Chapter 46 Blood Jade Spider

Two men jumped out of the corridor, seeing that the breath was not weak.

Zhao Shouren waved his hand and the two men bowed and retreated.

Zhao Shouren led everyone to the door and heard noisy voices coming from inside.

Zhao Shouren stretched out his hand and pushed it. The stone gate was quite heavy and it took a lot of effort to push it open.

After seeing the situation inside the stone chamber clearly, everyone was slightly stunned.

I saw dozens of middle-aged men standing or lying in the stone room, some of whom were wearing tattered pleated clothes, and some were dressed as farmers, and they were obviously refugees and beggars.

The envoy Gao was originally on guard, but he was stunned when he saw this group of people. Zhao Shouren really didn't lie.

Chen Xiu still remembered the grandmother was looking for her son. The moment she opened the door, she quickly glanced over with her eyes and found no one with a tumor on her head.

When everyone inside saw the door being opened, they started to clamor:

"Master, when will I go to work?"

"The master is a great charity. He gives big fish and meat every time, but he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't live."

Zhao Shouren said nothing, closed the door with a snap, turned to the envoy Gao and said, "You are the envoy."

"What are you doing for raising these refugees? Don't tell me that they are hiring them to farm and clean up." Gao's messenger said coldly.

If you recruit slaves and you won’t keep them underground, there must be another reason.

Zhao Shouren glanced at Luo Di: "I'm explaining to Feng Envoy, please avoid these friends."

"No, I'm worried about Feng Jun's safety, so I have to stare at it." Luo Di said with a smile.

The envoy Gao thought that if the Zhao family had evil intentions, Luo Di would be better than not, so he said, "These are all together, advance and retreat together."

Zhao Shouren hesitated and said, "Since that's the case, please come with me."

Zhao Shouren buried his head and walked towards the other side of the corridor. Everyone followed, turned a corner, and came to a semi-natural cave.

I saw a faint white mist filled the cave, and the upside-down stalactites appeared and faintly appeared in the fog, making me feel a bit like a fairyland.

After walking hard in the rugged ground for a long time, everyone was excited when they suddenly saw such a beautiful scenery.

"It's so beautiful." The messenger Gao blurted out.

"Looking at the length of these stalagmites, it has been at least 200,000 years." Chen Xiudao.

"How do you know?" The messenger Gao couldn't help but say.

"The stalactite can only grow by an inch in three hundred years, you can calculate it yourself." Chen Xiu stretched out his fingers and gestured.

"How do you know that three hundred years is an inch?" The Gao Envoy even made arguing.

“I learned geography textbooks.”

"What textbook?" Gao Zhizhe was puzzled.

Zhao Shouren led everyone into the depths of the cave. The cave was in a multi-dimensional network structure, with holes up and down, and holes in the cave, like a maze.

"Hey, where are you going?" The envoy Gao couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, I'll know later." Meng Tianyi said.

It seems that Meng Tianyi knows the inside story, but Meng Tianyi is the apprentice of the second master of the Zhao family. He is half of the Zhao family, so it is natural to know the inside story.

After several turns, Zhao Shouren suddenly stopped and had difficulty seeing things in the dark. Dao Ren Sang behind him almost hit him.

"Please click the fire note and see it clearly." Zhao Shouren said.

For practitioners who travel around the world, fire slicing is a common item. Everyone lit fire slicing, and the fire became much brighter.

Seeing what was in front of everyone, everyone took a breath.

I saw cocoons made of white silk hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

Cocoon alone is nothing, what's terrible is that there is a person in each cocoon.

Living people were wrapped tightly in silk cocoons, only one head was exposed.

The reason why they are called "living people" is that their faces are rosy, their breathing is even, and they are obviously still alive.

What's strange is that there is a large wooden funnel inserted in their mouths, and I don't know what to do.

"You...they...what are they?!" The Gao Envoy was a little incoherent.

Luo Changsheng's face turned red and his hands clenched into fists. He suddenly realized that the refugees in the stone chamber had been raised to do something.

"Don't be anxious, please listen to my explanation." Zhao Shouren said.

"You must make it clear." The messenger Gao calmed down.

"These blood jade spider silks are the specialties that my Zhao family pays to Qingxu Temple every year. They are the raw materials for making soft spider armor." Zhao Shouren said.

The soft spider armor is a treasure of Qingxu Temple. It is said that it can withstand magic attacks when worn on the body.

