Chapter 17: Looting Zheng Yueling's House
After leaving Zheng Yueling's house, Bai Jie walked around the Beicheng Huayuan community, being very careful and not showing his presence in front of people.
After all, his current size is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Once discovered by residents, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
He doesn't want to live a life of hiding and stealing, and there are reasons why he must stay in this community temporarily.
Although Bai Jie doesn't want to attract human attention, in fact, he has already become a popular reptile pet on the Internet after defeating the Five Poisons.
Thanks to the spread of self-media and the distribution of short video platforms, not only has the number of fans of "Nyx, the Goddess of the Night" formed a considerable scale.
In addition, a trend of raising reptile pets has been set off throughout the Federation.
Among them, there are reptiles that have died in large numbers due to irresponsible breeding by humans on a whim, and there are also cases where humans have been injured or even killed by reptiles due to unprofessional breeding methods.
The sentiment on the Internet can be described as love and fear of reptiles.
It is worth mentioning that due to Bai Jie's rapid growth and abnormal evolution, the discussion about the long-lost witchcraft and poisonous insects has once again become popular.
Bai Jie hid in the half-human-high vegetation in the community, wandering around and thinking.
Now there are three things to do.
First, find a way to tell Chen Zhang that he is fine for the time being, and the abnormal relationship between Zheng Yueling and the Criminal Investigation Department.
But he must not reveal that he was reincarnated as a spider. It feels too ridiculous. Who would believe it if he told it out?
And he didn't want to appear in front of Chen Zhang in this face.
Second, monitor and investigate Zheng Yueling to find the truth and murderer behind the continuous disappearance cases.
Third, continue to swallow poison, improve your vitality, evolve as soon as possible, and move towards the goal of transformation.
Bai Jie is a little worried. If he is extremely ugly after transformation, he might as well be a spider...
"Woof! Woof!"
Suddenly, a dog barked, and Bai Jie looked at it in shame.
Sure enough, a tall Alaskan sled dog was barking at the bush where Bai Jie was hiding.
Woof! So noisy!
It would be great if I had the skill to make the other party run away with their tails between their legs with just a glance.
Bai Jie had thought about eating dog meat, but dog meat cannot be converted into life points because it is not poisonous. It can only be used as an emergency food to increase satiety.
If a dog bites you, you can't bite it back, right? It's too embarrassing!
Bai Jie still retains the thinking of a human being in his subconscious and conscious mind.
Humph, you can bark if you want, I won't bother with you.
Bai Jie decided to follow his spider instinct, find a tree, weave a nest, and wait until he settles down before taking the next step.
The nest must first be able to see the door of Zheng Yueling's house and understand her daily in and out.
Secondly, it must be high, deep, and hidden.
The greening work in this community is well done, and Bai Jie quickly confirmed the location of his nest.
About half an hour later, Bai Jie had woven a spider web on the top of a dense tree.
A dense spider web spread horizontally, connecting branches of varying thickness, like a hammock, with a diameter of 3 meters, wider than the largest breeding box in Zheng Yueling's home.
At the same time, Bai Jie also arranged hundreds of spider silks around the old nest (hammock) in a crisscross pattern to serve as a cordon for sensing foreign invasion.
"It's great. I feel a sense of accomplishment after decorating my own home."
"Isn't this ten times more comfortable and comfortable than that witch's box?"
Bai Jie lay on his belly, staring at the deep night sky.
"It seems that the witch won't go out today. As soon as she goes out tomorrow, I will go to clean up the poison in her house."
The reason why he didn't choose to take action when he controlled Zheng Yueling this afternoon was that he had just evolved and was still a little weak.
Second, he felt that the witch might have some tricks that he hadn't used.
Third, he was afraid that he would fall asleep after swallowing the poison, and then he would be at the mercy of others.
......
The next day.
After confirming that Zheng Yueling had left the community, Bai Jie sneaked into the familiar house again, which was considered his second visit.
The large and small breeding boxes and poisonous creatures were still in the living room.
Bai Jie came to a box containing an emperor scorpion and easily opened the lid with his forelegs with sharp blades.
Next, it was naturally the hunting time.
Either use poison arrows to poison the target to death, or use foot blades to cut and sharp spider silk to cut the opponent into pieces, or directly use the skill of bite with the mouth.
Bai Jie found that among these skills, the most labor-saving and efficient one was foot blade cutting.
"My cold weapons are really useful."
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the poisonous creatures in the living room had been executed by Bai Jie, about thirty of them.
There were still some non-toxic reptiles left in the living room, such as corn snakes and small insects used as food.
Having solved so many poisonous creatures by himself, Bai Jie couldn't help but sigh again at Zheng Yueling's wealth and willfulness.
You know, during the previous live broadcast, there were basically losses caused by the death of poisonous insects every day, so Bai Jie also saw Zheng Yueling replenish the poisonous insect inventory once, which shows that Zheng Yueling has strong financial resources.
After the death of thirty poisonous creatures, Bai Jie did not choose to swallow them immediately.
Instead, he wrapped the poisonous insect corpses that had been injected with corrosive poisons layer by layer with spider silk, just like sealing express parcels, and then bundled the small packages into a large package, and then carried them to his own nest.
After seven or eight trips, everything was finally emptied.
Bai Jie's physical strength was also depleted, and his satiety dropped to 58% - because he had not eaten much since he escaped yesterday.
So, Bai Jie set his sights on the still-living cicada pupa...
After a meal, his satiety barely increased to 70%.
Satisfied, Bai Jie decided to digest his food and searched Zheng Yueling's bedroom carefully.
He opened a drawer, and the key was still inside.
Although Bai Jie had eight legs and a pair of pedipalps, it was still awkward and difficult for him to unlock it with a key.
It took a lot of effort to open the secret door behind the closet, and there was a secret room inside.
He had found Ah Xiao in it, and was blocked by the detectives of the Criminal Investigation Department.
He looked inside, but found nothing with his perception.
Suddenly, a mechanical and emotionless voice sounded, and a line of characters appeared in front of him at the same time:
[A weak spiritual reaction was sensed, and the target location is being searched...]
What's going on? Bai Jie suddenly became alert.
[Search completed]
In Bai Jie's perception, a strange, yet sacred and pure breath suddenly appeared.
He looked at the corner of the secret room, his eyes and mind were fully focused, and a metal box the size of a bedside cabinet appeared in the darkness.
Strangely, when Bai Jie's eyes fell on the box, the box suddenly emitted a pink and purple light as if it had sensed it.
"This is..."
Bai Jie came to the box and wanted to open it, but found that it was locked with a password.
I must open it, I need it! This thought quickly occupied Bai Jie's mind like a weed growing wildly.
However, before Bai Jie could do anything, the box opened automatically.
No, it should be said that it was stretched open from the inside by a pink and purple halo, which might be more appropriate.
Because the box had just opened a crack, the pink and purple light quickly wrapped around Bai Jie, flowing lightly around him, as if he had found his owner's pet and was acting like a spoiled child.
The moment Bai Jie saw the objects in the box, he seemed to be struck by lightning and froze in place, unable to move.
