The ghost-faced water-demon vines around them feared the white jade spider and couldn't get away from it fast enough. They didn't dare come near.
Lu Xiaotian and the others seized the chance to hurry toward the River-Suppressing Stele.
The scenery around the lake belonged to the Xiao family. Even within the family, Moshang Lake was usually forbidden ground. In the past, some had been unable to restrain their curiosity and ventured into the lake. They had either been killed by the monsters within, or, if they were unimportant members of the family, executed after returning. Even important family members couldn't escape severe punishment. Anyone who hadn't experienced it firsthand would scarcely imagine that such a seemingly peaceful lake concealed such fierce dangers.
The ghost-faced water-demon vines were every bit as troublesome as the demonic-algae Green Crocodiles. It was no exaggeration to say that even a great cultivator like Ziqing High Person would have faced almost certain death entering Moshang Lake, had she not been traveling with Lu Xiaotian, Xiang Yihang, and the others, prepared carefully in advance, and skilled at concealing her presence.
The closer they drew to the River-Suppressing Stele, the more ghost-faced water-demon vines surrounded them. Along the way, the white jade spider had already devoured many of them in great gulps. Just then, two unusually thick vines appeared, their ghostly heads at the tips solid as real flesh. They glared at Lu Xiaotian and his companions and let out a series of low growls.
"These two water-demon vines have probably reached the strength of the Tenth Tier. And yet they still fear this white jade spider. Could it really be from the White Jade King Spider line?" A trace of doubt crossed Lu Xiaotian's mind.
But these two powerful ghost-faced water-demon vines didn't flee like the others
