Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

The high temperature of the Fire Fiend Earth Vein was still as intense as ever. Compared to before, Zhang Lingyu now had the protection of the Qi Refining Top-Grade Magic Robe and could fly freely without even needing to cast spells to isolate himself.

"According to the intelligence system, the nest built by the Blazing Spider will not be too deep or too far out."

The outer Fire Cloud Valley is protected by a barrier, and the demonic beasts can instinctively sense the danger. In addition, since there are no spiritual plants or herbs growing there, they will not come.

Zhang Lingyu walked deeper into the lava, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding rock walls.

The nest of the Blazing Spider is usually drilled into a hole in the rock wall, and the entrance is covered with spider web. Not to mention how tough the spider silk is, the poison applied to it alone can kill ordinary monsters.

Although he had been walking for almost half an hour without making any significant discoveries, the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air indicated that he was getting closer and closer to the enemy's lair.

"It seems the Blazing Spiders have quite a appetite after laying their eggs."

As they got closer to the lair, Zhang Lingyu began to slow down. His equipment was comparable to that of a late-stage or even peak Qi Refining cultivator, but it was still better to be cautious.

Out of a desire to protect their mates and offspring, the male fiery spider's counterattack will inevitably be extremely fierce.

So he affixed two more speed talismans to his feet, two elephant armor talismans to his chest, and several explosive flame talismans to his sleeves before he could continue forward with peace of mind.

Fifteen minutes later, more and more skeletons appeared in front of them, and there were even traces of fresh blood on the ground.

"arrive."

Zhang Lingyu looked up at the rock wall not far away. A cave about four meters long and wide appeared in front of him. Its surface was covered with dense spider silk, leaving only a few tiny holes for air to circulate.

"It seems they've already started laying eggs."

The male Blazing Spider prepares all the food before the female Blazing Spider lays its eggs, then seals the entrance to the cave and guards it from the outside, so that no human or monster can disturb the inside.

As the gaze moved downwards, a fiery spider suddenly appeared before them.

The beast was entirely black, but its back was covered with dense flame patterns. Its head was ferocious and terrifying, with six scarlet compound eyes arranged in a fan shape, each one flashing with cold killing intent.

It has a pair of curved black fangs on both sides of its mouth, with corrosive venom still remaining at the tips.

It hissed as it landed on the ground, instantly burning several charred pits into the rock.

"Wow, it seems he's really close to breaking through to the second tier."

Zhang Lingyu became wary and used two more concealment talismans in succession. Then, she took out some hemp thorns and scattered them in the air, letting them flow with the air towards the place where the blazing spider was.

The thorn powder is colored and odorless, but the cave is filled with a lot of dust, making it an excellent disguise.

He didn't expect this thing to be able to take down the opponent in one fell swoop; he just wanted to reduce their fighting strength slightly.

Zhang Lingyu used three portions of the jade before stopping, and then began to wait silently. Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the six compound eyes of the Blazing Spider began to tremble, and it was possible that they would close at any moment.

"Good." Seeing that the hemp thorn powder had taken effect, he chuckled to himself and was about to seize the opportunity to strike when the monster looked straight at his hiding place.

The Blazing Spider is extremely sensitive to its own body, and given the current special circumstances, it understood what was happening in an instant.

An enemy has launched a sneak attack!

The monster suddenly let out a sharp shriek, and its eight strong spider legs, carrying its massive body, leaped into the air and pounced towards Zhang Lingyu's hiding place.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Lingyu cursed under his breath and quickly mobilized his magic power to activate the spirit boots and talismans on his feet. He then flew into the air to hide. Looking at the rock he was hiding on, which had shattered into small pieces, his face turned very ugly.

But at this moment, he had no time to think further.

Before the fiery spider could even appear amidst the billowing dust, its silk threads came from all directions, attempting to trap him and render him immobile.

Zhang Lingyu did not use fire magic. These kinds of monsters live in magma from birth and have some natural resistance to fire, including the spider silk they spit out.

【Junhong】!

The magic sword flew out from the boy's waist, its blade covered in a dark gold color, a manifestation of the Geng metal energy adhering to it.

Spider silk is indeed tough, but it's no match for metal-based magic that focuses on killing. As the Geng metal sword energy surged out, it instantly turned into countless fragments that drifted down.

When the fiery spider realized it couldn't restrain its opponent, it ran swiftly along the rock wall, spewing deadly venom and spider silk from its mouthparts in an attempt to kill it.

While dodging on the wind, Zhang Lingyu also used [Junhong] to harass the enemy.

As a demon beast that was about to break through to the second tier, [Junhong] carried the Geng metal energy around its body, and the sword energy it emitted only left some shallow wounds on its body.

Several times, he was even knocked away by the spider's legs.

Zhang Lingyu wasn't in a hurry. His goal wasn't to kill the beast, but to gradually wear down its strength so he could eventually subdue it using the "Divine Refinement and Beast Taming Technique."

Taking advantage of the moment when the magic sword was constantly harassing the opponent, he directly took out the Soul Refining Banner.

In an instant, black mist began to surge from the banner, making its figure appear ghostly, as if it were truly a heretical cultivator.

"go."

With a gentle flick of Zhang Lingyu's finger, more than a dozen ghostly creatures emerged from the black mist. They rushed towards the Blazing Nether Spider, as if they had spotted some delicious food.

Seeing the enemy's formidable force, the Blazing Spider let out another shriek, then immediately spat out spider silk to wrap itself up and reduce the damage.

"Um?"

Zhang Lingyu was somewhat surprised. The ghosts, who were originally very fast, actually showed a trace of pain on their faces, clearly indicating that they had been affected.

"It's a pleasant surprise."

The ghosts did not retreat; instead, they were enraged. The black mist instantly enveloped the Blazing Spider and began to tear at its body.

Zhang Lingyu silently observed everything before him, without interfering too much. What he wanted was an extremely weak Blazing Spider, which the ghosts could slowly wear down.

However, to prevent the other party from committing suicide, several doses of hemp seed powder were also scattered.

Time passed slowly, and the movements in the black mist grew smaller and smaller. So, seizing the opportunity, they immediately summoned back all the ghosts.

Upon hearing the command, some of the ghosts reluctantly left the Blazing Spider, but they all rushed into the Soul Refining Banner and disappeared. However, compared to when they came out, there were actually two fewer ghosts when they returned.

Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly, but didn't complain. He looked down at the Fiery Spider, which was covered in wounds, as it dragged its limping spider legs toward its nest.

"Don't worry, I won't kill them."

As these words echoed through the cave, the Blazing Spider, perhaps understanding or perhaps having inhaled too much of the numbing powder, finally collapsed in front of its nest, completely unconscious.

Zhang Lingyu landed on the wind, placed his right hand on the monster's head, and secretly began to use the "Divine Refinement and Beast Taming Technique".
