Born with immortal seed

Chapter 70 Ghost-Faced Jade Spider
The abandoned cave passages are narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side at most.

Cai Heng and Luo Qi walked in front, Lu Song stood next to Xun Shuang, and Bai Zichen brought up the rear.

In this dark and damp environment, for fear of disturbing the Jade Spider, only the faint sound of footsteps and dripping water echoed.

After walking for a while, the group felt a sense of oppression; the dark passage seemed like a gaping maw of a monster about to swallow them whole.

"Old Luo, why aren't we here yet? Did you go this deep last time you came in?"

The luminous pearl emitted a white light, casting the figures of the group onto the stone wall, making them appear indistinct and like demons and monsters baring their fangs and claws.

Xun Shuang lowered his voice and asked in a trembling tone.

"There are too many forks in the road here, it seems to be nearby..."

Luo Qi was so terrified that day that he couldn't remember the right path at all.

"Silence!"

Bai Zichen appeared to be walking at the back with his sword in hand, but in reality, he was spreading his divine sense to take in the surrounding situation.

They vaguely sensed a huge creature crawling on the top of the stone wall ahead, its body upright, and switched hands to wield the Ink Bamboo Sword.

"hiss……"

Rounding the corner, a spider the size of a millstone came into view, perched on a protruding, sharp rock above.

Centered on it, the surrounding area is covered with spider webs. The faint light of the luminous pearl shines on the spider silk, and you can see specks of slime dripping down.

"Ghost-faced Jade Spider!"

Cai Heng shouted with relief. The appearance of the target actually made him feel better than being on edge, worried that an attack might come from the shadows at any moment.

"Move according to plan! Senior Brother Bai, please cover for us and strike at the crucial moment to kill the demonic beast!"

"it is good."

Bai Zichen gave a brief reply, his attention focused on the Ghost-Faced Jade Spider.

This spider is entirely white, except for black rings around the joints of its limbs.

Its back is covered with hideous patterns, and at first glance it looks like a man-eating demon face.

Furthermore, the eight legs of the Jade Spider with the Ghost Face have already faintly revealed their jade color, making them qualitatively different from the rest of its body.

Cai Heng forcefully shoved the animal-hide shield into the ground, and a yellowish-brown spiritual light appeared, connecting the shield to the earth.

The originally small shield suddenly exuded a sense of weight and solidity, as if a mountain was blocking its way.

Luo Qi quickly launched a series of fireballs from his hand, interspersed with two fire snakes, making them even more powerful.

The spider web crackled and popped as it was burned by the fireball, then quickly shrank and slowly melted in the flames.

Two fiery serpents flew toward the Ghost-Faced Jade Spider, one on the left and one on the right.

Lu Song flicked his golden dagger, which transformed into twelve golden blades in mid-air, slashing at the Ghost-Faced Jade Spider from various angles.

As for Xun Shuang, he sat cross-legged, raised the oil lamp in his hand, closed his eyes, and tried his best to activate it.

A tiny flame, no bigger than a grain of rice, flickered in and out of the lamp, as if it might go out at any moment.

"Not bad! They're starting to look like a team."

Bai Zichen secretly praised them, these few handymen disciples were clearly completely different from those makeshift troupes.

Despite being nervous, he remained calm upon seeing the Jade Spider and was able to act according to the established plan.

The Jade Spider with Ghost Faces lives underground year-round, preferring shade and fearing fire, so Cai Heng and his group were clearly well-prepared.

The four worked together seamlessly. Even without Bai Zichen's help, they would have had a good chance of capturing the Ghost Face Jade Spider if they had just found two more handymen disciples.

The Jade Spider with the Ghost Face crawled along the web, its eight legs stretched out, each nearly ten feet long, its movements incredibly agile.

The fireballs all landed in empty space, sending shards of rock flying everywhere.

The two fiery serpents collided with a loud bang, exploding into countless sparks, and the heat wave spread in all directions.

