The three of them ran as quickly as possible to the lake that Mingcong had gone to. After passing through the forest, they saw a lake covered in thick fog. It was a very quiet place, but it was also full of weirdness.
As soon as Zizhou stepped onto the edge of the lake, he saw many small spiders crawling towards them along the lake water. If you didn't look carefully, no one would notice them.
"Be careful, there are all the young of the Bewitching Demon Spiders here. And since there are only young ones here, then the adults must be here too."
"Don't worry, I'll put them out without fire in a minute!"
After observing the terrain and the lake conditions, Zizhou thought of a way to freeze the lake here and first control the problem of being surrounded by the young Bewitching Demon Spiders.
"Mu Ningxue, freeze the lake first. Mo Fan, be ready to cast magic at any time. I will now check if there are any other threatening monsters around."
"good!"
"good!"
As soon as the two agreed, they started to work on their respective parts. Zizhou expanded the coverage of his mental power to the forest, constantly monitoring the surrounding situation and noticing the movements of the bewitching demon spider at the bottom of the lake.
"Watch out, it's coming."
After Zizhou finished speaking, he saw the middle part of the originally frozen lake suddenly crack, and a general-level bewitching demon spider broke through the ice. Zizhou reminded Mo Fa and Mu Ningxue.
"Be careful of its venom and wind blades. This kind of bewitching spider has amazing defenses. If you are touched by its venom, you will be corroded."
"Wow! I didn't expect it could do so many things. I thought it was just good at bewitching people."
As Mo Fan prepared to deal with the Bewitching Demon Spider, he couldn't help but complain about it.
Zizhou didn't turn around, but asked Mo Fan with a smile.
"Didn't we learn about this in high school? I remember there was even a chapter that focused on a case study, right?"
Mu Ningxue nodded.
“Yes.”
Mu Ningxue's words choked Mo Fan completely, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I was too focused on repairing my chain in high school, and didn't pay much attention during class. So what should we do now?"
After trying hard to recall the records of the Bewitching Demon Spider, Zizhou told Mo Fan what he knew.
"The Bewitching Demon Spider has strong defenses, but it is not without weaknesses. Its weaknesses are mainly in its abdomen and the eyes on its head. From our current position, it is too difficult to attack its abdomen. We can only start from its head."
As soon as the Bewitching Demon Spider arrived, it gave them a greeting gift of wind blades, but Zizhou and the others were on guard. Mu Ningxue, who was closest to the wind blade, directly moved her position with a wind track, Mo Fan escaped using the Blood Beast Boots, and Zizhou used space to move to another place.
Seeing that her wind blade didn't hurt anyone, the Bewitching Demon Spider attacked directly. Mu Ningxue threw the Wind Plate Heavenly Net at the Bewitching Demon Spider. Seeing this, Mo Fan also used the Rose Flame Nine Palaces to cooperate with Mu Ningxue's wind to increase the destructive power.
But unexpectedly, it had no effect on the Demonic Spider, but instead made it even more angry.
"What the hell, this guy's defense is too strong, I have Rose Flame, and this can't hurt it!"
When Zizhou heard Mo Fan's complaints, he felt that he could relate to them, but he still needed to remind Mo Fan.
"I've already told you that it has strong defense! Even spiritual fire won't have much effect on it!"
After trying several times, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue were unable to do anything to it. Zizhou was just about to use the third-level intermediate ice element to kill the Bewitching Demon Spider. Mu Ningxue took out an ice bow from somewhere. Just by standing aside, Zizhou could clearly feel the extraordinaryness of this bow. However, Zizhou also felt that this bow was incomplete and its energy was extremely unstable. It required a person's own life to activate and use it.
Zizhou hurriedly stopped Mu Ningxue.
"Mu Ningxue, it's just a Bewitching Demon Spider. There's no need to use it. Let me do it this time!"
Mo Fan also sensed the unusualness of this bow and stepped forward to stop Mu Ningxue from using it.
"Xuexue, we still have Zizhou here. There's no need for you to sacrifice so much. Isn't it time to do that now? We just need to cheer for Zizhou, ah!"
