Chapter 201: Cold-Mantid Spider

." The Ghost Venerable transmitted his voice to Tie Shi Sheath. "From now on, you will follow this deity. If you can accomplish great deeds for this deity in this ethereal hall, this deity can also g...“Hurry, retreat!” The two Yan family cultivators who had been at the front and the two Hu family cultivators, with only one being a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, were no match for such a large number of cold swarm spiders. Even Yan Ming, leading them, swiftly retreated. 。At the same time as fear gripped his heart, he felt a sliver of luck. Those Qi-cultivating cultivators weren't as fast as him. With these Qi-cultivating cultivators blocking the way, they should be able to delay the opponent's advance. By then, other Foundation Establishment experts from his family would arrive, and together, they could stabilize their position and slay these Cold Mite Spiders without any problems. 。

But things never went as expected. More and more small cold-blooded spiders emerged like a tidal wave. Even several foundation-building experts were startled and retreated in panic, let alone the cultivators at the Qi Refining stage who fled in disarray.

Several gigantic black giant cold-bite spiders, with eight long legs moving in unison, were as fast as foundation-building cultivators. Their eight legs were as hard as iron and served as the best weapons. The chill emanating from the adult cold-bite spiders was also their best weapon. Those qi refining cultivators who came too close were frozen stiff, and once they encountered these spiders, it was a one-sided slaughter. Delaying their opponent's speed was simply impossible. 。"Big brother, what do we do" Lü Hui looked at the swarm of spiders rushing in like a tide, terrified. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had been swallowed by the spider swarm and were being attacked and devoured by several cold-blooded spiders, leaving no bones behind. 。Such a horrifying sight. 。"What can we do Naturally, we have to withdraw, the sooner the better." 。Lü Feng also shivered, even the Foundation Establishment cultivator panicked and retreated, what could he possibly do 。These cold-demon spiders are terrifying, but as long as a few major families regain their composure, they can still be dealt with. Let's retreat for a while, but not all the way to the back. Otherwise, those cultivators who rush to the front to stem the tide might kill a few people to intimidate the retreating cultivators. 。Let's secure a good position first to effectively handle the upcoming battle with the swarm of spiders. 。"Lu Xia Tian saw that the two were at a loss, and still relied on these two brothers to go to Xuanyin Dao Zang, naturally he didn't want them to have any accidents." 。

The spider horde was surging like a rainbow, while the three great families' cultivators, with the Qi Refining cultivator leading the retreat, had lost their morale and were retreating one after another.

...Because Yan Ming, who was at the forefront before, now bore the brunt of several high-level Frostbite Spiders' pressure even more directly. ... 。The large legs of the frostbite spider whirred and slashed, and Yan Ming wielded his axe to block several attacks. But facing the three high-level frostbite spiders at the front who attacked relentlessly, he couldn't keep up for a moment. Those behind him were too late to help, and one frostbite spider shot out a black silk thread that stuck to Yan Ming's legs. 。Even Yan Ming, despite being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. His fists were no match for four hands. Among the four Foundation Establishment cultivators present, the other two belonged to different families. At this moment, within the swarm of spiders, they hesitated, unsure if they should fight alongside him against the demon beast in such a perilous situation. Though they didn't run away directly, under the threat of life and death, facing the charging spider horde, even a moment of hesitation could mean the difference between victory and defeat. 。In a piercing scream, a thick spider leg pierced the abdomen of Yan Ming, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. In the blink of an eye, Yan Ming was frozen into a large ice block, and even his primordial spirit was sealed within it. 。

The severity of Yan Ming's death only intensified the panic of the others.

