Survival: The Evolution of an Evil God Starting from a Spider

Page 281

"Boss, it seems your choice was right. There's an underground warehouse beneath this village, full of food, enough to last us a long time. But we haven't found any edible water. Why is that?"

The elder giant ape gave a detailed report of what he had discovered in the village to the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, and waited for Liu Ziming's decision on how to proceed.

Actually, Liu Ziming hadn't expected that such a large village wouldn't have a source of drinking water, which was quite strange.

"Hehe, don't worry, senior. There's an underground river right beneath our feet. As long as we dig through it, drinking water will definitely not be a problem at all." The slime was standing next to the leader, Liu Ziming, and looked very surprised when it heard his conversation with the giant ape senior.

He had thought about this problem before; if they could solve the problems of food and drinking water, they could survive here in the long term.

"Boss, are you telling the truth? There really is an underground river beneath our feet? Yesterday, when you and that old guy Flame Dragon went out, you discovered this underground river and also found that this village might have food, so you made this place your safe zone?"

The giant ape elder looked particularly excited, and he greeted the leader with a smile.

If the problems of food and drinking water are solved, survival will not be a problem for them at all.

"Senior, how about we arrange our tasks for today? One group will be responsible for weaving the walls of the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng, while the other group will be responsible for digging through the underground river to solve our drinking water problem?" Upon hearing the leader Liu Ziming's arrangement, Slime Jing's face immediately fell with worry. After all, she was a girl and didn't want to do such hard, dirty, and tiring work.

But seeing the expressionless face of his eldest brother, Liu Ziming, he forcibly swallowed back his inner thoughts. "Oh, I didn't expect to wake up to such beautiful weather this morning, it's so comfortable!"

"Hehe, it seems the boss made the right choice in making this place our safe zone. The scenery here is quite nice, and the sleeping area is especially comfortable?" Cat Angel and Seven-Colored Deer came out of their dwelling, stretching lazily, their faces showing great satisfaction...

Because they naively believed that when they woke up, their eldest brother, Liu Ziming, would have food and drinking water ready for them. "Heh, you two little rascals just got up? The sun's already high in the sky! Young people are just so sleepy!"

The giant ape elder noticed that the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, was completely ignoring the cat angel and the seven-colored deer, which made him look somewhat embarrassed.

"Alright, now that everyone's up, I'll announce something. Today we have two main tasks: one is to build the walls of the ancient ghost city, and the other is to dig through the underground river. As for which kind of work to do, you can choose for yourselves." The three girls felt extremely miserable when they heard their leader, Liu Ziming, say this, and when he looked so heartless.

But they had no choice; they had to choose one, because this was their safe zone, not just Liu Ziming's alone, and they knew that. "Since you little guys have agreed to build the wall around the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng, that's fine. After all, clearing the underground river passage is a dirty and tiring job."

In fact, Liu Ziming had already anticipated this. The three little guys would definitely choose the relatively easy task of weaving the city wall, while the task of digging the underground river (1.9) would have to be left to him and the two senior colleagues.

"Now that everyone has chosen their tasks, let's get started after breakfast, shall we? If we want to turn this place into our safe zone, time isn't exactly plentiful." Hearing their leader, Liu Ziming, say this, everyone's expressions were disdainful, as his words sounded alarmist. "This is some food I brought from the underground warehouse. Divide it up, and then get ready for your work."

Because the task was to open up a passage to the underground river, Liu Ziming did not hesitate at all. After eating some food, he started working.

"Hehe, boss, you can leave the task of opening up the underground river to me. This is my specialty."

Chapter 440 Invasion of Foreign Objects

Now that everyone had agreed on their plans and arrangements, they all began to take action. "Hehe, senior, if you can manage on your own, that would be wonderful!"

After all, the Flame Dragon elder boasted that he could open up the underground river passage all by himself, so Liu Ziming always had to say a few words of praise.

However, the old giant ape, seeing the fire dragon's somewhat arrogant display, rolled his eyes at him, looking quite helpless. "Old man, you don't need to show off. Don't you know the power of numbers?"

Although the Flame Dragon Elder was preparing to open up the underground river by himself, Liu Ziming and the Giant Ape Elder were not idle either, and the three of them were working together.

They believed that with many people, there was strength, and that they would soon be able to open up the underground river, allowing the water they needed to flow up.

