Chapter 422 If I Can’t Finish It, I’ll Take It Away
"And the builder of the 'Eternal Bridge', the goddess calls him the 'Spider God'."
When she heard the name at the end of St. Luan's words, Catherine's face suddenly froze, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
…
Bai Zhi has been "hanging out" in the dreamland for three days.
There are only three days left before the full moon night arrives.
During this time, she traveled in the dreamland on the Nightmare, going to different places every day, looking for clues to leave here.
——Methods include but are not limited to obtaining information from indigenous races in various regions, talking to dreamers, etc.
But with little success.
Today, just as she was riding Night Dire through a dense purple jungle, she suddenly received an excited message from Xiao Shu:
"Wait a minute, Master!"
"What's wrong?" Bai Zhi asked back.
She rarely heard Xiao Cui's voice transmission reveal such obvious emotions, and she didn't even have time to add a modifier.
——Except two situations.
One is when you take off your clothes and take a shower;
Second, Xiao Cui found an opportunity for promotion.
"Supreme, plump and noble master, there seem to be many strange monsters around here!" Xiao Cui excitedly said:
"It's deep in the jungle in the southwest!"
"Okay, let's go take a look." Bai Zhi nodded slightly.
Since he can't get out of the fantasy dreamland in a short time, if he can further grow the little curse here and master more levels of curse power, then it will be worthwhile.
A few minutes later, Bai Zhi and Ye Dieng landed in the jungle and discovered a turbulent purple-black river about three meters wide. The humidity here was heavy, the temperature was slightly cool, and both sides of the river were full of jagged rocks and long branches. The low trees were showing off their teeth and claws.
What's also striking is that the purple-black water in the river looks viscous, rolling down like sauce.
Following Xiaocui's induction and guidance, Bai Zhi followed the rapid, viscous purple-black river back to its source.
The further you go to the source, the more weak Gu insects you get along the way——
There are toads with eight legs, colorful worms, crystal clear butterflies...and all kinds of weird Gu insects that cannot be named or described, including snakes with upper bodies and centipedes with lower bodies, or fleshy balls with eyes.
When Bai Zhi saw these things, he didn't let them go. He caught them all with snow-white spider silk all over his body. After binding and packing them, he asked Night Dire to help carry them around, just like a bodyguard accompanying the Queen when she went shopping.
Seeing the silk cocoons hanging on the Night Dire's hands and the spikes on its wings, Bai Zhi couldn't help but recall his own experience of foraging like this as a spider.
But now, she no longer has to eat poisonous bugs, and can instead feed her own natal Gu bugs.
The source of the river is hidden deep in an untouched primitive jungle. In the valley covered by the shadow of life, non-human bones are scattered all over, and the rustling of insects becomes increasingly clear.
“If I can’t finish the cake, I’ll take it away~”
Humming a small tune along the way, packing as he walked, when Bai Zhi came here, night had already enveloped him, and he was walking alone in the valley on a night with mist covering the stars and eerie silence.
At this time, the silk cocoon wrapped around Nightmare could no longer hang on, so Bai Zhi stopped under a rock wall and let Little Curse begin to devour the Gu worms.
Before Night Dire could put down all the silk cocoons, the insect-shaped earrings shot out a meteor-like black light and sank into those white silk cocoons, as if there was a big mouth. Every second passed, there was a Gu inside the silk cocoon. Insect life disappears.
Through the spiritual contract, Bai Zhi could feel that familiar changes were brewing inside Xiaocui, just like the negative emotions he absorbed in Jingchu City last time.
"Hiccup... is not enough, Master." After devouring all the Gu insects, the little curse was still lingering.
"There's more inside...but it's also risky. Master, you have to be careful..."
"I know it without you having to tell me. Don't worry, I will feed you today." Bai Zhi told Nightmare to continue on his way.
After walking through the river valley, she finally saw a dark cave that was so dark that she couldn't even see her fingertips. Various strange smells wafted from it, making her wrinkle her nose.
She did not rush in, but spread out a huge spider web with a diameter of a hundred meters and shot it towards the rock wall high above her head.
Flutter and rustle.
The sound of a large number of flapping wings sounded, as if they were trying to escape from the shackles of the spider web, but it was too late. All the mysterious creatures on the rock wall above were trapped in the dense spider web.
She looked carefully and found that the creatures were actually snails with bat wings, hanging upside down, and their mouths were a ring-shaped row of fine teeth, similar to lampreys.
"There are probably thousands of them. Let them hang here for a while, and then we can pick them up when we come back."
After adding two more layers of spider webs for reinforcement, Bai Zhi stepped into the dark cave.
The air inside is flowing slightly, indicating the existence of a huge underground space.
She believed that there must be more dangerous and powerful Gu insect creatures inside, and the 'Spider Sense' also sent a warning.
There were more piles of bones scattered inside the cave, which would make a clicking sound when stepped on, but strangely not a single Gu insect was found.
After walking in the cave for about ten minutes, some rustling sounds suddenly came from a corner.
With his 'dark affinity' and mental power, Bai Zhi saw two milky white front ends similar to tentacles shaking irregularly in the darkness, as if transmitting some kind of signal.
The coverage of mental power continued to expand, and a creature covered in mucus penetrated Bai Zhi's perception.
It was crawling in the sea of bones and mud in the cave, like a maggot, with layers of fat wrinkles on its body and a forked mouth on its head that looked like a petal.
With powerful mental induction, Bai Zhi initially determined that it was a creature of low status.
The illusory characters in front of him also proved this.
[Object]: Burrowing Worm (Strange·Evil Body)
[Life Force]: 582
[Body Length]: 63m
[Status]: Stable
"Uh... Such a big guy, is it still a Gu worm? Can you eat it?" Bai Zhi was suspicious.
"Hehe, it counts, as long as it is a Zerg or has the characteristics of Gu, and I can eat it. I'll trouble you to knock it out for me... Otherwise, I can't open my mouth..." Xiao Zhu said embarrassedly.
"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded.
A long bone knife stretched out from under her wrist, and then went straight to the worm's big mouth like a petal.
With a sound of "puchi", the long knife pierced through the "heart of the flower" and deeply penetrated the throat and stomach of the worm, all the way to the bottom.
Before the long knife could be stirred or pulled out, the "earth-drilling worm" trembled violently, and drops of fishy juice spurted out from the place where the long knife pierced, almost splashing onto Bai Zhi.
