NOVPUBWhen Zou Hang said that, Tang Ke was completely dumbfounded.
Before, Zou Hang had been completely obedient to her; she had thought that Zou Hang had already fallen under her charm.
Who would have known that when truly faced with life and death, Zou Hang didn’t even keep her in mind, even rating her below Wu Bin, whom he had just met!
Song Bing couldn’t stand it anymore from the side.
"Come on, it’s such a time; do you still have the mind to argue?"
Wu Bin ignored the two quarreling and turned to Zhu Ling to ask, "How about it, can you handle those two spiders?"
Zhu Ling shook his head and said, "Those two spiders are at least of dragon soldier level; my strength hasn’t fully recovered. Even if I can deal with them this time, I won’t be able to next time."
Wu Bin immediately understood.
Because of the Absolute Ceaseless Barrier, the spiritual energy available between heaven and earth was already scarce.
It could be said that the spiritual power in Zhu Ling’s body was diminishing with each use.
So, if they let Zhu Ling make a move every time they encountered danger, he might be overwhelmed by a more significant danger later on.
"Then is there a way to deal with them?"
Wu Bin felt he still had fighting capability, now he just needed to know the spiders’ weaknesses. He believed that with some effort, he should be able to deal with the two spiders.
Zhu Ling pointed at the distant Burial Mounds and said, "These two spiders definitely didn’t appear out of nowhere. Such large dragon soldiers need to consume a lot of spiritual power to move."
"And with the current concentration of spiritual energy, the only possibility for someone to command these two spiders is that they are inside the Burial Mounds. Only there is there enough spiritual power to allow the spiders to do such things."
"As long as we can find the commander, we can capture the king first."
Wu Bin thought it made sense.
In a situation where the spiritual power of heaven and earth was very scarce, indeed, some more sinister methods used human souls to transform into spiritual power, thus achieving a short-term low consumption."
Where nearby were human souls most abundant?
Naturally, it was the Burial Mounds.
So, Zhu Ling’s speculation was very reasonable.
Wu Bin nodded and said, "Alright, then we’ll head to the Burial Mounds first."
When Song Bing heard Wu Bin say this, his legs went weak.
"No way, Old Wu, you’re joking, right? Going to the Burial Mounds at a time like this? Who knows what else might pop out of there; please don’t joke with me!"
Song Bing was truly scared. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
The sudden appearance of the two giant spiders had almost scared him to death, yet now Wu Bin was actively choosing to go to the Burial Mounds.
Wu Bin said lightly, "If you don’t want to go, you can wait here, just be careful not to be discovered by those two spiders."
After Wu Bin finished speaking, he lowered his body and walked towards the Burial Mounds.
Although He Bingbing was afraid, she always believed in Wu Bin. So she didn’t say anything and directly followed Wu Bin.
Seeing that He Bingbing and Zhu Ling had both gone, Song Bing naturally could not stay behind with Tang Ke and Zou Hang.
Those two were unreliable and seemed selfish, staying with them would only get him killed.
"Old Wu, wait for me; don’t walk so fast!"
Song Bing gritted his teeth and followed as well.
Zou Hang and Tang Ke were not fools; now that they had turned against each other, the best course of action was naturally to follow Wu Bin.
To avoid drawing the attention of the two spiders, Wu Bin and his group advanced without ever turning on their flashlights, groping their way towards the chaotic burial mound in the dark.
Fortunately, it seemed that the spiders also lacked the ability to search for them in the dark, so they moved in the opposite direction, completely away from Wu Bin and his group.
This was a good thing for Wu Bin and his companions, as it meant they might be able to safely reach the chaotic burial mound as long as they made no noise.
The closer Wu Bin and his group got to the chaotic burial mound, the more intense the eerie atmosphere became.
For ordinary people like He Bingbing and Song Bing, for some reason, they had already broken out in goosebumps, and even felt a bit dizzy, walking somewhat unsteadily.
If Wu Bin hadn’t been supporting her, He Bingbing would have almost stepped off into nothingness and fallen down the mountain several times.
Zhu Ling said gravely, "Something feels off here. There’s miasma around; raise your heads a bit and don’t keep them too low. Be careful of poisoning."
Miasma, generally found in rainforests, arises from a mixture of the rotting stench of various animal corpses and the emissions of some toxic plants.
Inhaling miasma could at best cause headaches and confusion, and at worst, instant death.
By this time, Tang Ke, who was walking at the back of the group, already felt her vision blurring. Subconsciously stepping forward, she seemed to step on something soft and immediately felt pain in her ankle.
Looking down, Tang Ke saw a venomous snake viciously biting into her ankle!
"Ah! A snake! A venomous snake!"
Having been bitten by the venomous snake, Tang Ke sat down abruptly, falling into the bushes.
Little did she know that the moment her hand touched the ground, it too landed on something soft.
She immediately felt her hair stand on end and turned her head to see that the surrounding bushes were full of venomous snakes!
The snakes were densely packed together, numbering hundreds, if not thousands.
Tang Ke felt as if she had mistakenly wandered into the Pit of Ten Thousand Snakes, and the whole ordeal made her break into inconsolable tears.
Her crying immediately brought Wu Bin to a peak of tension.
Those two spiders were still unaware of their location, but Tang Ke’s loud crying would surely lead them right to them.
Thinking this, Wu Bin immediately said, "Run, don’t look back!"
He Bingbing asked, "Aren’t we going to save her?"
"We can’t."
Wu Bin had managed to save Tang Ke on the train earlier simply because he felt he could do it without undue risk, unable to bear seeing a living soul perish before his eyes.
But now Tang Ke had fallen into a pit of venomous snakes, and anyone who attempted a rescue risked being bitten.
Not to mention she was now crying loudly, which probably had already alerted the spiders to their presence.
Their only chance for survival was to rush into the chaotic burial mound immediately and find the person controlling everything; perhaps then Tang Ke might still be saved!
As Wu Bin and the others left without looking back, Tang Ke cried even harder.
"Save me, save me!"
"I don’t want to die here, I’m too young, I can’t die here!"
At that moment, Tang Ke had no intention of keeping quiet.
Fear had completely taken over her.
More importantly, she felt abandoned, and therefore she was not going to die quietly without exposing the location of Wu Bin and the others.
She wasn’t so noble and great; she was just an ordinary person after all.
