"There's movement." Feng Ce stopped and looked around carefully. His expression suddenly changed, "We've been fooled."
Wen Qi tutted his tongue in annoyance and asked, "What?"
Feng Ce's eyes shone coldly as he said, "This is not where Xu Ye is hiding, but Spider-Man's lair. It is also a trap he prepared specifically for us."
Wen Qi also realized that it was no wonder that they kept going deeper but could not get close to Xuye. It was not that they took the wrong road, but that there was no road leading to Xuye. She felt angry, but she still suppressed it and said, "Get out first."
Feng Ce did not move, "It's too late, we are already deep in the nest."
As soon as the words fell, rustling sounds were heard in the surrounding passages, and pairs of eyes glowing red lit up in the dark passages.
Wen Qi didn't wait for them to attack. He cast an earth spell, directly sealing all the entrances to the passages. Then he rushed straight upwards with Feng Ce, breaking through layers of thick soil and returning to the ground.
Feng Ce frowned. The place where they were just now was at least ten meters above the ground. It would consume too much energy to rush up directly relying on soul power. But it must be said that this method really saves time and can break the predicament in one fell swoop.
After Wen Qi came up, he let out a breath, and a flash of fatigue flashed across his eyes.
Feng Ce was a little surprised that Wen Qi recovered too quickly.
Underground, the space where virtual industry is located.
This is a circular space with a diameter of ten meters. There is a formation set up in the front, and inside the formation are countless souls crowded together.
Xuye was sitting cross-legged in front of the magic circle, and next to him stood a hooded man, who was none other than Boss Jin who had never appeared before.
Boss Jin was now very anxious. He paced back and forth beside Xuye, complaining in a low voice, "They are here! This is different from what we agreed before. You said it would not affect my normal life! But now my B&B is ruined! The people are going to be arrested!"
Xuye was very calm. "If my experiment succeeds, the whole world will be at our feet. What's a small B&B? By then, we will be the masters of the world."
Boss Jin paused, as if he was trapped in the beautiful future woven by Xuye, but he soon came to his senses, "You also said that it was a if!"
Xuye was a little impatient, frowned slightly and said: "If you keep immersing yourself in such pessimism, I may have to reconsider our cooperation relationship."
Reconsider cooperation? Boss Jin looked at the souls in pain in the formation, and a chill spread from the bottom of his heart. He had already participated. If he quit at this time, Xuye would never let him leave alive. The biggest possibility was that he would become one of these souls.
Boss Jin swallowed his saliva, and regret rose in his heart again. Why did he believe Xuye's lies in the first place? This man obviously wanted to use him! Xuye didn't care about his thoughts at all. He chuckled and said, "Go, stop them. It only takes ten minutes and we can leave."
Boss Jin was silent for two seconds, then turned and left. He had heard of Wen Qi's strength, and ten minutes was easy to say, but one bad move would cost him his life.
On the ground, Wen Qi had already walked right above Xu Ye. Her soul power surged and she was about to punch him when the ground suddenly cracked and a black shadow struck her heart like lightning.
Wen Qi's expression froze, he stepped back, and when he looked over, his face was full of shock.
The thing that just attacked her turned out to be a spider leg!
At this time, the spider's remaining legs also stretched out from the ground, grabbed the ground and jumped up with force.
Wen Qi looked up and took a deep breath. She had never seen such a strange and huge spider, not even in the escape game.
This giant spider is five meters tall, almost as tall as two stories. It is pitch black and surrounded by a spooky ghostly aura. Its mouthparts are so huge that it looks like it can swallow a person in one bite. The most terrifying thing is the eight eyes on its head. Each one is like a searchlight, locking onto the prey and waiting for the opportunity to kill it with one blow.
Wen Qi took two steps back, rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and said with disgust: "This thing is not alive, I leave it to you." It's really disgusting, and it's eye-irritating just to look at it.
Feng Ce also felt that this thing was an eyesore, so he nodded and said, "Go wait in the back, it will be ready soon."
The order the giant spider received was to kill Wen Qi. Seeing Wen Qi retreating as if he was trying to escape, the spider screamed and wanted to chase him, but as soon as it took a step, there was a "bang" sound, as if it hit something.
But there is clearly nothing in front! Wen Qi also said, "Is it a barrier?"
No, the barrier will not move, but the transparent "wall" is squeezing the spider's living space. What's more, there is not just one transparent "wall", but all around, trapping the spider in a square space that is constantly shrinking.
Feng Ce did it nonchalantly without even moving his fingers. The square space shrank rapidly, crushing the giant spider directly into a dense area of ghost energy. Then the square space lit up slightly, shrank rapidly, and finally annihilated along with the ghost energy inside.
