Chapter 2277 — So That Was It, Part 1
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
The Heaven-Rank Spider was somewhat surprised. It had never told Wei Zhao and the others in which direction of the mountain range the natural treasures were produced, yet the Heaven-Rank Thunder Pig had pointed out the approximate direction precisely! So at this moment it was all the more convinced that the Thunder Pig truly possessed real ability!
"Let us go over and take a look together," the Heaven-Rank Spider thought, and its attitude toward Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan grew considerably friendlier. It believed they genuinely wished to help it.
"Agreed!" Wei Zhao nodded and said, without ever entertaining the thought of escape. After all, these spiders' so-called "Heaven-and-Earth Net" was rather terrifying, and fleeing from that great net would be extremely difficult.
The Heaven-Rank Spider went in person, bringing along several Mystic-Rank spiders, and together with Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan, they followed the Heaven-Rank Thunder Pig at a quick pace toward the direction it indicated.
Looking at the numbers of the spider clan, Wei Zhao found it hard to imagine that under such lopsided conditions of population, the Fire Lion clan could actually be a match for the spider clan and even be evenly matched... Most likely, the spiders' offensive capability was comparatively weak while that of the Fire Lion clan was comparatively strong, and this was precisely what had created the situation in which neither clan could do anything about the other!
The key was that the natural treasures here were limited. Those in the same trade are rivals, and one mountain cannot hold two tigers, so small skirmishes were certainly ceaseless. This Fireflow Divine Bomb was perhaps the weapon for breaking that great net, but Wei Zhao had only one left, and he did not think he could escape the siege of so many spiders.
As the Heaven-Rank Thunder Pig walked farther and farther, the Heaven-Rank Spider grew more and more astonished, for the direction the Thunder Pig was traveling was precisely where the natural treasures that the spider clan needed grew!
Yet astonished as it was, the Heaven-Rank Spider grew increasingly worried at heart. Since the Thunder Pig had found the place where these natural treasures were produced, but had not found the place where the natural treasures currently were, what was the reason for that?
After all, the natural treasures here had already been harvested, and along with them the Heaven-Rank Spider's son, the little spider, had vanished without a trace! The Heaven-Rank Spider had also sent its subordinates to search back and forth along this path many times, yet had found no sign of the little spider!
"Along this path, I have sent my subordinates to search back and forth many times, and have found no trace of my son," the Heaven-Rank Spider said to the Thunder Pig. It spoke in human tongue throughout, so that Wei Zhao could understand as well.
"Ji ji..." The Thunder Pig, however, shook its head and made a response to the Heaven-Rank Spider, meaning for it not to make noise and to be patient for a moment!
A spirit beast at the peak of the late Mystic Rank was actually treating a Heaven-Rank spirit beast this way. At any ordinary time, the Heaven-Rank Spider would long since have flown into a rage, but now it had no choice but to obey the Thunder Pig and await its next judgment.
The Thunder Pig arrived at the place where the natural treasures were produced. It was a great tree, its fruit already plucked, yet the Thunder Pig still lingered here for quite a while, carefully sniffing the scents of the place for a long time, then suddenly turned around and headed off in another direction!
That way lay a steep cliff. The Thunder Pig's destination left the Heaven-Rank Spider, Wei Zhao, and the others all bewildered. Could it be that the little spider had fallen off the cliff?
