“The little guy is right.” Zhu Rong’s voice rang out again, acknowledging the Nightmare Beast’s statement.
"You can see me?!" The Nightmare Beast instantly bristled. It seemed that the other party knew of its existence and even knew what it had said to Li Yu.
For it, communicating with the energy entity in front of it was as terrifying as picking up a random stone to speak in place of a cell phone, but the person on the other end actually heard it.
“Li Yu, this is just one of my abilities. Although I am not here in person, we had this conversation a long time ago.”
Zhu Rong didn't explain the underlying principles in detail, but instead began to describe the white spider on her own:
"These Mistweavers have always existed here. I just gave them a special training when I passed by. After all, they are a rare and special race with extraordinary illusionary abilities that can produce a powerful isolation effect."
Her tone carried an undeniable certainty:
"Believe me, with this group of white spiders, it's like having a thick city wall that can be moved and opened at any time. It will be very effective in defending and protecting the city's perimeter."
Li Yu listened quietly, and understood that the spider swarm did not refrain from attacking humans, but rather that they specifically avoided attacking them.
All of this was clearly arranged in advance by the Ninth Star Lord.
Li Yu grew increasingly curious about Zhu Rong's abilities, and to test him, he suddenly blurted out a question:
"Ninth Star Lord, have you eaten?"
"I ate," Zhu Rong replied quickly, as if she had expected Li Yu to ask this question.
"What did you eat..." Li Yu was about to ask, but before she could finish speaking, the other person answered first:
"Roasted animal meat."
Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Such clear and fluent responses made it hard to believe that this was not a synchronous communication ability.
The Ninth Star Lord not only knew exactly what he was going to ask, but also knew exactly what he was going to say next.
But then I thought, if the Ninth Star Lord really needed to communicate with him in real time, he could just make a phone call. There was no need to go to such great lengths, set up such a complicated scheme, and wait for his arrival.
Not to mention Li Yu was full of doubts, the Nightmare Beast beside her was even more terrified. It stared at the Ninth Star Lord's spiritual energy, and its already huge black eyes widened even more.
It was confirmed countless times that this was not communication at all!
Compared to human technology, the spiritual energy left in this shoulder bag is at most a recording device.
The Nightmare Beast even suspected that it and Li Yu were trapped in a powerful hallucination, but that was impossible, unless—
Suddenly, Li Yu and the Nightmare Beast exchanged a glance. They both vaguely guessed the Ninth Star Lord's abilities, and it was clear that the other party was deliberately showing Li Yu some special ability he possessed.
Li Yu did not explicitly state her suspicions, but instead continued to press for answers:
"Then what is the connection between these spiders you cultivated and me, and this ghost town?"
After all, even if the Ninth Star Lord gave him the spider swarm, he couldn't possibly continue migrating with a group of spider beasts.
Zhu Rong, however, seemed to have guessed Li Yu's thoughts and explained earnestly:
"Of course you don't need it now, but you will soon. When that time comes, all you need to remember is to do me a favor unconditionally."
She said in a low voice, as if there was a hidden meaning in her words, "After all, for you, this is a solid rear when facing danger."
"Help?" Li Yu didn't find it hard to accept, after all, given his personality, he had helped quite a lot.
Zhu Rong's designation clearly indicates that she believes the spider she gave Li Yu will help him later, in exchange for Li Yu helping her in return.
Li Yu couldn't help but look at the crawling white spider. Judging from its rather dim intelligence, he really doubted whether it could understand human speech and whether it could really be of any help to him in the future.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yu casually agreed:
"Okay, come find me when you need help."
Since the Ninth Star Lord has taken the initiative to come to us, whether these spiders can play a helpful role later is not so important.
Even if the spider is completely useless, it's not a big deal to help the Ninth Star Lord.
Seeing Li Yu's casual acceptance, Zhu Rong chuckled softly and then confidently said, "Don't worry, you'll see when the time comes."
"I have already planted the seed of loyalty to you in the consciousness of their leader. When it sees you, it will obediently acknowledge you as its master."
"Even if I'm not there, it will absolutely obey your orders and continue to stay in this fog to protect everything for you."
"Hmm... I see." Li Yu looked at the white giant spider lying obediently in front of him. Its docile appearance and submissive posture made him have no choice but to believe what the Ninth Star Lord had said.
This energy seemed to have been waiting for Li Yu's response. After Zhu Rong finished speaking and Li Yu agreed, the ball of spiritual energy radiating a soft light was completely exhausted.
Before dissipating, the Ninth Star Lord's last words echoed softly:
"Li Yu, I wish you all the best. When the time is right, I will come to find you."
As the sound faded away, Li Yu's mental state returned to calm.
Li Yu didn't really like the Ninth Star Lord's roundabout and elusive way of doing things, but after all, each Star Lord had their own personality and thoughts. Although he didn't understand, he expressed his understanding and respect.
Coming to his senses, he saw only the giant white spider still lying there, its two rows of eyes scrutinizing Li Yu as if carefully observing the master it had been waiting for.
