Chapter 983: Chapter 784: Great Harvest_2

Wang Zijia no longer hesitated and once again activated the order symbol, opening the passage to the previous level.

A light door appeared in front of everyone, and Wang Zijia still took the lead and walked in.

······

The group skillfully passed through the light door one after another, leaving the second layer and arriving at the third layer.

Compared with the previous layer, the third one was a bit darker, with only a slight fluorescence.

This time, it was a pure underground cavern, pitch-black all around, yet it did not affect everyone’s vision.

In the cavern, there were countless stalactite-like sharp pillars, both on the ceiling and on the ground.

But it wasn’t damp at all, quite dry actually.

The entire cave had only a small circular path like a rock platform around its perimeter, and the group was now standing on this ring-shaped platform.

Positioned halfway up the eastern and western sides, with stalactites forests both above and below.

The area wasn’t very wide; a few steps forward and there was a cliff, while the entire round cavern was enveloped by a light screen resembling a pillar.

It was like a peeling column, surrounding a large area of stalactite caverns, with a viewing deck of sorts all around.

It seemed that this time it was an energy shield meant for area sealing.

"Sss sss ssss!"

And as Wang Zijia and his companions appeared, the creatures in the stone forest within the energy screen seemed to have been startled.

The next moment, Wang Zijia and the others saw countless deformed, pitch-black spiders rushing out from the stalactite forest.

They were rising and falling within the lower stone forest, quickly climbing towards them.

"Squeak squeak!"

The spiders screeched at them, pausing briefly a few meters away.

Some leaped directly towards them while others raised their abdomens high, shooting milky white, glue-like silk threads at the group.

"Bang bang!"

Unfortunately, they all ended up hitting the energy screen, unable to make an inch of progress.

The group could also see these creatures up close, clearly.

Each pitch-black spider was the size of a water buffalo, its body covered in fierce, needle-like spikes, with black nodules on its surface, looking extremely terrifying.

"Squeak squeak!"

These spiders seemed to possess not the slightest bit of intelligence, only endless madness.

At the edge of the energy screen, they violently collided with the screen, emitting various screeches at the group.

"Thud thud!"

Before the spiders’ movements had ceased, the group felt the cavern shake slightly.

Subsequently, they saw a gigantic, strange spider emerge from the center of the stalactite forest and charge toward them.

The creature was dozens of feet tall, dwarfing several houses, and its spider legs, which were like giant columns, bent to a height that was level with the platform where everyone stood.

It charged like a behemoth towards the group.

In the eerie, multi-faceted eyes of the strange spider, it was unclear if they were dark with a hint of dark red or red tinged with black, filled with madness and ominousness.

Just like the smaller spiders, its body was pitch-black and covered in spikes.

The only difference was the giant abdomen, which, instead of being plump, was like a disturbing, misshapen flesh ball, resembling a skinless, oversized tumor!

Clearly, this creature was the main focus of the seal here, with the smaller spiders likely its offspring.

The mother spider also had the aura of a Nine Realms Profound Immortal, but the fact it could breed small spiders made it seem countless times more difficult to deal with than the Demon Dragon, likely the reason it was placed on the third layer.

"Bang bang!"

The massive mother spider thundered forward, its terrifying legs bearing down as it came, it’s huge form seemingly capable of piercing through and crushing the group at any step.

Regrettably, it was still repelled by the energy screen; although the screen fluctuated constantly and emitted a dull noise, there were no signs of it breaking.

It appeared that the seals within the tower used a method of extracting the target’s power to form the seal.

To a force experiencing the End of Dharma, this should be considered standard procedure.

With the power in the environment in continuous decline, it was unclear when the day would come that the environmental energy would deteriorate to an unusable level.

In such a situation, to maintain a long-lasting seal, the concept behind this sealing method seemed like it should be a required lesson for monks going through the progressive decline of the Dharma?

······

As the group watched the spiders’ frenzy, Zhang Junyong tentatively extended some mana, which easily penetrated right through.

But once the spiders sensed it, they wildly surged towards the mana.

Zhang Junyong immediately dispersed the mana, saying, "It seems to be a peculiar one-way seal, ensuring that those who come later can handle it in a way, yet without having to go through the perilous sealing shutdown operation!"

Qin Xianyu added, "I reckon it can’t be shut down anyway. Although extracting the target’s power to create the seal is clever, once the cycle is established, slightly breaking the inner cycle would probably break it straight away."

Just like with the Demon Dragon’s seal below, after the Demon Dragon was burnt to death, the runes and shackles in the molten rock all quietly disappeared into nothingness.

Li Xunbo glanced around and then looked at Wang Zijia, asking, "Fellow Daoist, shall you do it or shall I?"

"You go ahead. If there’s some kind of pollution that can’t be dealt with, I’ll take action. My current level of cultivation still hasn’t fully recovered, and dealing with these demons is a bit troublesome!" Wang Zijia said indifferently, as though it was not about letting a golden immortal be the errand boy.

Li Xunbo, upon hearing this, said nothing more, simply nodded, and sparks once again flickered from his hand.
