Yang Sheng and Li Zhishu followed closely on either side, the three of them forming a triangular formation, facing the enormous shadow that emerged from the depths of darkness.

Wang Teng and Wang Sheng exchanged a glance, then immediately circled around to the side, using the trees as cover, and ran towards the entrance of the nest they remembered.

Before long, the deep cave, about three meters in diameter, appeared before the two of them.

"What do we do next?"

Wang Sheng stared at the dark cave entrance and tightened his grip on the iron claws.

"You protect me while I send my martial spirit in to investigate."

Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the spot and concentrated to summon his martial spirit.

The silver-white spinning top appeared first, rotating quietly in front of me.

Immediately afterward, a flash of blue light appeared, and the Divine Steed Spinning Top spun out, with the phantom of the sacred beast above it raising its head and neighing softly.

"go."

With a slight thought, Wang Teng sent the blue spinning top, enveloped in a gentle breeze, silently gliding into the cave.

The silver-white spinning top remained beside him, slowly rotating, serving both as a guardian and a vigilant presence.

Wang Teng's mind was connected to the spinning top of the Gale Horse, and his "vision" entered the underground passage.

The breeze stirred up by the spinning top became his antennae, meticulously sensing everything along the way.

The nest's interior twisted and sank downwards, its walls covered in sticky spider silk, and the air was filled with a foul, fishy smell.

As they went deeper, Wang Teng's brows furrowed more and more.

It turned out that scattered white bones began to appear on both sides of the passage, and there were more and more as you went further in.

Some still had fur and flesh remaining, indicating they had only recently died.

Judging from the shape of the bones, the remains in the nest belonged to at least four or five different soul beasts.

"It really is it..."

Wang Teng understood immediately; he realized that it was this cave spider outside that had caused the significant decrease in the number of soul beasts in the surrounding area.

However, a question arises: why would this burrowing spider hunt in such large numbers?

So, in order to figure out the question in his mind, Wang Teng manipulated the spinning top to continue exploring.

Because the underground burrows of the burrowing spider have winding and tortuous tunnels, the straight-line distance between the spinning top and Wang Teng has always been within 50 meters.

Therefore, Wang Teng was able to control the spinning top to continue moving inside.

After all, 50 meters is the maximum distance between Wang Teng and his martial spirit.

Finally, in a relatively open chamber deep within the nest, Wang Teng "saw" the answer.

There was a large amount of fresh animal meat piled up there, while in the corner of the cave, a cluster of egg sacs wrapped in dense spider silk quietly adhered to the wall, and the outlines of countless tiny spiderlings could be vaguely seen inside.

The mother spider's eggs are about to hatch.

It hunts frantically to store food for its offspring to grow quickly after birth.

"I see……"

Wang Teng quickly changed his mind and immediately retrieved the spinning top.

The Divine Steed Spinning Top, also underground, instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

"We've investigated thoroughly, let's go back."

Wang Teng got up and quickly returned to the battlefield with Wang Sheng.

In the distance, the clanging of metal and the roar of weapons continued incessantly.

When the two arrived, Zhang Feng and his two companions were locked in a fierce battle with the cave spider.

The spider had eight legs like spears, which it used to stab repeatedly. It also spat out yellowish-brown venomous webs from its mouth from time to time. Although it moved somewhat clumsily, it had thick skin and a hard shell. The ordinary attacks of Zhang Feng and the other two could hardly penetrate its armor.

"Wang Teng, how is the situation?"

Zhang Feng caught a glimpse of the two out of the corner of his eye and raised his voice to ask.

"It's been confirmed. There are many soul beast skeletons in the nest, as well as a nest of unhatched spider eggs."

Wang Teng responded loudly, and at the same time summoned the Gale Steed Spinning Top again, which transformed into a streak of blue light and cut into the battle.

Ultimate Technique: Phantom Wind Chaser!

The spinning top merged with the phantom of the sacred beast, its speed skyrocketing, and it struck the spider's side and rear like a streak of blue lightning.

"Cover him!"

Li Zhishu shouted.

Yang Sheng drew his longbow to its full extent in response, and his first spirit ring lit up instantly.

