The female spider demon has a smooth female upper body and a huge purple spider lower body.
It looks like a piece of cobbled-together material, and it appears quite strange.
It is usually of the Fierce Monster level, without any trickery skills, but its eight spider legs are incredibly strong and extremely sharp, capable of easily piercing through security steel doors.
That's why it was able to break down the door.
Xia Tianqiong wasn't interested in this strange thing. He directly used the "Soul-Seizing White Silk" to put it around the neck, forcibly dragged it out of the window, and then put it into the mirror space.
The whole process took less than ten seconds.
When he landed, the fleeing survivors hadn't gone far and stared at him in astonishment.
"So the dangerous monster was just dealt with like that?"
"Is he a human or a ghost?"
At this point, not only the survivors, but also many police officers had the same question.
Xia Tianqiong ignored them and walked to Jiang Yu's side. "Let's go to the next place."
"Wait...wait a minute."
The police captain called out cautiously, "Are you sent by the Bureau of Ghost Stories?"
Among official departments, the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs is often referred to simply as the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs.
"no."
Xia Tianqiong didn't stop and continued walking outside.
The police captain took two steps to catch up and then asked, "So you're a civilian ghost hunter?"
I guess so!
"Could you please help us deal with these strange incidents? The Bureau of Strange Affairs is short-staffed and there are many strange incidents that we can't handle in time."
Xia Tianqiong originally intended to leave directly, but upon hearing this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Tonight's plan was to hunt for the supernatural, but searching around aimlessly on my own is definitely not as fast as the official search.
Wherever something strange happens, the authorities will definitely be the first to know.
After a moment's thought, he agreed, "I can help you, but I'm only responsible for dealing with the strange occurrences, not for saving people."
The police captain was overjoyed. "Great! You only need to deal with the strange creature; you don't need to do anything else."
"Let me make it clear beforehand that I can't guarantee I can solve it. If it's too dangerous, I'll be the first to run. And this is only for tonight."
"Okay, no problem."
"Write down my phone number. If you notice anything strange, just text or call me and I'll head over."
Xia Tianqiong gave out his phone number and then left with Jiang Yu.
I had barely stepped out of the residential area when the phone rang.
“Mr. Xia, as the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to make one. We can let it go if you kill my nephew Liu Zhongjun, but the Fenggui Chessboard must be returned to us.”
Xia Tianqiong thought it was the police calling, but it turned out to be Liu Qian on the other end of the line.
Liu Qian's voice was low and slow, as if he was suppressing his emotions, "As long as you return the Fenggui Chessboard to my Liu family, we will give you five million ghost money, how about it?"
Xia Tianqiong scoffed, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
“I know you’re not short of money, but five million is still a lot of money. The Sealed Ghost Chessboard is just an ordinary ghost artifact, and its value is far less than that much. Returning it to us is a way of making money.”
"If it weren't worth five million, would your Liu family be willing to buy it back? Do you think I'm stupid!"
“This is an old item that has been passed down in my Liu family for thousands of years. Its commemorative significance far outweighs its practical use. I would be grateful if Mr. Xia would grant my request.”
"You're kidding me. I'd never believe you. Once it's in my hands, it's mine. Don't even think about taking it back."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone immediately erupted in chaos.
"Xia Tianqiong, my Liu family has a thousand-year history. Are you trying to oppose us? Don't think you're so great just because you've made a contract with an evil spirit. My Liu family even has powerful evil spirits. Do you want to see them for yourself?"
This is a blatant threat.
"Sure, see you when you're free!"
"you……"
Before the other person could finish speaking, Xia Tianqiong hung up the phone, too lazy to waste words with him.
He knew that the Liu family possessed a powerful and mysterious ability, as almost every ancient family did; otherwise, they would have been wiped out by the authorities long ago under various pretexts.
Although the Fierce and Deceptive Technique is powerful, it cannot be used lightly because the cost is too high.
Liu Qian's phone call made Xia Tianqiong take the mysterious artifact, the Sealed Chessboard, seriously.
Ordinary ghost artifacts are worth only tens or hundreds of thousands of ghost money, and rarely more than a million.
He actually asked for five million, so the real value must be much higher.
Xia Tianqiong took out the Fenggui Chessboard and examined it carefully in his hand.
It is covered with many lines, and if you zoom in, it looks a lot like a Go board.
With his other hand, he took out a gold ingot, and with a thought, channeled the power of the netherworld into it.
All ghostly artifacts or objects require lifespan or ghost money to use; otherwise, they cannot be activated.
Moreover, there is a "recognition of owner" process when using it for the first time.
It's about binding consciousness.
Once you use it, no one else can use it either, unless they kill you or you give them permission to use it.
With the input of Netherworld power, a wisp of Xia Tianqiong's consciousness was drawn into the chessboard space.
This time when I came here again, I instantly perceived the entire chessboard space, like a holographic 3D map that appeared directly in my mind.
At first glance, it was quite surprising.
There are more than two hundred square areas here, each of which is vast, and the terrain of adjacent areas is completely different.
There are about a dozen different landforms, including forests, deserts, lakes, snowfields, and caves.
What truly surprised Xia Tianqiong was the more than thirty areas located at the center, each of which sealed this strange entity.
The strange location of the seal is precisely at the center of each square area.
There seems to be some significance to this.
