?After knocking her out, Lin Fan just put her in one of the nearby trees with Igneel watching over her.
With Igneel’s strength, there shouldn’t be anything that could threaten him in this place.
So it shouldn’t be a problem to leave them be while he sorted out what was inside of the Blood Cave.
Since Lin Li Zi was taken care of, Lin Fan went over to stand in front of the cave.
He couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows since he felt that the aura coming from the cave wasn’t normal.
It was as if there was some kind of strange spirit beast that had made its nest inside of this cave.
It was like the feeling that he felt when he had first met Igneel.
Still, this was something that he had to do, so he wouldn’t back down now.
Not to mention, since Lin Li Zi was now knocked out, it meant that he didn’t have to restrain himself anymore.
So there were two things that appeared on his hand before he started dropping things on the ground.
Once they had finished dropping on the ground, he waited for a response from the two creatures that he was holding in his hands.
They were respectively Greeny and the Control Toad.
The things that he had dropped on the ground were the puppets of Greeny and the Control Toad that he had stored.
They went into the cave ahead of him to scout things out for him and now he was just waiting for a report from Greeny and the Control Toad.
But before they could give a report, there was movement that came from inside of the cave.
Lin Fan was surprised to find that there were some Blood Spiders that had come out of the cave to face him.
These Blood Spiders came out without any hesitation, as if they already knew who they were targeting.
For them to come out with such determination, it was clear that they had sensed something.
But how?
Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out at first until he saw something.
It was because the Blood Spiders coming out had shifted it, but he saw that there were webs that covered the floor and walls of the cave.
These were spiders, so it was only natural they would cover their nest with webs like this to protect themselves.
Even if the puppets that Greeny and the Control Toad sent in were small, they would still cause shifts in the webs and alert the Blood Spiders.
Right now, it was very likely that those puppets had already been caught and taken down by the Blood Spiders. After all, these were small puppets that didn’t have any combat abilities.
The only things that these smaller puppets could do was sneak into places that normal puppets wouldn’t be able to, finding information that normal puppets couldn’t.
So that was why he had sent them first.
Lin Fan had hoped not to alert the enemy, but it seemed like this had backfired on him.
It seemed like he hadn’t understood the Blood Spiders well enough to know that they would do something like this.
But that didn’t mean that he was scared of these Blood Spiders.
When Lin Fan saw these Blood Spiders rushing at him, he just faced them with a calm look on his face.
That was because he could sense what level of cultivation they had.
These were spirit beasts that were only in the Qi Gathering Realm.
They were not a problem for him to deal with at all.
He could even take care of them with a simple flip of the hand.
However, he didn’t plan on lifting a finger.
Instead, he called out a few of his pets.
It had been a long time since he had summoned these pets out since he hadn’t been able to during this time.
There were too many eyes that had been on him after everything that happened with the Mu Empire, so he had been keeping his core abilities a secret while showing off a few of the things that he could do.
That included his beast taming abilities.
But now that he was able to move more freely, it was time to call them out.
Unlike Igneel who seemed disappointed to be called out, these ones were much more excited about being let out.
Hayase was the one who spoke for everyone by saying, “Why did you keep us locked in that place for so long? It’s been a long time since we’ve been out.”
Lin fan revealed a bitter smile as he said, “Well, it’s been a tough period of time and I couldn’t summon you for a bit. But now it should be fine.”
Hayase wanted to say something else, but the others just rushed over for me to pet them.
So in the end, he could only float there with a bitter look on his face as if he had been betrayed.
In a sense, he had been betrayed since they had already agreed on putting on a strong stance after being let out of the Pet Storage Space after such a long time. But they had all abandoned him to get pets from Lin Fan as soon as they saw him.
Hayase was the only one that was left out because of this.
Lin Fan saw this and waved Hayase over with a smile on his face.
Hayase took some convincing, but he still came over in the end and received the same treatment as everyone else.
Even though there were still the Blood Spiders that were running towards them.
It didn’t seem like they cared about the oncoming Blood Spiders at all.
It was as if they didn’t even see those Blood Spiders as a threat.
But the Blood Spiders were still coming.
After taking some time to catch up and seeing that the Blood Spiders were coming closer, Lin Fan stopped petting his pets and turned his attention back to the Blood Spiders.
It was the same for the pets, they all turned their gaze to the pets.
However, not a single one of them had a look of worry on their faces.
All of them looked excited about the chance to use their new abilities.
Even if it was before, these pets would have been able to easily defeat these Blood Spiders since they had all reached the Peak Qi Gathering Realm. But now that they broke through to the Foundation Realm, it should be even easier for them to defeat these Blood Spiders.
But it seemed like they were waiting for some kind of signal.
Lin Fan saw this and said with a nod, “Go wild.”
As soon as they received this order from Lin Fan, the pets no longer held themselves back as they charged out at the oncoming Blood Spiders.
Though they were all excited about fighting these Blood Spiders, it seemed that they were cooperating to a certain extent.
They spread out evenly so that they wouldn’t get in each other’s ways.
The one that went the fastest was naturally Hayase.
From the beginning, Hayase had always been Lin Fan’s strongest pet.
Even now, he was much stronger than the rest.
The rest had only just reached the Foundation Realm, but Hayase was already in the Mid Foundation Realm and it seemed like he was just a step away from the High Foundation Realm.
So he was much faster than the others.
As he reached the Blood Spiders, he summoned icicles around him and sent them out to pierce the Blood Spiders. The Blood Spiders weren’t able to resist at all as his icicles pierced right through them.
After they pierced through, there were holes left in these Blood Spiders as they collapsed onto the ground.
After that attack, the other Blood Spiders suddenly stopped as if they had realized something.
It was as if they realized just how strong the enemy was with how they were looking at Hayase.
This just gave the other pets an opportunity to attack these Blood Spiders.
They weren’t able to resist at all under the wave of different attacks from the different pets.
During all of this, Hayase seemed to stop attacking and turned around to start cheering.
“Shiro is the best! You’re the strongest!”
He was cheering for the Snow Rabbit that had also joined in the fight.
As he cheered, the Snow Rabbit just looked at him like he was an idiot.
It seemed that even though he tried his best, it didn’t seem like she was interested in him. The sourc of ths content s novel(ꜰ)ir(e).nt
Seeing the dynamic between the two of them, the other pets couldn’t help shaking their heads since they were already used to seeing this. This was the norm in the Pet Storage Space and even now, it still hasn’t changed.
But as Hayase turned around to cheer for Shiro, some of the Blood Spiders suddenly did something different.
Instead of charging to attack, they gathered this strange red liquid in the air and then fired them out as red spikes.
Hayase wasn’t weak and he didn’t let his guard down even though he was cheering for Shiro, so when he felt the red spikes coming at him, he immediately turned around and created icicles in the air to shoot them down.
There were more icicles than red spikes, so the Blood Spiders that had shot these red spikes were in danger.
That was until Lin Fan suddenly said, “Wait, don’t kill it!”
Hayase was barely able to stop the icicles in time, but he couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a confused and aggrieved look.
Lin Fan just ignored this and looked carefully at the Blood Spider before saying, “Isn’t this a mutated version of the Blood Spider?”
