Chapter 21: The Intruder

For the next period of time, the Ice King City was like a dead city, and there was almost no sound in the whole city, and there was a dead silence.

All the ancient monks and the villagers of Ice Thorn Village were under Lu Xiao's control, desperately absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

A steady stream of aura was fed back to him, and Lu Xiao estimated that the speed of the feedback aura now was about the same as the speed of a person's normal cultivation.

This speed obviously still can't meet Lu Xiao's needs, and the soul core in the sea of consciousness is like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing divine consciousness, but it still makes Lu Xiao feel empty.

Last time, he accidentally summoned the ghost shadow and swallowed the soul of the whole village in one bite, although the soul was strengthened a little, but after that, Lu Xiao tried again, but he was never able to use it.

"This soul devouring technique looks quite simple, but in fact it is very rare. Lu Xiao sighed in his heart, he clearly remembered the moment the ghost appeared, as if his soul was completely connected to another illusory world.

Until now, Lu Xiao couldn't tell what place it was, but there was always an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if it was within reach, but whenever he wanted to explore through his soul, he disappeared.

In the eastern half of the ice field, Lu Xiao has explored almost all of them, and no trace of humans has been found.

He had also wanted to find out if there were any similar ancient monks underground, but the area under this ice field was larger than he had imagined, and even with what he thought was a strong divine sense, the progress of the exploration was very slow.

Before the soul core was completely condensed, Lu Xiao didn't want to consume his divine sense too much, so he simply gave up the investigation, and first borrowed these thousands of ancient monks and people from Ice Thorn Village to make the soul core complete.

Sang Ruo and Kulun were arranged by Lu Xiao on the city wall directly above the city gate, and their wide clothes fluttered in the wind, like two flags.

Lu Xiao looked in the direction of the two of them, and sneered in his heart, these two people had the intention of rebelling before, but unfortunately they became puppets under their own hands before they had time to attack.

On the surrounding city walls, countless runes emitting cold aura flickered, containing faint aura fluctuations, but in this aura, there was a trace of corruption.

In the memory of the ancient monks' inheritance, Lu Xiao found a lot of ancient rune prohibitions, some of which looked very powerful, but unfortunately, with the strength of these ancient monks, they couldn't be arranged at all.

On the city wall, it is just the most basic defensive prohibition, but for some reason, when these ancient monks arranged the prohibition, the aura with the Dao of Silence that had been transformed in their bodies was also integrated into it, making this prohibition not only have the original defensive function, but those who touch it will also be affected by the Dao of Annihilation.

Just as Lu Xiao looked around, ready to continue to calm down and absorb the Divine Sense Condensation Soul Core, he suddenly felt that three thousand miles to the south, many huge creatures seemed to appear out of thin air, gathering together and walking towards the royal city.

If you look closely, those creatures are huge purple spiders!

Each of these spiders is three or four zhang long, and six huge spider legs support the body, which is nearly a foot high.

The number of spiders was no less than a thousand, and they gathered together to form a huge circle, and they were advancing towards the royal city at a rapid speed, bringing gusts of wind as they walked.

Lu Xiao looked intently, and between these purple spiders walking, the ice that was touched by the spider's legs turned purple and black, emitting bursts of black smoke, obviously with great poison on their bodies.

"Where did so many spider ...... come from" Lu Xiao felt strange in his heart, and at the same time summoned the black sword in the sea of consciousness, and his divine sense spread, covering the spider group.

However, the black sword imprint that was invincible before, in the face of these spiders, it had no effect at all, Lu Xiao urged desperately, but it was not easy to make it, those spiders walked as usual, without the slightest influence, the black sword in the sea of knowledge was shining, but it did not condense the imprint.

Finding that the black sword was out of order, Lu Xiao's heart jumped, each of these spiders looked very powerful, and now there were thousands of them, if they attacked this city, with the five thousand ancient monks and hundreds of villagers in the city, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist.

For a while, Lu Xiao's heart was extremely heavy, and he had no time to care about the origin of these spiders, so he quickly controlled everyone in the city to come to the city wall, took out his weapons, and prepared to deal with the attack of the spider swarm.

At the same time, Lu Xiao's divine sense was concentrated in one place, carefully probing a giant spider that was walking in the forefront.

"Huh?" The powerful divine sense almost instantly saw the spider's whole body from the inside out, and in an instant, Lu Xiao seemed to feel that something was missing in the spider's body, but under the investigation, everything was clear in its body as usual, and it could even feel that its body contained a very powerful power.

Lu Xiao probed another giant spider again, and that strange feeling was still there, but this one was clearly normal.

In a short period of time, the spider swarm is less than a thousand miles away from the city, and those spiders can already be vaguely seen on the city with flashing purple eyes, but fortunately, now everyone in the city has lost their souls and is controlled by Lu Xiao, seeing this scene is still a numb look, everything is in accordance with Lu Xiao's instructions.

Seeing that the spider colony was approaching, the first row of spiders raised their two spear-like front legs and stabbed straight at the city wall.

The defensive prohibition on the city wall flashed, and with a slight shaking, more than ten spiders were bounced back and took two steps back, and then, a large number of spiders arrived behind and attacked the city wall one after another.

The legs of these giant spiders were as if they were made of fine iron, and the walls of the city shook uncontrollably, but nothing happened to them, and even the Silent Dao that invaded their bodies was shattered in an instant, dissipating into the air.

Five hundred Ice Thorn villagers held their long swords in their hands, and under Lu Xiao's control, they jumped off the city wall and attacked towards the spider swarm.

If these spiders are allowed to attack, the prohibition on the city wall will soon be destroyed, and Lu Xiao has no choice but to let people go out to fight.

For him, the ancient monk is worth far more than those people in the Ice Thorn Village, so let the people of the Ice Thorn Village go out and test it first.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of villagers stood with the spider swarm, and their long swords slashed at the spiders, making a dull sound, accompanied by a constant strange sound.

When the spider swarm saw the Icethorn villagers coming out, they rushed over in the blink of an eye, surrounding many villagers in the middle, stretching out their long legs and stabbing at each other.

The long sword in the villager's hand struck the spider's leg, splashing a string of sparks, and at the same time, the strange sound in the metal resounded in the sky.

However, these spiders did not react to the sound, and were besieged by these villagers, a trace of annoyance flashed in their cold eyes, and a burst of hissing sound came out of their mouths.

The Icethorn villagers stood in front of the spiders, looking very small, each of them was blind, even though they could not cause damage to the spiders in front of them, they continued to attack each other.

"Bang!" A muffled sound came, and a villager was swept by the spider's front legs, and in an instant, the whole person flew out more than ten zhang away, fell heavily to the ground, and the long sword in his hand was out of his hand.

The man stood up on the ground, his face expressionless, and a terrifying wound appeared on his waist, surrounded by purple light.

The purple light quickly corroded the villagers' bodies, and the wounds quickly expanded.

However, as if he could not feel the pain, the villager rushed forward again empty-handed.

The giant spider's eyes flashed, and its front legs stabbed out like lightning, and the blow pierced through the man's chest!
