Lanling immediately remembered that in the inn at the Southern Yi border city there had indeed been a handsome yet sinister man whose gaze towards Ye Jingyu had been filled with absolute possessiveness.
He had not expected that this man would also come to the Shadow Spider Queens cave and that he would survive the disaster and become a scourge.
That bastard Tuo Ba Ye had loudly declared that he was coming to hunt the Shadow Spider Queen yet he was nowhere to be seen.
Lanlings mind turned rapidly. He closed his eyes and tried to sense the situation inside.
There were about a dozen thieves inside. The sinister man leading them was at high level warrior cultivation while most of his gang were at intermediate warrior level. Otherwise they would not have dared to come to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Although Lanling was now at the level of a third level warrior archer any single evil thief inside could easily kill him let alone that high level warrior.
What should he do? How should he rescue Ye Jingyu? He could not win by force and could only win by intelligence.
Lanlings mind turned rapidly as he thought of how to rescue Ye Jingyu.
Sigh, it is a pity that the Shadow Spider Queens head was taken away by that woman. Otherwise we would have really struck it rich. That wretched voice sounded. It is worth more than one thousand gold coins. That would be enough for all of us to live luxuriously for several years.
Correct. The Shadow Spider Queens head was now in Lanlings hands and he could use this head to kill all the evil thieves inside at the same time.
Lanling suddenly thought that there was deadly poison inside the Shadow Spider Queens head and Mengtuoluo had even left a note to warn about it. So was there a way to make this deadly poison kill more than a dozen people at once?
Was there a method that could make this head suddenly explode and spray all the deadly poison inside everywhere?
Lanling carefully examined the Shadow Spider Queens head. It was completely a spiders head. Apart from an outer shell there seemed to be no skull inside.
Inside the head was all the Shadow Spider Queens brain matter. If nothing unexpected the poison should be in the brain matter.
He gently shook it in his hand. There was a lot of brain matter almost filling the entire head.
Lanling began to think hard about what method could make this spider queen head explode so that the deadly poisonous brain matter inside would spray everywhere.
Immediately after Lanlings eyes suddenly lit up.
He had a way. Limestone reacts with water and the temperature rises instantly causing it to boil directly.
This head was a sealed space. Once the brain matter inside boiled it could explode directly.
Correct. He would use this method.
Lanling quietly left the entrance of the Shadow Spider Queens cave and began searching for limestone in the mountains.
In the Ten Thousand Mountains what was not lacking was stones and of course limestone was not lacking either. Soon Lanling saw a large pile of limestone.
He dug out several pieces of limestone that had not been dampened and threw one into a ditch. Immediately the limestone began to react violently releasing heat and then starting to crumble.
Correct. This was limestone of extremely high quality.
Lanling smashed the large pieces of limestone into countless granules and put them into a container.
Then he took out his dagger and carefully made a small hole in the Shadow Spider Queens head.
The outer shell of the spider queen head was more brittle than Lanling had imagined. With the blood gilded black gold dagger he could easily dig out a hole. After all it was a mental type demonic creature so its shell was not impervious to blades and spears.
However after the black gold dagger dug into the spider queen head it stuck to the brain matter inside. Immediately a foul stench came out and when he pulled it back the dagger had been corroded and rotted by more than an inch.
This… just how deadly is the brain matter of the Shadow Spider Queen? Lanling clicked his tongue in astonishment.
After digging the hole he poured water into the head almost completely filling the space inside. Then he carefully placed the spider queen head into the bag and fixed it securely making sure the water inside did not spill out.
After completing all preparations Lanling took a deep breath and walked towards the Shadow Spider Queens cave once more.
…
At this time inside the Shadow Spider Queens cave it had reached the final moment. The man sent by the sinister man to buy Meridian Severing Soul Water had returned and the sinister man was now forcing Ye Jingyu to drink it.
Little beauty if you do not want to die then obediently drink it for me. The sinister man sneered. Do not force me to act. It would be too much of a pity if your flower like face and moon like appearance were ruined.
Ye Jingyu kept her mouth tightly shut and struggled desperately trying to break free from the spider silk binding her body.
But this was undoubtedly impossible. This Shadow Spider Queen had cultivated for several hundred years after all. The spider silk binding her probably numbered in the thousands. Even ten thousand jin of strength could not break free.
The sinister man pressed the cup of Meridian Severing Soul Water against Ye Jingyus lips trying desperately to force it down.
Ye Jingyu clenched her teeth tightly. Her gaze seemed ready to spit fire.
Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. The sinister man said coldly. Then he directly took out a dagger forcefully stabbed it between Ye Jingyus teeth pried open her small mouth and prepared to pour the Meridian Severing Soul Water into her mouth.
Once she drank this Meridian Severing Soul Water all the meridians in Ye Jingyus body would be destroyed and her entire cultivation would be completely wasted. Then her beauty and hot figure would completely become the plaything of the beast before her.
Lanling who saw this scene from outside almost exploded with rage.
Who was Ye Jingyu? Apart from his sister Suo Ningbing she was the person closest to him and could completely be considered his family.
These people deserved to die ten thousand times. They deserved to die ten thousand times!
Lanling took a deep breath and shouted from outside, Everyone inside, do you not want the Shadow Spider Queens head? You should know that it is worth more than one thousand gold coins.
