The entrance to the Netherworld Cave was located on the outskirts of the Earth Core City. It was a natural cave that was dozens of feet wide. Looking down, it was pitch-black. The sides of the cave were full of vendors selling talismans, magic tools, medicinal pills, and jade slips. There were countless of them.

Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng did not stop at the entrance of the cave. Instead, they went straight into the pitch-black cave. The sides of the cave were covered with moss, and the sound of water dripping could be heard. It gave people the illusion that they were in an otherworldly paradise.

If they ignored the subtle sounds of insects …

After flying down for about a few hundred meters, the two of them arrived at the platform on the first floor. There were some Qi Refining Stage cultivators standing here, as if they were trying to rope in other cultivators to enter together. In the middle of the huge platform, there was also a huge natural pit, but this pit was covered by a layer of light purple light. It was probably used to block the attacks of Zerg below, or to block low-level cultivators.

The two of them did not intend to stay for long. After stopping, they looked around the environment. Then they went to the second floor, the third floor, and the lower they went, the quieter the surroundings became. There were even fewer cultivators. When they reached the fourth floor, there was no one on the platform.

The pit in the middle also became very small. Just by looking at the fist-sized but powerful protective array, it seemed that no cultivators had set foot on the fifth floor below.

The surroundings were pitch-black. Some Zerg would follow the light source, so there were no illumination pearls on the first to fourth floors.

Li Jinzhi released his Divine Sense to sense the surroundings. He found that the space on the fourth floor was much smaller than the first three floors.

The platform on the first floor was very wide. It was not a problem for dozens of people to walk side by side. However, the fourth floor was extremely narrow. There were only three passages, the top, middle, and bottom. The width was barely enough for two people to walk side by side.

If he had known this kind of terrain, he would have studied the geography jade slips. He believed that he would be able to cope with it!

"The terrain is winding, and there are small paths on the upper, middle, and lower floors. There are countless small passages that can be passed through sideways." Ye Cheng seemed to know what he was thinking and said slowly.

When Li Jinzhi heard this, the small paths in his mind became entangled. Well, it was naturally better to have someone to lead the way.

Ye Cheng did not take out the jade slips to compare the route. He just roughly recalled and pulled Li Jinzhi toward a slightly narrower passage. Away from the entrance of the fourth floor, everything around them became quieter.... except for each other's breathing, there was no other sound....

Li Jinzhi said, "There are not many Zerg on the fourth floor, but they all have special abilities.. and cultivation.... and some of them have spiritual Intelligence.........."

...........................................

Li Jinzhi had no objections to not fighting an unprepared battle. He was pulled along by the person in front of him. Although he couldn't see the other person's back, he felt unusually at ease.

Which of the real main characters of leveling up did not explore opportunities alone, face challenges alone, and grow up when they were betrayed by their companions? He also had this awareness after coming here.

Under the temptation of becoming an immortal and having limited opportunities and treasures, it was really not easy to gain someone's sincerity.

But he got it. He did not think of Ye Cheng as his little brother, because it was a kind of relationship that he could entrust everything to.

Was this a brother?

It seemed more reliable than a brother.

Family?

It didn't seem like it.

Then what was it?

Li Jinzhi's eyes were blank for a moment. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a sudden hissing sound.

The hissing sound of insects became clearer. The spiritual Qi of the two immediately surged out to protect their bodies. They leaned their backs against each other, and each of them guarded one end of the passage.

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

The sound was getting louder and clearer. It seemed that a huge monster was approaching the two of them through the narrow passage!

The two of them released their divine senses at the same time. They gathered into a ball above their heads and suddenly spread out, scanning inch by inch. Finally, they found the huge monster a hundred meters away!

It was a huge spider. Its entire body was dark green, and its back was covered in fur. Its face was delicate, and its pitch-black eyes were emitting a light blue light in the dark passage.

Li Jinzhi muttered to himself for a while. He suddenly thought of his friend's pet spider. If you ignored the milky white foam that overflowed from the corners of its mouth, the spider was actually very cute.

"Ten Thousand Vats Spider. Its voice is long and its face is delicate. It's best at creating poisonous fog. Any cultivator who gets hit by it will have their spiritual Qi stagnated and their limbs go numb." Li Jinzhi transmitted his voice.

Although he was not very reliable when it came to identifying the path, he was still very reliable when it came to remembering other things.

"Where is the Death Gate?" Ye Cheng asked in a low voice. He was cold and serious, and there was no longer the joy and relaxation from before.

"Under its chin." Li Jinzhi's divine senses were tightly locked onto the Ten Thousand Vats Spider. Fifty meters, twenty meters, it was getting closer and closer.

Ye Cheng understood and did not hesitate. He raised one hand and a pitch-black long sword condensed from spiritual Qi appeared in mid-air. With a slight flash, one sword turned into ten, and then into a hundred. The entire passage was densely packed with swords.

