Chapter 140: Chapter 115: Geomagnetic Stone; Unscientific Inner Mountain Phenonon
Goosebumps instantly broke out across his skin.
’Spider silk strong enough to bind a man’s wrist... Just how big would that spider have to be?’
’But spider silk doesn’t take this long to decompose. This person has already been reduced to a skeleton. Did the silk co later?’
He glanced around.
Sure enough, to his right, he spotted the faint traces of crushed flowers and low-lying grass. The signs weren’t obvious, but they ford a trail that led toward the cave entrance.
Clearly, the two skeletons had been bound by spider silk, dragged out from the cave, and dumped here.
Cheng Zongyang also noticed that each skull had a finger-sized hole in it, clearly pierced by the suspected spider-like creature!
’Shit!’
’A creature capable of killing two Ninth Grade Martial Artists... It has to be an Exotic Beast!’
For so reason, the terrifying spider from the King Kong movie he’d seen in his past life ca to mind.
He looked at the cave entrance a hundred ters away, then glanced at the sky above it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging by the size of the entrance, the suspected spider-like Exotic Beast wasn’t *that* big.
Not far away was the cave entrance, its natural appearance like a masterfully crafted disguise by nature itself. At this mont, it looked like the maw of a beast, ready to devour any life that drew near.
His gaze returned to the skeleton in black robes. He used his knife to poke around so more and, a mont later, spotted another Jade Box inside its tattered clothes. This Jade Box was a bit smaller and much thinner than the one from the bundle.
He picked it up, stored it in the Wilderness World, and continued to search. Finding nothing else, he prepared to dig up the ginseng. He had to be quick and careful; if that terrifying creature showed up, he’d have to make a run for it.
*CRACK...*
As he moved, he stepped on a rock that tilted, causing him to shift his weight and step on a dry twig.
The sharp snap wasn’t loud, especially with the waterfall so close.
However, the sound of the snapping twig seed to trigger sothing.
A rustling sound imdiately erupted as countless spiders sward in from all directions.
The scent of the Seven Herbs Powder kept the closest ones at bay, but it also seed to agitate them, driving them into a frenzy. It was the fury of having an enemy invade their territory, yet being unable to attack.
Even though Cheng Zongyang didn’t have trypophobia, the sight made his scalp crawl.
Most were the size of a thumb, but there were even a few the size of basketballs.
Without a second thought, he turned and ran.
It wasn’t just about being afraid of the spiders; a commotion had also started at the cave entrance.
"SKREEE!!"
A piercing shriek erupted from the cave. In the next instant, as Cheng Zongyang ran, he caught sight of a horrifying spider the size of a full-grown water buffalo charging out. Its legs coiled and sprang, launching it through the air toward him.
’It really is an Exotic Beast!’
In a situation like this, Cheng Zongyang had no desire to fight—nor did his strength permit it. With a single thought, he vanished.
Without his market stall and its limited offensive and defensive capabilities, he wasn’t arrogant enough to pick a fight right at the entrance to an Exotic Beast’s lair.
He had only managed to kill the Wolf King and the Black-Horned Python thanks to the help of his market stall.
The Spider King landed only to see its prey vanish into thin air. A look of confusion filled its bizarre eyes, as if it couldn’t comprehend how its target had disappeared. It waved its forelegs angrily, letting out another piercing shriek.
All of its surrounding spawn imdiately dropped to the ground, motionless.
A mont later, the Spider King returned to its cave, and the others scattered.
「Wilderness World, Inside the Market Stall.」
Cheng Zongyang took out a wooden basin. Using his knife, he nudged the bundle open and tipped all the gold and silver Jewelry into the basin to soak.
Then he handed the two Jade Boxes to Ma San to open. ’God only knows what’s inside them,’ he thought.
