I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

As Old Ke and his group approached Murphy's Cave, they saw a truck speeding towards them.

Old Ke and Ye had never seen this thing before, and they immediately took a few steps back, clearly about to do something.

Seeing this, Sri quickly reached out to stop him.

"Hey, you two calm down, this is a truck built by Mr. Murphy."

"A car? How is that possible? I didn't see anything pulling it."

Ye retorted.

As a Vatican official who was older and more conservative than Cleric, he spent most of his time in the church and rarely went out.

The era he actually lived in belonged to the enlightenment stage of a new era for humanity, when even magical artifacts that could fly were extremely rare.

These strange and unusual concepts were naturally not in their minds.

"Times are changing! You old man."

Old Ke patted Ye on the shoulder heavily and gave him earnest advice.

Ye frowned, but only rolled her eyes.

"I know...you just keep nagging~"

"If you keep acting like a slut, I'll slap you so hard you'll fall to the ground."

Old Ke was somewhat taken aback by this expression and tone.

Who could stand it when Old Deng, who had taught you for most of his life and was like a father to you, spoke to you with this attitude?

Ye's expression instantly fell, she pursed her lips, turned away, and ignored Old Ke.

He then put his hands behind his back, stood on tiptoe, and stared intently at the trucks that were constantly approaching in the distance.

Lynn, who was driving the truck, also saw the three of them. He slowed down as he approached and stopped right in front of them before getting out of the truck.

"Are Mr. K and Mr. Sray going to Mr. Murphy's place?"

After asking his question, Lynn's gaze fell on the blonde beauty beside him who was smiling, bending over, and looking at him with slightly narrowed eyes. He immediately stopped in his tracks.

Then his face turned red quickly, and he shook his head violently.

He immediately realized that he had probably fallen under some kind of spell or bewitching technique.

He slapped his cheeks hard, took a deep breath, and then asked.

"May I ask who this is?"

"You can just call him Ye, he's a man."

Lynn was speechless for a moment, his throat tightening before he forced himself to ignore what he wanted to complain about and got down to business.

"Mr. Murphy is making some big moves, so please be careful if you go there."

"A big commotion?" Ye asked, tilting his head.

However, Lynn really didn't want to talk to this thing anymore, so he got into the car as if fleeing and ran out in a panic.

"Eh..."

Seeing this, Ye reached out to try and stop the truck, but it disappeared in a flash.

Ultimately, it could only linger in the air for a short while before drooping down helplessly.

"I just wanted to ask him what it felt like to drive this car... Was it really necessary for him to be so afraid of me?"

"Ha, serves you right."

Old Ke chuckled and then ignored the dejected Ye, leaving first.

However, when the group arrived at Murphy's cave, they did not find anything particularly unusual.

There were only a few clanging and powerful forging sounds, probably Murphy making something.

Ye glanced at the cave, then looked around curiously.

"Is this really where the stone men live? It feels more like a place inhabited by dwarves."

"Dwarves aren't this clean, and... the facilities here are so high up, they have to stack themselves up to use them."

When Old Ke heard Ye mention the dwarves, he immediately became interested and casually made a disparaging remark.

"Ah, that's true." Ye nodded.

Although the Papacy and the dwarves were not exactly enemies, their differences in thinking made their relationship far from friendly.

It's common for them to exchange a few disparaging remarks from time to time.

Siri didn't join their slanderous remarks, but instead stepped into the cave first, but as soon as he entered...

With a faint, rustling sound coming from somewhere, Sri suddenly realized.

Spiders kept crawling out from the cave walls.

They were densely packed together, overlapping each other so tightly that almost no gaps could be seen.

Countless green eyes were fixed on the three people at the cave entrance.

The two people who had been slandering the dwarves at the door stopped abruptly upon seeing this scene.

"Are you sure this place belongs to the stone men, and not your old flame?"

Although Ye's thinking is somewhat old-fashioned.

But which of those who emerged from his era didn't survive amidst numerous crises?

So he wasn't panicked at all, and even joked with Old Ke in his spare time.

