Chapter 87 We can't go empty-handed!
In these ruins, everyone was fleeing, but how could they possibly escape the pursuit of the Nascent Soul demon beast? So one by one, they all ended up hanging on the giant spider web.
Some people instinctively tried to crush the teleportation jade tokens, but the spider demon beasts in the late Nascent Soul stage were more clever than them. They had already snatched the jade tokens away and then hung them one by one on the spider web, wrapping them up layer after layer.
Just as Lan Yue and the others were about to be entangled in the spider silk, she suddenly saw a familiar dark shadow beneath the giant spider.
Isn't that the green-hatted spider brothers we saw before?
She pounced at incredible speed, shouting, "Brother Spider, please have mercy!"
Perhaps her voice had an effect, because the spider webs behind her indeed stopped, and the pursuit ceased.
"Brother Spider, hehe, are you alright?" Lan Yue rubbed her hands together.
"What's your relationship with that senior colleague upstairs?"
Although Lan Yue appeared to be asking questions, she had actually secretly activated the system.
[Lan Yue: So Brother Spider is the precious son of that fifth-tier Nascent Soul spider. No wonder we can stay on the same spider web.]
After reading the system introduction, she felt even more confident.
"Brother Spider, we just wandered here by accident and didn't mean to disturb your rest."
"How about this, we'll give all the monsters we hunted to that senior, and you'll let us leave, okay?"
A group of people stuck to a spider web: "..."
Even at this point, you're still joking around with that little spider!
Even if you're dead, you still have time to play!
Despair filled everyone's hearts; it seemed they had truly failed this time.
At this moment, a group of people from the Southern Spirit Sect walked towards them from not far away. They had gathered together from the beginning.
With Qingzhu leading the way, the group moved very quickly and soon arrived at this place.
Qingzhu, who was holding a long sword, was startled when she saw the scene.
"Junior Sister Lanyue, Junior Sister Yunxi, we're here to save you!" A group of Nanling Sect disciples rushed over at lightning speed.
Before Qingzhu could warn them, the group of people were caught in the spider silk, and none of them were spared.
Qingzhu: "..."
Others: (இωஇ )
Who would have thought that the monster here was of such a high level? When they were far away, they couldn't sense the monster's aura at all. It really knows how to hide!
"Xingzhou, why don't we use our trump card? If we don't, we'll all be gone," Cang Dai said bitterly.
It seems they won't be able to complete this mission. They never expected there would be Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts in these ruins.
Baili Xingzhou did not immediately take out the seven-colored hollowed-out stone. "Wait, maybe there is still a chance with Lan Yue."
"Bai Lixingzhou, are you out of your mind? Why didn't you act when you should have? She's just a little girl who's only ten years old. How powerful could she be? You didn't buy your title of prospective Holy Son, did you?" Cang Dai was furious.
"Let me tell you, if she can really get that Nascent Soul stage demon beast to let us go, I'll be her subordinate for three years straight and protect her!"
At this moment, the little spider he hadn't thought much of swiftly climbed up and jumped onto the back of the larger spider, seemingly saying something.
The large spider was clearly furious, even throwing the little spider off. However, the little spider did not give up and crawled back and forth countless times. The large spider's anger gradually subsided.
Finally, it simply shattered the spider silk, throwing everyone out.
Cang Dai, who had been left behind, was still confused. When he saw that everyone else had landed not far away, he looked at the towering ancient tree in surprise.
"They really let us go?" He was dumbfounded.
"Isn't it obvious? We're free to move around, and the monsters aren't attacking us." A paper umbrella suddenly appeared in Qingzhu's hand. She stuck her long sword directly into the umbrella handle and then looked worriedly into the distance.
Because everyone else had already been left behind, except for Lan Yue.
"If you want to leave, then leave. I'll stay here and wait for Lanyue to come out," Qingzhu said with worry.
This Nascent Soul stage demon beast's cultivation level is far too high. Even if she were to fight with all her might and forcefully break through the cultivation suppression, she probably still wouldn't be able to defeat it.
I should have sent Senior Sister Xingyue. Although she is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, she is still capable of fighting against Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
However, it's no use saying anything now.
