In the cave passage, those sleeping vines had already transformed after absorbing Ling Yunzhi's spiritual blood. They were no longer the withered branches they used to be, but had grown lushly and were as gorgeous as fire.
More and more blood-red flowers grew.
This sleeping vine finally revealed its "magic flower" side. There was no wind in the passage, but it was swaying gently. The enchanting branches were like poisonous snakes, coiled in the air.
Fortunately, the sleeping vine will not attack actively, but will only passively suck blood. Otherwise, Xue Kong would have taken action long ago to suppress the demon flower.
There are five blood-colored flowers in total.
In the heart of the flower, there lies quietly a red fruit the size of an eyeball. The fruit is smooth and bright, like a red pearl, extremely beautiful.
Xue Kong knew that the ground-sleeping fruit was not yet fully ripe, otherwise it would automatically fall off from the center of the flower and drop to the ground.
The next thing to do is to wait.
Xue Kong simply dragged the bodies of the two monks away, piled them together, and threw a small fireball, causing the bodies to burn and provide brief illumination.
He sat cross-legged not far away, opened his storage bag and counted the items inside.
The items in the young man's storage bag were mixed, and Xue Kong didn't need much. He left behind a total of 374 low-grade spirit stones, 17 unknown pills, and a bottle of demon blood from an unknown monster.
Apart from this, the only item that he would be interested in was a mechanical puppet with a strength of about the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
This mechanical puppet is made of green wood and looks like a real spider. There is a dark pattern of the word "Yue" on its back. Each leg has two joints, and each joint has a small hole.
Xue Kong released his spiritual power and injected it into the spider puppet.
Suddenly, the spider puppet's originally dull eyes became lively. It turned its eyeballs and looked at Xue Kong, as if confirming who its master was this time.
At the same time, its ten legs all crawled towards Xue Kong.
Xue Kong raised his hand and pointed at it, and the spider puppet immediately stopped in place, allowing Xue Kong to look at it.
"I don't know much about the art of mechanical puppetry, but this spider puppet is a finished product now, so I don't need to spend too much time on it. As long as I imprint my spiritual consciousness into the puppet, I can control it freely."
"Yue? I think this is the item of the ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivator from the Yue Family Villa."
Unless it is a natal magic weapon or a spirit beast, generally speaking, if the owner dies, the spiritual consciousness imprinted on them will disappear. As long as others obtain it and imprint their own spiritual consciousness on it, they can control it.
Xue Kong easily imprinted his spiritual consciousness on the spider puppet.
In his mind, a close connection with the spider puppet gradually emerged.
"Go." Xue Kong activated his cultivation and began to familiarize himself with the spider puppet.
Seeing the spider puppet's ten legs crawling quickly on the ground, it was so fast that it disappeared from the spot without even leaving an afterimage. Xue Kong himself couldn't even see it clearly.
He could only rely on the connection between himself and the spider puppet in his heart and turned to look at the stone wall behind him.
But I saw that the spider puppet had climbed up the stone wall at some point.
The next second, he was on the stone wall above Xue Kong's head again, tapping his two legs on the stone wall, making a rhythmic sound of "da da da".
"Its power is far more than that." Xue Kong's eyes flashed. If it was just fast in movement, it would not be worthy of the strength of the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
Under Xue Kong's mental command, the spider puppet raised its abdomen and shot out a transparent spider silk from the spinning device behind its abdomen. The spider silk was made of spiritual power and could not be captured by the eyes, but could only be perceived by spiritual consciousness.
The spider silk flew past Xue Kong, pierced into the stone on the ground beside him, and sank into it.
Xue Kong squatted down and planned to pick up the stone to check it.
As soon as he applied force, the stone broke into countless small pieces with a snap.
Xue Kong's eyes lit up as he scanned the rubble with his spiritual sense. He was shocked to discover that among the countless rubble, there were countless spider silk threads. Those spider silk threads were even shorter and denser, as if...
"Once the spider silk hits the target, it will split into countless strands and splash out!"
Xue Kong was pleasantly surprised: "This spider puppet is not only fast, but the silk it spits out is sharper than a knife blade. Its concealment and destructive power are both unparalleled."
It is worthy of being a mechanical puppet at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.
At the same time, Xue Kong felt a little scared. If the young man used this spider puppet to deal with him, regardless of whether he could kill him, it would at least make him feel very difficult.
In fact, the young man did not notice the existence of the spider puppet.
After killing the monks from Qinglang Sect and Yue Family Villa and taking away their storage bags, the young man threw all the things into his own storage bag without even looking at them.
He chased Xue Kong all the way, but Xue Kong escaped again and again. He had already become depressed and irritable. He didn't even have time to rest, let alone count the things he had obtained.
This can be seen from the messy pile and various clothes in the storage bag.
Xue Kong stretched out his hand and the spider puppet quickly returned to his palm. Only by observing it closely could Xue Kong see that the puppet was made with incredible precision.
However, it is not made using ordinary methods.
Xue Kong could smell a faint scent of blood on this spider puppet, and inside it was the broken soul of a monster, continuously providing power to the puppet.
The materials used to make this spider puppet must contain blood.
To drive it, in addition to using the spiritual power of the controller, it also consumes the soul power of the monster.
This is somewhat similar to the Nine Ghosts Soul Moving Technique practiced by Xue Kong.
In addition, Xue Kong discovered that the spider puppet could not only spit out spider silk from the spinner at the back of its abdomen, but also from the two small holes at the joints of each of its legs.
If you use all your strength and ignore the consumption of the internal demon beast's soul power, you can spit out twenty-one spider silks at the same time.
This discovery made Xue Kong's eyes fixed.
Twenty-one spider silk threads that can only be captured by spiritual consciousness, and after hitting the target, the spider silk threads will splash out.
The scope of this attack is really too wide.
Xue Kong even began to wonder in his heart, why didn't Yue Dai of Yue Family Villa use this spider puppet before being killed by the young man, or why was he still killed even if he used it?
Of course he didn't know.
He was emotionally indifferent, and even his entire clan was able to refine pills out of blood, so naturally he couldn't understand the family cohesion of Yue Family Villa.
Of course, Yue Dai was easily killed, which was also related to Xue Kong.
He detonated the black toad's corpse, creating a large cloud of foul mist, which made Yue Dai afraid to use the spider puppet for fear of hurting his family members. This gave the young man an opportunity to quickly kill him.
The ninth level of Qi Condensation seems powerful, but it is equally fragile in front of the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
Every time Xue Kong escaped, he was one step ahead of the young man, making all kinds of calculations, from weak to strong, making the young man exhausted both physically and mentally, and making him careless. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the young man as soon as they met.
In the end, he had to use the dragon to seriously injure the young man, and only then did Xue Kong have the opportunity to kill him.
If Xue Kong knew the truth, he would definitely laugh at Yue Dai for his short-sightedness and soft-heartedness. In the end, he not only lost his own life, but also lost all his clansmen. He was simply stupid.
If it were him, he would probably attack without hesitation and kill everyone at the same time.
