Chapter 420: Sob

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei did not rush to rescue anyone. Yu Shijin, the brother and sister, are in a somewhat precarious situation now, but it’s not a matter of life and death.

Even if it were a matter of life and death, Chen Fei knew that they must have some means of self-preservation at their disposal.

The Yu family, as a familial power, doesn’t possess as many overall resources as the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and they might even have fewer resources.

While their overall resources are limited, the members of the Yu family’s main lineage are few in number. When you divide those resources among them, each person ends up with a substantial share.

Yu Shijin and the others dared to come out and travel, so they must have some treasure to ensure their safety. Chen Fei didn’t need to worry about their well-being.

His clone quietly separated from Chen Fei and entered the spider cave.

These spiders were extremely sensitive to the presence and movements of outsiders. Fortunately, Chen Fei’s clone didn’t emit either of those cues. At this moment, the attention of these spiders was focused on Yu Shijin and the others, allowing Chen Fei’s clone to smoothly penetrate the cave.

It was dark and damp inside, and occasionally, Chen Fei saw many small spiders biting and fighting each other. Additionally, he observed many spider eggs in the process of hatching.

Each spider egg was trembling slightly, and thick mucus covered the surroundings. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was a subtle movement within the egg sacs.

Chen Fei remained unfazed but couldn’t help but wonder why this place could support the proliferation of so many spider demons.

The spiders that had surrounded Yu Shijin earlier included quite a few second-tier ones; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to trap two cultivators at the early stage of Aperture Tempering realm so effectively.

Chen Fei continued to delve deeper and finally arrived in a gigantic cavern.

It seemed like the interior of a mountain, hollowed out, rather than a natural formation. Upon reaching this place, Chen Fei distinctly sensed the richness of the world’s aura.

A spider queen, resembling a small mountain, was currently crawling in the center. It was at the mid-stage of the second tier, roughly equivalent to the mid-stage of Aperture Tempering realm in human terms.

However, a typical cultivator at the mid-stage of Aperture Tempering realm, unless their techniques are exceptional, might not fare well against a spider queen of this size. They might even find themselves trapped.

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted to the area beneath the spider queen. The fluctuations of the world’s aura in the entire cavern originated from this point.

He activated his Star Gazing Art, and a faint light emanated from his eyes, revealing everything beneath the spider queen in his sight.

“Elemental stone mine?”

Chen Fei appeared somewhat surprised, and this discovery partially explained his earlier confusion about how so many spiders could thrive in this place.

If this was indeed an elemental stone mine, then the presence of so many spider demons wasn’t that unusual.

The light in Chen Fei’s eyes grew brighter as he continued to examine the area under the spider queen. Whether it was due to his relatively intense investigation or other factors, the spider queen, which had been pretending to sleep, trembled slightly as if awakening.

Chen Fei paid no mind to it and continued his observation for a while. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The initial excitement of discovering the elemental stone mine had faded from Chen Fei’s face.

It wasn’t that he had made a mistake in his judgment; indeed, beneath the spider queen was an elemental stone mine. However, this elemental stone mine was exceptionally small, just a tiny vein.

Over the years, as it had been absorbed and consumed by these spiders, the elemental stone mine had already dwindled significantly. According to Chen Fei’s estimation, even if he were to claim this elemental stone mine, he would only obtain a dozen or so elemental stones from it.

A dozen elemental stones might seem like a decent amount. In terms of silver, it would be worth tens of thousands. That sounded quite impressive.

However, for Chen Fei in his current situation, a dozen elemental stones didn’t elicit much of an emotional response. After slaying Tao Shiye and obtaining the high-grade spiritual sword, he hadn’t yet decided how to handle it. If he could sell it successfully, it would bring in an income of two thousand elemental stones.

Therefore, a dozen elemental stones didn’t generate much excitement for Chen Fei.

If Yu Shijin and the others weren’t outside, Chen Fei might have taken a more detailed approach, charging in, kicking the spider queen away, and then digging out the elemental stones.

But now, he wasn’t particularly interested.

Chen Fei glanced around and in a corner, surprisingly found a low-grade spiritual blade. It seemed that some cultivator at the Aperture Tempering realm stage had fallen prey to these spider demons, and the spiritual essence on this low-grade spiritual blade had dissipated, leaving it a rusty and damaged item.

Without any further discoveries, it was evident that this place had become a den of spider demons due to the presence of an elemental stone mine.

In the past, Ruan Qiaojun’s father had been lucky enough to discover Gold Sky Stone here and escape unscathed. With slightly worse luck, a cultivator at the Body Tempering realm would have met a gruesome end here.

Even a cultivator at the early stage of Aperture Tempering realm, if slightly slower in reacting, could have been surrounded and killed, much like the owner of that low-grade spiritual blade.

Chen Fei shook his head and dispersed his form, vanishing from the cavern.

The spider queen opened her eyes, scanned her surroundings, found nothing unusual, and then closed her eyes slowly.

Outside the cave.

Chen Fei’s main body glanced at Yu Shijin and the others who were still struggling, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spot.

Not long after Chen Fei had distanced himself by several miles, he heard a tremendous explosion from behind, accompanied by the faint but sharp cries of the dying spiders.

Evidently, Yu Shijin and the siblings had realized the hopelessness of their situation and used their life-saving treasures.

Continuing to penetrate deeper into the cave was out of the question, but they would undoubtedly escape without any issues. This was the advantage of their foundation. For other cultivators at the early stage of Aperture Tempering realm, facing the same predicament would almost certainly mean certain death. Blood Ignition techniques or shattering their apertures, these suicidal methods would be of no use..
