神识同样无法探测，林轩略一踌躇，缓步走过去了。?随夢小說?,.com
Spiritual sense could not penetrate it either. Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before walking past slowly.
shēn chū shǒu lái ， huǎn huǎn jiàng mén tuī kāi ， yī tiáo xiá cháng de tōng dào chū xiàn yú miàn qián 。
伸出手来，缓缓将门推开，一条狭长的通道出现于面前。
He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, revealing a narrow passage in front of him.
jì lái zhī ， zé ān zhī ， rú jīn dāng rán bù kě néng fàng qì ， lín xuān xiàng tōng dào nèi zǒu qù 。
既来之，则安之，如今当然不可能放弃，林轩像通道内走去。
Since he was here, he might as well stay. There was no way to give up now. Lin Xuan walked into the passage.
yòu huā fèi le yuē yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， cái lái dào jìn tóu 。
又huā费了约一炷香的功夫，才来到尽头。
It took about an incense stick's worth of time for him to reach the end. However, what met his eyes there left Lin Xuan greatly surprised.
rán ér yǎn qián suǒ chū xiàn de yí mù ， què ràng lín xuān dà wèi jīng è 。
然而眼前所出现的一幕，却让林轩大为惊愕。
This turned out to be another separate small space.
zhè jū rán yòu shì yī dān dú de xiǎo kōng jiān 。
这居然又是一单独的小空间。
Looking around, he saw piles upon piles of broken rocks everywhere. The place was filled with dense demonic aura, covering several miles in width.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， dào chù dōu shì yī duī yī duī de suì shí ， sì zhōu mí màn zhe nóng yù de mó qì ， yuē yǒu shù shí lǐ kuān guǎng de yàng zi 。
放眼望去，到处都是一堆一堆的碎石，四周弥漫着浓郁的魔气，约有数十里宽广的样子。
Lin Xuan maintained a wary expression on his face. But before he could use his spiritual sense to explore the entire space, sharp insect sounds reached his ears.
lín xuān liǎn shàng bǎo chí zhe jiè bèi zhī sè ， rán ér hái lái bù jí yòng shén shí zài zhěng gè kōng jiān zuò yī xià tàn suǒ ， jiù yǒu jiān ruì de chóng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
林轩脸上保持着戒备之色，然而还来不及用神识在整个空间做一下探索，就有尖锐的虫鸣声传入耳朵。
A black cloud of insects stretched for several acres and rushed towards him.
hēi sè de chóng yún ， mián yán zú yǒu shù mǔ ， cháo zhe zì jǐ zhè biān pū guò lái le 。
黑色的虫云，绵延足有数亩，朝着自己这边扑过来了。
It was the Sky Wolf Spider!
tiān hěn zhū ！
天狠蛛！
The scale of this insect cloud was indeed formidable, but compared to the Bloodfire Ants that Lin Xuan had raised, it was like a small witch seeing a great witch.
zhè chóng yún de guī mó ， dào yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér yǔ lín xuān huàn yǎng de xuè huǒ yǐ xiāng bǐ ， zé chéng le xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū 。
这虫云的规模，倒也非同小可，然而与林轩豢养的血火蚁相比，则成了小巫见大巫。
Lin Xuan swept his sleeve, and the Ten Thousand Souls Tower flew out from within.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， wàn hún tǎ cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，万魂塔从里面飞掠而出。
Following a loud tearing sound, bright white light shone. A vortex several feet in diameter appeared, and the Bloodfire Ants poured out of it.
suí hòu cī lā shēng dà zuò ， bái guāng yào yǎn ， yí gè zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de xuán wō chū xiàn ， xuè huǒ yǐ cóng lǐ miàn fēng yōng chū lái 。
随后刺啦声大做，白光耀眼，一个直径丈许的漩涡出现，血火蚁从里面蜂拥出来。
Poison for poison!
yǐ dú gōng dú ！
以毒攻毒！
When Lin Xuan was first attacked by the Sky Wolf Spider, he had shown signs of unease, but that was due to the sudden change in circumstances. Once he reacted and prepared himself, these puny demonic insects meant nothing.
dì yī cì bèi tiān láng zhū xí jī ， lín xuān céng xiǎn chū jǐ fēn láng bèi zhī sè ， rán ér nà shì yóu yú biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， yí dàn tā fǎn yìng guò lái ， yǒu le zhǔn bèi ， zhè qū qū mó chóng ， yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
第一次被天狼蛛袭击，林轩曾显出几分狼狈之色，然而那是由于变起仓储，一旦他反应过来，有了准备，这区区魔虫，又算得了什么。
Two sharp insect sounds reached his ears. Any low-ranking cultivator here would likely have been driven mad by them, but Lin Xuan remained unperturbed.
