The fire was still burning, and this time Zhang Mu had carried almost all the gasoline from the entire gas station. Now that he had the Epoch Merchant Ring with an expanded internal space, Zhang Mu could loot whatever he could, so he looted it all.
Because the amount of gasoline was indeed sufficient, and the soil here had been corroded and riddled with holes, the gasoline in the oil tank he had thrown down had seeped into the ground for dozens of meters.
Those spiders that wanted to escape into the underground were asking for trouble instead. The flames burned infinitely upwards and downwards, spreading to every corner where gasoline was present. Moreover, those spiders covered in gasoline were forced to drill in, and once they did, it became a fuse that enabled them to run.
The faster they ran and the deeper they dug, the more criss-crossed the fire became, and the spiders were burned even more miserably.
"You said, it should be almost done now. How about going in and getting two?" The obsidian worm looked eagerly in the direction of the big pit, thinking about the barbecue feast inside. It felt that it should taste similar to the bear meat that Zhang Mu grilled for it in the yard after it completed its advancement last time.
Zhang Mu rolled his eyes at it, and looked at the fire that was rising into the sky and showed no sign of dying down. "If you want to eat it, go in by yourself, don't involve me. My butt is still sore, and I can't stand the fire at all. I'll wait."
Zhang Mu thought the obsidian worm would listen to him this time. But he never expected that the obsidian worm's greed had completely overcome its fear of fire.
It flapped its wings and rushed directly towards the sea of fire. Zhang Mu was stunned. It turned out that it had become so greedy.
For some reason, the outermost layer of the cocoon made of spider silk has not been burned through, so the heat energy is well preserved and has been kept burning.
Continues to burn.
However, those spiders were the best combustion medium and were completely unable to resist the scorching flames. However, due to their instinct for survival, they were still frantically drilling down into deeper layers of soil.
"They're really fighting so hard." Zhang Mu was speechless as he looked at the back of the obsidian bug, who had never thought that the obsidian bug had been bullied to this extent.
The obsidian worm was flying low over the ground. Although it was a wind-type mutant beast and would not be suppressed too much by the flames on the surface, the noise Zhang Mu made was extremely loud.
The obsidian worm hesitated for a moment outside the pit. It was so high-spirited just now, but now it had a new idea.
Because of the existence of the giant cocoon, there is too much heat energy retained inside, and the obsidian worms staying outside the cocoon feel their own instinctive rejection and resistance.
So, it cunningly began to fly around the pit. As expected, it found a few mutant spiders on the ground that had been roasted to a crisp.
The obsidian worm couldn't wait to pick one up, carefully put it into its mouth with its claws and began to chew it.
However, as he chewed, the obsidian worm's originally extremely expectant mood began to become complicated.
But it flew back expressionlessly, with several mutant spiders pierced through its claws.
Seeing the obsidian worm quickly turn back, Zhang Mu immediately had a bad feeling.
When he saw the mutant spider on the claws of the obsidian worm, he thought that the obsidian worm was going to mess with him. He pretended not to notice and said in his heart, "What's going on? You came back so soon. I thought you were going to have a big meal. Are you scared and don't dare to go in and take a look? There are tens of thousands of spiders in here that you have been thinking about.
Mutated spider, why don't you go and have a feast? "
The obsidian worm said calmly, "Yes, I feel that my carapace can't withstand this high temperature, so let's wait until it cools down completely. Look, I brought two back for you to try. I can't eat them all by myself, so I have to share them with you, don't you think?"
At this time, Zhang Mu felt something was wrong. It was possible that the obsidian bugs were afraid of fire. But if it was such a delicacy, the obsidian bugs would not bring it to him even if they were full.
Zhang Mu knew the nature of the obsidian worm too well.
Now it must be full of bad intentions and ready to cause trouble.
But it really underestimated Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu had eaten everything in his later life. Tree roots and bark, when he was the poorest, these things, along with some wild vegetables, were all delicious.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Mu has eaten almost everything the refugees eat, except for the Guanyin soil that can fill your stomach but can kill you.
As a minor epoch merchant, he was ranked fifth. Without opportunities and his own evolutionary abilities, he was no different from an ordinary person. Every time he completed an epoch merchant mission, he would become slightly richer.
Zhang Mu silently took the charred mutant spider handed to him by the Obsidian Claw. Under the playful gaze of the Obsidian, he plucked off a spider leg, stuffed it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
After removing the outermost layer of carbon black from the mutant spider's flesh, the pink flesh inside was revealed. But when Zhang Mu took a bite of it, he finally understood why the obsidian worm was so kind.
The flesh of the spider's leg was surprisingly as hard as tree bark, but Zhang Mu stuffed it in without changing his expression, leaving the obsidian worm dumbfounded.
