Chapter 784: 784

As soon as he went through that path, he saw his surroundings grow brighter . Long Chen was delighted . Had he reached the exit?

For there to be light ahead was a good thing . But when Long Chen reached a s.p.a.cious region, his hair suddenly stood on end .

This was a large room over a mile long . It was practically a plaza but filled with golden boulders .

Those boulders were covered in decorative designs, each of which was dozens of meters . In truth, those designs were strange runes .

Below each of the boulders were eight long, furry legs . When Long Chen appeared, the boulders suddenly s.h.i.+vered . Long Chen felt his scalp go numb, and gooseb.u.mps covered him from head to toe .

“Hidden Ground Gold Spiders . ”

Long Chen thought of a book that Meng Qi had given him . That book had been called A Record of Ancient Magical Beasts .

Looking at the spiders’ bodies that were sparkling like gold, he recalled a terrifying Magical Beast recorded within it .

The Hidden Ground Spider was its descendant . Its bloodline stretched back so far that it was impossible to trace . Looking at these Hidden Ground Gold Spiders’ size and runic fluctuations, it was possible to see that they had reached the sixth rank .

Long Chen did a quick count and found over thirty of them . They now slowly got up and began to come toward Long Chen . Their fierce mouths were quivering, secreting golden liquid .

That liquid was poison . It didn’t even need to be injected into the body . As long as you came into contact with it, your body would rapidly corrode .

Long Chen instinctively took a step back, but a strange energy suddenly pushed him forward .

Suddenly, one of the Hidden Ground Gold Spiders shot toward Long Chen . Long Chen randomly took out a spear from his spatial ring .

That was a middle grade Enchanted item . Currently, he could only use it . It was a good thing that it was heavy enough . He smashed it onto the spider’s head .

BOOM!

But Long Chen was startled to see sparks fly . Although the spider was blown back, it wasn’t killed . Furthermore, he felt his own hands go a bit numb .

A sixth rank Magical Beast was only at the Xiantian realm . In the outside world, Long Chen could kill them with a wave of his hand . But now, a full-strength blow was unable to even injure one .

Although he was under a curse, the main reason was that the Hidden Ground Gold Spider was an ancient variant . This result shocked Long Chen .

This meant that these Hidden Ground Gold Spiders could all be compared to rank two Celestials . Was that supposed to mean that the ancient geniuses had been strong enough to completely dominate all these beasts?

What Long Chen didn’t know was that the trials here all had formations present . If the formations had remained in perfect condition, there would have only been one Magical Beast here .

But as time pa.s.sed, the formations had slowly weakened . The laws here still prevented them from leaving, but they had begun to reproduce in large numbers .

Furthermore, they possessed incredible longevity . Normally, they were in a state similar to hibernation, and so they used up very little energy . They could entirely rely on the energy coming from the formations to survive forever .

There was no way to retreat . Long Chen could only clench his teeth and fight . Forcing back three spiders at once, Long Chen felt his arms ache . His spear almost left his grasp .

This was because he was under the curse . The more power he used, the weaker he would feel . He was immediately caught in a crisis .

Long Chen continued to fight with his full strength, but one spider’s leg still pierced his shoulder . Their fur was like steel, and even his powerful physical body wasn’t able to resist . A b.l.o.o.d.y hole was opened in his shoulder .

A disgusting stench immediately began to come out of the injury . “What a vicious poison . ”

Long Chen’s heart shook . He hastily circulated the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . He drew out the life energy within the huge trees from the Spirit World, and his injury instantly healed .

He was startled . These strange trees were truly powerful . They were able to instantly heal him and remove the poison .

Furthermore, it hadn’t taken any effort at all to heal such an injury . And he found that these trees didn’t have any spiritual fluctuations .

They were completely different from the one he had encountered in the Spirit World . Although their shape was the exact same, they didn’t possess any consciousness, nor did they possess such a fiendish air . They were no different from ordinary trees .

BOOM!

After repeatedly blocking them, Long Chen finally couldn’t endure any longer . His spear was blown out of his hand .

Long Chen cursed inside . If it weren’t for this d.a.m.n curse, he would have trampled over these spiders .
