Chapter 291 Enter the Lair and Intercept the Corpse-Refining Sect! (Two in One)
More and more spider monsters came from underground, as if they stayed deep underground all year round.
No wonder the spider monster nests had never been found in the thousands of miles of the spiritual crystal veins before.
Spider monsters that can drill and live deep underground are really unexpected.
Now after failing to seize the spiritual crystals of the veins, these spider monsters have chosen to come out in full force.
There are tens of thousands of spider monsters following these three ancestors!
If they were in this barren mountain, with the scale and combat power of this group of spider monsters, they could rule the entire dense forest and make the other monsters dare not invade again. I think there would be no problem.
"Did this group of monsters completely give up everything for those spiritual crystal mines?" Song Changming was puzzled.
There are tens of thousands of monsters in the ancient abyss. After tens of millions of years of monster blood inheritance, they have reproduced and thrived. Logically, they all attach great importance to the continuation of the tribe.
Although a piece of spiritual crystal mine is tempting, it should not be so crazy that the whole clan will fight with the human army in the human territory.
"Or maybe my understanding of the demon race is still too shallow."
Song Changming pondered secretly, but his hands and feet did not slow down at all, following Fu Yuan to kill all the way.
Whether it is a half-demon form or a demon beast, he will kill it.
In the past year or so, the two have fought together many times, and they have a tacit understanding of each other as teammates.
Song Changming quite recognizes Fu Yuan as a person.
Whether on the battlefield or in private, he is a reliable and trustworthy person.
No wonder Xing Tiexin values Fu Yuan so much.
But gradually, Song Changming is still pushing the spider monster, but Fu Yuan starts to save people.
This is also what Fu Yuan often does.
When he sees soldiers in danger on the battlefield, he sometimes can't bear it and rescues them without delaying the opportunity.
Many soldiers in the army had been saved by Fu Yuan, so Song Changming was not surprised and continued to kill monsters calmly.
Unknowingly, Song Changming had killed his way to the vicinity of the three underground pits.
Some spider monsters surrounded him, but they were afraid to move forward.
They were scared by Song Changming's killing just now, and they knew that they would be killed if they rushed forward, which was a death sentence.
Song Changming stood on the edge of the pit, and his perception spread out, exploring the pit.
At the same time, he also noticed that he was not the only general who killed through the monster group and came to the vicinity of the pit.
There were even generals who tried to fly into the pit, but were besieged by the spider monsters and retreated.
Suddenly, Song Changming's eyes condensed, and he moved into one of the pits.
The pit was very deep, and the bottom was full of mud and gravel.
Occasionally, spider monsters crawled out of it, climbed up the pit and came to the surface.
Song Changming was surrounded by lightning. He stepped down heavily, and the lightning flashed and vibrated, causing the dirt and gravel in the pit to float up.
The next moment, he glimpsed the bottom of the pit covered with dirt and gravel, which looked like a hornet's nest.
Cave paths appeared in front of him, and the spider monsters crawled out from these underground paths.
Song Changming narrowed his eyes slightly, followed his perception, and went directly into the hole on the side of the rock wall of the big pit.
These caves were all entered and exited by spider monsters, so they were relatively spacious and not cramped.
However, perhaps the three spider ancestors were a little hasty in drilling out of the ground, and many caves and underground paths were destroyed, collapsed and buried.
Song Changming was in danger of being buried alive underground if he entered.
In the cave, extending all the way, you can see many broken bodies of spider monsters, which make the whole cave smell fishy.
Boom!
A burly figure over two meters tall slowly lifted the seriously injured spider monster.
"No," the spider demon begged for mercy.
But the next moment, the burly man tore the spider demon's body into two pieces with his bare hands, extremely violent!
A gust of damp wind blew in the face, blowing off the burly man's hood, revealing a face full of patches.
His eyes were dark green, and he exuded a dead breath, lifeless.
"It should be in front." On the side, there were several figures wearing black cloaks and hoods, one of whom seemed to be talking to himself.
The voice was dull and echoed in the tunnel.
"Speed up."
The entire tunnel was shaking constantly due to the fierce battle on the surface, and there was a tendency to collapse, which also made these people speed up their pace.
Soon, facing the damp wind, they came to an open wetland.
Sunlight shone in from the cracks in the rocks on the top, making this place no longer dark and lightless.
There was a large pool of water here, which was freezing cold.
If you look closely, you can see that there are streams of water seeping in from the cracks in the surrounding rocks, which is why this pool of water is gathered.
