fifth form

Chapter 3413 Cave Chamber
Zhang Xuezhou created the illusion that Hu Yu was investigating, but he didn't expect that Hu Yu would actually come.

Having eliminated any potential magical seals that might be affecting him and dealt with 'Dingkui', Zhang Xuezhou, holding the Fortune Golden Turtle, continued to approach the Spider God's Cave.

As they drew closer, the image appearing on the auspicious golden tortoise became clearer and clearer.

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to dive into the underground river to search, he heard a tiger roar in the air, accompanied by waves of mental energy.

Hu Yu's meaning is very simple: let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other's affairs. The river he dug up and burned in the underground oil well is the dividing line.

On this side of the dividing line, anything can be done; on the other side, the status quo must be maintained, and the spider colony cannot be allowed to multiply and cause destruction without restraint.

He was willing to give face, but the Spider God's disruption of the status quo aroused his great dissatisfaction, especially since the other party had taken away his white dragon and white horse captives.

Amidst the continuous roars, Hu Yu even resorted to invoking his elder status to make threats.

Although he shouted fiercely, Zhang Xuezhou could tell that Hu Yu was all bark and no bite.

Without Dingkui, Huyu was like someone whose wings had been cut off. He still possessed great strength, but it was insufficient to cope with the current situation.

If you lack the ability, make up for it with empty talk.

Hearing the other party's repeated roars and calls, Zhang Xuezhou quickly plunged into the icy water of the underground river.

As long as the Spider God descends and can focus his attention on Tiger Breeding, this will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for him to investigate.

Zhang Xuezhou's fluorescent markers were still visible in the river. At this point, there was no need for a scout or leader. Zhang Xuezhou traversed the underground river at an extremely fast speed, constantly probing areas with abnormal water temperatures.

"This should be it!"

Meltwater from ice and snow is extremely cold. While some hot water flowing into it does not affect the overall temperature of the river, it can cause temperature changes in the direction the river flows.

With careful observation, even at the entrance, one can likely discern subtle differences in water temperature.

After repeatedly confirming the route, Zhang Xuezhou abandoned the Montesbaton route and began searching for a new one.

Continuing along the underground river, and relying on fossil techniques to destroy several underground caves that were difficult to navigate by diving, Zhang Xuezhou saw the red copper color emerging from the Fortune Golden Turtle before his eyes.

At this moment, the image of the Golden Turtle of Fortune did not include the giant rock, which was jet black and shimmered with red copper color and light. The Spider God's descent had obviously left the giant rock.

"Could this thing be an altar for communicating with the Spider God?"

Zhang Xuezhou had not witnessed the sacrificial scene of the Spider God ritual, and Montespatton did not make up what he had seen, so as not to cause any misleading behavior.

He carefully examined the boulder and kept an eye on the scene around the cave where the Spider God's descent body was, thus judging how far away the other party had gone.

The boulder did not emit any spiritual energy, and apart from being extremely hot, it did not exhibit any other special characteristics, which led Zhang Xuezhou to quickly rule out the possibility that it belonged to the category of spiritual jade.

The Spider God's descending form, within the image of the Fortune Golden Tortoise, swayed its eight legs on its abdomen, constantly moving towards the entrance of the Spider God's Cave.

It was unclear whether the other party was hiding or that this was its only speed. The Spider God's descent was moving at a speed similar to that of an ordinary person running, unlike the ferocious spider that was as fast as the wind. It took a very long time to traverse the winding cavern.

When the familiar cave passage came into Zhang Xuezhou's view, he quickly determined the other party's location and calculated the distance by comparing it with the location at the end of the glacier.

"Three, two, one!"

After waiting patiently for a long time, the Spider God's descent body drew ever closer to the cave exit.

Countless spiders guarded her body from all sides, and as she opened her mouth to emit warning sounds, Zhang Xuezhou also began a countdown.

The fossil technique involves cutting into the stone and extending upwards continuously.

A nearly one-meter-thick layer of karst rock collapsed, and Zhang Xuezhou carved out a small, passable space in that area.

He leaped up, and the cave space where the Spider God's descent body was located quickly came into Zhang Xuezhou's view.

