Chapter 339 Empty Nest



"I plan to send my pet down to scout out the situation first."

When they heard this, no one had yet realized what Gu Xinghe meant.

But at that moment, they saw Gu Xinghe pat his left shoulder with his right hand.

Then, a spider that was entirely red with some white patterns on its body crawled out from the layers of scarf around Gu Xinghe's neck.

Unlike ordinary people who would likely feel scared and panicked if they suddenly saw a spider in their daily lives, this is different.

When the people present first saw the red spider, none of them were startled by its sudden appearance.

Because compared to some spiders that can even cause discomfort, spiders covered in fine hairs.

The red spider, with its "texture" like a piece of jade, gives the impression of being a fine work of art.

But after admiring the red spider for a while as if it were a work of art, the people present finally realized—

So what they thought was just a scarf Gu Xinghe used to keep warm was actually a spider's nest?

Hearing the thoughts of everyone present, Gu Xinghe actually found them quite reasonable—

The scarf he was wearing around his neck was woven by a red spider.

Looking at it this way, isn't the red spider nestled in the scarf actually staying in the nest it built?

But after sensing the shock of everyone present, Gu Xinghe continued to explain.

"This is a domesticated pet spider that can understand some of my simple commands."

Considering that the red spider is already conspicuous enough in appearance.

So Gu Xinghe felt that he should "slightly" weaken its abilities.

[All commands!]

Red Spider... can understand all commands!

However, after hearing Gu Xinghe's introduction, the red spider mentally protested against Gu Xinghe.

After calming the somewhat aggrieved red spider in his mind, Gu Xinghe put it down from his shoulder onto the ground.

"Dig, dig down."

While everyone present was still pondering whether the spider had the ability to dig underground.

They had already seen Red Spider quickly carry out Gu Xinghe's orders.

The red spider, placed on the snow, did not linger after landing.

It began using its several segments to scoop up the snow and soil on the ground.

Then it quickly disappeared from everyone's sight and began digging towards the [Blank Area] beneath the coffin buried in the soil.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe waited for Red Spider to send back a message.

While listening to the situation in the live broadcast room, and the shocked feelings of everyone present about the existence of the Red Spider.

Go for it, Spider-Man! You're the one!

Poor little spider, it does all the dirty and hard work!

[That scumbag master, Brother Gu]

[That's right, it's absolutely despicable! Little Spider, get going and overthrow Gu Xinghe's absolute rule!]

Although Gu Xinghe felt that Red Spider wouldn't care about his absolute rule at all.

On the other hand, perhaps because Semi is still a child, he has a very short memory.

When he first arrived at the cemetery, he sensed a slightly eerie atmosphere, which in turn brought him fear.

After seeing Gu Xinghe take out a pet like the Red Spider, they all disappeared without a trace.

The moment Semi saw the red spider, his eyes lit up.

Compared to ordinary pets like cats and dogs, keeping spiders as pets is obviously much cooler.

Moreover, this fact aligns quite well with Semi's own romanticized view of the thrilling and exciting profession of bounty hunter.

However, upon thinking about this, Semi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and remorse.

He had spent the entire day yesterday in the same space as Gu Xinghe.

But he didn't even notice the spider pet on Gu Xinghe's body.

Otherwise, he would have seen this cool pet yesterday.

Underground, once the red spider has penetrated to a certain depth in the soil, it can remain undetected by others.

Red Spider released dozens of its own spider clones, which simultaneously explored the entire underground area.

Like remotely controlled spider robots.

At this moment, dozens of red spiders were heading towards their respective targets in different directions.

A moment later, the crowd, who had been waiting in place for a long time, saw the red spider emerge from the tunnel it had dug.

Then he quickly crawled out of the small hole in the ground, seemingly having completed his exploration of the underground space.

When the red spider finally emerged from the ground, everyone saw that it was still as clean as when it first appeared.

It wasn't stained with any dirt, nor did it have the disheveled look one would expect after digging.

At this moment, everyone saw the red spider return to the ground and begin waving its legs.

They seemed to be speaking some kind of "spider language" that they didn't understand.

Everyone present then looked at Gu Xinghe, waiting for his "translation".

Even before Red Spider's deliberate "dance performance" in front of everyone, Gu Xinghe already knew the answer to this investigation—

"The underground nest is empty."

Gu Xinghe addressed everyone present in a peculiar tone.

In that underground space, it was a blank area not only in terms of mental perception.

Even when Gu Xinghe sent Red Spider to conduct an actual investigation, the entire nest was still empty.

However, the dense network of nest passages in this space was clearly formed later.

Ghouls, or some other creature or group, disappeared after digging out such a complex network of underground tunnels.

Moreover, through Red Spider's investigation, Gu Xinghe knew the countless entrances or exits corresponding to this underground tunnel network.

Right beneath every coffin in this cemetery where they are now.

In other words, when the time is right.

The bodies stored in each coffin in this cemetery may become like "packaged nutrient solutions".

It is transported through these underground passages to a certain being.

Perhaps this is why the body in the coffin disappeared?

But where have all the ghouls gone from this now-empty lair beneath the cemetery?

Or, to put it more rigorously, where did all the other creatures or groups that might have existed inside go?

Now, although the Red Spider seems to have left the underground and returned to the surface.

But it is still controlling its clones to explore underground along these passages.

They searched for another entrance besides the cemetery, trying to find the answers to these questions.
