Chapter 2744: Chapter 2764: Swarming Out, Disaster Strikes!

All the spiders fled towards the boundaries of the Underground World, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into one cave entrance after another.

Hiding in the caves, they revealed pairs of eyes, staring at Sky Lin Chen with a cold and bloodthirsty gaze.

Although intimidated by the Star-Space Magic Serpent, they, as the masters of this place, were not willing to back down just yet.

They watched coldly, searching for an opportunity to attack.

"Hiss!"

The Star-Space Magic Serpent, sensing the hostility from the group of spiders, let out another low growl as mighty as a tiger’s roar through the mountains and forests, declaring its dominance.

A terrifying coercion emanated from the body of the Star-Space Magic Serpent, sweeping across the entire Underground World like a tidal wave.

The spiders, which had previously appeared unwilling to concede, now showed fearful expressions in their eyes and all retreated back into their caves, not daring to show themselves again.

Only then did Lin Chen heave a sigh of relief. Being watched by so many powerful Magical Beast Spiders made him very nervous—after all, with a slight lapse in attention, his strength could easily lead him to be surrounded and instantly killed by the numerous spiders.

With the spiders hidden away, Lin Chen did not let his guard down. He released several avatars to collect Starry Sky Magic Crystals in the Underground World, while he himself remained floating at the entrance of the Underground World, ready to flee at any moment.

Soon, all the Starry Sky Magic Crystals in the entire Underground World were collected and handed over to Lin Chen, and he had also thoroughly understood the situation of the entire Underground World.

This place indeed seemed to have been occupied by a Starry Sky Demon Beast for a long time, filling the cave with a thick Demonic Qi that formed a large quantity of Starry Sky Magic Crystals. Afterward, it left, and a group of Demonic Beast Spiders entered the Underground World. Under the influence of the Demonic Qi, they eventually turned into Magical Beasts and took over this part of the underground realm.

Apart from this large pile of Starry Sky Magic Crystals, there was nothing else of value in the entire underground cave.

Lin Chen looked at the Underground World, his expression slightly conflicted.

Should I bother with points or not?

Lin Chen hesitated for a few seconds but eventually decided to give up.

The scene here was too shocking, and it would be difficult for him to explain how he managed it, not to mention the large amount of Starry Sky Magic Crystals that had disappeared.

Although according to the contract rules, before Gathering Immortal Island sets a clear task target, all the loot belongs to the explorer, who knows if the other party would turn hostile?

The value of such a quantity of Starry Sky Magic Crystals was incredibly high. Silently killing a loose cultivator with no background could secure so many Starry Sky Magic Crystals. In such a situation, would they still abide by principles?

Lin Chen did not dare to gamble!

Moreover, if his identity were exposed because of these points, he feared that leaving Gathering Immortal Island would truly become impossible.

Safety first in all things!

He had already acquired so many Starry Sky Magic Crystals and had made a fortune, so it was better not to complicate matters further.

Without the high-value item of the Starry Sky Magic Crystals, even if he exposed the mystery of the Black Demon Cave, he would at most get the guaranteed hundred points, which still carried the risk of exposure—not worth it!

Retreat!

Lin Chen, accompanied by the Star-Space Magic Serpent, retreated towards the passage as the Magical Beast Spiders, suppressed by the Star-Space Magic Serpent, crawled out from the caves, their eyes filled with a savage look as they climbed towards the passage above, scaling the cave walls to the outside!

Lin Chen quickly exited the Black Demon Cave, returning under the sunshine, and he finally relaxed.

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, he suddenly had a premonition and cast his gaze towards the entrance of the Black Demon Cave.

One after another, powerful breaths rose up, getting closer and closer!

Lin Chen’s face changed dramatically, and his body quickly entered the Linglong Tower. The Linglong Tower shot out like lightning, immediately distancing itself from the cave entrance, then appeared above the abyss.

One by one, huge black spiders emerged from the cave, resembling a wave of black water, inducing an immense sense of fear.

"Why have they come out!"

Lin Chen looked at the image in the Water Mirror, utterly shocked.

Previously, the people from Gathering Immortal Island discovered the Black Demon Cave, and after their exploration failed, they had been monitoring it for a long time, yet they discovered nothing.

These Magical Beast Spiders must have always been there, but they had always been living in the Underground World and had not come out. So why had they suddenly changed their behavior and come out now?

Was it because the Star-Space Magic Serpent had stimulated them?

Or was it because I had dug out all the Starry Sky Magic Crystals, and the Demonic Qi of the entire Underground World had been nearly absorbed by the Star-Space Magic Serpent, thus their usual living environment had been destroyed and altered by me, so they no longer wanted to stay and chose to emerge?

The strength of these Demon Spiders was comparable to a Daluo Initial Immortal, and the powerful ones could even be compared with Superior Prime Daluo Immortals. With such a large number, moreover a group operation, they might cause significant trouble for the people on Gathering Immortal Island!

The Demon Spiders, like a black tide, kept pouring out from the entrance of the Black Demon Cave, their numbers making Lin Chen’s scalp tingle incessantly.

Too many!

So many Demon Spiders, wherever they went, would destroy everything!

Time to slip away, slip away!

Although Lin Chen was shocked, he was not afraid because he had already experienced it; these Demon Spiders, although super powerful, were afraid of the Star-Space Magic Serpent!

With the Star-Space Magic Serpent present, even if surrounded by these tide-like Demon Spiders, Lin Chen could easily break through the encirclement!

Lin Chen waited for a while, and finally, all the spiders from the Underground World had emerged, a dark and dense mass of them.

The largest black Demon Spider floated in mid-air, emitting hissing sounds, as if giving orders. Quickly, all the Demon Spiders took flight, following the gigantic mountain-like black Demon Spider, moving toward the distance.

Lin Chen watched the direction the swarm of Demon Spiders was moving in, his eyes suddenly widening.

The South!

The swarm of Demon Spiders was actually heading toward the South!

The current base of Gathering Immortal Island was located to the South of this place!

Lin Chen’s scalp tingled as if it were electrified, instantly feeling a numb sensation.

Were the Demon Spiders heading toward the South by chance, or did they know something? Was this a purposeful march?

No matter what, it was time to hurry back!

Lin Chen took detours and sprinted, as fast as lightning, and finally made it back to the Gathering Immortal Island base.

Should I warn everyone?

If I were to warn them, how would I explain myself?

As Lin Chen pondered, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Lin Chen opened the door and saw Lan Qiangwei standing at the entrance, smiling, "Fairy Lan, what’s the matter?"

Lan Qiangwei spoke softly, "Didn’t you go to explore the Black Demon Cave before? I saw you return just now and came over to ask, did you find anything?"

Lin Chen looked around and made way, "Fairy Lan, please come in!"

Lan Qiangwei did not demur and straightforwardly entered the room.

Lin Chen closed the door behind her and invited Lan Qiangwei to sit down before he began, "There’s something I am troubled with, and it’s good that Fairy Lan has come. I wonder if you’d be willing to assist?"

Lan Qiangwei smiled slightly, "What is it? Tell me about it first."

Lin Chen stared into Lan Qiangwei’s gemstone-like eyes and spoke softly, "The Gathering Immortal Island base might soon face a disaster..."