"My goodness, it must be incredibly difficult to build such a tall wall around such a large village, which is made by a thousand-year-old ghost vine."

Because the Thousand-Year-Old Ghost Vine had many thorns on it, and they had to cut them down themselves, the little guys kept sighing after working for a while.

"Who says otherwise? Only Liu Ziming could come up with such a ridiculous idea. We're in no danger at all here. He's just looking for trouble." Slime Mirror chimed in, actually not wanting to do this kind of work either, since it was just too tiring.

If Liu Ziming heard what these guys were saying, he would definitely be unhappy, since these guys' abilities need to be constantly nurtured.

Although everyone was complaining, they didn't stop working and continued to gradually build up the wall around the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng, because they knew that Liu Ziming must have a reason for doing this. "We've been working for so long, let's take a break. Maybe those guys have already opened up the underground river passage. Drinking the sweet underground river water, what a wonderful feeling that would be!" Cat Angel simply threw her tools aside, plopped down on the ground, and looked particularly helpless.

I raised my eyes and looked at the two creatures, the Slime Mirror and the Seven-Colored Deer, and drew a beautiful vision for them.

"Hehe, don't tell me it's been so long. Those three guys have probably already dug through the underground river and are enjoying the sweet underground river water." That's why people need water and food to survive; these are two indispensable things.

Seeing the expression on the cat angel's face, the seven-colored deer simply put its things on the ground as well, since it was both thirsty and tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Liu Ziming and his two companions had already cleared the passage to the underground river, but the water wasn't rising. They were all trying to come up with a solution. "Boss, although the passage to the underground river has been cleared, the water isn't rising. This won't do," they said.

The two elders knew that they used this underground river water every day, and it would be a real problem if the water didn't rise up on its own.

Liu Ziming thought about it carefully for a while, and then, as if he had figured something out, his expression became incredibly interesting.

"Seniors, why don't we cut down some bamboo poles and use the siphon principle to create an automatic well? That way we can solve our daily drinking water problem." Hearing their eldest brother Liu Ziming say this, the two elders' eyes widened, because they simply couldn't understand what their eldest brother Liu was talking about. What was a siphon?

However, Liu Ziming probably dawdled with them for too long, and simply used the bamboo poles to create a breathing effect for the drinking water, preventing the water from rising. "My goodness, boss, that's amazing! I've never seen such a magical phenomenon before!"

The old Flame Dragon stared wide-eyed at the water flowing naturally from under the bamboo pole, looking utterly astonished.

Even the giant ape elder was overjoyed, constantly fiddling with it, looking at it from left to right, and he seemed to find it particularly amazing.

"Hehe, we've finally succeeded! With both food and drinking water, we can finally set up camp here and stay for a while." Having solved the problems of food and drinking water, Liu Ziming could finally relax for a bit.

The little cat angels were really thirsty and tired. They came over on their own, wanting to see if Liu Ziming and the others had actually opened up the underground passage. "My goodness, you guys actually opened up the underground river passage, and the water has already started flowing up! That's great!"

The cat angel pounced on it and started gulping down water from the bamboo pole, just like an ox drinking water, completely disregarding its image.

The slime mirror stared wide-eyed at the continuously gushing underground river water, because he had never seen such a phenomenon before and could not explain it at all.

It's not that they don't know or understand; it's just that their memories of their previous life have been completely erased.

"How long of a wall did you guys actually weave using the Thousand-Year Ghost Vine? Did you not lift a finger and just slack off?" The eldest, Liu Ziming, asked with a lucky expression as he saw the three little guys.

Because he believed these three little guys could really do it, after all, the Thousand-Year Ghost Vine wasn't very comfortable to hold, with many barbs on it. "What nonsense are you talking about? We just felt a little thirsty sometimes, so we came to see if you had finished your work?" Upon hearing what the eldest, Liu Ziming, said, the Slime Mirror immediately became unhappy, glaring with its eyes wide open, and even had the urge to rush forward.

Cat Angel and Seven-Colored Deer clenched their fists tightly, looking particularly unhappy. If their leader, Liu Ziming, said anything more, they would probably rush forward too.

"Boss, look what that is!"

Just then, the giant ape elder seemed to have discovered something else. His expression was one of great surprise as he pointed at it and spoke to the eldest brother, Liu Ziming.

