Chapter 340: The Outsider

Will it stir up more turmoil, will it spur more wars?

At least it will make Panlong City, which is already surrounded by enemies, face a more difficult situation, right?

If his inference is true, Windolon must have paid a huge price for this "certainty".

Thinking of this, He Lingchuan couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the relationship between Mitian and other gods is really bad.

Speaking of the Devil's Nest Swamp, did this abuser finally grab the treasure?

He Lingchuan does not know. However, since the moon god is likely to be the heaven of Panlong City, the abuser will not get at least a generous pot.

If you get the treasure, what will it do with it?

He Lingchuan remembered all the anomalies in the magic nest, as well as the small tomb in the "heart".

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

He Lingchuan was stunned, this is the territory of the big demons in the depths of the Demon Nest Swamp. But he did hear the sound of human speech, the snorting of horses, and the creaking of wheels over the ground.

Then, He Lingchuan saw swarms of spiders sneaking from the water's edge, running on eight legs to the place where the sound came from.

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

At this time, the flood of the Han River has long been exhausted, and the water level in the swamp has slowly dropped, and the soil has appeared on a large scale, but it is muddy and difficult to walk.

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

The two spiders lead the way in front, and the rest circle around the team, as if watching the excitement, but they will not come forward to hurt and eat people.

This convoy consisted of more than forty carts, followed by thirty or forty sheep, but the number was not much, only about thirty. He Lingchuan knew that the goods were heavy when he saw that the ruts were very deep, and sometimes the wheels were stuck in the mud and could not be pulled out, and there were spider guards around the back to help push the cart.

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

He Lingchuan noticed that there were thick cobwebs on the roof of the first and last carriages, and the patterns of the weaving columns were also quite special, like unwoven woolen balls, he couldn't see what it meant, but in the eyes of spiders, it might be the password.

The Jiana ruins are very close to the magic nest, and when the team arrived, Zhu Erniang also moved out of the magic nest, slowly went downhill, and walked to the front of the team

"What's going on, why the substitution?"

There were two people who greeted him, one was a strong man about thirty years old, with the best clothes and materials in the whole team, probably the leader.

The other was in his fifties, covered in dust, and looked like an experienced old steward.

The steward stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Spider, my lord is seriously ill this year and cannot come in person, so my nephew Tu Zhongli will handle this transaction."

He was a frequent visitor who followed caravans in and out of the Devil's Lair Swamp, and 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 Steward Zhao still held a small flag high, "This is a token from you, please take a look!"

The flag is full of brilliance, it is Zhu Erniang's good cloud brocade, of course it can be recognized at a glance.

Tu Zhongli smiled all over his face, and he shook it to the end: "Forgive me, Queen Spider, my uncle has a tumor in his abdomen, and he can't get up, let alone trek through mountains and rivers, so I have to honor you!"

With that, he waved his hand back.

The rest of the people hurriedly pulled the oil off the five carriages in front of them, revealing a clear black tank underneath, each half a man high, with a narrow mouth and sealed with a red cloth.

"These are all good wines made from Xiyao Mountain Spring, and the quality is better than the previous batch."

Zhu Erniang walked to the first big car, and she didn't have to crush the mud seal, so she directly pierced the mouthparts into a large vat and sucked it for a while.

This action startled Tu Zhongli a lot, he didn't expect Zhu Erniang to ...... without greeting

OK.

"Well, it's okay." This wine is okay.

With a wave of its claws, a swarm of huge spiders rushed over and saddled the vat on its back

and move into the Devil's Nest. If you are afraid that the wine tank is not stable, they can spray a few cobs of spider silk, and it is more secure 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 it smell of human blood on the car and on you?"

Everyone was shocked, and Tu Zhongli smiled and said, "You don't know, it's not peaceful outside the swamp now, and we encountered a group of robbers before we came in, and we finally beat them away!" Otherwise, this trip will be in vain."

Then the things on the other dozens of carriages were also revealed, in addition to some miscellaneous things, what attracted He Lingchuan's attention the most was the countless coarse cloth bags.

He had transported grain, but the bag was so poorly sealed that it couldn't even hold grain. But here the thirty carts were all carrying coarse cloth bags, each of which could hold at least two people, and now they were all stuffed with stuff, one by one.

What's in it?

Fortunately, Zhu Erniang quickly solved his confusion.

The giant spider demon casually swiped, and the bag under its claws broke, revealing one inside

"Loess?"

What is contained in a coarse cloth bag is actually the most common loess? There are blocks, some in bulk, and a little grass roots, but it does look like yellow mud is dry.

