Fleeing Double Saw Mountain

As soon as Lin Yu uttered the words "Run at full speed," it was like the sound of a starting gun; he, Li Nian, and Fei Dao all took off running, each one faster than the last.

The reason why Li Nian and Fei Dao cooperated so well, besides their complete trust in Lin Yu, was also because...

The surrounding environment also changed at the same time.

The Spider Silk that had been swaying down suddenly began to tremble violently, dancing wildly in the air like living snakes.

Then, the Spider Silk suddenly extended, grew, and rushed towards the direction in which Lin Yu and the other two had fled.

The three rushed out of the Daoist temple, only to be met with an even more hellish scene.

The earth cracked, rocks rolled, and from every crevice, new or old, white spider Spider Silk emerged.

Even worse, as the crack widened, numerous black spiders the size of cartwheels emerged from the distant mountain ridge!

With their thick Shell and bright red patterns, these spiders look just like tanks!

"This is unbelievable!" Fei Dao screamed. "Aren't these spiders supposed to come from underground?! How can they move around so freely in this heat and sunshine outside?!"

"You think this is Minecraft? Spiders spontaneously combust in sunlight," Li Nian said bluntly. "They're in the Fire Hell, so they must have heat resistance."

"Even underground, these spiders live next to lava."

Lin Yu added.

"What do we do then?" Fei Dao was almost in tears. "There are spiders and Spider Silk everywhere. Where can we run?"

Lin Yu pointed ahead to the area with the most spiders. "Of course, we should run forward—that's the closest exit to Double Saw Mountain."

"Obviously, the spider knows this too," Fei Dao said pessimistically. "What can we do?"

Lin Yu whistled, Three Suns's massive body rushed out from the side, ripping off several Spider Silk hanging on his body and grabbing a throwing Fei Dao.

"Then you have no choice but to trust Three Suns and Li Nian!"

As Lin Yu spoke, Lin Yu Li Nian looked at him.

"And what about you? What are you going to do?"

Lin Yu's current route has deviated from the two of them.

"Of course it's 'stealing the dart'—you two run first, I'll follow shortly!"

He grabbed Torch, lit it, and swung it around to repel several Spider Silk. Then, taking three steps at a time, he arrived at the front of the carriage.

Although everyone has disappeared... the car is still here!

Lin Yu kicked open the already broken and rickety carriage door.

The mangled body, still Iron chain to the vehicle, hung there, its gray skin radiating a vibrant bloodlust.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu drew his twin swords from inside the carriage and severed the chains in quick succession. Then, he picked up one of the chains and carried the mangled body of the Blade Demon Xie Chong on his back.

Although I don't know exactly what this thing is used for, it must be very useful!

After rushing out carrying the mangled body of Blade Demon Xie Chong, the surrounding Spider Silk seemed to become even more frenzied, surging even more wildly towards Lin Yu.

However, Lin Yu no longer held back and took out [The Shady Corner] directly—originally, under the blazing sunlight, the entire Double Saw Mountain didn't actually have much shadow.

And now...

Spider Silk of spiderwebs, like an apocalyptic disaster, descended, creating an oppressive atmosphere and generating numerous...

Shadow!

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yu's figure vanished, disappearing into the shadows.

Then, his figure appeared briefly before disappearing into a new patch of shadow!

After several attempts, Lin Yu quickly caught up with Li Nian and Fei Dao —the two were already deeply entangled in the spiders' attack and were slowly moving forward.

However, the two did not find themselves in a situation of struggling to keep up or enduring hardship.

Although the spiders seemed aggressive, constantly lunging at Li Nian and the Fei Dao, they were all blocked by an invisible barrier.

The source of that invisible barrier was a small Mermaid statue in Li Nian's hand.

The Mermaid statue resembled a music box, its mouth opening and closing as it sang elegant and soothing melodies.

As the songs spread outward, they formed a barrier and protection, preventing unauthorized things from entering.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu, carrying the mangled body, immediately appeared.

"A Nian!"

Lin Yu greeted them and then stepped inside the barrier.

Seeing Lin Yu return so quickly, Li Nian laughed, "That was fast! I thought you'd be gone for a while!"

"In that case, we can speed things up."

As Li Nian spoke, she quickened her pace while clutching the Mermaid statue.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to see Li Nian manipulating the barrier to repeatedly knock the spiders away as she accelerated again.

"I thought this thing would limit movement speed, so you were just waiting for me?"

"We are Comrade-in-Arms and partners after all," Li Nian said with a smile. "Besides... the employer is of no use in this kind of situation. Two people carrying one is always better than one carrying one."

"So, Sister Zhu Ming, what use is this remains to these spiders?"

Lin Yu looked at the spiders and their Spider Silk, which seemed to be attacking the barrier even more frantically, and shook his head. "We don't know yet. It just seems to be making these Yaomo even more frenzied."

"How long can this thing last?"

Lin Yu asked, Li Nian seemed uncertain. "I don't know, maybe an hour or two? Or maybe ten minutes?"

Hearing Li Nian's uncertain answer, Fei Dao, who had breathed a sigh of relief inside the barrier, became anxious again.

"Why are you so unsure about your own [Item]? The discrepancy is too big!"

He looked at the frantic spiders and Spider Silk outside and became worried again.

Li Nian laughed, "Oh dear, employer... you really don't understand me at all!"

"This [Item] is indeed mine now, but it belonged to someone else two days ago."

As Li Nian spoke, she then looked at Lin Yu: "Oh, by the way, Sister Zhu Ming... recently several new experts have arrived in Jiang City. One of them is from 'Order,' and the other is a well-known 'Tier 3' expert and Bounty Hunter from the 'Hunter Society'..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu could no longer hold back.

"You didn't steal 'The Demon Hunter Kres,' did you?"

Li Nian was even more astonished. "Wow, you could even guess that! Sister Zhu Ming, you're amazing!"

How did you know he was coming to Jiang City?

"Naturally, someone told me," Lin Yu didn't elaborate, "And this thing looks like it's from the 'Pure Ruins,' and it's of fairly high quality..."

"And as far as I know, Kres is also a master of the Pure Ruins ability system."

Li Nian nodded slightly as she listened to Lin Yu's words, then seemed to realize something and smiled mischievously.

"Hehe... Did someone tell you? Then I think I know who it was!"
