Chapter 75 Let You See My Unique Skills

"Chu Hengkong, you have to know when to stop showing off." Fan De squinted his eyes and said, "There are 18 tasks in total. How many can you complete in one day?"

Chu Hengkong had just left Yingshi Town and stepped onto the western plains. The plains were still quiet during the day, and there was no trace of the steel giant.

Qi Su said that the giant only moved at night, but Fander didn't quite believe it. He was still uneasy, always feeling that the thing would appear from nowhere and smash him into a meat pie with one punch.

Chu Hengkong looked around for a while, then squatted down after confirming that no one was around. He pulled a dark metal box from his pocket. Fander curiously leaned over to take a look and saw the words "Multi-functional Auxiliary Magic Spider Puppet V658 Version" written on the box.

Chu Hengkong opened the box and scattered a handful of small, steel-like objects. After landing, the small steel balls automatically absorbed the surrounding soil and formed six auxiliary legs and a small head, resembling a metal spider.

"12 mushrooms, 8 boulders, 7 blades of grass over 2 meters tall..."

Chu Hengkong took out the commission and explained it one by one. The magic spider puppets came forward and listened attentively. They quickly dispersed, rushing across the grassland in search of their target. Fander, who was watching, was stunned.

"It's so convenient. What kind of mechanical technique is this?"

"The Magic Scholar's signature product comes from an island called Dustless Land." Chu Hengkong took out the matching control crystal screen from the box and carefully adjusted it. "It's very convenient for finding directions and things. I often use it at work."

"Magic movement skills... I seem to have some impression of them." Fander muttered, "I guess it's related to some sensitive technology, and I sealed it away on my own initiative."

"Seal?" Chu Hengkong raised his eyebrows.

"I've read many, many books before, but I sealed away a considerable portion of the knowledge because it was too dangerous. Otherwise, my fate would be tainted and I'd have nowhere to cry..." Finder wanted to cry, but he couldn't. "But now that I'm with a disaster like you, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not..."

Chu Hengkong listened to its muttering while observing the screen. Initially, the crystal screen was empty, but soon, as the demonic spider puppets moved, layers of "terrain" appeared, creating a simple map.

Chu Hengkong took a few glances, and with a rough idea in mind, he ran to a large tree and kicked the trunk in half. He wrapped his tentacles around the trunk, and with one hand, like a knife, he chopped the trunk into a plank. He then pulled another small black box from his pocket and placed it on the wood. Two pairs of tires sprouted from the sides of the plank, forming a skateboard.

Chu Hengkong scooted forward on his skateboard, rushing towards the north of the grassland. Fander had already jumped into his pocket and exclaimed in admiration: "Is the magic scholar's stuff so convenient? Are there any other ones? Let me borrow it to study."

"There are many at the headquarters, and I only brought two." Chu Hengkong said with regret, "If you had summoned them later, this wouldn't have happened."

"It's been a day, can we not mention the summoning?" Vander said dejectedly.

"Then tell me something useful. What did you learn last night?"

"This place is weird." Fander said firmly, "Do you understand what the Kingdom of God is?"

"don't know."

"The pinnacle of the totemic belief system, the final form of the Ancient Dragon City, the promised land ruled by Sephiroth 7's ancient dragon, 'God Lord.' Sephiroth 7's superpowers have become part of the Shendong Realm. If you observe the night sky, you will definitely see the stars they represent." Vander said, "But I stared for a long time last night and couldn't find the star of 'God Lord of the Netherworld,' Yinglong. Do you think this makes sense?"

"It's unreasonable." Chu Hengkong said, "It's just as unreasonable as asking the people of God's Country to bother me to kill strange beasts."

The power of the Sephiroth 7 Ancient Dragon should be far beyond their imagination. No one thinks it is unlikely that such a dragon would allow a corner of its kingdom to become a barren mountain.

There might be a problem in the Netherworld Divine Kingdom. I just hope that the problem is not so big that even an intruder like him can't survive.

The grassland was vast but deserted. Unmolested by any beasts, the path was peaceful. Fander, tucked away in his pocket, hummed a dull song out of boredom. Chu Hengkong occasionally extended his tentacles, picking up mushrooms and pebbles along the way, but his harvest was meager. This route wasn't close to the collection points marked by the townspeople; after all, his primary target was the spider.

About an hour after leaving town, Chu Hengkong finally caught a glimpse of movement, a rustling sound like a knife blade scraping across gravel. Not far ahead lay a swamp, and within it, a strange figure loomed. He jumped off his skateboard, lurking in the tall grass, and gazed intently at the swamp.

"...This spider is really a spider." Chu Hengkong said.

Vander expressed a quiet despair: "There must be something wrong with my common sense or the common sense of the people of God's Kingdom."

