Chapter 485 An unexpected gain
But let’s not forget it, the power of hundreds of soul-eating spiders launching soul-eating magic together is still enormous.

The surrounding walls were shaking slightly, and Lin Changqing even saw that the space in front of him was distorted a little bit.

But that was all. Countless roots suddenly emerged from the void, and each soul-eating spider had several roots on its body.

Then their bodies began to shrink rapidly. Lin Changqing hurriedly told Lin Changliu to leave the second-level demon pill for him and not to suck it all up.

Fortunately, he said it relatively early, and Lin Changliu agreed to his request. After a while, the bodies of all the soul-eating spiders shrank to about the size of a palm.

Then all of Lin Changliu's roots disappeared, and Lin Changqing went up and lightly touched the remains of a second-level soul-eating spider.

Unexpectedly, it shattered at the touch, leaving only a complete second-level demon pill. He quickly searched around and found all the second-level demon pills.

A total of twenty-six demon pills were found and put into a jade box specially used for demon pills.

Then he found a spirit beast bag and collected all the visible soul-eating spider eggs. He did not count the exact number.

However, preliminary estimates show that there are definitely more than a thousand of them, and the rest are just the cocoons hanging on the wall!

After a preliminary observation, there are at least a hundred cocoons here, but Lin Changqing has read the introduction on the list of strange insects and knows the habits of the soul-eating spider.

They will inject a kind of venom into the body of their prey, then wrap it into a cocoon. After the prey turns into liquid inside the cocoon, they will eat it.

One can imagine how terrifying it would be to see the flesh of its prey turned into liquid, so in order not to embarrass himself, he decided not to open these cocoons!

In order to avoid seeing any disgusting scenes that would affect his mood and appetite, although he knew that there were at least three monks’ wealth here.

There are also five Soul-Eating Spider corpses that were just killed by the Amethyst Scorpion not long ago. They must be inside these one hundred cocoons.

Since he was not going to open the cocoons to check, but he was also a little unwilling to retreat like this, so he simply cast a few fireballs around.

Then he stood in the center of the Soul-Eating Spider's lair, watching the raging flames burning around him, and all the spider webs quickly turned to ashes.

Then a pungent smell spread in the cave, and Lin Changqing immediately used his magic power to block his sense of smell.

After the flames were extinguished, Lin Changqing used his spiritual sense to scan and found a trace of human activity on the outer wall of the cave.

There seemed to be a cave entrance there, but it was covered with layers of stones, basically sealing it off!
Seeing this situation, Lin Changqing felt very strange. If it was a cultivator's method, shouldn't he use magic to seal a cave?
Why would they seal the cave entrance with stones? This is such a mortal method. If that's the case, then he must open it and take a look!

Then he continued to use the spirit control technique to move the stones out one by one. Soon, a hole more than one person tall was revealed.

Lin Changqing did not approach rashly, but scanned it with his spiritual sense first and found that there was also a natural cave inside, but it was not too deep, only about thirty or forty feet deep.

At the very bottom of the cave, there was a skeleton lying on the ground. He first scanned the area with his spiritual sense several times, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he enter the cave.

After careful observation, this skeleton should be quite old. The bones have some traces of jadeification, which is consistent with the physical characteristics of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. There is no flesh on the body, proving that it cannot be formed in a short period of time. It looks like a few hundred years at least. Lin Changqing checked around.

I found two storage bags and a second-grade top-quality spirit beast bracelet, and nothing else!
At this point, he already had some guesses in his mind, but he just didn't know if they were correct!

These white jade soul-eating spiders outside the cave are mostly there, as if they are guarding this skeleton.

Moreover, there is a great possibility that these stones were placed there by the White Jade Soul-Eating Spider Lei in order to protect the skeleton inside from being disturbed!

Therefore, it is very likely that several years ago, a monk who participated in the trial was unfortunately injured!

He ran to this cave to heal his wounds, but in the end, his injuries were too severe to be cured and he died here. He left behind the White Jade Soul-Eating Spider to protect him outside.

Although they suffered backlash, they eventually survived, gradually multiplied, and finally formed the scale that Lin Changqing saw.

Of course, this was just his guess, but the smell in this cave was so bad that he didn't want to be contaminated with too much of this disgusting smell.

And Chen Ziya is still outside. In order not to let her worry, Lin Changqing also has to go out early.

So he left Lin Changliu here to deal with the soul jade vein, and he left the cave as soon as possible.

She successfully returned to the camp and met up with Chen Ziya. At this time, she had fully recovered. When she saw Lin Changqing, she quickly asked:

"Brother Qing! Are you okay? Have you cleared out all the soul-eating spiders in there? Did you get anything?"

Lin Changqing was relieved to see that she had fully recovered. He had been thinking of resting here for a day, but it seemed that was not necessary!
So he took out the two storage bags and the spirit beast bracelets that he had gained in the end, and shared his experience and final findings with Chen Ziya!

She was a little stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that such a powerful White Jade Soul-Eating Spider was actually a spiritual insect left behind by someone else!

Therefore, in order to verify whether Lin Changqing's guess was correct, the two of them simply started to refine the storage bags they had just obtained.

After finishing, he poured all the contents onto the ground, but the things stored in the first storage bag should be the corpses of some monsters.

But because it happened so long ago, what was poured out was some black substance, and the smell was very unpleasant.

The two frightened people quickly moved outside, and the contents of the other storage bag became much more normal.

There were some mid- and low-grade spirit stones, dozens of bottles of elixirs, seven or eight spiritual tools, and a large number of jade boxes. It was estimated that there were no less than three hundred of them.

The rest were some sundries and identity jade tokens and the like. Lin Changqing took a special look and found out that the original owner was actually a disciple of the Yuling Sect!
The most rare thing is that they actually found four jade slips, which is a very rare thing.
