Ambushing and Killing

To the northwest of South Capital lies an endless expanse of mountains, teeming with Demon Beasts.

However, these mountains also harbor unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"That way." Wu Xiaokai and Ye Qiu left the city and entered the mountains. Wu Xiaokai oriented himself and then dashed off at extreme speed.

Ye Qiu immediately followed. He noticed Wu Xiaokai's movement technique was quite unique; despite his tall frame, he moved with incredible agility.

As he kept pace, Ye Qiu mentally asked, "Brother Snake, do you have any good movement techniques?"

Great Serpent replied, "Yes!"

Ye Qiu exclaimed, "Brother Snake, you're the best!"

It rarely refused Ye Qiu, always obliging as long as its requests were reasonable.

Great Serpent said, "The main thing is you're too weak right now, and I'm in a hurry."

Time was running out!

Before Ye Qiu could ask more, a piece of information appeared in his mind, followed by an imprinted image.

This visual representation was even more intuitive, and combined with the profound meaning, it would allow for faster comprehension.

Dragon Soaring Body!

A Heaven Tier technique!

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up. Heaven Tier techniques were already the pinnacle below Spiritual Power, making them incredibly valuable.

Especially for movement techniques, which were even more precious than standard techniques!

Great Serpent stated, "This is just the beginning. Once your Cultivation breaks through to the Law Gathering stage, I'll teach you Spiritual Power, truly formidable Spiritual Power!"

Ye Qiu was overjoyed.

He then accelerated to catch up with Wu Xiaokai and began to emulate the movement technique from the imprinted image.

Brother Snake had said that in cultivation, one must have their own ideas, meaning, develop their own style.

On a grander scale, that would be their own Dao!

But in the early stages, the fastest way to get started was imitation.

Imitate to enter, then innovate!

Swish, swish, swish--

Ye Qiu's comprehension was already quite good, and with the aid of Great Serpent's profound meaning and the visual aid, he mimicked the technique with extreme speed.

His speed increased dramatically, and his winding movements soon surpassed Wu Xiaokai.

This utterly shocked Wu Xiaokai. For a long stretch, Ye Qiu had been behind him.

He had even deliberately restrained his speed to avoid pulling too far ahead of Ye Qiu.

How had he suddenly improved so much?

He immediately accelerated, but as he sped up, Ye Qiu's speed increased even further.

Wu Xiaokai's eyes widened. "Brother Ye, what movement technique is that?"

Ye Qiu replied, "A Heaven Tier technique!"

Wu Xiaokai said, "Mine is also a Heaven Tier technique, but mine isn't as profound as yours!"

Ye Qiu chuckled. Of course, this was given to me by Brother Snake, and Brother Snake clearly has an extraordinary background!

He was once bullied by a group of Mother Dragons!

Whether that's true or not, judging by the magnanimity Brother Snake has displayed, he's definitely no ordinary fellow.

He likely comes from that vast Upper Realm!

The two moved swiftly, traversing mountains and crossing ridges, finally entering a valley. Beyond the valley lay a canyon.

Outside the canyon entrance.

Ye Qiu peered into the depths. It was dark and profound, giving him a subtle sense of danger.

Wu Xiaokai's expression also turned serious. "Brother Ye, that Great Spider is inside."

Ye Qiu asked, "Peak Tongxuan?"

Wu Xiaokai nodded.

Ye Qiu declared, "Alright, with our combined strength, we have a great chance!"

Wu Xiaokai nodded again, then took out a white bone club as thick as a thigh.

The club was thick at one end and thin at the other, with the thin end held in Wu Xiaokai's hand.

It resembled a mallet!

It was impossible to tell what kind of bone it was made from, but it was smooth and gleaming, clearly no ordinary item.

Ye Qiu also drew his broad saber. However, with his increased strength, the saber felt even lighter.

I must find a good saber, or perhaps forge one, when I get back.

The two walked into the canyon together. Inside, the light was dim.

They traveled over three thousand meters forward.

Wu Xiaokai's expression turned solemn. Ye Qiu also sensed an incredibly powerful Demon Beast aura.

The two slowed their pace and walked a few hundred meters further before they saw...

A massive spider web blocked the path ahead, almost completely sealing the canyon entrance.

Several Demon Beasts were trapped on the spider web. A huge black bull, a colossal green wolf, and a beast that looked like a lion and a tiger.

These three were the most conspicuous.

Besides them, there were several others of varying sizes.

Some of them were already dead, while others were still struggling on the spider web, but they were completely unable to break free.

Behind the spider web stood a small tree, about a meter tall, bearing bright red fruits.

They weren't large, resembling dates.

But at this moment, they glowed like jade.

It was clear they were extraordinary!

"The Great Spider isn't here!" Wu Xiaokai looked over there, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

He had discovered this place yesterday. At that time, the Great Spider was hanging on the spider web.

He had fought for a long time but couldn't win and was even injured.

If he hadn't grown up in the mountains and known how to deal with Demon Beasts, he might have died yesterday.

"Brother Ye, you're such a lucky star! The Great Spider isn't home because you came with me!"

Wu Xiaokai was overjoyed. Not having to fight was the best outcome, after all, that Great Spider was very difficult to defeat, and it could also spit silk, which was extremely troublesome.

Ye Qiu said, "Be careful. Demon Beasts are very perceptive. It might just be hiding nearby."

Spiders, as Demon Beasts, were masters of lying in wait.

Wu Xiaokai sensed the surroundings. "Don't worry. I grew up in the mountains, and I'm extremely sensitive to Demon Beast auras. I can confirm the Great Spider isn't here... Let's go pick those fruits. They are Demon Blood Fruits, which have immense miraculous effects for us Body Cultivators!"
