Zhu Fanfan took out a "nothing to worry about" sign: "Perfectly round, how are things over there?"
Yuanyuan replied, "We're fine. A few poisonous spiders came in, but Manman has already sucked out the venom. The spiders here are no longer poisonous. Elder Wu just said that the other car is also fine. They used their supernatural abilities to control the poisonous spiders that came in. They weren't injured. They've already teleported the Ghost-Eating Spider here, and Manman is absorbing it."
Then Zhu Fanfan said pitifully, "Grandpa Zhuge, we can't go back."
Zhuge Qianxing observed the surroundings: "We didn't see the Ghost-Eating Spiders during the day, nor at dusk. They only come at night, which means they don't like light."
Zhu Fanfan saw that Grandpa Zhuge was looking at her backpack, and spread her hands: "I do have a flashlight, but the light can't shine that brightly. Grandpa Zhuge, tell me something I don't know."
She knew when the Devouring Spider appeared; in fact, they were the first to spot it.
Zhuge Qianxing said, "I have a cage made of silk, but I need your help."
Zhu Fanfan, who had never heard of it before, asked, "What is it?"
Zhuge Qianxing explained, "It was passed down from my family. It can change size. It's mainly used to put strange beasts inside. You and I will put these Ghost-Eating Spiders inside together."
Zhu Fan asked curiously, "What if it gets bigger and the gap gets bigger too, and it escapes again?"
Zhuge Qianxing said helplessly, "Little ancestor, this is called a prison silk cage. It can imprison even things that are as thin as silk. Get to work! We'll give you one when our people finish refining the spatial artifacts."
Zhu Fanfan made a request: "Three."
Zhuge Qianxing wanted to say no, but Zhu Fanfan spoke up: "Don't even mention that so many Ghost-Eating Spiders can only create a few. Even Nie Gao from the weapon-refining group doesn't know about Ghost-Eating Spiders. He only knows that this thing is basically never seen in the world. We are lucky to have encountered it today."
Zhuge Qianxing wanted to give her a faceless mask so that she could locate the poison in the sky. Only she was lucky enough to do so. He could only say, "Besides the Ghost-Eating Spider, there are other things to help, and it may not be successful. I can make a decision if I give you one, but I can't guarantee three."
Zhu Fanfan suggested, "Then give me a set of weapon-refining tools and some materials, and I'll refine it myself."
Zhuge Qianxing said, "I can give you the item, but spatial artifacts are considered high-level in weapon crafting, and your chances of success are almost nonexistent."
Zhu Fanfan said, "I'm not going to become a high-level alchemist right away. It's always good to have more skills. Since I can't refine pills anymore, I have to learn a trade so I can work for you in the future and earn some things that can only be bought in the Dragon Group."
Zhuge Qianxing agreed and expanded the cage until it was as big as a house. Zhu Fanfan was envious: "Can you make one like this? If we had one, we could take it on missions and have a house to live in even in the middle of nowhere. How comfortable would that be?"
Zhuge Qianxing shattered her dream: "This was passed down from my ancestors, and so far there has been no second one. Just give up. If you become my disciple, I might pass it on to you before I die."
Since he was neither married nor had children, if a disciple were to inherit his mantle, the knowledge would be passed down to future generations, after all, a disciple is still a son.
Zhu Fanfan directly refused: "Then forget it. I have plenty of good stuff, I don't care."
As they talked, they continued to control the Ghost-Eating Spiders and throw them into the Prison Silk Cage. Even with both of them constantly throwing them in, the number of Ghost-Eating Spiders kept increasing. Zhu Fanfan couldn't help but complain, "Was our intelligence wrong? Are Ghost-Eating Spiders actually quite common here?"
Zhuge Qianxing shattered her illusions: "The Devouring Spider is something that has disappeared without a trace. This may be the last batch in the world. If we take it back, it will not survive at all. We will fill as many as we can. This is our last chance to see it alive."
Zhu Fanfan stopped talking and got back to work. As she worked, she realized something was wrong: "They've run away."
Zhuge Qianxing wanted to bring back all the escapees, but Zhu Fanfan stopped him immediately. His mental strength collapsed instantly, and Zhuge Qianxing asked Zhu Fanfan, "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Fanfan said, "They're already trying to run away, so let's give them a break. We need to ensure sustainable development. What if they come back in droves someday? We can always come back to them when we need more space-related products."
Zhuge Qianxing withdrew his spiritual power, surveyed the surroundings, and only after confirming that there were no Ghost-Eating Spiders did he say, "Why did they retreat? I didn't sense any connection between them and the Ghost-Eating Spiders in the cage. They definitely retreated because they were afraid."
After their mental strength increased, they were able to sense the emotions of people or animals. These Ghost-Eating Spiders were indeed leaving out of fear. He was also certain that the Ghost-Eating Spiders in the cage could not communicate with the outside world. Moreover, he had already checked and there were no powerful alien beasts around, nor was anything amiss. It was truly strange.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Animals, like humans, have very sensitive intuition. They sensed that we were more powerful and couldn't afford to mess with us, so they ran away."
They must be relying on their own toxicity to be invincible in this area, which is why they have reproduced so many times. The animals must have their own special ways of communicating, and someone must have alerted them.
Zhuge Qianxing stopped worrying: "I'll have someone clean the inside and outside of the car in a bit. Some of the Devouring Spiders will definitely commit suicide to deal with us. Their toxins are left on the glass, and if we don't clean them, they might corrode our things. When you get back, get some rest and be well-rested for tomorrow's adventure."
He was too confident in his modified vehicle and in his own people, which is why he didn't arrange for night shifts and made such a basic mistake. He should arrange for someone to be on night shifts from now on; these animals on the snowy mountains are so annoying.
With Zhuge Qianxing directing them, the vehicle was quickly cleaned up, and several people were arranged to take turns keeping watch at night, so they could continue their journey during the day.
As soon as Zhu Fanfan got back into the car, she received a warm welcome. Yuan Yuan said with starry eyes, "Fanfan, you are amazing! You actually made your magnetic field disappear, like you were invisible. I could see outside. You used your mental power to trap the poisonous spider."
It feels so safe to be in a group with such strong combative people. Zhu Fanfan proudly raised her head: "Oh, you flatter me so much, Yuanyuan, you are so good at talking. Please say more, I love to hear it."
