Chapter 313 Borrowing Ten Jin of Silk (3k)
A faint purple aura flickered around the half-human, half-monster. Even the small spiders clustered around her were exceptionally cautious, afraid of being tainted by the purple aura.
“Battle King Level Monster!!”
Looking at the seductive monster that appeared through the window, the Tall Class Leader and the others turned ashen. His voice even trembled slightly.
The Battle King Level Queen Spider’s eyes seemed to possess some kind of magic as she scanned everyone through the window. A more playful smile appeared on her face, and she waved her hand lazily, saying, “Let you speak your minds, or I’ll kill you all.”
As soon as she spoke, sobs could be heard from almost every carriage, followed by various discussions. The middle-aged Train Conductor, after communicating with some important figures on the train, walked out with a grim expression. His gaze fell on the face that could drive most men mad, and he asked in a low voice, “What exactly do you want?”
The Queen Spider glanced at the Train Conductor and her eyes swept across the carriages. She seemed to pause slightly at some of the carriages where the crying was louder, her smile deepening a little. Her purple lips parted slightly, “I want those under eighteen in your carriages.”
“What exactly do you mean? You monsters shouldn’t be lacking in labor, right?”
Grasping the iron hammer crackling with electricity, the Train Conductor’s eyes revealed a solemn look. He said in a deep voice, feeling regret for not listening to Su Jiu’s advice. Now that a mutated Battle King Level Wolf Spider, with a more human-like nature, had appeared, there was really a problem.
“Heh heh, help? No…” The Battle King Level Queen Spider let out a strange laugh, licking her lips again with her slender tongue. She then touched her bulging abdomen and grinned sinisterly, “Of course, it’s to give my children in my belly a taste of something different.”
Upon hearing this horrifying statement, everyone on the train’s face changed drastically. Many quietly summoned their Beast Weapons, preparing for a desperate struggle. The Train Conductor’s expression instantly turned cold, and he said sternly:
“I warn you, there are trackers on the train. I’ve already notified the nearest Dragon Hunter unit. If you act recklessly, they can eliminate you in less than half a day.”
The Battle King Level Queen Spider smiled indifferently, her slender eyes narrowing slightly. She said lightly, “Heh heh, so there’s no room for negotiation? Alright… you can all stay behind. It’s a pity we’ll have to find a new place to live soon.”
“Train Conductor, let’s block her together. We can have the train directly smash through the monster corpse blocking the tunnel entrance.”
As the Battle King Level Queen Spider’s voice fell, the carriage where Su Jiu was previously located suddenly broke open. Three figures then flashed out, finally standing in mid-air. The Tall Class Leader stared at the Battle King Level Queen Spider with icy eyes.
The Battle King Level Queen Spider casually glanced at the Tall Class Leader and the other two, giving a disdainful smile. She began to fiddle with the purple nail polish on her fingers and said, “You’re wearing Dragon Hunter uniforms, aren’t you? But what of it? Without a Battle King, you’ll just be a pile of bones later.”
“Let’s join forces. I’ll go first to break the formation for you.”
The Train Conductor and the Tall Class Leader exchanged a look, nodding slightly. With a firm grip, massive arcs of electricity surged onto the Thunder Hammer. He then stomped the ground fiercely, his body suddenly shooting towards the Battle King Level.
“Interesting human…”
Seeing the Train Conductor charging forward, the Battle King Level Queen Spider smiled calmly. With a casual grab, the purple mist beside her transformed into a sharp blade, colliding with the Thunder Hammer. Instantly, the great hammer exploded, turning into a white light and entering the Train Conductor’s forehead.
The Train Conductor’s body staggered back. His face showed a hint of paleness, and his steps became a little unsteady. The difference between a War General and a Battle King was indeed quite significant.
“Damn it… why are they so slow.”
Glancing at the still-moving train, the Tall Class Leader’s already dark face became even darker. He cursed those people for being as slow as turtles, then picked up his weapon, preparing to charge forward and fight the Battle King Level Queen Spider.
“Human, put away your little tricks. The vicinity is full of my children. Let’s see if your metal beast starts first, or if my children drag out those powerless humans first.”
The Battle King Level Queen Spider sneered, then emitted a buzzing low hum from her abdomen. As the low hum sounded, the countless spiders clinging to the sides of the tracks suddenly had their eyes glow red.
Then, like crabs emerging from the shore, they swarmed towards the train. The scene was so dense, with their scarlet eyes like small red berries. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they wouldn’t necessarily die, but it would at least be an unforgettable experience.
“These White-faced Wolf Spiders are highly venomous. Do not let them get close!”
Facing such a terrifying number of attacking spiders, almost everyone’s face turned pale. They gripped their Beast Weapons, waiting for the moment the windows were broken to engage in a life-or-death Plant vs. Zombie battle.
“Shh! … Dong! Shh! … Dong!”
However, just as the leading large spiders were about to climb onto the train, a white light suddenly flashed from the roof. Two ice walls, a hundred meters long, crushed the heads of those large spiders and then smashed heavily onto the ground less than a meter from the tracks. The emanating cold power continuously spread, instantly freezing any spiders that dared to approach, without any mercy.
