."
"Go northwest to the border of Rongshan Mountain and walk another thirty miles to reach it. For many years, it has been a no-nonsense zone, where merchants buy and sell strange things without paying taxes. I have been there many times."
"I heard that there are many temples there?"
"Like I said, it's a no-nonsense zone."
"What three things do you care about?"
"Rongshan doesn't care, Baling doesn't care, Yuan Kingdom doesn't care either." Dong Rui explained,
"The Xunyang sandbank is not big, and the boundary keeps moving. It is thankless for anyone to take care of it."
"Sounds good." He Lingchuan smiled,
"We will set off after you have rested." Most of the houses in the deserted village were more than half buried by years of heavy snow, and the doors could not be pushed open. Only two houses were particularly conspicuous because the snow on the doors, windows and roofs had been shoveled away.
Dong Rui eagerly chose a room. Sure enough, it had been tidied up and the kang was covered with a thick layer of hay.
He first took off the backpack containing the demon puppet and put it away, then took out the bedding and thick cloak, threw himself on the kang - and fell asleep in three seconds.
Seeing him snoring, He Lingchuan shook his head and took out an ax to chop wood. The forest trees in winter are actually very dry, so he picked up a large bundle and took it to Dong Rui's house first.
Amidst the man's loud snoring, He Lingchuan lit up a pond fire, and the room soon felt as warm as spring.
He Lingchuan then took out the snail toad from his backpack and placed it on the bench by the fire. This creature likes warmth and humidity and hates cold.
The bat demon in the sky also landed and opened the door to come in. He wanted to go back to his house to boil water, but he saw the burrowing spider coming and going but not entering the village, so he couldn't help but be curious.
When he followed it, he discovered that there was a large cave behind the village, about five feet high, with an unknown depth, but there was no wind blowing out of it. It was probably a dumb cave with no other exit.
This is the base camp of the burrowing spider. Zhu Erniang has hidden several remains here and sealed the entrance of the cave with thick spider webs, leaving only one entrance and exit passage.
They are all so tall that they cannot fit in a human house. Besides, it had a hard time regaining its immortal slough, so it had to be under his watch to feel at ease.
The crypt spider was quite friendly to He Lingchuan and led him into the cave. Only then did he realize that the spider web blocking the entrance of the cave was elaborate. It was divided into several layers inside and outside. There were gaps in the middle of each layer to block the wind and allow ventilation at the same time.
Once a foreign enemy attacks, the spiders can block this passage with a little planning. The cave is deep, and there were originally gaps that penetrated underground, but the spiders blocked them with stones and covered them with spider webs to form a sealed space.
I don’t know what tricks Zhu Erniang used, but the temperature in the cave was much higher than the outside world in the ice and snow. So He Lingchuan was not surprised to see a thick carpet of bacteria in the cave.
and aphids on the fungus carpet.
"How come these aphid cows have lost weight?" Compared with the aphid cows he saw in the Demon Nest, these aphid cows have lost weight by at least two large circles, and are now lying on the fungus carpet and feasting.
Zhu Erniang came from behind: "After leaving the Devil's Nest Swamp, they have few opportunities to eat, so it's good to survive." These aphids are the food source of the burrowing spiders, and they have no chance to develop well along the way.
"I have heard about what you did in Xushan." It seemed that the Spider Queen sisters had an in-depth exchange of words.
He Lingchuan asked it with a shy face: "I braved all kinds of difficulties and dangers to bring your immortal slough back, so there should be some reward, right?" In fact, the rewards were all paid in advance, and they were basically collected before departure.
Zhu Erniang didn't know which eye she was looking at him with: "You stole a body earlier, so I won't pursue it. I'll treat it as a reward for you." He Lingchuan said calmly.
At that time, Lord Boshan and King Siwen jointly attacked the spider nest, and He Lingchuan took the opportunity to steal a spider slough and feed it to the divine bone necklace.
Zhu Erniang will definitely be able to figure out who the real thief is. His sophistry is meaningless, and will only increase the loopholes.
Zhu Erniang continued: "But the Immortal Slaughter means a lot to me, I can give you something extra." He Lingchuan smiled, it was a good deal to work for Zhu Erniang.
"Let's wait for some time." He Lingchuan still had this patience: "By the way, where will you go from now on?" We can no longer stay in the Devil's Nest Swamp, where will Zhu Erniang and his family stay?
Zhu Erniang has already thought about this problem: "I want to go to the sea from Baisha Bay and go to Mou State!"
"Mo Guo?" He Lingchuan looked moved,
"This is a long journey." Now they are west of Beqa, but Mou Guo is east of Beqa. Zhu Erniang's move this time was to take a boat across an entire empire.
"Bejia's power cannot extend there." Zhu Erniang knew very well that Lingxu City could not let them go, so it had to leave Bejia's sphere of influence.
"I remember that there is still a vast world in the east of Mou State. There are several large canyons there, which are very suitable for me to build a nest." If it wants to go, no one can stop it.
He Lingchuan sighed: "I'm afraid there will be no time to meet again."
"It's best like this." He Lingchuan wasn't sure if it was joking, so he touched his nose and said, "By the way, have you ever heard of the name Nai Luotian?" Zhu Erniang thought carefully for a while: "No." What kind of extraordinary character could this god that even the demons and immortals didn’t recognize?
At this time, a burrowing spider crawled deep in the cave, and He Lingchuan felt strange when he saw it. In his eyes, this thing was of unusual shape, as if there was a layer of frosted glass between it and him.
"Hey, what is that?" He pointed it out to Zhu Erniang,
"There is a foreign object among your descendants." But Zhu Erniang's plump figure did not move, as if she knew that the thing was not a threat.
"That's a mirage. It doesn't like outsiders and doesn't want to come out to see you." Zhu Erniang said lazily,
"We can't stay in the Demon's Nest Swamp anymore. It decided to follow me." If Bega decides to attack Zhu Erniang, the monsters in the Demon's Nest may suffer a lot.
"Is this a mirage?" He Lingchuan was surprised.
"I thought that the mirage's body would be a big clam shell that spits water." One of the important reasons why the Demon's Nest Swamp is mysterious and unpredictable is that the mirage lives there, wrapping the swamp in heavy fog and isolating it from the world. , humans and animals entering it will get lost and die.
He Lingchuan did not expect that Zhu Erniang could persuade the mirage to go with it.
"I haven't seen its true appearance either." Zhu Erniang suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, how can you tell it's abnormal?"
