Qingfeng and the others then entered the cave tunnel. Not long after they entered, he felt a rush of depressive energy.
This rush of energy was very light, and only Qingfeng could feel it because the Chaos Millstone was still in the depths of his mind, and his own spirit energy was very powerful; he was more sensitive to danger than anyone else.
Qingfeng waved his right hand and said lightly, “Let’s move slowly, and be careful of the danger inside the tunnel.”
Mengyao Xu said, “Brother Li, I haven’t felt any danger, there are only spiritual veins, and there isn’t anything else other than spiritual stones.”
Qingfeng lightly smiled as he explained quietly, “There are spiritual veins, but don’t forget about the many demonic beasts deep underneath the ground, like demonic snakes, spiders, and centipedes. They all love to hide inside the soil, and the spiritual veins underneath the tall mountain are where they live.”
Mengyao Xu nodded when she realized. She naturally knew how poisonous these underground demonic beasts were.
If they had found where the spiritual veins were, then they would have trained at great speed.
While Qingfeng and Mengyao spoke, a scream rang out from the hole before them, as if someone had been bitten.
The sound was extremely horrible, as all the self-cultivators grew scared, their faces paling.
Qingfeng and the others hurried over to look and saw a forty-some-year-old male self-cultivator on the ground of the tunnel. His face was pale, with white foam, and a black opening bitten onto his ankles.
This black opening had black poison all over, and within a few seconds, it spread all over his body as his whole body covered with black fog. His body trembled uncontrollably, as he screamed in horror, and lost all signs of life.
All the self-cultivators around were terrified as they stepped back to get away from the dead self-cultivator, afraid to approach him.
Qingfeng closely inspected the wound of this dead middle-aged self-cultivator, and noticed a clear spider bite wound, with spider poison.
Mengyao, Ya Yun and the others’ faces all changed. They were women and feared this kind of poisonous creature the most.
Plus, they’ve already heard from Qingfeng that there were many poisonous demonic beasts underground, and they should be careful. Who knew they would immediately meet one?
Qingfeng said with a lowered voice, “Everyone be careful. Black Puppy use your dog nose to smell around, notify us as soon as you noticed danger.”
Black Puppy nodded with a concerned look. It knew that the demonic beasts that lived beside the underground spiritual vein were incredibly powerful. They would live all year round and absorb the spirituality in spiritual stones. They had incredible powers and were very skilled in hiding, far more skilled and powerful than average above ground demonic beasts.
Ahhhhh….
Suddenly, several screams sounded from before Qingfeng and the others as they rushed forward. In the tunnel before Qingfeng, four or five self-cultivators kneeled on the ground, as they screamed in pain.
Some had bite marks on their necks, hands, and ankles, all from poisonous snakes, spiders, or centipedes.
Some Qingfeng couldn’t even recognize, but they all contained intense poison, some black, some green or blue. Shortly afterward, these self-cultivators all died from the poison, without anyone persisting.
The thousand or so self-cultivators now all grew very careful inside the tunnel. They were filled with excitement when they first entered the tunnel, in hopes to find the spiritual vein and spiritual stones.
However now, they’ve met danger before they found the spiritual vein, and some self-cultivators died, which made them realize that spiritual stones weren’t so easy to find.
There must be many more underground poisonous beasts, so they had to be extremely careful. It would be very unfortunate to die here, and it was not worth the risk.
Qingfeng and the others walked in the very back; because they knew that this tunnel was complicated. The spiritual vein here seemed to have contained a special kind of strange power, which Qingfeng couldn’t even pinpoint, but he was still determined to get the spiritual stone.
Suddenly Black Puppy said, “Oh no, there’s an underground poisonous beast charging towards us, and is now beneath our feet.”
Qingfeng’s face suddenly turned cold as he said, “Where?”
Black Puppy’s face changed as it raised its dog paws and pointed towards Qingfeng’s feet and said, “Right beneath you.”
Just after Black Puppy spoke, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the ground and charged towards Qingfeng’s ankles.
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with murderous intent, he was prepared. Did this poisonous demonic beast really think it could kill Qingfeng? More like it was begging for death.
Qingfeng reached out two fingers of his right hand and pinched downwards like lightning. Suddenly it caught the black shadow between his fingers and he noticed that it was a spider.
This spider was roughly palm-sized, with three eyes, black fur thorns all over, and black poison inside its mouth, it was clear that it was a poisonous demonic beast.
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with surprise as he said, “Three-eyed poisonous spider! This demonic beast hasn’t gone extinct yet.”
After Qingfeng came to the Crimson Fire Continent, he acquired some Crimson Fire Continent elixir and demonic beast knowledge, and naturally knew of this three-eyed poisonous spider.
Legends has it that these spiders have been extinct since three thousand years ago, because its poison posed a great threat to human self-cultivators, and so humans attacked it and drove them into extinction. Who knew he would see one in the Sun Mystic Realm.
However, Qingfeng shortly realized the Sun Mystic Realm was isolated from the real world for five thousand years. It was an ancient battlefield and where the Sun Emperor had lived, so it was understandable for there to be strange mythical demonic beasts left.
The three-eyed spider screamed at Qingfeng and released white spider webs in attempts to wrap around Qingfeng.
Qingfeng coldly laughed, opened his mouth and shot out a ray of Golden Energy. The golden light was incredibly fierce as it immediately shot through the spider web.
Then Qingfeng raised his right-hand finger into the void, and with a tremble, his Monarch Law entrapped the three-eyed poisonous spider’s body.
Qingfeng’s right-handed Dragon Bone then pressed underneath, to form a ray of Godly Dragon Prestige that pressed onto the three-eyed poisonous spider. With a forward press, it squashed the three-eyed poisonous spider’s body.
The three-eyed poisonous spider screamed out in terror, which made everyone cringe, as it looked at Qingfeng with hatred and unwillingness to die.
