Su Jingzhen’s heart was heavy with anxiety. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.As the pink mist surged towards him, he knew he was in trouble.

The mist contained a thick, demonic aura, proof that it was emitted by the demonic beast in the dense forest.

The fact that the beast could use such a technique also proved that it was no ordinary creature.

The mist was spreading rapidly, and Su Jingzhen didn’t dare let it get close to him.

He kicked off from the giant tree beside him and leaped into the air.

In an instant, he landed on the treetop.

The pink mist was spreading throughout the forest, but it didn’t reach the treetops.

At the same time, the mist had already covered the spot where Su Jingzhen had been standing.

“What kind of demonic beast could use such a technique?”

Su Jingzhen stood on the treetop, looking down.

Below, the pink mist still obscured everything, with no sign of the beast.

However, his heart was racing with excitement.

“The stronger and stranger the demonic beast, the more delicious it might be.”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen felt that he might really become a gourmet in the cultivation world one day.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Just then, a cracking sound came from within the pink mist.

It was the sound of tree branches breaking.

Su Jingzhen caught a glimpse of several dark purple, arm-thick, and eerie limbs lurking in the mist.

“A spider?”

Su Jingzhen was shocked.

On the dark purple limbs, there were countless fine hairs.

They sparkled with a cold, icy light, like steel needles.

Just by looking at the spider’s legs, Su Jingzhen could tell that this creature’s body was enormous.

At least a zhang (about 3.3 meters) in length.

It seemed to be searching for Su Jingzhen’s location.

Su Jingzhen’s right hand, gripping the brick, was sweating slightly.

The sheer size of this giant spider was giving him a lot of pressure.

As he focused on the spider, a large white web suddenly shot out from the pink mist, heading straight for him.

“Damn it!”

Su Jingzhen’s expression changed drastically as he saw this.

It seemed that the spider had been tracking him all along, and his whereabouts had been under surveillance.

The web was the spider’s silk.

As the spider launched its attack, Su Jingzhen sensed the energy fluctuations, which were comparable to those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, or even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This was an absolute second-grade demonic beast.

Su Jingzhen stomped his right foot on the treetop, and the branch beneath him snapped.

He immediately jumped towards another tree.

In the next instant, the spot where he had been standing was covered in white spider silk.

Su Jingzhen saw that the silk was wrapped around the tree branch, emitting a hissing sound.

The branch was directly corroded and dissolved.

“This is so toxic?”

Su Jingzhen swallowed hard.

He felt a pang of regret.

Fighting this creature was too risky, and he might end up losing his life.

Su Jingzhen’s heart was filled with a sense of retreat.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to take any risks.

Being cautious and prudent might be the key to longevity.

However, as he thought this, another large white web came hurtling towards him.

This time, the range was even wider.

The spider’s web directly enveloped two nearby trees.

It seemed to be forcing Su Jingzhen to come down.

Su Jingzhen’s blood energy surged again, and he narrowly dodged the spider’s web attack, jumping to a distant treetop.

His desire to retreat grew stronger.

“Crack, crack!”

At this moment, a cracking sound came from the dense forest.

The towering trees around him began to fall, one by one.

It was clear that the giant spider was trying to force Su Jingzhen into the dense forest.

Su Jingzhen’s heart grew heavier, realizing that this creature’s intelligence was not inferior to that of humans.

Now, it seemed that retreating was no longer an option.

He gazed at the giant spider’s legs, which were still lurking in the mist.

His heart was racing with excitement.

Since it was difficult to retreat, he might as well try to fight back!

The Breaking Through Adversity Pill he had taken earlier was still effective.

He had only one type of pill left, but it might come in handy at a critical moment.

Just before the spider’s third web attack, Su Jingzhen made his move.

The spider wanted to force him into the pink mist, but that was impossible.

A gentleman wouldn’t stand under a precarious wall.

He didn’t know what the mist was, but fighting in it would be suicidal.

After briefly orienting himself, he jumped from treetop to treetop, heading towards the valley.

He was treating the spider as prey, and perhaps the spider had the same idea about him.

Most demonic beasts were known for their ferocity, and the spider might have become enraged after missing its previous attacks.

Indeed, as he fled towards the valley, the sound of breaking branches continued to echo behind him.

It was clear that the spider wouldn’t give up easily.

“Bring it on!”

Su Jingzhen’s speed was extremely fast as he traversed the treetops.

However, he didn’t feel any sense of relaxation, as the spider’s speed seemed to be keeping pace with his.

Moreover, there were occasional web attacks from behind.

“This is crazy! It’s like being chased by my master back in the day!”

Su Jingzhen’s heart was bitter with laughter.

But this time, he was much more at ease.

After all, this giant spider wasn’t Shen Yifeng, and their power levels were roughly equal.

He didn’t have any reason to be afraid.

Everything was going as he had predicted; once he left the previous range, the pink mist disappeared from the dense forest below.

However, Su Jingzhen didn’t choose to stop and fight on the spot.

Instead, he continued to head towards the valley.

He was clear that since the spider had been chasing him from the start, it wouldn’t stop until it reached its goal.

Moreover, the valley was only a few hundred meters ahead.

“Come on, big treasure! Follow me!”

Su Jingzhen’s heart was racing with excitement.

As he fled, he continuously cast small fireballs to provoke the spider.

As he approached the valley, the surrounding trees became sparse.

It was only then that he got a clear view of the spider’s entire body.

It was a dark purple giant spider, over a zhang in length.

Its eight legs stretched out, covering nearly two zhang.

This was indeed a massive creature.

On the spider’s back, there was a smooth, glossy surface.

The patterns on its back were pink, resembling a mysterious, naturally engraved inscription.

Su Jingzhen only took a glance before looking away.

He had already arrived at the valley’s edge.

Here, he finally relaxed completely.

Without any hesitation, he jumped down directly.

The valley was his chosen battlefield.

However, as he reached this point, the spider suddenly stopped.

There seemed to be a hint of fear in its bright red eyes