The Jade Spider emerged from the flames unscathed, and just as the two fire snakes merged, it accelerated and dodged away with a ghostly speed that was completely disproportionate to its size.

At the same time, it opened its mouthparts and sprayed out a ball of spider silk, which was initially only the size of a fist, but in an instant it turned into a large net.

The spider web fell, completely enveloping the twelve golden knives, the layers of spider silk binding them into a thick cocoon.

Lu Song's face turned pale. The magical artifact he had refined suddenly lost its connection. He could only frantically urge his magic power to try to bring back the set of golden swords.

Squeak!

The Jade Spider let out a few sharp, urgent cries, and quickly scrambled to the front of the formation, raising its two slightly shorter forelegs and slashing down.

Like two sharp scythes, they brought up a gust of wind, threatening to cleave everything in front of them in two.

Bai Zichen stared at the pale white abdomen of the Ghost-faced Jade Spider as it raised its forelegs, and his Ink Bamboo Sword flew out, ready to pierce it through.

The emerald sword light exploded in the passage, then abruptly turned halfway through its flight, slashing down into the shadows.

With a clang of metal clashing, the dark green sword light failed to achieve its goal, and a ghost-faced jade spider crawled out of the shadows.

It was twice the size of the previous one, and its body had been completely transformed into jade.

"There are two Jade Spiders with Ghost Faces... Hold on, I'll come help you after I take care of the big one!"

Bai Zichen's divine sense was constantly emanating outwards. He sensed an object rapidly approaching from the shadows, which caused him to reverse the sword light and change the direction of his attack.

Whether it was due to mutation or simply the advanced age of this giant ghost-faced jade spider, it had become a top-tier first-order demon beast.

It survived a slash from the Ink Bamboo Sword with its spider legs, leaving only a shallow sword mark, demonstrating the incredible toughness of its body.

Without much thought, Bai Zichen threw out the Crimson Pearl Umbrella. The umbrella opened and spun around once, and as soon as the crimson glow of the umbrella unfolded, several cold beams struck it.

boom! boom! boom!
The spider's legs, powerful enough to shatter gold and break stone, collided with the crimson clouds, only managing to break through one layer before being repelled without any further momentum. Enraged, the giant ghost-faced jade spider spat out a mouthful of venom, which splashed onto the nearby stone wall and quickly melted away, creating holes and sending up foul-smelling blue smoke.

"Such a potent toxin!"

Bai Zichen was startled, but fortunately, the Crimson Canopy Pearl Umbrella lived up to its reputation as a top-grade magic weapon. The pearls flickered, and the crimson glow easily blocked the poison.

With the protective umbrella, he unleashed his full power, wielding his sword with his own body, completely disregarding the attacks of the Ghost-Faced Jade Spider, striking the same spider leg with several consecutive sword strikes.

The Jade Spider cried out in pain, and an even larger and denser spider web descended from the sky. Hundreds of spider silks rapidly contracted, about to wrap him up like a dumpling.

Bai Zichen chuckled lightly, his body and sword becoming one, the sword light actively rushing towards the spider web.

The figure moved nimbly in the air, wielding the sword at will. Wherever the sword light reached, the spider silk broke, and in a few moves, the spider web was cut into pieces.

An indescribable sense of freedom and ease.

He was only able to be so bold because he had the Crimson Pearl Umbrella. Each broken spider silk snapped open with tremendous force.

Even with all the twists and turns, at least fifty or sixty spider silk threads still clung to her body.

The force of each spider silk thread is enough to tear a person in two.

But when the ball hits the crimson sunset, it merely stirs up ripples that continue endlessly.

The giant jade spider with the ghost face actually showed fear, and its body retreated several steps. The ghost face pattern on its back shrank together, like a strange face that had been kneaded into a ball.

Hearing the screams and shouts behind him, Bai Zichen was not about to let the giant ghost-faced jade spider escape. He turned his ink bamboo sword and activated it with all his might, and a dark green sword light that was much more dazzling than before shot out like lightning.
