Chapter 952

Sigh, I can't afford to use them. This set of formation talismans relies entirely on Profound Crystals to drive it, and the cost of using them is high.

If not for the restrictions of the Evasion Technique Prohibition Formation, the Beijia people could indeed use the Small Mountain-Moving Formation to come and go freely.

"Later, the large and small demon monsters in the surrounding area, as well as wild cultivators and hunters, frequently attacked my territory, and my offspring often went missing for no reason." Zhu Erniang said indignantly, "There are also old demon monsters living around Butterfly Valley; they said someone offered a Profound Crystal bounty, and hunting fifteen or more of my offspring could be exchanged for one; if they hunted a spider guard, one was enough."

Zhu Danniang was puzzled: "Didn't you find their hiding place?"

"They are extremely careful when coming and going; they probably used formations to hide, or simply hid in houses made of Mustard Seed Technique." Zhu Erniang replied, "There are bird demons among the enemies; as long as they carry the Mustard Seed House and fly away into the sky, I can't track them anymore."

No matter how capable Cave Spiders are, they don't have wings; how can those running on the ground be faster than those flying in the sky?

The Mustard Seed Technique is a rare divine skill; He Lingchuan only knew that the Songyang Mansion could perform it, and Beijia indeed had people who collected Mustard Seed Houses. When Fu Shanyue previously surrounded the residence to capture Cen Poqing, the latter hid inside the Mustard Seed space "Bili Cave Heaven," found someone to take him out of the residence, and almost succeeded in escaping.

"So, your relationship with the surrounding neighbors is bad again, right?"

Zhu Erniang gave a hum. The surrounding demon monsters were all catching her offspring to exchange for Profound Crystals; could the neighborhood relationship still be friendly?

Besides, she was an outsider; what reason did the local demon monsters have to help her?

Zhu Danniang was very angry: "When you encountered difficulties, why didn't you tell me sooner? I would have helped you kill them all!"

Her younger sister was just too soft-hearted. If the two sisters went together, it was impossible for the other side to deal with two giant spider demons.

"What's the use of telling you?" Zhu Erniang said gloomily, "At that time, you had just left White Sand Harbor in the Yuan Nation and were drifting on the sea."

"..." Zhu Danniang calculated, and it seemed that was the case. At that time, she was indeed on a long sea voyage, drinking with He Lingchuan and Dong Rui all day long.

But she understood her sister after all, and after a second thought: "What did you plan to do then? Move again?"

Zhu Erniang remained silent.

Having been entangled with these Beijia bastards for several months, she was indeed impatient and had the idea of moving again. It just so happened that He Lingchuan's invitation letter arrived at this time.

Zhu Danniang gave a long "Oh": "So you had wanted to come over for a long time, huh?"

Zhu Erniang stared at Zhu Danniang with twelve eyeballs; how could her own sister's claws turn outward? Didn't she just want to be a bit reserved? Could the treatment be the same for being invited and for coming over on one's own initiative?

What kind of soul-stirring soup did that He guy feed her sister? They hadn't seen each other for only a few months, so why was she getting stupider! He Lingchuan naturally understood Zhu Erniang's little thoughts. He coughed, interrupting the eye contact between the sisters: "Having dealt with them for so long, do you know the other side's name?"

"I only heard his subordinates call him Lord Yu, and I don't know which 'Yu' character it is." Zhu Erniang thought for a moment, "But when this leader first talked to me—through my offspring—he reported himself as being under the seat of National Master Frost Leaf of the Beijia Nation."

"National Master Frost Leaf?" He Lingchuan felt a jolt in his heart.

He had only met National Master Frost Leaf once in Lingxu City, but he had intricate connections with this Grand National Master! The Lingxu Messenger Disappearance Case, the Elixir of Immortality Case, the Cen Poqing Case—the core of all of them was the battle of magic between National Master Frost Leaf and National Master Qingyang.

This bloodless dark war finally ended with the victory of National Master Frost Leaf.

Based on He Lingchuan's impression of National Master Frost Leaf, as long as there was involvement with this person, the matter definitely wouldn't be simple! "Whether this team found you by accident or not, Lingxu City should already know the news of your appearance in the eastern part of the Mou Nation and has made further instructions." He Lingchuan pondered, "Beijia is full of talent, and I don't know who this 'Lord Yu' is, but his strategy is very cunning. Before, they had few people and never confronted you head-on, but they wanted to make you feel squeezed everywhere in the Mou Nation so that you couldn't stay and would have to move again and again."

"If you hadn't come to the Yangshan Archipelago, they would still be following you like a pack of wolves, waiting for you to reveal a flaw, waiting for you to show signs of fatigue and make mistakes in defense. By that time, they would have also waited for reinforcements from Beijia to give you a fatal blow."

Within the Mou Nation, Beijia couldn't summon a large army, but they could summon some strong individuals.

"Erniang, you are cautious by nature, unlike Danniang who is..." straight-forward, "fearless. Encountering such persistent enemies that you can't catch, you can only move away."

And every time Zhu Erniang moved, it was a great blow to her vitality; a large amount of fungal mats, food, and supplies couldn't be taken away. The offspring had nothing to eat during the transport, and Zhu Erniang had to spit out nutrients to feed them.

The enemy saw her weakness, which was why they constantly harassed her, cutting off the connection between the Cave Spider nest and the surrounding environment, forcing her into a dead end again and again.

In the past, General Red relied on brute force to deal with Zhu Erniang.

Beijia, however, changed their tactics.

This is a very clever approach. I have to say, as a demon nation, Beijia has many tricks for dealing with these prehistoric giant demons.

Hmm, no. He Lingchuan stroked his chin; this set of methods has a very strong style of National Master Frost Leaf.

So, will this game turn into a match between him and Frost Leaf?

With a "thud," Zhu Danniang's claw tip fiercely chiseled a hole in the reef, sparks flying everywhere.

Zhu Erniang wasn't as agitated as her, but turned back to issue a few instructions to the little spiders, telling them to block the last corner of the fish trap and then set the net.

"You told me that as long as I settled in the Yangshan Archipelago, I would be safe from now on, which is why I moved here." She looked back at He Lingchuan, "Now, do you still dare to say that?"

He Lingchuan changed from his original casual and unrestrained manner, sat upright, and said seriously: "I keep my word!"

The spider demon sisters looked at each other.

Facing the pursuit of a powerful nation of the current era, he could still make such a boast? If someone else said it, they wouldn't believe a single word! But He Lingchuan was different.

This young man's past was the best guarantee.

Zhu Danniang couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do?"

"Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth covers." He Lingchuan smiled slightly at them, "Erniang, don't let your mood be disturbed by 'Lord Yu' like before, don't mess up your own formation, and don't take these Beijia pursuers too much to heart. Dig holes when you should dig holes, produce when you should produce; everything should proceed step by step."

What? Just like that? Zhu Erniang was greatly disappointed upon hearing this and was about to retort, but discovered that her sister beside her was actually silent.

Usually, when her sister heard such nonsensical words, shouldn't she be the first to jump up? Why was she able to keep her cool this time?
