"Hmm, with us here, there's no need to fear the Sky Demon Sect."

Chu Jingsui and Xiahou Yan spoke one after another.

At this time, the Heavenly Corpse Sect would not take any initiative, as for the Sky Demon Sect... since Chen Mu had already escaped with his life, it was certain there was no presence above the Seventh Rank equivalent to a Grandmaster. They were all mighty practitioners within the Six Viscera Realm, naturally they had even less reason to fear.

Chen Mu looked at Chu Jingsui and Xiahou Yan, wanting to say that he had never actually feared these evil demons, but he had always been more cautious in his actions; however, he eventually shook his head and said:

"There's no time to delay, you two brothers should set off at once."

Since there were no traces of Heavenly Demons or Heavenly Corpses nearby, and no evil demons were watching Chu Jingsui and Xiahou Yan, it seemed that it was indeed only Kun Jie and his group, but they still needed to explore these caverns quickly.

"Hmm."

Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui nodded to each other, their expressions much more solemn by then, and both approached the base of the sand dune. At the center was sand continuously sinking inward, and after exchanging a glance, they stepped into it together, instantly disappearing into the quicksand below, vanishing beneath the Earth's Veins.

Seeing this, Chen Mu didn't hesitate too much either. With a flicker of his figure, he quickly followed the two, also plunging headfirst into the quicksand.

Because the cavern below was evidently very large, the sand tunnel was quite spacious. Following behind Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui downward, Chen Mu didn't feel constricted at all.

And when he had descended nearly two hundred yards down, he felt that the sand tunnel had finally come to an end.

Almost as soon as he poked his head out of the sand tunnel and burrowed out of the cavern, he heard a shrill neigh reverberating throughout the cavern, and then a fierce demonic power rushed towards him.

Just then,

a mass of swirling sand, wrapped with tremendous demonic power, condensed into a claw in the spacious cavern and lunged out from Chen Mu's line of sight, growing increasingly closer.

"Well done!"

Xiahou Yan laughed loudly, raising his spear. A length of green spiritual light appeared on the entire spear, a stream of Xun Wind's force gathered and swirling with every swing, immediately forming a spiral of green tornado, which collided with the sandy claw congealed with demonic power. Following a thunderous boom, the sandy claw kept shattering under his swinging spear.

Whosh.

Chen Mu also landed from the sand tunnel.

And almost right after he landed, from behind the flowing sands, a massive shadow lunged towards them, turning out to be a spider about ten yards long!

This giant spider king, covered with fine fur on its body—except the fur was short and light in color, seemingly just having molted and not fully grown yet. However, the demonic power emanating from its body was indeed much stronger than ordinary Sixth Rank demonic creatures, and even though it had just molted recently, its demon corpse felt much tougher than the likes of Sand Demon and other Sixth Rank demonic creatures.

Whoosh!

Despite the giant spider's huge size, its movements were extremely agile, lunging straight at Xiahou Yan in a flash.

A glint flashed in Chen Mu's eyes as he gathered a stream of Qi Force in his palm, subconsciously preparing to make a move.

But before he could act, he heard Chu Jingsui's cold shout:

"Come at me, and take this move!"

He reached back with one hand and, from somewhere, produced a cyan-green fan gleaming with spiritual light, undoubtedly a Spirit Weapon, imbued with the essence of Xun Wind.

Chi!

Chu Jingsui waved the green fan, and in an instant, the Power of Heaven and Earth converged, creating seven or eight giant visible cyan Wind Blades, crisscrossing like invisible Sword Qi, forming a net and slashing directly at the Spider King.

The Spider King's figure immediately froze in place, clearly not daring to withstand the full force of Chu Jingsui's Spirit Weapon with its body. Its front legs stomped in the yellow sand, quickly gathering a torrent of sand to shield itself.

"Hiss, hiss."

The Spider King was evidently furious at the intrusion of Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui, and in a display of immense demonic power, it managed to forcefully suppress both wielders of the Spirit Weapons.

Despite the suppression, however, Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui were not overwhelmed by the Spider King and continued to struggle, their furious hissing echoing continuously, immersing them in a fierce battle that caused the cave to tremble incessantly.

"Brother Chen, quickly!"

As Chu Jingsui fought alongside Xiahou Yan against the Spider King, he caught a glimpse of Chen Mu standing there "dazed" and couldn't help but call out to remind him.

He and Xiahou Yan, working together, could manage against the Spider King for a few moments, but dragging it out was risky. After all, wielding the Spirit Weapons was a great burden. If they could rely purely on their own strength, they might have a chance to wear down the Spider King, but persisting with Spirit Weapons left it uncertain who would falter first.

"..."

Chen Mu, upon hearing Chu Jingsui's words, glanced at the Spider King.

Although the situation was tough, seeing that Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui were holding off, he wasn't in a hurry to act and vanished into the depths of the cave, searching swiftly for valuable Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items using his senses.

"Hiss, hiss."

The Spider King, sensing Chen Mu's movement past it deeper into the cave, became even more enraged. Its eight legs continuously lifted and fell, each step condensing the sand into blades that struck in all directions, leaving deep marks almost piercing the extremely tough rocky walls of the cave.

But Xiahou Yan and Chu Jingsui, in perfect sync at that moment, pushed the might of their Spirit Weapons to the extreme, firmly trapping the Spider King in place, preventing it from leaving.

Meanwhile,

Chen Mu's figure had already reached deep within the cave. At just a glance, he frowned slightly, showing a trace of heartache.

"Earthly Elemental Stone, Earthly Primordial Essence..."

At first sight, he saw a pile of fragmented stones at the edge of the yellow sand, and even though they were shattered and had fine, gnawed marks, they were barely recognizable as Earthly Elemental Stone and Earthly Primordial Essence.

These Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, however, had been chewed and swallowed as food by the Spider King, leaving behind only a pile of fragments, their essence completely drained, turning them into worthless debris.

But in Chen Mu's senses, buried deep under that yellow sand, there still lay some unusual objects.