liǎng zhǒng jiān ruì de chóng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， ruò shì huàn yī míng dī jiē xiū xiān zhě zài cǐ chù ， kǒng pà dōu yào tīng dé jīng shén huǎng hū ， rán ér lín xuān què miàn bù gǎi sè 。
两种尖锐的虫鸣声传入耳朵，若是换一名低阶修仙者在此处，恐怕都要听得精神恍惚，然而林轩却面不改色。
Soon, black and red insect clouds clashed fiercely together, their screeches becoming extremely sharp. Like two rivers intertwining, the Sky Wolf Spiders and Bloodfire Ants tore into each other.
hěn kuài ， hēi sè yǔ hóng sè ， liǎng duǒ chóng yún hěn hěn de zhuàng jī zài yì qǐ ， sī míng shēng gèng biàn dé jiān ruì yǐ jí ， rú liǎng dào hóng liú jiāo zhī ， tiān láng zhū yǔ xuè huǒ yǐ hù xiāng sī yǎo 。
很快，黑色与红色，两朵虫云狠狠的撞击在一起，嘶鸣声更变得尖锐以极，如两道洪流交织，天狼蛛与血火蚁互相撕咬。
Meanwhile, rustling sounds filled his ears as more demonic insects fell from the sky. It was hard to tell which side suffered greater losses in this battle for a while.
tóng shí ， xī xī suǒ suǒ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ què shì bù tíng de yǒu mó chóng yóu tiān kōng zhuì luò ， yī shí piàn kè ， yě hěn nán fēn biàn liǎng zhǒng mó chóng zhēng dòu de jié guǒ ， jiū jìng shuí yǔn luò gèng duō 。
同时，悉悉索索的声音传入耳朵却是不停的有魔虫由天空坠落，一时片刻，也很难分辨两种魔虫争斗的结果，究竟谁陨落更多。
As time passed, the area where the insect clouds touched increased, making the fight even more intense.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， chóng yún jiē chù de miàn jī yuè lái yuè duō ér zhàn dòu yě jiù biàn dé yuè fā de jī liè le 。
随着时间的推移，虫云接触的面积越来越多而战斗也就变得越发的激烈了。
Lin Xuan floated in mid-air with a calm expression, showing no intention of interfering.
lín xuān shén sè dàn dìng de xuán fú zài kōng zhōng sī háo yě méi yǒu chā shǒu de yì tú 。
林轩神色淡定的悬浮在空中丝毫也没有插手的意图。
After about several dozen breaths, a sharp sound came. The Sky Wolf Spiders suddenly changed direction and retreated.
jiù zhè yàng ， yòu guò le dà yuē shù shí xī de gōng fu ， yī jiān ruì de shēng yīn chuán lái ， nà xiē tiān láng zhū zhòu rán fāng xiàng yī gǎi hòu tuì le qǐ lái 。
就这样，又过了大约数十息的功夫，一尖锐的声音传来，那些天狼蛛骤然方向一改后退了起来。
These demonic insects were indeed not wild creatures but controlled by someone.
zhè xiē mó chóng guǒ rán bìng fēi yě shēng zhī wù ， ér shì yǒu rén cāo kòng lái zhe 。
这些魔虫果然并非野生之物，而是有人操控来着。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as he was about to command the Bloodfire Ants to pursue them. However, he found that the Sky Wolf Spiders had only retreated several dozen feet before stopping. Then, a burst of white light appeared between both sides, and large strands of spider silk shot out like arrows from the spider cluster. Soon, the leading Bloodfire Ants were ensnared.
lín xuān nǎo hòu zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， zhèng yào zhǐ huī xuè huǒ yǐ zhuī jī ， què fā xiàn nà tiān láng zhū jǐn jǐn tuì le bǎi yú zhàng de jù lí ， jiù tíng le xià lái ， suí hòu liǎng zhě zhī jiān bái máng zhòu qǐ ， dà piàn de zhū sī rú bèi qiáng gōng yìng nǔ fā shè cóng láng zhū qún lǐ pēn bó ， hěn kuài ， xuè huǒ yǐ de qián fēng ， jiù bèi wǎng chéng yī piàn le 。
林轩脑后中念头转过，正要指挥血火蚁追击，却发现那天狼蛛仅仅退了百余丈的距离，就停了下来，随后两者之间白芒骤起，大片的蛛丝如被强弓硬弩发射从狼蛛群里喷薄，很快，血火蚁的前锋，就被网成一片了。
These spider silks had great stickiness, often sticking together several ants with just one strand.
