Chapter 70: The Strange Stone

  "Is this the Twin Flower?" Zhang Shan asked softly.

  Ling Yuwei suppressed her excitement and nodded heavily.

  "Sister, it seems our luck isn't bad. These two spiritual beasts are evenly matched and seem to be in a life-or-death struggle. Who knows, they might end up destroying each other in the end." Zhang Shan said while paying attention to the fierce battle before him.

  "It would be best if it could be like this." Ling Yuwei said with full of hope.

  Zhang Shan slowly crawled backwards, and after leaving a distance from the entrance of the cave, he stood up and let out a sigh.

  "You can let me down now, we'll just find a place to sit and wait."

  "Fine, I'm tired of carrying you for so long anyway."

  Zhang Shan smiled and untied the rope from his body, putting Ling Yuwei down.

  "You mean I'm very annoying?" Ling Yuwei shot him a reproachful glance.

  He found a flat place and sat down with a thud, jokingly saying: "Although it's comfortable to carry on my back, it's indeed a bit heavy."

  "You... scoundrel." Ling Yuwei's face suddenly turned red.

  Zhang Shan only then felt that his previous words were a bit too casual, he awkwardly scratched his head: "Uh, I didn't mean it that way..."

  Ling Yu Wei bit her lip and glared at him: "Considering you worked so hard to save me, I'll let you off this time."

  Smiling and pursing her lips, she walked over and sat down beside him, listening to the distant roars of two demonic beasts fighting, her expression becoming anxious once again.

  "Don't worry, even if those two demon beasts can't die together, they must be seriously injured. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with them." Zhang Shan comforted her in a soft voice, seeing that she was feeling uneasy.

  Ling Yuwei thought he was right, and nodded silently. Then she remembered the things that had been calculated against her: "As long as I can recover, once I return to the sect, I will definitely make those three guys Xing Yuebo look good."

  Zhang Shan snorted and said: "Only two are left. Last night at the Man-Eating Vine Forest, Feng Pingyuan was already killed by me."

  Ling Yu's mouth opened wide in surprise: "I thought you had just escaped from their pursuit, but you actually killed one of them?"

  "Hey, they were finally unable to hold on in the illusion, and when they wanted to retreat, they got tangled up with me. Luckily, I managed to seize an opportunity, otherwise, even if it was usual times, I might not have been able to succeed." Zhang Shan raised his eyebrows and said.

  "No matter what, Junior Brother, you always manage to surprise people. Fortunately, I happened to invite you to join the team this time, otherwise it would have definitely fallen into Xing Yuebo's hands." Ling Yuwei thought about it and felt a lingering fear.

  Time passed unnoticed, and with two shrill cries, followed by a loud rumbling sound, the fighting suddenly stopped.

  After waiting for a while without any movement, Zhang Shan happily said: "It's done, they really have perished together."

  The two immediately stood up and rushed towards the large cave.

  As soon as they came out of the cave, Zhang Shan suddenly stopped, and Ling Yuwei almost bumped into him.

  "Quickly retreat, Sister! The spider demon is not dead!" Zhang Shan shouted tensely.

  Ling Yuwei was shocked, her eyes fell on the spider's body that had fallen to the ground, and saw its six limbs trembling for a moment, then it propped up its body from the ground, those eerie eyes staring coldly at them.

  "Quickly retreat, I'll hold them off first!" Zhang Shan shouted loudly.

  Ling Wei gritted her teeth, knowing it wasn't the time for hesitation. Staying behind would only drag Zhang Shan down.

  She turned around and retreated along the same path, shouting as she went: "Younger brother, don't force it either, hurry up and come out."

  Zhang Shan's aura burst forth with a loud roar, his true yuan reaching its peak. He didn't know how much of the spider queen's attack power was left after her severe injury, but he had already made preparations for an all-out battle.

  The spider's hind legs suddenly propped up, and in an instant it jumped to his face. The front leg lifted, then swiftly swung down towards Zhang Shan like lightning.

  If it were to slash across his body, Zhang Shan estimated that he would inevitably be cut in two.

  He let out a loud cry and swung his sword at the spider's hind legs.

  He didn't use the Great Silence Sword Technique, this move has stronger attacking power, but after using it, his whole body's true yuan would be exhausted and he would be unable to move for a while. If he couldn't finish off the Spider Queen in one move, he was doomed.

  The extinction of this lower-level sword style was no longer a problem for him now, so even if he couldn't repel the spider's attack, he could still dodge quickly.

  "Boom!"

  Zhang Shan was struck by lightning, his internal organs churned in turmoil, and he stumbled back a zhang, while the spider only let out a shrill cry, its body trembling slightly, but it didn't retreat one step.

  It seems that even after being seriously injured, the spider is still not something he can match, Zhang Shan had a flash of insight in his mind and decided to escape immediately.

  "Don't go yet, I've sensed something!" Bailing sent a thought from the sea of consciousness.

  Zhang Shan's body came to an abrupt halt, stiffening as he stopped dead in his tracks. Although he had no idea why the stele spirit wanted him to withdraw, out of trust, he did so without hesitation.

  Although he stopped, he gripped the hilt tightly, and the Great Silence Extinguishing Technique was already poised to be unleashed.

  At this time, I saw the spider opposite me raise its head and let out a shrill cry, shaking its brain like a drum, looking very painful.

  "What's going on? A spiritual attack? You still have this trick up your sleeve, Ling Feng?" Zhang Shan felt a slight relief in his heart.

  The monument spirit did not respond, and Zhang Shan immediately felt his forehead start to burn.

  When he was at a loss, the spider opposite him let out a mournful cry, and then his head suddenly made a "poof" sound as it penetrated a hole, and a crystal clear stone flew out from within, flying towards Zhang Shan's forehead.

  Zhang Shan was shocked, fortunately the stone stopped in front of him about a foot away and slowly rotated there.

  With a loud crash, the spider's body slammed onto the ground, its limbs twitching for a moment before becoming still.

  Next, the crystal stone floating in front of his forehead suddenly turned into a ray of light and entered Zhang Shan's forehead, disappearing instantly.

  The situation in front of him changed too quickly, Zhang Shan couldn't react at all.

  He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, feeling a smooth surface, and there wasn't a hole like the spider's bite, only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

  "What's going on with this stele? Is that stone going to drill into my brain or something?" Zhang Shan mentally shouted after calming down.

  "This isn't the first time, what's so strange about it."

  "What does it mean?"

  "You forgot, how did I enter your mind?"

  "Could it be that this stone..."

  "Not bad, this stone is actually a part of my true body. I didn't expect it to be hidden in the body of a demon spider. What an unexpected surprise!" The tone of Ling's voice was filled with endless joy.

  "It continued to explain: 'My original body had an accident a long time ago, and it shattered into several pieces. I don't know where they fell, but I am the core part, and that stone just now was one of my lost fragments.'"

  Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment before digesting this information. The origin of the stone monument was mysterious and powerful, but he didn't think it was incomplete.

  So, what kind of power would a complete stone monument have? A thought involuntarily emerged in Zhang Shan's mind.

  "Alright, I'll merge with this piece immediately. I'll be dormant for a while, it shouldn't take too long. During this time, host, you be careful."

  The monument spirit added another sentence and then fell silent.
