Chapter 278 Spider King

Under the guidance of the villagers, Shan Zimo and others quickly walked out of the forest.

There is a small village in front of me. There are many protections set up on the periphery. The fences are made of sharpened logs, and the sharp tips are pointing towards the dense forest, as if guarding against something terrible.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the fence, the old man smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps you have seen the giant spider in the Thousand Spider Forest. We call it Liuqi, and it is the king of this forest."

"Six Wonders?" Li asked with a smile, "Could there be a Big Wonder and a Second Wonder?"

The old man stroked Li's head kindly, smiled helplessly and said, "What the little kid said is right! These six strange ones are the sixth generation of spider kings, and our people have been fighting against them for generations."

"This Spider King is so dangerous, don't you plan to move away?" Shan Zimo asked in confusion, with his hands folded over his chest.

The old man looked up at the Thousand Spider Forest, a trace of melancholy flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, and he shook his head, "We have been stationed here for generations to prevent the Spider King from continuing to migrate out, and also to rescue passers-by trapped in the forest."

Shan Zimo nodded, "What a noble character!"

They arrived at Spider Web Village, where the tribesmen entertained them with simple food and took care of the over-tired horses.

Shan Zimo found that the old man seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to start. So he simply walked to his side, sat down next to him, and asked softly: "Old man, since you have helped us so much, why don't you let us do something for you to repay your kindness."

The old man's eyes flashed with surprise and expectation, and he held Shan Zimo's hands with trembling hands, "To be honest, our ancestors have a tradition of sacrificing young boys and girls every year to appease the Spider King..."

Before the old man could finish, Yuwenlin spat on the ground, "Bah! What kind of bullshit tradition is this!"

Jianyun held down Yuwenlin, who was about to stand up to argue, and comforted him not to get excited.

The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "This hero is right to scold me! This is the first time I have succeeded the chieftain this year, and the first thing I did was to abolish this custom of cannibalism!"

Looking at the old man's determined eyes, Shan Zimo smiled lightly, "Why don't we help you eradicate the Spider King so that you don't have to worry about it anymore?"

When the old man heard this, he quickly stood up and was about to kneel down to Shan Zimo, but was stopped by Shan Boyu who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

The old man sat back tremblingly and sighed, "We have also asked for help from powerful people, but in the end they all became food of the Spider King. I dare not let you take the risk!" It is obvious that the old man's thoughts are very contradictory.

"Since you have been fighting the Spider King for several generations, why not tell us what the Spider King is capable of!" Dao Sheng leaned against the door frame, holding her knife in her arms, and asked lightly.

"This Spider King is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is not afraid of fire," the old man frowned, and forced a bitter smile. "We only dare to enter the forest during the day to look for survivors. The rest of the time we are consolidating defenses."

When Shan Zimo heard this, he was speechless. It was really too early to say "high moral character"!

"Master, do you have any solution?" Looking at Shan Zimo with a frown on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"This thing is invulnerable to swords and guns, and it's not afraid of fire either. So why bother fighting it!" Yuwen Lin tilted his head to one side, glancing sideways, examining the old man and other clansmen with his peripheral vision.

Shan Zimo tapped his chin lightly with his slender fingers, staring at the spider web on Dao Sheng's door frame, and said to himself: "It's not that there is no solution at all, it's just a little risky!"

"Master, why don't you tell me about it!" She looked at him kindly, her eyes full of expectation.

"Why not, while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!" Shan Zimo's eyes flashed with excitement. He called everyone to gather together and whispered a few words.

After listening to this, the crowd dispersed, some were excited, some were questioning, and some were surprised.

"It is indeed risky, but it is a good idea!" Dao Sheng praised, "Why don't you and I go? Among these people, only you and I have the strength to resist!"

After hearing this, the old man was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Shan Boyu, “I will set up an altar right away and pray for the two of you!” After saying that, he left Shan Zimo and his group.

"I'll go too, at least I can explore the way for you!" suggested Qu Xuanyue.

"We just need to follow the same route we came. You stay and help Jianyun protect the others!" Shan Zimo walked to her side, patted her shoulder, and looked at Xuanyue, whose cheeks were already blushing, lovingly.

There was no way to get rid of Shan Boyu! Shan Zimo and Dao Sheng had no choice but to take him with them and go back the way they came!

Following the wheel tracks, the three of them quickly passed through the Thousand Spider Forest and returned to the place where they cut off the carriage. When they checked the roof again, it was already empty!

"Going back may waste too much time!" Dao Sheng looked into the depths of the dense forest. It was obvious that going back was not a wise choice.

Shan Zimo squatted beside a huge rock and looked at it for a moment. "If you can't find the big one, look for its disciples first!"

White steam rose from his arms as Dan Zimo lifted the boulder. In the crevice under the boulder, curled up was the centipede that had been hiding here to rest during the day!

The frightened centipede was in a mess in the boulder pit. Dan Zimo gathered all his strength and threw the boulder down hard again!

Shan Zimo lifted up the boulder and dropped it down several times. The centipede was broken into pieces!

Finally, Shan Zimo threw the huge rock covered with centipede remains into the depths of the dense forest!

"Wait!" Shan Zimo gathered his internal strength, stretched his shoulders, and leaned on the roof of the car to rest.

Sure enough, after a while, roars were heard from deep in the dense forest, followed by the sound of countless legs crawling and the sound of trees being broken!

Shan Zimo and the other two immediately became alert, "Be prepared, I'll lure it in front, and you guys follow along to the side!"

Dao Sheng and Shan Boyu nodded and immediately hid in the bushes nearby. Only Shan Zimo stood in front of the boulder pit waiting for the arrival of the giant centipede!

Deep in the dense forest, a huge black shadow was approaching Shan Zimo, and the trees on both sides fell down one after another, but Shan Zimo found that the speed was indeed slower than last night.

"No matter how big it is, it is still a nocturnal animal after all. Its fighting power during the day is not as strong as at night!" Shan Zimo held the Frost Snow Dragon Chant Knife in his hand while backing away to lure the giant centipede towards the Thousand Spider Forest.

The giant centipede came to the huge stone pit, looked at his disciples who were crushed into meat paste, raised his head, and waved his two huge centipede claws, which collided with each other and made a terrifying noise!

In an instant, the giant centipede stood up half of its body, and the legs in front of its chest waved, which was dazzling. It was like a net that was set up to strangle Shan Zimo in the net!

The giant centipede twisted its huge body and pounced towards Shan Zimo!

Shan Zimo had a faint smile on his face, "Come on, there are good things waiting for you ahead!"