nà xiē zhū sī dài zhe hěn dà de nián xìng ， wǎng wǎng yī gēn ， jiù néng jiāng shù zhǐ xuè huǒ yǐ zhān zài yì qǐ 。
那些蛛丝带着很大的黏性，往往一根，就能将数只血火蚁粘在一起。
The ant swarm was caught off guard, causing chaos to erupt.
yǐ qún bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， dùn shí hùn luàn zhòu qǐ 。
蚁群被打了个措手不及，顿时混乱骤起。
How could these Sky Wolf Spiders let such an opportunity slip? They buzzed loudly and split into several groups, launching a frenzied attack on the disorganized Bloodfire Ants.
zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì ， tiān láng zhū qǐ kěn fàng qì ， wēng míng shēng dà zuò hēi sè de chóng qún fēn chéng shù gǔ ， duì luàn zuò yī tuán de xuè huǒ yǐ fā qǐ le fēng kuáng de chōng jī 。
这样的好机会，天狼蛛岂肯放弃，嗡鸣声大做黑色的虫群分成数股，对乱作一团的血火蚁发起了疯狂的冲击。
This time, the battle shifted from being evenly matched to the spiders gaining a decisive advantage almost immediately upon contact.
zhè yī cì jiē chù yī gǎi gāng gāng de shì jūn lì dí ， jī hū zài pèng zhuàng de shùn jiān ， láng zhū qún jiù qǔ dé le yā dǎo xìng de yōu shì 。
这一次接触一改刚刚的势均力敌，几乎在碰撞的瞬间，狼蛛群就取得了压倒性的优势。
The situation was unfavorable for the Bloodfire Ants. However, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, showing no signs of panic. He merely extended his right hand and shouted lightly: "Break!"
jú miàn duì xuè huǒ yǐ shí fēn bù lì ， rán ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng yī jiù dàn dìng ， sī háo huāng luàn zhī yì yě wú ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng yòu shǒu shēn chū ， duì zhe qián fāng yī shēng qīng hē ：“ pò ！”
局面对血火蚁十分不利，然而林轩的表情依旧淡定，丝毫慌乱之意也无，仅仅是将右手伸出，对着前方一声轻喝：“破！”
Before he could finish speaking, thunderous sounds echoed in his ears. No, more accurately, explosions sounded one after another. The Sky Wolf Spiders could spin silk, but did the Bloodfire Ants not have their own tricks?
huà yīn wèi luò ， hōng míng shēng yǐ chuán rù le ěr duǒ ， bù ， zhèng què de shuō shì bào zhà shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， tiān láng zhū huì tǔ sī ， nán dào xuè huǒ yǐ jiù méi yǒu zì jǐ de zhāo shù ？
话音未落，轰鸣声已传入了耳朵，不，正确的说是爆炸声此起彼伏，天狼蛛会吐丝，难道血火蚁就没有自己的招数？
The answer was no. However, compared to the Sky Wolf Spiders, the Bloodfire Ants' method seemed too tragic.
dá mǎo àn dāng rán shì fǒu dìng de ， zhǐ bù guò yǔ tiān láng zhū xiāng bǐ ， xuè huǒ yǐ de zhāo shù xiǎn de tài bēi zhuàng le 。
答冇案当然是否定的，只不过与天狼蛛相比，血火蚁的招数显得太悲壮了。
But it was also more useful.
bù guò gèng yǒu yòng chù 。
不过更有用处。
The destructive power of self-detonation was obvious. This wave of ants that chose such a path were all those stuck by spider silk. The excited spiders near them turned into nothingness in a flash of flames. Meanwhile, the ants behind did not get caught up and instead became even stronger due to absorbing the residual shockwave.
