Chapter 225 Red Eyed Spider
The little fox was so agile and nimble that it didn't need a climbing rope at all and climbed up along the vines.
Following behind it was Chen Nan. Chen Nan also did not use a climbing rope. He stepped on the rattan ball, grabbed the rattan branches, and climbed up using his hands and feet.
Wang Yue and Wang Teng parked the mechanical vehicles they had just driven in the grass next to a big tree. The two mechanical vehicles were very sturdy, and they might need them again early tomorrow morning, so they did not plan to dismantle them for storage. Anyway, even if the vehicles were damaged, they could be repaired or reassembled into new ones.
Wang Teng was the last one to enter the tree hole. When he entered the tree hole, he looked up and saw a light curtain composed of thousands of fluorescent stones flowing above his head.
As soon as he stepped into the tree hole, he raised his head and looked above his head in surprise, "Isn't that fluorite? How could there be fluorite in the tree hole?"
Di Youlin, who was flying in the air and setting up fluorescent stones around, glanced down at him and said, "Of course we brought them. There are more piled on the ground over there. Hurry up and help put up the stones."
Wang Teng then realized that everyone was sticking to the stones. Even the vines that had just brought them up had split into countless branches, wrapping the stones and sticking them to the surrounding cave walls.
Compared to the speed of each person's two hands, most of the stones were attached by vines.
"Ms. Ning's plant pet is so powerful. It can help in fights, be used as a ladder, and can also help with work. It is really useful." Wang Teng said in admiration.
Those stone-clinging vines clinging to the cave walls seemed to understand Wang Teng's words. They intertwined into suspended grids and moved quickly and proudly along the cave walls like snakes.
"This is so magical. Who would have thought that there is such a large space inside this big tree? Miss Ning, the entrance to this tree hole is so narrow and so high. How did you find it?" Zhang Nan asked in an astonished tone.
"It is said that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. I was able to find this place thanks to Di Youlin for taking me flying in space for so long. Including the mushroom nest just now, we also discovered it during the flight. Tomorrow we will go look for the two medicinal fields. There are purple ginseng that is thousands of years old in those medicinal fields." Ning Xuan said to everyone.
"It's great that you can fly. Young Master Di's half-orc characteristics are so useful. Unlike me, I only have two ears and can't be of much help." Nine Tails said, lowering his head with a sense of inferiority.
"Young Master Di's strength is among the best in the entire Federation. Jiuwei, if you insist on competing with him, you are asking for trouble." Lan Xin said to Jiuwei in a low voice.
"Everyone has their own uses, Jiuwei, don't just look at the areas you are not good at and deny yourself. Think more about your strengths and then make good use of them." Ning Xuan said to Jiuwei with some displeasure.
"Nine Tails understands, thank you for the guidance, Master." Hearing the displeasure in Ning Xuan's tone, Nine Tails quickly stood up and replied respectfully.
Thirteen people, a little fox, and countless vines and branches soon covered the inside of the tree hole with fluorite. The tree hole was divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. Everyone chose their favorite area and decorated it. If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay in this stronghold for one to two months.
Explore the surrounding area with this base as the center.
The big tree that Ning Xuan chose is surrounded by rich resources, including virgin forests, mountain grasslands, and many kinds of exotic beasts.
Tang Xue and the others tacitly chose the middle and lower areas. The top floor was left for Ning Xuan and her contractors. Di Youlin and the little fox also stayed on the top floor.
Lan Xin, Jiuwei and Qinghe chose the outer area on the bottom floor. This area, to a certain extent, serves as an outer gateway. If there is any danger, this area will definitely be the first to feel it.
After a night of tidying up, this empty, huge tree hole has completely changed its appearance.
In the middle of the top area, a very large hall was reserved, and the tables and chairs they brought were placed in the hall.
The surrounding area was separated by curtains and various screens to form eight rooms of different sizes. The one at the innermost part was the largest and was a suite with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a bathtub in one room.
Even when she is away from home, Ning Xuan doesn't want to sleep outdoors every day. In her opinion, only by enjoying a safe sleeping environment can she ensure work efficiency the next day.
Therefore, for Ning Xuan, finding a safe place to stay is the most important thing.
However, although this tree hole is far away from the ground, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe. On the first night of living here, the little fox on the upper level, Di Youlin, Wang Teng and Min Wu on the middle level, and Qinghe and Lan Xin on the lower level, they kept a close eye on the movements inside and outside the cave, guarding against unknown risks.
The next morning, when Ning Xuan woke up, she saw three black snakes hanging outside the cave and a dozen fist-sized red-eyed spiders. These were all captured by Di Youlin and others.
"I remember placing a strong insect repellent in the cave. Is it not effective?" Ning Xuan asked in a daze.
The powerful anthelmintic she prepared is very effective against all kinds of poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc. It should not be useless.
"No, master, these poisonous insects were discovered around by Lan Xin using the Water Mirror Technique." Qinghe replied.
These poisonous insects really had no intention of crawling into the tree hole, but Lan Xin was familiar with Ning Xuan's preferences and felt that Ning Xuan should be interested in these things.
Ning Xuan was indeed very happy. Spiders of this size were rare. She could feel the energy fluctuations from the spiders, so these spiders were exotic beasts with special abilities.
Moreover, spiders are usually solitary species, but the sudden appearance of so many red-eyed spiders here indicates that these spiders may live in groups.
Spiders living in groups may weave webs and hunt together. Spiders this big and look so ferocious. If they weave a web together, how big would the web be? Once you are caught in the web, it would be difficult to escape.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Spiders are very predatory. These red-eyed spiders have average combat power individually. However, there is a high possibility of a spider nest nearby. When exploring the surrounding area, be careful not to get trapped in the spider webs, especially when you are in the woods. It is best not to act alone, and take a bamboo pole or something to explore the way first." Ning Xuan said.
"Master, why don't we find the spider's nest and clean them out, so as to avoid being so nervous and hesitant." Di Youlin said bluntly.
"I think what Mr. Di said makes sense. Since we are going to live here, we naturally have to eliminate unsafe factors in the surrounding environment." Tang Xue echoed.