In addition to the pool, the rock walls are covered with thick spider silk everywhere, and there are piles of spider eggs, which are like bunches of grapes hanging on the rock walls everywhere, entangled with those spider webs. Such a scene is comparable to the Pansi Cave.
The remaining spider monsters in the cave are huddled in fear, looking at the figures that broke in front of them.
Their tribes have already come out in full force to fight with the human army. The remaining ones in the cave are just some old, weak, sick and disabled, who have no fighting power to compete with the human warriors.
"Look at what this is!" One of them took off his hood, took two steps forward, and greed appeared in his eyes. He looked at the corner of the cave, behind the spider web, and the small pile of glittering things.
Isn't that the spirit crystal!
He could even tell at a glance that it was not just a spiritual crystal of ordinary value.
At least they were all medium-grade spiritual crystals, and there were hundreds of them!
"This should be the savings of one of the ancestors of the spider clan here!" Hu Yan grinned and laughed out loud.
If he didn't take the opportunity to pick up the bargain this time, these would have been the spoils of the army.
"What a coincidence!"
He had just passed by here by chance and learned that there was a spiritual crystal vein being mined here, so he wanted to wait and see.
He never thought that he would directly witness the fight between the military and the spider demon clan.
Having been outside for many years, he instantly realized that this was a great opportunity for him to pick up bargains as a third party.
So he decisively entered the spider cave.
Compared with the spiritual crystal vein guarded by the human military, it was much safer to sneak into the spider cave here.
Anyway, he was sure that the spider demon clan here was about to die, so he had no worries.
"Clean this place up." Hu Yan ordered.
After receiving the order, several figures around him immediately set out to kill all the spider monsters.
The spider web that wrapped the spirit crystal was difficult to remove. It was extremely tough and could not be broken.
"What kind of spider web is this!"
Just as Hu Yan was angry, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
"Who!" He turned around and looked.
A figure appeared in the shadows.
Wearing silver-white cloud-patterned armor, his identity was self-evident.
Hu Yan looked at the young-looking general in front of him, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Are you the only one who found this place?" Hu Yan asked.
"For the time being, it should be." Song Changming's tone was calm, and his eyes fell on several figures on the side.
Especially on the burly man with green eyes.
"Green-eyed corpse puppet!"
Just now, he sensed a special and familiar cold death aura erupting in this direction.
Now he found that his guess was correct. The whereabouts of the corpse puppet appeared here!
"Why are you here, you from the Corpse Refining Sect?" Song Changming directly revealed the other party's identity.
There were two green-eyed corpse puppets and three yellow-eyed corpse puppets.
"I happened to pass by here and saw the human race and the demon race fighting, so I came to help." Hu Yan stared at Song Changming and said this.
At the same time, he was also confirming whether Song Changming was the only one here.
Song Changming looked at the corpse puppets again and again, and they all had human faces.
According to his investigation over the past year or so, the Corpse Refining Sect located in the 36 Caves of Southern Xinjiang is different from the Corpse Refining Sect he had seen in the outside world before, in that the corpse puppets they refine may not only be made of human warriors.
The corpses of the demon race can also be refined into human-like corpse puppets.
Combined with the background of the opposition between the human race and the demon race, the Corpse Refining Sect is also divided into multiple complex factions.
Some members of the Corpse Refining Sect oppose refining human beings as corpse puppets, believing that they should be united against the outside world, put the overall situation first, refine demons and kill demons, rather than refine humans and kill people.
But more members of the Corpse Refining Sect have no taboos, and even prefer to use the human race as the main material to refine corpse puppets.
The member of the Corpse Refining Sect in front of him is obviously the latter.
He probably hopes that more people of the human race will die so that he can take away some useful corpse refining materials. How could he want to help the army?
Song Changming's eyes wandered and fell on the small pile of spirit crystals in the thick spider web. He basically understood the other party's intention to come here.
"Kill!" Hu Yan on the other side ordered at the moment when Song Changming's attention was diverted.
The corpse puppets around him received the order and immediately jumped up and killed Song Changming.
The two green-eyed corpse puppets both have innate combat power, and they are the only two that can pose a threat to Song Changming.
In the blink of an eye, the green-eyed corpse puppet appeared in front of Song Changming.
Each of the green-eyed corpse puppets held two sharp swords, and the sword tactics they performed were quite exquisite, and their sword attainments were quite high.
Song Changming moved and took a step back to avoid the opponent's attack.
He noticed that the two green-eyed corpse puppets not only looked similar, but also the sword techniques they used seemed to be from the same source, and they also had a good tacit cooperation with each other.