zì bào de wēi lì bù bì shuō ， zhè yī bō rú cǐ xuǎn zé de xuè huǒ yǐ quán dōu shì bèi zhū sī nián zhù de nà zhǒng ， tiān láng zhū gāng xìng chōng chōng de pū dào jìn chù ， jiù zài yī piàn huǒ guāng zhōng huà wèi le xū wú ， ér hòu miàn de xuè huǒ yǐ bù jǐn méi yǒu bèi juǎn rù ， fǎn ér yīn wèi xī shōu le bào zhà de yú bō ， biàn dé gèng jiā qiáng dà le 。
自爆的威力不必说，这一波如此选择的血火蚁全都是被蛛丝黏住的那种，天狼蛛刚兴冲冲的扑到近处，就在一片火光中化为了虚无，而后面的血火蚁不仅没有被卷入，反而因为吸收了爆炸的余波，变得更加强大了。
Immunity to damage!
shāng hài miǎn yì ！
伤害免疫！
A harsh voice entered his ears as Lin Xuan raised his head. He found it was the woman from earlier. However, at this moment, she was not attacked by the Sky Wolf Spiders; in fact, if he did not mistake, she had transformed into their controller.
yī nán tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， fā xiàn zhèng shì gāng gāng nà shuāng mó zhōng de nǚ zǐ ， zhǐ bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā bù jǐn méi yǒu bèi tiān láng shū gōng jī ， ér qiě ruò shì zì jǐ méi yǒu kàn cuò ， hái yáo shēn yī biàn ， chéng wéi le zhè xiē mó chóng de cāo zòng zhě 。
一难听的声音传入耳朵，林轩抬起头颅，发现正是刚刚那双魔中的女子，只不过此时此刻，她不仅没有被天狼殊攻击，而且若是自己没有看错，还摇身一变，成为了这些魔虫的操纵者。
How could that be?
zěn me huì zhè yàng ne ？
怎么会这样呢？
"These Bloodfire Ants have immunity to damage."
“ zhè xiē xuè huǒ yǐ ， yōng yǒu shāng hài miǎn yì 。”
“这些血火蚁，拥有伤害免疫。”
The woman's lips moved slightly, but her voice was strange and harsh, unlike a woman's. A layer of greenish aura appeared on her face, making her expression extremely呆滞.
nà nǚ zǐ yīng chún wēi qǐ ， rán ér shēng yīn què hěn gǔ guài ， shā yǎ nán tīng ， wán quán bù xiàng nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn ， ér qiě tā de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī céng qīng qì ， biǎo qíng yě dāi zhì yǐ jí 。
那女子樱唇微启，然而声音却很古怪，沙哑难听，完全不像女子的声音，而且她的脸上浮现出一层青气，表情也呆滞以极。
Lin Xuan's knowledge was vast. Upon seeing this scene, he immediately guessed what had happened.
lín xuān jiàn shí hé děng guǎng bó ， kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， xīn zhōng lì kè yǒu le cāi cè 。
林轩见识何等广博，看见这一幕，心中立刻有了猜侧。
This woman was possessed or had been taken over by another entity, but it wasn't entirely accurate. The other party did not intend to devour her soul; instead, they used a hypnotic secret technique to temporarily control her mind.
cǐ nǚ ** kòng le ， huò zhě shuō bèi duó shě ， dàn yě bù zhǔn què ， duì fāng bìng méi yǒu tūn shì tā hún pò de yì tú ， jǐn jǐn shì yòng lèi sì yú cuī mián de mì shù ， zàn shí jiāng cǐ nǚ de shén zhì kòng zhì zhù le 。
此女**控了，或者说被夺舍，但也不准确，对方并没有吞噬她魂魄的意图，仅仅是用类似于催眠的秘术，暂时将此女的神智控制住了。
It was clear that the one doing this must be a demon sealed here.
bú yòng shuō ， huì zhè me zuò de ， kěn dìng shì bèi fēng yìn zài cǐ dì de yāo mó 。
不用说，会这么做的，肯定是被封印在此地的妖魔。
Interesting, what could his purpose be? And releasing the Sky Wolf Spiders now seemed not just for defeating him.
yǒu yì si ， tā zhè me zuò ， jiū jìng yǒu shén me mù dì ， hái yǒu cǐ kè fàng chū tiān láng zhū ， sì hū bìng bù jǐn jǐn xiàng shì wèi le dǎ bài zì jǐ 。
有意思，他这么做，究竟有什么目的，还有此刻放出天狼蛛，似乎并不仅仅像是为了打败自己。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced but he still couldn't figure it out in an instant.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè ， què yòu xiǎng bù chū gè suǒ yǐ rán 。
林轩脑海中念头急转，然而一时片刻，却又想不出个所以然。
However, at this moment, a sound like a heavy thunderclap entered his ears.
rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè ， què yǒu yī zhèn mèn léi bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在此刻，却有一阵闷雷般的声音传入耳朵。
Lin Xuan was startled; clearly, they were underground, so how could there be lightning?
lín xuān xiān shì yī è ， zhè lǐ míng míng wèi yú dì dǐ shēn chù ， zěn me huì dǎ léi ne ？
林轩先是一愕，这里明明位于地底深处，怎么会打雷呢？
He raised his head sharply although his spiritual sense remained suppressed here. But Lin Xuan was far from an ordinary cultivator. He sensed that the demonic aura around him was converging in one direction, specifically away from this area.
suí hòu tā sà rán tái qǐ tóu lú ， suī rán zài zhè ge dì fāng ， shén shí yī jiù shòu dào yā zhì ， rán ér lín xuān bì jìng yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng xiū shì kě bǐ ， tā gǎn jué dào le ， fù jìn de mó qì ， zhèng zài cháo zhe yí gè fāng xiàng jù jí ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì chú le zì jǐ zhōu wéi zhè yī piàn qū yù de mó qì ， qí tā dì fāng de ， dōu zài cháo zhe nà lǐ jù jí 。
随后他飒然抬起头颅，虽然在这个地方，神识依旧受到压制，然而林轩毕竟远非普通修士可比，他感觉到了，附近的魔气，正在朝着一个方向聚集，正确的说，是除了自己周围这一片区域的魔气，其他地方的，都在朝着那里聚集。
The demonic aura here did not change; it clearly didn't want to draw attention to himself.
ér zhè lǐ de mó qì méi yǒu fā shēng biàn huà ， míng xiǎn shì bù xiǎng jīng dòng zì jǐ 。
而这里的魔气没有发生变化，明显是不想惊动自己。
Clever, something must be happening there.
hǎo jiǎo huá ， nà lǐ yí dìng yǒu shén me biàn gù 。
好狡猾，那里一定有什么变故。
Seeing Lin Xuan turn his head, the demon woman seemed a bit anxious: "Little guy, why look elsewhere? Focus on yourself first. Do you have any chance of leaving this place?"
jiàn lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， nà mó nǚ sì hū yǒu diǎn jí le ：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， kàn bié chù gàn shén me ， xiān dān xīn dān xīn zì jǐ hǎo le ， yǒu méi yǒu jī huì lí kāi cǐ chù 。
见林轩转过头颅，那魔女似乎有点急了：“小家伙，看别处干什么，先担心担心自己好了，有没有机会离开此处。
Before she could finish speaking, her expression turned serious as she waved both hands. As she moved, several spirit beast pouches rose into the air and hovered in mid-air.
huà yīn wèi luò ， cǐ nǚ shén sè níng zhòng de liǎng shǒu huī wǔ ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， shù zhǐ líng shòu dài cóng téng kōng ér qǐ ， piāo fú zài le bàn kōng zhōng 。
话音未落，此女神色凝重的两手挥舞，随着她的动作，数只灵兽袋从腾空而起，漂浮在了半空中。
Then, she cast a spell, and the mouths of the bags opened wide.
suí hòu tā yī qiā fǎ jué ， dài kǒu zhāng kāi 。
随后她一掐法诀，袋口张开。
An immeasurable number of Sky Wolf Spiders poured out, filling the entire space like a blanket. The description was not exaggerated; within several miles, they filled the area completely.
nán yǐ jì shù de tiān láng zhū cóng lǐ miàn fēng yōng chū lái ， yī shí jiān ， pū tiān gài dì ， zhè xíng róng cí ， jué méi yǒu rèn hé kuā dà zhī chù ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， fāng yuán shù lǐ ， dōu bèi tiān láng zhū tián mǎn le 。
难以计数的天狼蛛从里面蜂拥出来，一时间，铺天盖地，这形容词，绝没有任何夸大之处，整个空间，方圆数里，都被天狼蛛填满了。
"You're an existence at the Profound Profound后期 stage, but can you handle so many demonic insects?" the woman said smugly.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ shì dòng xuán hòu qī de cún zài yòu rú hé ， duì fù dé le zhè me duō mó chóng me ？” nà nǚ zǐ dé yì de shuō 。
“小家伙，你是洞玄后期的存在又如何，对付得了这么多魔虫么？”那女子得意的说。
"Is that so?"
