Chapter 389: Chapter 0389: Fire Burns the Cave of Silver Web

Long Fei and the three others huddled together, truly feeling like there was no way to heaven and no door into the earth.

Fat Wang held his gun in one hand, his legs trembling as he said, "Brother-in-law, what do we do now?"

Li Zhenni felt disgusted, "I’d rather kill myself than be eaten by these bugs!"

She wasn’t afraid of tigers or lions, but these bugs terrified her.

And they were such large bugs at that!

Lu Buping, holding his soft sword, shouted, "Master, I’ll hold them off, you all run outside immediately!"

In Long Fei’s hand was the Fire Thunder Talisman. He said calmly, "They’re just a few bugs, no need to make such a fuss!"

The spiders let out a wailing sound and launched an attack in a flash.

Fat Wang and Li Zhenni were the first to shoot, with their bullets spraying in bursts, flipping over the two foremost spiders.

He was so panicked he almost cried out, "Brother-in-law, at a time like this, can you stop bluffing?"

Pop pop pop, the pistol’s eight bullets were quickly spent, only taking down four spiders.

Their marksmanship had all been specially trained at a training base.

Although Fat Wang hadn’t been going for long, he was still quite talented in this respect.

The skill he had at popping balloons as a child now came in handy.

Just as they were about to reload, swish swish, two strands of spider silk wrapped around their wrists.

The spiders above them launched a sneak attack, catching and pulling them upward.

Lu Buping’s longsword flashed, cutting the silk in two, but there were too many spiders. They spat out more webs, entangling Lu Buping’s hands as well.

The three of them were hoisted up by the spiders above, seemingly about to be torn apart by the surrounding spiders.

At this moment, Long Fei held a talisman, clutching the Jade Arhat, and suddenly bellowed, "Fire, Thunder, come!"

Those three words, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, made everyone’s ears ring painfully.

A bright light suddenly rose from all around them, the scorching temperature making Fat Wang and the others hold their breath.

The thunder raged, and golden light flashed in all directions.

Containing fiery Fire Elemental Force, it entirely swept through the grand hall, turning about twenty or thirty surrounding spiders to ash in an instant.

The room sealed by spider webs rapidly heated up, and with a loud bang, the doors and windows were blasted outward into smithereens.

Above them, the webs caught fire, turning the ceiling of the grand hall into a sea of flames.

The spider silk on the three of them also turned to ash. The burning heat was so intense that they all cried out and frantically patted down their bodies.

"Quick, get out!"

Long Fei bellowed.

Without a second word, they each bolted outside, sprinting away.

Long Fei sliced a fleeing spider above him in half with a slash, just about to follow them out.

Suddenly, from above came a high-pitched scream for help.

"Damn it!"

Looking up, Long Fei’s eyes landed on a pair of long white legs.

Who else could it be but Zhang Xuan’er?

Wrapped in the web like a glutinous rice dumpling, she was about to be engulfed by the raging fire.

Long Fei stepped off the ground, soaring into the air.

At the height of about ten meters, his right foot suddenly stepped on the void.

Executing a legendary Wudang Ladder Cloud Leap, he used it to leap an additional ten meters upward, tearing open the spider silk on Zhang Xuan’er with his sword.

Now, his maximum leap was about ten or more meters; reaching twenty meters required him to draw on spiritual power in midair and hook the Water Elemental Force.

Only then could he reach up and grab the edge of the web.

Zhang Xuan’er’s body was revealed, clinging tightly to him, screaming at the top of her lungs like she had gone mad.

Long Fei took a closer look and saw several other figures nearby.

One of them was half-eaten, their body a bloody mess.

He was uncertain if these people were alive or dead and had no time to rescue them.

In the end, he only carried Zhang Xuan’er to the ground and dashed out the door.

Boom!

Flames surged out of the great hall, spewing thick black smoke into the sky that once again blasted the doors and windows to shreds.

Zhang Xuan’er cried out in despair, "Hong Qi! Uncle Hong Qi is still inside!"

Long Fei helped her tear away the remaining spider webs from her body, but seeing the fire engulfed everything, there was no way to enter.

Fat Wang and two others gathered around, their faces filled with astonishment, not expecting him to emerge carrying a girl.

"Zhang Xuan’er?"

"Those legs really are long!"

Li Zhenni and Fat Wang couldn’t help but exclaim together.

Then there was a loud crash as the beams and tiles on the top of the great hall were suddenly smashed open.

A figure emerged from above, wrapped in scorched spider webs, cursing loudly, "Who set the fire, trying to burn me to death?"

His white beard was singed black by the flames and his body was charred and tattered, looking as wretched as one could be.

Fat Wang and the others looked at Long Fei, who just shrugged his shoulders, indicating that this old man was still as irritating as ever.

However, he did seem to have some skills.

He managed to leap out even amidst the raging flames.

Clearly, he must already be a Practitioner.

"They’re dead, they’re all dead!"

Zhang Xuan’er wiped her nose and suddenly collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

Long Fei understood; anyone would break down in such a situation.

On this damned island, with wolves, bears, and spiders galore, anyone would be overwhelmed.

The sky darkened, and the group, having calmed their emotions, found an open space to start a bonfire.

This place was very strange, clearly not the full moon, yet the moonlight wasn’t so bright.

But the whole dojo was as bright as day, as if all the moonlight around was being pulled here.

Long Fei admired the terrain and murmured his appreciation, convinced that a Light Gathering Formation was in use.

The substances in the moonlight, beneficial for the body to absorb, were extremely advantageous for cultivation.

Zhang Xuan’er devoured her canned beef. Trapped by the spiders above for a day, she was nearly scared to death and almost starved as well.

She stared at Long Fei with big curious eyes, "How did you know I was here?"

The last time they parted ways, she didn’t seem to tell Long Fei about this, secretly thinking Long Fei must have snooped on her materials.

Long Fei introduced Li Zhenni to her, explaining, "This is purely coincidental; we’re also here seeking the Blood Spirit Flower."

Old man Hong Qi, stubborn as he was, refused to eat Long Fei’s food, catching a rabbit in the dojo to roast instead.

He looked at Long Fei and said coldly, "First come, first served, the Blood Spirit Flower is ours. Anyone who tries to compete with us for it, I’ll be the first to not let them off!"

Fat Wang complained, "Hey, don’t you feel ashamed saying that? If it weren’t for my brother-in-law, the spiders would have eaten you all!"

The old man’s face turned red, and he grumbled resentfully, "Nonsense. I was about to get out when you lot set the fire and nearly roasted me alive in there."

Li Zhenni and the others looked down on him, thinking to themselves that this old man really was stubborn as a mule, still playing tough at his age!

Long Fei didn’t argue with him and asked Zhang Xuan’er, "How did you know there was a Blood Spirit Flower here?"

Zhang Xuan’er swallowed what was in her mouth and took a drink from her water bottle, none of her earlier elegance present.

She told everyone about how a merchant had sold the information, and Long Fei frowned upon hearing it.

He analyzed, "So, someone has already been here and obtained the petals of the Blood Spirit Flower?"

"Yes, definitely, or how else would they have the petals in hand!"

Zhang Xuan’er nodded and handed the sample petal from her pocket to Long Fei.

Long Fei took the petal and looked it over, searching his mind for clues about it.

After all, Gongsun Sheng had installed a comprehensive encyclopedia of traditional Chinese herbs in his brain.

He was puzzled, "If this person could obtain the petal, then why didn’t they simply harvest the whole Blood Spirit Flower to sell to you?"

Zhang Xuan’er stared at him, taken aback, a question she indeed hadn’t considered.
