After the Fairy Disappeared

  The opposite party was not to be outdone, and stood up immediately, even higher than Zhu Erniang.

   It was a giant black and gray python. Its body was coiled among the reeds, and its exact length was unknown, but its chest was nearly five feet (1.6 meters) in diameter, and it had whiskers under its jaw.

  It opened its mouth to demonstrate, and the fangs that popped out were like scimitars, more than four feet long.

  The wind happened to blow towards the shore, and He Lingchuan soon smelled a foul wind.

  The swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the battle seemed to be about to start, He Lingchuan quietly hid back.

   I don't know what method the two parties used to communicate. After about a dozen breaths, the giant python lowered its head, and Zhu Erniang also retracted her legs.

   After a while, the boa demon turned its head to the north and meandered away.

  Zhu Erniang watched it leave before crawling back slowly.

  Passing by He Lingchuan, it suddenly said: "Aren't you overjoyed, thinking that if two powers fight, you will have a chance to slip away?"

   "How can it be?" He Lingchuan smiled perfunctorily.

"Boshan Jun loves to eat people, and he eats them raw. The prey that is swallowed whole by it can feel itself being digested in its stomach." Zhu Erniang seemed to be laughing too. It has lived for thousands of years , is there not as much heart as a young boy? "If you fall into its hands, your fate will be ten times worse!"

   Then it walked back to the magic nest with its big belly.

   This turmoil dissipated before the fight started.

  Based on He Lingchuan's perception, the giant python is more afraid.

  …

   It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, spiders often found water corpses in the swamp. Sometimes beasts, sometimes livestock, sometimes humans, often accompanied by a large number of driftwood planks, basically washed down from the upper reaches.

  These are the consequences of the Han River flood.

  He Lingchuan occasionally found the floating corpse of Mrs. Yuan. After so many days floating in the swamp, it was already swollen to the point of disfigurement, and only the clothes on her body could be identified.

   I don’t know how the war in Tobikita is going. He couldn't go back either, so he could only dig a hole silently to make them rest in peace.

  In fact, in the past ten days, he noticed that the spider group's attitude towards the two humans had changed from neutral to unfriendly.

   Especially to Dong Rui.

   It's not Zhu Erniang, but a group of spiders in the swamp crypt.

   This is due to Dong Rui's inhumane, um, inhumane way of conducting experiments. The spider demons designated as experimental subjects were still intact and healthy when they entered, but six or seven legs were broken when they came out, and all of them were light. Same swollen, still swaying when walking.

  Some of them lost their heads, some of them were crazy and denied their relatives, as if they were suffering from mania.

   Anyway, there are all kinds of strange things, and there is no good end. Not to mention the spider demon whose spiritual wisdom has already been opened, even He Lingchuan shuddered when he saw it.

  He finally understands why this guy can arouse the anger of people and gods in all countries:

  Take off his upper limit, but still can't touch the lower limit of others.

  He Lingchuan reminded Dong Rui more than once, and even Zhu Erniang came to find the demon puppet master when she heard the protests of the spiders, but was blocked by him saying "If you don't do this, you won't be able to do it".

   Oh, it can be done this way? He Lingchuan is not optimistic.

  Every time he passed by the spider group and heard the rustling voice behind him, He Lingchuan could feel the malice from the spiders. The Devil's Nest Swamp is not a place to stay for a long time, even if Zhu Erniang is willing to let them go in the end, these little spiders are probably thinking about settling accounts after the fall.

  …

  But at least for now, with Zhu Erniang's order as a talisman, He Lingchuan is still safe. Spider demons are pure in nature, and their discipline is better than that of worker bees. Apart from helping Dong Rui, he walked around under the cold eyes of most spiders.

   During this walk, He Lingchuan discovered that the actual size of the Demon Nest was at least twice as large as that of the Chifeng Mine. After all, this place has been in business for more than ten years, but the other side has been finished in a few days, and the quality varies greatly.

  Just looking at the scale of this devil's lair, he knew that the abuser who lived here was of a high rank. He didn't know how Beja Kingdom defeated it back then.

   Herein lies the oddity——

   It stands to reason that the battle should have been quite tragic, but he didn't see many supernatural powers or traces of the indiscriminate bombardment here, or even any damage caused by the fighting.

   You know, even if only three patrol teams entered the Chifeng Mine, they left many traces there.

  Perhaps, the Demon Nest was too powerful at that time to repair itself?

  There are too many things that don't make sense.

  However, the structure of the lairs created by the abusers is similar, after all, they all imitate the human body.

  He Lingchuan wanted to go to "Panchang" for a few laps, but was stopped every time, saying that it was a restricted area. The spider guards at the gate were almost as big as the guards at Zhu Erniang's gate, and they were formed into three groups to guard against death.

   Don't enter unless you are allowed to enter. He Lingchuan has good observation skills and found that the frequency of crypt spiders entering and leaving this place in groups is far better than other locations of the magic nest.

   And what they transport are fluorescent spores, grass, algae, and even some fermented fertilizers. It was the first time He Lingchuan saw that monsters were also proficient in composting.

