Going up step by step, Ban Ci's movements were very slow, and it often took a long time before the next step took place after she stepped onto a step. Wherever she passed, the hazy mist disappeared.
Lu Ye became more and more certain that the mist was the source that could help the monks refine their spiritual power.
He raised his head and looked at the top step, looking at the strange stone tripod.
The mist is the source of the assistant monks' spiritual power, and the source of the mist is this stone tripod. In other words, the stone tripod is the treasure.
If I could take the stone cauldron out, wouldn't I be able to temper my spiritual power anytime and anywhere? If I have any relatives or friends who want to be promoted to Yueyao in the future, they won't have to bother buying those precious elixirs.
However, Lu Ye just thought about this idea. Ban Ci had known about this place for a long time, but Shi Ding was always there, which undoubtedly explained the problem.
This stone tripod... I'm afraid it's not that easy to get.
One day later, Ban Ci has reached the halfway point. Judging from this speed, she should be able to reach the end in two or three days. By then, her spiritual power will be converted, and she will meet the conditions for promotion to Yueyao and can be promoted at any time.
.
Although this trip took a lot of time, in general, it was just a run, and the reward was a piece of Phoenix Sky Blue Crystal, which was not bad.
Another day later, Ban Ci had reached more than eighty steps, which was almost the same as Lu Ye's estimated progress.
But after arriving here, the pressure on Ban Ci has obviously become greater, and he often has to rest for a long time before he can take steps to go up the next staircase.
At a certain moment, Lu Ye suddenly noticed that Ban Ci's body was shaking slightly. He realized that the situation did not seem to be good, and Ban Ci seemed to have reached his limit.
Looking more closely, her clothes were wet with sweat and clung to her body, with uneven shapes. Lu Ye had long known that she had a good figure, but he didn't know that she was so good.
I couldn't help but take a few more glances, my heart was filled with heat, and even my gaze became aggressive.
As if aware of his gaze, Ban Ci's body trembled even more.
wrong!
Lu Ye's expression suddenly became wary.
Although on weekdays, if he meets a beautiful or well-figured female cultivator, he will take a few more glances, but it is just a look. Everyone has their own aesthetic preferences, and when he encounters people or things that match his own aesthetics,
It's normal to take a few more glances, it's instinctive.
But Lu Ye never had any evil intentions because of this.
But just now he actually had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
The reason for Ban Ci? Lu Ye vaguely felt that it was not the case. He wanted to look away, but there was a voice deep in his heart that stopped him, making his gaze more aggressive, biting at Ban Ci like a leech.
With her curvy figure, thoughts are running through her mind.
Lu Ye quickly calmed down and looked at himself.
Nothing unusual!
It seems that everything just followed the actions of one's own heart.
But something is obviously wrong, something must have affected me.
But he has a talent tree nearby. If any strange external force invades his body, the talent tree will respond.
So far, he has only heard Bai Lu's singing in the mermaid territory, and it has affected his sanity a little, but that is the mystery of the mermaid's singing, which can be resolved without the ability of the talent tree. In the end, he got rid of the influence of Bai Lu's singing with his strong willpower.
Influence.
But this time the situation was completely different from that time. He knew that the thoughts in his mind were wrong, but the more he tried to restrain himself, the harder it became to extricate himself. Somehow, he even felt an urge to immerse himself in it and quickly put it into action.
thoughts.
It can be said that the power that affected him this time was more terrifying than Bai Lu's singing.
This makes people a little creepy.
If there is nothing abnormal in the body, then the problem is not in the body. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ye quickly checked his own divine sea.
When the spirit body of the soul appeared, Lu Ye was slightly startled because he found a piece of pink mist floating in his divine sea at some point.
And the mist was still expanding with the changes in his mind. The more he tried to restrain those thoughts that he shouldn't have, the faster the pink mist expanded, threatening to cover his divine sea.
.
And as the fog expanded, he found that his thoughts were becoming more and more crazy!
"Fellow Daoist Li!" Banci's voice suddenly came from the stairs, his voice trembling, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Lu Ye suddenly raised his eyes and saw that Ban Ci had turned around to face her at some point, her face was frighteningly red, her fists were clenched, her nails were embedded in her palms, and blood was flowing.
Lu Ye could tell at a glance that she was encountering the same troubles as himself, but her willpower was obviously as strong as his, otherwise she would have succumbed to the distracting thoughts that kept emerging in her heart.
Not half-hearted!
Lu Ye originally thought that Ban Ci had done something secretly, but when he saw her like this, he knew that he was wrong.
But if it’s not half-civilized, then what went wrong?
Before Lu Ye could ask, Ban Ci had already given the answer: "Devil Spider of Heavenly Desire!"
"What?" Lu Ye was surprised.
Banci closed his eyes and his chest heaved violently: "Not all the Heavenly Desire Demon Spiders we killed, there are even stronger Heavenly Desire Demon Spiders. They may have been hiding here, or they may have followed us here secretly.