After saying this, he did not forget to wink at Zizhou. Zizhou understood what Mo Fan meant and nodded, indicating that Mo Fan was right.
But Mu Ningxue did not put it away. Instead, she held it in her hand and stared at the bewitching demon spider quietly.
It was then that Zizhou noticed that Mu Ningxue had been bewitched at some point, and now there was a red spot on her forehead. Zizhou hurriedly told Mo Fan.
"Don't try to persuade her. She has been bewitched. It's really hard to guard against her!"
"What!? As expected, no wonder I felt something was wrong with Xuexue just now!"
"Ice lock!"
Seeing that Zizhou actually used ice locks to tie up Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan wanted to stop him, but Zizhou's words made him give up.
"Do you want her to use the ice bow? I don't think you can stop her."
Knowing that he was a soft-hearted person, Mo Fan slowly put down his hand that was about to beg for mercy.
"You take care of her now, I'll take care of it soon!"
"Okay! Be safe!"
Zizhou reappeared in front of the Bewitching Demon Spider and led it to the other side. If a fight broke out, it would affect Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan who were still there.
With the help of trees, Zizhou jumped onto the back of the Bewitching Demon Spider, preventing it from using venom. However, the result was that Zizhou was forced to have an extreme collision. Fortunately, Zizhou was not thrown off by the Bewitching Demon Spider because of this. He almost used the space system to create a safe platform for himself to stand on, but from outsiders' perspective, Zizhou was just standing on the Bewitching Demon Spider.
Seeing that he was unable to do anything to Zizhou on his back, the Bewitching Demon Spider became even more angry. He screamed and summoned all the Bewitching Demon Spiders. Zizhou saw that the Bewitching Demon Spiders were looking for help even though he couldn't defeat them, and he couldn't help but think that this was a good opportunity to kill the spiders.
"Ice Field!"
This time, Zizhou did not hold back on his magic power. He used it at full speed and froze the lake and the surrounding woods, deliberately avoiding Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
All he saw was silver, and Mo Fan was stunned.
“Fuck, is it that awesome!?”
Mu Ningxue, who was still struggling, suddenly closed her eyes and fainted as if all her energy had been sucked away. Mo Fan hurriedly hugged her.
Zizhou didn't know about Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue's situation. He was dazzled by the equipment dropped by the Bewitching Demon Spider.
"It's actually the Heart of Bewitching. I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise! This thing should be what Jiao Miguo needs!"
"Host! Host! With this, our summoning system can be advanced to the next level, and then the contracted beasts can also be arranged on the itinerary! 』
Hearing Jiao Miguo's voice as if he was about to jump for joy, Zizhou also laughed. He put the Heart of Bewitching into the space and handed it to Jiao Miguo. This Heart of Bewitching could take Jiao Miguo's mental control to a higher level.
Before Zizhou could be happy for long, he heard Mo Fan calling him.
When Zizhou rushed over, he found that Mu Ningxue had fainted. Before Zizhou could say anything, Mo Fan asked Zizhou if he recognized the bow that Mu Ningxue was holding.
"I don't know about this bow. I can feel that it is not a complete version, and it will reduce the life of the user. If we want to curb this problem, we have to find and repair the other fragments of this bow before we can think of other things."
"Then can we not use it?"
Zizhou thought about it, and since he couldn't lie to Mo Fan, he told him what he knew.
"I don't know about that. I'm not Mu Ningxue. I can't guarantee it if she wants to use it! Besides, it won't disappear even if it's not used. This bow gives me the feeling that it's connected to the soul and can't be taken out at all!"
Mo Fan was shocked!
"What? How did you know?"
Zizhou rolled his eyes and didn’t want to talk to Mo Fan anymore.
"Aren't you studying hard? This is common sense! Weapons like this usually require soul nourishment. Didn't you notice that this bow and Mu Ningxue seemed to be one when you first saw it?"
"Forget it. You are so crude and don't understand that feeling. You won't understand even if I tell you! Let's go. Now is not the time for us to discuss this. Mu Nujiao and the others are still waiting for us."
Mo Fan didn't say anything else. The most important thing now was to leave this place. It was too scary. This place was not something they, as students, could handle.