In just a moment, countless small spiders were covered in a layer of frost. Their scarlet eyes dimmed slightly, as if frozen to death…
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, everyone present, whether the passengers on the train, the few preparing to fight, or even the Battle King Level Queen Spider, was slightly stunned.
With such a grand display, who could it be?!
Why would anyone dare to stop this train? This was after she had probed repeatedly and scanned with her mental power, finding no Battle King level powerhouses, that she dared to make her move.
The frost and cold air were still rising. This strange scene sent a chill through everyone’s hearts. Even the Train Conductor didn’t know when such a capable person had appeared on the train. His surprise was evident.
Seemingly sensing the presence of a strong individual, the train no longer rushed to depart. It waited for the mysterious powerhouse to show herself. The Tall Class Leader and the others exchanged glances, then helped the slightly injured Train Conductor towards the direction of the ice.
Just by getting close, the bone-chilling cold made Ah Hua, a relatively weaker War General, grimace. It felt as if her blood had frozen, and she quickly erected a protective shield, allowing her blood to flow again.
The silent atmosphere lingered for a while. The Battle King Level Queen Spider finally recovered gradually. Her beautiful eyes swept around hesitantly, feeling a sense of retreat. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, a petite figure slowly walked out from the side of the train car.
The sound of boots stepping on the metal sheets struck everyone’s hearts like a drumbeat. They speculated that the person was an elderly swordsman, and even imagined their frail, ancient, and heroic appearance, like a master of the ancient ways.
Old grandpas who were short because they were old.
“It’s her?!”
Soon, the four people outside discovered Su Jiu walking on the underside of the carriage. The first to feel disbelief were naturally Ah Hua and the Vice Class Leader with black-rimmed glasses. After all, she had suddenly accepted that a girl of her own age was a Monarch Level powerhouse without any prior indication.
The absurdity of it was no less than a neighbor’s child, who had competed with you for grades the day before, suddenly becoming a professor at your school.
If it were you, could you accept it?
“Is she really a member of the Night Watcher organization?”
However, the Train Conductor and the Tall Class Leader exchanged a look. There was surprise in their words, but it was as if they felt this was how it should be. Although surprised, it wasn’t by much.
“Your Excellency, we have no intention of offending you. Please let me go.”
Looking at Su Jiu’s face, the Battle King Level Queen Spider’s eyes flashed with jealousy, but she dared not show it too much.
Her previous move clearly showed that she was already much stronger than herself. Although she was a Lord level monster, she was only in the Initial Stage Battle King. This time, she set up this trap to devour monsters and advance to the Intermediate Battle King.
“You can leave. Hand over ten jin of your essence silk.” Su Jiu said with a light laugh, her gaze fixed on the Battle King Level Queen Spider’s navel, where some broken silk threads were visible. Later, she could go to the alchemy shop to make a piece of clothing for the Silly Duke as a return gift.
Hmm… pure white silk, what would be romantic to make?
This mutated Battle King Level Southern Dragon Country spider is very rare. Monsters that can spin silk generally have two types of silk: ordinary silk used for capturing prey, and essence silk used for nurturing. The quality of essence silk is more than double that of ordinary silk.
“I only have about eight jin of essence silk on me. Asking for ten jin is a bit too much, Your Excellency, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing Su Jiu’s demand, which was almost equivalent to her death, the Queen Spider’s eyes became extremely grim. Essence silk was for nurturing the next generation of kings, and Su Jiu asking for it directly was something she was extremely unwilling to agree to.
“Give it here, eight jin.” Su Jiu’s face still carried a faint smile. She held an ice longsword, not wanting to act directly, mainly because she was afraid of damaging the material for making clothes for the Silly Duke.
The reason for using the Ice Dragon Transformation was also with this consideration in mind. Of course, it was more to prevent accidentally cooking these people in the tunnel.
“Alright, here you go…”
A hint of coldness flickered in her eyes. The Battle King Level Queen Spider showed no other expression on her face and slowly reached towards her navel, as if to retrieve the silk threads.
In short, as soon as the last word was spoken, the Battle King Level Queen Spider’s eyes erupted with a cold glint, and her figure shot out. She flashed to Su Jiu’s side, and the purple poisonous mist surged out. A massive surge of energy directly rushed into the entire carriage.
“Let everyone in the carriage atone for your recklessness. Heh heh, without War General level strength, they will all die in the poisonous mist.”
As the poisonous gas surged, the Battle King Level Queen Spider let out a sinister laugh and then echoed throughout the tunnel. She looked at the passengers with despair on their faces and suddenly revealed a perverted smile.
“War Generals, quickly set up your shields!”
The Train Conductor and the others’ faces changed drastically. They hurriedly tried to erect energy shields to block some of the carriage windows.
“Your strength won’t last long, heh heh.”
The Battle King Level Queen Spider sneered, then turned to look at Su Jiu, wanting to mock her a little. However, she found Su Jiu still smiling, extending her palm towards the sky. In the sky, green frost mist rose, and a strong purification aura continuously emanated.
“But… I am a Priest.”