Only by finding it and killing it can we be freed, otherwise..."
Otherwise, she didn't say anything, but Lu Ye knew that the result would definitely be bad.
But how could there be a Demonic Spider in this place? He didn't notice anything unusual at all.
When looking around, Lu Ye suddenly noticed with horror that there were white spider threads everywhere in the cave. They were criss-crossing and weaving the entire cave in. Looking back, he and Ban Ci came in.
The entrance to the cave was covered with a spider web.
This was simply unbelievable. Although he had been observing the situation over Banci in the past two days, he did not relax his vigilance about the surroundings. He had no idea when these spider silks and webs appeared.
Lu Ye vaguely realized that this time he was in big trouble. Regardless of whether the Demon Spider was hiding here that day or was following it secretly, it must be extremely powerful. It was most likely Yueyao's star beast, otherwise it would never be possible.
Keep yourself unaware.
Forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Lu Ye raised his hand and pulled out the Panshan knife, and slashed at the spider web behind him.
The long knife slashed down, and what shocked Lu Ye was that the spider web that didn't seem to be tough actually didn't bear any force. The Panshan Sword blessed with the Divine Edge Spirit Pattern couldn't cut it off at all. Instead, an extremely powerful sound came from the spider web.
The strong adhesive force firmly sticks the Panshan knife to it.
Lu Ye's spiritual power surged all over his body and poured into the blade crazily. In an instant, the Panshan Sword ignited with violent flames.
The spider web was still intact, which made Lu Ye more and more certain that the Heavenly Desire Demon Spider hiding in the dark was a Yueyao-level star beast. The spider web it created was so tough, and it was not the Heavenly Desire Demon Spider he had killed before.
Spiders are comparable.
When the sound of breaking through the air sounded, several strands of spider silk suddenly flew out from the spider web and rolled towards Lu Ye. Lu Ye's eyes twitched and he hurriedly retreated.
However, the Panshan Knife fell into the spider web and was soon covered with spider silk, making the blade invisible.
Bingxiu lost his sword, which was the first time in Lu Ye's history. But in the situation just now, if he didn't abandon the sword, he would be entangled in spider webs.
Spider silk came from all directions, and Lu Ye was extremely embarrassed to avoid it.
His current situation is not optimistic. On the one hand, he has to fight with all kinds of distracting thoughts deep in his heart. The more these distracting thoughts fight, the more violent they will fight back. On the other hand, he has to avoid the harassment of spider silk and look for the demon spider that day.
's whereabouts.
After just a moment, Lu Ye felt a little unable to hold on.
With the blessing of the insight spirit pattern, Lu Ye didn't even see the shadow of a ghost, let alone the Demon Spider of Heavenly Desire.
In this situation, if he wants to get out of trouble, he can use the imperial weapon he left outside the cave to activate the void spiritual pattern. But if he leaves like this, the Panshan Sword will be gone, and Banci will be left here alone.
, she will undoubtedly die.
The situation on Banci's side was even worse. Although she was also avoiding the harassment of spider threads, the various desires surging in her heart obviously had a great impact on her, so within a moment, one of her hands was entangled in spider threads.
The situation got worse. Several more spider threads came around, and Ban Ci couldn't escape anymore. His hands and feet were tightly entangled.
As soon as Lu Ye took one look, he knew she was finished. He was afraid that he would die unexpectedly in the next moment.
But what puzzled Lu Ye was that after restraining Ban Ci, the secretly demonic spider actually had no intention of taking her life.
And looking at Banci's expression, she didn't seem to be very panicked.
Her eyes had become extremely blurred, like spring water, but the expression on her face was one of shame and anger. At the moment when her whole body was restrained, the shame and anger disappeared, replaced by perseverance, as if she had made a certain decision.
determination.
"Li Taibai, do you know why it doesn't kill us?" Banci suddenly spoke.
"I don't know!" Lu Ye dodged the harassment of spider threads from all directions. Ban Ci's question was also something he was puzzled about. At this moment, if the Demon Spider wanted to take Ban Ci's life, it could easily kill him, and Lu Ye could
I feel that the spider threads that bother me are just trying to trap me, and have no intention of hurting or killing me.
The Demon Spider of Heavenly Desire hiding in the dark has no intention of killing anyone.
"Because it wants to suck our blood and essence!" Banci explained.
"You can still drink it even if you kill us!" Lu Ye said in the midst of his busy schedule.
"It's different!" Banci shook his head, "This is a Yueyao-level Heavenly Desire Demon Spider. Ordinary blood essence is not very attractive to it. What it wants is the kind that is extremely passionate and the most passionate.
The essence and blood in the state is what it craves, especially when we are both in the late stage of the constellation. This is undoubtedly a great attraction to it. It is now hidden in the dark. With the help of you and me, we can basically
You can't find it, and it won't show up easily until it succeeds!"
