fifth form

Chapter 3412 Escaping the Night
Everything is subject to change and variables, so there is no fixed solution.

Zhang Xuezhou could hardly predict the situation he might encounter. His actions were simply an effort to obtain more relevant information and to find the parts of that information that were beneficial to him.

To launch a reckless attack without investigation requires absolute strength, and no one can completely overwhelm the descending form of the Spider God Liao Meng.

"It was a bit of an unexpected bonus!"

With the addition of two ferocious beasts, the White Dragon and the White Horse, to the team, their return to the Spider God's Cave is progressing very slowly.

Zhang Xuezhou exchanged prisoners, handing over two large ferocious beasts. The white dragon and the white horse were wild beasts, native to Qinmeng. These beasts were far less valuable than tigers like Huhao and Huyu, but killing them directly and letting the little spiders eat them to reproduce would be a waste.

Ultimately, the Spider God Guards led the ferocious spider beasts and a huge number of spiders on the transport.

It is difficult for people to traverse the winding mountain forests, let alone for large and ferocious beasts.

Many powerful nations have faced numerous logistical challenges in their past hunts of ferocious beasts, and the Spider God Cave is no exception.

If the Spider God Cave were further away from the hunting grounds in the eastern region, Zhang Xuezhou believed that the White Dragon and White Horse would inevitably be abandoned, and thus directly killed to feed the breeding spiders.

Just like ants carrying things, spiders also use a similar method, relying on countless tiny spider silks to pull and shift positions to transport the ferocious beasts forward.

This was an extremely precise and coordinated transport operation. While marveling at the spider swarm's seamless teamwork, Zhang Xuezhou was also very satisfied with the efficiency brought about by this division of labor.

The urging to release the sealing magic forcibly extracted the power from the bodies of many ferocious beast spiders, and now relying on these ferocious beast spiders to transport the ferocious beasts, the physical energy consumption of these ferocious beasts is enormous.

No matter how strong the ferocious spider's ability to recover from injuries is, without the stamina to attack, it is just a sitting duck.

Perhaps there is a method similar to embryo cultivation technology. As long as the power of the rules used for restoration is recovered, the Spider God Cave can use the backup to mass-produce ferocious beasts. Killing these spider beasts will inevitably bring another batch of spider beasts.

Compared to encountering that kind of scene, weakening the power of these ferocious spiders while maintaining survival is an excellent thing.

Zhang Xuezhou and others even cooperated, having everyone use two-wheeled and three-wheeled mountain bikes to pull each other, creating a peaceful scene.

"We expend mechanical and electrical energy, while they expend physical energy!"

When Ren Anran asked Zhang Xuezhou about her doubts, Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief response that instantly cleared up her confusion.

Killing can weaken an opponent, and so can keeping them engaged in physical activities.

It seemed like Zhang Xuezhou was helping out of kindness, but this help actually bound the ferocious beasts in the Spider God Cave very tightly.

As long as these ferocious beasts are protected from death, perhaps the emergence of new ferocious beasts in the Spider God Cave can be prevented.

Humans are not perpetual motion machines, and ferocious beasts cannot always be full of energy.

One hundred and fifty li is not a long distance, but it is not short either; it is enough to exhaust the ferocious beast.

"You take charge of the team, I'm going to go check out the situation over there!"

As darkness fell, the spiders, capable of nocturnal movement, allowed Zhang Xuezhou and his team to take advantage of the darkness, which made travel difficult, to set up camp and adjust their position.

Zhang Xuezhou pointed in a direction, and Ren Anran responded in a low voice by pointing at Zhang Xuezhou's body.

"'Dingkui' is in Barton's sealed box. I can retrieve Dingkui to break the sealing magic. The mark that avoids the spider swarm is nothing special. Xuanming can't use it to trace it, and the possibility of it being sensed in reverse is very low!"

Tiger Yu didn't come, but it wouldn't be difficult to create the illusion that Tiger Yu had come.

