Chapter 335 Follow
As luck would have it, when she went out this time, Niao Niao spotted her good friend, the stone-spotted venomous spider, from afar.

The spotted tarantula was hunting when it was spotted; its movements were swift and ferocious yet also revealed a touch of elegance.

Niao Niao was delighted to see the stone-spotted venomous spider. She flapped her wings and landed beside it, even nuzzling it with her head.

The stone-spotted venomous spider appeared very aloof, but its motionless stance, allowing Niao Niao to rub against it, already confirmed the intimacy between the two—or rather, the two beasts.

Upon seeing Mo Jiuwei, its expression turned hostile, but it ultimately did not attack her; it merely coldly scrutinized her.

It's probably because he's very unhappy about his good friend being used as a spirit pet.

"Go ahead, you and your best friend can have a good chat when you meet. Once you leave this secret realm, it will be difficult to see it again." Mo Jiuwei jumped off Niao Niao's back, patted its leg, and said to it.

This was the first time Niao Niao had seen the Stone-spotted Poison Spider since she recognized it as her master, and the time for the opening of the secret realm's exit was getting closer and closer. Perhaps this meeting would be her last.

It's time to say goodbye properly.

Mo Jiuwei was very understanding; after speaking, she let them go off to play on their own, while she wandered around.

It's a short distance from the Flower Valley, so the scenery here can't compare, but it's still a delightful place.

If you ignore the countless tiny insects on the ground...

Perhaps because Niao Niao and the Stone-spotted Poison Spider were here, these insects were desperately trying to escape and retreat back into the small holes in the ground, and they didn't have time to bother Mo Jiuwei.

She looked around and was delighted to find a patch of blue pearl mushrooms on the roots of a tree.

These mushrooms grow in clusters, are very small and miniature, and their caps resemble tiny blue pearls, gleaming with a faint glow.

Mo Jiuwei carefully used a dagger to cut off the roots growing on the tree trunk, opened a box and placed it underneath to catch them. Each root fell off as she cut it, without making any skin contact with it.

This is because when their outer skin is damaged, a toxic liquid will leak out, which is intended to prevent them from being eaten by ordinary insects and animals.

After finishing the mushrooms on this tree, she saw that there were more on another tree, so Mo Jiuwei started diligently cutting mushrooms.

This little mushroom is an excellent ingredient for alchemy. The toxin inside, after being refined, can have a strong anesthetic effect, and it is excellent whether taken externally or internally.

Blue pearl mushrooms are difficult to harvest because they are too small and inconspicuous. They also prefer damp conditions and often grow in places with dense low shrubs, making them even harder to spot.

Moreover, it appears for a very short time, from the time it grows and opens its umbrella to the time it withers, which is less than half an hour, so encountering it is purely a matter of fate.

Let alone in secret realms, even on the vast continent, their traces are hard to find.

Some cultivators are lucky enough to encounter them, but they don't understand their toxicity and might pick them with their bare hands.

If they actually touch it like that, things will get really bad. They might faint while picking the fruit, and it could be ten hours before they wake up.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that it will never wake up and will be eaten by the nearby monsters and poisonous insects.

When Mo Jiuwei had finished picking them, she heard Niao Niao calling her urgently.

"what happened?"

Mo Jiuwei glanced at the remaining blue pearl mushrooms. The time was up, and their appearance was deteriorating, showing signs of wilting.

Even if you picked it at this time, the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced, so there was no need to waste the effort. Upon reaching her, Mo Jiuwei understood what Niao Niao meant.

"You mean, the Stone-spotted Poison Spider is also leaving here with us?" Mo Jiuwei asked in surprise.

Niao Niao confirmed this statement and then continued to communicate with her telepathically.

Mo Jiuwei blinked, stunned. "Huh? You mean she's not only leaving, but also taking her children with her?"

After Niao Niao explained, Mo Jiuwei learned that this third-tier stone-spotted venomous spider had offspring!

It had a mate several years ago, but the mate died. It also laid more than a thousand eggs, of which about four hundred survive to this day.

Four hundred dolls might not seem like a lot to a spider, but Mo Jiuwei was still pleasantly surprised when she heard about it.

The stone-spotted spiders said that as long as Mo Jiuwei could lead them out of the secret realm, they would be willing to obey her commands.

Mo Jiuwei had long known that the third-tier demonic beasts here seemed to possess considerable intelligence. Having survived in this secret realm for many years, they knew that this place was both their home and their prison.

They can never leave this place in their entire lives, and not only that, they can also feel a sense of crisis.

“We all have a vague feeling that this world is not very stable. It is very likely that once you cultivators leave, this place will collapse, and all living beings will perish,” Niao Niao said with some unease.

It's a very mystical feeling. Although there's no direct evidence yet, both the tarantula and the stone tarantula feel this way.

The reason for this might be that their strength is among the best in this world, which allows them to vaguely touch upon a sliver of heavenly secrets.

The stone-spotted venomous spider had no intention of leaving, because it felt that most of these demonic beasts were unable to escape this world. The cultivators could leave because they were not originally from here, but they were different.

However, after learning from Niao Niao that Mo Jiuwei's "room" could be used to take it away, it immediately became interested.

It's leaving too!

Cultivation is difficult for demonic beasts; why die when they can live? Moreover, the Stone-Spotted Poison Spider could sense that it hadn't reached its peak yet, and perhaps a different world awaited it outside.

Mo Jiuwei could be of help in this matter, but it didn't want to acknowledge Mo Jiuwei as its master, so it had to settle for second best and have Mo Jiuwei take them away from here and find them a suitable home.

As a sign, she can bring her children to serve her when needed, but she is not allowed to interfere with their lives in normal times.

"Take them all, take them all with you!"

Mo Jiuwei was overjoyed.

This was a piece of cake for her, and the Stone-spotted Poison Spider was only at the third level, not to mention her children. Their cultivation level was simply not enough on the continent, so there was no need to worry about taking them out causing any negative impact.

And being able to use them when needed is fantastic!

You never know when you might need them, so why not take advantage of this benefit?

Another point is that she is, after all, my child's best friend, so I have to help her out of respect for Niao Niao.

Therefore, Mo Jiuwei readily agreed.
