"Not good!"
Wang Chong instantly had an extremely ill foreboding. At his level of cultivation, not even a sneak attack from an Imperial Great General would make him feel so much danger. One could easily imagine how dangerous these threads were.
Thump!
Wang Chong had gone quickly and returned even faster. Before the threads could fly away, Wang Chong had shot back even faster than he had come.
"Careful!"
A weak voice resounded in his ear, and at this moment, there was the sound of ripping cloth.
On Wang Chong's chest, a thin thread had brushed past Wang Chong's left shoulder. A moment later, his clothes were torn apart, and Wang Chong felt an intense pain in his left shoulder. Beneath his torn robe, a thin red mark could be seen.
However, immediately afterwards, a stream of dark red blood immediately spurted out. Soon, the dark red blood suddenly turned green, looking indescribably strange.
"It's poisonous!"
Wang Chong's heart thumped as he realized what was happening. At his current level of strength, even a deadly poison would be blocked by Stellar Energy, and its effects would be slow.
This thread had only just cut open his arm, yet the blood had already turned a disgusting green. It was clearly no ordinary poison.
I'm already starting to feel numb. Just what sort of poison is this? Even Stellar Energy can't block it! "
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Every step in the Origin Immortal Treasury was extremely dangerous and dangerous. From the Stellar-Piercing Beetles to the Dragonbeasts and Nightmare Beasts to this unknown poison mist, every place was dangerous enough to kill a person.
And judging from the sharpness of these threads, if he hadn't reacted quickly and used his Psychic Energy to notice them first, he would have been cut in two.
In the huge space, the billowing poisonous smoke was still pervading, but the terrifying poisonous silk had disappeared in an instant.
Wang Chong felt a little more at ease and began to treat his injuries. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately headed in the direction where the warning "Be careful" came from.
In another place not far away, Wang Chong finally found that person.
"It's you?"
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the man sitting dejectedly outside the cave with his back leaning against the wall. His entire body was covered in green and he seemed to be on the verge of death. The azure-robed person who had warned him was none other than the renowned Young Master Qingyang of the martial arts world.
But that Young Master Qingyang, who had once stood before the various sects to guide the world and compete with him, now appeared to be deeply poisoned and on the verge of death.
"How could it be you?"
At almost the same time, Young Master Qingyang raised his drooping eyelids and looked at Wang Chong. He looked listless, and his life aura was extremely weak. Clearly, he was not in a good state. But when he saw Wang Chong standing in front of him, Young Master Qingyang's eyes flickered a little.
He and this' Young Master Qingyang 'could be considered to have some sort of destiny.
But not even Young Master Qingyang had expected that they would meet again in this sort of situation.
"Truly, enemies often cross paths. If you want to fight, then fight!"
As Young Master Qingyang spoke, he lowered his head, clearly confident that Wang Chong would take his revenge for his earlier grievance.
But what awaited him was a pill.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong took out a white pill and stuffed it into Young Master Qingyang's mouth.
"This is an antidote made in secret by the palace. Three hundred thousand taels of gold for one. It should be enough to stop the poison for now."
Wang Chong indifferently said as he stuffed one into his mouth.
The poison threads were far more potent than he had imagined. In just a few moments, half of Wang Chong's body had already gone slightly numb. If he didn't think of a way to neutralize the poison, he really might not be able to move.
Gulp! As expected of a pill made in secret by the palace, several antidote pills immediately neutralized a significant portion of the poison in Wang Chong's body.
"How could you be here? Isn't there a Nightmare Beast up ahead? With your strength, you shouldn't be able to get past it, right? "
Wang Chong indifferently said. As he spoke, he pressed a palm against one of Young Master Qingyang's acupuncture points, sending Stellar Energy into his body to neutralize the poison.
With Wang Chong's help, Young Master Qingyang's complexion improved, and the poison in his body began to recede at a rate visible to the naked eye. But his cultivation was still too shallow, far from being as profound as Wang Chong's. It would take some time before the poison in his body was completely neutralized.
"I didn't think that I would meet you in this sort of situation! The Origin Immortal Art is said to be the number one art in the world, and it's been one of a kind for thousands of years. Since I've run into this banquet, I don't want to miss it.
"But I didn't think that I would see an ancient Darkshadow Spider here. In order to protect me, Sword Dragon was also captured by this spider. If I hadn't run into Young Master, I would have already lost my life. "
Young Master Qingyang looked at Wang Chong with a complicated expression. A moment ago, he had been fighting to the death with Wang Chong on the ground, but now, it was Wang Chong who had saved his life.