These two green-eyed corpse puppets must have been innate masters with high attainments in swordsmanship when they were alive, and they might even be brothers.
It must be said that such a combination of corpse puppets is a top-level material with great potential for cultivation in the Corpse Refining Sect.
Any member of the Corpse Refining Sect would be jealous of them.
This pair of corpse puppet brothers also reminded Song Changming of his two dead brothers.
I don't know if they have become corpse puppets of others like this, being taken away and manipulated at will.
Whenever he thought of this, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he wished to destroy the entire Corpse Refining Sect and completely destroy this training method in the long river of history.
On the other side, after the two green-eyed corpse puppets stabbed in vain, they immediately performed the subsequent martial arts.
Fortunately, they had a strong corpse puppet body, but no longer had the innate qi that they had cultivated for a lifetime.
In this way, the martial arts attainment was greatly reduced in their hands.
Song Changming observed the opponent's attack for a while, and then suddenly gathered his strength and slashed with a knife.
The purple-gold knife light suddenly appeared in the dim rock wall, dazzling and scorching.
Under the burst of power, the green-eyed corpse puppet was chopped away by Song Changming on the spot.
With a bang, the body hit the rock wall, which immediately caused the front rock wall to be covered with cracks, and more water flowed in from it.
Hu Yan was stunned when he saw this.
He knew very well how strong the physical strength of the green-eyed corpse puppet was.
How could it be possible at this moment.
Before he could come to his senses, another green-eyed corpse puppet was blown away one after another, and his two green-eyed corpse puppets were embedded in the rock wall like a stack of Arhats.
The remaining three yellow-eyed corpse puppets were like puppets in front of Song Changming, unable to block a knife, and their three heads flew away.
"My hard work" Hu Yan looked at the scene in front of him dully.
"I overestimated you, the corpse refining people of our sect are just like this." Song Changming said lightly, holding a knife and walking towards Hu Yan.
"Protect me!" Hu Yan was shocked.
The green-eyed corpse puppet on the wall shook its head, received the order, and immediately flew towards Song Changming without hesitation.
As a result, it was chopped to the ground again soon.
If these two green-eyed corpse puppets were still alive, they could fully exert their martial arts strength and sword skills, and they might be considered strong enemies.
Being refined into a corpse puppet now is a kind of weakening for the strong men of their level. No matter how superb their martial arts skills are, they can only exert 30% or 40% at most in the body of a corpse puppet.
"It seems that this skill of refining corpse puppets also has considerable limitations."
Song Changming stepped on the chest of the green-eyed corpse puppet on the ground. Under the huge pressure, the corpse puppet's sternum was broken, and its internal organs were damaged, which also interrupted its momentum to struggle to get up.
Then Song Changming raised his knife and cut it off without delay.
"Cover me to escape!" Resisting the mental backlash after losing the corpse puppet, Hu Yan gave an order to the last green-eyed corpse puppet, bypassed Song Changming, and fled in the original direction.
He regretted it very much at this moment. If he had known that Song Changming was so powerful, he should have retreated under the cover of the corpse puppet at the beginning.
Now that he was delayed, even the precious green-eyed corpse puppet was gone.
It was a bit too late for him to escape again.
And this was the fact.
Just as he bypassed Song Changming and fled to the only cave exit here, there were several quick close combat sounds behind him, followed by the rumble of innate energy.
His last green-eyed corpse puppet flew past him and hit the cave exit first, causing the exit to collapse.
"Where are you going?"
Song Changming's voice came, and Hu Yan shuddered suddenly, feeling cold from head to toe.
With a roar, he drew his sword and stabbed at his side regardless of anything, where there was clearly an extra figure.
However, compared to his two green-eyed corpse puppets, his personal martial arts was not worth mentioning, not even at the innate realm.
Song Changming grabbed the palm holding the sword and twisted it off with a little force.
By the way, he also broke the other hand holding the talisman paper.
"Level 3 shock blast talisman?" Song Changming glanced at the talisman paper that had not been activated in time.
Now he has a certain degree of understanding of many talisman papers circulating on the market.
This shock blast talisman is of the third grade. If used well, it can even knock out the innate warrior by surprise. This is quite powerful!
Even if it fails to knock out the enemy, it can still cause great interference to the enemy, making it easier for him to escape. It is a very practical and expensive talisman.
Putting away this shock blast talisman, just in case, Song Changming also broke the legs of the corpse refining sect member.
Hu Yan's face was pale and he felt desperate.
He never thought that he would come here to take advantage of the situation. He had deliberately avoided the human army, but in the end he still fell into the hands of the army.
