Chapter 757 Revisiting the Spider
Chapter 757 Revisiting the Spider
Peter's schedule was indeed very tight, and he didn't stay for more than a day. He basically arrived in Kunlun in the morning, had lunch, and then passed through the Kunlun portal (or rather, the South Heavenly Gate) to the Spider Kingdom.
The scenery here is not as beautiful as Kunlun. All Peter can see are very sharp and pointed stone pillars, piled up together in large and small. Basically, the ground is a death trap. If you are not careful and fall in, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows.
In fact, Peter had already seen quite a few skeletons along the way; they lay there, making the place look even more eerie and terrifying.
Fortunately, neither of the two people who came to this place were ordinary people. Daniel and Peter moved around using these seemingly unstable rock cones. Peter glanced back at the scattered skeletons and said, "I think the reason this place can't recruit apprentices is not only because it's not famous and Kunlun occupies the most resources, but I reckon that most people, even if they come out of curiosity, will give up after seeing this terrain, or simply die on the way."
"The Spider Kingdom is indeed located in a harsh environment. Before the Heart of Heaven shattered, it was one of the most desolate places. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Mountain Spider was able to become an immortal divine beast in this region after the Heart of Heaven was destroyed."
Peter nodded, then suddenly realized: "Wait, are you saying that the Mountain Spider is the weakest of the seven immortal divine beasts?"
Daniel was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I didn't."
Undoubtedly, he has it, but he cannot say it outright.
The two continued their journey for a while through this rugged, cave-like terrain with no ceiling. Finally, they saw something else besides the various sizes of stone cones and pillars—spider silk.
Spiderwebs, each as thick as a finger, connected the different rock pillars, forming a vast network. Peter looked around and then landed on a spiderweb. Daniel followed closely behind.
"According to the spider's habit, if it senses the vibration of the web, it will come to check the situation—my spider sensor is already ringing, even though the web is not moving at all."
The two looked up and saw an enormous spider hanging down from the sky along its web. It had a golden body and eight crimson claws. Although it was said to be quite large, it was actually only a little over ten meters long, far smaller than the frost giant and Surtur that Peter had seen.
"The Azure Dragon's immortal weapon? What do you intend to do by coming to my territory?"
The mountain spider emitted a shrill cry, which didn't sound like a good person. Daniel, however, nonchalantly explained his purpose: "I met a noble warrior who wants to become the immortal weapon of the spider kingdom, so I brought him here."
"A noble warrior? And he wants to become my immortal weapon? Does Old Dragon think I'm stupid? What a scoundrel..."
For some reason, although he couldn't discern any emotion from the mountain spider's eight large, red, jewel-like eyes, Peter still intuitively felt that the creature's eyes were wide open. The enormous mountain spider scurried back and forth, scrutinizing Peter: "Is this real?"
"It's true. He received a revelation from a prophecy that, in order to deal with potential future threats, he needs to become an immortal weapon for the Spider Kingdom..."
"Nonsense! What is this if not destiny? Alright, you can leave now. Don't disturb me while I have a proper conversation with my immortal weapon."
Iron Fist: ... He paused for a moment before continuing, "But he hasn't learned how to use ki yet, so I'll keep nagging him for a while. I'll be leaving now."
After Daniel left, the mountain spider impatiently rubbed its two foremost claws together. "Such powerful life energy, such vigorous vitality, such a robust body, and this power seems to originate from a spider. Even among all the martial arts practitioners in Kunlun, it would be impossible to find a stronger warrior. Mortal, what is your name?"
“Peter Parker, if he’s wearing a mask to fight crime, he usually calls himself Spider-Man.”
Peter felt a little uneasy listening to the mountain spider's description, but as he listened, he suddenly realized something and looked at the mountain spider curiously: "Wait a minute, aren't you connected to the Web of Fate?"
"The Web of Fate? What's that... Oh, I see, you're talking about that thing that uses spider totems as coordinates to connect the entire world." The mountain spider finally understood the source of Peter's power: "That's a good question. A spider used its power to create a huge web, and then everyone or whatever shares power with it becomes a spider totem, including you, right?"
After Peter nodded, the mountain spider continued to ask, "Then, would spiders born at the same time as that spider, or even earlier, involuntarily connect with it?"
Peter paused for a moment, then realized that while Nais created the Web of Fate and Anansi became the first spider totem, that didn't mean there hadn't been spider gods before. The essence of new gods is always a story; in other words, Anansi was already a spider god before becoming a spider totem.
Anansi, for example, actively intervened in the Web of Fate and began to spread its power and knowledge, which is why he became the Spider Totem. The Mountain Spider, on the other hand, was not connected to the web at all, so it was not a Spider Totem; it was simply a Mountain Spider.
"Never mind, it's nothing. It seems you're seeking more spider power. Although I don't intend to get involved in that web, once you become my immortal weapon, I won't object if you want to inject that power into the web. Hehe, you just need to agree to one condition."
As Mountain Spider spoke, he suddenly remembered Iron Fist's line, "He hasn't even learned ki," and immediately asked, "Speaking of which, do you even know how to become an immortal weapon?"
"As far as I know, being allowed to participate in trials, fighting immortal divine beasts, then extracting their hearts and integrating them into one's own body through a specific ritual..."
Peter paused here, because he had a feeling that the mountain spider had something to say.
Mountain Spider really had something to say; he was practically about to swear.
"Any more?"
"……Gone?"
Peter looked puzzled: "Is there more?"