When Lao Ke heard the words "old flame," he glanced at Ye and said with a subtle expression.

"Come on, their spiders are almost all dead from all the abuse, only a handful are left. How could there be so many?"

The spider queen is often the only intelligent creature in a spider colony.

However, when there is only one intelligent being in a group,

Often, those who are not intelligent are simply used as tools, with no regard for their life or death.

The queen of the cave spider is an example of this.

When he had nothing better to do, he liked to pull off some big stunts. When Old Ke heard about this kind of spider,

Some people suspect that the Spider Queen made it impossible for these spiders to survive, forcing them to flee here.

That's why it was suddenly brought up at that time.

However, Siri, who was observing more carefully from the front, suddenly spoke up.

"These spiders all seem to be dead, as if they were being controlled by something."

Ye also went up and took a closer look, and came to the same conclusion as Siri.

"Hmm? It really is, but it doesn't seem like the methods of a necromancer."

Old Ke curled his lip and said disdainfully.

"This is definitely a big project orchestrated by Mr. Murphy; he must have his reasons for doing it."

"That's true."

Looking at the sky full of spiders, Sridharma finally uttered this one sentence before making a suggestion.

"It should be over there in the desert, shall we go take a look?"

Old Ke immediately agreed and strode off, with Sri naturally following closely behind.

So the three of them ignored the spider and walked from the tunnel to the desert.

"Why are you here?"

Murphy had already sensed someone's approaching thanks to the spider's warning, so he stopped what he was doing and asked.

"I'd like to talk to you about something. I hope I haven't bothered you?"

"Sri said respectfully."

However, Murphy showed absolutely no mercy.

"Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, it went back to what it was doing—Murphy was engraving runes on an unknown creature that looked like a cave spider but was several times larger than its adult form.

Siri could only laugh awkwardly, knowing Murphy's personality, so he didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he looked around and saw a large, completely black cube placed not far away, and next to the large cube...

It was filled with ice crystals and spider eggs.

Of course, there was also the car he failed to retrieve.

Then, his gaze fell on the spider that Murphy was fiddling with.

The three of them remained silent in tacit agreement until Murphy finished his task.

Old Ke could no longer contain his curiosity and spoke up.

"Brother Fei, there are so many small spiders outside, and then there's a big one inside. It seems there are two more in Mr. Goblu's cave. What are you up to?"

For some reason, he started addressing her as "Brother Fei," and his tone became strangely familiar.

"Planting machines."

"A planting machine? You mean this big thing?"

Ye pinched his face and walked around the giant spider two or three times, looking completely bewildered.

But no matter how you look at it, you can't see what this has to do with planting.

"Spiders are all planting machines."

With a thought, Murphy summoned all the spiders that were controlled by the ice crystals.

After making way for the swarm of spiders, Sri was also somewhat bewildered.

"All of them?"

He didn't consider himself to be a person with a poor imagination.

But telling him that so many spiders of all sizes were used for planting was really a bit strange.

"How do I plant this?"

"It can't be planted." But Murphy's answer was even more bizarre.

"Isn't this a planting machine?"

Ye didn't understand Murphy's line of thinking either, so he asked a question.

"It's a planting machine."

"Can you grow things there?"

"No." Murphy shook her head.

"What can it be used for?" Ye blinked in confusion, still asking bluntly.

"They should be able to do everything except planting."

"So what's this thing called?"

"Planting machine"

Ye pursed her lips and fell silent, her hand still occasionally pinching her face, her expression subtly strange and complex.

He turned back to look at Old Ke and Siri with a helpless expression, hoping to get something out of them.

But all he got in return were two equally confused looks.

Murphy looked at the strange-looking corpse in front of him, his eyes filled with worry.

Why is there another idiot here?

"So why is this thing called a planting machine?" Ip Man

Murphy: (¬_¬)

"Because they are parts of the planting machine, they are incomplete, so they cannot be planted."

After saying that, Murphy patted Ye's head reassuringly, then turned and left.

It is now ready to complete the final step of this planting machine.
