Chapter Thirteen: The Cave Falls
An hour later, the four of them returned to the intersection of three stone paths. They all looked frustrated and confused.
The three stone paths have been explored, and no abnormality has been found, only empty stone paths.
Hua Minglan's high mood couldn't help but feel depressed, and she guessed: "Could it be that someone got there first?"
Zhang Zheng glanced at Tan Ying subconsciously, and she was a little confused at this time.
When several people were at a loss what to do, Tan Ying's soft voice sounded, "Why don't we try it separately? I think in the storybook, the protagonist only enters the cave alone."
Although this is a bit ridiculous, there is no other choice at this moment, just treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
However, there are four of them in total, and there are only three stone paths in front of them. What should they do if they are not enough?
Tan Ying spoke again: "This cave was originally discovered by Senior Sister Hua and my cousin. Senior Sister Zhang and I are the worst in cultivation among us. Why don't Senior Sister Zhang and I walk the same path together, as if we are taking care of each other."
"Senior Sister Zhang, do you like it?"
As her name suggests, when her sparkling eyes stare at people expectantly, it is really hard to resist.
Furthermore, what she said makes sense. Senior Sister Hua and Senior Brother Tan discovered this cave, and they should enjoy the opportunity first.
Zhang Zheng thought about it for a while, not wanting to embarrass Senior Sister Hua, and being a little curious about the real purpose of Tan Ying's trip, he agreed.
In this way, the four people were divided into three rows. Senior Sister Hua chose the stone path on the left, Senior Brother Tan entered the right, and Zhang Zheng and Tan Ying chose the stone path in the middle.
Senior Sister Hua and Senior Brother Tan had already entered the stone path. Tan Ying seemed a little unaccustomed to being alone with Zhang Zheng, and timidly said: "Senior Sister, let's go in."
The two of them entered the stone path one after another. Because of the glance when they entered the round gate, Zhang Zheng was a little inexplicably wary of Tan Ying, so she deliberately fell a few steps behind and followed Tan Ying.
The dagger has long been held in his hand, ready to go, and the only Thousand Mile Talisman for escape is held in his left hand in case of emergency.
The three stone paths are not long. When they explored together, they walked on average for about two quarters of an hour per stone path before reaching the end.
By this time, they had been walking for half an hour.
"Junior Sister Tan, there is something strange here."
As soon as Zhang Zheng's warning words came out, Tan Ying, who was walking in front, suddenly let out a scream, then turned around and ran towards her.
Although the stone path was narrow, it was still enough to accommodate three people walking together at the same time. With the vigilance he had always maintained, Zhang Zheng immediately ducked to one side and saw clearly the real culprit who made Tan Ying scream.
A giant spider with jet black body hair standing on end.
The spider was very huge, its body alone was as thick as two adults, not to mention its eight long legs, which made it look particularly cramped in the stone path.
I don’t know when such a huge spider appeared on the stone path, it seemed like it appeared out of nowhere.
Tan Ying and Zhang Zheng were not far away, but in the blink of an eye, Tan Ying ran behind Zhang Zheng.
Spider seemed to have suddenly discovered that there was another person in the stone passage. His red eyes were spinning, and his speed did not slow down, and he rushed towards Zhang Zheng like a cannonball.
Damn it, Zhang Zheng couldn't help complaining. She could tell that the spiritual energy in the spider in front of her was not deep, which meant that its cultivation level should be comparable to hers, and it was in the middle stage of Qi training.
She quickly looked back and saw that Tan Ying had disappeared. He ran so fast, it seemed that he had used a magic weapon to move.
The eight-legged spider was far faster than her, and there was only one Thousand-mile Talisman, so she didn't want to waste it here.
In this case, all we have to do is give it a try.
She stood calmly on the spot, holding the dagger tightly in her right hand, ready for battle.
The spider obviously didn't pay attention to her as a little bug, and pounced on her with its body, its mouthparts wide open, and its sharp, thorn-like teeth that were terrifyingly cold, trying to bite off her head.
At this time, hit the snake seven inches, and the spider's weak points are its eyes and abdomen.
Zhang Zheng seized the right opportunity, and when the spider leaped into the air, he executed the Light Body Technique and flew under its abdomen. The sharp dagger was powerful and stabbed into the spider's abdomen fiercely.
"Chi—", the spider neighed in pain. It was indeed a second-level high-grade magic weapon. It easily pierced the soft armor covering the surface of its abdomen, drawing blood dripping from it.
