Chapter 96 Hidden Dragon Treasure Bone (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter 1)
These Ghost Skulls that could ignore material collisions were excellent as eyes, often discovering the traces of Ghost Eye Spiders even from a distance.
Providing great convenience for the two people's hunting mission.
Fortunately, this Ghost Eye Cave was perpetually dark, and the Spiritual Qi of the Yin-Cold Attribute was rich, making it as comfortable for them as being at home.
Groups of spiders were difficult to kill, so the two mostly targeted solitary ones, or those gathered in twos or threes.
In just half an hour, they had collected twenty Ghost Eyes and five complete Spider Carcasses.
"The number is enough. Next, we need to find First Order Peak Stage Ghost Eye Spiders."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Brother Situ."
"Don't mention it."
Except for the invisible Ghost Eye Spider they encountered when they first entered, the ones they encountered afterwards were much more normal, with only one or two possessing this special ability.
This situation also quietly relieved them. As long as not every Ghost Eye Spider possessed it, dealing with them was still relatively easy.
Inside the Cave, the direction of progress was gradually downwards, and there were also many interconnected passages. Occasionally, these passages would connect with other Ghost Eye Caves.
At that time, the spiders belonging to two different groups would fight.
This was when disciples needed to intervene, at the very least blocking the connected areas and then applying Talismans or Restrictions to seal them, which was quite troublesome.
"It's almost noon now. We must get out of the Cave before late afternoon/early evening. This Illumination Pearl, in addition to lighting, can also indicate the direction back outside."
During their journey, Situ Hong suddenly spoke, saying something seemingly out of nowhere, but Wang Yu naturally understood his meaning.
The abnormality of Ghost Eye Cave No. 5 indicated that there might be some unknown treasure here. It would be difficult for two people to split it, and coincidentally, the required amount for the mission had been completed.
Next, they would act separately, perhaps finding the source of these spiders' mutations.
Wang Yu went along with it.
"In that case, Senior Brother, why don't we act separately, and there's no need to argue about the distribution of Ghost Eyes, how about it?"
"Agreed."
Situ Hong nodded, shaking the Hundred Ghost Banner in his hand. The Ghost Skulls active outside returned one after another. Following his guidance, they headed towards the left passage.
In his opinion, he possessed such superior detection methods, making him more likely than Wang Yu to find the source of the Ghost Eye Spiders' mutations. Ordinary hunting spiders were nothing much, but encountering a Fortuitous Encounter, enjoying it alone was the right way.
Seeing him walk away, Wang Yu shook his head and entered the right passage. With a flick of his finger, several strands of Spirit Energy condensed into an ice crystal, embedding it in the wall. After leaving a wisp of Divine Sense inside, he quickly moved forward.
Soon after, confirming he was far away.
He also put the Illumination Pearl into his Storage Pouch. His vision was plunged into darkness, with only the two crescent moons in his eyes emitting a faint glow.
Similarly, while Situ Hong wanted to enjoy it alone, so did Wang Yu.
The Night Concealment Spell activated naturally, as if transforming into a shadow, rapidly traversing the Cave passage. He ignored the Ghost Eye Spiders encountered along the way.
He only noted the locations of the First Order Peak Stage Ghost Eye Spiders, planning to deal with them later. He wanted to first understand the internal terrain. With the Monster Beast Cultivation here, even a Second Stage Spider Queen would find it difficult to see through the Night Concealment Spell.
In the dark environment, he was also like a fish in water.
It took nearly three hours to figure out the terrain inside the Cave. Unfortunately, he did not find the Spider Queen's Lair, which meant it was on Situ Hong's side. If possible, he actually wanted to try taking Second Stage Ghost Eyes.
What a pity.
However, he did make some discoveries regarding the secret of the invisible spiders.
This was a vertical passage, with faint white light seeping down from above, probably leading to the summit of Spider Mountain.
The passage was said to be vertical, but it actually had some curvature, and it was filled with Spider Webs everywhere. Giant spiders, each half a person tall, were clinging to them.
There were at least a dozen of them, with varying strengths, but they all shared a significant characteristic: they could turn invisible!
Sticking to the Cave wall, Wang Yu carefully passed through the dense Spider Webs, peering down into the vertical passage. After briefly pondering, he decisively took action.
He formed a Spirit Seal with his hands and struck the ground.
As surging Spirit Energy rushed out, a thick layer of ice divided the passage into upper and lower sections. The dozen or so spiders were separated. Wang Yu seized the opportunity to jump out of the shadows.
He looked up—Flame Technique!
Whoosh—
Pale white, tinged with gray, Cold Flame with blue Outer Flame spewed out from his lips, like blowing air, yet bringing terrifying extreme cold and extreme heat!
The spiders were caught off guard, falling one after another, their legs flailing wildly. Only a few First Order Peak Stage Ghost Spiders spat out Shadow Spikes.
This was a Monster Beast Bloodline Ability, something they were born with.
Those solid Shadow Spikes pierced through the Cold Flame layer, and by the time they approached him, they had already been greatly weakened.
Wang Yu used the Black Scale Shield, and with a few thuds, blocked them all. His right hand formed a Sword Finger, and the Perfected Level Ice Sword Technique, from ten, transformed into two, two Ice Swords with greatly enhanced quality.
This was different from Giant Transformation. The overlapping technique aimed for qualitative change through compression!
It was also his secondary development and utilization of Perfected Level Mystical Arts, allowing them to play different roles in different environments.
The Ice Swords with greatly enhanced quality, under Wang Yu's Divine Sense + gaze lock, with a few whooshing sounds, turned into charred Corpse Chunks, falling all around.
Without time to deal with them, he stuffed them all into an Empty Storage Pouch, then Wang Yu looked at his feet. Below the thick ice layer that sealed the passage, many Ghost Spiders had already gathered.
Spirit Energy surged.
The ice layer under his feet automatically melted open a thin hole, the size of a finger. Wang Yu used the same trick again, unleashing the Flame Technique forcefully at the hole.
The slender flame passed through the three-meter-long small passage and then exploded, and the screams of "squeak squeak" grew louder and louder. He could see the situation below his feet.
After waiting for three breaths, the ice layer completely dissipated. Two sharp Ice Swords, having undergone five times of overlapping qualitative change, attacked again. Wang Yu slashed as he fell.
A few breaths later, he landed smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Corpse Chunks fell, completely surrounding him. The Spider Corpse Chunks were a bit disgusting. Wang Yu collected them all before he had time to assess the situation here.
The style below was completely different from the Ghost Eye Cave, more like a place where some large creature lived. Fragments of molted gray scales remained on the walls.
A pile of weathered unknown Bones was also piled up in the corner. This was clearly not the spiders' feeding method. Although there were many Spider Webs now, their color was very new, obviously indicating that the Ghost Spiders had not invaded this place for long.
After some observation and searching, Wang Yu found a seven or eight-meter-long skeleton on a Dry Grass nest. It was densely wrapped in Spider Webs, and some palm-sized small spiders were crawling on it.
Wang Yu casually killed them with a few sword strikes.
Following the tail to the head position, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Using his Ice Sword to pull away the Spider Webs, right at the head position, there was a Bone Shard inscribed with Mysterious Symbols, emitting some unusual Fluctuations.
"This is a Treasure Bone…
"A Hidden Dragon Treasure Bone???"
Treasure Bones, products of Monster Beasts whose Bloodline has reached a certain level after their death.
