Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 308 Sugar

Qin Feng reacted the fastest, and his ice-blue spiritual power froze the furry spider into an ice lump.

Wei Xi's spiritual power was a step slower, forming a faint shield that blocked the three people.

Wei Xi was inevitably a little annoyed at how easily the nimble spider had been captured last night. But then he thought, something was amiss: This little creature was so cunning and treacherous yesterday, why didn't it even resist today? Could it have set a trap for the three of them to fall into?

Therefore, Wei Xi walked very carefully in just a few steps, and gathered his spiritual power in his palms. As long as the plush ice sculpture moved slightly, the spiritual power would blast it into pieces of ice.

"What kind of creature is this?" Lian Gouyue grew bolder, circling forward, one of his eyes magnified by the transparent ice. "It's so big! It's almost as big as my head!"

"Strange..." Wei Xi began to rub her fingers again, "It wasn't so... swollen last night..."

"It's pitch dark, it's strange that you can see it clearly... There are probably not many spiders this big in the forest." Qin Feng thought simply, thinking that Wei Xi didn't see it clearly at night.

"This thing has a ripped belly! Wow! The lines on its belly are like a chessboard!"

Hearing Lian Gou's words, Wei Xi flipped the ice sculpture over quickly and efficiently.

Sure enough, the spider's abnormally swollen abdomen was covered with bright yellow lines, squeezed together with black hairs, and there was a blood-red crack in the middle, which was extremely disgusting.

Wei Xi knew the severity of her attack and knew it was definitely not her who did it.

Feeling his companion's veiled gaze, Qin Feng waved his hands repeatedly, "I just froze it! If I really attacked, it would be gone with one strike! How could it possibly just crack?"

"Then it split open on its own?" Lian Gou's gaze shifted to the spider silk piled on the corpse. "Did it burst because of too much spider silk in its stomach?"

"It's not a good thing! It transformed into a human to deceive Wei Xi. Who knows what it's up to? Kill it and be done with it!"

Qin Feng has a strong personal style, and he is ready to take action after he finishes speaking.

Wei Xi stopped her and advised, "This thing tricked me here last night. It's definitely not a simple matter! Besides, there's a group of spiritual forces in the forest whose enemies and friends are unknown. The spider refused to enter the forest even at the cost of exposing itself. It must know something. We can't kill it now!"

Qin Feng let go of his hand and said in distress, "This thing can't speak, are you trying to force it to transform?"

"Perhaps we can release it first, and kill it if it doesn't transform," Lian Gouyue smacked his palm. "It doesn't look like a powerful creature, are you afraid it will run away?"

There was no better way at the moment, so Wei Xi's spiritual power circled around the ice twice and the ice melted. The big spider, now free, jumped out desperately, and its eight legs left an afterimage.

Qin Feng used Gao Han to pick it up, and the black spider drew a perfect arc in the air and landed on the skeleton again.

"If you run again, I'll chop off your legs!" Qin Feng said impatiently, "If you cooperate, there's still a chance of survival!"

"I know you can understand," Wei Xi said calmly, his words coaxing her out of her mouth, "We have no ill intentions, otherwise you would have died long ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big spider jumped back and landed lightly on the table. Under the gaze of the three people, it turned into a wheat-skinned child with an androgynous appearance, wild eyebrows and eyes, and a spider-shaped pendant hanging around its neck.

"You...bad guys...big liars!"

Perhaps it was his young age or his poor command of Northern Xinjiang dialect, but the child stumbled over the short seven words, his emotions brimming with emotion, his hatred practically lashing out at Wei Xi. "You kid! How can you talk like that?" Lian Gou-yu, a master at bullying children, said, "It's you who's been relying on your familiarity with the area, repeatedly harassing the camp with corpses, and even tricking someone away last night! You're the villain, aren't you?"

"Breaking into the Holy Mountain," the child said in a broken Northern Frontier dialect, "disturbing the immortals..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xi's eyes lit up and he patted Lian Gou's purse, and the latter reluctantly took out two pieces of candy.

Unexpectedly, the child was so steadfast that he didn't even look at the orange-red candy and just kept mumbling the same few words.

Wei Xi took the candy and, when the opportunity arose, stuffed it into the child's mouth.

Candy can pry open the mouths of most children. After a moment, the children's eyes fell on the purse on Lian Gou'e's waist, and their faces were full of desire.

"What is this? ...Achen...I like it..."

"It's called sugar," Wei Xi said gently, trying to tease her. "'Achen'? Is that your name?"

Holding the candy in his mouth, the child did not answer, but used his tongue to press his cheek into a slight curve.

Lian Gouqie was very considerate and took out the candies from his purse. Some of the softened candies piled up in his palm, like a small mountain of sweetness.

Ah Chen swallowed hard and replied softly, "My name is Ah Chen! ... This... is my home! Leave now!"

In order to find the immortal wood, Wei Xi had been hiding in the forest of Jiuai Mountain for more than a month, and was almost turned into a savage with mushrooms growing on her face. Now that she had finally touched the edge of the immortal wood, she was determined not to give up.

"Achen, you scared me last night," Wei Xi, who was "scared," patted his chest. "Why did you scare me?"

When Qin Feng heard Wei Xi's gentle voice, goosebumps all over his body rushed out.

"Because you... are marked," Ah Chen's eyes were glued to the pile of candy, "...grab it..."

Achen spoke haltingly and his ability to express himself was very limited. Fortunately, Wei Xi was very patient and it took him nearly half an hour to finally get Achen to say everything.

According to Achen, it was an abandoned poisonous insect. When it was only the size of a grain of rice, it heard a voice telling it to protect the treasures of Jiuai Mountain, so that it could receive the blessing of the gods. When Achen grew to the size of a palm, it found immortality.

From then on, Achen found his target to protect.

The gray fog in the forest would snatch living creatures away from their dreams. Not wanting to be lost in a ghostly dream, Ah Chen carefully avoided the fog's activity and used the remaining poisonous insects in the village to control the corpses and divert the fog. This barely saved Ah Chen's life, and he also used the fog to eliminate outsiders who had intruded into Jiuai Mountain.

Achen also said that he lied to Weixi last night because he needed a new corpse: he was about to shed his skin and his appetite would become very big.

Wei Xi, nearly becoming a food reserve, tried to extract more information from Candy. Unfortunately, Ah Chen was just a bug after all, with not only poor combat power but also limited intelligence.

Wei Xi asked it when the village was empty, and A Chen said he didn't know; he asked it if there were other big insects in the mountains, and A Chen said he didn't know; then he asked it what it would see in its second ghost dream, and A Chen said he knew nothing.

It knew nothing about anything, and Wei Xi even wanted to snatch the candy back from it.
