1388 Spiders
It was exactly as Jiang Chen had thought. He wasn’t the only person who had seen the mirage.
At least 80 percent of the people in the ancient ruins had witnessed this impressive sight. They had seen the magnificent battle, and it wasn’t only Jiang Chen who had discerned the Extreme Martial Techniques.
Moreover, there were many of them like Jiang Chen who wanted to get the Extreme Martial Techniques.
“I want an Extreme Martial Technique.”
There was a man standing near a river, while clasping his hands behind his back. He wore a haughty expression, and he looked in the direction of the place where the mirage had appeared.
There was a giant beast, with its body laid out across several hundred miles, near the man’s feet. This was a Blackwater Python, and it was lying in the mud. It had died long ago even though it had just a single wound.
A Doctrine Sword shining with a black light was stuck in the ground, and it exuded an eerie Sword Energy.
Average people weren’t able to kill a giant beast with a single sword strike.
The man was wearing white clothes. He picked up his sword, whose radiance engulfed the land, and moved lightly away.
In another place, amid the depths of a mountain range, a dazzling golden light shone, turning the whole sky bright with its light.
A dragon’s roar echoed ceaselessly, and every time it echoed, the earth would quake and the mountain would shake.
Energy waves were spreading in the sky, forming a deadly power.
A flying beast ended up flying into the energy waves, and its body was immediately crushed to pieces.
ROAR!
Another dragon’s roar echoed, as the golden light became more dazzling, and boundless power roiled the land.
A mountain couldn’t bear such power and ended up crumbling with a rumbling sound.
After a moment, everything descended into silence, and a golden dragon soared high into the sky. As it flew into the air, it took on the appearance of a pretty human woman. It was none other than Ao Yue!
Ao Yue was fighting against a demonic ape, whose body’s height reached 1,000 feet. It possessed boundless power, and its whole body emanated a viciousness.
Suddenly, all of the demonic ape’s bones were shattered, and its muscles were torn apart. It ended up lying on the mountain like mud.
Ao Yue didn’t spare him a single glance, but gazed in the direction of the place where the mirage had appeared.
“A divine palace should be there.”
As her voice echoed, she moved forward quickly, and the energy emanating from her took the shape of a dragon.
There were many apex experts in all corners of the ancient ruins who had seen the mirage and now wanted to get the Extreme Martial Techniques.
.....
Jiang Chen waited with much impatience for the fall of night. When the sky became filled with stars, he landed on a mountain peak and started making calculations.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Chen managed to discern the approximate location.
“It was really beneficial to have read so many books,” Jiang Chen thought to himself as he was about to move.
However, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed many people in a forest not far from him.
“Well, well?” Jiang Chen was curious about this. When the crowd had entered, they had scattered all around. There was surely something interesting in the forest.
After Jiang Chen thought it over, he decided to ignore this because looking for an Extreme Martial Technique was more important. However, he had ended up by chance seeing such a strange matter.
A blur could be faintly seen in the forest because the night sky was dark due to only dim light coming from the stars. Jiang Chen saw a dark blue blob on a lush treetop, which didn’t conform to the darkness around it. He couldn’t help but go over to take a look out of curiosity.
When Jiang Chen had a clear look at what was there, he involuntarily took a
deep breath of cold air. It was unexpectedly a giant spider. The spider’s feet were enormous and all on the ground. The spider had unexpectedly hidden in the tree.
The people in the forest had no idea that such a terrifying organism was atop their heads, and some of them had even put their hands on the spider’s legs without detecting anything fishy.
The giant spider stayed motionless, and it was waiting for other people to take the bait. This was why it was difficult to detect with Holy Awareness.
When someone walked below it, the spider spouted sticky and venomous silk. It engulfed the person and pulled him into its mouth.
The venom was too poisonous, and the person couldn’t even let out a scream.
When Jiang Chen looked from a more distant place, he was quite startled. There wasn’t a single spider. They were everywhere. They were hiding in the darkness.
“Everyone, please be careful! There are terrifying giant beasts atop your heads.”
