Chapter 155: Rescuing Shadowless 12
"Master, you are daydreaming." Zhao Cai’s voice rang out, quickly snapping Luo Xia back to her senses.
She reined in her smile. "Do you expect me to cry? I’ve always been fond of smiling, you know."
"But you've never smiled this sweetly before."
"I've always had a sweet smile, haven't I?"
"There was always a hint of falseness beneath the sweetness."
Luo Xia fell silent. "..."
"Roar, roar—"
At this moment, Lucky started barking frantically, looking extremely excited.
Luo Xia was overjoyed. "Lucky, did you sense Wu Ying?"
Lucky nodded.
"Zhao Cai, what’s the situation outside?"
"Not bad. No one is chasing us for now, and no magical beasts are appearing ahead. They were probably frightened by what just happened; a radius of a hundred miles is perfectly safe."
Hearing this, Luo Xia was overjoyed.
However, for the sake of safety, she decided to use disguise arts.
She quickly transformed herself into a handsome young master.
With her disguise complete, she swaggered out of Zhao Cai’s spatial domain, riding atop Lucky.
Since traveling at night was difficult and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Xia stopped using her night-shining pearl. While magical beasts could move freely in the dark, humans were hardly capable of such a feat.
Therefore, when Luo Xia climbed onto Lucky's back, Lucky did not utter a single word of complaint.
One must know that apart from Situ, no one else had ever dared to get this close to it.
Moreover, Luo Xia had left clues along the way for Pang Qingyu and his sister, believing that they would soon be able to track them down.
Relying solely on her own strength, it was impossible to rescue Wu Ying.
As the saying went: with many friends, the road is much easier to travel!
In this lifetime, she must keep her eyes wide open and not be easily deceived by so-called friends ever again!
After traveling for about half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the spider cave.
"We're here!" Zhao Cai exclaimed with excitement.
However, when Luo Xia took out her night-shining pearl to illuminate the area and saw the cave entrance, she was dumbfounded—
The defense at the entrance consisted of spiderwebs!
Do not underestimate these spiderwebs; their threads were sharper than steel wires, and they were dripping with venom. Once touched, one would surely die of poison.
She wasn't afraid of venom, but these spiderwebs were densely packed, comparable to modern technological infrared lasers. How was she supposed to find a way to break through?
"Master, we've finally found the spider cave, but unfortunately, we can't get in." Zhao Cai sighed.
Luo Xia frowned. "What makes you say that?"
"These are not ordinary spiderwebs. They are incomparably sharp and indestructible. Furthermore, even if we destroy them, there is another barrier inside."
"A barrier? What is that?"
"It is a defensive shield that can only be set up by magical beasts of tenth rank or higher to block external attacks. To put it simply, it is a special space. Humans must reach the peak of the tenth rank to create a barrier, and only then is it possible to breach a barrier set by magical beasts."
No way?
Such profound magic?
Luo Xia furrowed her brows even deeper.
Could it be that all the time they spent in the middle of the night had gone to waste?
"Aren't they just ninth-rank magical beasts? How did they become tenth-rank?" Luo Xia was even more puzzled.
Zhao Cai sighed. "I don't know that either."
"If we can't get in, we can only lure them out."
"Master, they are too powerful. I'm afraid that as soon as they come out, a single move from them will turn us into dust."
"Roar, roar—"
Lucky suddenly roared furiously at Zhao Cai!
Frightened, Zhao Cai hid behind Luo Xia. "Lucky, I was wrong! Even if we die, we will rescue Lord Wu Ying, okay?"
Only then did Lucky gradually restrain its anger.
Luo Xia pursed her lips. "From now on, the two of you behave yourselves. I need to figure out a way to set up an ambush so that the spiders walk right into a trap the moment they come out. That way, we'll have a better chance of winning."
The fact that Lucky could sense Wu Ying proved that he was temporarily safe, and what she needed to do was figure out a way to set an ambush outside.
It was just so frustrating; she didn't even know what these two spiders were afraid of!
If she knew their weaknesses, her efforts would yield twice the results with half the work.