The others also found it particularly strange. They couldn't even find a ghost in this place, so what else could be so unusual? "My goodness, I never expected to encounter one of my own kind here! This is truly fascinating!"

Liu Ziming actually picked up the two little creatures with his hands; one was black and the other was white—they were clearly two little spiders!

Chapter 441 I'll Raise My Pet

Liu Ziming carefully held the two small spiders in his hands, knowing they were like them, perhaps aliens thrown into the survival game. "What are you doing? Why did you leave these two things behind?"

Upon seeing the two black and white spiders, the slime became somewhat displeased.

He felt that while they could stay in this so-called safe zone, these two little spiders were utterly useless to them, which is why he said that. "Heh, it seems you're overthinking it. Since they're my kind, of course I have to take good care of them. I'll raise my pets, is there anything wrong with that?" Zhao Laoda, Liu Ziming, actually said this, and the slime's expression instantly changed; what he said seemed perfectly reasonable. "Don't blame me for not warning you, these two might be mutated. If they transform into monsters one day, you'll regret it!" Actually, Liu Ziming knew there was a possibility what the slime was saying, but no matter what, he wouldn't give up on these two adorable little spiders.

The giant ape elder looked at the two small spiders Liu Ziming was holding, one black and one white, which looked quite cute, and said nothing more. "Hehe, it's rare to encounter some small animals in this place. Keeping them as pets would be a good option, wouldn't it?"

At this moment, the old Flame Dragon seemed particularly sensible. Seeing how much Liu Ziming loved it, he knew that Liu Ziming would never give it up. Rather than that, he might as well go along with Liu Ziming's wishes.

Regardless of what others said or thought about the two spiders, Liu Ziming refused to give up. After all, encountering one's own kind in this survival game was incredibly rare. "Hehe, look how cute these two little guys are! Let's call the white one 'White,' and the black one 'Ellis,' what do you think?"

Cat Angel and Seven-Colored Deer were completely taken aback when their leader, Liu Ziming, took in two spiders and gave them bizarre names. "Call them whatever you like, it has nothing to do with us. Just these two little things better not bother us, or I won't hold back," Slime Mirror said, still clearly displeased. He didn't have much affection for the two little spiders, hence his words.

But Liu Ziming didn't care what he said. She carried the two spiders back to her residence, no longer caring about the underground river passage or the siphon effect. "Hehe, you two little guys better not crawl around. If that slime mirror guy catches you, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Liu Ziming put two cute little spiders in his room and carefully made a small box, which became the two spiders' new home.

The two little spiders also seemed particularly well-behaved, staying in the box and constantly observing their leader, Liu Ziming, with their little eyes, as if they really had a special connection with him.

"Hehe, you two little ones don't have too many complaints about your living conditions, do you? Even if you do, it's impossible to change much for you now, after all, the conditions here are limited?"

In fact, Liu Ziming had no idea that these two spiders were really like what that guy from the Slime Mirror said, and that they might turn into new alien beasts after some time, but that was a story for another time.

At this moment, the giant ape elder also arrived at the eldest brother Liu Ziming's room. After all, he had taken in a new species, which was a potential threat to everyone. "Elder brother, if these two little things really do become a new species in the future, what do you plan to do with them?"

Upon hearing what the giant ape elder said, Liu Ziming's expression changed rapidly; he had never actually thought about such a question before.

Liu Ziming thought about it carefully for a while. Even if these two little guys really became a new species, he wouldn't care at all.

Because of his powerful control, he possessed such immense confidence. "Climb slowly, Bai, but don't run into my Queen Iris!"

Strangely enough, the two little spiders seemed to understand what Liu Ziming was saying, and kept looking up at him, looking incredibly cute.

Liu Ziming now realized that although he had just discovered these two little creatures, he had already grown quite fond of them. After all, these two little guys seemed to be quite intelligent. "Senior, look at these two little guys! They seem to understand what I'm saying. They're really quite intelligent!"

Hearing the delighted look on his elder brother Liu Ziming's face, the giant ape elder could only shake his head helplessly. After all, these were pets raised by Liu Ziming, and he couldn't say much. "Elder brother, since you treat them as pets, then take good care of them. After all, they are little lives." In this world of strange creatures, the giant ape elder really couldn't do anything, because anything could happen.