That thing was indeed a spider, from every angle. It had a two-segmented body, four pairs of legs and chelicerae, and a round head with eight compound eyes. Structurally, it was hard to find a more standard spider. However, it stood about eight meters tall, its body covered in a layer of steel armor at least half a palm thick. Each leg had four nozzles for high maneuverability, and its head had three muzzles on each side. Its eight compound eyes flashed lasers.

Weng. Weng.

The giant spider emitted a strange electromagnetic sound as it walked. It emitted scanning lasers from its eyes, circling and scanning its surroundings. Chu Hengkong began to circle the spider to avoid the sweeping lasers. He sighed heartily, "The evolution of life is truly remarkable..."

"What the hell is evolution?! How can I evolve from a spider to a 'spider-type'?!" Vander was devastated.

"That's what people often say, the wisdom of using tools evolved in the face of hardship."

"Forget about using tools! This has become a tool! This is the Mobile Battle Beast Spider! Come on, that thing is looking over here, its eyes are glowing!"

The mechanical spider had already locked onto the two men, its compound eyes flashing rapidly. The next moment, eight high-heat lasers pierced the air, shooting directly at the two men trapped in the tall grass!

Without a word, Chu Hengkong spun around on his skateboard, putting some distance between them. The mechanical spider followed closely behind him, its immense power creating a cloud of dust and smoke behind it. Its six mechanical legs sprinted with the momentum of a mighty army. Meanwhile, its compound eye lasers continued to fire continuously. The destructive power of this thing was astonishing, and the tall grass that was touched was reduced to ash before it even had a chance to burn.

Chu Hengkong maneuvered his skateboard, swerving and maneuvering, dodging the lasers as if he had eyes on his back. Seeing the enemy's agility, the mechanical spider changed its fighting style, extinguishing the lasers in its eyes and simultaneously opening four rows of firing ports on its body. In a flash, sixteen missiles were unleashed, following the skateboard's lead!

Chu Hengkong turned quickly, maneuvering his skateboard backwards. He pulled out his rock knife with one hand and swung it lightly. The blade seemed to have an inexplicable elasticity, and the missile was deflected upon contact, crashing into the spider itself.

Missiles exploded one after another, and the mechanical spider was enveloped in smoke and dust. Seeing this, Vander was overjoyed: "What a great opportunity, now is the time to use the same trick I used to kill the centipede!"

Chu Hengkong put away his knife and sighed sadly: "Alas... I don't know why I don't have the motivation to fight today. I don't want to fight..."

"You're telling me this now?!"

"At times like these, my partner will proactively take over and chop the enemy into pieces before I can even speak."

"Your partner's initiative is frighteningly high. Are you a killer duo?"

Chu Hengkong didn't fight back, dodging the missile with the difficult movements of an acrobat, and took out Vander from his pocket. Vander sat on his palm, his eyes numb and dull.

"What do you want to do, little bastard?"

Chu Hengkong raised his right hand high, facing the bright sunlight. "So today, you will be in charge of the battle. Go ahead, Fander!"

"You're absolutely determined to harm me! Could you please respect the enemy? They've stopped firing missiles! They look really angry!"

The mechanical spider's missiles stopped silently, and its body trembled slightly, as if it was trembling with anger at the two idiots in front of it... At this moment, a new launch port suddenly opened on the back of the mechanical spider, and hundreds of small spiders shrunken in proportion jumped out of it, leaping forward with the agility of fleas, spraying spider silk to attack!

Chu Hengkong shook his head repeatedly, swung his whip in the air, and used the air wave to shake the spider silk apart: "The spider has started to spit at you."

"If I didn't have a mouth, I'd spit at you right now!" Fander was furious. "To put it bluntly, you just want to see what I can do, right? Sure! Run around the spider and whip the ground with your tentacles until I yell, 'Stop!'"

Chu Hengkong did as he was told, happily swiping up dirt with his tentacles as he ran. The slime remained on the ground, forming several small silver dots. After six consecutive swishing blows, Fander jumped up and pointed his long tentacle at the spider like a gun: "Fire!"

At that command, the remaining slime on the ground sprang up, transforming into six transparent ropes that bound the mecha spider in the center. The slime's incredible stickiness not only bound the spider itself, but also the smaller spiders. The mecha spider struggled mightily, unable to break free, like a small insect caught in a spider web.

Finder put his tentacles on his hips and laughed heartily: "See? This is my unique skill, the slime trap."

"That's quite creative." Chu Hengkong nodded, "But what if it's violently dismantled?"

The mechanical spider's eyes flickered, and it was about to fire another laser to blast the slime away. But Vander was no longer panicking. He leaped from Chu Heng's empty hands and flicked the slime web with his tentacles, his voice vague and hazy.

"Don't move," it said.

The mechanical spider stopped moving immediately, frozen in place like a stone, completely giving up resistance and showing no signs of life. Finder turned around, his eyes gleaming with the light of dusk.

"And this is the true secret weapon that makes me unrivaled in the world—"

It said proudly and triumphantly, "Hypnosis!"
