Although the speed of the Flying Boat was very fast, it was still quite inferior compared to Flying Swords.
Therefore, after two hours of riding the Flying Boat to recover their Spiritual Qi, everyone once again flew on their Flying Swords.
This time, they were no longer competing for speed; when flying normally, Cultivators could actually fly for a very long time.
After another two hours, the mountains below and ahead became increasingly desolate. Although it was afternoon and the sunlight was strong, the surrounding environment gave He Pingsheng a very oppressive and dark feeling.
He kept hearing the roars of wild beasts in his ears.
"We're almost there!"
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng pointed to a huge tall mountain ahead and said, "The Mist Divinity Flower is different from other Spiritual Plants. It is a Rule Spiritual Plant, so it does not grow in places abundant with Spiritual Qi. Where it grows, there must be rules accompanying it!"
"Behind this great mountain is a valley, and the valley is shrouded in mist all year round!"
"The Mist Divinity Flower is in this valley!"
"Everyone, be careful; the Yao Beasts here are very powerful!"
"Be careful to conceal your aura!"
Whoosh...
As he spoke, the four of them flew over this towering mountain. Snow danced on the mountain, and the cold wind howled.
The four controlled their Flying Swords and plunged down towards the valley.
In just a few breaths, they descended from the mountain Peak to the valley.
The temperature in the valley suddenly rose, and the slopes presented a scene of lush green grass and wildflowers everywhere.
Further down, upon reaching the valley floor, it was a chaotic, misty white expanse.
Mist swirled!
The four landed!
The ground beneath their feet was soft, a thick layer of humus formed by accumulated old fallen leaves.
He Pingsheng's Divine Thought spread out, and the area within about four hundred feet around him was clearly visible to him; it didn't matter if his eyes couldn't see.
The four walked through the mist.
After walking for not long, they saw a fresh plant growing beneath several giant trees not far away.
A blue flower bloomed on that plant.
The flower was not large, about the size of a palm, but a wisp of ethereal Qi emanated from it, swaying as if it was both solid and dispersing.
He Pingsheng took a deep breath; he recognized it. This was indeed the Mist Divinity Flower.
At least on this point, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng had not lied to him.
"Everyone, don't be impulsive!"
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng lowered his voice and said, "Look at the trees... there are two venomous spiders hidden... and both are at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Everyone's Divine Thought swept upwards, and sure enough, they saw two enormous spiders slowly moving on the giant tree.
He Pingsheng noticed that the spiders had a human face-shaped pattern on their backs.
"This..." Long's voice trembled slightly, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, could this be the Man-faced Demon Spider?"
"Exactly!" Xuan Yuan Chang Geng said, "It is indeed the terrifying Man-faced Demon Spider!"
"This... this, this, this..." Long seemed to be backing out, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, this thing is highly poisonous, you wouldn't not know that, would you?"
"Although we have the advantage in numbers, once someone is poisoned, it's very difficult to survive!"
"Hehe..." Xuan Yuan Chang Geng said, "It's fine... Fellow Daoist Long, although I didn't tell you in advance that Man-faced Demon Spiders were here, I can tell you that I've already fought these two Man-faced Demon Spiders several times!"
"They are indeed very difficult to deal with, but they also have weaknesses!"
"That is, these two beasts have insufficient intelligence!"
"Everyone just needs to be careful of the poisonous silk they spit out!"
"You all watch first, and see how I entangle with them!"
As he spoke, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng leaped up directly, a flash of sword light in his hand, and slashed towards one of the venomous spiders.
Perhaps the venomous spiders had already noticed the four approaching, so the moment Xuan Yuan jumped up, they moved.
The attacked venomous spider swung its body and left its original spot as if swinging on a swing.
And the other venomous spider, with a whoosh, sprayed a white spider silk at Xuan Yuan Chang Geng.
Its speed was simply appalling.
Fortunately, Xuan Yuan was well prepared. After launching his attack, he immediately twisted his direction in the air.
Hiss...
The spider silk cut through the air, grazing Xuan Yuan's side.
If he had been careless, he would have been hit.
"Hiss..."
The next moment, the two spiders gave Xuan Yuan no time to react and simultaneously spat out spider silk again.
And each Man-faced Demon Spider spat out three strands of spider silk.
The spider silk was as sharp as arrows.
"Open..." Xuan Yuan, in the Void Realm, waved his hand and took out a protective shield. His Spiritual Qi expanded to form an illusory protective shield of later generations.
Six strands of spider silk simultaneously pierced into the illusory shield.
With a bang, the immense force rebounded, directly knocking Xuan Yuan, who was at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, flying.
Xuan Yuan used the momentum to leave, then landed back beside He Pingsheng and the other two.
"See?" Xuan Yuan said, "The difficulty isn't how to kill these two Man-faced Demon Spiders, but how to control your strength. Otherwise, with one Spell, if the two Demon Spiders don't die but the Mist Divinity Flower below is destroyed, then our reason for coming here will be gone!"
Upon hearing this, He Pingsheng finally felt the difficulty of this trip.
Just now, Xuan Yuan had fought with the two venomous spiders, but after Xuan Yuan jumped away, the two Man-faced Demon Spiders did not pursue.
They just guarded their spot.
So, luring them away was impossible.
They could only engage in battle.
But when fighting, they couldn't go for the kill, otherwise, if they were careless, the Mist Divinity Flower below would be destroyed.
Yet, without going for the kill, they couldn't defeat them.
The deadlock couldn't be broken.
No wonder Xuan Yuan hadn't succeeded before?
"Next, this is what we'll do!" Xuan Yuan looked at Daoist Long and said, "Fellow Daoist Long, I'll trouble you to use your treasure to trap one of the venomous spiders!"
"The time doesn't need to be long, two breaths will suffice!"
"Fellow Daoist He, the two of us will deal with the other venomous spider!" Xuan Yuan said, "Everything according to my command. If you can poison the venomous spider with your poisonous thorns, even better!"
"Finally!" Xuan Yuan turned to Daoist Zi Xian, "Fellow Daoist Zi Xian, the task of picking the flower is entrusted to you!"
"Just pick it directly!"
"Remember, the flower must be intact, not damaged!"
"Do you all understand?"
Xuan Yuan asked.
The three nodded.
Xuan Yuan said, "Then let's start now... Fellow Daoist He, follow me, Fellow Daoist Long, prepare!"
Whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh...
He Pingsheng followed Xuan Yuan as two figures flew out, sweeping towards the venomous spiders.
"Open..."
Xuan Yuan opened his protective shield immediately.
He Pingsheng's Divine Thought stirred, and naturally, dozens of thorny vines emerged from the ground, shooting out with a whoosh and attempting to ensnare the venomous spider.
But it didn't succeed.
Because the venomous spider was hanging from the tree, its movements were too agile.
Whoosh whoosh...
Hiss hiss hiss...
Not only did they fail to trap the venomous spider, but two silk threads shot towards He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng dodged with a swift movement and then launched another attack casually.
Hiss hiss hiss...
This time, the thorny vines emerged from the tree, rushing straight for the venomous spider.
And they truly managed to trap the venomous spider.
