Chapter 99: Chapter 82: Spider-faced Man’s Lair, Over 10,000 Experience Points

Even though the youth spoke, the Ancient Evil Ghost continued to hack at the corpse by its feet. Looking closely, the corpse it was hacking was actually that of a Foundation Establishment Evil Object.

Seeing that the Ancient Evil Ghost completely ignored him, the youth sighed helplessly. He raised his hand. Suddenly, a pair of red lips grew on the palm of his right hand. When the red lips parted, a terrifying suction force erupted from within, directly swallowing the Ancient Evil Ghost that was still "playing."

Having finished this, the youth looked up toward the West City District of Jade Mountain City.

He thought to himself, "To have me test into the Four Great Dao Schools... I really don’t know what the Vice Sect Leader is thinking. A place like the Four Great Dao Schools is an important stronghold of the Immortal Alliance. It’s filled with old monsters who haven’t come out of the mountains in years. Isn’t the Vice Sect Leader just sending a sheep into the tiger’s den? If I make even a single mistake, death would be a mercy. I’m just afraid I’ll be subjected to a fate worse than death..."

Although his heart was full of complaints about the Vice Sect Leader, he knew he had no right to refuse. Testing into the Four Great Dao Schools only meant he *might* face a fate worse than death. But if he refused the Vice Sect Leader’s orders, he would *definitely* suffer a fate worse than death.

It went without saying which choice he had to make.

If he had known that joining the Black Lotus Sect would result in being assigned such a dangerous mission, he absolutely wouldn’t have joined, even if it killed him. Right now, he was in too deep to back out.

"Sigh... I just have to perform well," he thought. "After all, as long as I can get directly admitted into the Four Great Dao Schools, my mission will be mostly complete, and I’ll have more time to do my own things."

With this thought in mind, the youth walked toward the western side of Jade Mountain City.

To be directly admitted into a Daoist School, Shen Feiyang had to show that he was worth admitting during this exam. Although he had already slain a Foundation Establishment Evil Object, he had done so using Exorcism. He was worried that the Four Great Dao Schools might consider it a cheap trick and deny him the qualification. Therefore, if he wanted to secure his spot with absolute certainty, he had to reveal a bit more talent.

For example... his Talisman Talent, aside from his Talent Divine Technique, the Soul Detention Order. Only then could he ensure that the investigators would favor him and grant him direct admission to the Four Great Dao Schools.

In the ruins of Jade Mountain City, West City District.

Because three Foundation Establishment Evil Objects had died unnatural deaths consecutively within three days, the remaining Foundation Establishment Evil Objects all returned to the area beneath the mysterious, giant black tree.

Seeing that only five Foundation Establishment Evil Objects had returned, the ant-like Foundation Establishment Evil Object on the tree canopy said in dissatisfaction, "Where is the White-faced Spider? Why hasn’t she returned? Didn’t I say that a few strong individuals have emerged among the Human Race recently, and that everyone had better be careful and not act alone?"

[Name: Gold-devouring Ant-man (Royal Family)]

[Race: Nine Nether]

[Power: Foundation Establishment Fifth Level]

[Features: A special humanoid creature evolved from the Black-striped Ant, containing a portion of the Nine Nether Royal Family bloodline. Exceptional Fist Technique talent, extremely dangerous.]

Hearing this, the Giant Force Horned Insect, who had previously been with the White-faced Spider, scratched the back of its head and said doubtfully, "The White-faced Spider came back with me, but she suddenly said that her children seemed to have found a handsome little guy, so she went out alone again.

"You know how she is. She’s never had any resistance against beautiful creatures. She’s probably had enough fun and should be back soon, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Gold-devouring Ant-man’s expression instantly darkened. But just as he was about to say something, he suddenly paused.

He stood up, his face grim as he looked toward a certain direction in the ruins of Jade Mountain City. "You all felt that, right?"

The surrounding Evil Objects nodded one after another, looking in the direction of the Gold-devouring Ant-man’s gaze with equally grave expressions. Because just a moment ago, they sensed that the aura belonging to the White-faced Spider... had vanished.

This meant that the other party had either left the Black Rock Tribe to join another Nine Nether Tribe, or she was dead. However, they were currently in a brand new macro world, and no other Nine Nether Tribes had descended here yet. Therefore, the disappearance of the White-faced Spider’s aura only meant one thing... she had just died.

Thinking of this, the Gold-devouring Ant-man couldn’t help but curse the idiot. He had told her to come back and stay put, to let their subordinates go out and explore so that if they found a strong enemy, the few of them could swarm them together. Now look what happened! She just had to go out alone.

And as a result... it was a trip with no return.

Ten minutes ago, at a subway station in the West City District.

[You killed a Nine Nether Parasitic Spider (Unranked), gaining 0.5 Experience Points...]

[You slew a Nine Nether Spider-faced Man (Qi Cultivation Fourth Level), gaining 40 Experience Points...]

Lu Chen looked at the dense cluster of spider cocoons in front of him, feeling quite pleased. He felt like he had discovered an absolutely perfect Holy Land for farming monsters. If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the lair of the Spider-faced Man Evil Objects he had encountered when he first entered the examination grounds.

It was also upon arriving here that he finally figured out the origin of the Spider-faced Man Evil Objects. It turned out that the so-called Spider-faced Men were actually a brand-new species born after Parasitic Spiders parasitized human bodies.

And in this current lair, he saw at least tens of thousands of Parasitic Spiders, as well as a large number of Spider-faced Men. If he could slaughter all these guys, he would reap an enormously huge amount of Experience Points.

How large exactly would this sum of Experience Points be?

Lu Chen conservatively estimated... it would be at least in the tens of thousands. Faced with such a massive temptation, how could Lu Chen possibly miss out on it?

Looking at the Parasitic Spiders and hordes of Spider-faced Men that had been alerted by his presence and were now surging toward him like a tide, Lu Chen gave a rare smile.

The last time he had smiled so happily was when the Jade-faced Saber Mantis had spared no effort to deliver itself to his doorstep. Once he dealt with these guys, he might be able to upgrade his Dragon Roar Sword Technique to the Dao Entry Level.

At the thought of this, Lu Chen’s smile grew even wider.
