Spot Check
"Seven Spiders?"
"What is the Seven Spiders? Is that name really that intimidating?"
The tiger's roar and spiritual voice were short, but Zhang Xuezhou still managed to hear parts of them clearly.
He watched the fleeting blue light disappear from his sight, feeling that Hu Yu had left too quickly.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't know whether to praise Hu Yu for his righteousness in Jieyin away the powerful enemy when faced with danger, or to criticize Hu Yu for not caring about his own men and running away first.
Hearing the golden lion roar repeatedly, and its voice growing increasingly muffled, Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that the golden lion had hidden in the snake pit while fleeing for its life.
This left Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng looking at each other in bewilderment for a moment.
Do you know Seven Spiders?
Since it was no longer possible to force our way into the snake pit, Zhang Xuezhou didn't feel too much regret about the items he hadn't managed to move.
He, Ren Yisheng, and Xu Lu carefully moved the Qin Meng Secret Stone to the back of the heavy truck, then covered it with another layer of yellow mud and stone chips. Only after adding another layer of outer shell did Zhang Xuezhou ask Xu Lu, who had transformed into a human form, for a question.
"I have never encountered the Seven Spiders, nor have I ever heard of them," Xu Fu shook his head after thinking for a moment. "The higher-dimensional worlds are extremely vast, and my knowledge is far from sufficient. I have never heard of all living beings there. Perhaps they originated from some hidden ancient races, or perhaps they originated from other lower-dimensional worlds!"
Xu Lu also felt that Hu Yu was somewhat panicked, as if he had overreacted.
But Xu Lu had never heard of any Seven Spiders.
The vast, high-dimensional world is teeming with all sorts of creatures.
When the reputation of some masters reaches your ears, it is not surprising that the other party has been dead for a hundred or two hundred years.
Consequently, many new experts will emerge whom we have never heard of, and only major races and powerful Aristocratic Clan have access to such information.
This also includes some experts from other lower-dimensional worlds invading this world, after all, the name Seven Spiders doesn't sound particularly formal.
Xu Lu gave a brief explanation, and Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
As long as he could safely escape this area, he didn't care about Tiger Breeding or Seven Spiders.
Putting everything else aside, Zhang Xuezhou only hoped to consume this batch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in a normal way.
This involves the Serpent Cave Medicine that stimulates the body to absorb blood serum, the Fire Crystal Stone that constructs the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the Qin Meng Secret Stone that has a high probability of helping Ren Anran step into the Divine Ability Realm. The effects of the Fire Seed and the Void Furnace are also quite subtle.
This achievement far exceeded Zhang Xuezhou and his team's initial plans for coming to Qinmeng.
This not only benefits Zhang Xuezhou, but also brings a leap in strength to many people. Even Ren Yisheng was driving a heavy truck, couldn't hide his excitement despite his cautious expression.
If it weren't for the fact that it would take another twenty hours to leave the Qinmeng area and the long journey back to the Scarlet Alliance State, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng would have at least given each other a high five.
However, even after Montesbatton 'Badun overturned at a near-shore port, Zhang Xuezhou and his team remained vigilant.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures they had acquired were not locked in sealed boxes, but rather in layers of yellow mud and stone shells.
By using the reverse fossilization technique, Zhang Xuezhou continuously sealed off any potential riots of ordinary creatures in Qinmeng that might be triggered by leaked Spiritual Qi.
Many things can be learned from experience, and Zhang Xuezhou was clearly unwilling to repeat the same mistakes.
For a moment, everyone acted in their own way. Zhang Xuezhou touched the mud to solidify and seal the various items, Ren Yisheng drove the car, and Xu Lu looked back and forth at the various items in the heavy truck bed, and occasionally touched the rather large quantity of rebar.
These rebar bars were tools used by Badun to manipulate metal. Although there were thousands of them, they had no impact on the load capacity of the heavy trucks or their speed. Zhang Xuezhou and the others were too lazy to clean them up one by one.
