AST 2368 - Terrestrial Tarantula (2/2)

Always be mindful to guard yourself against others!

Nalan Qing had always been together with the people from the Water Nation. It wasn’t a suitable time to develop any relationships with her, especially since Shen Huang and Beihuang Fan were with him.

Although the two women didn’t restrict Qing Shui in any manner, Qing Shui still had not reached a stage where he would dare to ‘seduce’ another woman in front of them.

“This place makes me uneasy,” Shen Huang looked around before saying to Qing Shui.

“The danger lays under our feet. This is a legitimate Ancient Beast, an ancient terrestrial tarantula king,” Qing Shui said as he laughed.

“Since you knew already, why didn’t you tell us?” Beihuang Fan glanced at Qing Shui and asked. Her charming looks were still super seductive.

“It was because I didn't have time to say it.” Qing Shui pulled the two women along as they headed toward the peak of a mountain.

“Are you trying to look for the Tarantula King?” Shen Huang looked at Qing Shui and asked.

“Yeah. Are you scared?” Qing Shui held his hand gently with force.

“Why would I be? There’s nothing to be afraid of with you by our side.” Shen Huang laughed and said.

The three had developed such a harmonious relationship to the point that all three of them were very comfortable with each other. Still, Qing Shui wouldn’t dare try and have both of them service him at once. This was simply a step he dared not take.

There was still a long time ahead. Moreover, this was already an enviable position…

A stone cave!

The three of them reached the other side of the slope and found a gigantic stone cave. The stone cave was slanted toward the ground. The cave was easy to overlook if one didn’t pay attention. The end of the cave couldn’t be seen even with Qing Shui’s vision. There were some waves of cold air felt or even sounds of chewing of bones that could be heard occasionally from outside of the cave. The sounds could be quite piercing, especially in such a quiet environment at the back of the hill.

“Do we go in or do we lure it out?” Beihuang Fan looked at the entrance of the cave.

“Let’s go in. Luring it out and alarming others can cause trouble. I’m in need of ancient beasts right now anyway,” Qing Shui said after thinking about it.

The two women followed Qing Shui into the cave.

They only realized the immensity of the cave upon entering and walking for over a hundred meters. The walls were totally made of stone, shiny and reflective, but with a slightly pungent, rotting smell.

The two women were also powerful cultivators. Though the environment wasn’t good, they didn’t show any signs of discomfort. The stench was getting thicker. It was the stench of blood and rotting flesh; one could already vaguely sense the threatening atmosphere and hear the crisp sounds of bones being crushed.

Zhi Zhi!

A sharp scream echoed, and even the incomparably hard walls began to tremble and turn to powder. It was like the endless billowing of waves, piercing through ears. Weaker cultivators would find themselves bleeding from their orifices, as even blocking off your ears wouldn’t help.

The two women were pretty strong, but Qing Shui still took the lead. He applied all his skills and wielded the Primordial Demon Refining Furnace.

The Primordial Demon Refining Furnace was like a tiny bowl in Qing Shui’s hands, exquisite and antiquated, with billowing waves of energy spewing out. The Furnace was a powerful deterrent against any demonic beasts. Though it couldn’t actually weaken opponents, it could literally scare beasts to death. This was its natural effect on demonic beasts.
