Chapter 26: Silent Hill
The scraps of the black spider fluttered in the wind like a puff of smoke.
"Two senior brothers, I seem to have found a clue to the elixir!" Mu Wei took a deep breath and thought for thought.
"Senior Brother Mu Wei, how do you say this?"
"There seemed to be a hint of sinister aura in the spider fragments. I once overheard that this spider is called a miasma, and in order to enhance its own toxicity, miasma will actively cultivate a poisonous flower. Every once in a while, they have to suck the toxins out of the flowers. This poisonous flower is called Spider Heart Grass, which is a rare elixir that is of great help in improving the cultivation of immortal cultivators. Mu Wei patiently explained.
"Is there really that kind of elixir?Where does that kind of elixir usually grow?" Hearing Mu Wei's explanation, Li Zhilu and Chen Fuhai both showed yearning expressions.
"The spider grass does not grow on the earth, but on the back of the spider king, and the root system of the elixir extends directly into the heart of the spider king to absorb the nutrients needed for growth. This is also the origin of the name of this elixir. ”
"And how can we find the Spider King, and how can we gather the Spider Heartweed?"
"To find the cobweb, you need to go to the place where the webs are most dense. But the two senior brothers, the spider king who cultivated the spider grass is extremely fierce and carries a lot of poison, and even the spider's web can emit some poisonous miasma. If you want to collect spider grass, you have to take a lot of risks. ”
Mu Wei is right.
In the depths of this dense forest, a human-faced spider king as big as a calf was lying lazily on a huge silk web, and on its back, a scarlet three-leaf demon flower bloomed brilliantly, emitting a fishy smell. And on this human-faced spider king's body, there are faint spiritual power fluctuations, which seem to be about the same as the realm of the middle stage of the human immortal cultivator's forging vein.
The path of cultivating immortals will never be peaceful, and the experience is to deliberately put yourself in a dangerous situation, put yourself in a dead place and be reborn after life, so as to improve your cultivation and ability. The four of them understood the truth, and with almost no hesitation, they made up their minds to find the Spider King.
Moreover, in the hearts of Li Zhilu and Chen Fuhai, even if they are the Spider King, they are always a kind of spider, what kind of waves can they make in front of the immortal cultivators? The cultivation of the two of them for five weeks is not low, and they have already cultivated a variety of exercises, even if they can't collect the elixir, there is always no problem in self-preservation. Even, even Yuan Wei, who had only cultivated the only technique of transforming the dragon, took it for granted.
After a long time of continuing to walk forward for a stick of incense, the entire dense forest was almost a world of spider webs, and the spider silk was even thicker, already faintly the thickness of an adult's little finger.
On the spider web, there were a few spiders the size of a human head lying on their stomachs, and Li Zhilu held an axe and roared at them in a low voice, but it had no effect. Fortunately, the spiders are lazy and motionless.
After a few dozen feet of progress, the dense forest became even darker, and the entire forest was covered with layers of cobwebs, which were dotted with fallen leaves, animal corpses, and cocoons of different sizes, forming a black canopy, and the air was also mixed with a viscous, pungent miasma.
Chen Fuhai held his spirit wheel high above his head, and a cold lilac light emitted, and it was clear within a radius of more than ten zhang.
A few people looked around, in addition to the cobwebs that could be seen everywhere, there were more white cocoon bags hanging from spider silk in mid-air, some spherical, some oval duck egg shapes, different sizes, pulled by spider silk high and low hanging in the air.
Li Zhilu used a sharp axe to cut open a package around him, and a white skeleton spilled out, looking like a monkey, which had already been melted by the spider and sucked all the flesh and blood.
"The spider's nest is probably nearby, and when I encounter the Spider King, I will attack it from the front, and Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Mu will echo on the left and right. After Senior Brother Yuanwei is broken, your move is too domineering, don't smash the Spider King!" Li Zhilu assigned his personal task in a low voice. Among these people, his cultivation was the highest and the oldest, and he vaguely became the soul leader of the entire team.
"Squeak Squeak"
An unknown bird cry came from the sky, as if it had inadvertently broken into the cobweb array, the surrounding cobwebs trembled, and countless reptiles were heard in the darkness crawling quickly towards the source of the sound, which was dense and terrifying.
"Keep walking!" Li Zhilu ordered.
"Stop!" Almost at the same time, Motoo suddenly whispered a warning, "The Spider King has spotted us, and a large number of spiders are rushing in front of us. Those spiders are very violent, they can't let go of all the creatures that break into their chassis!"
"Then kill!" Li Zhilu shouted.
The spiritual power frantically poured into the giant axe, and the whole body of the giant axe emitted a faint red halo, and Li Zhilu was full of pride and took the lead in rushing forward.
The spiders that flew over were much larger, and a few of them even faintly surpassed the common mountain wolves, they either climbed on the spider silk, or hid in the dead leaves, without exception, they spit out the spider silk while rushing, in a vain attempt to bind Motowei and the others.
"Don't get touched by that spider silk, it's poisonous!" Mu Wei reminded.
