Tong Yan told him about the cave behind the water curtain, and the two of them decided to go in and have a look. Coming to the secret realm is for experience. Such a good opportunity should not be missed.
After passing through the water curtain, there was a large hole more than three meters high. The entrance was damp and nothing unusual could be seen. They continued walking inside, the ground began to dry, and occasionally white spider silk could be seen on the cave wall.
After walking for a while, we came across several passages. The entrances were covered with thick spider silk. With spiders' ability to perceive things, they should have discovered the intruders.
The two looked at each other, and then entered one of the passages one after another.
As he was walking, Tong Yan accidentally stepped on a piece of spider silk tangled on the ground and couldn't lift his feet.
She was just trying to see if these spider silks were really invulnerable to water and fire. The spiritual power gathered on her fingertips, first becoming water and then fire, and indeed the spider silks still stuck to her shoes.
At this time, Shen Zhuangheng fired a flame at the spider silk under her feet, and the spider silk was easily burned out.
Tong Yan asked in surprise, "Why doesn't my fire work? What kind of fire is yours?"
Shen Zhuangheng's fire was a little darker red than the one she used, and it was only the size of a match and could crush other fires, which was a bit strange.
Shen Zhuangheng said: "It's a strange fire, red lotus."
"The legendary one? Red Lotus Karmic Fire?!" She had only seen an introduction about it before, but she didn't expect it to appear on him.
Shen Zhuangheng nodded, and his vision dimmed in front of him. Because of this red lotus karma fire, he almost died before he could see Tong Yan.
The fire used by ordinary monks is only slightly more powerful than ordinary firewood, while the strange fire completely suppresses ordinary flames.
Red Lotus is also very famous among countless strange fires.
There are also Samadhi True Fire and Netherworld True Flame, both of which are powerful strange fires in the world of cultivation. Netherworld True Flame basically has no temperature and is even cold, but what’s awesome about it is that it can directly attack the soul of a monk, ignoring defense, especially overbearing.
However, the first strange fire is still more powerful. Its name is Chaos Sky Fire, which can burn everything in the world. I heard that the flame is stored in the divine artifact Heaven and Earth Baking Cauldron.
Although the alien fires are strong, it is very difficult to subdue them. They often escape death and are burned to death, leaving no one to save them.
"Why haven't I heard you talk about this? You were in seclusion at that time because of the strange fire?" Tong Yan asked.
Shen Zhuangheng hummed and said in a relaxed tone, "Since I have nothing to do, what else can I say? I can't tell you in detail how I fought against a small flame in my dream."
Tong Yan glanced at him silently and said reluctantly: "That's okay. If you want to talk, I can listen."
Shen Zhuangheng smiled and downplayed the difficulties, "Red Lotus hit me, I hit him back, and then we were even."
Tong Yan listened for a long time without waiting for the next sentence, and asked in disbelief, "That's it?"
Shen Zhuangheng nodded and confirmed her statement, "That's it."
"Perfunctory." Tong Yan chuckled dissatisfied.
Shen Zhuangheng inadvertently pushed her and urged, "Keep walking and don't dwell on this boring topic."
Since he was fine, why should he worry about her anymore.
After entering, these passages continued to branch off, as if they had no bottom. If she were alone, she would probably go back and choose another path, but now that Shen Zhuangheng was following, she had to discuss it with him.
Shen Zhuangheng said: "Go forward, these spider silks are all new, there must be monsters at the end."
Sure enough, the two of them didn't walk for too long. The passage ended, and a spacious cave appeared. There was also a passage to other places. There was a huge spider web hanging in front of it, and the monster disappeared without a trace.
Tong said: "Separate and look around. If you encounter a monster, call us again."
Shen Zhuangheng had no objection and turned around and entered the passage next to him.
She then entered the room in front of her. Soon after entering, she found traces of a fight on the ground, and it was not long ago. It was most likely the two monks who came in first.
There was a turning point ahead. She drew the Long Yue Sword to be on guard and approached cautiously step by step.
Before the monster was seen, a white unknown object flew towards me, which was the iron spider's silk.
But since he noticed her coming, Tong Yan was puzzled as to why the monster only attacked around the corner and didn't show up, so he popped out again.
This time there was no more spider silk. She looked closely and saw that there was a half-dead spider lying in the passage. It was half a man tall and very huge. All its limbs had been chopped off with sharp weapons, and there was a big hole in its back.
The blow just now was already the last blow for it to return to its glory.
Tong Yan crossed it and walked inside. A huge spider web appeared in front of him again, and at this moment, there was a spider on it that was spinning silk to wrap around its prey.
The face of the person wrapped in spider silk was ashen, his breath was so weak that he could hardly hear it, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
When the spider noticed that Tong Yan was in front of her, it finally gave up on storing food and turned to attack her.
The shell and each pair of appendages of this monster beast are as hard as iron, with good attack and defense power, hence the name Iron Spider.
It directly sprays a ball of spider silk to attack. If it is accidentally hit, the limbs may be stuck by the spider silk.
Tong Yan just made a habitual slash with his spirit sword. Although the spider silk split into two halves and fell to the ground, some of them inevitably stuck to the sword body.
The monster in front of her was only a third-level creature and not very strong. She killed it without much effort, then walked around the corpse and came to the wrapped person.
As long as Long Yue Sword is infused with spiritual power, the strength of spider silk cannot be compared to it. She first cuts off the spider web on her back, and then rescues the unlucky person who was entangled into a rice dumpling with only one head exposed.
Speaking of which, this iron spider was only at the third level, and the one at the door was not even at the fourth level. How did this person end up almost being killed by a beast?
Tong Yan first poured water on the face, and the water condensed into ice. She then knocked it on the surface and the spider silk shattered along with the ice. Then she gave the man an antidote pill. As for whether he could survive, she didn't know. .
Just after doing this, her spiritual consciousness noticed a strange noise coming from another cave entrance. She left a protective array plate for the person lying down and rushed over immediately.
Tong Yan's speed was very fast, and in a short time he arrived at the place where the fight was taking place, which was a wider cave.
The huge iron spider in front of me was at least in the fifth level range. It was about the size of a cow. Coupled with its four pairs of thick arm appendages and burrs like steel needles, it looked particularly terrifying.
The one fighting it was Shen Zhuangheng, and Tong Yan stepped forward to help without saying a word.
This monster was no better than the cubs she had encountered before. Because of its huge size, it could use its two pairs of rear legs to prop up its body and then wave its front limbs to attack its opponent.
Tong Yan stood behind it, which was very convenient for attacking. She raised her spirit sword and aimed it at its abdomen.
There was a harsh sound of iron, and the sword she slashed with half strength only made a gash.
Although the damage was not enough, this sword also took away the hatred towards Shen Zhuangheng, and the Iron Spider directly abandoned him and attacked her instead.
Hearing Shen Zhuangheng's caution, Tong Yan quickly hid behind the passage, and the next moment, her huge forelimbs suddenly plunged into the ground where she had just stood.
