Dragon's Origin

Wang Sheng was completely unaware of this, and not just Wang Sheng, very few people in the entire world knew about it. The destruction of a hidden family and a hidden sect didn't even cause a ripple. Only a few lines were recorded in the core database of certain forces, and the family library gained some secret manuals. Then, all traces of their existence vanished.

Everything was for the sake of sufficient profit. The only reason Wang Sheng hasn't been discovered yet is because of his origins. If anyone were to find out which hidden sect he came from and locate that sect, Wang Sheng's ending would likely be no better than theirs.

Throughout the entire event, only Elder Wang guessed some clues, but he wasn't completely sure. Unfortunately, by the time he fully understood, the enemy was already at the gates, and he was powerless to turn the tide.

As soon as the Creation Pill's recipe was released, it became a hot commodity. Countless people were willing to pay a high price to buy it. Countless alchemists began to study and research it.

Unfortunately, some of the ingredients were extremely precious. Even the imperial palace and various major families couldn't find many of them, which led to the Creation Pill remaining a highly sought-after but unattainable divine medicine, never becoming a common item.

Wang Sheng was unaware of these events and didn't pay attention to them. He was currently in a safe place in the Thousand Absolutes Land, carefully crafting a trap.

Wang Sheng had obtained the information about the punished Elder Dai from the assassin's hall. According to public information, the elder named Dai Wuji was already a sixth-level expert two years ago. No one knew what his cultivation level was two years later. He might still be at the sixth level, or he might have reached the seventh level.

Wang Sheng hadn't seen many other experts, but he had witnessed Han Bingli and the shadow eunuch in action. The power they displayed made Wang Sheng extremely wary. Wang Sheng even suspected that he might not be able to do anything to them even with a sniper rifle.

This was a高手's intuition, and not only did Wang Sheng have this suspicion, but even the combat awareness figure felt the same way. Wang Sheng had considered using a stronger longbow to shoot arrows similar to sniper rifle bullets at Shadow and Han Bingli in the arc space, but the simulated results were a complete failure, proving useless.

Wang Sheng was certain that the sniper rifle was still effective against fifth-level experts, but it was completely meaningless against higher-level experts. This made him even more eager to improve his own strength.

Since he wasn't sure if the sniper rifle would work and was also afraid of alarming Dai Wuji and causing him to be more cautious, Wang Sheng only used the sniper rifle as a last resort. To deal with a guy who was possibly a seventh-level expert, Wang Sheng had to think of other ways.

The trap he was setting up was one of the methods Wang Sheng planned to use.

It was an undeniable fact that there were many powerful demonic beasts in the Thousand Absolutes Land. Many people thought that the reason experts who entered never came out was because of these powerful demonic beasts. In fact, they overlooked many things.

For example, flesh-eating ants, flesh-eating fish, killer bees, and other formidable creatures that might not be individually powerful but were numerous and dared to attack even the most powerful demonic beasts.

In addition, the Thousand Absolutes Land had many silent and invisible killers. Leeches in the water, seemingly harmless poisonous plants, or small insects that experts wouldn't even glance at.

Wang Sheng had his eye on a type of insignificant spider. The last time he passed through the Thousand Absolutes Land, the combat awareness figure had frantically warned him, but Wang Sheng couldn't find the source of the danger. Later, he discovered it was a spider only the size of a soybean.

That spider was so inconspicuous that it was impossible to see it when it was lying on the ground or on a dead branch. However, Wang Sheng personally witnessed the entire process of a venomous snake being completely paralyzed after being bitten by that small spider.

The spider's venom left a deep impression on Wang Sheng, as did its attack speed. The small spider had been lying still at first, but suddenly it jumped onto the snake's back with lightning speed. Even with Wang Sheng's enhanced vision at the time, he couldn't see the process clearly, only the result.

The snake's grade wasn't low, and although its scales weren't as exaggerated as the Thousand Illusion Poisonous Serpent, they were definitely not ordinary. Wang Sheng had even tried to shoot through the snake skin with ordinary arrows, but failed. However, it was paralyzed by such a small spider bite, which showed the spider's toxicity and biting ability.

Extremely fast, highly poisonous, and excellent biting ability, this spider was simply perfect. The only problem was how to capture it alive.

The spider was very weak, and it was very easy to kill it as long as you were careful not to get bitten. But capturing it alive was much more difficult. At least for the people of this world, it was quite difficult. But for Wang Sheng, there were ways to think about it.

People in this world definitely wouldn't know that when spiders are in a place with a high concentration of carbon dioxide, their mobility will be reduced or even paralyzed. On Earth, when spider silk needs to be extracted, carbon dioxide is used to paralyze the spider and then fix it to the silk extraction device.

The kind of spider Wang Sheng chose liked to stay in dark corners, and its alert range wasn't very large, only a few dozen centimeters. Wang Sheng carefully occupied a high point outside the spider's alert range and began to take out the things he had prepared.

A large bottle of vinegar and a little lime. He simply used leaves and bark to make a gas-conducting trumpet tube, which he covered over the mouth of the bottle, and then put the lime into the vinegar bottle.

Acetic acid reacts with calcium carbonate to produce calcium acetate and carbon dioxide. This not-so-pure carbon dioxide slowly blew towards the top of the spider along the gas-conducting bark tube.

At first, the spider didn't react, but after a while, Wang Sheng saw the small spider lying on the branch fall to the ground.

The prepared breathable bamboo tube, plus a small brush made of hard grass, was extended over, and Wang Sheng easily swept the paralyzed spider into the bamboo tube.

He sealed the opening, and then Wang Sheng put this small bamboo tube into another breathable large bamboo tube. There were already a few insects in the small bamboo tube, enough for the small spider to eat for a while.

After doing all this, Wang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and put the large bamboo tube into his package for separate storage. This would be a trump card to deal with Dai Wuji, and he would just have to see how to set up an ambush at that time.

After identifying the direction, Wang Sheng headed straight for the Dai family's territory. When he asked Sister Rose in the assassin's hall, many people heard Wang Sheng's goal, and maybe the Dai family was already prepared, waiting for Wang Sheng to walk right into their trap.
