Chapter 120: Perfection
Soon, the damaged treasure ship slowly sailed into that relatively narrow waterway filled with jagged rocks and lush water plants.
The waterway was winding, and the light dimmed considerably. The shouts and killing sounds from Nine Waves Island in the distance seemed blocked off, appearing muffled and distant.
Chen Qing moored the ship at a relatively open position in the waterway and shut off the paddle wheels.
Chen Qing played with the Thunderbolt Fire Seeds in his hand. "No matter what, thirty thousand taels of silver are in hand."
He didn't know what the income from guarding the waterway would be like, but at least he'd secured the benefits first.
He stood at the bow, his mind stirring slightly as the Bone-Eroding Spider crawled silently from his sleeve.
The little creature moved swiftly. Between the opening and closing of its mouthparts, countless tough spider silks were precisely sprayed out, then wound around the ship's body.
These spider silks were highly poisonous. Not only could they defend, they could also provide early warning. Any touch or forceful impact would immediately pull on the silk threads, allowing Chen Qing to sense it.
Shen Xiuyong's method proved indeed effective.
