As expected of a demon puppeteer, the experiment process is full of weirdness and distortion.
He Lingchuan silently turned his head without looking.
Once the demon puppet master devotes himself to his work, he doesn't seem to care much about his situation. The five spider demons only persisted for three days, and Dong Rui made a request to the guards:
"next batch!"
…
Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye.
He Lingchuan was either helping Dong Rui, or answering the Spider Queen's call to chat with her.
This giant monster has lived in the Demon Nest Swamp for hundreds of years, and has only gone out twice during this period. However, it seems to know the outside world quite well.
In other words, does it still have channels for external communication?
He Lingchuan thought countless times about how to give this giant monster a gentle blow when it wasn't paying attention.
However, no calculation is safe. Zhu Erniang's twelve eyes are distributed on both sides of the head, basically giving her a 360-degree field of vision with no blind spots.
Besides, an ancient monster like it releases its spiritual consciousness even when sleeping. It would be very difficult for He Lingchuan to sneak attack on it.
A spider has no eyelids. As long as it stands still, who knows whether it is sleeping or awake?
What's more, this kind of monster has many incredible abilities. He Lingchuan once saw her pull out her own eye, and the eyeball fell to the ground and turned into a little spider.
I don’t know what the key point of this guy is.
Not to mention that Zhu Erniang also has a spider demon army. Although the number is far less than a hundred years ago, He Lingchuan alone will definitely not be able to deal with it. It even killed General Nan Ke. Isn't it easy to defeat them?
He Lingchuan privately took out the Yuan Qian and looked at it several times, and found that the Yuan Power attached to it could only be described as Qi as a gossamer, so weak that it could be ignored.
To put it bluntly, the source of Yuanli is "United Wills". Now that he is far away from his homeland and has no soldiers around him, he only has a fictitious card in his hand. Without "United Wills", where would the Yuanli come from?
Without Yuanli, he would have to rely entirely on strength. He was even less sure of dealing with Zhu Erniang.
These days, He Lingchuan just wandered around in the swamp when he had nothing to do, first to get familiar with the terrain as soon as possible, and secondly to look for opportunities to think of solutions.
The Devil's Nest Swamp was so big that he didn't even finish it after several days of walking. The giant spider just let it go, as if it wasn't worried that he would escape privately.
He Lingchuan simply asked it in front of it, and Zhu Erniang laughed loudly:
"There is a mirage outside the Demon's Nest Swamp. You can't get out at all. What should I worry about?"
It chuckled and said, "You can't break through the mirage with just the little bit of energy you have."
Although it had not seen He Lingchuan's Sheji Order with its own eyes, its spiritual sense was very astonishing. Besides, He Lingchuan did not hide his family background. It knew that he was the son of the general manager of Xiazhou in Yuan Kingdom, and he could more or less hold a false title in the army.
"Where did the mirage come from?" Well, the difficulty of escaping has further increased. Even if he can deal with Zhu Erniang, how can he escape from the mirage?
"Eighty years ago, a mirage moved to the Devil's Nest Swamp. In order to get us to agree to its move, it laid a mirage around the outside of the swamp to prevent human intrusion. Since then, the swamp has been much quieter."
The Devil's Nest Swamp is rich in products, and humans often enter to collect supplies, and even secretly hunt Zhu Erniang's children.
Burrowing spiders can provide several medicinal herbs.
After the mirage filled the air, it was almost impossible for anyone else to enter except for the troops with Yuan Power.
Although the giant spider couldn't blink, the meaning behind its words was "I know you want to escape." He Lingchuan touched the back of his head: "What does the word 'we' mean? Are there other monsters in the swamp?
"
Zhu Erniang's voice suddenly became cold: "Who doesn't have annoying neighbors? If you want to go to someone else's land and be eaten, don't blame me for not saving you."
After saying that, it walked away on its eight long legs.
On this day, He Lingchuan walked eastward and saw a huge stone standing abruptly in a small ravine. It was about ten feet high and as flat as a monument. It was covered with a thick layer of spider silk and shone brightly in the sunlight.
