Chapter 1922 - Appearance of the Living Being
Translator: Legge
For such a huge trouble to happen in this mine, it would definitely attract experts of Glass City.
This was not a place where he should linger!
After ensuring that there were no unusual movements outside, Su Zimo left.
When he passed by the strange stone wall, he paused for a moment but did not act rashly and continued forward.
Before long, the mine entrance appeared deep underground.
Su Zimo stood at the entrance and looked around.
The scene outside was extremely terrifying. Dozens of corpses were strewn on the ground with fresh blood flowing.
Some of the cultivators lost half their bodies while others had their chests pierced by some gigantic weapon and were almost split into two!
Some of the cultivators were rotten and disfigured, dying tragically.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted to a head not far away.
The head was filled with rotting flesh and had no nose—it was the noseless cultivator who entered the mine with Su Zimo back then.
The person's head was severed and his eyes were widened with fear.
It could be considered as his bad luck that he encountered two of such mining calamities. He managed to survive the previous time but was not spared this time round.
Su Zimo sighed gently and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to step out of the mine, his expression changed and he retreated hurriedly, looking down.
"Mmm?"
Su Zimo's pupils constricted in shock!
A thin wound appeared on his calf that was almost imperceptible. However, it almost severed his calf!
Fresh blood seeped out slowly from the wound.
It was only now that Su Zimo felt an intense pain!
Although the wound was thin, it was extremely deep and even severed his bones!
Su Zimo's expression turned grim.
He still could not tell what sharp weapon it was that could cause such a thin wound.
Even the sharpest sword that was as thin as a cicada's wings would not leave such an injury.
It was more like he was cut by a thread.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly looked towards the entrance of the mine and narrowed his eyes.
Beneath the entrance of the mine, a string of blood droplets hung sinisterly in midair!
That was where Su Zimo had raised his leg earlier on.
Su Zimo channeled his Illumination and Nether Glow Eye and focused his black and white eyes.
Psst!
That single glance caused Su Zimo to gasp.
More than ten transparent threads appeared at the entrance of the mine, almost sealing it completely!
The string of blood droplets that hovered in midair came from one of the threads hung there.
That thin and transparent thread nearly sliced his calf into two!
"What's that?"
Su Zimo frowned with a bewildered expression.
At this point of his cultivation, the Green Lotus True Body could even injure connate black-grade Dharmic treasures.
However, the dozens of fine threads before him nearly severed his calf!
Those threads were sharper than any divine weapon!
Furthermore, Su Zimo did not use any strength at all and merely walked forward normally. When he accidentally bumped into the thread, his calf was almost severed!
In fact, he did not feel any pain when the thread cut into his flesh—it was clear how sharp it was!
Su Zimo's expression was terrible and he felt a sense of trepidation.
If not for his sharp spirit perception that sensed something amiss and retreated in time, he would have been a corpse that was sliced into pieces by the dozens of threads outside the mine!
"Could those threads have been left behind by that ancient living being?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he vaguely recalled something.
However, right then, he suddenly felt an itch from the wound on his calf that made him want to scratch it.
Su Zimo stopped that thought hurriedly and looked down.
The wound on his calf had already turned black and purple. The wound was oozing pus and his entire calf was gradually swelling!
The transparent threads were poisoned!
Su Zimo was shocked.
The Green Lotus bloodline was immune to evil and poison.
But now, even the bloodline of the Green Lotus True Body could not stop the spread of the poison!
The black and purple color of the wound spread slowly and Su Zimo's entire calf went from being itchy and numb to gradually losing feeling!
Su Zimo released the innate divine power of the Six Tusk Divine Strength hurriedly and his Essence Spirit and bloodline power surged.
Even so, the Green Lotus bloodline could not suppress the poison in the wound at all.
Su Zimo's Essence Spirit had long reached the Earth Essence realm and forcefully broke through the seal on his consciousness. He quickly erased the seal on his storage bag and took out a pile of elixirs to consume.
When the elixirs entered his stomach, they turned into a rich medicinal effect that surged towards his wound.
However, such a large number of elixirs and the pure and flawless Green Lotus bloodline merely blocked the spread of the poison slightly.
Right then, a warning flashed in Su Zimo's mind and he looked up instinctively.
Outside the mine, a blood shadow sprinted over at an astonishing speed!
Under the Illumination and Nether Glow Eyes, Su Zimo could see everything clearly.
The blood shadow was a gigantic scarlet spider. Its eight legs were sharp as spears and its feet were light. Stepping on the many threads, it was extremely agile and silent!
The Scarlet Blood Spider had a menacing expression and its bloodshot eyes revealed a ferocious gaze as it glared at Su Zimo in the mine, as though it had seen an interesting delicacy.
Su Zimo had already guessed that possibility earlier on!
For such threads to appear at the entrance of the mine, the only possibility was a living being of the spider race!
The aura released by the Scarlet Blood Spider was extremely terrifying and Su Zimo could not even sense its cultivation.
However, he realized that this Scarlet Blood Spider was the ancient living being that had just awakened from the Essence Spirit Mine!
When he touched the spider thread at the entrance of the mine, the Scarlet Blood Spider could sense it even from 500 kilometers away.
Although the spider thread was sharp and poisonous, the Scarlet Blood Spider's massive body walked on the threads with shocking speed as though it was walking on flat ground!
The spider thread trembled slightly and the Scarlet Blood Spider had already arrived at the entrance of the mine.
The moment he caught sight of the Scarlet Blood Spider, Su Zimo broke out in cold sweat.
This beast did not know any sympathy. Since it started a massacre the moment it woke up, there was naturally no way it would let him off.
Su Zimo could not run at all with his numb calf.
Phew!
A pair of gigantic golden wings appeared behind him and burst the surrounding stone walls. Sand and gravel flew as the mine tunnel swayed with signs of collapse!
Su Zimo wanted to make use of his Extreme Speed divine power to escape.
However, the abdomen of the Scarlet Blood Spider at the front squirmed and instantly spat out invisible spider silk. Although it looked unusually weak, it floated in midair and sealed Su Zimo's escape path completely.
When the wings of the Roc made contact with the spider silk, they dissipated instantly and could not defend against it!
