Nine Heads

The mutated seed plants in Huli Port are still thriving, their lush foliage blocking the lanes that have been formed by decades of trampling.

The journey north from Huli Port is long. If one does not intend to stay in Qinmeng for an extended period, coordination from the Aomeijia Alliance is required before a quick route to the Spider God Cave can be reached. The return journey, however, is another troublesome matter.

Airbus can only use parachutes for landing when flying over uninhabited areas.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Huang both failed their first skydive and fell into the water, a situation similar to the near-fatal accident involving Xu Lu during his skydive.

"Guys, the airdrop means we have no way out. If we can't resolve this once and for all, our chances of survival are very slim!"

Badun did not approach the Spider God's Cave by airdrop. This method would have been faster, but it would have meant relying solely on foot to escape, resulting in a very low survival rate when pursued by ferocious beasts.

Zhang Xuezhou explained to Zhang Hao in detail the preparation and landing procedures for the parachute, which involved issues such as wind direction, as each parachute jump presents different challenges.

He ultimately decided that he could attach several spare parachutes to Zhang Hao and the others. If they lost their balance, they could abandon the original parachute, adjust their position using their bodies, and then open the parachute again. After a few tries, they would surely become proficient.

"Professor Zhang?"

After Zhang Xuezhou resolved the issues with Zhang Hao and the others, Badun had no choice but to call out to Zhang Xuezhou.

He now regretted entrusting the hunting of the ferocious beasts entirely to the Scarlet Alliance State. These people were too focused on speed. It was one thing to kill the beasts quickly, but they also prioritized speed when heading to the Spider God's Cave. They hadn't even considered that the Airbus couldn't carry everyone away.

"I'd like to ask how we leave after this operation?" Badun asked.

I think we should leave on foot!

Zhang Xuezhou thought for a moment, then looked at the coordinates of the Spider God's Cave.

He didn't choose the convenient method because of the tightness of his time travel; the more important reason was that the strange fusion of the spider legs made Zhang Xuezhou somewhat uneasy, and there were also the fluorescent spots on Zhou Rihui's arm.

These fluorescent spots are not toxins, and they do not spread due to squeezing. Washing with seawater has no effect, and they are difficult to remove by cutting the skin or flesh.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the fluorescent spots had characteristics of Incantation Technique, which was very likely the reason why the ferocious spider kept chasing Badun.

If you look closely at Badun, you'll see that his body is covered in these fluorescent spots, including Montespatton's body.

For a ferocious beast, this might be like the brightest star in the night sky, allowing it to accurately track and locate the target.

If these fluorescent spots were only used for tracking, that would be fine, but Zhang Xuezhou was also somewhat worried that other components might be mixed in.

The faster the problem is solved, the better. Zhang Xuezhou felt that it wouldn't be a good thing if these fluorescent spots covered Zhou Rihui's entire body.

For every minute the speed increases, the fluorescent spots on Zhou Rihui's body will spread less.

He couldn't help but inquire about Zhang Hao, since Daojun originated from Western Kunlun, and the Kunlun Heavenly Court also had expertise in Incantation Technique.

"Kill those four ferocious beasts first, then see what the situation is!"

Zhang Hao responded in a low voice.

The cultivators of Western Kunlun always dealt with problems in a simple and brutal way, but this was also the most effective way to deal with Incantation Technique.

Few people could discern the physical condition of Zhou Rihui, Badun, and others, and almost no one could accurately assess the abilities of different systems.

"Two legs can't carry you very far in a day. Even a good-for-nothing like Zhou Xin can run endlessly after a good meal and drink, but can all of you keep running? And what about this Grean!"

Badun pointed to Grian, who was flipping through the filming records not far away, and felt that Zhang Xuezhou and the others were too confident and had not considered a way out at all.

"I heard you set up some underground bases in Qinmeng. Taking out some vehicles shouldn't be a problem," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Look at this location. This is my closest base to the Spider God's Cave. The straight-line distance between the two is over 1,100 kilometers, and with the winding mountain roads, it's probably over 2,000 kilometers," Badun said, pointing at the map and shaking his head. "Even if we run 180 kilometers a day in the mountains, it will still take ten days to half a month. Along the way, there are also the troubles of spider swarms and supplies. If we don't move well and get chased by ferocious beasts, it's a death trap!"

"It's not that serious!"

A team comprised entirely of Seventh Sequence individuals is virtually unparalleled in its strength.

No one wears a ' Seventh Sequence ' label on their head, but that's the standard for everyone who comes from the Scarlet Alliance State.

Moreover, the group has sufficient supplies, so surviving in Qinmeng for a period of time is not a problem. If they can hunt wild animals to supplement their food, they can last even longer.

"There's another Fire Meteor being in this area. He seems interested in the Spider God's Cave. You need to be careful to guard against the risks he might pose when you're leading the team!"

Badun somewhat regretted letting the Scarlet Alliance State negotiate internally. After Zhou Xin understood the situation of the team commander, he cooperated without seizing power, abusing his seniority, or showing any signs of non-cooperation.

He spent a long time learning from Zhou Rihui and Zhou Yueyan, filling in almost all the details of what had happened to him since he left Western Capital City, before finally integrating into the team.

"What are the characteristics and abilities of this fire meteor creature?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"I followed the leader of a ferocious beast with wings and a tiger. He once revealed that there was a beast with nine heads there," Zhou Xin said. "That beast needs to be killed nine times in a short period of time to die. If you miss even one kill, it will regenerate. He also said that it can only be killed in one blow at a special moment, but I don't understand what that special moment is!"

Nine heads? Reborn?

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.

He had heard Hu Yu reveal information about the fire meteor beings that had entered Qin Meng, including one called 'Nine-Headed'.

The name Hu Yu used was not formal; it was more like a nickname. Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect the nickname to be so fitting—Nine Heads really did have nine heads.

This fire meteor creature called Nine-Headed has rather strange abilities, but Zhang Xuezhou had witnessed the Gaozu Emperor being killed forty-eight times in a row, so he wasn't surprised by it.

The other party's ability involves regeneration, which overlaps to some extent with that of the ferocious spider beast. It's normal for them to be interested in the Spider God's Cave.

Perhaps out of fear of these ferocious spider beasts, or out of dread of the Spider God Liao Meng, or perhaps waiting for an opportunity, Jiu Tou did not participate in the direct conflict, and was currently more of an observer.

"The fact that he can repeatedly come back to life and still doesn't dare to provoke these ferocious spider beasts suggests he's just troublesome, but his actual strength is probably average!"

The Nine-Headed Serpent is undoubtedly an entity that needs to be guarded against.

Zhou Xin's message came at a very opportune time, and everyone took it seriously.

After a brief analysis, Zhang Hao characterized the nine heads.

"But if he sees an opportunity, he'll definitely risk his life to take advantage of it, since he has the advantage to do so!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao added that he had mentioned the potential trouble the other party might cause.
