"Hiss! Hiss!"

After being shot with an arrow, the white spider made a chilling hissing sound that made everyone's skin crawl.

"Everyone, quickly hide!"

Duan Gujin's expression drastically changed; he sensed the aura inside the white spider becoming violently unstable and immediately guessed that it might self-destruct.

Some demon beasts, when attacked by a formidable enemy, would self-destruct as their first reaction, wishing to perish together with their adversary.

This is an instinct of certain demon beasts. Once a demon beast starts to self-destruct, unless a Daluo Golden Immortal intervenes, nothing can be done to stop it.

The five elders, upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, paused briefly.

The next moment, they sensed an unusual writhing in the white spider's body. Their expressions changed and with a flicker, they rapidly vanished into the void.

They were experienced and knowledgeable; they understood that once certain demon beasts entered a state of self-destruction, it was irreversible.

"Run!"

The elders' figures flashed as they rapidly ducked into nearby caves.

A loud bang resounded; the intense explosion echoed through the underground cave.

Fortunately, the underground cave was large enough that the explosion of the white spider did not generate a strong impact force, and the cave did not collapse.

As soon as the situation in the cave stabilized slightly, the elder in charge of the team immediately called out loudly.

"Young man, are you alright? Are you okay?"

Hearing the elder's query, Duan Gujin immediately replied, "Elder, I am here, I am fine!"

"Good, we can come out now!"

The elder quickly appeared from his hiding place, and Duan Gujin and the others also emerged from theirs shortly after.

At this moment, despite the cave being filled with the unpleasant odor of the white spider, everyone was too relieved to mind.

"Thank goodness, everyone is safe! Duan Gujin, you rank first in this assessment!"

The team-leading elder immediately said to Duan Gujin.

"Thank you, Elder Xie!"

Duan Gujin quickly expressed his gratitude.

"By the way, what Dark Weapon did you use just now that was so powerful?"

The elder then hastily asked.

"Elder, I used an ancestral Poison Arrow. I only know that this type of arrow is highly poisonous, but I don't know exactly what the poison is. I just know it's a very formidable poison," Duan Gujin replied.

"Could you let me have a look at it?" the elder immediately asked.

"Of course, Elder. I have two last Poison Arrows on me! Elder, you must be very careful, as the poison on this long arrow is extremely potent. If it hits, even a martial master of the Martial Emperor Realm would fall!"

Duan Gujin spoke sincerely.

The elder received the long arrow and examined it with his Divine Sense, sensing indeed that the arrow was envenomed.

His brow furrowed slightly and he asked, "Duan Gujin, would you be willing to give me this long arrow?"

Duan Gujin hastily said, "Elder, this poison is a very special and potent poison. If exposed to the air, it will lose its effect after 15 minutes. If placed in a storage ring, it will lose its effect after a month. If I give it to you now, Elder, and the poison expires, please don't blame me for giving you a useless Poison Arrow!"

"Oh! So that's how it is! No problem! Then let me ask you, are you willing to give me that poison arrow?"

The elder asked seriously once again.

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed slightly, truly unable to guess what was on the elder's mind.

"Is he testing me?"

This doubt flashed through his mind quickly, and he thought that the elder might very well want to use his poison arrow to kill his enemy.

"If this elder really has an enemy, and he is willing to assassinate his enemy, he wouldn't need this kind of poison arrow at all; he would have far more vicious means to deal with his enemy! He must be testing me!" His eyes sparkled as he thought of this possibility.

Therefore, he hastily responded: "Elder, if you want it, this disciple is willing to give these two poison arrows to the elder!"

The elder's mouth twitched as he spoke, "I saw you pondering for a long time, and I knew you were reluctant! You can't be blamed for that! After all, these two poison arrows are extraordinarily toxic, and as a disciple at the Martial Master Seventh Layer, you were able to use these arrows to kill a Third Level of Martial Emperor Demon Beast; one can imagine how powerful this poison is! A gentleman doesn't compel others to do what they find difficult, so I will not take your poison arrows! Take them back and do not expose them to the air casually!"

The elder quickly returned the poison arrows to Duan Gujin and told him to put them back in the storage ring.

"Thank you, elder!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, truly unable to guess what the elder was thinking.

Since the elder didn't want his poison arrows, naturally, he was very pleased.

"Let's enter the lair of that spider now!" said the elder.

"Alright!"

Everyone responded.

Thus, under the guidance of the elder, everyone entered the underground cave from where the white spider had previously emerged.

After entering, they were greeted by an extremely foul odor.

Everyone pinched their noses to avoid smelling the stench that permeated the entire cave.

They opened their eyes wide, examining what was actually inside the cave.

They saw that the cave contained numerous skeletons of Demon Beasts and the Human Clan, densely packed together.

What shocked Duan Gujin the most was the sight of several dozen eggs in a corner of the cave, each about the size of an adult man's head.

He surmised that these eggs must be either snake eggs or spider eggs.

The five elders examined the scene, picked up some of the bones and relics from the ground, and packed up all the eggs to take away.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense; his eyes suddenly lit up as he sensed there was something else inside the cave.

He trusted his judgment was not wrong; he truly felt a strange energy emanating from a corner of the cave.

"I will come back here later!"

A thought struck him, and he planned to return later to search for treasures.

The elders then inspected the underground cave and, after confirming that there was nothing else, led the team out.

Upon returning to the Blood Killing Sect, the elders had everyone rest well.

Duan Gujin did not rest immediately but rushed to the underground cave.

"I sensed a very strong energy in that underground cave earlier. That energy seemed to be deliberately concealed by the white spider, which is rather strange!"

Despite the busy day, he had completely recovered his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power after taking a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.

Now invigorated, he hurried to the underground cave, eager to uncover its secrets.