Zhang Xuezhou can also remove the sealing magic from his body, thus avoiding the possibility of being discovered, even if there is a small chance.

He looked at the eerie green sealing magic on his body. Although this magic was an auxiliary technique, it was extremely conspicuous at night, like the eyes of a wild beast.

Of course, removing the sealing magic is not difficult.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a pang of regret that he couldn't make good use of the technique. As for the group's ability to avoid the spiders, it seemed more like the Spider God's cave had changed its rules, thus preventing the spider swarm from attacking them, rather than the Spider God expending his power to unleash a spell on a large group of people.

After a brief conversation with Ren Anran, he went to Montes Barton.

After his face turned pale and then flushed for a long time, Montespatton finally took out the sealed box from his back.

"Don't throw it away carelessly this time!"

He had to ask Zhang Xuezhou a question. Montespatton wasn't worried that Zhang Xuezhou would embezzle the treasure; he was worried that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't take the 'Dingkui' seriously and would lose it.

Having witnessed Zhang Xuezhou lose the "Dingkui" and seen him discard the "Ji" without hesitation, Montespatton was genuinely worried that Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't know how to cherish things.

"It definitely won't be lost. If you don't trust me, I'll leave my treasure with you as collateral!"

Zhang Xuezhou slung the sealed box over his shoulder and handed over the Poison Tree Staff. Montesbatton reached out to grab it twice but couldn't lift it, so he had to reluctantly decline.

"What do you mean by collateral? I asked you to come and help, so it's only right that you bring something!"

After gritting his teeth and speaking in a low voice, Montespatton watched as Zhang Xuezhou picked up Ding Kui and left. Montespatton felt as if his heart was bleeding.

In his efforts to win the top prize, he nearly ruined his health and caused internal strife in the Omega Alliance. If Zhang Xuezhou fails to return his treasure, Montespatton feels he will definitely feel regret and distress.

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

Zhou Xin grumbled, and then Zhang Xuezhou, who was camping in the distance, shouted.

"Tiger Yu, where are you running to?"

A fierce storm arose, and a streak of colorful light burst forth in the dark night sky, streaking across the distance like a shooting star before plummeting far to the east.

The Spider God Guards stationed beside the White Dragon and White Horse quickly leaped into the high forest and frantically chased after them, stepping on the spider webs repeatedly.

After a shout from the crowd in the camp, Ren Anran, who was leading the way, ran at top speed.

The incident occurred right after the 'Dingkui' was borrowed. Montespatton knew without even thinking that it was a setup, and everyone else was just putting on an act.

He was pushed and shoved by Zhou Xin as he walked, and during the several miles he traveled, he thought about almost all the most painful things in his life.

"I hate these flying creatures, how can I possibly catch them!"

Before the group could finish their investigation, they heard the Spider God Guard mimicking Montes Bingo's voice coming from the spider web above, indicating that the other side had clearly lost track of Zhang Xuezhou.

"Our leader said that Tiger's Dingkui is extremely powerful. Spider God, could you give our leader another sealing magic spell?"

Ren Anran's loud question came, accompanied by the Spider God Guard's stammering.

Clearly, the Spider God's descent was now too far away to reach Zhang Xuezhou and could no longer use its abilities against him.

"It seems we can only wait for the leader to return. Everyone, let's go back to camp and rest. If the leader doesn't return tonight, we'll search for him after dawn!"

If one looks closely for flaws, Ren Anran's communication and command still have weaknesses.

If they had truly encountered danger, they wouldn't have waited until dawn to search for Zhang Xuezhou; they would have searched for him throughout the night.

But Ren Anran's words made some people realize the situation.

While a group of people has a huge advantage in combat, they are inferior to Zhang Xuezhou in reconnaissance.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhang Xuezhou quickly shook off his pursuers and would inevitably investigate the information he had gathered in order to obtain the results he wanted to verify.
