These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

It's better than the sword that ordinary disciples used before, which was only good for practicing. At least it hasn't chipped yet, which is quite rare.

It's just not as good as Bai Youwei's.

"Probably...we'll see how things go first."

Bai Youwei nodded silently, her expression becoming even more composed.

It was as if those things had become distant memories and no longer mattered, or perhaps they were simply temporarily suppressed, leaving no time to dwell on them. The girl, however, seemed unaware that despite the escalating hatred in her heart, she subconsciously obeyed the boy's words.

"Help……"

The cries for help seemed to grow weaker and weaker, but they also made the two feel that the distance between them was closing.

Wei Tu suddenly stopped, and Bai Youwei also stopped and stood beside Wei Tu.

Bai Youwei followed Wei Tu's gaze and looked over.

Then you see something about the size of a person, resembling a silkworm cocoon, hanging in a circle of towering trees that can almost block out the sky.

It was hung in the center of the circle, and the giant trees seemed to have become some kind of totem, performing a ritual for the silkworm pupa.

When Bai Youwei finally managed to see clearly, she was astonished to discover that there was a head at the very bottom of the silkworm cocoon, and that head was none other than Gong Ziqi's face!

And what was hanging this 'silkworm pupa' was actually a tough spider silk.

Spider silk...

It suddenly seemed to stir up some unpleasant memories.

"This is……"

Without hesitation, Wei Tu volunteered, "Let's go and rescue them first."

Bai Youwei was surprised by Wei Tu's somewhat reckless actions at this moment, as if he hadn't even discerned the situation, whether there were any strange monsters lying in ambush, or whether this was a trap.

She couldn't help but reach out and grasp Wei Tu's wrist.

"Wait, didn't you see clearly..."

Wei Tu turned her head and glanced at the hand that was holding hers. Bai Youwei belatedly realized what was happening and immediately let go of the other's wrist, her face still looking as aloof as ever.

Wei Tu simply said calmly, "There isn't much time to see what's going on. Even if there are issues, they'll be dealt with later. Three people will handle it much more smoothly than two. If you're worried, you can stay here."

The boy finished speaking in a somewhat indifferent manner and strode over.

Bai Youwei felt an urge to stomp her feet in frustration. He was so indifferent to her concern! What a heartless man…

But her body honestly followed Wei Tu's footsteps.

Gong Ziqi seemed a little confused. By the time he saw Wei Tu approaching, they were already very close.

I couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

"Junior Brother Wei... Junior Sister Bai! You really are here..."

"Shh...don't speak yet. We'll talk when we're safe. I'll put you down first."

After speaking, Wei Tu gestured to Bai Youwei beside him. The girl snorted coldly, and although she was dissatisfied, she still raised her hand and shone a beam of moonlight, which was indescribably beautiful and elegant.

Suddenly, the spider silk that was suspending Gong Ziqi snapped, and Gong Ziqi almost fell to the ground headfirst. At this moment, Wei Tu reached out and hugged the 'silkworm pupa'.

Then he placed him on the ground and used his sword to precisely break through the layers of restraints on Gong Ziqi's body, one by one.

Gong Ziqi seemed to relax and sat on the ground, letting out a long sigh.

"I've finally found you... I was so worried about you! How could you have come to such a deep place? How could I explain to my sect if something happened to you..."

Wei Tu looked at Gong Ziqi with deep eyes.

"Senior Brother Gong, aren't you afraid of running so deep alone?"

Gong Ziqi smiled sheepishly.

"I thought the place you came from wasn't dangerous... I didn't expect we'd already gone deep into the area. Unlike you, Junior Brother Wei, who is so knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times, I didn't even have time to be afraid. By the time I realized it, we were already deep inside..."

Wei Tu seemed amused as well, "Senior Brother Gong is really lucky..."

"Wait...you two stop talking for now."

Bai Youwei, standing to the side, tensed up, her voice turning slightly cold.

So the two men looked up following Bai Youwei's gaze.

Then we saw a scene very similar to the one before.

