Chapter 51

Obviously!
With the fisherman in the straw raincoat from the Three Realms around, Sui Niang will not encounter any danger.
At the very least, people like Tiger God wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Since the danger doesn't come from outside, it must come from this fisherman in the straw raincoat.
They bully men and women, oppress the villagers, and act with impunity!
How can humanity prosper if such people walk on the earth? How could it possibly prosper?
"Zhu Ge!" Scholar Yu also stepped forward, his face full of anger. "What are your thoughts? If you go too far, I'll just smash myself to pieces!"
"Let's go take a look first." Zhu Ge was also furious.
The two walked hand in hand and soon arrived at the outside of Sui Niang's house.
As for Duan Lei and Ji Fuhui, they are, after all, mortals, and are probably sleeping soundly right now, undisturbed.
At this moment, the house of Sui Niang in front of the two was covered by a fish basket with its opening facing downwards.
The fish basket's illusory shape emitted a faint green light, making it impossible to see what was happening inside the room within the basket.
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Enraged, Yu Xiucai's eyes and throat flashed with white light. With a flick of his right hand, he wrote the character "儒" (Confucian scholar) and shone it onto the fish basket.
"break!"
However, the character "儒" (Ru, meaning Confucian or scholar) shattered into points of light as it struck the fish basket, just like an egg hitting a stone.
Yu Xiucai was not surprised at all when he saw this. He bit his index finger and blood gushed out.
He casually spat the skin and flesh from his fingertips to one side, and the finger bones at the ends of his fingers were vaguely visible, but he seemed not to feel any pain.
The character "杀" (kill) was formed, written in Yu Xiucai's blood, with a flowing, flamboyant style.
"That damned fisherman in the straw raincoat, he's cheating my people!"
Tears welled in Yu Xiucai's eyes, his lips were bitten until they bled, and the character "Ru" on his chest shone brightly with each heartbeat.
"Scholar!"
Zhu Ge's eyes were even more bloodshot than two days ago: "To shatter the jade now would be like throwing an egg against a rock, not a fight to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiucai turned around abruptly: "Zhu Ge! That's Sui Niang! Xian Xian is inside too!"
"I know!" Zhu Ge had blood at the corner of his mouth, but he held onto Yu Xiucai tightly.
"If we both die, what about them? We can uphold our Confucian ideals, but who will care about Big-bellied Dog and Little Black Egg? If Xianxian and Sui Niang die, who will avenge them?"
Zhu Ge suppressed a surge of metallic sweetness as it rose into her throat, then into her head, before rapidly spreading throughout her body.
A strange feeling arose spontaneously.
The first realm of martial arts is called... Resentment!
"I rescued them with my own hands, I spent every day with them..." Zhu Ge felt no joy at having entered the first realm of martial arts, only a heavy, aching pain in his heart:
"I'd like to fight to the death too, but that's cowardly! If I die, who will bear the suffering of the living? Can't you even endure this kind of torment?"
Zhu Ge lowered her voice, her tone frighteningly calm.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiucai's veins still bulged, but the nails embedded in the flesh of his left hand slowly relaxed, and a surge of literary energy enveloped his injured index finger on his right hand.
"I... I'll listen to you." Yu Xiucai fell silent, walked behind Zhu Ge, and stood quietly.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Ge turned his head and looked up at the fish basket.
Fourteen years of lifespan...
Zhu Ge felt as if her heart was exploding with intense heat, yet it also felt as if it were extremely cold.
I glanced at the simulator interface.
Name: Zhu Ge
Lifespan: 16 year
【Characteristic: Not wearing】
[Inventory: Spider, Kunpeng]
He forgot that he had already reached the first realm of martial arts, which had increased his lifespan by two years.
I'm not sure if I can use "Spider"?
Will I die instantly?
Should we use "Kunpeng" or "Spider"?
Yes, it should be "spider".
Judging from the introduction, "Kunpeng" is more inclined to post-event review or quick thinking in emergency situations.
The "spider" represents planning and weaving its web.
Many thoughts raced through Zhu Ge's mind, but ultimately coalesced into one sentence—
Spider, put it on!
The thought flashed through his mind, and even though Zhu Ge had already been through several brushes with death, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But after realizing he hadn't been completely drained, he felt a slight sense of relief.
In my mind, the simulator's interface has also changed.
Name: Zhu Ge
Lifespan: 8 year
[Trait: Spider]
[Inventory: Kunpeng]
Eight years of life? Zhu Ge felt somewhat fortunate.
And in the next instant, a strange ability arose spontaneously from within.
"In control".
"layout."
"hide."
"Traction".
"Luring the enemy into a trap."
……
A series of strange abilities flowed through his mind, giving him a feeling...
Looking up at the sky, he seemed to have only a springboard to reach for the stars.
Looking down at the ground, he seemed to need only a fulcrum to move the thick soil.
Everything can be controlled!
Of course, if you were to plan and design it this way, the cost and time involved would be terrifying.
He only has one minute to use it, so he can only make one plan and weave one net.
Then, Zhu Ge looked at the house and fish basket in front of her, her gaze seemingly piercing through the barrier to see a certain "flying insect" inside.
"Weave a net!"
In the depths of Zhu Ge's eyes, an almost invisible spider web was reflected, with the fisherman in a straw raincoat at its center, shrouded in a fish basket.
The spider web surged outwards like a tidal wave, reaching into unknown depths.
These spider webs, like chains, wrapped around the fisherman in the straw raincoat at the center, tighter and tighter.
"I see……"
Zhu Ge had a sudden realization.
He recognized some of the spider silk.
One path leads towards the direction where Tiger God was originally located, and the other leads towards the direction where Mr. Insect is located.
The spider silk connecting Zhu Ge and Yu Xiucai, or perhaps the end of the spider silk extended into the house of Ji Fuhui and Duan Lei not far away.
There were also countless spider webs connecting to various places overlooked by the blessing songs, places that connected to all sorts of insects.
At the Awakening of Insects, insects appear!
At that time, there will be a dense swarm of insects!
"Many of the spider silk threads didn't have anything attached to their ends."
Zhu Ge looked around and vaguely understood the meaning behind the spider silk that had no connecting ends.
To completely lock down the fishermen in straw raincoats, this might be enough, or it might not be enough; everything is uncertain.
Just like a spider weaving a web, whether it can trap insects remains to be seen.
But at least, Zhu Ge has a fighting chance.
"Even with just a single spider silk thread, I could trap and kill it, but now there are so many spider silk threads..."
Zhu Ge's mind became clearer and clearer, and after wearing the "Spider," a series of plans began to form in her mind.
"On the nineteenth day, nineteen days from now, the fisherman in the straw raincoat will surely die!"
He got a number in his mind, and then, before the "spider" completely disappeared, he glanced at Yu Xiucai and suddenly discovered another use for the "spider".
He quickly glanced at himself again in the same way, then at Ji Fuhui and Duan Lei in the distance, and felt reassured.
Spiders can not only weave webs to hunt, but they can also plan for themselves!
"Our path can also be taken this way..."
I'll have to talk to everyone about it tomorrow.