It was completely angered. It crawled beside the stone wall and curled up its bleeding belly. Its red eyes turned crazy and stared at Zhang Zheng. However, when it saw the cold light dagger in Zhang Zheng's hand, it flashed.
Too much fear.
The limbs of the claws were dormant, the fangs in the mouthparts were open, and the snow-white spider silk was overwhelming, forming an airtight spider web and rushing toward Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng immediately made a secret, and seven or eight fist-sized fireballs appeared out of thin air and met the spider web.
There was a sizzling sound like a barbecue coming from the connection between the fireball and the spider web, and black smoke arose. The fireball was extinguished, and only a hole was burnt out of the spider web, which spread out towards her without slowing down.
Zhang Zheng stood motionless on the spot. The moment the spider web touched his body, he exited the spell and a wall of fire as tall as a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
A big hole was burnt out of the spider web, which fell to the ground in ruins. Dense pits were corroded wherever it touched the ground.
Taking advantage of the spider's dazed moment, Zhang Zheng took the initiative and launched two fireballs the size of a human head, shooting directly at the spider's cephalothorax where the eyes were.
The fireball was as bright as the hanging sun. The spider had seen the power of the fireball and did not dare to confront it head-on. He quickly jumped to the right to avoid it.
Zhang Zheng, who had already used the Invisibility Talisman under the cover of the fireball, was already waiting for the opportunity. When the spider thought it had avoided the fireball and relaxed, she poured all the remaining spiritual power into the dagger, aimed at the position, and fiercely pointed at it.
Cut off the joint between the spider's head and chest.
The dagger's body's aura surged, and the dazzling bright blue light was like the sharp and sharp energy of the blade.
The spider's horrified gaze froze, and as its head fell to the ground, blood spurted out.
Finally died.
Zhang Zheng, who had exhausted his spiritual energy, felt uncomfortable all over and felt sour and empty. He kicked the limp body on the ground as if to vent his anger.
The smell of blood here is strong. I wonder if one or two monsters will suddenly appear from the darkness, or if Tan Ying, who escaped earlier, will suddenly return. Zhang Zheng, who is not sure of his purpose, dare not bet his life on her.
Not daring to waste any more time, Zhang Zheng hurriedly took out the Spirit Replenishing Pill and drank it before the Hidden Breath Talisman expired, and immediately meditated to restore her spiritual power. At the same time, she did not dare to be completely immersed in it, and she used a trace of consciousness to watch the surroundings.
environment.
Fortunately, half an hour later, the spiritual power in Zhang Zheng's body had recovered by eight points, and no trouble occurred during this period.
With his safety assured, Zhang Zheng took out his dagger and disposed of the spider's corpse. During the Qi refining period, the demon beast's body had not yet produced such rare things as the demon pill, but its fangs, poison glands and spider silk in its abdomen were all for sale.
Zhang Zheng cleaned up all the materials and put them into storage bags.
Huh?
Zhang Zheng had just placed his fangs when he suddenly noticed that the monster's left eye was still as red as blood. Logically speaking, the luster in the eyes of living creatures would dim after death, but this spider's left eye was a bit strange.
No matter what it is, put it in the storage bag first.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Zheng cut out the eyeballs with a knife, held it in his hand and looked at it for a moment.
As soon as the body was disposed of, the stone path suddenly began to shake. The turmoil became more and more violent. The two stone walls had begun to crack, and dirt and gravel fell from time to time.
Although he didn't know what happened, Zhang Zheng didn't want to be buried alive here, so he made the immediate decision to activate the Qianli Talisman.
The next moment, her figure appeared outside the huge stone round door.
It was extremely peaceful here, and there was no vibration in the cave at all.
Zhang Zheng used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding area for several miles. There was no sign of anyone moving, and the other three people had not come out yet.
Not knowing whether they were trapped inside or had encountered something unexpected, Zhang Zheng frowned and tried to enter the round door again, but unexpectedly found that they were blocked outside.
Now she can only wait. If no one shows up for an hour, she has no choice but to leave. After all, she doesn't know if anything will happen here.
Just as Zhang Zheng took two steps back, the round door suddenly appeared, and a figure fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Tan Ying!
The aura did not disappear, but became brighter and brighter, and bursts of rumblings came from the boulder. The aura gradually dimmed, and the boulder had completely collapsed and was annihilated into dust.
