Chapter 2279 — An Important Piece of News

"Naturally. The Great Fire Lion's breath and the lesser fire lions' use of Fireflow Divine Bombs can both destroy the Heaven-Snaring Net, but it takes a certain amount of time—and that time is enough for us to flee back!" the Heaven-Rank Spider said. "Near our caves, ancient prohibitions exist. The Fire Lion clan would not be so idle as to come attack us inside our caves..."
Wei Zhao nodded. The Fire Lion clan's caves also had ancient prohibitions. It seemed these spirit beasts all had trump cards of their own.
"Then my Fireflow Divine Bomb can also destroy this Heaven-Snaring Net?" Wei Zhao asked. "Apart from that, is there no other way to destroy the Heaven-Snaring Net?"
"Your Fireflow Divine Bomb naturally can," the Heaven-Rank Spider replied. "But others are not without means either. One can destroy the Heaven-Snaring Net by continuously unleashing martial techniques or by using weapons infused with true qi! However, even a Heaven-Rank expert would need a certain amount of time to destroy this Heaven-Snaring Net."
"I understand. This is a treasure that can instantly bind an enemy, but it is one-use only and cannot be recovered or reused." Wei Zhao grasped the purpose of this item. He had to admit—this thing, like the Fireflow Divine Bomb, was an excellent life-saving trump card!
If Wei Zhao had possessed this thing earlier, he would not have been in such a sorry state when fighting the Great Protector. He could have simply tossed the net over him, then unleashed a barrage of true qi bombs, Frenzied Fire Fists, and Fireflow Divine Bombs, and then fled with Sun Jingyan—he would not have been injured.
"That is how it is," the Heaven-Rank Spider said. "At present, we have only these three Heaven-Snaring Nets left in our possession, so Mr. Lin must not think us stingy..."
"Of course not." Wei Zhao could not have been happier. To him, healing the little spider had been a mere lift of the hand, and the Sky Thunder Pig's help in finding the little spider for the Heaven-Rank Spider had been to clear itself of suspicion so it could leave this place. So in a sense, these three Heaven-Snaring Nets were obtained for free.
"Thank you for your understanding, benefactor," the Heaven-Rank Spider said.
As they spoke, the group returned to the spider clan's cave. The Heaven-Rank Spider instructed the other spiders to prepare a feast, while it, together with the little spider, accompanied Wei Zhao in the cave to chat.
Wei Zhao looked at the three exquisite little nets in his hand. It was hard to imagine that these were the same great net that had captured them before. However, this thing only expanded when in use; ordinarily it was only the size of a small patch, easy to carry on one's person at any time.
After carefully inquiring about how to use them, Wei Zhao stowed the things away with care. These were tremendous treasures—this trip to the Wulonghaote Mountains had been quite fruitful for Wei Zhao!
"Mr. Lin, though the token of gratitude I have brought out may be somewhat modest, there is... one more very important piece of news I can tell you, as the spider clan's thanks!" The Heaven-Rank Spider had pondered for a long while before deciding to divulge this news.
"Oh? What news?" Wei Zhao asked.
"About... the Heavenly Dao..." the Heaven-Rank Spider said after a moment's hesitation.