In the dim red glow shimmering on the boulder, everything here seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood.

There were no spiders in the cave, but some scraps of cloth remained on the ground, along with remnants of an unwrapped 'ground roller,' firearms, and long knives. The Omega-style design suggested that someone from that country's sequence had perished here. Judging from this arrangement, these remnants did not belong to a woman like Montesbingo, but rather to someone from another sequence.

Zhang Xuezhou hadn't even finished scanning his surroundings when he felt a gust of wind behind him.

A golden light appeared around his body, and a muffled groan followed.

"Steel mill?"

With a quick glance, Zhang Xuezhou saw Montess's steel fists swinging repeatedly.

The opponent's strength was limited, and he had been genetically modified by Montespatton into someone with a gene type similar to Zhou Xin who could withstand beatings, so the force of the continuous blows was not enough to break his body.

He could almost defeat Hu Hao, Bai Jiao, and Bai Ma with a single blow, but against someone like Montes Ganghao, it would take several rounds of back-and-forth fighting.

He threw a punch with his right hand, and Montessler instinctively dodged. When Zhang Xuezhou reached out to grab it, the other man dodged again.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou used his control that he managed to grab Montess Ganghao's neck in a rapid movement. After delivering several heavy punches, Montess Ganghao, whose eyes were glowing red, collapsed with wide eyes.

"The steel dagger is still lying here?"

Fossil techniques can reconnect caverns damaged by fossilization, but damaged steel cannot be restored to their original state.

Even if the Spider God's incarnation is slow-witted, it will notice that this place has been explored.

Zhang Xuezhou originally intended to come and leave quietly, to gather information before discussing joint actions with the others, and even to combine forces in the underground river below the cave to kill the Spider God's descending form.

But things would inevitably be discovered to be abnormal, and he would never have that opportunity again.

"This guy didn't do any work, he just kept causing trouble!"

Whether Zhang Xuezhou knocks Montessler unconscious or kills him, the other party's unusual behavior will inevitably be noticed.

When he had a headache, Zhang Xuezhou could only try to scavenge something or cause some damage that the Spider God's descent could not withstand, so as to weaken the opponent as much as possible or cause conflict and anger to be directed at Hu Yu.

"This place is ridiculously poor!"

The Spider God Guardian still wielded the divine weapon 'Thorn', but the cave space was empty, with nothing but some remaining debris on the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou searched back and forth, but couldn't find a single item of value.

He stared intently at the spider god descending upon the golden tortoise of fortune, responding to the tiger's nurturing, and scanned it repeatedly.

After a while, Zhang Xuezhou turned his gaze to the black boulder where the Spider God's descent body was sitting.

Although he didn't know what the black boulder was for, the Spider God's descent form was sitting on it, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that even a stone stool should be crushed.

"If she's sensitive to the cold, without this heating stone, she'll freeze to death if she lives in this kind of cave for a long time..."

Muttering his unreliable guesses to himself, Zhang Xuezhou thoroughly scavenged the area, since besides the Montes steel mace, there was nothing else left to destroy in the cave.

A fossil spell was cast, and the shell powder of the gold and stone mineral layer fell off.

But the fossilization technique quickly lost its effect; the copper-colored outer shell peeled off, and Zhang Xuezhou could only see a flesh-colored membrane emerging.

Like a sequencer soaking in a tank waiting for the development of a resistance layer, a creature that is neither human nor spider emerges from the membrane, its body bobbing up and down in the red solution.

The opponent's physical form was almost identical to the Spider God's Descendant that Zhang Xuezhou had seen on the Golden Tortoise of Fortune, the only difference being the difference between the juvenile and mature forms.

However, unlike the intact human-bodied spider-tail creatures that Zhang Xuezhou had seen before, this juvenile creature still had a claw mark on its face.

If he wasn't mistaken, Zhang Xuezhou thought it was very likely a trace left by Huang Daoxian.

It's clear that Huang Daoxian used his trump card and believed he could defeat his opponent, which is why the Spider God Liao Meng, who is skilled in healing, still has scars.
