第两千三百零六章 诡异的蜘蛛

Lin Xuan stayed in the city of狂沙城 for a few days before he left. ~ Follow Dream Novels, com

Although he did not find any treasures in the market, having a map that covered thousands of miles was already a great收获. This time, his purpose for going out wasn't clear; it was simply to take his mind off things. With this map, he no longer had to worry about getting lost and confidently flew towards the depths of the Solitary Spirit Desert.

Let's see how lucky I am today. Perhaps I might actually come across some extraordinary treasures. Of course, even if he found nothing, Lin Xuan wouldn't be upset.

He had already adjusted his mindset: everything goes with the flow.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, nearly half a year had passed since he left his cave.

This period was incredibly uneventful; Lin Xuan didn't encounter any extraordinary opportunities. It seemed that fate wasn't always kind to him.

It's about time I head back.

Although this trip hadn’t yielded any significant treasures, at least his mind and body were thoroughly relaxed.

Lin Xuan decided to return to his cave. Although he believed in balancing work and rest, he couldn’t afford to miss out on opportunities. He aimed to advance to the Spirit Separation Stage before returning to the Spiritual Realm.

Even if achieving this goal would be challenging, how could he know unless he tried?

With these thoughts, Lin Xuan’s body was enveloped in a green glow as his遁光转向 and soon vanished without a trace.

He was now deep within the Solitary Spirit Desert. Lin Xuan didn’t plan to rush; at his current speed, it would take about twenty days to reach his destination.

Lin Xuan wasn't in a hurry and didn’t travel through the night. He flew during the day and camped under the stars at night, finding no discomfort but rather an unusual charm.

After traveling for some time, Lin Xuan had covered most of the distance.

One day, while flying, he released his divine sense to pass the time.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan’s expression changed slightly, a corner of his mouth twitching. However, he quickly regained his composure and continued flying forward as if nothing happened.

Behind him, about ten miles away, a unremarkable black cloud was slowly following him. It didn’t seem fast but was closely trailing behind.

After a while, Lin Xuan’s face showed signs of impatience. Why aren't these ancient demons making any move?

He condensed his遁光 and stopped. He turned to the cloud: "Friends, what is your intention? Following me all this way; do you harbor ill intentions towards me?"

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, the black cloud ceased its movement and began to churn. After a moment, the demonic aura dissipated, revealing two ancient demons. The one on the left had two heads and four arms, towering over a meter in height, while the one on the right was slender with pointed ears and silver eyes.

Lin Xuan was taken aback. Although their appearances were different, those pointed ears and silver eyes resembled Cloud Concealment Sect’s Senior Elder quite closely.

Could his uncle also have ancient demon blood?

However, Lin Xuan didn’t dwell on this thought. Despite the two demons’ different appearances, they were only at the Separation Stage, and daring to provoke him was… strange.

Lin Xuan couldn’t put it into words but couldn’t blame them either. After all, his Mo Yue Heavenly Witch Art had become even more mysterious after he advanced, leading these fellows to mistakenly believe he was also an ancient demon of the Separation Stage.

"Boy, you actually managed to spot us. If you’re smart, hand over your storage bag. We are not cruel or bloodthirsty; we can spare you."

"Really?"

Lin Xuan laughed, showing no fear on his face. After traveling for so long, he found it amusing that these juniors dared to rob him. How many years had passed since such a thing happened?

With his hands behind his back, Lin Xuan showed no signs of fear. The couple of demons weren’t foolish; they felt something was off from his actions but couldn’t figure out what.

Deciding not to waste time, the two demons prepared to launch their法宝.

However, at this moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Woo…

A deep and heavy voice echoed in their ears. They were hovering mid-air when suddenly, the sand beneath them began to rise without any warning. The speed was incredible, like a sudden wave of a storm, shooting up to several dozen meters high.

The black cloud now surrounded them, emitting an eerie glow that was silent and mysterious.

"What is this?"

Lin Xuan’s response was swift; he released his essence energy, and the Nine Heavens Qi Shield appeared.

Although his current strength made the Nine Heavens Art unremarkable, the Nine Heavens Qi Shield could be activated quickly. It was still useful in sudden attacks or unexpected changes.

A blue light enveloped Lin Xuan as sand particles were repelled before they could engulf him.

Only then did he realize that what he thought was sand were actually flying insects fiercely冲击ing his shield. The sound of impact filled his ears, and the Nine Heavens Qi Shield proved to be resilient but not easily broken. However, these insects’ strength was astonishing. In a moment, Lin Xuan discovered their true form—tiny spiders with grotesque appearances.

Unable to break through the barrier, the spiders began to spread out and started weaving webs. Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted as he didn’t allow them to succeed. With a wave of his sleeves, sword energy shot out, targeting the spider threads, which were afraid of fire. The sword energy Lin Xuan released was all fire属性.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. Adding to that, his quick actions prevented the threads from forming a large-scale web. Crackling sounds filled his ears as the threads were torn apart by the sword energy.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Xuan broke free of the encirclement and flew several thousand feet away before stopping his遁光. He was about to use a treasure to counter them but stopped again.

There was no need; those spiders didn’t chase him. Seeing that they couldn't trap him, thousands of spiders surrounded the unfortunate couple, despite their quick reactions and defensive black bowls. Their magic power couldn’t withstand the overwhelming number of spiders, who broke through in a rush. Soon, their cries filled the air as spiders covered their bodies, rendering any struggle futile.

Embarrassed, if not for my wife’s reminder just now, I almost forgot today is Mom's birthday. Today, I made her work all day and feel guilty. Now, I’ll make it up by ordering a meal and spending time with her tonight. Mom, you’ve worked hard; Happy Birthday! May you live long and healthy. (To be continued)