At this time, two Zhao family servants walked out of the other end of the cave. They each carried a pot of water, jumped to the top of the cave, poured the pot of water into the funnel, and the water in the funnel slowly flowed into the stomach of the person in the cocoon.

"What they poured was the water of the Spirit Spring. Only when the blood jade spider ate and drinks the Spirit Spring water can they produce qualified blood jade spider silk." Zhao Shouren explained.

Chen Xiu thought that he had heard that there was a spiritual spring in Zhaojiabao before, but it was not a medicinal herb, but used to do this evil thing.

"If you pay tribute, you pay tribute. Why do you want to harm these people?" Luo Changsheng couldn't help but scold.

"Shut up, you are a junior, how dare you be rude to your senior?" Meng Tianyi frowned.

"I will say that if he does evil, evil will not suppress righteousness, you will be retribution." Luo Changsheng pointed at Zhao Shouren.

"This little brother is still young and energetic. I don't blame you. Don't keep talking, it's good and evil. If I'm evil, you won't be right or bad." Zhao Shouren said with a faint smile.

"Why am I not right? I have not harmed anyone. You caught these innocent people to feed the spider. You... it is not an exaggeration to cut it into pieces!" Luo Changsheng was angry.

"The little brother has a good temperament, he is the descendant of the nobles." Zhao Shouren said.

Luo Changsheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that the evil man looked so vicious, and said, "So what?"

"Does the people under your rule pay taxes? You still have to eat those people to maintain a luxurious life. There are people who cannot pay taxes every year, either fleeing, selling children, or starving to death. Have you ever been in charge? What's the difference between eating the people and eating these refugee beggars?" Zhao Shouren said seriously.

"I..." Luo Changsheng was a straight-hearted person, thinking that there might be people who could not pay taxes and starve to death under the rule of his father, and said, "...at least I didn't intentionally kill someone!"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Shouren laughed out loud: "I found these people, they were all refugees and beggars. If it weren't for me, they would have starved to death and froze to death. I took them to the fort and let them have big fish and meat. I'm worthy of them. Anyway, they are going to die. What they lost is just a cheap life. They are in exchange for the best treasure armor. I don't know how many practitioners can save, so what's wrong with it."

After hearing his fallacies, Luo Changsheng didn't know where to refute it.

"You arrested refugees from other places, and you didn't catch locals, right?" Chen Xiu said suddenly.

"My Zhao family is kind and righteous, and has good family traditions for generations. They will never hurt the elders of their hometowns." Zhao Shouren said.

"So, you are a good person." Chen Xiudao.

"That's certain." Zhao Shouren said for granted.

After hearing this, Meng Tianyi had no expression on his face, and Taoist Sang shook his head slightly, feeling a little guilty.

"Let's take action together and save these people." Luo Changsheng whispered to Luo Di and Luo Feng.

"Young Master, this is a matter of Qingxu Temple. We should not set off enemies." Luo Di said in a difficult situation.

Luo Changsheng was in trouble. His strength was low. If he had no two subordinates to help him, it would be difficult to save these people.

At this moment, eight scarlet lights suddenly appeared in the darkness of the cave.

"What?" Gao Envoy said vigilantly.

"Don't talk, it's a blood jade spider. It's fattened by me and will not hurt people normally, but if it disturbs it, you won't be able to protect the accident!" Zhao Shouren said in a low voice.

Then, a giant slowly crawled out.

It was a spider with an elephant size, with a clear body of jade, with a faint bloodstain in the jade.

Its eight legs were supported high, and its huge scarlet eyes were like a row of lanterns moving.

The Blood Jade Spider ignored everyone and crawled straight into the cocoons of human heads, spit out a mouthpart like a straw, inserted it into a person's head, slowly sucking the essence of the human body.

The man who was sucked was not dead, but his face showed a comfortable and comfortable look, as if he was having a beautiful dream.

"What does this spider have to do with that giant hand?" said Gao's messenger.

"I don't know. You all say that the giant hand was caused by the evolution of monsters. The only monsters underground are this blood jade spider. I have shown all the assets of Zhaojiabao to Feng Envoy, so I can give me some innocence." Zhao Shouren said.

The messenger Gao frowned and thought hard, thinking that the appearance of this blood jade spider could not evolve into a giant hand.

What exactly is that giant hand, where did it come from, and where is the five-color jade?

Although I knew the secret of Zhaojiabao, I still couldn't answer many questions.

"Master Zhao, I beg you for something, can you let these people go?" Luo Changsheng suddenly begged.

"Haha, little brother, why do you let the castle lord release people?" Meng Tianyi sarcastically.