"I'll stay here too!" Yunxi said firmly.
Lan Yue saved her life, how could she escape alone?
If all else fails, she'll use any means she can to save her life!
Seeing this, the other disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect were also unwilling to leave.
Baili Xingzhou naturally wouldn't leave; he was staring intently at the tree, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lanyue's figure.
Cang Dai, on the other hand, looked embarrassed and could only sit there silently.
"Hey, you guys have to help me out."
The atmosphere quieted down, and just as everyone was feeling anxious, a voice suddenly came from above.
"Hi everyone! I might need your help." Lan Yue was suspended by a spider silk and slowly fell down.
However, even after her feet touched the ground, the spider silk did not leave; instead, it clung even tighter.
"It's just what you see right now. I just discussed it with Brother Spider. If we're going to release all the big guys, there will be a price to pay."
Before Lan Yue could finish speaking, the disciples of the Nanling Sect were already sobbing uncontrollably, especially Yun Xi, whose tears flowed like a surging stream.
"Lanyue, don't worry, we will definitely not leave, we will definitely not let you go to your death, we will fight that spider to the end!" Yunxi held two small swords in her hands.
"Don't worry, I have a way to save my life given to me by my father. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely rescue you!"
"Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely make sure nothing happens to you!" Qingzhu also said with a serious expression.
"Waaah, Lan Yue, you've suffered so much! We'll definitely find a way to rescue you. I'll crush the jade tablet right now!" another senior sister from the Southern Spirit Sect cried.
With so many people staring at her, Lan Yue scratched her head instead.
"Actually, I came here to say that Brother Spider and I agreed that after you leave, each of you must send over a few demonic beasts. Once my person has sent over all the demonic beasts, I will be free." Lan Yue chuckled.
Everyone: "That's all?"
"Yes, you must remember to come and deliver the demon beasts until the Nascent Soul stage meets the requirements. My life depends on you!" Lan Yue waved to them, and then was pulled back by the spider silk.
Even Qingzhu was somewhat amused and exasperated. She quickly released all the demonic beasts she had killed on the way, and the other disciples followed suit.
The open space in front of them was quickly piled up with monsters as tall as small mountains. In the blink of an eye, these monsters were wrapped up by spider silk and disappeared.
However, the giant spider still did not release Lan Yue.
"Let's go, let's continue hunting monsters!" Qingzhu opened her oil-paper umbrella and left with a murderous look on her face.
Baili Xingzhou glanced at the towering ancient tree, then led the people behind him to hunt monsters.
Before setting off, he said calmly, "If you don't want to kill the demon beasts, you can crush the jade token and leave now."
When Lan Yue came down, she not only told them about exchanging demonic beasts for people, but also brought them a bunch of teleportation jade tokens.
Cang Dai's face turned bright red: "I'm not that much of a beast!"
He thought everyone would agree with him, but to his surprise, everyone looked doubtful.
Cang Dai: "..."
He wiped his face, feeling he should reflect on his character, and then became even more silent.
Thinking of the little girl hanging pitifully from the tree, entangled in spider silk, he clenched his fists and decided to hunt down the monster fiercely!
However, Lan Yue was not as miserable as they had imagined, nor did she have the awareness of a prisoner. Instead, she jumped up and down, swinging back and forth on the tree using the elasticity of the spider silk, just like a lively monkey.
"Brother Spider, your father's silk seems even more elastic! Look, I can even fly around!" Lan Yue showed off to the spider next to her.
The little spider, not wanting to be outdone, also swung over, clinging to a strand of silk.
Once they had flown to another tree, clinging to the spider silk, Lan Yue set up a soundproof barrier and quietly spoke to the little spider.
"Brother Spider, look how many demonic beasts I've already given you, and my friend is still hunting for your father. Do you have any delicious spiritual fruits left? Could you send me a few?"
Lan Yue rubbed her hands together again.
She finally understood why this spider was able to find so many high-level spiritual fruits; it turned out it had a Nascent Soul stage father.
Maybe this little spider has even more treasures. She's done so much, she should take some with her, otherwise she'll feel like she's left empty-handed.
