Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2587 Helper
In the end, Qingkong left with Qu Zhenzun and the other three, but Minning Zhenzun stayed behind.

Seeing this, the two True Venerables did not request to go together, lest they be refused.

But the two couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Minning, do you have so much confidence in them?"

“You don’t understand,” Minning Zhenzun shook his head, thinking to himself, is that a matter of faith?

He wasn't sure if Qu Jianlei and Han Li combined could defeat the Divine Insect Clan.

He thought the chances were slim, but he believed that self-preservation should be fine.

Most importantly, both of them were lucky, especially Qu Zhenzun, who often had very good hauls.

Minning Zhenzun came from a poor background and always liked to be meticulous, which is why he insisted on staying in the other world to oversee the camp's expenses.

His earnings over the years have been so-so. When faced with this situation, he should fight for it, regardless of reason, emotion, or self-interest.

Inside the spatial interlayer, the Five True Venerables were moving forward rapidly. Qingkong glanced at Xiwu True Venerable and asked, "Hanli, have you... changed your person?"

“Evening Mist has unique methods,” Han Li replied calmly, “which are quite effective against the Zerg.”

"Song Yue'er's vocal attacks are pretty good too," Qingkong said with a half-smile. "What are you doing... oh, going to Spider's place?"

“Hmm,” Han Li nodded calmly, “That person isn’t too difficult to deal with.”

The area where the Divine Spider was located had long been designated a restricted zone. When the Five True Venerables entered, Lingyun disciples came to investigate.

However, the Great Protector's face was the most useful pass. He waved his hand, indicating that he had business in the restricted area.

Seeing Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Jin Ge beside Qing Kong, Ling Yun's disciples didn't even ask a single question.

After traveling a short distance, Qu Jianlei released the Spirit Mountain and called the other four to come aboard. They then headed straight for the Spider's home planet.

However, spiders are not usually wary.

They were still far apart when a huge phantom spider suddenly emerged from the space, blocking the way forward for Lingshan.

However, it was clear that it still remembered Mount Ling and did not show any hostility. It simply waved a few spider legs to indicate that it was forbidden to proceed.

Qu Jianlei and his group of five were on Mount Ling, so they were not really affected by the opponent's aura.

However, True Venerable Xiwu couldn't help but glance at Han Li; it was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

Although they already knew the other party was harmless, they were still, after all, a Zergling at the half-step Divine Realm!

Without saying a word, Qu Jianlei threw out half a corpse and stared indifferently at the other party.

The spider phantom took the corpse, and the phantom immediately became much more solid. The reason was simple—it was the remains of half a human Nascent Soul.

This Nascent Soul cultivator perished in a battle against the Divine-Divided Human-Faced Bee. The Human True Venerable arrived in time to rescue him, and thus half of his body was recovered.

This person is a wandering ghost, with no friends in the otherworldly group and no relatives or friends in Houde—at least he left no trace.

This situation is rare, but not uncommon. Usually, the body is stored in the camp and a notice is posted for reclaimment upon the return of the inhabitants.

In short, it can currently be treated as an unclaimed corpse.

Qu Jianlei specially obtained a corpse from the camp—by calculating the cause and effect of the corpse, he might be able to pinpoint the human-faced bee.

The spider took the corpse, and its phantom instantly solidified considerably, clearly indicating that it cared a great deal about the matter.

However, the next moment, it transmitted a strong divine sense, which was not only clear but also filled with considerable resentment.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me... You should know that!"

"Not you?" Qu Jianlei and Han Li were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance before Qu Zhenzun hesitantly asked, "Are you sure?"

"You can tell!" Spider's statement was very clear this time, without any of the ambiguity he had before. "I told you, it wasn't me!"

This one is really scared! Qu Jianlei sensed it; the spider didn't want to be associated with the cultivator's death at all.

In other words, there really is a powerful human being behind the spider.

He thought for a moment and said, "I also think it's not you, but it must be the Zerg... right?"

"No, no, that's not how you talk!" the spider snapped, its front legs flailing wildly. "The differences between the Zerg are... huge!"

Its intelligence doesn't seem to be a big problem, but it's really difficult to communicate with.

It took it a long time to express its meaning: the gap between Zerg is sometimes greater than that between Terran and Zerg!
"I need to find this guy," Qu Jianlei said with great indignation, "and I need your help."

Then he tossed out an ugly tree root, "There's a reward!"

Not only Xi Wu Zhenzun, but even Jin Ge and Qing Kong's eyelids twitched twice: You really are a rare Zhenzun!

The spider's forelegs twitched involuntarily a few more times before it replied, "No, impossible... It has nothing to do with me!"

"Exchange!" Qu Jianlei tossed out another ugly tree root. "I'll exchange with you, exchange!"

"Impossible!" This time, the spider answered with unusual firmness. "It... is very powerful, extremely powerful!"

Qu Jianlei was prepared to bargain, but upon hearing this, he was taken aback: "You're weaker than it? I don't believe it!"

