Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Beauty Spider, Red Flame Scorpion! (2nd Update)
Lu Xia’s expression became incredibly grave.
The only time he had read about a Gu bug that could transform into human form was in the ancient Gu tome passed down by his ancestors.
And the tome had made it very clear: such shape-shifting Gu were all extremely powerful beings.
But weren’t these creatures supposed to have gone extinct long ago?
Why would one suddenly appear in the Insect Immortal Cave today?
Could it be… that the legend was true?
As if sensing Lu Xia’s shock and confusion, the female spider let out a series of coquettish laughs.
“It seems you, this little guy, know nothing! Hehe, the lineage of Gu Masters has indeed come to an end with you! Come, sister will let you become an ‘Immortal’!”
As she spoke, the female spider’s seductive eyes were silky smooth, full of flirtatious charm.
Ah Fei’s eyes filled with infatuation, and he involuntarily stepped forward.
Lu Xia abruptly pulled him behind himself, then took a deep breath and coldly said, “I don’t care where you came from, but this is Miao Immortal Valley, not a place for your kind to cause chaos!”
The female spider shook with laughter, “Miao Immortal Valley? That’s hilarious! It has been over two thousand years since your ancestors sealed the entrance to the insect realm! If it were your powerful Gu Master ancestors here, I would say nothing and turn away, but you…?”
With a mocking look, the female spider suddenly opened her mouth, and a white rainbow shot straight toward Lu Xia.
Lu Xia’s face was as still as water as he shouted harshly and blocked with both hands.
Boom!
Lu Xia blocked the white rainbow.
But it was only then that Lu Xia realized this white rainbow was actually a strand of silk thread emitting an evil white light.
Spider silk!
A chill ran through Lu Xia’s heart as he tried to break free.
The female spider sneered, “Stop making a fool of yourself with such skills! Come here!”
As she spoke, the spider silk wrapped around Lu Xia’s hands and then violently yanked backwards.
The pull was so strong that it sent Lu Xia flying through the air.
Ah Fei screamed in fright, “Master!”
He then grabbed Lu Xia and desperately dragged backwards.
But his strength was insignificant in front of the spider.
It even pulled him along as well.
The female spider let out a faint cold laugh, flashing two sinister fangs glowing with a ghostly light, preparing to turn Lu Xia and the other into her puppets.
But just at this moment, Lu Xia yelled loudly from midair, and behind him suddenly appeared the huge phantom of a Three-Legged Golden Toad.
As the phantom appeared, the spider silk snapped.
With that, the female spider also cried out in alarm and quickly retreated far back, fear evident on her face.
“Three-Legged Golden Toad, damn it, how could you have such a primeval Gu bug?”
Lu Xia steadied himself as rays of light appeared behind him.
Where the light touched, the surrounding black spiders screamed and turned into smoke.
Lu Xia said coldly, “Evil bug, I don’t care where you came from, now, go back where you came from, and we can still talk; otherwise, I’ll ensure you die right here!”
The female spider slowly regained her composure and sneered faintly, “I admit your primeval Gu bug is not bad, but unfortunately, it’s just a small Ninth Revolution bug to me, just a bit troublesome. And do you really think… only I have come from the insect realm?”
As her voice echoed through the cavern, rustling sounds came from the depths of the dark cave, and then a huge, three-meter-tall red Giant Scorpion slowly emerged.
After a puff of red smoke, the Giant Scorpion transformed into a burly, sinister-looking bald man with an evil face.
The burly man snickered evilly a few times, “Beauty Spider, what’s this? You can’t even deal with such a junior? The Queen ordered us to clear everything, to prepare for her arrival!”
“Scorpion, cut the crap, this guy has the Three-Legged Golden Toad, which is exactly what restrains me, so you take him on! As a reward, I’ll spend some time with you later!” the mother spider cooed silkily.
The burly man’s complexion suddenly turned unnatural, and he couldn’t help but step back a few paces involuntarily.
Because he knew all too well how vicious this mother spider was, he naturally declined respectfully but firmly.
At this moment, Lu Xia’s heart was also trembling slightly.
Another shape-shifting Gu insect.
Now, Lu Xia could finally be sure that the legends passed down by his ancestors were all true.
But the ancestors’ legend only mentioned that the depths of Insect Immortal Cave might be connected to some unknowable realm.
No one had ever mentioned that there was also a Seal within.
Thinking about it now, it must be because too much time had passed, and the transmission of knowledge within Miao Immortal Valley had almost been completely interrupted once, resulting in the loss of many things.
Regardless, these terrifying magic insects had already arrived, and just now, Lu Xia had heard the Giant Scorpion mention something about a queen!
It must be even more terrifying, he thought.
Lu Xia’s heart gradually calmed down, and the slight panic and fear he had felt earlier disappeared.
Then he spoke quietly to Ah Fei behind him, “When the fight starts, I’ll hold them off, you run away immediately!”
Ah Fei was startled. “Master, I want to stay with you!”
Lu Xia took a deep breath, “Don’t say that, these magic insects are all scared of my Three-Legged Golden Toad, I can hold them off! You must go and alert our people to prepare, and if it comes to it… evacuate Miao Immortal Valley immediately!”
Ah Fei’s face turned pale, and he said with a quiver, “Master…”.
“Did you hear me?” Lu Xia’s voice was extremely solemn.
Ah Fei hung his head, tears streaming down, “Yes!”
He understood what his master meant by it might not work!
Meanwhile, the Giant Scorpion had already charged over with a ferocious laugh.
At the same time, more than a dozen red flame streamers rushed towards them.
Lu Xia snorted coldly, pushing his life Gu insect to its limit and even making the apparition of the Three-Legged Golden Toad seem as solid as reality; then, he opened his mouth.
A sonic wave shot forth immediately.
Boom!
The streamers were scattered by this frog-like croak.
Lu Xia then shouted urgently, “What are you waiting for? Run!”
Ah Fei bit his lip and turned to dash away.
The mother spider chuckled coquettishly, “Little brother, don’t run, sister has candy for you!”
As she spoke, streaks of white light shot straight towards Ah Fei.
But midway through, Lu Xia roared in anger, and bursts of golden light shot out from the Golden Toad’s back, not only scattering the white light but also heading straight for the mother spider.
The mother spider screamed in shock, one piece of her armor shattered by a golden light, which then began to spread over her.
With a scream, the mother spider could no longer maintain her human form and collapsed back into the form of a Giant Spider.
She then decisively broke off the leg that had been hit by the golden light and shouted angrily, “Boy, I’m going to drain you dry, bit by bit!”
However, thanks to this delay, Ah Fei had already rushed to the entrance of the cave.
At that point, countless black spiders and crimson scorpions blocked the way out.
Ah Fei had also played his last card, he roared, and his life’s Green Snake suddenly appeared, transforming into a Giant Python as thick as a water barrel, with a sweep of its tail.
It blasted the poison insects away.
