"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Seeing this, Li Jingshu didn't waste any more words and instead gently comforted Xiao Gui.

Although Xiao Gui is the offspring of the Spider Queen.

But after three years of getting along, she and Li Jingshu had long since formed a deep friendship.

Although he still occasionally reports intelligence to the Spider Queen.

But she didn't reveal any of the truly important information.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Boyang and Xiluo didn't care about Xiao Gui at all.

The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

The Spider Queen's decision to send Xiao Gui to monitor Flying Peak seemed more like a joke to Xiluo.

Rather than worrying about what kind of trouble the Spider Queen might cause.

With Xiao Gui helping to share Li Jingshu's excess energy, Xiluo felt that this was the real unexpected joy.

As for Li Boyang?

He was simply curious about how a spider with a human face like Xiao Gui came to be.

Despite being smaller than the palm of your hand, it possesses intelligence and language skills that are no less than those of ordinary people.

Although brain size is not equivalent to intelligence.

However, the fact that a brain the size of a nucleus can possess intelligence comparable to that of humans is clearly a topic of great research value.

At the very least, Li Boyang thought it would be very interesting if Sleepy Bug could evolve a similar brain.

Moreover, through Xiluo's description, Li Boyang knew that the Spider Queen seemed to have some special hybridization ability, which could break reproductive barriers to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, ever since Xiao Gui learned of Li Boyang's intentions, Xiao Gui has kept her distance from him.

If it weren't for Li Boyang's occasional temptations with various delicacies and knowledge about Yuan Qi...

Furthermore, due to the Spider Queen's insistence, Xiao Gui didn't even want to see that "demon" at all.

However, this only increased her value in the eyes of Li Boyang and the Spider Queen.

In a sense, this is also a major reason why Xiao Gui was not killed by the Spider Queen even though he had not found out any specific information.

It was through the knowledge she indirectly acquired from Xiao Gui that the Spider Queen truly understood the significance of the word "prophet".

"I'm telling you—don't ignore me anymore!"

Seeing that Xiao Gui and Li Jingshu's conversation was getting more and more outrageous, he had no choice but to lower his voice and warn them.

I don't care what happened to you -

"But the fact that your mother was an accomplice of that fox is undeniable."

His gaze was fixed intently on Xiao Gui, his tone filled with certainty.

"It's a pity I used my last Soul-Chasing Incantation on you, otherwise this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."

Upon hearing these words, which sounded almost like a sign of surrender, Li Jingshu was about to say something when she suddenly stopped.

At that very moment, he also noticed the abnormality of the surrounding environment.

Where did this thick fog come from?

Looking around, he realized that his panicked wandering had led him into a white fog.

The fog wasn't actually that thick, but it was filled with an eerie silence.

The chirping of insects and birds had all ceased, leaving only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. "What's that?"

Just as they were cautiously trying to leave the fog, they unexpectedly came across an unusually orderly bamboo forest.

The spacing between each bamboo stalk was exactly the same, and their heights were almost identical. At a glance, Yue was certain that the bamboo grove was definitely not naturally grown.

Even more bizarrely, when one opened their eyes wide to try and see the truth about the bamboo forest, they noticed strange patterns engraved on the bamboo stalks.

"Witchcraft Incantation?"

Yue, who had been by the high shaman's side for many years, was almost certain that it was some kind of Witchcraft Incantation.

The key point is that those Witchcraft Incantation were not inscribed on later, but rather grew naturally on these bamboos during their growth process.

The Talisman Incantation on each section of bamboo are identical, yet they differ in the details.

Do you know where this is?

Instinctively, I looked down at Li Jingshu.

I saw not a trace of panic in the other person's eyes, only a strange sense of annoyance.

You've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time!

"This is a bamboo grove that I've painstakingly cared for for over half a year; even I'm rarely allowed to get close to it."

"Get out of there quickly, before you disturb them."

Upon hearing this, the sense of horror in my heart intensified.

I think I might have disturbed something.

As if to confirm Yue's words, the sound of cicadas chirping and flapping their wings suddenly came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, Sleepy Bug of various colors and slightly different appearances flew up from the bamboo forest.

Compared to the Crimson Sleepy Bug, which was assimilated by the Sha Qi and evolved into a powerful and aggressive creature.

These Sleepy Bug aren't necessarily all good at fighting.

But in terms of how troublesome it is, it is definitely not comparable to a simple Sleepy Bug.

As these Sleepy Bug leisurely flew out of the bamboo forest, they immediately took off running backwards.

After all, he had already given a headache with just a dozen or so Sleepy Bug, so he wasn't confident he could handle a swarm of hundreds or thousands of Sleepy Bug.

No, I wasn't talking about them—

Seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, Li Jingshu simply gave up and stopped lowering her voice.

"Yaya! Help me!"

Li Jingshu's sudden outburst was too abrupt.

Yue had no idea that the other party would shout at this crucial moment.

By the time they realized what was happening, a sound of earth churning suddenly came from the very center of the bamboo forest.

Buzzing...

In a short while, a blue wild boar with four tusks emerged from the soil.

That was the [Dangkang's Tooth]—the Fang Boar— that helped Li Household Village plow and cultivate the land in early spring.

!!!

Gone was its usual docile state; the startled Fang Boar's eyes turned bloodshot, its size increased dramatically, and it immediately entered a berserk state.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Without time to think too much, he first threw Li Jingshu and Xiao Gui out, and then took the large axe off his back.

Clang!

The moment the great axe was swung, the Fang Boar also rushed over.

Since both sides were incredibly powerful, the ground beneath their feet shattered the moment they collided.

A loud rumble accompanied by billowing dust.

In the end, she prevailed, chopping the Fang Boar down with a single axe blow.

However, just as Pu An breathed a sigh of relief...

But then they saw the Fang Boar, half of its head shattered, rolling around and using the surrounding soil to rebuild its body.

Most importantly, the bamboo forest not far away also experienced a similar tremor at that moment.

The bamboo sections that had been broken and overturned by the Fang Boar along the way soon began to mimic the Fang Boar by absorbing the surrounding soil and attempting to form solid bodies.

This, in turn, caused more bamboo to break and come into contact with the ground, creating more moving entities.
