Chapter 030: Blocking the Door, Caught in the Act
“It’s not impossible to pack them up,” Mu Liang muttered, contemplating the tomato vines. A solution came to mind.
Through telepathy, he conveyed his idea to the Red Ghost Spider:
“Little Red, wrap the tomato vines into a big cocoon.”
“Squeak, squeak~~”
The Red Ghost Spider began spinning silk, skillfully weaving the vines into a large cocoon.
In ten minutes, the entire tomato plant was encased in a white cocoon.
“Good job.”
Mu Liang nodded in approval, then turned his attention to the dome.
Next, he needed to open the dome to create an exit for the Three-colored Lizard.
“First, let’s block the door.”
He gathered some stones, carefully placing them on the ground door until it was entirely sealed.
Bang, bang~~
Despite his caution, the stones made a slight noise, alerting the guards outside.
“Hey! Did you hear something inside?”
“I heard it too. Did you?”
“But there shouldn’t be anyone in there.”
“Could it be someone sneaking in to steal?”
“Don’t be ridiculous! We’ve been guarding here. No one could’ve gotten in.”
“Too bad we don’t have a key. Otherwise, we could check inside.”
“Are you crazy? Last time someone peeked inside, the boss killed him.”
“Uh... I was just joking.”
Eventually, the guards dismissed their concerns, unable to enter without a key.
“...” Mu Liang listened to their conversation, thinking they might try to open the door.@@@@
Grabbing a spear, he moved to the dome’s edge and began prying it open without restraint.
Bang, bang, bang...
Stealing and cooking? Bold.
“You bastard! Break that door now! First one through gets a barrel of water!”
Blood Knife roared furiously.
Even he had never dared grill meat in the cultivation room. Enraged, he barked orders.
“Guard the suspension bridges. No one gets through.”
The guards, wielding torches, secured both ends of the bridges connecting the hills.
Meanwhile, the hooded figure, hiding behind a shadowed rock in the valley, noticed the lit bridges.
“Is it him? Did he get caught?” she wondered.
Watching the bridge without movement, she grew more uncertain.
“Is he inside the central hill? Or not?”
With the thieves now alert, sneaking in later would be harder.
“I’m running out of time,” she muttered, touching her cheek in frustration.
Raising her gaze, she noticed white strands swaying in the wind on the hill.
“What’s that?”
Curiosity piqued, she stealthily approached. Her eyes widened as she spotted a two-meter spider transporting cocoons.
She tightly covered her mouth, suppressing any sound.
She hadn’t expected a beast nearby.
Rustle, rustle...
The wind stirred the air. She saw more cocoons dangling from the hill.
Frozen in place, she speculated, Are those cocoons... people?
After lowering all the cocoons, the Red Ghost Spider began transporting them out of the valley.
“Should I follow it?” she wondered.
“No, it might expose me.”
Shaking her head, she dismissed the idea.
“This could be my chance.”
Gazing at the swaying spider silk, she considered using it to climb the hill and access Blood Beard’s treasure vault.
