Chapter 1301: Lair

the direction controlled by Lu Xia Tian, a few inches away from his forehead, but Lu Xia Tian's two fingers had already reached the hilt of the sword. The old man’s strength lay in his speed, but at c...Lu Xiaoxian was just about to concentrate his spiritual energy into Xiang Qingcheng's body to expel the demon. The monster felt a great threat and tried to burrow into Xiang Qingcheng's Nascent Soul. Xiang Qingcheng, who had originally looked asleep, suddenly trembled. A painful expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Lu Xia Tian was startled by the demon's actions and hurriedly retracted his magical power. Otherwise, if he acted carelessly, this demon might damage Qin Cheng's Nascent Soul, and he would surely regret it later.

"Perhaps finding the demon could remove its influence within Xiang Qingcheng's body." Lu Xiaoteng's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. He took out several jade pieces from inside the barrier, gathering all the transformed yuan stone stalactites in this place. By chance, he encountered such a treasure for recovering injuries, naturally he couldn't miss it. The conditions for forming the liquid from these transformed yuan stone stalactites were extremely harsh; there must be a spiritual vein underground, and it would take decades to form a single drop. This small pool, who knows how many years it has taken to accumulate If the amount was too small, it might not even be effective for Lu Xiaoteng. Although Xiang Qingcheng had consumed some, there was still enough for Lu Xiaoteng to use about two more times. Even though Lu Xiaoteng was a tenth-level body cultivator, there were still times when his physical body could be severely injured.

After receiving the stone stalactite, Lu Xiaoxiao scooped up Xiang Qingcheng and chased in the direction the monster had fled. However, this monster was extremely familiar with this place. Having lived in Shi Yao Cave for a long time, when fleeing, it would inevitably consider that Lu Xiaoxiao might pursue it. Along the way, he had already done his best to conceal his breath. Lu Xiaoxiao searched for a while but lost its trace. However, at this time, Lu Xiaoxiao had already left the place filled with corrosive power.

"Without the power of corrosion to affect you, where else can you run" Lu Xia Tian curled his lips and released the Chasing Soul Hound from his spirit beast pouch.

“Woof!” The spirit hound barked a few times, then quickly turned east with Lu XiaTian.

That monster was quite cunning, deliberately leaving some of its breath in this direction before fleeing in another. If it hadn't been for the spirit hound, he might have been led into a ditch by it. Lu Xiaoteng twitched his lips; this monster's intelligence was truly outstanding within the Shiyao Cave.

In fact, Lu Xia Tian's guess was not bad. If he went a little further, Lu Xia Tian would have encountered a very powerful Twelfth-order Stone Scorpion demon. A great battle would be inevitable then.

After traveling for thousands of miles, he didn't encounter any other stone demons. However, he arrived at a grove of towering stone mulberry trees. These stone mulberries exist in the outside world as well, but they only grow in places where earth spirit energy is extremely concentrated, and their numbers are not many.

"This is it," Lu Xia Tian said, seeing the reaction of the ghost hound. He knew this was where the monster's lair had been before.

Lu Xia Tian retracted the Soul Chasing Dog, concealed his aura, and entered this vast stone spirit mulberry grove.

Entering deep into the Shi Ling Sang Garden, there was a huge entrance on the ground. It was dark and quiet, with strange whirlwinds swirling inside from time to time. Lu Xiaotian held Xiang Qingcheng tightly and flashed into it.

Inside the cavern, strange rocks protruded from the walls. One could occasionally see webs hanging on the rock faces, or strewn across the ground. There were also cocoon-like things scattered about. Lu Xiaoteng could clearly discern traces of other demonic beasts having been active here. However, since this was the monster’s lair, it must be the monster's clan.

Suddenly, several sharp vines lashed out towards Lu Xiaottian.

"Finally showing yourself, I thought you'd hide forever." Lu Xia Tian said calmly, not forgetting that the monster still had a transparent tentacle invisible to the naked eye. Without hesitation, he activated his True Phantom Ice Pupils. The ethereal flying sword shot out again.

Ding ding ding......

The flying sword clashed again with the green vines, but this time the vines seemed to be losing ground.

“It seems this monster’s previous self-castration wasn't without consequence. It suffered some injuries and hasn't fully recovered yet.” As soon as they clashed, Lu Xiaoteng discovered something unusual about the monster. His ethereal flying sword seized the opportunity, relentlessly charging forward in a flurry of attacks, slashing at the monster.

Their formation was tight, swords ready, but the monster’s form flashed and it moved with incredible speed, once again putting distance between itself and Lu Xia Tian.

Lu Xia Tian naturally chased after him directly. In the previous battle, he also used all his means. Coupled with the power of Hei Tian Ji Sheng exceeding expectations, he managed to suppress this monster. Otherwise, it was difficult to predict who would win or lose. At least this monster, even if it lost, would not take drastic measures like a hero breaking his arm for survival and abandoning those two crucial transparent rattan whips.

Since this monster was injured and weakened, Lu Xiaotian naturally wanted to take advantage of its illness to kill it. He wouldn't give the other party any chance to breathe.

However, he was still inside the monster's lair after all, so Lu Xia Tian didn't dare to be careless. He had seen signs of many low-level monsters moving around here before, but now there were none in sight. Lu Xia Tian felt alert at the same time as a little puzzled.

This dark underground passage was like a complex subterranean palace. Lu Xia Tian chased after it relentlessly, not giving it any chance to escape.

He chased all the way to a wide open space, where the surrounding stone walls were smooth and warm. However, the ground was littered with piles of corpses, each with eight legs but bodies that resembled pale gold silkworm cocoons. These creatures were nothing more than shriveled skins, their insides seemingly drained completely.

"What kind of strange creatures are these" Lu Xia Tian considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable, but since entering the Stone Demon Cave, he had encountered many things he had never heard of. Indeed, reading ten thousand books is no substitute for traveling ten thousand miles.

Around this area, there were seven milky-white spheres, each reaching the height of a man. Inside the milky-white spheres, it was murky and filled with a liquid that emitted a faint metallic smell.

Seven round spheres, each connected by a white thread resembling veins, seemed to have had their inner fluid extracted into the center. And in the center, perched at this moment, was the monster from before.

The monster’s maw greedily sucked the liquid streaming into it from within the white sphere, its eyes blazing with ferocity.

“Little brother, hurry, stop him! If this golden orb-weaving spider drains the liquid inside the white ball, it will be powerful enough to greatly increase its strength in a short time!” A voice, extremely weak and familiar, reached Lu Xiaoxiao’s ears.

"A white-clad woman!" Lu Xia Tian was startled. This voice absolutely belonged to the white-clad woman, and it came from within that white sphere in front of him. Inside, it had transformed into a ball of viscous fluid with a bloody scent.

“It’s you!” Lu Xiaotian’s eyes widened suddenly. Seeing the monstrous aura rising steadily, he knew he couldn’t give it a chance. Eight flying swords merged into one, forming a hazy sword embryo. The sword light crisscrossed, directly targeting the monster whose aura was beginning to surge in the middle.

The monster let out a shriek, spitting out a white orb from its mouth. The orb shone brightly, shooting out strands of crystalline spider silk in several directions, wrapping towards Lu Xiaitian who had transformed into a sword embryo.n beside him replied with a nod and took the youth's hand, preparing to leave. When they saw Lu XiaTian walking over from afar, their eyes lit up instantly."Well, do you know this person" The young ma...
