"Fellow Daoists, hold on! If necessary, I'll just activate the talisman directly!"
Chen Xue looked behind her, where there was also a fork in the road. One of the passages emitted a strong aura of demonic beasts. Although there were fewer of them, they were still stronger than the white apes she had encountered earlier!
If the monsters inside also come out and attack from both sides, they will surely be trapped in a desperate situation.
There is no other way but to use talismans and treasures.
For a moment, Chen Xue hesitated. Although they had the talisman in hand, which was like a powerful weapon and a stabilizing force, giving them confidence.
However, they encountered such danger as soon as they entered the demon's lair.
They had only been in the demon's lair for a short time, and there was still a long way to go before reaching their final destination.
Although the talisman can be activated several times, if we use it now, what will we do next?
For a moment, she felt that this seemed like an impossible task.
She saw this point, and Lin Xiuyuan and the others naturally thought of it as well, and did not feel any more relieved because of these words.
A strange look appeared on everyone's faces.
"If this continues, it looks like we're in a dead end!"
Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, gripping a stack of talismans tightly, constantly watching the movements behind him, ready to throw them at any moment.
but.
Suddenly, the terrifying vampire bats in front of them receded like a tide.
In a short time, those countless pairs of scarlet eyes, which seemed densely packed together, completely disappeared.
"this……"
Chen Shaorong smoothly withdrew his sword, his expression slightly taken aback. Then, a guess appeared on his face, and he said, "Perhaps it's because it sensed the aura of another powerful demon beast clan, so it retreated?"
The others seemed to be thinking about this as well, and felt that this was indeed the case.
The demon's lair must have existed for a very long time, and it is clear that it is governed by some kind of unseen rules.
Furthermore, based on the information available, the lower one goes, the stronger the monsters become. This suggests a strict hierarchical system has formed, where unauthorized entry into the territory of other monster clans could trigger war between them.
This conjecture felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from everyone's hearts, and the oppression and strange feeling in their hearts immediately dissipated.
However, everyone was still not completely relieved.
The aura of demonic beasts emanating from behind suddenly intensified.
Having witnessed such a scene once, everyone immediately realized what it meant and turned around to prepare for battle.
Chen Shaorong, the woman dressed in palace attire, and the old man surnamed Wei quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd again, looking ahead with cold expressions.
The next moment.
From the passage on the right, dark figures emerged, scrambling swiftly along the walls on both sides and even above, continuously pouring out of the passage.
Each creature moved swiftly with its eight slender yet incredibly strong legs, its body covered in dense black and brown fur, and each had six or eight eyes on its head, gleaming with an eerie light, coldly staring at the group.
Thus, a chilling sense of impending doom gradually enveloped the area.
These spiders are enormous, the largest appearing to be half a person's height, while the smallest are knee-sized.
There were dozens of them in total. Although the number was not large, they were all exceptionally powerful, all of them at or above the late stage of Qi Refining, and nearly a third of them were at the Great Perfection stage.
"These are ordinary cave spider king monsters. Although they are not particularly powerful spiders, they are huge, their bodies are as hard as iron, and the spider silk they spit out is very sticky and difficult to cut, possessing a powerful binding force."
"But don't worry, although this spider is called the Spider King, it is only named because of its huge size and it is not poisonous."
Chen Xue said slowly.
Although his tone was light, his expression remained solemn.
Because these are numerous and of high quality, with nearly a dozen or twenty Great Perfection Qi Refining Earth Spider Kings forming a terrifying combat force!
Lin Xiuyuan immediately threw out earth and wood magic talismans to hinder their advance.
Then Chen Shaorong, Chen Xue, and the other four launched a series of attacks, intending to kill these cave spider kings.
At first, the attacks erupted simultaneously, immediately killing several, but they were all at the late stage. Upon seeing this, the Great Perfection Cave Spider Kings quickly stepped forward, continuously unleashing their spiritual power to reinforce themselves, and with their stiff demonic bodies, they managed to withstand the attack.
Because these individuals are extremely powerful, unlike the vampire bats, they cannot be easily frozen by wooden or earth magic runes.
In a short time, the group of cave spider kings in front of them was about to break through.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan had no choice but to throw out talismans again to slow down the attack of these cave spider kings, so that the other five people could launch a further offensive and quickly kill or force back these cave spider kings.
However, these cave spider kings were clearly much smarter. They directly arranged for powerful cave spider kings at the Great Perfection Realm to stand in front, using all their spiritual power to form a protective barrier. With their incredibly hard bodies, they managed to withstand the onslaught.
This makes it difficult to generate effective damage in a short period of time.
As they stubbornly resisted, the cave spider kings behind them continuously broke through the power of the talisman. Each of their six slender, steel-like legs, shimmering with black light, flashed constantly, like sharp swords piercing and severing vines and branches, rendering the wooden talisman unable to bind them at all.
Those earthen walls were smashed to pieces by the direct impact.
In this way, the power of talismans alone is no longer enough to stop it.
Only by unleashing a large number of top-tier and high-tier talismans at once can an effective barrier be formed.
However, this was clearly impossible. In such a dangerous environment, Lin Xiuyuan needed to conserve his magical power, and there was still a long way to go. He needed to use the talismans wisely, otherwise they would soon be exhausted.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to activate their spirit shields and step forward to block, coordinating with the talismans to prevent the attack.
Only in this way could a stalemate be barely achieved, with the enemy fighting and retreating simultaneously.
Simply by manipulating the spirit shield to defend while facing the Earth Spider King's hard-line formation, it was difficult to achieve any effective results.
The only way is to slowly wear them down, launching continuous attacks to gradually defeat these cave demon kings.
The group continued to resist as they slowly ventured deeper into the passage.
Soon, just like before, as they fought and retreated, they arrived at the third monster's lair.
These cave spider kings slowly retreated...
Those with experience kept serious expressions, cautiously looking ahead while seizing the opportunity to quickly refine the medicinal power of the Spirit Gathering Pill and restore their mana.
Sure enough, not long after, dark figures began to appear in the passage on the right...