Strangely enough, Liu Ziming himself didn't know why, but he felt curious about these two cute little spiders. "You two have fun here, I'm going to make our safe zone a bit more secure?"

Thinking that those three guys from the Slime Mirror probably hadn't woven a longer wall, Liu Ziming still looked a little worried as he went out.

Because he knew that the thousand-year-old ghost vine was no easy thing to deal with; not only was it covered in barbs, but it was also extremely difficult to cut down. "It seems that to speed up the construction of the wall, I really need to expend some of my own energy?"

Seeing that a long section of the wall was still to be completed, Liu Ziming simply used his own energy to cut down some thousand-year-old ghost vines in a very short time. "Boss, why don't you rest for a while, replenish your food, and drink some water? That would be such a wonderful treat!"

Ever since Boss Liu Ziming used the siphon effect to bring the underground river water up, Elder Flame Dragon also had a brilliant idea: he actually used bamboo poles to directly bring the water source here, because he felt it was very necessary. "Hehe, Elder, it seems your mind is really sharp, to be able to think of such a problem?"

Seeing the Flame Dragon Elder working up a sweat, Boss Liu Ziming didn't hold back his praise.

Chapter 442 Evolution is a Little Slow

"Hehe, the reason I did this was entirely for everyone's sake. Although we now have a source of drinking water, it's still inconvenient, isn't it?"

Hearing his boss, Liu Ziming, praising his performance, the Flame Dragon Elder also seemed very happy, grinning from ear to ear, feeling extremely pleased.

In fact, Liu Ziming had thought about this issue long ago. He was quite pleased that the Flame Dragon Elder had thought of it so quickly.

"Hehe, it would be great if everyone could think like this in the future. After all, we need to survive in this place and learn to take care of ourselves. That's the bare minimum." Everyone was originally very happy, but they didn't expect their leader, Liu Ziming, to say such a thing, so their expressions changed constantly.

Because the eldest brother, Liu Ziming, clearly had a specific target in his words, everyone knew what he was talking about, and their expressions were very awkward.

"Hmph, don't think we can't live without you. You act like some big shot all day long. What's so great about you?"

Slime Jing's fiery temper will never change. Seeing his boss Liu Ziming's somewhat arrogant attitude, he felt uncomfortable and directly expressed his inner thoughts.

He didn't care what Liu Ziming thought, because he simply didn't care.

240 "Hehe, little girl, please don't say that. The boss is doing this entirely for our own good. Don't you all understand?"

Upon hearing how arrogantly the Slime Mirror spoke to Boss Liu, the Giant Ape Elder quickly stepped in to smooth things over, not wanting the relationship between these people to become too strained because of this matter.

In fact, Liu Ziming didn't care what the Slime Mirror guy said at all. As long as he could learn to take care of himself, that was enough for Liu Zheman.

"Alright, the Flame Dragon Elder and I have gathered so much from the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng. The remaining task is for everyone to work together to completely weave the walls of this Thousand-Year Ghost Teng."

After all, everyone had been busy for a while, and it was only right to take a break. So Liu Ziming stood up and prepared to return to his residence to check on the two little spiders he had been raising, to see if there had been any changes. "Where are you going, you rascal? Didn't you just say that we should personally weave the wall around the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng?"

Seeing that Liu Ziming had actually stood up and seemed to be leaving (cibj), the slime didn't hesitate at all and grabbed him with his own hand, appearing quite domineering.

Since you're the one who brought this up, it seems only natural that you should be in charge of organizing it.

At least in the mind of this Slime Mirror guy, that's how things should be.

"Hehe, aren't you tired? Take a rest for a while. It shouldn't be too late to weave the Thousand-Year Ghost Teng's wall after we've rested." Hearing Liu Ziming say this, the slime actually let out a long sigh and looked particularly relaxed.

If this guy really continues working at this point, I'm afraid the slime and the little girls really won't be able to handle it. "Hmph, it's a good thing you think that way, otherwise I wouldn't have let you off the hook!"

When Slime Mirror spoke to Liu Ziming, he almost never used a nice tone or attitude, as if he was used to it.

Liu Ziming was already used to the way the slime mirror spoke and his daily behavior, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

Because what he cares about most now is whether the two little spiders he repaired yesterday, one black and one white, have changed at all.