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
With such a large number of demonic insects, it indeed caught one's attention. However, to scare him, it seemed still not enough.
rú cǐ duō de mó chóng ， què shí lìng rén cè mù ， rán ér xiǎng yào xià dào zì jǐ ， sì hū hái yǒu xiē bù gòu gé 。
如此多的魔虫，确实令人侧目，然而想要吓倒自己，似乎还有些不够格。
Lin Xuan cast another spell, and the Ten Thousand Souls Tower emitted bright light. The vortex expanded suddenly, and countless Bloodfire Ants poured out like a river breaking its banks.
lín xuān yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， wàn hún tǎ líng guāng dà zuò ， nà xuán wō de miàn jī ， dǒu rán kuò dà le ， suí hòu ， wú shù de xuè huǒ yǐ ， rú jiāng hé jué dī ， cóng lǐ miàn fēng yōng chū qù 。
林轩一道法诀打出，万魂塔灵光大做，那漩涡的面积，陡然扩大了，随后，无数的血火蚁，如江河决堤，从里面蜂拥出去。
"It can't be!"
“ bù kě néng ！”
“不可能！”
The woman was greatly alarmed. Since she excelled in insect control techniques, she knew that even with high reproductive rates, it would still be extremely difficult to breed so many insects.
Spiritual sense could not penetrate it either. Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before walking past slowly.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, revealing a narrow passage in front of him.
Since he was here, he might as well stay. There was no way to give up now. Lin Xuan walked into the passage.
It took about an incense stick's worth of time for him to reach the end. However, what met his eyes there left Lin Xuan greatly surprised.
This turned out to be another separate small space.
Looking around, he saw piles upon piles of broken rocks everywhere. The place was filled with dense demonic aura, covering several miles in width.
Lin Xuan maintained a wary expression on his face. But before he could use his spiritual sense to explore the entire space, sharp insect sounds reached his ears.
A black cloud of insects stretched for several acres and rushed towards him.
It was the Sky Wolf Spider!
The scale of this insect cloud was indeed formidable, but compared to the Bloodfire Ants that Lin Xuan had raised, it was like a small witch seeing a great witch.
Lin Xuan swept his sleeve, and the Ten Thousand Souls Tower flew out from within.
Following a loud tearing sound, bright white light shone. A vortex several feet in diameter appeared, and the Bloodfire Ants poured out of it.
Poison for poison!
When Lin Xuan was first attacked by the Sky Wolf Spider, he had shown signs of unease, but that was due to the sudden change in circumstances. Once he reacted and prepared himself, these puny demonic insects meant nothing.
Two sharp insect sounds reached his ears. Any low-ranking cultivator here would likely have been driven mad by them, but Lin Xuan remained unperturbed.
Soon, black and red insect clouds clashed fiercely together, their screeches becoming extremely sharp. Like two rivers intertwining, the Sky Wolf Spiders and Bloodfire Ants tore into each other.
Meanwhile, rustling sounds filled his ears as more demonic insects fell from the sky. It was hard to tell which side suffered greater losses in this battle for a while.
As time passed, the area where the insect clouds touched increased, making the fight even more intense.
Lin Xuan floated in mid-air with a calm expression, showing no intention of interfering.
After about several dozen breaths, a sharp sound came. The Sky Wolf Spiders suddenly changed direction and retreated.
These demonic insects were indeed not wild creatures but controlled by someone.

Seeing Lin Xuan turn his head, the demon woman seemed a bit anxious: "Little guy, why look elsewhere? Focus on yourself first. Do you have any chance of leaving this place?"
Before she could finish speaking, her expression turned serious as she waved both hands. As she moved, several spirit beast pouches rose into the air and hovered in mid-air.
Then, she cast a spell, and the mouths of the bags opened wide.
An immeasurable number of Sky Wolf Spiders poured out, filling the entire space like a blanket. The description was not exaggerated; within several miles, they filled the area completely.
"You're an existence at the Profound Profound后期 stage, but can you handle so many demonic insects?" the woman said smugly.
"Is that so?"
With such a large number of demonic insects, it indeed caught one's attention. However, to scare him, it seemed still not enough.
Lin Xuan cast another spell, and the Ten Thousand Souls Tower emitted bright light. The vortex expanded suddenly, and countless Bloodfire Ants poured out like a river breaking its banks.
"It can't be!"
The woman was greatly alarmed. Since she excelled in insect control techniques, she knew that even with high reproductive rates, it would still be extremely difficult to breed so many insects.
