"This artifact truly lives up to its name."
Xie Zhou couldn't help but murmur his admiration, but even though Kunwu was a divine weapon-level sword, it didn't harm these black cocoons in the slightest.
On the black cocoon, a white halo remained in the center, and the color actually became brighter and brighter.
"Oh no! Get out of the way!"
The system issued a warning, and in the next instant, white energy burst forth, and the black cocoon actually reflected back the pure energy sword aura.
"Wow!"
Xie Zhou retreated rapidly, leaping away to narrowly avoid the sword energy. She rolled into the grass, two weeds stuck in her hair, and her white clothes were stained with mud.
"What the hell! This thing just absorbed the sword energy!"
Xie Zhou angrily removed the leaf from his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Oh no, they seem to have cracked open! They not only rebounded the energy, but also absorbed some of it! You... seem to have indirectly accelerated their evolution..."
The story of "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead" perfectly describes Xie Zhou himself.
"Holy crap, that's insane!"
Xie Zhou picked up his sword while cursing, and without saying a word, walked in another direction.
This place is not safe to stay for long, nor is this Ghost Forest!
"Hurry up, take my sister to find Luo Fantian right away, I need to bring Luo Fantian back to us immediately!"
Xie Zhou urged.
At this moment, in the distant Frost Palace, Lingfeng, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He formed a hand seal, exhaled a long breath, and his eyes were full of complex and conflicted expressions.
"After all these years, are you finally willing to show yourself?"
After saying that, Lingfeng's figure disappeared on the spot.
"Turn left up ahead and you'll be there! Hurry up!"
The system couldn't help but laugh at Xie Zhou's flustered appearance.
"System, tell me what you're saying. You keep saying you'll give me some help when I want to do bad things, but I almost managed to kill innocent people indiscriminately just now, and you didn't even help me."
Hearing Xie Zhou's words, the system was so angry that it wanted to roll its eyes.
"My sister, you'd better hurry up and rescue Luo Fantian."
The system was helpless.
"arrive!"
"Holy crap, where am I?!"
Deep in the dark, damp jungle, a large spider web blocked Xie Zhou's path.
If the jungle over there was relatively normal except for some black cocoons, this place is even more terrifying.
"What exactly are these densely packed things? They're giving me goosebumps."
Xie Zhou felt goosebumps all over his body.
Behind the spider web lay corpses, bloated beyond recognition. It was clear that these corpses had been dead for a long time, their bodies covered with black cocoons of all sizes. The stench from this place was enough to make one want to vomit.
"These should all be little spiderlings, but why does the smell here seem so familiar?"
A slightly puzzled voice came from Xie Zhou's mind.
"A spider...we think we killed a spider that day too..."
As Xie Zhou spoke, he felt his stomach churning, and he felt like he was going to vomit up everything he had eaten a few days ago.
"We killed a female spider that day, could it be a male spider this time?"
The system looked like something terrible had happened.
"This is disgusting! Let's save people and get out of here!"
Xie Zhou had never seen such a scene before, and he swung his sword to cut the spider web in half.
"System, report Luo Fantian's location in real time. Rescue him and get out of here immediately!"
Xie Zhou continued forward into the place filled with cobwebs and corpses.
...
Outside the Ghost Forest.
"Immortal Venerable, the Devouring Beasts are rampant. For some reason, they have broken through the seal and come out."
The eight elders sensed the approaching Ling Fengque and respectfully stepped aside.
"Devouring Beast?"
Lingfeng's brows furrowed even more deeply, his amber eyes devoid of any emotion.
That familiar aura wafted from the depths of the Ghost Forest again, but Lingfeng stood with his hands behind his back.
"Cooperate with me fully."
As soon as he finished speaking, sword energy surged forth, and the flowing white robes rose into the air. The white sword energy continued to slash down, overwhelming even the Devouring Beast.
...
"Boom boom boom!"
Xie Zhou was on her way when suddenly, a rumbling sound in the ghost forest startled her.
"What is this thing again! It seems to be coming from the Devouring Beasts!"
Xie Zhou exclaimed in surprise.
"It's Ling Fengque! Ling Fengque has arrived!"
The system shouted in Xie Zhou's mind.
"Immortal Venerable? That's perfect, he should come to save Luo Fantian, right?"
For some reason, Xie Zhou felt relaxed upon hearing Ling Feng's voice.
"Um... I forgot to tell you something."
The system is a bit choppy.
"Stop dawdling, get to the point!" Xie Zhou frowned.
"The sword you're holding is the one Xie Zhou used to use."
Upon hearing the system's words, Xie Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
"The sword the original owner used?!"
Then, considering why Lingfeng would come here, it all becomes quite obvious.
"So if Lingfeng sees this sword of mine, he won't just not save me, he might even kill me on the spot!"
Xie Zhou swallowed hard.
She's still young, and she doesn't want to be killed like this.
"Quickly, quickly, give me this and put it away!"
Xie Zhou, who had just been admiring this divine weapon, now looked at it as if it were a plague god.
