Chapter 71: Spoils of War and A Timely Arrival

  A cry of surprise came from behind, Zhang Shan turned his head and saw Ling Yuwei with her mouth agape, staring at the spider's corpse on the ground in utter disbelief.

  "You... killed it?" It took her a good while to come back to herself from the shock.

  Zhang Shan waved his hand: "It doesn't count, it was already mortally wounded, I just happened to give it the final blow."

  "No matter what, you always manage to surprise me, little brother." Ling Yuwei said with a flirtatious smile.

  "Alright, Master Sister, let's first pick the Twin Birth Flower and use it to treat you. There shouldn't be any special requirements for collecting it, right?"

  Zhang Shan turned around and walked towards the edge of the small lake.

  "Just pick it directly from the lake and it's done, unfortunately it's not fully ripe yet, it's a bit of a waste." Ling Yuwei said with a hint of regret.

  Zhang Shan swooped down from the lake surface and picked up that double-blooming flower with his hand, then turned back to face Ling Yuwei.

  The faint fragrance of the flower in hand wafted into the nose, making one feel carefree and delighted.

  Zhang Shan handed the flower to her hand: "Indeed it's not an ordinary thing, smelling it makes people feel refreshed."

  "I just need a single petal." Ling Yuwei said softly.

  "Keep it for now, if you can store it. In the future, when you encounter a crisis and need to use the Blood Escape Technique again, it will still be useful." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

  Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, no longer declining, plucked off a petal and then took out a jade box to store the rest: "After returning to the sect, I'll ask someone to refine it into a pill, and then distribute it to my fellow disciples."

  Zhang Shan shook his head and smiled, "Sister, take it and hurry up to refine the medicinal properties. I'll go deal with the spider and that red-tailed scorpion. Those materials should be able to exchange for quite a few things."

  Ling Yuwei nodded and walked aside, sat down cross-legged, ate the twin flower petals, and began to meditate and cultivate.

  Zhang Shan put the entire body of the Red-tailed Scorpion into his Su Mei ring and came before Zhu Hou.

  "Huh, is there an egg here?"

  Zhang Shan blinked and saw a fist-sized egg under the spider's abdomen.

  Pick up the egg and hold it in front of your eyes to take a closer look, its color is like white jade, and you can still feel a faint glow flowing on the shell, holding it in your hand, you can still feel some residual warmth.

  "Could it be that the spider queen laid them before she died? I wonder if they can hatch?" Zhang Shan thought to himself.

  Put the egg together with the corpse of the spider's back into the Su Mei ring, planning to go back and study it carefully again.

  There are also over a hundred corpses of Ice Fire Spiders and Red-tailed Scorpions in the cave, ranging from 4th to 6th rank. These were all subordinates of the Spider Queen and the Red-tailed Scorpion King, who died in the chaotic battle at that time.

  "Haha, once luck comes, nothing can stop it. These hundreds of demon corpses are all quite valuable."

  Zhang Shan happily stuffed all of them into the Xumi ring, and the space inside was almost full.

  "Hmm, I should get a bigger Suzumiya ring next time, the space provided by the sect is still not enough." He thought happily.

  After putting everything away neatly, he also sat down cross-legged and began to meditate.

  Half an hour later, Ling Yuwei finally ended her cultivation.

  She sprang up and stretched her body, smiling brightly: "The Double Blossom Fruit is indeed extraordinary. I feel not only has my vitality been fully restored, but also my state of mind has been elevated."

  Zhang Shan, who was beside her, also opened his eyes and looked at her for a few moments before saying strangely: "It seems that Shifu has recovered. Can this twin lotus flower still promote hair growth? In half an hour, Shifu's hair grew back to its original length."

  Ling Yuwei said with a bit of embarrassment: "I used some of the medicinal properties to promote hair growth, otherwise it would take a long time for it to grow naturally, and it would look terrible."

  Zhang Shan was a bit speechless. Women indeed love beauty above all else. If it were him, he would never waste his energy on such things.

  "Sister, apart from the 9th rank spider queen and scorpion king, there are also over a hundred spider corpses and scorpion corpses. I've collected them all into the Su Mei ring. Let's divide them when we get back. This time was quite profitable."

  Zhang Shan thought of his earlier gains and smiled happily.

  "This can't be right, I didn't do anything, and it was Shidi who saved me, so there's no need to give me any." Ling Yuwei hastily declined.

  Zhang Shan waved his hand: "Sister, it's like this, you don't want it, and I'm not at ease taking it either. Two plus one is five, that's settled."

  Ling Yuwei was about to say something when a gloomy voice suddenly rang out: "Haha, it's better to come late than early, you don't have to push and shove anymore, leave those things for me."

  Zhang Shan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two people walking in from outside, who were none other than Xing Yuebo and Suo Changtian.

  Xing Yuebo's gaze swept across Zhang Shan's face: "What did I just hear? A ninth-level spider queen and a red-tailed scorpion? And over a hundred demon corpses?"

  "He rolled his eyes and said: 'I guess, it must be a big battle between the two demon beasts, and in the end, you benefited from it, right? Unfortunately, you are not worthy of enjoying it.'"

  "Xing Shixiong had long expected you to come here, and indeed, it's true. This has really fulfilled the ancient saying 'Mantis catches cicada, yellow sparrow behind'. You two, acknowledge your fate!" Su Changtian laughed loudly with gleaming eyes at this time.

  Ling Yu Wei took out a curved knife and approached Zhang Shan, shouting angrily: "It's you two again, I was just looking for you to settle the score."

  Xing Yuebo glanced at Ling Yuwei and said, "Hm, it seems that Shifu's injury has healed? It turns out there really is some spiritual grass here, but this is also useless."

  Zhang Shan sneered: "You really think you can take us down? Just the two of you? Don't forget, when the three of you joined forces, I still managed to take one of you down."

  Xing Yuebo's face sank, obviously hitting a sore spot. The three of them surrounded the enemy and ended up getting one of their own killed instead, it was too embarrassing to talk about.

  "That's the elixir on your body that defies the poisonous miasma, otherwise you would have died hundreds of times already." He growled viciously.

  Zhang Shan sneered and transmitted a message to Ling Yuwei, "When we make our move later, I'll first hold off Xing Yuebo. Sister Master, you lure Suo Changtian away, then I'll take the opportunity to come over and join forces to kill him."

  Ling Yuwei also transmitted her voice: "You, be careful yourself."

  Zhang Shan nodded slightly, took a step forward, and pointed his sword at Xing Yuebo: "Useless Bo, do you want to be a demon corpse? Then come on over, let's see if I won't beat you until you're picking up your teeth from the ground."

  Being scolded as a waste, Xing Yuebo was furious and rushed towards Zhang Shan in a flash, shouting: "Su Changtian, go take down Ling Yuwei, this bastard is mine!"

  Suō Cháng tiān's face lit up with joy, he deeply knew the ferocity of Zhang Shan. Now letting him go against Ling Yuwei was exactly what he wanted. He loudly guaranteed: "Xíng Shīxiōng, rest assured, I will definitely take her down."

  Watching Suo Changtian rush over, Ling Yuwei remembered Zhang Shan's words and did not fight back hard, but instead took the opportunity to retreat to the side.

  At this time, Xing Yuebo had already rushed to Zhang Shan's front, with a large sword light in his hand, covering Zhang Shan inside.

  Although he was burning with anger, he knew that he couldn't treat Zhang Shan as an ordinary person, so he went all out without any reservation.
