Chapter 950: Spider Queen
Furthermore, the archipelago has rich products in the future, and expanding contacts and broadening business routes is the unshirkable responsibility of He He Lingchuan, the Island Master.
But when he returned to the Yangshan Archipelago, Zhu Zhu Xiuer would always appear nearby.
Once or twice was fine, but three or four times, He He Lingchuan found it strange. Zhu Zhu Xiuer had always disliked humans, especially places with many people.
Why didn't she stay on her own Silk Island?
"Big Sister." Zhu Zhu Xiuer wandered around him again, walking on eight legs, He He Lingchuan felt he could see the entanglement on its forehead, "If there is anything, just say it."
"Hmm..." Zhu Zhu Xiuer hesitated, "Nothing."
He He Lingchuan knew that this had to be taken in reverse; Zhu Zhu Xiuer's personality was so straightforward that she rarely stammered.
"Did Yao Erniang make things difficult for you?"
The relationship between this pair of spider sisters was always a bit peculiar. Zhu Zhu Xiuer had explosive combat power, while Zhu Yao Erniang had many schemes. In terms of dealing with people and things, Zhu Zhu Xiuer was no match for her at all.
"Not exactly. But it only mentioned one thing to me after moving into the new home on Silk Island—" Zhu Zhu Xiuer had been awkward for so long, and finally couldn't help but spit it out! "It moved once in the east of Mou Nation."
"Oh?" He He Lingchuan asked casually, "Was it dissatisfied with the first location?"
Zhu Yao Erniang had thousands of offspring, and moving once was not easy. How long had it been in Mou Nation? Only half a year longer than He He Lingchuan, why move again? "That place was quite good, but it couldn't stay, because Between Beijia found it!" Zhu Zhu Xiuer was angry about this point, the sister played tricks and was not honest, and didn't explain the pros and cons before moving! Now that the sister moved to the Yangshan Archipelago, would it bring disaster to the door?
"..."
"..."
One man and one spider, staring at each other, speechless.
Zhu Zhu Xiuer said such heavy news, originally thinking He He Lingchuan would be shocked and jump on the spot, but he blinked and asked back: "Just this?"
"Are you not worried?" A normal person hearing about a nightmare coming to the door shouldn't be terrified? Seeing He He Lingchuan's calm face, is this the reaction he should have? "I thought it was something big." He said lightly, "What should come will come."
Zhu Zhu Xiuer looked at him with twelve eyes, determined that he was really not angry, and then let out a sigh of relief: "If I had known you would have this reaction, I would have told you earlier."
As a result, it struggled for so long by itself.
"What else did Yao Erniang say?"
"Oh, it wants you to go to the island to discuss."
He He Lingchuan was dumbfounded: "How many days ago was this invitation?"
"Two days ago, that is, after it revealed the truth to me." Zhu Zhu Xiuer was angry, "I didn't want to talk to it for these few days!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." He He Lingchuan wanted to pat it to show comfort, but seeing the long legs of the big sister covered in thorns, he gave up this idea, "Let's go, follow me back to Silk Island to see Yao Erniang."
The new tenants have moved in for a few days, and he, the landlord, should also care about them.
Looking from a distance, or rather from the surface, Silk Island was no different from before. The shore was still rugged with reefs, and the island was still lush. Only occasionally could one see spider webs hanging on the treetops and in the stone crevices.
Since He He Lingchuan sacrificed the Punishment Dragon Pillar, these islands were no longer shrouded in Earthly Yin Qi, and began to have living creatures visiting. In just a few days, birds were already singing in the forest, and the variety of insects crawling on the leaves had increased, unlike before, when there were only small black insects living in the Earthly Yin Qi.
There were no roads on Silk Island, and there were stones everywhere, whether round or sharp. He He Lingchuan was lazy, so he lay on Zhu Zhu Xiuer's forehead and let it carry him to find the cave spider nest.
These eight legs were much more stable than two legs, and he didn't feel a bump even with his eyes closed.
Soon, the cave spider nest arrived.
In fact, He He Lingchuan had long heard the rustling sound coming from the surrounding forest, a sound he was no stranger to, exactly the sound of cave spiders' long legs scratching the fallen leaves on the ground.
Zhu Yao Erniang sent small spiders to welcome them.
Climbing over the steep rock wall, He He Lingchuan felt the air becoming more and more humid. It was not that it never saw the sun all year round. From morning to noon, the sun would hit the open and thick stone wall like a screen, so the medicinal herbs in the stone crevices grew well.
Below the rock wall, a dark stream flowed silently.
This was the environment cave spiders liked most.
The spiders crawled through an inconspicuous crack, and He He Lingchuan discovered that the further back, the more spacious the space, and he didn't know if it was originally like this, or if the spider group deliberately expanded it.
Cave spiders are masters of environmental transformation, knowing very well how to dig holes to be safe without collapsing.
There is still sunlight here.
He He Lingchuan found that the ground was covered with a thick layer of black soil, soft and humid, without a single weed. Several small spiders wandered around, and when they saw birds coming down, they immediately drove them away.
Zhu Zhu Xiuer told him that seeds had just been sprinkled here to grow the base grass for the bacterial blanket.
The so-called base grass is three kinds of plants carefully selected by Zhu Yao Erniang, rich in the nutrients needed for the rapid growth of the bacterial blanket. If there is no base grass to lay the foundation and supplement, the growth of the bacterial blanket might not be very good.
"So particular? I thought the bacterial blanket could grow directly in the stone nest." The bacterial blanket is the bottom link of Zhu Yao Erniang's unique agricultural chain, which is both a pasture for aphids and a culture medium for various delicious fungi and fluorescent spores.
"Need base fertilizer. When the time comes, cut the base grass and pine needles into pieces and feed them to the bacterial blanket."
Then, they entered the cave, isolating the sunlight.
Every zhang, there was a glowing fluorescent spore above, illuminating the originally dark cave clearly.
Spider webs were everywhere.
He He Lingchuan had seen this set many times in the Demon Nest Swamp, and didn't feel strange at all.
The place chosen by this pair of sisters was a corrosion cave, with big caves covering small caves, walking through one after another, and connecting to the sea corrosion cave toward the shore. According to Zhu Zhu Xiuer, the expansion project here had just begun, and they had to expand and widen until the entire cave was accessible in all directions, and even the two giant spiders could come and go at will.
Calling it a residence, He He Lingchuan scratched his head, this is an underground fortress/maze! In terms of sturdiness, it didn't seem much different from the Demon Nest Swamp of the past. Ordinary people would be dizzy after two or three turns. He didn't know how these cave spiders recognized the way.
"Then where is Yao Erniang?"
"In the bay."
Zhu Zhu Xiuer took the Island Master He through another nine turns and eighteen bends, even he was confused, only to find the sky bright, and it turned out that he had drilled out of a sea corrosion cave, and one more step would step into the seawater as clear as glass—
The cool breeze brought the salty smell of seawater, and they arrived directly at the bay.
