The Source of the Ferocious Beasts

The Qin Meng region is home to a complex array of ferocious beasts, the exact number of which remains unknown to this day.

However, there is a growing consensus that the challenge is quite difficult.

That means those large, ferocious beasts might be targeting them, allowing them to use various terrain advantages to launch flanking maneuvers.

However, when facing smaller ferocious beasts, these beasts can also squeeze into places where humans can, thus negating any advantage of terrain. This is why many people try their best to avoid encountering these beasts.

The appearance of the eight-legged spider in the heavy truck camp sent chills down Qin Zhong's spine.

But he had no choice but to fight, lest the heavy trucks dragging these ferocious beasts be rendered useless.

With a loud shout, Qin Zhong retrieved his genetic weapon, the 'Flying Wheel,' and Wang Haoran, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy, also joined the battle.

"It has had six legs ripped off by Chimmon Hagrid, so the risk is much lower now. Don't kill it!"

Ren Yisheng poked his head out from the heavy trucks in the rear area and shouted, while Zhou Rihui yelled to avoid getting too close.

"This beast that the dog raised can even disguise itself, it's disguised itself as a tiger! I just can't understand it, it's giving me nightmares!"

Chimmon Hagrid cursed loudly.

Chimmon Hagrid wasn't afraid of eight-legged spider-like beasts, at least that was within his understanding, but he feared beasts that deviated from normal genetic development.

For example, a ferocious beast skilled in melee combat might suddenly spit venom, a slow-moving ferocious beast might possess two pairs of wings, and other ferocious beasts might overcome their own weaknesses. Such situations that deviate from the normal development of genes could undoubtedly redefine the Gene Sequence and could also create Sequence Holder.

This means that their current Gene Sequence may be incorrect, or it may contain significant deficiencies.

It doesn't matter much for those at Sequence Holder, but once you reach the level of Chimmon Hagrid, turning back is almost impossible.

The fighting subsided, and reinforcements arrived, allowing Chimmon Hagrid to breathe a sigh of relief after his near-miss.

"Camouflage?"

Qin Zhong had been feeling uneasy, but after being reminded by Chimon Haig, he calmed down considerably.

He spun the flywheel in his hand, and after a few pulls, the legs of the eight-legged spider, which was unable to move easily, got stuck in two of the flywheels. Its body, which was already struggling to support itself, swayed back and forth, like walking on stilts, going up and down. It had to try to stabilize itself, and the white silk in its mouthparts had to be retracted.

After a series of wild shaking and thrashing, the eight-legged spider found itself trapped in its own spit, which, mixed with a large amount of yellow soil, stuck to its body, making it increasingly sluggish.

"You're quite capable at cleaning up this mess!"

Chimmon Hagrid gave a thumbs-up, then reached out and pulled out two suture needles and hooks that had been used to stitch wounds in the medical room.

"I told you you should have given me more nutritional supplements. I'm so weak right now, I can't even use slightly heavy weapons, otherwise I would have crippled this guy already!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou approach, and Ren Yisheng jumping off the heavy truck to come over, Qi Meng Haige couldn't help but complain repeatedly, and simply clipped the surgical instruments to his collar.

"What about the other ferocious beasts that were chasing you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"We've shaken them off," Chimman Hagrid waved his hand. "Only this bastard is impossible to shake off. Speaking of which, there's also that very fast, upright-walking tiger; that fellow is quite troublesome too!"

"Um!"

"There's another ferocious beast that I can't quite describe. Just looking at its appearance gives me a headache, and sometimes it makes me nauseous and tremble. Have any of you encountered it?"

Are you talking about the hairless tiger?

"Disgusting! Just thinking about what it looks like makes me nauseous. I don't even want to hear the name you gave it!"

Chimmon Hagrid cursed a couple of times, then looked around suspiciously.

He wanted to ask Zhang Xuezhou again, but Zhang Xuezhou had already been Ren Yisheng away by Ren Yisheng to treat Zhou Rihui by plucking spider hairs, and Cai Guoli seemed to have lost his limbs, so his situation looked extremely wrong. Therefore, he had no choice but to help clean up the mess of the eight-legged spider.

I'm starting to lose control!

Zhou Rihui had a row of spider hairs stuck to his body, and dozens of spider hairs like iron wires stuck to his hands.

Zhou Rihui's physical body is strong and he is not afraid of blunt force attacks. He can even withstand swords and blades, but he is most afraid of this kind of powerful penetration that is similar to a needle piercing his body.

These spider hairs not only pierced his body, but also caused the pierced areas to turn blue, black, and swell, clearly indicating the presence of residual venom. When he tried to pull them out, the spider hairs would pull and tear the wounds.

After forcibly pulling out dozens of thorns, Zhou Rihui's body was covered with patches of blue, black, and red thorns, and he didn't dare to pull any more out for a while.

Only after Zhang Xuezhou arrived did Zhou Rihui dare to pull it out with confidence.

Then Ren Yisheng recounted in a low voice that the eight-legged spider he encountered was completely different from the vulture beast, making it difficult for him to control, so he could only stay away from the eight-legged spider.

"I encountered that upright-walking ferocious tiger, which was also difficult to control; I only managed to maintain control for less than two seconds," Zhang Xuezhou said. "There was also a hairless tiger that was completely uncontrollable; we only had a brief mental clash!"

There's a serious problem with these ferocious beasts!

Ren Yisheng whispered.

Without seeing the true face of Mount Lu, one cannot gain true knowledge. They cannot understand the real situation based on Chimmonhaig's descriptions and Zuo Teng's paintings. Only by truly experiencing it can they make a genuine judgment.

Through Zhang Xuezhou's comparison, Ren Yisheng clearly understood that the eight-legged spider in front of him was indeed not unique.

The fact that both individuals' deterrent capabilities are significantly reduced or rendered ineffective places them in the Seventh Sequence or even Eighth Sequence.

"They likely originated from the capital of the Qinmeng Empire," Ren Yisheng speculated.

"Capital?"

"I've heard rumors that the core area of the Qinmeng Empire is teeming with ferocious beasts, and their abilities are even more formidable!"

"Possibly!"

"These ferocious beasts gathering over there must be something they're after, but I don't know why they've come here!"

Ren Yisheng a low voice, he couldn't help but reach out and lift the lucky bracelet on his wrist.

Ren Yisheng couldn't tell whether the lucky bracelet had worked, but he sensed a possible fortuitous opportunity, which might also be considered a form of luck.

"I used my treasure-hunting technique to explore that area, and it reacted," Zhang Xuezhou whispered. "But there's a large snake den there, and the entrance is crammed with venomous snakes—thousands of them right there. It's very difficult to squeeze in!"

"Let's investigate as much as possible; there might be more than just the Qin Meng Secret Stone hidden inside!"

You mean there are others?

Treasure hunting is based on Law Power. Any residual Law Power that clashes with or causes an imbalance of Law Power will trigger a reaction in treasure hunting.

It may involve excavating magical Law Artifact or Law Treasure, or it may involve heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing Spiritual Qi, but this technique does indeed contain many things that are difficult to detect.

Zhang Xuezhou had only considered the Qin Meng Secret Stone before, but after Ren Yisheng reminded him, he felt that there might be something else hidden in the snake cave, which would attract so many snakes to gather and so many ferocious beasts to linger in that area.

His expression changed slightly, but Zhang Xuezhou currently lacked the ability to excavate the snake den. He could only kill as many venomous snakes as possible within the area of deterrence and suppression, hoping to lure the snakes out and make the cave a little emptier.