As soon as these words came out the thieves inside the cave were stunned. They had not expected that there would be other people.
Immediately after their eyes almost spat fire because they had heard about the Shadow Spider Queens head and more than one thousand gold coins.
As for Ye Jingyu she almost went mad and cried out in alarm, You fool, why did you come back? Run, run quickly…
Boss, it is that pretty boy, that pretty boy who luckily killed the Shadow Spider Queen. The wretched man said.
The sinister mans expression changed as he recalled Lanling. His first thought was whether that incomparably beautiful and powerful woman Ah Luo had come.
Rest assured that demoness Ah Luo did not come. I finally escaped from her demonic claws. Lanling said. Do you know who she is?
As soon as these words came out they immediately drew the attention of several men present.
Who was that fairy like woman? Was she not a female cultivator from the Holy Dragon Temple?
Lanling said, She is the black widow that everyone fears, Mengtuoluo.
As soon as these words came out everyones hair stood on end. The thieves who were doing dirty and ugly things almost instantly went limp.
The black widow? The nightmare like black widow. Any man who saw her would definitely die.
She had thousands of faces yet no one who saw her could survive.
But this made sense. No wonder that woman called Ah Luo was so devastatingly beautiful. If she was a saintess of the Holy Dragon Temple it was understandable that after killing the Shadow Spider Queen she would leave without caring about anything else.
Everyone who has seen the black widow must die. Why are you still alive? The sinister man said.
Simple. Because I am handsome and I can paint and play the piano. Then I slept with her when she was easy to conceive. Lanling said. Ordinary women usually cannot bear to kill the future father of their child right? Even though she may not really be pregnant.
The sinister man looked towards Lanling outside and immediately showed jealous eyes. This pretty boy was really fucking handsome, even prettier than a woman.
The sinister man said, Since that is the case why did you not stay in the Viper Tribe and enjoy your beauty? What are you doing here?
Because I still have another beauty inside here. Lanling said. So while Mengtuoluo is not around I secretly ran out to rescue my other beauty, which is Ye Jingyu whom you are forcing to drink the Meridian Severing Soul Water.
The sinister man said, What do you want?
Lanling said, Let us make a deal. I will exchange the Shadow Spider Queens head for my woman. How about it?
As soon as these words came out the sinister man immediately laughed loudly and said, Your martial arts are so poor. I can completely kill you and then snatch the Shadow Spider Queens head.
You should know that anyone who offends the black widow will have their entire family die miserably no matter where they hide. Lanling said. Look, this is the Viper Tribe mask she gave me. It is made of gold and represents my high status in the Viper Tribe. If you kill me none of you present will survive and your families will also be wiped out.
As soon as these words came out everyones expression changed completely.
The people the black widow wanted to kill indeed had no one who could escape even if they ran to the Eastern Li Kingdom or the Northern Wind Kingdom.
Lanling continued, Moreover this Shadow Spider Queens head is very brittle. If I smash it on the ground it will be completely crushed and you will get nothing.
Then Lanling raised the bag high making a gesture as if he was about to smash it at any moment.
The sinister man immediately said, You say you have the Shadow Spider Queens head. Why should I believe you?
Lanling directly opened the bag revealing the huge head inside. Correct, this was indeed the Shadow Spider Queens head and it could not be faked.
Lanling continued, Correct. Ye Jingyu is very beautiful. But this Shadow Spider Queens head in my hand is worth more than one thousand gold coins. This sum of money is equivalent to you hunting five thousand barbarians. It should be enough for your team to earn for several years right?
More than one thousand gold coins was truly an astronomical figure for these wild warriors.
Each of them could get more than one hundred gold coins. This money could buy a hundred mu of good farmland plus a manor and more than ten servants.
It was not even an exaggeration to say that after getting this money they could directly retire and enjoy life.
Immediately the others in the gang looked towards their leader with eager light in their eyes.
Indeed beautiful women were rare but gold coins were eternal. With gold coins one had everything and any kind of beauty could be obtained.
The sinister man said, Good. I agree to the deal. You hand over the Shadow Spider Queens head and I will release the person.
Lanling said, Do you think I am a fool? There are so many of you and everyones martial arts exceed mine by ten times. You release the person first then I will hand over the Shadow Spider Queens head.
The sinister man thought for a while and nodded. To him both ways of trading were the same. As long as he got the Shadow Spider Queens head the pretty boy and the beauty could not escape at all. As soon as the spider queen head was in hand he would immediately turn hostile, capture the two of them, sleep with the woman and dismember the man to eat his flesh.
Thus the sinister man drew his black gold dagger and fiercely cut all the spider silk on Ye Jingyus body.
Pa… Ye Jingyu fell directly and landed on the ground. She had been bound for too long and her body had almost lost all sensation. It took quite a while before she recovered.
After climbing up she stared coldly at the sinister man for a while then quickened her steps and walked towards Lanling.
Throughout the entire process the sinister man and his gang did not obstruct her and allowed Ye Jingyu to walk to Lanlings side.
All right. Throw over the Shadow Spider Queens head. You know you cannot play any tricks or you will definitely die. The sinister man said.
Under the cover of the large bag Lanling poured all the more than one jin of quicklime granules into the Shadow Spider Queens head.
Catch. Then Lanling fiercely threw the spider queen head towards the sinister man.
