"If I had two beauties with me every time I came out to hunt demon beasts in the future, wouldn't I die of bliss?"
At the entrance of a damp, gloomy cave piled high with rotting dead leaves, Wei Suo's gaze kept drifting over Ye Guowei's and Nangong Yuqing's slender waists, their bottoms, and other such places.
When he had met Nangong Yuqing in front of the Tianyi Sect's Teleportation Array south of the city, Wei Suo's eyes had immediately gone a little blank. Lin Daoyi had only mentioned someone named Tie Ce before, but Wei Suo had never expected the person who came to be a woman—and such a fiery beauty at that.
Nangong Yuqing's face was slightly round, and her glossy black hair was braided into a single plait. She looked exceptionally sweet. Most fatal of all, she was very tall, almost as tall as Wei Suo, with a pair of firm, long, beautiful legs. She also wore a tight-fitting set of red leather armor.
Once Nangong Yuqing put on that tight leather armor, she was simply full where she should be full and slender where she should be slender. The moment one's eyes landed on certain parts of her, they could no longer move away, and one could not help wanting to spray nosebleeds wildly. Wei Suo had been poor for so long that the first thing he normally looked at was how many Spirit Stones the items on a person were worth. Yet it took him quite a while before he realized that Nangong Yuqing's armor was made from the hide of a third-grade demon beast, the Crimson Fire Fox. After refinement, Crimson Fire Fox hide became extremely soft and elastic. It was originally the finest material for making close-fitting inner armor and was highly sought after by female cultivators on the Tianxuan Continent. Furthermore, Crimson Fire Fox hide could withstand the spell attacks of ordinary Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm cultivators. However, only a portion of a Crimson Fire Fox's back hide could be used for armor. A complete set of tight leather armor like Nangong Yuqing's would require the hides of at least twenty Crimson Fire Foxes, so it was certainly worth more than a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones. Anyone who could wear such armor was probably at least a Fourth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm cultivator.
"No, she might even be at the Fifth Level of Sea of Consciousness Realm."
Wei Suo glanced once more at Nangong Yuqing's taut, enticing chest, then saw the exceptionally certain look on her face and silently added that thought to himself.
Just as he had expected from the start, the place where Ye Xiaozheng and Ye Guowei had discovered the Ice Silk Spiders was not far from Lingyue City. The mountain range they were in was called Tangled Vine Mountain, only seven hundred li south of Lingyue City. Not only did Tangled Vine Mountain contain many towering trees, but it was also overgrown with strange vines that clung to those trees, making the entire forest extremely dark. In addition, Tangled Vine Mountain was rich in moisture, leaving the forest floor muddy everywhere, while ordinary venomous snakes and insects abounded.
The gloomy cave before them lay within a dense forest in the back mountains of Tangled Vine Mountain. Vines grew everywhere in this forest as well, covered with long grayish-brown pods.
"Let's go. Ice Silk Spiders are different from other demon beasts. They only come out on their own when they are hunting. Otherwise, even if they hear some disturbance, they won't emerge. We can only kill these three Ice Silk Spiders if we go inside."
After carefully observing the cave entrance for a while, Lin Daoyi nodded like the leader of the group and entered the cave together with Nangong Yuqing.
Wei Suo had no objection at all to Lin Daoyi acting as the leader at a time like this. After all, in such situations, the people at the very front and very back usually faced the greatest danger. So the moment Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing moved, Wei Suo immediately followed them in.
"This big fellow really is honest and kind." As Wei Suo followed closely behind Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing, he saw the burly Ye Xiaozheng deliberately fall a little behind and walk after Ye Guowei.
After entering the cave, Lin Daoyi lit a white wax stick. Wei Suo recognized it as a candle refined from the oil of the first-grade demon beast White Thread Fish. Once lit, not even fierce winds could extinguish it, and it burned for an extremely long time. One such stick could burn for several hours. Although the Night-Luminescent Pearl he had just bought would also be useful in a place like this, Wei Suo felt it was better not to attract the attention of demon beasts like Ice Silk Spiders if possible. Keeping a low profile was best.
The cave was narrow and long, only wide enough for two people to walk abreast. Once inside, though, the ceiling rose three or four zhang high. Under the milky-white firelight in Lin Daoyi's hand, the four walls looked sticky and slimy, glimmering with a dark green sheen and giving off the stench of decay.
That alone would not have been too bad, but the crucial thing was that water dripped down from the rocks overhead from time to time. This vile environment made Wei Suo keep shrinking his neck.
They walked deeper for the time it took two incense sticks to burn. Just as Wei Suo was beginning to feel unsettled in the silence, Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing, who were walking at the front, suddenly tensed all over and stopped sharply.
Lin Daoyi and Nangong Yuqing had stopped abruptly, but Wei Suo and Ye Guowei, following right behind Nangong Yuqing, could not halt in time. In a moment of carelessness, Wei Suo's entire body pressed against Nangong Yuqing's. Nangong Yuqing's waist... her legs... and she was wearing soft, smooth, tight-fitting leather armor. When he pressed against her, he could even feel the warmth radiating from her skin. The sensation was practically no different from pressing tightly against an alluring naked body. But that was not all. Most crucially, Ye Guowei behind Wei Suo also collided with him, and Wei Suo instantly felt two unusually soft, full curves press against his back.
In front of him were mesmerizing curves and astonishing elasticity; behind him was the pressure of soft, full peaks. Nangong Yuqing's are so bouncy... Ye Guowei's don't seem small either, but Shui Ling'er's should be even bigger. Wei Suo felt absurdly blessed. As Wei Suo pressed against Nangong Yuqing, she gave a low cry and instinctively reached back to give him a light push. Yet that light push made Nangong Yuqing's entire body stiffen, because her hand had landed directly on something Wei Suo possessed that she did not. Her mind boomed, and she did not know whether to let go or not.
"What happened?" Ye Xiaozheng's voice sounded from the rear. Nangong Yuqing only heard Wei Suo say in an incomparably calm voice beside her ear, "Aren't you going to let go?" Her face instantly burned hot, and as if she had grabbed a scalding hot potato, she hastily withdrew her hand.
"Everyone be careful. The Ice Silk Spiders should be nearby." Lin Daoyi took a step forward and moved aside.
"Damn!" Wei Suo peered through the gap Lin Daoyi had made, using the firelight to look ahead. He immediately sucked in a cold breath, and more than half of the enchanting feeling from before vanished at once. The cave ahead had widened enormously, like a small valley. On the wet ground strewn with jagged rocks lay countless sack-like piles—densely packed corpses of all kinds of animals and humans. Every one of them had been sucked dry into a mummified corpse, yet none had decayed. The sight was terrifying.
