The further in you go, the more smoke begins to rise from beneath Zuo Qingya's feet.
"Ahua, you wait outside first. I'll go in. There's too much corrosive liquid here."
Xia Hua knew she was weak, so she didn't go in and waited outside.
"If you're free, you can also remove those pupae, but be careful, the people inside should still be alive."
Xia Hua nodded: "Okay! I'll take care of this."
Xia Hua was still a little worried when she saw Zuo Qingya go in.
Zuo Qingya comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it soon."
Xia Hua nodded emphatically: "Okay!"
"Dealing with an old spider is nothing. Don't you know my capabilities?"
Zuo Qingya gave Xia Hua a reassuring look, "It's alright! My strength is at the Nascent Soul Realm! That old spider is at most at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I'm much stronger than it!"
"No problem, it'll be taken care of quickly."
Hearing Zuo Qingya say that, Xia Hua felt much more at ease: "Okay, then! Be careful."
Zuo Qingya gave an OK sign and continued walking forward.
The further in they went, the wider the road became. In the distance, Zuo Qingya saw a spider lying on a pile of grass.
Upon seeing Zuo Qingya enter, the old spider opened its eyes and stared intently at her.
Zuo Qingya looked at where the spider was lying. Could there be baby spiders underneath? There seemed to be quite a lot of them. Spiders reproduce so quickly; a single nest could easily have thousands of offspring.
A spider fell from above Zuo Qingya's head, as if it were a signal. Many spider webs fell from above, and then the spiders kept swarming towards Zuo Qingya.
Fortunately, Zuo Qingya was prepared and had a defensive shield, so no one was able to hit her at all.
The large spider lying on the haystack became agitated, raising all eight of its legs and beginning to attack Zuo Qingya.
Zuo Qingya didn't make any other moves, instantly killing the old spider with one move. She felt that if she moved even a little more, she would be letting down her strength.
After dealing with the old spider, only the small spiders remained. Her method was simple: she directly collected all the small spiders into her consciousness space, saving time and effort. Moreover, she collected a large number of them into her consciousness space, and with a single thought, all the spiders were dead.
With another thought, the crystal core was extracted and stored in the space.
After dealing with the old spider, Zuo Qingya left.
Xia Hua was overjoyed to see Zuo Qingya return. "Zuo Qingya, you're back?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, looking at the people lying on the ground, all of them sticky and gooey, which was a bit disgusting!
"Wake them all up! Otherwise, this won't work."
"??? But I can't wake him up no matter what I do!"
"I have a way to do that."
Zuo Qingya took a fruit out of her backpack. "Hehe... I'll use this."
Xia Hua asked curiously, "What is this?"
Zuo Qingya chuckled twice more, "This is a good thing. Just one sniff will definitely wake them up."
Xia Hua was a little incredulous. After all, she couldn't wake him up no matter what she did. Could he have woken up just by smelling this one fruit? That was a bit too much of a shock!
Zuo Qingya was afraid that Xia Hua had underestimated the power of this stinky fruit. Thinking about it, Zuo Qingya shook her head. She had experienced it before. She had accidentally broken the fruit while picking it, and the smell hit her face. It made her, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, faint. Just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed.
“Ah Hua, don’t underestimate the power of this fruit.”
Zuo Qingya waved her hand: "Forget it, I'll just add an isolation spell for you! Once this smell is isolated, nothing will happen."
All done, isolation spell.
Xia Hua took the fruit, gently broke the skin, and shoved it directly under the person's nose. In an instant, the person sat up straight, sniffed it, and then vomited.
"What's that smell? It stinks!"
Seeing that the person had woken up, Xia Hua moved on to the next person, only to have the same action and the same result.
Once everyone was awake, Zuo Qingya took the Stinky Fruit back and set up an isolation spell around it before putting it into her consciousness space.
This is a stinky fruit that can stink up even a Golden Core cultivator, how could it be just ordinary juice? We should keep it; we might need it later.
"Alright! You're all awake, let's go!"
Someone coughed a few times and said in a trembling voice, "There's a giant spider inside that's incredibly powerful. We'd better run!"
Zuo Qingya said casually, "Oh! That big spider, it's already dead."
"What? He's already dead? Who killed him?"
Zuo Qingya tapped her nose. "It's me. What's wrong?"
How did you kill it?
Zuo Qingya made an excuse and said, "You smelled that stench just now, didn't you? I used that stuff to kill them with the stench."
"Alright, let's hurry up and meet up with the others, otherwise they'll worry."
"Then let's go!"
"Hmm... Let's hurry up and go, so the people outside won't worry. After all, we haven't been out for a long time."
"Alright, let's go!"
When everyone came out of the cave, they found that everyone else had already come out, and only they were left.
"How is it? What's the situation inside?"
"It's all fine now, but we need to fill in and reinforce this hole."
"That's to be expected."
Another day passed just like that. Zuo Qingya lay in her new residence and felt alright. It was much better than the place she stayed the night before last. At least there weren't as many people. Thinking about the purpose of her visit, she decided to open the shop. Once the small general store was up and running, there wouldn't be so much trouble. She would leave after opening the shop and find a place to cultivate first.
Without hesitation, Zuo Qingya opened the small general store and turned on the plus sign, changing it from five to six. The store was successfully opened. Now, she just had to wait for the results tomorrow morning!
Sure enough, when she woke up early in the morning, she saw that it was bustling outside, like a New Year's celebration. Zuo Qingya was already used to this kind of situation, after all, she now owned six stores! As long as there was stock, she could use up as many points as she wanted, because the items in the system store were just too expensive, ridiculously expensive.
"Ahua, let's go today!"
Xia Hua asked in confusion, "Are you leaving now? Have you finished your business?"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes... it's all done."
"So fast?"
"Yes! Let's go!"
After leaving the Apocalypse Shelter, Zuo Qingya and Xia Hua headed into the forest.
Zuo Qingya whistled.
The roar of a tiger could be heard from the mountains.
Zuo Qingya went towards the sound of the tiger's roar.
Zuo Qingya grabbed Xia Hua by the back of her collar and flew away.
"Wait..." Xia Hua was struggling to breathe because of the tight clothes.
When Zuo Qingya was discovered, her face had already turned purple.
