After the immortal disappeared

There are mountains and lakes on it, shaded by green trees, with porous caves as the main landform, and flat land is rare. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is not suitable for human production and labor.

Zhu Erniang focused on inspecting several rift valleys. From the perspective of humans, it is a rugged and barren land with nothing but solid rocks and sea breeze. Ordinary people will fall to death if they are not careful. But Zhu Erniang actually gave a "very good" evaluation.

These underground holes are interconnected, dark and moist, but more ventilated than the Demon Nest, and are very suitable for the reproduction of fungi and aphid cows.

The island has fresh water and clay that the burrowing spider needs.

The more complex and varied the terrain, the larger the burrowing spider's range of activity. Humans only see Pansi Island as a flat surface, but for the spiders who are naturally good at climbing, it is a three-dimensional kingdom with several levels up and down!

This territory is larger than Zhu Erniang's territory in Devil's Nest Swamp, and better than the eastern canyon of Mou State, and the entire island is exclusively owned by their sisters.

They quickly selected a valley at the southern end of the island, which was obscured by dense jungle. You couldn't tell there was a deep pit unless you walked in. There is a freshwater stream to the north, and a migratory bay with a depth of about two feet to the south. When the seawater enters here, it becomes calm, and it is easy to gather fish nests, which is suitable for burrowing spider fishing operations.

The spider demon sisters quickly patrolled around, wandering back and forth in various cracks and holes in the ground, and finally said in unison:

"This is it."

Aunt Zhu is a straight person, and she happily said to Zhu Erniang: "Sister, we have a family."

This place looks long-lasting and habitable, and it will be difficult for anyone to drive them away in the future.

Zhu Erniang pointed to the largest crack in the ground: "Go in!"

The spider sloughs lined up to go in. Walking inside is a huge water-eroded cave that can easily accommodate even the largest fairy slough.

"It's really good here." Zhu Erniang did not hesitate to express her satisfaction, "What else do you want?"

It can communicate with Aunt Zhu in real time and has heard about the situation of Yangshan Islands from her sister. Of course, this guy won't insist on giving it an island for no reason. The two parties have already negotiated some conditions.

Finally got to the point. He knew that a pragmatic demon like Zhu Erniang didn't have to beat around the bush.

He Lingchuan said solemnly: "In addition to the exclusive agency for spider demon products we agreed on in advance, there is another urgent matter at the moment, and I need to ask my second mother for help."

"Well, you tell me." Zhu Erniang is now a tenant, so of course she has to be polite to him as the landlord.

So He Lingchuan briefly explained the shortage of manpower during the palm harvesting season, and then said: "This autumn's harvest is crucial, please help me!"

"Okay." Zhu Erniang agreed readily: "Same as other agreements, payment will be based on Xuan Jing."

The monster living in the wilderness has no use for money. It has made an agreement with He Lingchuan in advance. He will be the agent for the output of the spider nest, but in the end it will be settled with Xuan Jing.

In the past, it traded with humans in the Demon Nest Swamp, bartering; but here, it only wanted the Xuan Crystal.

He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "As expected of the second mother, it's so refreshing!"

This is equivalent to the crypt spider being employed by him.

Everyone else was wondering, what solution could this big spider have to solve the manpower shortage problem?

But as soon as the thought came to mind, everyone heard a rustling sound coming from the cracks in the ground, like falling leaves blown by the wind.

But where did the fallen leaves come from inside the cave?

Then, densely packed burrowing spiders emerged from the cracks in the ground.

The largest one is like a galloping horse, and the smallest one is less than the size of a human hand.

The scene was like an overflowing fountain, and even the color of the rock itself was obscured by the black and white spiders.

A fountain made of spiders!

Facing such a battle, everyone except Dong Rui and He Lingchuan couldn't help but take two steps back, feeling chilled in their hearts.

So many burrowing spiders!

It turns out that Master He recruited not just two, but a whole litter of thousands of them!

There is still a faint white mist coming out of the cracks in the ground, and it is getting thicker and thicker as the wind persists.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui knew at a glance that the mirage was coming too!

It followed Zhu Erniang out of the Magic Nest Swamp and ended up here.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

The less people know about the mirage's secrets, the better.

These spiders were defiant, bypassing everyone and continuing to move forward. Some cut branches and leaves, some spewed spider silk, and some picked up debris from the cracks in the ground and threw it away.

As soon as they landed, the cleaning work of the new nest began immediately. It can be said that the division of labor is clear and the cooperation is seamless. It is no worse than the worker ants.

When everyone saw this, they understood clearly and probably guessed what they could do. Sure enough, He Lingchuan rubbed his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to Er Niang to harvest the palms from the four islands including Longji Island."

These six islands were originally uninhabited areas covered by evil spirits, and the hired workers refused to go up there no matter what.

Dong Rui yelled in his heart that it was shameless. They had only developed a total of fourteen islands, and this guy let the cave spider be responsible for nearly 30%, especially because the area of ​​​​Dragon's Back Island was so large.

He Lingchuan understood his expression and rolled his eyes.

What's this? The exclusive product agency agreement he signed with Zhu Erniang was actually a sales agency agreement, which meant that he would pay Xuan Jing only after he sold the product for Zhu Erniang.

This saves him from occupying the payment for goods and accumulating inventory.

There is no way, he is poor! In every aspect, people have to dig for money and want to take advantage.

Zhu Erniang didn't have any objections. It does not need to consider inventory, let alone turnover issues.

As long as He Lingchuan pays Xuan Jing in the end, this guy's reputation is pretty good, a little better than other humans.

The ability of burrowing spiders to climb and pick and transport fruits in mountains is much better than that of humans. A large spider demon doesn't have to climb the tree to get the fruit from a palm tree that's one or two feet high. He can shoot a bunch of spider silk up to it, stick to it and shake it, and he can pull off the tassels filled with ripe fruits.

However, the burrowing spider can only pick, but cannot squeeze the fruit.

Except for weaving, burrowing spiders are unable to perform overly delicate tasks.

"Tell your men to prepare the ships."

He Lingchuan held up his hands and laughed: "Thank you, Er Niang! Can we start work in the evening?" The picking work on the Yangshan Islands is already in full swing, and there can be no delay for a day.

This prehistoric monster has over 10,000 spiders and descendants. Once activated, it can greatly alleviate the manpower shortage. The labor force it saved for He Lingchuan could be redeployed to do other things.

Zhu Erniang snorted. As soon as he moved here, the boy named He was impatient. How could it be unreasonable?

But it was too lazy to complain, and went into the cracks in the ground with its sister to decorate its new home.

He Lingchuan turned around and said to everyone in high spirits: "Let's go back too!"

…

Two days later, Min Tianxi, the former Second Dao pirate leader and now the Second Dao captain, asked to see He Lingchuan and said there was good news.