Numerous pairs of bright red eyes appeared on these rings of giant trees; one could almost imagine how many red-eyed spiders were staring at them without even seeing them clearly.

Gong Ziqi's voice trembled involuntarily.

"These spiders... they're disgusting, huge, and they can spray webs. They've wrapped me up in layers and hung me here. It seems... it seems they know you're nearby and want to lure you out!"

Bai Youwei took a deep breath. "These things are so cunning?"

Wei Tu gripped his sword and pulled Gong Ziqi up from the ground.

"They wouldn't have existed for so long if they didn't have intelligence. In a place like this, instinct alone isn't enough... This must be a specific place for these red-eyed spiders to hunt large monsters. They have learned here to build a powerful clan in order to survive better."

Bai Youwei bit her lip. "Let's not analyze this now. What should we do? Split up or run together?"

Gong Ziqi immediately said, "Of course we should go together! If we split up and encounter other monsters, we won't be able to deal with them alone!"

Wei Tu nodded. "Let's move to the outer perimeter together."

So the three of them prepared to move simultaneously in the direction Wei Tu was facing.

"Bah!"

In an instant, as if without any warning, those scarlet eyes showed no fluctuation, but suddenly a loud sound erupted, almost simultaneously.

As soon as the three of them looked up, they saw layers of thick, white spider webs rushing towards them from all directions!

The overwhelming spider webs reminded Bai Youwei of a phrase: a net that stretches from heaven to earth.

"There's no way to dodge it, draw your sword!"

Wei Tu made the most accurate judgment in that instant.

The three men drew their swords almost simultaneously, and in that moment when there was no way to retreat, they almost simultaneously unleashed a burst of sword light.

The sword light pointed upwards at the spider webs rushing towards them, like a vast expanse of moonlight, tearing the webs apart the instant it touched them.

The loose spiderwebs falling from mid-air were like scattered snowflakes, landing dot by dot on the soil.

At the same time, the numerous red-eyed spiders began to move their long, slender legs swiftly, making a crisp 'tap-tap-tap' sound. Their sounds were incredibly rapid, as if they were preparing for the next move to launch another attack on the three prey they were determined to capture.

"Open an opening!"

Wei Tu issued another order and took the lead in rushing towards the side with slightly fewer troops.

"Sizzle!!"

The red-eyed spider let out an angry roar and spat out a patch of pure white web.

Wei Tu crouched down slightly, dodging the spider web, and at the same time, his bent knees exerted force quickly.

The boy rose slightly into the air, as if leaping, seemingly heading towards the red-eyed spider to his death.

But in the instant it passed over the other person's head.

"puff!"

A sword pierced the massive back of the red-eyed spider, spraying out a viscous liquid.

As Wei Tu landed steadily, he slashed horizontally with his sword.

"boom!"

Cut off one of the red-eyed spider's legs to make it lose its balance, then another sword strike will take off another leg!

The spider collapsed completely to the ground.

At the same time, Gong Ziqi and Bai Youwei also arrived at the boy's side.

The three of them worked together for a short time and managed to carve a bloody path through the enemy lines, sword by sword.

Everywhere were the enormous bodies of red-eyed spiders, and the ground was covered in a sticky liquid, as if it had turned into a swamp.

Wei Tu quickly realized something was wrong. While leaning against a high slope, he discovered that the red-eyed spider behind him had given up the chase.

Gong Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally escaped..."

Bai Youwei nodded, looking somewhat tired.

Wei Tu gently adjusted her breathing, but frowned as she spoke.

"Watch out..."

"Be careful again?"

Gong Ziqi had not expected Wei Tu to be so vigilant.

Bai Youwei also looked over, though she was thinking: I want to see what kind of nonsense you're going to spout this time.

Wei Tu said softly, "They clearly weren't completely outmaneuvered by us, but they gave up the pursuit so quickly. There's only one possibility."

"What……?"

"If you were a hunter, under what circumstances would you give up prey that is within your grasp?"

Gong Ziqi was a little confused, but Bai Youwei quickly realized what was going on and said in a slightly trembling voice.