"Shield!" Li Zhilu picked up the giant axe, and the red light and shadow turned into a huge shield-shaped barrier, and those spider silks shattered into powder when they touched it.
Chen Fuhai in the back sacrificed the spirit wheel and slashed down from the top of his head, "Gravel strike!"
Hundreds of bowl-sized pieces of rubble fell from the sky, more than half of the spiders were smashed into pulp, and the rest were knocked to the ground and struggled desperately.
Not to be outdone, Mu Wei waved his wooden staff, "Thorn Thorn!"
Dense needle suddenly burst out around those spiders, and many spiders were stabbed and died of black poisoning.
The originally dense cobwebs in the sky were smashed out of many holes by the rubble, and a few rays of sunlight spilled down, reminding Motoo and the others that although it was dark around, it was actually still noon.
Looking at the spider corpse on the ground, Li Zhilu withdrew his spiritual power and dispersed his protection, "We cooperate very well!
This battle gave the four strong confidence, and they did not hesitate to continue to move forward.
The same spider swarm, they encountered four waves, all of them had a thrilling time, even if the tail of the yuan, in the end, there was a chance to make a move, and the dragon trick roared out, and those spiders couldn't resist it at all. After these four waves of battle, the cooperation of the four people became more proficient, but the spiritual power was consumed a lot, and the faces of the four people were pale to varying degrees.
"Let's take a break, everyone's spiritual power consumption is too great!" Li Zhilu proposed that in these four battles, his consumption was the largest, and his giant axe was a power-type weapon, so the high-intensity spiritual power output made him a little unbearable.
Before the other three could agree, a wrist-thick rope suddenly hung down from the dark canopy, wrapped around Chen Fuhai's body a few times and then pulled straight into the sky, and the light emitted by his spirit wheel was like a meteor, quickly disappearing into the cobweb canopy.
"Help me!"
"Chase!"
The three of them didn't care about resting, and hurriedly stepped on the spirit feather and took off to chase after them.
"Senior Brother Yuanwei, quickly blast out a path, be careful not to hurt Senior Brother Chen!"
Yuanwei raised the snake staff high, and continued to blast out the dragon shadow in the direction where Chen Fuhai disappeared, but fortunately, after several battles, this dragon duel has been used handy.
Li Zhilu chased quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already come to the source of the spider silk: a huge web of tens of zhang in size woven from gray spider silk with the thickness of his wrist. In the middle of the giant web, a huge human-faced spider king held a human-shaped cocoon bag with its front paws, it squinted at the three people who were chasing after it in the air, and without any scruples, it stabbed the two knife-shaped claws into the cocoon bag, and Chen Fuhai's scream came from the cocoon bag.
Li Zhilu had a good friendship with Chen Fuhai, and when he saw Chen Fuhai being slaughtered in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but shout angrily and swing an axe to cut down.
The head of the human-faced spider king was like that of a black fat middle-aged man, and his eyebrows were full of disdain. The whole body was like a strong calf, eight feet and two feet, it was entrenched on the spider web, one long foot grabbed the spider silk and shook it gently, the spider silk carried a pungent stench.
Li Zhilu had to retreat and dodge.
Motoo Mu Wei naturally saw that such an opponent couldn't get close at all.
"Turning into a dragon!" the dragon shadow roared and pounced on the Spider King, a trace of solemnity flashed in the Spider King's eyes, he casually threw the cocoon bag away, and the cocoon bag wrapped in Zhao Fuhai hung on a spider silk and swung into the distance.
"Senior Brother Mu is going to save Senior Brother Zhao!" Li Zhilu shouted, taking the opportunity to rush forward again.
The Spider King opened his mouth, and a spider silk came to him, and Yuan Wei saw it clearly, and hurriedly smashed it again.
Li Zhilu was unobstructed, and took off to slash his giant axe into the Spider King.
There was a loud bang, and the web woven by the spider silk could not withstand the powerful impact, and the spider king fell to the ground and the dead leaves.
Before the Spider King could roll over and climb up, several long vines suddenly emerged from the ground, binding them tightly into a ball. It turned out that Mu Wei grabbed the cocoon bag and cast his own exercises.
Seeing Li Zhilu's giant axe swing, Mu Wei hurriedly persuaded him: "Take the elixir first!"
The spider king was tightly bound by vines, and his feet were kicked around, but his body was motionless. Mu Wei took out a small medicine shovel, carefully turned over the flesh on the back of the Spider King, and dug out the spider heart grass and handed it to Li Zhilu.
As the spider grass was dug up by the wood fennel, the huge body of the spider king quickly withered, and in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be a pile of dry bones.
"Senior Brother Li, this elixir will be handed over to you for safekeeping. It's a pity that the growth environment of this medicinal herb is too special, and there is no way to cultivate it in large quantities..."
With the elixir in hand, all the dangers just now have paid off, and Li Zhilu has a smile on his face.
Chen was finally saved, but the two wounds on his chest almost ran through his chest and back, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fully recover in a few months.
After obtaining the elixir and experiencing actual combat, the purpose of going out this time was achieved, and Li Zhilu had a plan to go back.