Jiang Chen didn’t care what those people were doing there. But he couldn’t bear to just look on as they died while oblivious to everything.
Jiang Chen’s voice broke the night sky’s silence, and, after everything remained silent for a moment, the forest descended into chaos.
Many waves of energy illuminated the land, scattered the darkness, and also let those hideous giant spiders become more distinct.
“You should be careful of their venomous fluid,” Jiang Chen warned them and charged at the spider closest to him.
The spider, which had a strange shape, let out an unpleasant cry and spouted silk at Jiang Chen. The silk quickly formed a net, which had slimy venomous liquid flowing through it.
Jiang Chen used the Red Cloud Sword, and the raging flames quickly burned the spider web, while his berserk sword power attacked the spider and managed to easily exterminate it.
It seemed now that it was only the spider’s venomous fluid and hiding ability that were amazing.
As Jiang Chen witnessed spiders dying one after the other, he realized that he could leave because these people were able to deal with them.
“Wait!”
“Jiang Chen? Stop!”
What Jiang Chen didn’t expect was that several people would fly out of the forest one after the other. Some of them asked him to stop, while one of them obstructed him.
The people who asked him to stop were Miss Bai, Sleeping Young Master, and their companions. They had unexpectedly been able to form a team and travel together even in the ancient ruins.
As for the person who obstructed Jiang Chen, it was the Slaughter Sword Doctrine’s inheritor, Duan Yun.
“What are you doing here?” Jiang Chen didn’t care about Duan Yun, and he questioned Miss Bai. He wanted to know what was in the forest.
“There is honey in the forest, and it has Divine Servant Bees. The honey formed through the divine flowers’ nectar is called divine honey, and it’s rumored that it was served in the past to heavenly gods.”
“A drop of the honey was on a par with a Breakthrough Immortal Elixir,” Miss Bai explained everything to Jiang Chen honestly.
“Is a drop of that honey on a par with a Breakthrough Immortal Elixir?”
Jiang Chen found it unbelievable, and he almost considered giving up on Extreme Martial Techniques and just staying here to collect honey.
Jiang Chen could concoct a large number of Immortal Elixirs, but those were just Cultivation Immortal Elixirs. If he wanted Breakthrough Immortal Elixirs, he would have to spend a large period just to gather enough materials and herbs.
“The Divine Servant Bees have already been alerted, and it will be difficult to try to collect honey once again,” Sleeping Young Master shook his head, while wearing an irritated look.
A Divine Servant Bee wasn’t any weaker than a second-grade demonic beast, and a group of Divine Servant Bees was terrifying. This was why everyone was moving quietly among the forest.
As Jiang Chen looked over there, he discovered that most people had come into the sky, and there was a buzzing sound that echoed ceaselessly from the forest.
The Divine Servant Bees’ flight height was limited, and they could only fly around in the forest.
“Sleeping Young Master,” Miss Bai shouted, speaking out of displeasure, “when we looked up before, we discovered the spiders eyeing us, did you forget?”
“I...I could react and respond in time,” Sleeping Young Master braced himself and answered.
It turned out that he blamed Jiang Chen, who had alerted the Divine Servant Bees.
Jiang Chen shook his head. The spiders could be easily killed because they weren’t too powerful. But as they hid among the darkness, they possessed a deadly power able to instantly kill any Martial Emperors.
COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! Duan Yun, who stood on the side, wore a provocative look, which turned into a confused look, before it became an angry look. Jiang Chen had unexpectedly ignored him thoroughly!
Duan Yun was forced to cough to attract attention, and he spoke coldly, “I have said that if ran into you inside, I wouldn’t let you off the hook.”
“Jiang Chen helped us out of kindness, and if we hadn’t had his help, we might not even know how we ended up dead.” Miss Bai strode forward, while emanating an oppressing aura and wearing a sharp look.
“If you want to look for trouble, I will keep you company.”
Upon hearing Miss Bai say such words, Sleeping Young Master felt quite unwell and became jealous of Jiang Chen once again.
