The path soon reached the end, and there was a large forest in front of it. At first glance, it looked like a good place for killing people and stealing goods.
According to Liu Zhi, the sect assigned them the task of exploring the mountains and forests in this area, so if they meet outsiders, they are most likely to be members of the Demon Sect.
Chen Yang couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he didn't use those code words rashly to contact the upright disciples.
Several people walked through the dense forest and found a nest of a demon-faced spider.
Near such nests, there are usually demon-faced spider egg sacs that can be collected.
The egg sac of the demon-faced spider contains highly toxic substances, but it can be used to refine a variety of detoxifying elixirs. It is an extremely precious raw material for elixirs.
Chen Yang had heard of this kind of elixir, but had never seen a real demon-faced spider, so he couldn't help but be interested.
He had a lot of qi-replenishing and healing elixirs in his hand, but there was no detoxifying elixir. The demon-faced spider egg sac was the raw material he lacked.
The demon-faced spider is very aggressive, especially when protecting its egg sacs, and will attack the enemy in groups desperately. Therefore, everyone must work together to form a defensive formation to avoid being sneak-attacked by the extremely fast demon-faced spider.
According to Liu Zhi's arrangement, Chen Yang, the most inexperienced, stood at the end of the formation and was responsible for intercepting the demon-faced spider attacking from behind. Liu Zhi took the lead into the demon-faced spider's lair holding a lighting magic weapon in one hand and a long sword in the other.
.
This is a naturally formed cave. The cave walls are covered with white spider silk. The dark and narrow cave tunnel winds all the way down. The feet are covered with mucus and are extremely slippery.
Everyone moved forward cautiously. Along the way, a monster-faced spider the size of a human head occasionally jumped out and was instantly pierced by Liu Zhi's sword.
"Be careful, we are almost reaching the cave of the demon-faced spider's egg sac."
Liu Zhi observed the surrounding environment and judged based on experience that the group was approaching their destination and would most likely encounter an attack from the mother spider.
According to Liu Zhi, the female demon-faced spider is twice as big as the male spider, has venomous fangs, and can spin silk from her mouth to attack enemies.
Since the cave is narrow, Liu Zhi will be the first to face the attack.
He handed the lighting instrument in his hand to his junior brother standing behind him, and then took out a shield the size of a pot lid from his storage bag.
As Liu Zhi finished reciting the spell, a circle of flames suddenly appeared on the shield.
"The silk of the demon-faced spider is so sticky that it is difficult to break with a sword. If it gets entangled, it will be difficult to escape. This shield is a powerful weapon to restrain the silk."
Seeing Chen Yang's confusion, Liu Zhi explained, then lowered his head and ducked into the egg sac cave of the demon-faced spider.
But at this moment, the cave suddenly shook violently, and then Liu Zhi emerged from the cave with a pale face, shouting in horror: "Run out quickly!"
Everyone didn't know why, but no one asked a question, turned around and ran away the way they came.
Chen Yang, who was originally at the bottom, became the leader.
Fortunately, he observed the surrounding environment vigilantly when he came, and did not take the wrong path. He accurately found the passage he came from in the caves that extend in all directions.
Liu Zhi, who was cutting off the road behind, secretly appreciated it. He was also worried that Chen Yang would lead the wrong way, but Chen Yang didn't need to be reminded at all.
"Senior brother, what's going on inside?"
After running for a while, a female disciple from Yunling Valley asked.
"It's a giant demon-faced spider that I've never seen before. It's ten feet long. It's so dangerous!"
As soon as Liu Zhi finished speaking, there was a rustling sound behind him, the ground shook, and his face turned pale.