Xu Lu held the rebar, gesturing back and forth between it and comparing it to the heavy trucks powered by electricity.
These items were relatively unfamiliar to him, but such mechanized products did exist in higher-dimensional worlds; the Void Furnace had seen many machines with large carrying capacities.
No vehicle is more vulnerable than this heavy truck. Although the heavy truck is equipped with protective measures such as electric grids, Xu Lu felt that it made little difference whether it was there or not.
"It's far inferior to those tanks!"
Xu Lu muttered a few words, feeling that this kind of vehicle was too fragile, its speed was far from sufficient, and its ability to traverse mountains and rivers was also inadequate.
However, even if he were to ask the Void Furnace to create a better product, he wouldn't be able to. After all, seeing something before is one thing, but being able to make it himself is another.
"That's strange!"
From this glimpse, one can see the whole picture. Xu Lu felt that the country where Zhang Xuezhou and others lived had only average technological development, and the technology they possessed was within the realm of understanding. However, Xu Lu could not comprehend the abilities that Zhang Xuezhou possessed.
He had no expectations for the standard of living in the Scarlet Alliance State, but Xu Lu was eager to follow Zhang Xuezhou and others to advance Gene Sequence.
He didn't ask for much from the Void Furnace. He would consider it a good thing if he could have the strength of Zhou Xin, Zhang Xuezhou, and others without having to borrow any treasures. He could even accept the level of Ren Yisheng, who was driving.
Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Who?"
Only when Zhang Xuezhou gave a very solemn shout did the Void Furnace become solemn.
With a slight sway, the not-so-sturdy roof of the heavy truck sliced open as if cutting through soft mud, revealing the head of a lion covered in golden mane.
Xu Lu blinked and saw Zhang Xuezhou beside him point a trembling hand to the roof of the car before falling backward.
"Such a useless human being, actually fainted from fright?"
The sounds of grumbling and disdain echoed through the carriage. The lion's head glanced down for a moment, then looked back down.
The faint sound of footsteps on the heavy truck vanished in an instant, leaving only the hole above letting in cold air.
Xu Lu stood up and was about to peek into the cave entrance when Zhang Xuezhou grabbed his hand.
Inside the driver's seat, Ren Yisheng continued driving at the same speed, as if he hadn't seen anything, as if nothing had happened, and even ignored the red warning lights flashing on the dashboard.
With a deafening roar, white cracks appeared on the windshield, and the heavy truck creaked and groaned as if it were falling apart before veering and crashing erratically.
After running chaotically for more than 300 meters, the heavy truck crashed headfirst into a huge rock protruding from the roadside, leaving only its tires spinning on the ground.
Ren Yisheng was holding the steering wheel, slumped down without a word.
Xu Lu opened his mouth, but when Zhang Xuezhou reached out and pulled him down forcefully, he could only lower his head.
"What a useless human being! Look at all this!"
"A pile of stones, a pile of scrap metal sticks—that can't be them!"
The scrutinizing gaze swept over his body, and the powerful intensity of the gaze made Xu Lu tremble involuntarily.
"There are still three useless people!"
"The humans in this world are too useless; no country has ever produced a true master!"
"If these backward regions had truly skilled experts, those kingdoms wouldn't have been occupied by explorers."
"Recently, a human character who's really good at taking a beating has appeared. I heard he's constantly being encouraged to go into secret areas and stir up trouble!"
"What's the use of just taking a beating? Even if we point out the location of the Seven Spiders to him, he can't cause them any trouble..."
As if after a test, the sounds of Tiger Yu and the Golden Lion gradually faded into the distance.
Clearly, the golden lion underwent initial testing, and only after confirming there were no unexpected risks did the tiger undergo a second, more thorough examination.
Xu Lu's heart pounded. They had clearly met and collided, yet he had never imagined that Hu Yu would have so easily overlooked them.
Even though Hu Yu personally came to inspect the area, the other party didn't notice the embers hidden in the mud and rocks right under their noses.
