Chapter 416: Who Dies and Who Lives?
Gong looks at my remote ball of healing for a moment, at my request to have her create a separate space for the parasite victims. She realizes my plan and gives a nod, closing her eyes to direct the spiders more directly.
In short order, Gong organizes a sizeable portion of her spiders to dig deep, deep underground, away from the underground city, to create another large space. With my scan, I’m able to see the same skills she used to create the underground facility.
Using the spiders’ cultivation and massive numbers, they tunnel through qi infused underground rock formations and use those same materials and their webbing to reinforce their tunnels and areas. Making the structures even more stable than before, despite the open spaces.
As for spirit beasts deep underground, Gong has already been chasing away any potential threats at this level of the area. For those she couldn’t chase away, she redirected away their food sources so that they would move themselves elsewhere.
If the spirit beasts were more intelligent, they might have retaliated. Luckily, none are at that level yet, unlike the spirit beasts I’ve tamed (like the spiders) which have that built into them with my taming contract regardless of cultivation level.
She builds the facility and underground area in a short time. Transporting the over ten thousand people down to it, as she does.
Of course, I have my remote ball of healing float follow close behind.
After quite a bit of time, we arrive in the area. Using my scan, I observe aboveground, far above where we are deep underground. Word has already spread to this area about the possibility of healing the parasite affliction.
Meaning that the groups will start checking the areas they know the victims were in, to ‘remove’ them. Just as we were horrified by the fact that almost all the groups had a section with the parasites below them, most other people would be, too. Getting rid of that possibility of public condemnation and loss of face is the only course of action for them.