However, the chaos here caught the attention of the three major families' main cultivators. 。Ten figures flew towards them, led by the two masters Yan Tie Lin and Lü Tian Lin. 。Thousands of Qi cultivators also rushed back. 。No sooner had they entered the reef cave than they lost Yan Ming, a formidable cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. As for Yan Tie Lin, the family's representative, he was enraged beyond measure, charging ahead with his archaic patterned yellow ape spear, sweeping it across and halving dozens of panicked Qi refining cultivators who were retreating in fear. 。"Everyone, follow me to slaughter the demonic beasts! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!" The earth-shattering roar made people's eardrums tremble. Before everyone could recover, Yan Tie Lin had already plunged his gun into a thick spider leg. 。After the construction phase, Yan Tie Lin, enraged, struck out. His sharp spear glow shattered one of the giant ice moth spider's thick legs, sending the massive creature flying backward dozens of meters. 。“Kill!” The high-ranking Frostbite Spider was held back by dozens of masters led by Yan Tieli, and the numerous Qi Refining cultivators naturally grew bolder. Fighting with the lower-ranked spider swarms was no longer daunting for them. 。Having fled in panic before, they also lacked the strength to battle high-level demonic beasts. 。“Lu Dao-you, fortunately you reminded us in time, otherwise we several probably wouldn't have died in those spider swarms, I estimate that just now we would have been wiped out by the head of the Yan family with a single shot.” 。Lu Hui still felt a chill down his spine at this moment. Because when they first discovered the spiritual being, they kept their composure and didn't rush forward to join in the commotion. They were originally at the end of the team. If they had run away with all their might just now, they would have definitely been the fastest to escape. 。At present, the top dozen or so who had fled were all slain by Yan Tie Lin in a fit of rage. If it hadn't been for Lu Xiao Tian's timely warning, perhaps the two brothers would be lying on the ground now. 。Well, thinking about it, it was really dangerous. 。Even Lü Feng, who was usually bold and fearless, was now drenched in cold sweat. 。"With a dozen or so Foundation Establishment predecessors leading the way, these swarms of spiders are no longer a concern. However, we still need to be careful. A few thousand Frostbite Spiders are not something to be taken lightly." 。Lu Xiaotian said softly. 。“Lu Daoyou, please be at ease. The three of us advance and retreat together. As long as we are not blinded by the immediate benefits, there will generally not be too much danger.” 。“Lü Feng said that as long as he didn't encounter those high-level frostweb spiders, he was still confident in dealing with them. After all, although low-level demon spiders were powerful, their intelligence was far inferior to high-level demon beasts. Moreover, they had healing medicines, pills to replenish spiritual power, spirit stones, and other means that low-level demon spiders couldn't compare to.” 。Now that the greatest survival crisis had been lifted, a large number of Qi refining cultivators returned. After all, the materials on the Chill Mosquito Spider and its demon pill were also valuable. Killing one could make a small profit. 。Lu Xia Tian, Lü Feng, and Lü Hui formed a triangle, constantly alternating who was at the front and then rotating to rest. 。Although they weren't scrambling to the front, this relatively tacit understanding of cooperation made their killing speed of the cold frost spider faster than that of several ordinary Qi Refinement Great Perfection cultivators. 。Lu Xia Tian fought the lower-ranked cold mantis spiders while also keeping a close eye on the battles between Yan Tie Lin and other Foundation Establishment cultivators against the higher-ranked cold mantis spiders. 。Compared to the high-level cold demon spiders, the three major families' foundation-building cultivators held an absolute advantage. Later, Lü Tianlin, the head of the Lü family, also joined the battle. A black iron crutch danced like a tiger with vigor, its power not inferior to Yan Tie's earth magic spear. The two of them jointly trapped and killed the only seventh-order cold demon spider, while more than ten other foundation-building cultivators besieged and killed dozens of fourth to sixth-order cold demon spiders, equivalent to mid-stage foundation-building cultivators. 。

With the loss of their high-level monster leader, the remaining low-level spider demon horde fell into disarray and were slaughtered by the Foundation Establishment cultivators. The morale of other Qi Refining period cultivators was soaring. After two hours, they left behind the corpses of over 2,000 low-level Frost Bite Demon Spiders, and the rest scattered.

