Chapter 315: Lockdown

On that afternoon, Fang Zhonghua arrived in the capital, and Chu Han introduced Fang Zhonghua to Ye Xuan and others.

“This is Fang Zhonghua, with the ability of SS-class Soul Annihilation, capable of directly harming the soul. He will deal with the spider monster this time,” Chu Han said.

Fang Zhonghua smiled, “Old Chu, I have already understood the situation. This spider monster, ever-changing, can be called the emperor among spiders. Let’s call it the Spider Emperor!”

Chu Han said calmly, “Do as you wish. Anyway, this creature may have already started producing offspring. We need to find it quickly and eliminate it.”

Fang Zhonghua pursed his lips and said, “If I have seen this creature before, I can guarantee it won’t escape. Once I have seen it, I can lock onto its soul. But now, since I haven’t seen it, there’s not much I can do unless it shows up again.”

Ye Xuan frowned, “If it’s producing offspring, it may not show itself easily.”

Su Mengli also looked serious, “If that’s the case, it’s the worst-case scenario. Thousands of shape-shifting Spider Emperors, if their offspring continue to multiply, the total number may exceed that of humans, which is not impossible.”

If this Spider Emperor hatches a thousand offspring at a time, and each of its offspring hatches another thousand, the third generation would be a million Spider Emperors, and the fourth generation would be a billion.

This number is too staggering, coupled with their eerie and versatile abilities, it is definitely apocalyptic.

Ye Xuan regretted, “If I had known at the banquet, I should have destroyed it at all costs. Even if it meant bearing some blame, it would have been better than causing such a disaster.”

Ye Xuan was ultimately not ruthless enough. At the banquet, those businessmen were hypnotized and then voluntarily attacked the lightning barrier. Ye Xuan, out of soft-heartedness, released the barrier, leading to the serious consequences now.

Long Hanjie patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder, “It’s also my fault, I couldn’t resist the temptation…”

Fang Zhonghua interjected, “Alright, there’s no need to blame yourselves. So what if it produces offspring? If necessary, let Senior Chen take action. I heard that Senior Chen, through some stroke of luck, lived a second life with ample lifespan. With his ability to speak and act in accordance with the rules, dealing with this Spider Emperor is not a difficult mission.”

Chu Han added, “Yes, I almost forgot. With Senior Chen’s ability, he can easily locate the Spider Emperor. Even if it truly produces over a thousand offspring, he can exterminate them!”

Senior Chen’s ability to speak and act in accordance with the rules is extremely powerful within the rules.

For example, in dealing with the Spider Emperor, his ability to speak and act in accordance with the rules can reveal the location of the Spider Emperor.

And if there were no considerations for consequences, Senior Chen could even directly curse and kill the Spider Emperor and its offspring with just a sentence.

Of course, directly using the ability to speak and act in accordance with the rules to kill from a long distance, or to curse and kill the Spider Emperor and its offspring, would have a significant impact on Senior Chen’s lifespan. Unless absolutely necessary, Senior Chen would not use this ability.

Because doing so would essentially mean mutual destruction. Compared to revealing the location of the Spider Emperor, it was not a difficult mission and would not consume much of his energy.

The situation with the Spider Emperor was urgent, so they headed straight to Senior Chen’s house.

Senior Chen was playing chess with his old friend, dressed in children’s clothing, standing on a chair, playing chess with his old friend, looking adorable.

Chu Han and the others approached, “Senior Chen, we need your help this time.”

Senior Chen placed the chess piece down, stood on the chessboard, and managed to meet Chu Han and the others eye to eye.

He looked at Chu Han, “What’s the matter?”

Chu Han explained, “A strange spider capable of endless transformations has escaped. It should be producing offspring now. I would like Senior Chen to determine its location so we can eradicate it sooner and prevent chaos in China.”

Senior Chen nodded, “Show me any videos or information about that spider so I can lock onto it.”

Although Senior Chen’s ability was strong, he still needed some basic information.

Chu Han had already prepared the surveillance footage from the hospital corridor.

After watching for a while, Senior Chen exited the video and opened a map app on his phone.

Then, Senior Chen said slowly, “Next, the location of this mutated spider will appear on the phone map.”

Subsequently, as if being controlled by an invisible hand, the map app on the phone began to move on its own.

At the same time, the map was gradually zooming in, as if an unseen force was manipulating and controlling the phone.

Two minutes later, the map stopped changing, and now displayed a navigation route.

Following this navigation route on the map, they would be able to find the Spider Emperor in just two hours.

Senior Chen then said, “Alright, follow this navigation to find the mutated spider. Don’t delay, set off quickly to avoid its location changing again.”

The group naturally did not object, and Senior Chen suggested, “Should I go with you?”

Chu Han directly refused, “Not for now. Senior Chen, with your current appearance, if we take you out, it will feel like hiring child labor!”

Senior Chen helplessly said, “Alright then, you go ahead. Stay safe.”

To be honest, with the current lineup of Ye Xuan and the others, dealing with an Spider Emperor was indeed more than enough.

Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, along with Long Hanjie, three SSS-class geniuses, plus Chu Han and Fang Zhonghua, the two SS-class mainstays, the combined strength of the five was more than sufficient to kill the Spider Emperor.

Thirty minutes later, the group finally arrived at their destination. It was an uninhabited small hill, with an entrance covered by weeds on the right side of the hill.

Ye Xuan used his ability to lightly wave his hand, causing the countless weeds to scatter, revealing the entrance.

Then, the group followed the entrance deep into the mountain, sloping downwards.

As they delved deeper, they should have reached a depth of several tens of meters underground. Without Senior Chen’s ability, finding the Spider Emperor would have been like finding a needle in a haystack.

Finally, the group arrived in a spacious underground world, a strong smell of blood permeated the air, and everyone immediately looked over.
