Chapter 448 Adventure
Along with these insects, there was also the sudden, sharp, and piercing chirping of insects that filled the mountain forest.
When they saw the swarm of insects rushing in from the surrounding dense forest, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan's expressions changed.
"There are so many bugs here."
They knew there would be dangers on their way southwest, but they never expected to encounter so many insects.
The system said, "If the original body hadn't destroyed the snake-skin underwear that Wen Nanxi gave to the host, these lowly insects wouldn't have dared to approach the host at all."
The system was filled with rage at the mere thought of its original owner.
It was so angry it wanted to curse; it was absolutely furious.
“In the past, Wen Nanxi gave the host a snake molt. Back then, on the Azure Beast Continent, the host would never encounter snakes or insects. Even if such things existed, they would automatically avoid you from a great distance.”
The snakeskin clothes that the host body gives it are all fake.
It's unusable, and there's no way to stop these things.
"careful!"
Before Su Muyao could make a move, Xiao Jihan had already stepped in front of her. He instantly activated his ice-type ability, and a bone-chilling coldness burst forth from his body.
Her long, snow-white hair, which had been hanging down, suddenly rose up, as if lifted by an invisible current of spiritual energy, and seemed to shimmer with a cold light in the dappled moonlight in the forest.
Because of Xiao Jihan's innate ice-type ability, every strand of his hair seemed to be coated with a layer of frost.
His dark robes fluttered wildly, the edges of which were stained with pale blue ice patterns by the cold air, like butterfly wings skimming over a cold pool, exuding aloofness and coldness.
As the first wave of insects swarmed in from all directions, Xiao Jihan lightly raised his left arm, his snow-white hair and robes drawing a graceful arc in the air.
The ice-type superpower that suddenly erupted from his palm was like a dam bursting and a frosty river flowing out. The white, cold air spread out in a fan shape from him, and wherever it passed, everything around froze into ice.
The insects were instantly frozen solid and could no longer move.
Looking at it, it resembles an ice cocoon encased in ice, crystal clear.
The next moment, the ice cocoon shattered into countless ice shards.
The swarms of insects that rushed up were dealt with by Xiao Jihan using his ice-type supernatural abilities.
There was absolutely no need for Su Muyao to take action.
Even the system exclaimed in amazement, "As expected, entering the Spirit Transformation Realm is quite different. This Xiao Jihan is like an ice fairy, with an ethereal and otherworldly aura."
Su Muyao was taken aback. She had been so focused on Xiao Jihan dealing with the insects that she hadn't paid attention to anything else.
But at this moment, he was as graceful as a crane and as bright as the moon in the sky. When he made a move, it was like ice being drawn from its sheath, carrying an aura that was not of this world. It seemed as if he had gained a touch of divinity, like a god carved from ice and snow.
After dealing with several waves of insects, Xiao Jihan turned and looked down at her, his cold expression instantly melting into warm concern. "Are you alright?"
Even knowing his wife's strength, Xiao Jihan couldn't help but worry about her at this moment.
Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Just then, she heard a strange sound not far away, and in an instant, countless insects swarmed in.
"Be careful, someone is controlling the insects in this forest."
Just as Su Muyao was about to use her sword, Xiao Jihan, without turning his head, used his ice-type ability to once again deal with the insects that rushed up.
The shattered ice fragments of the insect intertwined with his snow-white hair, creating a scene reminiscent of a winter wonderland.
However, the other types of insects that rushed up next were able to spray venom even when they were on the verge of death. The spider beastmen who controlled these insects in the shadows also suddenly appeared. The spider silk they spat out seemed to be filled with black mist and even venom, and they attacked Su Muyao and the others.
Xiao Jihan quickly grabbed Su Muyao and swept her backward with him, their snow-white hair drawing a silver arc in the air. The hem of his black robe swept across the decaying leaves on the ground, leaving a thin layer of ice on the leaves.
At the same time, he clenched his right hand, and his ice-type power condensed into a pale ball of light in his palm, forming a huge barrier that blocked all of the opponent's attacks. Not only that, with a flick of his finger, his ice-type power transformed into dozens of sharp ice blades, each wrapped with tiny ice crystals, shooting towards the spider-beastmen and the insects they controlled, like blades formed from moonlight.
"what……"
"Snapped……"
Soon, countless insects and the dozen or so spider-beastmen all fell down.
These spider-beastmen were not at the Spirit Transformation Realm level, so naturally they were no match for Xiao Jihan.
Xiao Jihan dealt with them with ease, without Su Muyao needing to lift a finger.
However, there was still one last spider beastman hiding in the shadows. He directly devoured the blood and energy of the other spider beastmen, rapidly increasing his strength. His body was filled with a bloody aura.
Upon seeing this, even the system exclaimed in shock, "This method of absorbing the life force of others to enhance one's own strength is so bizarre, just like the method used by the former head of the Xiao family."
"Host, do you think the Xiao family might be colluding with the Zerg or Spider Orcs?"
Actually, Su Muyao had also guessed this, just as the system had guessed.
"If the Xiao family is colluding with the Spider Beastmen, then other families may also be colluding with them."
Su Muyao had previously guessed this: there must be a powerful family colluding with the Spider Beastmen to establish their influence on the Azure Beast Continent so quickly.
"And the main body, he is a snake beastman, and perhaps also related to the spider beastman."
“There were also spider-beastmen among the enforcers of the Temple of Light before.”
However, before this spider-orc could fully increase its strength by absorbing the blood essence of other dead orcs, it was killed by Xiao Jihan.
After resolving these dangers, Xiao Jihan and Su Muyao continued forward.
The deeper they went into the forest, the more eerie the atmosphere became. There were quite a few mutated beasts, but they all dealt with them.
Many trees and vegetation deep in the mountains are blackish-gray, and many are mutated plants.
Some of the vines that entwine around the trees will silently attack Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan.
However, Xiao Jihan always dealt with them in time.
With Xiao Jihan protecting her along the way, Su Muyao didn't have to be so tense.
Xiao Jihan also took meticulous care of her.
After a perilous journey, as they passed through this area, Su Muyao spotted a faint light ahead. "There's a green light ahead, let's go take a look."
When they parted the ancient vines in front of them, they saw the scene before them.
It resembles an abandoned ancient building hidden deep in the mountains, surrounded by abandoned stone forests. The gray-blue cliffs next to it are covered with moss and vines. Only the central area is relatively well-maintained, with a dozen stone pillars standing quietly.
"There's an abandoned building here. Was anyone ever living here?"
Xiao Jihan said, "The atmosphere here is not right. It's too cold and dark, and the surroundings are full of dark mist. I'll go take a look first."
They happened to be passing through this area, and to get through the forest, they had to go through this place. Xiao Jihan couldn't let Su Muyao take any risks.
He first investigated the area.
Xiao Jihan stepped forward to examine the stone pillar and discovered the carvings on it.
The most bizarre thing is that each pillar is carved with a snake, as if a giant snake is wrapped around the stone pillar. The carvings are still very clear, as if the sculptures will come to life at any moment, and the snakes will wriggle. The snakes' heads are slightly raised, their mouths are slightly open, as if they are spitting out invisible tongues. Even the snakes' eyes are lifelike, glowing with a green luster in the night.
The green light we saw earlier was the glow emanating from the eyes of these snake sculptures.
