Chapter 997: Honest Men Sweating
Ying Tiechui posed a question that stumped Ying Sanqiang, Ying Dadao, and Ying Jian, even causing Ying Tu’s expression to freeze for a moment. But only for a moment, as Ying Tu concealed it well, maintaining a composed face as he explained, "The Eight-point Spider is a creature undisclosed by the Alliance."
The next second.
On the screen, Shen Changqing explained, "The Eight-point Spider is a creature undisclosed by the Alliance because it actually carries the X virus unique to the Star Beast but is not ruled by the virus’s consciousness. It’s not a Star Beast, but surpasses it. As long as you don’t provoke it, it poses no threat to humans."
Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan were all stunned, eyes wide open, as Ji You exclaimed, "Is there really such a magical Star Beast?"
Chu Jiaojiao said, "What’s this Eight-point Spider? I’ve never heard of it before. Is it really that magical?"
Sheng Qingyan also showed interest as he bent down slightly, staring at the small spider curled up on the ground, looking weak, pitiful, helpless, and harmless, saying, "I’ve never heard of it before either. This Eight-point Spider looks too ordinary, not conspicuous at all, and doesn’t seem worth a billion, oh."
"Don’t get close!" Shen Changqing’s expression tightened as he warned, "Stay back. Its appearance is no different from a regular spider, except for a few dots on its abdomen, which distinguish it from ordinary ones. Also — it’s very dangerous."
"Its danger doesn’t lie in its attack power, but in the concentration of X toxin it carries. Even a single bite can lead to a 99% chance of death from the Star Beast virus!"
"That’s right, only one in ten survives." Shen Changqing spoke with extreme seriousness, his whole body tense as if facing a major threat. First, he put on a helmet, then gloves, goggles, and a scarf. Once he was fully covered, he crouched down, extended his hand, and used tweezers to pick up the curled-up spider, placing it in a sealed bag, saying, "This way, it can’t escape, and the danger is eliminated."
Sheng Qingyan patted his chest, still shaken, saying, "Whoa... that scared the hell out of me. How can there be such a terrifying spider in this world?"
Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao curiously stared at the spider sealed in the transparent bag. Ji You suggested, "Why don’t we check if there are any more spiders in the web? What if there are a few more? Wouldn’t that be several billion?"
The more Ji You thought about it, the more excited he became.