However, over 200 low-ranking cultivators died in this fierce battle, and Yan Ming was the only Foundation Establishment cultivator who perished. 。The remaining small group of spiderlings were left unattended. After what happened with the cold-blooded spider, everyone was much more cautious. 。Next, everyone continued their search. They didn't miss any low, muddy pools or dark crevices along the way. The Foundation Establishment cultivator commanded a large number of Qi Refining cultivators to search almost every inch of the ground. 。After spending more than three hours in the vast cavern, Hu Qianshan, Lü Tianlin, and Yan Tie Lin sat together, their faces etched with worry. 。“Now it's only more than an hour before the tide turns back. If we can't find what we want by then, we'll have to return empty-handed.” 。"Yan Tie Lin said with a grim expression." 。"I thought it would be a very easy thing, who knew this reef cave would be so big " 。But luckily, we've almost finished searching. Only a few hidden places remain untouched because they are too dangerous for now. 。Before, I was concerned about the lives of those below. Now it seems, there will be some price to pay. We have waited for over ten years, we can't wait another ten years, wasting our time. 。Lü Tianlin's voice was deep and solemn. 。The most dangerous places there are only three. One is a glacial lake that has been accumulating ice for years, one is the previous cave of the frost moth spider, and the last is the lair of the tiger-patterned demon turtle. 。This tiger-patterned tortoise's strength is already close to the peak of foundation building, and its shell is so strong that even if we join forces, it would be difficult to break through its defenses. We can only drive a large number of cultivator monks in, attract its attention, and take the opportunity to search its cave while it's distracted, then withdraw. 。We cannot venture deep into Cold Lake, so we must desist. As for the Hantan Spider Cave, there are still hundreds of low-level demon spiders inside, which is also a considerable trouble. We will send a few Foundation Establishment cultivators to lead a team into the cave and search thoroughly. 。In short, at all costs 。A fierce light flashed in Hu Qianshan's eyes, and he said resolutely, 。"Well then, let it be done." 。"Yan Tie Lin's face darkened, he hesitated for a moment before quickly making a decision." 。Although cultivating a family is not easy, as long as there is even a sliver of a chance to become a Jindan cultivator, it is worth taking the risk. They only need to ensure the safety of their most direct descendants, and what does it matter if others live or die 。Once the Three Lords had made their decision, they immediately put it into action. The group of cultivators led by Lu Xia Tian was ordered to enter the lair of the Han Meng Zhu. 。Having received rigorous and harsh training from the past, these Foundation Establishment cultivators were extremely cautious and wouldn't readily risk their lives. Instead, they would have a large number of Qi Refining cultivators serve as cannon fodder. 。Though the spider colony was severely damaged, hundreds still retreated to their nests. 。Now the qi cultivators enter their lair, with nowhere left to turn. 。Like cornered beasts, these frigid web spiders were thoroughly roused to savagery. 。More than ten Qi Refining cultivators who entered first screamed and fought fiercely. The sounds of clashing weapons filled the air. 。Lu Jinyong, who was in charge of the team, waved his hand. The second team of Qi refining cultivators were also herded into the den. 。It seems like they really went all out, disregarding human lives so readily. 。"Lu Hui gritted his teeth and said in a low voice" 。"Go on in, look at these people's faces. Those who disobey orders, probably won't end well." 。Lü Feng was ashen-faced. He was being driven into the spider colony's lair, facing the desperate counterattack of hundreds of cold-mantis spiders. The dozen or so cultivators who had entered first were almost certain to perish. 。"To resist is to die, disobeying orders only leads to a quicker death. They are like everyone else, forced onto the chopping block with no way out." 。Luckily, I still have that Huíyuán Dan. If my magic power is completely depleted, taking it will allow me to hold on for a while longer. Compared to others, my chances of survival are much higher. 。Without much hesitation, a group of people, filled with fear and trepidation, entered the cave of the cold-winged spider. 。As soon as I stepped inside, a wave of cold hit me. Even though I was already in the later stages of Qi cultivation, I shivered from the cold. Dozens of ice-cold spiders, at the front, screeched and rushed towards me, regardless of their safety. 。This place is rather strange, it's actually freezing. With his cultivation base of building a foundation, when he used the spirit eye technique to look, the nest was deep and difficult to see the bottom. Moreover, the deeper he went, the heavier the cold air became. These frost web spiders were indeed extraordinary, not afraid of this strange cold at all. 。The dozen or so cultivators who had arrived before them had already been decimated, with half dead and the rest bearing nearly universal wounds. Upon seeing Lu Xiaoteng's group enter, they hurriedly huddled together in an attempt to face the threat collectively. 。Under the desperate counterattack of the spider horde, several more people died in an instant. However, even in this situation, they still had to fight hard and push forward, so that the monks behind them could have space to come in. 。

In the eyes of others, Lu XiaTian seemed to be struggling quite hard against the demon spider. Almost everyone found it difficult to persevere in this cold weather. It was better to fight outside the lair because there were more people and they had greater strength.

After entering the lair, one must also constantly expend energy to resist the relentless onslaught of cold. However, the frost spiders are accustomed to this frigid environment. Therefore, the battle between qi cultivators and the spider swarm is quite arduous. 。Fortunately, after some probing, several Foundation Establishment cultivators finally came in. With the addition of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the tense battle between the two sides once again became a one-sided slaughter. The cold had relatively little effect on the Foundation Establishment cultivators. 。

The remaining hundreds of cold-web spiders, led by the foundation cultivator, didn't hold out for much longer. Most were killed, and over thirty more screeched a few times before fleeing deeper into the nest.

“Search the ground thoroughly, discover any suspicious objects, and report immediately. If it’s something the family is looking for, there will be a generous reward!” Lü Jīngróng waved his hand, and behind him, cultivators kept pouring in. A few cultivators at the middle stage of Qi Refinement came in but couldn't stand it after a while. They retreated from the spider lair with pale faces. 。"This damned place is awfully cold." 。“Several people searched hundreds of meters along the way, and even Lü Huī and Lü Fēng, who were both accomplished cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, felt quite strained. They looked at Lu Xiaodao in surprise, “Lu Daoist friend, you don't seem to be afraid of this strange cold”

“Before entering the cave, I swallowed a fire-attribute spirit pill, so I can withstand it.” 。However, don't look at me either, I don't have any extra. 。Lu Xia Tian spread his hands, "Actually, it wasn't like that. Not to mention his Qi Refining cultivation base, just the Fire Jiao scale armor on his body had a good resistance to cold." 。"So that's how it is." 。Both of them knew that Lu Xiaoteng was a high-level alchemist, having swallowed a fire-attribute spirit pill that could resist the cold. It was understandable in this way. 。((