"Darkshadow Spider?"
Wang Chong frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He had never heard of this name before, and from Young Master Qingyang's words, this spider clearly belonged to the same era as the Dragonbeasts and Nightmare Beasts.
But Wang Chong was rather surprised that Young Master Qingyang knew of the origins of this venomous creature.
"How did you know of this venomous creature?"
Wang Chong asked.
"This one's meridians were damaged, so I began to read extensively from a young age. Back then, I accidentally came across an ancient book that I read as a myth. But I didn't think that this ancient Darkshadow Spider would actually be real! "
Young Master Qingyang's eyes shone with unconcealable shock as he spoke.
"The venomous threads that this spider spits out are as thin as hair and even tougher than steel. According to the book, its spider silk is incomparably sharp. Even many treasured swords and sabers that come into contact with its poisonous silk can be easily cut into two. Moreover, this spider silk is impervious to fire and water. Even raging flames can't damage it in the slightest. It has no flaws at all. "
"That's not all. It's extremely poisonous. No matter what kind of martial artist they are, no matter how strong their Stellar Energy is, they will not be able to withstand it. It was precisely because Sword Dragon was poisoned by its threads that he was captured. "
A hint of sorrow appeared on Young Master Qingyang's face.
Wang Chong became pensive. For Young Master Qingyang to have such an understanding of this venomous creature was truly an unexpected harvest.
"Does the book you read have a way to deal with this venomous creature?"
Wang Chong asked.
"It's not that easy!"
Young Master Qingyang shook his head and bitterly smiled. His body leaned back against the wall as if he had used up all his strength.
From the beginning until now, at least hundreds of martial artists had been captured by this poisonous spider. Among them, there was no lack of top-notch experts from the various sects!
As an ordinary martial artist with an innately crippled body, it was already extremely difficult for him to pass through all the traps and mechanisms to reach this place.
"Young Master, there's no need to worry about me. I can't leave this place alive, so you should hurry up and leave! This poisonous spider would not easily leave its nest, but once it fought with it, everything would be completely different. It has a wary nature and won't attack until it knows its opponent's strength, but once it comes back to its senses, it will definitely leave its nest. At that time, it will be too late. "
Young Master Qingyang closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"He's an ordinary person. Without the help of others, he won't be able to leave alive. Moreover, after traveling through so many dangerous places, Young Master Qingyang was prepared to die the moment he entered the Origin Immortal Treasury. Now, that moment that had been delayed for so long has finally arrived. "
Wang Chong said nothing, countless thoughts flitting through his mind.
Although he didn't know exactly what Young Master Qingyang had experienced, he could not easily give up.
Bang!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong sent out a vast stream of Psychic Energy toward the ancient Darkshadow Spider's nest.
But to Wang Chong's surprise, his Psychic Energy had only just begun to spread out when it encountered an invisible barrier.
As expected!
Wang Chong inwardly gave an imperceptible nod, as if he had long since expected this.
The invisible barrier that had blocked Wang Chong's advance was none other than the dark green poison fog that pervaded the cave. This was the first time Wang Chong had encountered such a situation.
This formless poison fog was actually able to resist and interfere with his Psychic Energy.
This was the reason why Wang Chong had almost fallen for the poison fog.
But this poison fog was too scattered, and its interference with Psychic Energy was far less than that of a martial artist. With a thought, Wang Chong sent out a torrent of Psychic Energy, forcing his way through the poison fog.
Wang Chong quickly took in the entire cave.
Even though Wang Chong had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't help but be greatly shocked upon seeing the true state of the cavern.
This was an enormous underground space, even larger than the Nightmare Beast cave that Wang Chong had encountered.
At the center of this cave, Wang Chong saw an enormous ancient tree. This ancient tree was so wide that four or five people would need to wrap their arms around it, and it was forty to fifty meters tall. On its trunk, there were many knotted branches that looked like vines.
Unlike ordinary trees, this ancient tree didn't have any branches or leaves, only countless white spider webs that covered the entire tree like snow. Strands of spider webs hung down from the branches like willow catkins, creating an eerie sight to behold.
But the most eye-catching thing was the giant cocoons hanging from the branches.
With a single glance, Wang Chong immediately understood what was inside those cocoons.