Wen Qi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow!" He really is worthy of being the King of Fengdu. His methods are unpredictable.
Almost at the same time, a painful groan was heard from the forest on the left.
Wen Qi's eyes moved, and he rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
Feng Ce frowned and looked over, hesitated and did not move. What if this was Xu Ye's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and when they came back Xu Ye ran away, Wen Qi would be furious.
The man was bleeding from all his orifices and had fainted. He had a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, very typical features of a person from southern Xinjiang.
Wen Qi guessed: "This person should be Boss Jin, who was also the owner of the giant spider just now. The spider died, and he was also attacked."
Feng Ce nodded and added: "He's not dead yet, but he'll probably be a fool after waking up."
Wen Qi sneered, "This is the price of being an accomplice to a tiger."
Underground, Xu Ye, who realized that something had happened to Boss Jin, turned pale and cursed, "This piece of trash!" Let alone ten minutes, he couldn't even last one minute!
Wen Qi was eager to catch Xuye. Before going down, she said to Feng Ce, "Xuye must have prepared a way to leave quickly. If he wants to run, can you help stop him? But be careful! Don't hurt him!"
Feng Ce smiled and nodded, "I know, it's not worth it to be bitten by the rules for something like this."
Wen Qi also smiled, "I'm glad you understand. I'll go down first, you get ready."
Feng Ce warned: "Be careful of his dirty tricks."
Wen Qi jumped straight down, and not long after she saw Xu Ye with his back to her and a formation in front of him that was filled with souls.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and did not rush forward. She stood three steps away from Xuye and asked, "Why aren't you running?"
Xuye sighed, "With that person outside, how can I escape?"
Wen Qi's heart skipped a beat. "Do you know his identity?"
Xuye stood up, turned to face her, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can guess that it should be some big shot from the underworld."
Wen Qi curled his lips, smiling beyond his eyes, "You guessed right. You should also know that there is no place for you in both the Yin and Yang worlds. Your fate is already determined."
Xuye still shook his head, with a bit of madness in his eyes, "No one can decide my fate. Only I can write my ending."
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle behind him suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and souls flew out, surrounding Xu Ye, carrying him to the ground. At the same time, the magic circle condensed into a ball and fell into his hands.
Feng Ce on the ground noticed the movement but did not move. He watched with cold eyes as Xu Ye broke out of the ground and slowly rose into the air.
Wen Qi also jumped out, looking very ugly, "This beast! He actually used his soul to escort me away!"
Xuye looked down at them and said, "I look forward to meeting you next time."
The spatial fluctuations were already obvious. The backup plan left by Xuye turned out to be a space teleportation array! This was simply not something that humans could master!
Wen Qi was concerned about the living souls around him and didn't dare to act rashly. He could only use words to provoke, "Didn't you say last time that you would use me as a test material? I've delivered myself to your door! Why are you running away? Coward!"
Xuye's eyes darkened and he sneered, "Don't worry, the best materials should be saved for the most appropriate time. When the time comes, I will naturally come to take your soul."
Wen Qi was about to speak when he heard a sound of breaking air in the distance. He looked up and saw Taoist Master Xuwu, whom he had not seen for a long time! Taoist Master Xuwu stopped in front of Xuye on a flying sword.
Xuye looked at him in a daze, his lips moved a few times but he was unable to open his mouth. Instead, he silently activated the formation, and the spatial fluctuations suddenly became stronger.
Taoist Master Xuwu had no intention of reminiscing about the past with him. He flicked the dust in his hand, and it immediately turned into thousands of silver threads, which entangled Xuye.
Xuye's expression changed, and he shouted, "Don't you care about the lives of these souls?"
Taoist Master Xuwu's face was icy, "Today I will clean up my sect and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver thread passed through the gap between the living souls and attacked Xuye! In the air, Xuye screamed and used all his strength to activate the formation. As the wailing of souls sounded, the fluctuations in space suddenly intensified, and a dark crack opened in the sky, swallowing Xuye inside, and closed instantly.
Taoist Master Xuwu sighed upon seeing this, "He finally got away, but it's still a gain." The silver thread retracted, revealing the living soul wrapped inside.
Wen Qi smiled. At least these people's lives were saved. They just might have to remain vegetative for a while and take good care of their souls.
She turned to look at Feng Ce, only to see that the latter's face was as gloomy as water, and the anger in his eyes seemed to materialize.
The smile on Wen Qi's face froze, and he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" (End of this chapter)
