As a lazy worker who lacked ambition, Shu Shu never expected to die while casually watching a show and transmigrate into the spirit beast of the female lead in a fantasy novel she had just finished...
The battle between Lu Li and the Silver Flame Spider lasted for half a day, and the underground nest was left in ruins due to the combined efforts of the two.
Both sides, as opponents, had quite a few injuries on their bodies.
The Silver Flame Spider had three legs severed and one of its horns missing.
Lu Li's left arm was also soaked in blood, and even his handsome face had several deep bloodstains. He managed to fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the Golden Core stage, and he was in no way inferior.
As the battle continued, they became increasingly courageous and energetic.
Faced with an opponent brimming with fighting spirit, the Silver Flame Spider, who reigned supreme in this region with its mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, also felt the urge to retreat and flee.
But Lu Li, who rarely encounters a worthy opponent, would not let it go so easily.
Seeing that the Silver Flame Spider was trying to escape, it immediately blocked its escape route.
Meeting Lu Li's indifferent gaze, the Silver Flame Spider knew that this person had his eye on it today. It immediately let out a hoarse howl and began to summon its minions.
Soon, large and small silver flame spiders began to swarm into the densely packed holes, quickly filling the vast space.
If someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably faint from fright.
Lu Li was completely unmoved by this. He merely smiled and glanced at the Spider King, who was trying to escape, before releasing Little Fire Spirit and Snow Spirit.
The two spirits had been eager to try for a long time. As soon as they came out, without Lu Li needing to give any instructions, they darted off in a flash, one spirit on each side, just like in a competition.
In the blink of an eye, all the silver flame spiders summoned by the Spider King were dealt with by the two spirits. As usual, half of them were burned to ashes, and the other half were frozen into ice sculptures.
The Spider King looked at his subjects who had become motionless in an instant, and at the half-empty field, and he truly felt fear and threat in his heart.
Just as it was about to summon more and more people from afar, Xue Ling suddenly attacked it, freezing the entire spider into an ice sculpture, which then crashed to the ground with a thud.
Looking at the Spider King, who was frozen into an ice sculpture but not completely dead, Lu Li's lips twitched. Could he say that he hadn't expected Xue Ling to suddenly make a move?
She glanced at Xue Ling, who had quietly hidden behind the little fire spirit after the Spider King fell.
In the end, Lu Li said nothing and simply put the Spider King ice sculpture away, setting it aside to use for practice later.
After glancing at the numerous ice sculptures present, he thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to waste any. He took out a storage ring and planned to store all the Silver Flame Spiders inside.
He saw that there were quite a few Silver Flame Fire Spiders at the Golden Core stage here. Whether he took them back to the sect or sold them in the market, it would be a source of income.
Thinking of this, Lu Li quickened his pace slightly as he walked toward the ice sculptures.
Unexpectedly, just as he put away the first ice sculpture, the storage ring in his hand was snatched away by the snow spirit, and at the same time, he heard its embarrassed voice: "I'll do it, I'll do it, hehe."
Clearly, this guy was worried that Lu Li would be angry with him for freezing the Spider King on his own initiative, and he wanted to please Lu Li by acting obediently and doing his bidding.
Lu Li simply raised an eyebrow at this and let it go; he wasn't really angry.
However, seeing Xue Ling's unusually enthusiastic attitude, he didn't interrupt it. Since it liked to work, let it do more.
Thus, the task of collecting the ice sculptures was taken over by Xue Ling. It not only quickly collected the ice sculptures, but also collected all the spider silk that could be seen around them.
Not only that, it also crawled into those holes and found many creatures cowering and hiding.
It only returned with the storage ring completely full, when it could fit no more, and handed it to Lu Li, its small face displaying a fawning smile.
Faced with such a little guy, Lu Li finally patted it gently: "I'm not angry."
Then, feeling reassured, Xue Ling became as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood, running around and playing with Xiao Huo Ling, which made Lu Li want to take back his words.
Of course, taking it back was impossible. In the end, Lu Li could only ignore the two super-powerful and noisy spirits, take a few healing pills to heal his injuries, and then release Shushu.
As soon as Shushu came out, she nervously looked her senior brother up and down to make sure he had no more injuries.
She then returned to her carefree self, nestled comfortably in his arms, and let him carry her.
Perhaps because the Spider King had been captured, its spiritual barrier was no longer there. Lu Li also found a cave among the densely packed holes that led to other distant places.
After probing the cave with his divine sense, he carried the millet and potatoes, followed by two spirits and a sword that insisted on coming out, and stepped into the cave together.
The cave was very dry, and spider silk could be seen at intervals, indicating that silver fire spiders usually roamed there.
Perhaps it's because they carry the aura of the Spider King, or perhaps it's because of the presence of the Little Fire Spirit and the Snow Spirit.
They didn't encounter another Silver Flame Spider on their journey and arrived directly at a cave.
"Senior Brother, is this the powerful mansion that trapped Fourth Senior Brother?"
Standing in front of the cave, which was covered in restrictions, Shushu glanced at the obvious signs that someone had walked around and asked Lu Li with some uncertainty.
Wasn't it said that the powerful being's former residence was in the inner perimeter of the Blazing Light Volcano? They were swallowed by the small black hole on the outer perimeter, and they were teleported to the inner perimeter? That's incredibly fast!
"That should be it. It's a mark left by your fourth senior brother."
Lu Li was also surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down and pointed to a mark on the stone tablet in front of the cave for Shushu to see.
Upon hearing this, Shushu quickly used her divine sense to approach the area. After clearly seeing the claw marks on the marks, she seemed to have guessed the true identity of her fourth senior brother.
However, before she could say anything, her attention was quickly drawn to the array beside her.
Looking at the familiar formation, Shushu examined it several times before confirming with Lu Li, "Senior Brother, isn't this formation similar to the one outside the Black Flame Secret Realm?"
After receiving Lu Li's nod, Shushu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lingju once said that the outermost array that trapped it was set up by people from its time. Could this really be the remnant of an ancient powerful being? Instantly, Shushu was filled with excitement.
Lu Li didn't say much about it. He gently patted her to signal her to be quiet, and then began to raise his hand to break the formation.
He learned this formation when he was training in Lingjun's secret realm.
