Chapter 2256

Sun Hongye only glanced at it, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

Good, good, what a ferocious hairy spider!

Although its height is not as great as a horse's, it is very stout, and on its sturdy spider legs, every bristle looks sharper than a steel needle!

Hiss, just looking at it once, he felt his eyes ache.

However, he seemed to know who this was.

Zhu Xiuer had several eyeballs all focused on him: "Who is this?"

"I am sent by the Emperor's order to recall Mr. Sun from Fu State."

Mr. Sun stepped forward and also solemnly bowed to Zhu Xiuer: "I am Sun Hongye, I have paid my respects to the Spider Immortal, my lord."

"Oh, you are Sun Hongye?" Zhu Xiuer walked over casually, her figure although huge, but she walked silently, quieter than a person tiptoeing, "Jiuyou has mentioned you several times. Have you just come from Julu Port?"

"Yes." Sun Hongye carefully observed the scorpions in the pit, "Are the thieves who stole the Xuanjing all here?"

Chen Tongling said: "There is still one scorpion escaping."

But Zhu Xiuer was very sharp, and asked Sun Hongye: "What's wrong?"

"I just encountered a monster killing people in the town, it had a pair of bloodshot red eyes." Sun Hongye raised his hand to gesture, "About this big! It glared fiercely, full of killing intent, even in dark alleys it emitted red light, far larger than the eyes of these few scorpions."

Red eyes as big as a tangerine?

"Did it have whites of the eyes?"

"Er..." Such a strange question, Sun Hongye thought carefully, "Yes. There was a large ring, though it was pale yellow."

Zhu Xiuer thought for a moment: "How high off the ground?"

"About..." Sun Hongye drew a line at his chest level, "Chest height."

Zhu Xiuer fell silent for a few breaths, then asked Chen Tongling: "Did you just open the storehouse door?"

"We opened the door of Warehouse Number Three!" Chen Tongling replied, "These scorpions wanted to sneak into Warehouse Number Three, we caught them while also opening the warehouse to inventory the Xuanjing."

Warehouse Number Three is the largest warehouse here.

"Was the Xuanjing stolen?"

"No." Chen Tongling is also a smart person, he understood without Zhu Xiuer spelling it out, and turned to whisper: "Bring me the keys."

The group tiptoed to the edge of Warehouse Number Three, Chen Tongling carefully dismantled the defensive formation.

The warehouse storing Xuanjing, a place of great importance, has several layers of formation barriers protecting it, the most basic being the formation that forbids escape techniques, and the formation that turns the ground hardness into that of diamond, and so on.

For outsiders and foreigners to use sorcery to sneak into the warehouse, it is very difficult.

The best method, of course, is to have someone dismantle the formation and open the door, letting them in.

Chen Tongling was about to put the key into the keyhole, but Zhu Xiuer whispered:

"No need, you all step back, retreat further."

Everyone retreated ten zhang as instructed, and then saw Zhu Xiuer produce a large bundle of medicinal powder from somewhere, lift her leg and stamp out dozens of eyes, then she walked two circles around Warehouse Number Three, scattering two or three thick layers of the powder on the ground, warehouse walls, and ceiling.

This medicine is also light gray, blending with the ground, and odorless, but Zhu Xiuer herself carefully avoided it.

Just seven or eight breaths later, the ground and wooden pillars where the powder was scattered suddenly had movement:

Dozens of worms burst out, writhing frantically, still coated with powder!

"Centipedes!" Sun Hongye exclaimed, "Just like the one Lord Pu stabbed to death in the inn!"

These centipedes had been hiding well, but were driven out by the medicinal powder.

"It seems, back then, that monster already noticed you." Pu Hua whispered, "It sent only a centipede to take your life."

Sun Hongye felt a chill. At that time, fortunately, Pu Hua acted in time.

After only a few twists, these centipedes all simultaneously belched out their last breath.

Sun Hongye couldn't help but ask: "Did the Spider Empress kill these spies, will the thieves inside not know?"

"Perhaps they will. But..."

Before the words finished, a crackling sound was heard, the east outer wall of Warehouse Number Three suddenly collapsed, everyone's eyes were drawn there, and the guards immediately rushed to the east.

Immediately after, however, a shadow leapt out fiercely from behind the west wall!

Compared to the momentum it created, its size is not large, its height only over one zhang, and here there are tree shadows everywhere, it intended to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Among monsters, it is quite thoughtful.

Who would have thought that after Zhu Xiuer scattered the medicine, she quietly climbed onto the warehouse roof, curling her body up.

Just as this shadow appeared, the giant spider leapt forward with a pounce, fiercely jumping onto its back.

"... It seems the Spider Empress did this on purpose."

Zhu Xiuer knew the small centipedes and the thieves had a connection, the thieves placed them around the warehouse perimeter precisely to serve as an alarm. When someone came, they could warn their master; when they died, the master usually knew too.

For many monsters, this is normal operation, just like the eyeball spider to Zhu Xiuer.

Earlier, when the guards opened Warehouse Number Three to check the Xuanjing inventory, that thief took the opportunity to sneak in, originally planning to eat his fill, drink his fill, casually take some, and wait until the next time the door opened to leave.

But Zhu Xiuer killed all of its little spies at once.

The thief immediately understood, he had been exposed, and the enemy had surrounded him.

Then there was no point in continuing to hide, kill your way out, let's go!

It was also very cunning, it collapsed the warehouse east wall, but itself exited from the west wall, a standard feint east, strike west.

But what level is the old lady, how could she be easily fooled by it?

Though its leap was fierce, it seemed like a headbutt into an invisible great net, not only bouncing back, but also getting stuck.

Give Zhu Xiuer a little time, and she could set up a powerful insect-catching trap around the warehouse.

In recent years, she has cultivated a special spider silk, moon-white in color, especially in dark nights it is nearly invisible. She uses this silk to weave a double-net hook, its stickiness is even more terrifying, the harder the prey struggles, the wider the net sways, and the tighter it gets stuck.

When the monster bounced back, Zhu Xiuer leapt into the air, and over a dozen spider strands also stuck to it.

This thing raised its tail, and sprayed at Zhu Xiuer a stream of gorgeous powder mist.

Don't judge Zhu Xiuer by her round figure—her footwork is more agile than a swallow's, her steel claws lightly hooking the spider silk, whoosh—she lands ahead of time. She's already curled her eight legs, rolling twice on the spot like tumbleweed blown by a strong wind, instantly pressing down on her opponent!

Under the lamplight, everyone could now see the true face of this profound crystal thief—a huge millipede centipede, uniformly dark black, with a white line running from head to tail along its flank.

The instant Zhu Xiuer lunged at it, its tail lifted, suddenly releasing two clusters of red light—

"Red Eye."

Sun Hongye blurted out.

So this is the monster Red Eye he'd seen in the dark alley!

Actually, it's not on the eyes—it's a deceptive disguise on the tail.

The powder mist it spewed spread across the warehouse beams and pillars; only a few hissing sounds were heard, and these spots were all corroded into pink bubbles.

Pu Hua's face changed slightly: "Such potent acid poison!"