Li Jinzhi staggered from being squeezed. He said unhappily, "In the future, in such a narrow place, it's better not to use this kind of technique."

"…" Ye Cheng, who was about to make the first move, was stunned. After a moment of silence, he compromised. "I just thought of a new technique."

Li Jinzhi was silent. "When we get back, the two of us should patiently read through the jade slips in the Ice Palace. If there are any ancient techniques, they'll be very useful."

Ye Cheng did not answer because the Ten Thousand Vats Spider had already crawled close to them!

The countless small swords suspended in the air quietly flew out. They only carried a few gusts of air with them. In the blink of an eye, they flew under the spider's chin. However, before they could get close to the emerald green spider, the speed of the small swords suddenly decreased. By the time they reached the venomous spider, they were already in tatters.

In the end, as if unable to bear the burden, the spider hummed and disappeared into nothingness.

Li Jinzhi's divine senses sensed all this and was slightly stunned. According to the records, the level of this Ten Thousand Vats Spider was not considered high. At least, it was considered a weak existence on the fourth level.

However, the poisonous gas emitted by such a spider was actually able to corrode the small swords Ye Cheng condensed from spiritual Qi.

It was really …

Extremely dangerous!

Li Jinzhi frowned and raised a long needle as thin as a cow's hair with one hand. The end of the long needle was tied with a bright red string. The appearance of the long needle did not attract much attention, but Ye Cheng realized that this long needle was different from the ones condensed by Li Jinzhi in the past.

It was extremely cold. As it spun, it looked as if it was going to freeze people.

The long needle hummed and split in the air. One needle, ten, twenty. As it spun, it looked as if it was going to freeze the tunnel.

However, Ye Cheng realized that these new ice needles were different from the first one. They seemed to be missing something.

The long needle hummed but did not move.

The white foam dripped from the Ten Thousand Vats Spider's mouth. When it landed on the ground, it quickly solidified into something like dry silk.

A ball of pitch-black fog suddenly spewed out. When the surrounding rock layers came into contact with this black fog, they actually began to slowly corrode.

The ice needles on top of Li Jinzhi's head continued to split, but none of them gave Ye Cheng the same feeling of fear as the first one.

Seeing that the fog was spreading rapidly, Ye Cheng patted his storage bag with one hand. A yellow silk handkerchief spun out and stopped above their heads.

Under the yellow light, the two of them were properly protected. Coincidentally, the black fog spread to their surroundings but avoided the yellow light. It was as if this area had been hollowed out by someone.

The long needle on top of Li Jinzhi's head finally finished condensing. The white-haired man suddenly opened his eyes and the long needle suspended above his head suddenly flew out. Ye Cheng noticed that Li Jinzhi's originally slightly white pupils had now turned completely silver-white. Everything in his pupils was incomparably empty.

He knew that this was because the other party was using all of his divine sense to control the long needle's spiritual Qi.

It was not uncommon for cultivators to use their divine sense to divide their spiritual Qi into one part to fight against an enemy. If they divided their spiritual Qi into two parts, their divine sense would also have to be divided into two parts. The more it was divided, the greater the consumption of divine sense.

Ye Cheng knew that Li Jinzhi was planning to use the long needle, which contained the real killing move, to stab the other party's chin. The long needles without much spiritual Qi were only used to fool the other party.

On the other hand, the consumption of divine sense and mental power was relatively large.

And he only needed to take care of the other party and his own safety when the other party was unable to divert his attention. He only needed to be fully prepared.

This was the trust that Li Jinzhi had given him, and he was willing to take over the other party's back.

He also believed that when he was unable to divert his attention to his surroundings, he could wholeheartedly entrust his safety to the other party.

Thinking of this, the yellow light around the two of them became even brighter. The pitch-black poisonous fog that was continuously gathering was completely blocked outside.

It could not advance even an inch.

The long needles gathered in mid-air and scattered again. Although the poisonous fog around the Sky Weng Spider was strong, it was unable to dissolve so many long needles in a short period of time.

Therefore, the long needles only paused slightly around the Sky Weng Spider. Although most of the long needles were dissolved by the poisonous fog, a small portion of the long needles continued to move forward as if they did not exist.

After a large number of long needles pierced the Sky Weng Spider's skin, they were blocked by its hard outer shell. However, among the countless long needles falling to the ground, there was a very faint popping sound.

Once the sound of the needles piercing into the body was heard, it was closely followed by a faint explosion. The poisonous fog around them paused for a moment before quietly dissipating. Then, the sound of a huge creature falling to the ground was heard.

Thump.

"It's kneeling."

Li Jinzhi's pupils returned to normal. He turned to look at Ye Cheng. "Perhaps you should also take a look at Zerg's Door of Death. There is a very detailed way to kill it inside."

"Mm." Ye Cheng replied in a muffled voice.

"But its demon core can probably be sold for a lot of money, right?"
