Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 310: Entering the Ghost Dream Again
"Stay in the village tonight," Wei Xi sorted out the collected papers and stuffed them all at Lian Gou'e, "Try to see if you can decipher these snake characters."

"I'll give it a try," Lian Gou said seriously after taking a look at the densely packed symbols, "I can't say for sure if it will work."

Wei Xi nodded to indicate that she understood, and then began to coax the mentally damaged Achen. The poor little spider was played in her hands and actually agreed to the three people's request to stay overnight, and even took the initiative to take them to a relatively clean bamboo house.

"Are you planning on avoiding that ball of spiritual energy?" Qin Feng looked at the dark black color spreading across the horizon, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. "If it's spiritual energy, then at worst, we can just stay awake tonight. We have a good chance of winning against it!"

"We're here to look for materials," Wei Xi said, looking a little tired. "Whether it's the Tao Bin tribe or the village that was massacred, they're all matters we can take care of or ignore."

"Since we know that the spiritual power is strange, we should hide if we can. Finding the materials is the important thing."

If your uncle hadn't given a clue about the wood of immortality, Wei Xi wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation and led his men to run around in the mountains.

After all, according to the materials she had read, the mountains in Nanjiang could eat people. Not to mention, the spiritual power in the forest had caused Wei Xi and his group a lot of suffering.

Compared with the clues given by your uncle, Wei Xi is more inclined to get the location of "Changsheng" from Achen.

The wood of immortality is the carrot hanging in front of Wei Xi, luring her step by step into the moldy place of Jiuai Mountain.

The village was rarely bustling with people at night. In addition to some common protective spells, Wei Xi also made some strange-shaped branches to surround the bamboo house to prevent the wild beasts from being scared.

Wei Xi and Qin Feng remained alert, while Lian Gou Xie tried to translate the snake language under the oil lamp.

The spider Achen is more energetic at night than during the day. Eight spider legs grow from its back. Each leg has a spider silk, and the end is connected to a green Gu corpse. These corpses disappear into the night with stiff steps.

Sometimes talent is really important. Wei Xi looked at Achen with envy: he couldn't even figure out how to play with two puppets, but Achen, whose original form was a spider, could control eight at once.

But Wei Xi changed his mind and realized that it was not just the two puppets that he couldn't handle now. He couldn't even master the weapon refiner's fire-making combo. He was so unskilled that it was worrying.

Wei Xi, however, was determined to become stronger, and so she was determined to obtain the Wood of Immortality. She shifted her attention to Ah Chen, trying to find a way out of the spider.

"You let these puppets patrol the mountains?"

Ah Chen blinked his big eyes, staring at Wei Xi's face, and replied slowly: "The Green Gu corpse... is not a puppet..."

This spider's thinking was unique, which was exactly what she wanted. Thinking of this, Wei Xi smiled and said, "Since you have such ability, why are you forced to hide in the village?"

"Achen is not...hiding..." Spider seemed very dissatisfied with Wei Xi's contempt. He slapped his chest and said loudly: "Staying here is...God's will..."

No matter how much Ah Chen transformed into a human, he was just a poisonous insect that lived longer. Although he had a twisted and poisonous intestine, he was no match for Wei Xi, who was full of evil intentions. The provocation worked on him.

It was a god again. Wei Xi frowned. The tribes near Jiuai Mountain seemed to believe in gods more than the people in Yudai City. Even if there were cultivators, they would be considered people favored by gods.

However, Wei Xi's eyes veiledly over the furious Ah Chen. "God" has the time to take care of Ah Chen, a giant black spider? This business is a bit too extensive!
Wei Xi felt that something was amiss with the spider, Ah Chen. Suddenly, Wei Xi remembered the insect swarms her uncle had mentioned when he'd sent them up the mountain to guard the Longevity Tree. Although Ah Chen didn't have the ability to control swarms of insects over long distances, it must be very familiar with the conditions in the mountains.

"Ah Chen, are there any other insects in this forest besides yours? Jiuai Mountain is so big, it can't be that it only has a single Gu worm like you, right?"

“…Don’t…go out…” Achen did not directly answer Wei Xi’s question, but instead uttered a nonsensical sentence.

Wei Xi thought, "This spider wanted to eat me last night, but today it's so easy to talk to? Could it be that the candy has really become a weapon against the enemy?"

Wei Xi very naturally took out two pieces of candy and handed them over, saying with a bitter face: "We are not from here. Sooner or later we will have to leave. If there are any strange insects in the mountains, I am afraid we will suffer again..."

"The bugs at night...are huge...they're ugly centipedes," Ah Chen stuffed the candy into his net bag. "Ah Chen's power...is suppressed...I'm so scared!"

Seeing that Spider-Man was pale, Wei Xi did not continue to ask questions.

It’s not that Wei Xi felt guilty and couldn’t bear it, but that the environment around her turned gray.

It was that strange spiritual power! Wei Xi's hair stood on end. Had the village's restrictions also expired?
"Xiaoxi!" Qin Feng's alert voice came, "That thing is coming!"

Looking at Achen who maintained his original color, Wei Xi narrowed his eyes slightly: It turned out that it was not the village that restricted the scope of the so-called ghost dream, but this ignorant poisonous insect was the only exception!
No! Ah Chen is not the only exception, there is also the centipede in its mouth!
Wei Xi boldly speculated that these two insects might be poisonous insects, which were closely related to the ball of spiritual power. In all likelihood, they were poisonous insects fed by the owner of the spiritual power.

"What should I do?" Lian Gou asked anxiously, "This is the second time I've had this dream! Is there really a ghost?"

"There are no ghosts in the world! It's just a ball of weird spiritual power!" Wei Xi said a few perfunctorily and pulled out two puppets to protect the three people.

As for Achen, the "relative", Wei Xi said that he is not as safe as him.

The gray fog lagged behind and now spread to several bamboo buildings not far away. The silly spider Achen had already transformed into his original form and was crawling around anxiously.

"My spiritual power should be able to compete with the other party," Qin Feng whispered, "We just have to wait for that ball of spiritual power to appear... The problem is that we are in a dream and cannot come into contact with that ball of spiritual power..."

"[Into the Painting] won't work," Wei Xi forced a glimpse of despair from Lian Gou's pale face, "I'm afraid we'll be trapped here and die!"

The previous two experiences taught Wei Xi that if he wanted to break free from the control of this strange spiritual power, he had to be stimulated by the outside world.

The problem was that there were no living people in the village except Wei Xi and the other two. There was only one unreliable living insect left. Now this insect was completely useless. Expecting it to escape and save people was like giving it food reserves.

It was really not right for the boat to capsize in the ditch. It was just that the safety of the village last night confused Wei Xi, and Ah Xin's solemn words led to the disaster.

Wei Xi took a deep breath and told herself that she was not at the end of the road yet. Suddenly, she thought, what would happen if she completely survived the second dream?
