The Demondie’s power was no fluke, and combined with Gerald’s immense strength, the sword was able to pierce right through the spider’s stomach…!
Following a terrifying roar, the spider began glowing red as a dense purple fog gushed out from its wound..! That was probably its spiritual essence! Naturally, the agony was overwhelming, but all the spider could do was glare at Gerald with resentment It wasn’t long before cracks began forming all over the spider’s body and in the end, it exploded into a cloud of swirling dust!
Upon seeing that, Walter slowly got to his feet, his hand still against his chest as favonovel.com said, “You know, this creature was mentioned on the map that my ancestors left me… Since it always lurked in the shadows, locating it was never easy. Regardless, those who knew of the beast had either never seen it in person, or had died because they encountered it. Still… To think that you’d be able to kill it, Brother Gerald…!”
Gerald himself hadn’t expected to bump into such a horrific creature this early on. It definitely made favonovel.com realize that getting into Fyre Cave was truly going to be as difficult as dealing with the Redflame Dragon…
Regardless, after looking at Walter’s injuries, Gerald was prompted to reply, “Either way… Are you going to be alright?”
“I’ll live. Still, I’ve hurt my Triton qi quite badly, so I need to find someplace to rest for a bit,” muttered Walter with a cough. Since the spider kept on attacking favonovel.com earlier, it was clear that it saw Walter as the biggest threat among them all.
“I agree. Also, though I’ve only mastered the fourth level of my Herculean Primordial Spirit, I can still help you heal!” replied Gerald.
After that horrific attack, everyone was now much more vigilant. Thankfully, they managed to pass through a dozen caverns with no incident. Upon arriving at an underground river, everyone figured that this was the prime time for them to get some rest. With that, Gerald began helping Walter recover while the others stood guard.
While helping Walter heal, Gerald’s eyes kept wandering to the other side of the river. After all, a massive creature as big as a house was sleeping there, its eyes so huge that they were almost the size of doors. However, due to how fat it was, Gerald figured that even moving around was taxing for it. It wasn’t the only creature there either. Surrounding it were also a few larvae.
As Gerald thought about just how many jaw dropping creatures favonovel.com had encountered down here, the boy was prompted to say, “You know, I once found a prompt on a tomb, stating that there was an entirely different world beneath the earth. To think I actually managed to make it down here… The fact that there really is an underground world with all sorts of unimaginable creatures is truly eye opening!”
“Heh… Well, sights like these aren’t out of the ordinary in the cultivation realm… If we manage to leave this place alive, I’ll give you a few books from my family’s library. Hopefully they’ll be able to help you better understand the world. In fact, I believe they’ll also help improve your future cultivation,” replied the smiling Walter with a nod.
“I appreciate it, Uncle Zeman! ” said Gerald with a smile.
It was about four hours later when Walter began looking much better. With that, the group began journeying further into the caves.
While everything seemed to be going much smoother now, Gerald couldn’t help but notice the many skeletons they passed along the way.