Zhu Erniang also stretched out her paws and stirred it twice, and even took out a little bit and put it in her mouth to taste: "This issue, there are a lot of impurities."

"You know, that's what salty clay is like." was bumped by Tu Zhongli's heel, and the steward hurriedly said, "It's not much different from what I sent before, they were all dug in the same lot, and the quality fluctuated, probably because it has rained a lot recently."

"That's your business." Zhu Erniang was unceremoniously, "The quality has declined, the price has decreased."

The steward opened his mouth to argue, but Tu Zhongli interrupted him and said, "It's okay, 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 subordinates rushed up, emptying the carriage and taking the sheep away.

They were tired of eating the prey in the swamp, and finally had the opportunity to taste the little sheep for a different taste.

Zhu Erniang said coldly: "It's still the same, you will live in the Jiana clan ruins tonight, don't walk around. Otherwise————"

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

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

If it is used to grow fungus blankets, it seems to be a little less.

"This is one of the bait for aphids. The spider guard urn was angry, this human had been walking around the camp for more than half a month, and he often talked to them, and he subconsciously answered. Besides, it doesn't know how to lie, "Eat salty clay before they lay eggs."

He Lingchuan let out a long "oh".

He'd heard that birds and animals would eat some of the dirt to replenish their nutrition, but he didn't expect the aphids here to need it too. It can be seen that the crypt spider is really an expert in grazing, and even the prenatal and postnatal care of aphids is clear.

Now he probably understands why the warm jungle environment here seems to be more suitable for crypt spiders, but Zhu Erniang's descendants are not as numerous as the ghost needle stone forest.

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

The Panlong Wasteland is abundant in production, and there are many aphid cattle to feed, and the spiders have abundant rations.

The Devil's Nest swamp probably produces very little salty clay, and the burrow spiders rely on humans to buy them from outside, so the population is limited.

It was already dark, and it was customary for the human caravans to stay overnight in the swamp and then load and leave tomorrow morning.

He Lingchuan is a big living person mixed in the spider group, and he can really be called the He Li spider group. These business travelers swept past at a glance, and it was difficult to see them.

After the team was disbanded on the spot, Tu Zhongli walked over, his eyes full of doubts: "What do you call this brother?"

"He."

"How did you end up in the crypt spider's lair?" Tu Zhongli asked the steward on the side, "Steward Zhao, didn't you say that people living in the Demon Lair Swamp should not enter?"

"Well, it stands to reason that is." Steward Zhao said carefully,

"But ......"

"There was a big flood in the Han River, and I was washed in. During this time, the crypt spider ate too much food and didn't eat me. But I can't get out either." He Lingchuan looked at Tu Zhongli and said, "What does Brother Tu do?"

"Me?" Tu Zhongli snorted, "I'll follow my uncle to do some business."

"I thought ......" This thing's body is hard, and it is about to catch up with He Lingchuan, as if a single punch can kill a cow, "This physique, being a businessman is really a bit of a waste."

He has been practicing martial arts for many years, so he has a vigorous spirit, what about this guy?

He looked at Tu Zhongli's walking posture, at least he was a good man, and he had a reckless atmosphere-

Since the encounter in Xianling Village, He Lingchuan has been extremely sensitive to the aura of bandits.

Tu Zhongli smiled, "Everyone says that. What do you do?"

"Mercenary, if you give money, you will work." He Lingchuan asked, "I heard that the Demon Lair Swamp is surrounded by mirage, how can you get in and out freely?"

Tu Zhongli smacked at Steward Zhao, who immediately said, "My lord rescued a few crypt spiders in the market a few years ago, they are all very large, and the hunter said that they were caught in a trap set outside the Devil's Lair Swamp, and they wanted to kill and sell the materials for money. My lord heard that these giant spiders could talk, and he 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 say that she wanted to do business with my family." Steward Zhao swallowed his saliva, "It originally sent out the giant spiders in the swamp to find a kind of salty clay, if we can supply it for a long time, it can ensure that we can enter and exit the swamp freely———— of course, it is only my house, and outsiders entering here are looking for death."

"I see, good intentions are rewarded." He Lingchuan nodded, knowing in his heart that this Zhao steward omitted a lot of details and did not mention them. For example, why Tu Zhongli's uncle specially brought the giant spiders to the outside of the Devil's Lair Swamp to release them, and why the spider queen could find them at once.

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

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

The spiders took Zhu Erniang's order and generously sent the swamp to breed big fish.