  Seeing this, he knew what was going on.

  Crypt spiders were originally not creatures with strong collective action ability, and were relatively loose, but once monsters appeared in this group, it was likely to transform into a biological structure like a beehive and ant nest. Among other things, leopards were originally lone rangers, and the family of the leopard demon quartz will live, cooperate and practice together, and even their descendants will still be like this after more than a hundred years.

  Now these crypt spiders have an orderly division of labor and cooperation, and they must be looking after food for a living.

  Finally, one day, He Lingchuan found several burrow spiders walking in, carrying something like a glutinous dumpling on their foreheads, which was white and soft and could move.

  He saw this thing in a dream——

   Aphid larvae.

   Sure enough, Zhu Erniang led the spider group to do their old job in the magic nest!

  Open a ranch.

  The length of the human intestine is astonishing, at least six meters straight. The total space in this part of the Devil's Nest is not small. Although it cannot be compared with the old nest in the Ghost Needle Forest, as long as the spiders control the temperature and humidity well, the creeps can thrive, the aphid cows can produce honeydew, and the spiders have a stable source of rations.

  He already knew that these burrow spiders would not easily change their diet to only eat fish and shrimp.

  But in reality, Zhu Erniang hadn't been burned by He Lingchuan on the aphid pasture, otherwise it would never have put humans in its lair, it was too close to the pasture.

  Do you want to repeat the old trick and repeat the actions in the dream in reality? But even if he can escape from Zhu Erniang's territory, how will he break through the mirage at the edge of the swamp?

  …

  He Lingchuan planned secretly, and occasionally consulted with Dong Rui.

  Dong Rui now is devoting himself to the experiment besides eating, drinking and messing around. He has to work hard for 30 days, and he doesn't take He Lingchuan's new information to heart, just let out a faint "oh".

  Crypt spiders open a pasture, so let's do it, what does it have to do with them?

  He Lingchuan pressed his hand holding the medicine bottle, and his voice was like a mosquito, almost only the two of them could hear:

   "It's been more than half a month. Let me ask you, can Zhu Erniang's medicine be made?"

  Dong Rui glanced at the door and said in a low voice, "No."

  「...「Is it so simple?」「Then you try a ball!」「Still trying to escape?」

  Dong Rui sighed, and showed the patience of giving lessons to laymen: "It's not difficult to prepare the medicine for making goblins. I have experience and skills, and even some ready-made medicines. You only need to fine-tune them. The biggest problem lies in Zhu Erniang herself."

  「What happened to it?」

"No two beasts have exactly the same characteristics, such as the monster puppet. The point of making them is to cause non-directional mutations." Dong Rui shook his head, "But Zhu Erniang is an ancient demon fairy, although the method of transformation reduces his own cultivation. , but its body and demonic nature are too stable, um, not only stable, it is as solid as a rock. These medicines may not be of any use to it, at most it will cause diarrhea."

  「Taking a step back, if the drug works, it will suffer intense and prolonged pain. I have experimented with so many monsters

   During the process of transforming the puppet, none of them could stand it. "

  The process is extremely painful, but the result is unknown. Just to fight against Yuanli, is Zhu Erniang willing to pay this price?

  He Lingchuan was puzzled: "Then what are you fussing about these days?"

"It's a luxury to experiment with living ancient demons and sloughs, even if it's only a small part!" Dong Rui laughed. Experiment, where do you usually find such a good opportunity?"

  In the past, when he wanted to create monsters and puppets, he always beat them to death first. The higher the rank of the monster to catch, the greater the risk. Otherwise, why would he be wanted by Beja Kingdom?

  Here is simply his scientific research happy nest.

   "What are you going to do when the time limit is up?" He Lingchuan reminded him to be realistic first, as time flew by so fast.

  Dong Rui scratched his head: "Let's talk."

   Being disturbed several times by He Lingchuan, Dong Rui quit the workaholic mode. Of course, it was also because his mind was a bit overwhelmed after intense labor.

  The moon is full tonight, so the two simply walked to the entrance of the magic nest, sat by the water in the tiankeng and drank, watching the silver glow pouring down the ground.

  He Lingchuan has always hidden good wine in his storage ring, so he took it out at this time, one jar per person.

  Looking up from the position of the two of them, they saw that the full moon was like a silver basin, and the light shone on the water, shining like stars.

  Dong Rui stared blankly for a while, then heaved a long sigh.

  Does this kind of person know how to hurt the spring and the autumn? "Why are you sighing?"

   "It's nothing." Dong Rui didn't wear a mask anymore. No creature in the swamp thought he was ugly. In the eyes of the spider demon, He Lingchuan was probably as ugly as him.

  As soon as he drank, a little wine leaked from the crooked corner of his mouth.

  He Lingchuan was used to that horrible face, and asked him again: "What's the matter with your face?"

  Dong Rui only drank and kept silent.

   After a while, he wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth: "A woman's hand."

  He Lingchuan was taken aback: "So ruthless?"