"First Soul Skill: Blazing Sun Arrow!"

In an instant, a dozen or so arrows, wreathed in flames, shot through the air and hurtled straight at the spider.

The spider hissed and sprayed out a large amount of sticky web, blocking the rain of arrows.

However, in that moment of distraction, Wang Teng's top had already accurately hit one of its hind limb joints.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

A teeth-grinding cracking sound rang out, and the severed insect limb snapped off, spraying out dark green fluid.

The cave spider let out a painful and furious hiss, its body trembled violently, and its attack suddenly became chaotic.

Wang Teng and Wang Sheng took the opportunity to reunite with Zhang Feng and the other two.

The five people drew closer, their eyes fixed on the soul beast, which had become increasingly agitated after being injured.

"Commander, it's already injured. Should we take it down while we have the chance?"

Yang Sheng's breathing quickened slightly, and his eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

"If we can kill them in one fell swoop, then this mission will be a perfect ending."

Zhang Feng stared intently at the spider, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally shook his head, saying, "If it were any other soul beast, I might be willing to give it a try."

"But the cave spider is a soul beast with potent venom and is cunning by nature. Once injured, it is very likely to burrow underground and escape."

"None of us have any soul skills that can stop it from escaping. If we force our way out, we will likely waste our energy and even be counterattacked."

"Pity!"

Li Zhishu sighed and said, "If we go back like this, the mission will only be 60-70% complete, and the commission will probably be reduced."

"Safety first. As long as everyone is safe and the cause is found, the mission is accomplished."

Then, Zhang Feng decisively ordered, "All personnel, listen to my command, retreat gradually, and disengage from the battle!"

The five maintained their defensive formation and began to slowly retreat.

At this moment, opposite Wang Teng and his group, the cave spider was dragging its severed limbs, its eerie green compound eyes staring intently at them.

However, although the cave spiders looked angry, they did not pursue them. Instead, they continued to emit intimidating low hisses before slowly retreating towards their nest.

It also needs to go back to lick its wounds and protect its egg sacs.

The distance between the two gradually increased until they disappeared into the shadows of the trees.

As the long journey and vigilance continued, the sky gradually turned white.

The morning mist was thick, and the branches and leaves in the forest were covered with dew, making a wet sound with every step.

Once they were far from that area, the five of them stopped in a relatively dry open space and each found a place to sit down and adjust their breathing.

No one spoke; only the sound of slightly heavy breathing echoed softly through the woods.

"First Soul Skill: My baguette is white and soft."

A white spirit ring appeared beneath Li Zhishu's feet, and his hands flashed with light. Several palm-sized, golden baguettes appeared, emitting a warm wheat aroma.

He distributed baguettes to everyone: "Have some, it will help you recover your soul power faster."

The group took the food and ate slowly with the water bottle.

After eating warm food, the fatigue eased slightly, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a bit.

"Wang Teng, what's the specific situation inside the lair?"

Yang Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Did that spider really devour all the surrounding soul beasts?"

Wang Teng swallowed the food in his mouth and described in detail what he had seen: winding passages, piles of bones, and egg sacs and stored flesh deep inside.

After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.

"So, it was indeed what it did."

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, then continued, "But the Soul Hunter Forest is usually cleaned up regularly by Soul Masters, so how could a Soul Beast that is nearly seven hundred years old suddenly appear?"

"Perhaps it accidentally wandered over from a deeper place."

Wang Teng speculated.

"Alright, now that the truth has been found out, our mission is complete."

Zhang Feng stood up, dusted himself off, and said to everyone, "Has everyone rested enough? Let's get ready to head back."

"Yes, Commander."

Everyone responded in unison and then began to pack their belongings.

Morning light pierced through the mist, casting beams of light through the forest.

The five figures walked steadily out of the forest, passing through the light and mist.

Behind them, in the distant forest, the area of ​​nests shrouded in spider webs fell silent once more.

Three days later, Wang Teng and his group finally left the Soul Hunter Forest and returned to the familiar Soul Hunter Town.

Upon entering the town's stone-paved road, the five people split up and went their separate ways.
