Chapter 497 Gift
Baldy was the last one to go up. When he sat down, the body of the strange bird sank noticeably and was almost crushed to the ground.

But soon a strong airflow rose from under its body and lifted it up again.

The secretary bird spread its wings and flew into the dark sky.

They flew for about forty minutes, and Chiling Town had long been left behind and disappeared without a trace. Malu was becoming more and more confused about where they were going.

On the way, he also asked Baldy why he didn't transport the gifts to Chiling Town first.

The expression on Baldy's face is very mysterious, and you'll know when you hear millipedes.

After they flew for a while, a new town appeared in their sight.

"Nightmare Town is ahead."

Baldy introduced the millipede to the lord, "That is the territory of the evil weaver. The gift I want to give you is there."

"Uh...did you store your stuff there?"

"Deposit? That's about right." said the bald man.

At this time, the secretary bird had already arrived above Nightmare Town, and Baldy signaled it to descend.

Unlike Chiling, there are no houses in Nightmare Town, only large pits one after another, as uneven as the surface of the moon, and there is no one in the town.

Just when Malu was wondering where everyone had gone, he saw dozens of figures suddenly emerging from the big pit.

There were all giant spiders with human faces on their backs. They had obviously spotted the secretary bird in the sky. Without even saying hello, they just opened their mouths and spewed spider silk into the air.

The secretary bird seemed a little scared when it saw the spider silk coming towards it, but the next moment, the voice of Baldy exploded from mid-air.

"Keep descending, I'll take care of those annoying guys down there!"

After saying that, he jumped off the secretary bird and slammed into the ground like a meteor!

The flames that he had deliberately suppressed suddenly exploded the next moment, engulfing more than a dozen large spiders and burning all of their spider webs.

Baldy did not stop and then attacked the other spiders nearby. With his distraction, the secretary bird avoided the sparse spider web and landed steadily on the ground.

Except for Coconut Milk Jelly and Xiao Weige, the other members of the project team attacked the human-faced spiders without saying a word.

Malu was dumbfounded. "Aren't we here to get something? Why are we fighting?"

"I'm here to get something," said Xiao Wei, "but we have to kill the guards first."

"Ah, isn't that robbery?"

"You can understand it that way." Coconut Milk Jelly said, "But there is actually no concept of robbery in our abyss. No matter what it is, whoever grabs it will own it."

"The team leader heard that there were good things in Nightmare Town, so he brought you, Boss Ma, to get them. Don't worry, our entire project team is dispatched. It's more than enough to deal with Nightmare Town. There will be no danger."

"........."

Malu didn't know what to say, so after a pause, he continued, "They're all on, so why don't you two?"

"You don't need us," Xiao Wei said with a smile, "In fact, the team leader can handle it alone, and the others just want to stretch their muscles together. As for the two of us, we are only responsible for one thing this time, which is to protect you, Boss Ma."

What Xiao Wei and Coconut Milk Jelly said was right. Soon, those human-faced spiders were killed by the people of Chiling.

Especially Baldy, the flames on his body seemed to be very effective in restraining these human-faced spiders.

The latter couldn't get close at all and was burned to death at a distance of more than ten meters.

After clearing the area, Baldy kept walking and went back into the hole.

Coconut Milk Jelly said, "Come on, let's go down too."

Malu's sprained ankle was healed by the town's chiropractor on the way back to Chiling.

Hearing this, he followed Coconut Milk Jelly down the secretary bird and walked into the cave.

The cave was not as damp as he had imagined, but rather dry, although the smell was not very pleasant. There were forks in the cave, and Malu wanted to remember the way back, but he got dizzy after a while and could not remember at all.

At the fork in the road, human-faced spiders would occasionally jump out and attack them.

However, before they could take action, they were basically all killed by Baldy. Occasionally, there were some fish that slipped through the net, but there were coconut milk jelly and Viagra waiting for them.

Beigong Meng floated beside Baldy and showed him the way.

The group rushed through the underground cave that was like a maze, and finally came to a stone hall.

The stone hall was littered with spider cocoons, some of which were still moving, as if something was about to come out of them.

Baldy ignored the spider cocoons, killed all the guards here, and went straight to the center of the stone hall.

There was a box with a pure white cross embedded in it, emitting a holy light.

Baldy walked forward, roughly crushed the runes on it, opened the lid, and after seeing what was inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction.

"Yes, the stuff is still there. It should have been delivered just now and they haven't had time to use it yet. We arrived at the right time."

Upon hearing this, the millipede also came forward.

There was only a simple-looking pottery jar in the sarcophagus.

"Is this... the gift you were talking about?"

"That's right." said the bald man.

"Why does the workmanship feel a bit ordinary?"

"No, the gift is not the jar, but what's in the jar," explained Baldy.

"What's in the jar?"

"soul."

"what?"

“To be precise, they are soul fragments, which are usually formed by the obsessions of the deceased during his lifetime. Soul fragments have no consciousness or perception, but if left alone, they will turn into evil spirits.

"So the church on the ground regularly sends priests to collect soul fragments, seal them in clay jars, and bury them somewhere."

"These soul fragments are extremely rare in the Abyss. For example, the Vicious Weavers use them to breed offspring, and the offspring they give birth to are much stronger than those who don't use soul fragments.

"Well...but the question is what do I need these soul fragments for? I don't need to raise little spiders." Malu said.

"As far as I know, soul fragments are also a special ingredient." Baldy said, "very popular among chefs in the universe."

"what?"

Malu then turned on the food scanning function of the traveler's bracelet, and a notification popped up the next moment.

——Ding! Congratulations on discovering the 7-star ingredient [Soul Fragment]. The [Soul Fragment] illustration has been unlocked.

Malu was shocked for a whole year, even though he had seen all kinds of strange and exotic ingredients before.

However, I was still a little dumbfounded when faced with the soul fragments.

This thing is actually a food ingredient? And it has a 7-star rating.

Is this reasonable?

Before the millipede could digest the news, Baldy urged again.

"Boss Ma, we have found the gift, pack it up quickly. The vicious weaver grandmother will wake up soon. Although I am not afraid of it, it will be troublesome if we really fight it."
