You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"How could there be a third-tier demonic beast, the White Jade Spider, here?" Chen Huai'an rolled away on the spot.

There are white jade spiders in this mine. This should be the depths of the abandoned mine mentioned in the sect's records. It's very dangerous inside.

When they went down into the mine, the foreman warned them not to go too deep into the abandoned mine shafts, as it was dangerous.

The third-tier demonic beast, the White Jade Spider, is equivalent to a master in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. This White Jade Spider is a cave-dwelling creature, and there are surprisingly many of them in this cave.

"No, these white jade spiders must have just laid eggs. These fist-sized white jade spiders are baby spiders laid by the mother spider." As Chen Huai'an continued to fly backward, he discovered that the white jade spiders were not as terrifying as he had imagined.

These little spiders look terrifying and give you the creeps, but they're not very strong; he could crush them with a single stomp.

However, Chen Huai'an did not stomp on the small spiders. He tried to avoid them as much as possible because with the mother spider around, if Chen Huai'an stomped on the small spiders, he would be attracting aggro.

A third-tier demonic beast is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment realm expert.

Among demonic beasts and cultivators of the same cultivation level, demonic beasts possess thicker hides, stronger defense, and greater vitality, far surpassing cultivators of the same level. It often takes several cultivators of the same cultivation level to kill one.

The white jade spider before him was a third-tier demon beast, and with so many smaller spiders around, even a Foundation Establishment immortal master would have to temporarily avoid its sharp edge, let alone a Qi Refining immortal master.

"No, this white jade spider should have just laid its eggs and its body should still be very weak. If we attack now, we'll have a very high chance of killing it. And why is the white jade spider in this underground mine? There must be some treasure here." Chen Huai'an's mind raced.

It's true that the White Jade Spider is a third-tier demonic beast, but Chen Huai'an possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and his fire-attribute magic power is naturally restrained by this beast. He took a gamble, and unexpected benefits followed.

This underground mine is deep inside, and few people are here. There's no need to worry about being betrayed.

To Chen Huai'an's surprise, a third-tier demonic beast appeared deep within the underground mine. The sect would definitely try to eliminate these demonic beasts, otherwise, the safety of the mine slaves entering the mine would not be guaranteed.

Chen Huai'an's intuition told him that the white jade spider was in this abandoned mine because there must be treasure inside.

Previously, when hunting monsters in the Qingyun Mountains, some rare and precious materials were guarded by monsters.

"Squeak..."

Chen Huai'an ran ahead, with the white jade spider chasing behind. He suddenly turned around and launched a series of fireballs at the white jade spider, which let out a squeaking roar.

The fireball spell Chen Huai'an unleashed had an extremely high flame temperature. The white jade spider also had strong defenses. The fireball spell exploded on its huge body without harming it. Red marks appeared on its snow-white, jade-like body.

Actually, it wasn't that Chen Huai'an's fireball technique couldn't break through the opponent's defense; his fireball technique had already injured the opponent, but it hadn't reached the critical point yet. Even so, the white jade spider was still screaming in pain.

Chen Huai'an was wondering if he could pierce the White Jade Spider's defenses if he combined his Earth Spike Technique with his Metal Magic.

Once the White Jade Spider's defenses are broken, a fireball attack will surely cripple it.

"It's feasible, but doing it this way consumes too much energy from fusing the two elemental mana. I just don't know how effective this attack will be." As Chen Huai'an spoke, the golden earth spikes he had condensed shot towards the white jade spider.

"Pfft!"

With a soft "plop," the golden earth spike pierced the white jade spider's body. The spider roared to the sky, its mouth opening wide, spewing out a gust of wind carrying a strong, foul stench. Then, a spider web enveloped Chen Huai'an.

The white jade spider's attacks consist of gale-force winds, spider silk, and its mouthparts. However, Chen Huai'an did not engage the white jade spider in close combat, so his mouthparts were completely useless.

"This is just a third-tier demon beast. It's nothing special. Although it's a bit stronger than that mutated Yin Puppet, the difference is only slight." The reason Chen Huai'an was able to gain the upper hand in this battle was entirely due to the White Jade Spider. Its size was relatively large, and his attacks could hit the opponent's vital points.

The Yin Puppet's defense is stronger than that of the White Jade Spider, making it difficult for Chen Huai'an to break through its defenses. Even if he did manage to break through, he couldn't harm any vital organs.

Flames are extremely effective against the white jade spider. Its abdomen was breached by earth spikes formed from two types of magic, and its fireballs struck its abdomen, causing the white jade spider to howl in pain.

His small, previously fierce eyes were now filled with terror when he looked at Chen Huai'an.

Taking advantage of his illness, Chen Huai'an seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on the white jade spider.

In just one attack, the white jade spider was severely injured and retreated deep into the cave, commanding the smaller spiders along the way to attack Chen Huai'an.

Seeing the swarming spiders, Chen Huai'an unleashed a fireball spell that exploded on the ground, instantly clearing a path. Under the terrifying fire attack, the spiders were all reduced to ashes.

Just as Chen Huai'an was fighting the white jade spider, an uninvited guest arrived in the mine behind him.

No, this uninvited guest is none other than the mutated Yin Puppet that Chen Huai'an was chasing earlier.

This Yin Puppet possesses remarkable intelligence; it even knows how to use others to do its dirty work.

As long as Chen Huai'an and the white jade spider fight to the death, he can reap the benefits.

Because of Chen Huai'an's strength, Yin Kui sensed the battle deep in the mine but did not follow closely. Instead, he absorbed the Yin energy in the mine to recover his strength.

The white jade spider retreated hastily, its smaller spiders already wiped out by Chen Huai'an's Flame Tree, leaving it with nowhere to go. Chen Huai'an then unleashed an Earth Spike Technique, a fusion of metal and earth attributes, aimed at the white-winged spider's head.

This was Chen Huai'an's killing move. At first, there was only one, but it eventually became three. Two of them were dodged by the opponent, but the last one was ruthlessly plunged into the opponent's head.

The white jade spider's body crashed to the ground. Chen Huai'an did not approach rashly, but instead fired two more earth spikes into the creature's head. Only after sensing with his divine sense that the beast's life force had completely vanished did he step forward to investigate.

This battle also made Chen Huai'an realize the advantages of his Five Elements Spiritual Roots. If he only had a simple Fire or Earth Spiritual Root, even a cultivator with a Metal Spiritual Root would have had a hard time killing the White Jade Spider.

The opponent's defense is very strong. Even with the help of magical artifacts, he would not be able to break through the opponent's defense.

If Chen Huai'an had used a mid-grade or high-grade magic weapon, he could have broken through the opponent's defense, but he didn't, so he could only rely on his Five Elements magic.

The most valuable parts of the White Jade Spider are its silk and its sharp mandibles, both of which are top-grade materials for crafting weapons.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Huai'an put the white jade spider's corpse into his storage bag.

"call out!"

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, followed by a black flame shooting towards Chen Huai'an's back.
