He's going to self-destruct!
Upon discovering this situation, Lu Li immediately transformed his spiritual energy into a sword and, at incredible speed, plunged it into the male cultivator's dantian before he could self-destruct.
"Pfft!" As the spirit sword pierced the body, the opponent's body, which had already expanded to half its original size, deflated like a punctured balloon, and its attempt to self-destruct was forced to stop.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the sweet potato nimbly dodged the unknown little black balls that were heading towards her.
The little black ball skipped over the potato and landed with a bang on the volcano behind her, blasting half of it apart.
The powerful explosive energy distorted the space around it, slowly forming a small black hole.
Almost the instant the small black hole formed, Shushu sensed something was wrong and turned to try to escape.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late. The little black hole had already locked onto her and was desperately trying to drag her in. Even with all her strength, Shushu couldn't escape the powerful suction.
Seeing that he was about to be dragged into the black hole, Shushu panicked and shouted to Lu Li, "Senior Brother, help!"
Fortunately, Lu Li had been keeping an eye on the situation with Shushu.
Upon realizing her precarious situation, Lu Li didn't hesitate for a moment. He abandoned his plan to personally kill the male cultivator and quickly rushed towards Shushu. Finally, just a second before Shushu was about to be sucked into the small black hole, he successfully pulled her into his arms and carefully protected her.
But they were too close to the black hole, and the man and the mouse didn't have time to escape its pull. They were both sucked in and disappeared without a trace.
Immediately afterward, the Golden Core cultivator lying not far away, whose dantian had been shattered by Lu Li and who was barely breathing, was also sucked into the small black hole without any power to resist and then swallowed up.
Only when there was no sign of life in the surrounding area did the black hole slowly shrink and disappear into the air without leaving a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
Meanwhile, Shushu and Luli, who were sucked into the black hole, only felt themselves falling, falling continuously, while the surrounding temperature was rising higher and higher, getting hotter and hotter.
Just when the potatoes were about to succumb to the scorching heat, they finally saw the bottom.
Upon reaching the bottom, Lu Li promptly adjusted his speed and controlled his posture.
Therefore, the senior and junior disciples did not fall, but landed steadily.
However, he had only just regained his footing when he felt a whooshing sound above him, as if something was rapidly descending.
Based on his years of experience being scammed, Lu Li quickly dodged away even before he could confirm what was above him.
Then, the instant he stepped back, the thing slammed down on the spot where he had just been standing, letting out a sharp and urgent "Ah!" before falling silent.
Only now did Lu Li realize that the thing that had been smashed down was none other than the cultivator who had tried to self-destruct earlier, except that the person was now lifeless.
Clearly, that last blow had taken his last breath, bringing him to his final rest.
Lu Li naturally had no sympathy for those who wanted to harm his junior sister.
So, he glanced around briefly to confirm that the other person had really hung up, and then looked around at his surroundings.
Even the little potato had recovered from the series of changes and cautiously poked its head out to check its surroundings. The first thing it saw was a dazzling array of colors.
They found themselves in a hollow place, surrounded by reddish-brown rocks with countless large and small holes winding and twisting, their destinations unknown.
Looking at the densely packed holes and the spider silk everywhere, the senior and junior disciples had a bad feeling: Could it be that they had accidentally fallen into the nest of some kind of spider spirit beast?
It can only be said that their premonition was very accurate. At the same time they finished guessing, they heard a slight noise and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
Sensing something was wrong, Lu Li took off almost without hesitation, quickly rising into the air and leaving the ground far behind.
Sure enough, the next second, the spot where he had just stood suddenly shook violently, the ground collapsed, and a huge spider emerged from the pile of rubble—it was a Silver Flame Fire Spider at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The moment they realized it was a Silver Flame Spider, both Shushu and Lu Li felt it was a bit tricky.
Especially Shushu, who has already hidden herself completely, afraid that she might accidentally cause trouble for her senior brother, since the Silver Flame Spider is not an easy opponent.
The Silver Flame Spider is not only a fire-type spirit beast, but also a poisonous one, as its skin is highly venomous.
If you accidentally break the skin, the poison can quickly enter the enemy's body through the wound, first paralyzing the enemy's nerves, and then slowly consuming the enemy until death.
It can be said that the Silver Flame Fire Spider is a very terrifying existence in this Blazing Volcano, especially the one in front of them, which is only in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Therefore, after seeing the Silver Flame Spider's cultivation level, Lu Li knew that he had met a worthy opponent. Although he was full of fighting spirit, he immediately put the millet into his spatial storage.
My main concern is that if a fight breaks out, I might not be able to focus on taking care of her.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly swallowed an antidote pill before summoning his weapon and looking at the Silver Flame Spider opposite him, waiting for it to make its move.
However, to everyone's surprise, the first thing the Silver Flame Spider did upon emerging was not to attack Lu Li. Instead, it quickly dug up the pile of stones, removed the male cultivator's corpse, and devoured it.
Only then did his gaze settle on Lu Li in mid-air. His eyes, as big as light bulbs, were filled with desire and bloodlust, and a massive pressure from a Nascent Soul stage spirit beast came straight towards Lu Li.
Lu Li was not afraid of the pressure from the Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Without thinking, he directly retaliated. The two forces collided, and Lu Li easily neutralized the opponent's show of force.
The Silver Flame Spider originally thought that this move would be enough to intimidate its opponent, never expecting that a late-stage Golden Core cultivator could ignore the pressure from her mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Human-like anger and disbelief flashed in the spider's eyes.
But his limited intelligence allowed his anger at being offended to take over, completely ignoring the abnormality.
And so, the Silver Flame Spider fearlessly charged towards Lu Li.
In an instant, the human and the spider clashed. Red fire-elemental spiritual energy filled the entire space as they fought, interspersed with poisonous and sticky spider silk.
They fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