The spider did not answer the question, but simply kept waving its forelegs, clearly expressing its refusal.

"So... you two are in cahoots!" Qu Jianlei nodded slightly. "Alright, now that you're secretly eating people, no one can save you!"

"You, you, you..." The spider's forelimbs moved even faster. "You're talking nonsense!"

Qu Jianlei was indeed very afraid of the powerful human behind him!

He nodded slightly. "Okay, I know you won't admit it, so... let's see who everyone believes!"

"You, you, you...you're a scoundrel!" The spider was truly exasperated. "You just want to steal my Heavenly Secret Shuttle!"

"Oh ho, you can frame people too?" Qu Jianlei's interest was piqued upon hearing this. "You're the one talking nonsense, what Heavenly Shuttle..."

He stamped his foot on the sacred mountain beneath his feet, "Can it compare to the treasure beneath my feet?"

"You've got good eyes, kid..." Suddenly, a faint thought swept through Qu Jianlei's mind.

"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this. Was this a hallucination?

He wasn't really sure if some distracting thought had descended upon him, but he had a feeling... well, there was no need to think about it too much.

Even if the other party is a Human High Overlord, so what? Is it reasonable to sit idly by and watch the Zerg's distracted forces run rampant?
The old saying is absolutely true: even heroes are just ordinary people. He had encountered what appeared to be a distracted spirit more than once or twice.

"You're framing me!" the spider continued, "You're trying to blackmail me!"

Qu Jianlei sneered, "Let me remind you, there might be a human lord nearby right now. If you're not afraid of death, just keep slandering me."

The spider's body stiffened, its form becoming increasingly solidified. Then, a faint, strange rhythm rippled around it.

About ten breaths later, a divine sense came from the direction of the spider; it was not only icy cold but also exceptionally clear.

"To find that guy... this isn't enough, you'll need more money!"

"What the hell?" Qu Jianlei was genuinely confused. Asking for more money? Who the hell was this?

However, after roughly sensing the aura, he could basically confirm that the aura before and after was not much different.

This spider has become a spirit... I must say, it really has!
Qu Jianlei raised his hand and put away the two ugly tree roots. "Alright, I shouldn't have come. Sorry for disturbing you!"

His move wasn't entirely a test, because the other party gave him a rather strange feeling.

If he hadn't been under the pressure of the distracting bee, he might have thought about it some more.

But two Divine Soul Insectoids... It's already quite impressive that he was able to remain calm and turn away, isn't it?
"Just like that, you're leaving?" Han Li was clearly dissatisfied. "Fine, I'll remember that. As long as the person is alive, the debt remains. Until we meet again!"

"What's going on here?" True Venerable Qingkong also noticed something amiss.

However, he doesn't take the persuasion route; when the protectors step in, they basically resort to force.

He looked at the enormous spider, then at Qu Han and the other man, "Dealing with it... isn't it a bit too difficult?"

“It has a powerful backer,” Han Li said calmly. “It’s alright, we’ll just take away the evidence that it’s been eating cultivators.”

"I...I...I...didn't...eat!" The spider shook frantically.

Its shaking was so fast that it left afterimages, clearly indicating an abnormal emotional fluctuation.

However, at the same time, that divine sense transmitted again, "Don't bully people... Spider!"

"Huh?" Han Li's mind raced, and he immediately released a palace, ancient and... scarred.

"Let me tell you, this is a treasure that can distract you, so don't mess with it."

In Houde, he couldn't release him, but here it really doesn't matter. Even a Divine Lord wouldn't be able to catch up.

"Huh?" Venerable Qingkong was immediately petrified. "You really...you really took over the Great Lord's palace?"

This rumor has spread to another world, but... it remains a question.

Now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes and the rumors have been confirmed, he feels a chill run down his spine.

But is this damaged Nascent Soul level treasure enough to fight the enemy now?

The divine thought accompanying the spider was clearly not a half-step into the Divine Realm, but rather infinitely close to it, or even the divine thought of a Divine Realm cultivator.

Therefore, this treasure may not actually be enough to defend against the opponent.

Qingkong gradually calmed down and realized that his actions were actually a bit timid!
However, Qu Jianlei didn't think so, and neither did Han Li—it didn't matter if the magic weapon was a little inferior, the key was to see the other party's reaction.

However, the other party was indeed very knowledgeable and experienced, and surprisingly did not react at all.

After a long while, a voice came from the other side: "In the last transaction, my family lost money, while you guys made a huge profit."

Apart from Qu Jianlei and Han Li, the other three True Venerables looked at each other, completely bewildered—what was the last transaction, and how did they lose money?
Han Li could basically understand it, but... he couldn't explain it because he didn't understand the conversion logic.

A section of San Sheng silk over ten meters long is unusual, he knows that, but a tree root carrying the aura of creation... is very cheap?
Qu Jianlei spoke up leisurely, "Your Majesty's words are inappropriate. If it weren't for the aura of creation, could you have been resurrected in such a short time?"
