Chapter 3396 Nine Heads
The mutated seed plants in Huli Port are still thriving, their lush foliage blocking the lanes that have been formed by decades of trampling.

The journey north from Huli Port is long. If one does not intend to stay in Qinmeng for an extended period, coordination from the Omega Alliance is required before a quick route to the Spider God Cave can be reached. The return journey, however, is another troublesome matter.

Airbus can only use parachutes to land when flying over uninhabited areas.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang both failed their first skydive and fell into the water, a situation similar to the near-fatal accident involving Xu Lu during his skydive.

"Guys, the airdrop means we have no way out. If we can't resolve this once and for all, our chances of escaping and surviving will be very low!"

Montesbatton did not use airdrops to approach the Spider God's Cave. This method would have been faster, but it would have meant relying solely on foot to escape, resulting in a very low survival rate when pursued by ferocious beasts.

Zhang Xuezhou explained to Zhang Hao in detail the preparation and landing procedures for the parachute, which involved issues such as wind direction, as each parachute jump presents different challenges.

He eventually decided that he could attach several spare parachutes to Zhang Hao and the others. If they lost their balance, they could abandon the original parachute and re-open it after adjusting their body position. After a few tries, they would definitely become proficient.

"Professor Zhang?"

After Zhang Xuezhou resolved the issues with Zhang Hao and the others, Montesbatton had no choice but to call out to Zhang Xuezhou.

He now regretted entrusting the hunting of the ferocious beasts entirely to the people of the Crimson Alliance. These people were too focused on speed. It was one thing to kill the beasts quickly, but they also prioritized speed when heading to the Spider God's Cave. They hadn't even considered that the Airbus couldn't carry everyone away.

“I’d like to ask how we’re going to leave after this operation?” Montesbatton asked.

"I think we should leave on foot!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment, then looked at the coordinates of the Spider God's Cave.

He didn't choose the convenient method because of the tightness of his time travel; the more important reason was that the strange fusion of the spider legs made Zhang Xuezhou somewhat uneasy, as did the fluorescent spots on Zhou Rihui's arm.

These fluorescent spots are not toxins and do not spread due to squeezing. Washing with seawater has no effect, and they are difficult to remove by cutting the skin or flesh.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the fluorescent spots had characteristics of magic, which was very likely the reason why the ferocious spider kept chasing Montesbatton.

If you look closely at Montespatton, you'll see that his body is covered in these fluorescent spots, including Montespatton's body.

For a ferocious beast, this might be like the brightest star in the night sky, allowing it to accurately track and locate the target.

If these fluorescent spots were only used for tracking, that would be fine, but Zhang Xuezhou was also somewhat worried that there might be other components mixed in.

The faster the problem is solved, the better. Zhang Xuezhou felt that it wouldn't be a good thing if the fluorescent spots were to cover Zhou Rihui's entire body.

For every minute the speed increases, the fluorescent spots on Zhou Rihui's body will spread less.

He couldn't help but inquire about Zhang Hao, since Daojun originated from West Kunlun, and the Kunlun Heavenly Court also had expertise in incantations.

"Kill those four ferocious beasts first, then see what the situation is!"

Zhang Hao responded in a low voice.

The cultivators of West Kunlun always dealt with problems in a simple and brutal way, but this was also the most effective way to deal with curses.

Few people can discern the physical condition of Zhou Rihui, Montesbottom, and others, and almost no one can accurately judge the abilities of different systems.

“You can’t walk too far on two legs in a day. It’s one thing for Zhou Xin to be a good fool, but he can keep running after he’s eaten and drunk his fill. Can all of you keep running? And this Grian!” Montespatton pointed to Grian, who was constantly flipping through the filming records not far away. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were too confident and had not considered their escape route at all.

“I heard you’ve set up some underground bases in Qinmeng. Taking out some vehicles shouldn’t be a problem,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

“Look at this location. This is the closest base I have to the Spider God’s Cave. The straight-line distance between the two is over 1,100 kilometers. With the mountain roads and curves, it would probably take another 2,000 kilometers,” Montespatton said, pointing at the map and shaking his head. “Even if we run 180 kilometers a day in the mountains and forests, it would still take us ten days to half a month to run. Along the way, there are also troubles such as spider swarms and the need for food and supplies. If we are caught off guard and chased by ferocious beasts, it would be a death trap!”

"It's not that serious!"

A team comprised entirely of seventh-order individuals is virtually unparalleled in its strength.

No one wears a 'Seventh Sequence' label on their head, but that's the standard for everyone who comes from the Red Alliance.

Moreover, the group has sufficient supplies, so surviving in Qinmeng for a period of time is not a problem. If they can hunt wild animals to supplement their food, they can last even longer.

"There is another Fire Meteor being in this area. He seems interested in the Spider God's Cave. When you lead the team, you need to be careful to guard against the risks he may bring!"

Montespatton somewhat regretted letting the Red Alliance people negotiate internally. After Zhou Xin understood the situation of the team commander, he cooperated without seizing power or abusing his seniority, and there was no situation of non-cooperation.

He spent a long time learning from Zhou Rihui and Zhou Yueyan, filling in almost all the details of what had happened to him since he left Xijing City, before finally integrating into the team.

"What are the characteristics and abilities of this fire meteor creature?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"I followed a ferocious beast leader with wings and a tiger. He once revealed that there was a ferocious beast with nine heads there," Zhou Xin said. "That beast needs to be killed nine times in a short period of time to die. If it is killed even once less, it will be reborn. He also said that it can only be killed in one blow at a special moment, but I don't understand what that moment is!"

Nine heads? Resurrected?

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

He had heard Hu Yu reveal information about the fire meteor creatures that entered Qin Meng, including one called 'Nine-Headed'.

The name Hu Yu used was not formal; it was more like a nickname. Zhang Xuezhou was surprised that the nickname was so apt—Nine Heads really did have nine heads.

This fire meteor creature called Nine-Headed has rather strange abilities, but Zhang Xuezhou had witnessed the Gaozu Emperor being killed forty-eight times in a row, so he wasn't surprised by it.

The other party's ability involves regeneration, which overlaps to some extent with that of the ferocious spider beast. It's normal for them to be interested in the Spider God's Cave.

Perhaps out of fear of these ferocious spider beasts, or out of dread of the Spider God Liao Meng, or perhaps waiting for an opportunity, Jiu Tou did not participate in the direct conflict and was currently more of an observer.

"He can repeatedly come back to life and still doesn't dare to provoke these ferocious spider beasts. He's probably just troublesome, but his strength is probably average!"

Nine-Headed Serpent is undoubtedly an object that needs to be guarded against.

Zhou Xin's message came at a very opportune time, and everyone took it seriously.

After a brief analysis, Zhang Hao characterized the nine heads.

"But if he sees an opportunity, he will definitely risk his life to take advantage of it, after all, he has the advantage to do so!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao added that he had mentioned the potential trouble the other party might cause.