He immediately recognized that it was Zhu Erniang's child. He couldn't help but be curious. When he walked down and took a look, he found that the other side of the stele was covered with a piece of shed leather. The scale marks on it were each larger than his palm.
Is this snake skin or lizard skin?
The original owner was quite big.
He Lingchuan roughly guessed what the boulder was used for. Two long snakes, one green and one red, suddenly jumped out of the grass and opened their mouths to bite his ankles.
Isn't it normal for snakes to grow in the grass? When He Lingchuan was a patrolman, he was also good at striking grass in the wild to scare snakes. He naturally took two steps back and his hand had already touched the handle of the Fusheng knife.
In a flash of light, the two snakes broke into four pieces.
Even though he was killed with one blow, he did not step forward to take a look.
Sure enough, the little snake fell to the ground and twisted into a ball, as if it was dead, but when He Lingchuan moved slightly, it pounced on it again!
Of course, it can't hit the enemy.
At this time, a spider guard from behind hurried over and shouted:
"Stay away from the boundary marker!"
Sure enough, Zhu Erniang's territory ends here, and crossing the monument is just a visit.
He Lingchuan picked up the snake corpse on the head of the knife and returned to the boundary: "Whose territory is on the other side?"
"Boshan Lord." The spider demon guard saw the snake corpse on the head of his sword, "You killed their guards who were watching the world."
"Ouch, does it matter?" It seemed that Zhu Erniang's neighbor was a snake demon. He Lingchuan looked at the snake skin on the boundary marker and saw that it was quite big.
The spider guard walked around the boundary monument and found no trace of other snakes, so he said to He Lingchuan: "Do you want it?"
"...Give it to you."
The spider guard dragged the snake corpse dozens of feet away until the boundary marker was almost invisible, and then dug its fangs into the snake corpse.
At this time, the green snake was not completely dead, but it was unable to resist.
He Lingchuan: "..." Dare you eat it now? "You can eat the other party's guard as you like?"
The spider demon waited patiently for the snake meat to be dissolved into juice by the venom, and answered naturally: "They often sneak over and eat our things."
He Lingchuan looked at the boundary monument and couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that it was really just used to mark the territory. Minions from both sides came and went, often stealing things from each other.
Think about it, Zhu Erniang and Boshanjun are both monsters in this swamp, how can they be so strict in controlling them?
It's okay if you don't fight in peacetime, and just ignore trivial matters.
"How many years has the 'Boshan Lord' across the street been practicing?"
"Four to five hundred years."
"That's not comparable to your ancestors." He Lingchuan asked it, "Why didn't Zhu Erniang destroy it and seize its territory?"
Just looking at the size of Zhu Erniang's lair in Guizhen Stone Forest, we know that she also believes in having more children and more blessings.
The more children you have to raise, the bigger your territory will be.
Spider Guard said blankly: "I don't know."
Its duty is to guard the boundary monument, why does it need to know so much?
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "Do you two often fight?"
"Fight." The spider guard was focused on the prey and answered casually, "Boshan Lord will join forces with other monsters to fight us. They just want to steal our things."
It turns out that none of Zhu Erniang's neighbors are fuel-efficient lamps, so no wonder it doesn't sound good when mentioned.
It seems that this female spider is not very popular in the entire Demon Nest Swamp.
"Are there other big monsters in this swamp?" He only knew that there was a mirage living in this swamp.
"Yes, there are seven or eight more." The Devil's Nest Swamp is very big.
He Lingchuan was slightly surprised. There were seven or eight giant demons that were rare to see elsewhere, here?
Why are they all crowded in this swamp?
He knows very well that the more capable a person is, the greater his temper will be, and this is especially true for monsters.
"What are they trying to grab?"
"They robbed everything!" When this was mentioned, the Spider Guard was also a little angry, "They even robbed the nets, and they even wanted to take the Demon Nest back!"
"Take it back?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Could it be that the Demon Nest originally belonged to Lord Boshan?"
"Yes, our ancestors drove it away when they came here."
It turned out that Zhu Erniang was the invading bandit. He Lingchuan scratched his head, no wonder he attracted the hatred of the local monsters.
