Chapter 3423 Holy Spring
The tents, meant to shelter from the wind and rain, were filled with fierce and turbulent struggles.

It wasn't unusual for Zhang Xuezhou and Seven Spiders to talk, but their exchange made Montespatton's eyelids twitch.

He had seen this scene before, but that was a long, long time ago.

At that time, he could only stand aside, looking at the negotiators with hopeful eyes.

Many years have passed, but whenever Montesbarton comes to his senses, he can still picture himself caught in the middle, drifting along with the tide.

He had vowed to break free from this fate, but after struggling for so long, Montesbatton finds himself still trapped in this vicious cycle.

He became stronger and had more resources. He could even quickly raise an army of hundreds of thousands through decrees and laws, but nothing changed.

The spider-legged woman was able to enter Zhang Xuezhou's tent silently without being detected, indicating that she possessed the ability to kill him. Not to mention, he was still entangled with evil thoughts, and his life and death were almost entirely in her hands.

Whenever Zhang Xuezhou shows signs of weakness in his fight against Seven Spiders, Montespatton doesn't think his fate will be any better.

"A complete breakup?"

Zhang Xuezhou, inside the tent, gestured with his hand, his nonchalant tone nearly making Montespatton jump up.

Do you think you can get out of here safely?

Seven Spiders' smiling face gradually turned as cold as ice.

Even though she knew Zhang Xuezhou was negotiating with her, Seven Spiders couldn't gamble.

"Even if you have the ability to fly away, what about them?" Seven Spiders gestured to the outside of the tent.

“They will suffer losses, but some will be able to fly away from here with me,” Zhang Xuezhou sneered. “You don’t think I’ve brought all my forces here, do you?”

“Generally speaking, the less you care about something, the more you emphasize it,” Seven Spiders said.

"Then you can wait for me to bring another hundred-man squadron," Zhang Xuezhou sneered. "Maybe I'll even airdrop a few tons of explosives on you, or maybe I'll reward you with some rockets!"

"Oh!"

Seven Spiders remained silent for a few seconds, her anger gradually subsiding, and she was able to think more calmly.

Zhang Xuezhou's relentless and head-on confrontation forced her to realize that without the opportunity of the Spider God Liao Meng's descent into her body, she would find it difficult to leverage his power. If she did not want to be eliminated in the various clashes, she needed a temporary ally.

This ally could be an old cultivator like Nine-Headed Bone, whom we need to be wary of, or it could be the young man in front of us.

Seven Spiders kept scanning Zhang Xuezhou from head to toe, trying to see something out of him.

After a long while, she finally gave up investigating Zhang Xuezhou's background. From his clothing to the rules he followed, Zhang Xuezhou had the characteristics of a dynasty. He was naturally incompatible with cultivators like them. Such a person was unreliable as an ally, but he was very qualified as a temporary ally. After all, he had not established any presence in this territory, so he couldn't scheme for anything.

"You can drop the explosives you mentioned on Huyu's territory, and you can also drop more rockets!"

The first thing the Seven Spiders and other cultivators did after arriving was to adapt to this world, and figuring out the information about this world was also inevitable.

They might capture cultivators, torture them repeatedly to extract information, eat them to extract their memories, or, like her, create half-dead individuals to control and continuously familiarize themselves with relevant information.

Seven Spiders knew about bombs and rockets. It would be a joke if a cultivator were blown up by such explosives, but these kinds of supplies were indeed quite good for surprise attacks, especially since Zhang Xuezhou and others had the ability to airdrop them.

"Oh!"

"Hu Yu took some important things from me, and I hope to get your help. In return, I will not only fulfill my previous promises, but I will also give you a gift!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Xuezhou's attitude was somewhat flippant and dissatisfied, but Seven Spiders didn't pay much attention to it and directly presented the conditions.

When forceful oppression failed to achieve its purpose, the Seven Spiders quickly shifted to a gentler approach.

She didn't mind her exposed skin at all. As she reached down to her abdomen, she pulled out a bottle that gleamed with a reddish-copper luster. "What's this?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

“This is our sacred spring,” Seven Spiders explained. “A simple application is all it takes to heal injuries!”

"That doesn't sound very good!"

Zhang Xuezhou raised his eyebrows slightly, showing no interest whatsoever in even opening the bottle to take a look.

"Aren't you hurt?" Seven Spiders asked in astonishment.

Why did you get hurt?!

The material of the bottle that Seven Spiders took out was all too familiar to Zhang Xuezhou; this bottle was made of black rock that sealed the body of the Spider God Liao Meng.

He certainly wanted to obtain relevant information, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't show any interest, lest he become suspicious if he got involved.

The less interested he is in this, the more likely Seven Spiders will trust him.

"You won't get hurt, but your men will always get hurt!"

Zhang Xuezhou's appearance was exactly like "Why don't they eat meat porridge?", which made Qizhu feel a little heartbroken. However, she had tested Zhang Xuezhou's strength and found that he was not injured or bleeding. This made his statement more credible, which forced Qizhu to point to other people as the treasures that she could trade with him.

“If someone gets injured and dies, we can just replace them,” Zhang Xuezhou scoffed. “I have plenty of people; there’s no need to spend too much money on treatment!”

“This approach is correct, but you still have elders and younger generations, as well as a wife and children. Perhaps they will have needs at some point,” Seven Spiders advised.

“Our allied nations have developed embryo reproduction technology, which allows us to reproduce without the need for elders. Even if I die, another version of myself can be produced,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Uh?"

"Zhang Hao, Zhang Huang, come here for a second!"

While Qi Zhu was still in shock, Zhang Xuezhou called out towards the outside of the tent.

Two heads suddenly popped out of the tent, where no unusual sounds had been heard before. Their similar faces made Seven Spiders, who was following the gaze, twitch.

"Your skills are amazing!"

Before Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang could even get close, Seven Spiders could tell that the two were extraordinary.

Comparing the youthful faces of the two men with Zhang Xuezhou's more mature appearance, Qizhu felt that given time, these people might also possess the strength that Zhang Xuezhou had demonstrated.

"This spider demon is incredibly powerful!"

Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang greeted Zhang Xuezhou, and after glancing at Qi Zhu, the two began to whisper among themselves.

Transformation is a standard; being able to perfectly transform oneself means that the other party is not lacking in other abilities.

Regardless of the world or cultivation system, the Seven Spiders before them possess top-tier strength, surpassing Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang, who have not yet recovered their original power.

How many languages ​​are spoken here?

Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang communicated in the language of the Crimson Alliance, which Seven Spiders couldn't understand.

She glanced at the two of them, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and casually asked a question, while her mind was constantly thinking about the conditions she should offer.

Theoretically, she only needs to pay this much to form an alliance with cultivators like Nine-Headed, White Bone, and Six-Eared, but how can she possibly unite with these cultivators in such a short time?

Moreover, when joining forces with these cultivators, there will inevitably be intrigue and backstabbing. These cultivators are definitely not going to charge headlong into battle; at most, they will provide assistance, and there is no shortage of the possibility of stabbing someone in the back.

After much deliberation, Seven Spiders had no choice but to take something out of its abdomen again.
