The Front Arched and the Back Straightened

"Wouldn't it be awesome if every time I went out to fight demonic beasts, I had two beauties accompanying me?"

At the entrance of a damp, gloomy cave filled with rotten leaves, Wei Suo's gaze kept darting towards the waists and buttocks of Ye Guowei and Nangong Yuqing in front of him.

The moment he met Nangong Yuqing at the Teleportation Array of Tianyi Sect south of the city, Wei Suo's eyes went a little unfocused. Lin Daoyi had only mentioned that it was someone from Tie Ce, but Wei Suo hadn't expected it to be a woman, and a very hot beauty at that.

Nangong Yuqing had a slightly round face, with long, glossy black hair tied into a braid. She was incredibly sweet-looking, and most importantly, she was very tall, almost as tall as Wei Suo, with a pair of firm, slender, beautiful legs. To top it off, she was wearing a form-fitting red leather armor.

Wearing this tight leather armor, Nangong Yuqing was perfectly endowed where she should be, and perfectly slender where she should be. It was the kind of outfit that made it impossible to look away from certain parts, making one's nose bleed. Consequently, Wei Suo, who was accustomed to poverty, would normally assess a person by the value of the Spirit Stones they carried. However, after a long while, Wei Suo finally noticed that Nangong Yuqing was wearing armor crafted from the hide of a third-tier demonic beast, the Crimson Fire Fox. After processing, Crimson Fire Fox hide becomes very soft and elastic, making it the best material for close-fitting under-armor. It was highly sought after by female cultivators on the Tianxuan Continent. Moreover, Crimson Fire Fox hide could withstand the attacks of cultivators at the Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm. However, only a portion of the back of a Crimson Fire Fox could be used for armor. A complete set of form-fitting leather armor like Nangong Yuqing's would require at least twenty Crimson Fire Foxes to assemble, making its value well over a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones. Someone wearing such armor was likely at least a cultivator at the Fourth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm.

"No, maybe even Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm."

Wei Suo glanced again at the tempting outline of Nangong Yuqing's taut chest. Seeing Nangong Yuqing's exceptionally confident expression, he added this thought to himself.

Just as he had initially anticipated, the place where Ye Xiaozheng and Ye Guowei found the Ice Silk Spider was not far from Lingyue City. The mountain range they were currently in was called Tangled Vine Mountain, located only about seven hundred li south of Lingyue City. Tangled Vine Mountain was not only covered in tall trees but also in many strangely shaped vines that clung to the trees. As a result, the entire forest was dimly lit. Coupled with the abundant moisture in Tangled Vine Mountain, the ground was very muddy, and ordinary venomous snakes and insects were also very numerous.

The gloomy cave before them was located in a dense forest in the back of Tangled Vine Mountain. This dense forest was also covered in vines, each bearing long, grayish-brown pods.

"Let's go. Ice Silk Spiders are different from other demonic beasts; they only come out actively when they are hunting. Otherwise, they won't appear even if they hear any movement. We can only kill these three Ice Silk Spiders by going inside."

After carefully observing at the cave entrance for a while, Lin Daoyi, like a leader, nodded and walked into the cave with Nangong Yuqing.

At this moment, Lin Daoyi wanted to be the leader, and he had no objections. This was because the people at the very front and the very back were usually at the greatest risk. Therefore, as soon as Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing moved, Wei Suo immediately followed.

"This big guy is indeed honest and kind." Wei Suo, closely following behind Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing, noticed that the burly Ye Xiaozheng had deliberately fallen back a bit, following behind Ye Guowei.

After entering the cave, Lin Daoyi lit a white candle. Wei Suo recognized that this candle was made from the oil of a first-tier demonic beast, the White Thread Fish. Once lit, it was not only impossible to extinguish with strong winds but also burned for an extremely long time; one such candle could last for several hours. Although the newly bought night-shining pearl would also be useful in a place like this, Wei Suo felt it was better to keep a low profile and avoid attracting the attention of demonic beasts like the Ice Silk Spider as much as possible.

The cave was quite narrow and long, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The height of the ceiling was about three to four zhang. Illuminated by the milky white firelight from Lin Daoyi's hand, the walls appeared sticky and shone with a dark green luster, emitting a rotten odor.

This alone was not the worst part. Most crucially, water dripped down from the rocks overhead from time to time. This harsh environment made Wei Suo involuntarily shrink his neck.

They walked inside for about the time it takes two incense sticks to burn. Just as Wei Suo was starting to feel uneasy in the silent environment, Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing, who were walking at the front, suddenly stiffened and stopped abruptly.

Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing stopped dead in their tracks, but Wei Suo and Ye Guowei, who were right behind Nangong Yuqing, couldn't stop in time. Unwittingly, Wei Suo ended up pressed against Nangong Yuqing. Nangong Yuqing's waist... her legs... and Nangong Yuqing was wearing soft, smooth, form-fitting armor. Being pressed against her like this, he could even feel the warmth emanating from Nangong Yuqing's skin. This feeling was no different from being pressed against a naked, alluring body. But that wasn't all. Most importantly, Ye Guowei behind Wei Suo also bumped into him. Wei Suo suddenly felt two exceptionally soft, firm mounds pressing against his back.

In front were incredibly alluring curves and astonishing elasticity, and behind him were soft, firm pressures. "Nangong Yuqing's is so bouncy... Ye Guowei's doesn't seem small either, but Shui Ling'er's should be even bigger." Wei Suo felt he was too fortunate. As Wei Suo pressed down on Nangong Yuqing, Nangong Yuqing let out a soft gasp, and her hand involuntarily pushed back slightly. But this slight push caused Nangong Yuqing herself to freeze, because her hand had just happened to push against something on Wei Suo that she shouldn't have. Her mind went blank; she didn't know whether to move her hand or not.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaozheng's voice came from the back. Nangong Yuqing only heard Wei Suo say calmly in her ear, "Aren't you going to let go?" At this, her face immediately turned burning hot. As if she had grabbed a hot potato, she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Everyone be careful, the Ice Silk Spider should be nearby." Lin Daoyi took a step forward and moved aside.

"Holy crap!" Wei Suo looked forward through the gap Lin Daoyi had made, illuminated by the firelight, and gasped. The beautiful feeling from moments ago instantly dissipated by more than half. The cave ahead had widened considerably, resembling a small valley. On the wet, rocky ground, countless sacks were piled up, filled with dense masses of various animal and human corpses. Moreover, these corpses were all desiccated and did not rot, looking extremely terrifying.
