Chapter 2439 Above and below ground, everyone is busy.
Even when Aunt Zhu returned to her original size, it was still about the size of a small house, but compared to the massive size of the black alligator, it was incredibly tiny.
That huge mouth was big enough to swallow Aunt Zhu whole.
But the Cave Spider Queen's abilities didn't stop there. Aunt Zhu had a spider silk thread stuck to a tree seven zhang away, when suddenly her eight claws retracted—
It didn't use the momentum to jump away, because there wasn't enough time; the crocodile's mouth was too fast, and its second jump was too slow.
Just as the crocodile's mouth snapped into the spider queen, the taste was off.
It lacked the fluffy, bursting texture of other foods; instead, it was dry and tasteless, like chewing wood.
But onlookers could see clearly that it was chewing up wood!
In that instant, Aunt Zhu switched places with the tree.
He Lingchuan also knows this trick, but this is the Cave Spider Queen's version of "Shadow Shift," a skill that only Aunt Zhu possesses with her newly acquired spider molt.
Aunt Zhu wasn't very happy. She had only exchanged one move with the enemy before she had used up one of her life-saving techniques. She was annoyed!
It will take another thirty or forty seconds before I can use this move again.
Just then, Li Yun arrived with the disciples of Changfeng Valley.
Duzhi Mountain is one of the most important medicinal herb producing areas in Changfeng Valley. It was originally lush with vegetation and had neat medicinal fields. Whenever a gentle breeze came, the fields were filled with the fragrance of herbs, which was refreshing and invigorating.
This field is planted with particularly valuable medicinal herbs. In addition to the common ginseng and sesame seeds, there are some strange medicinal plants, such as blood tortoise vine and spotted money seed. Apart from being extremely deadly, they are all precious medicinal ingredients.
Even the "Red Seal Root," which is basically impossible to cultivate in the cultivation world, has made breakthrough progress in artificial breeding in Duzhishan.
This plant grows to the height of a person's calf, is entirely red, and has ten long, slender but powerful tentacle-like tendrils that help it crawl forward on the ground. It also has a remarkable jumping ability, leaping several meters in a single bound.
The most interesting thing is that this red safflower root has a huge nodule on its neck, which looks like an "o" shaped mouth, as if it is about to scream in surprise at any moment.
And it really can emit a high-decibel scream, just like the goose at the village entrance, which will chase after strangers when it sees them.
But all of that is now gone. The Earth Mother threw stone men to hunt down the intruders, resulting in a major disaster for the medicinal field. Li Yun's wave drum was stolen, and there was nothing more she could do to stop them.
The medicinal herb fields of Duzhishan have been basically destroyed by these outsiders!
The disciples of Changfeng Valley chased after them all the way, and when they saw the tragic state of the medicinal field, they were furious.
Meanwhile, countless rainbow lights flickered among the mountains, as the other immortals of Changfeng Valley rushed over in response to Li Yun's urgent command.
At this time, Changfeng Valley had not yet experienced the siege of the three sects, but it was full of talents and was at its peak. There were thirty-six immortals, of whom fifteen were away, seven were in seclusion, and fourteen were still in the sect!
His disciples number in the tens of thousands!
Even without Shangguan Biao personally taking action, the power of Changfeng Valley alone could crush all these invaders.
He Lingchuan had just fought with Li Yun. Although this was a secret realm, the cultivation levels of the immortals within were very realistic, almost without any discount.
Seeing that the immortals of Changfeng Valley had arrived, the Blood Demon immediately said to He Lingchuan, "Hey, how about I sneak off and kill that servant Shangguan Biao? Maybe that can save you from this predicament!"
The Duzhishan Secret Realm was actually built around the servant Shangguan Biao. Theoretically, once this key figure dies, the secret realm should also end.
should.
Given the overwhelming disparity in numbers, Blood Demon believed it was worth a try.
He Lingchuan immediately said, "Keep an eye on him, but don't make a move. Wait for my signal."
He has weathered countless storms in his life, and in times of crisis, his reaction is usually faster than anyone else's.
Blood Demon's suggestion is the best solution to the current crisis, but as mentioned before, He Lingchuan needs to buy more time in this secret realm.
His plan was close to success; it just needed a little more time.
He was unwilling to give up unless absolutely necessary.
"Alright." Taking advantage of the battle and the darkness, the Blood Demon quietly made his way to the three rows of houses.
At this moment, the master of the secret realm stomped his foot on the ground, and his figure suddenly grew larger.
In just three breaths, it transformed into a giant stone man, three zhang tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, red eyes, and covered in moss!
And this is the image that Mother Earth has always presented to the world.
Then, pointing at He Lingchuan and the others, he said to Li Yun, who was rushing over, "Take down these invaders! They destroyed all the medicinal herb fields in Duzhishan!"
The medicinal herbs planted and transplanted on Duzhi Mountain sometimes fetch thousands of yuan, making them priceless treasures. Furthermore, the high-quality produce here is exclusively for the elders, to meet the medicinal needs of the immortals.
Actually, his statement is debatable. He Lingchuan and the others didn't collect more than two herbs in total. Du Zhishan's spiritual fields were destroyed by him using the power of the Earth Mother.
But Li Yun had no time to think about it. The Earth Mother never lies. Since she has already accused these outsiders, they must take them down.
As for the giant crocodile, its body was made up of multiple layers of stone, clearly a creation of the Earth Mother, so it was not the target of Changfeng Valley's attack.
"Outrageous! How dare they run wild in Changfeng Valley!" Li Yun pointed at He Lingchuan, with whom he had a deep-seated grudge. "Take them down!"
The cultivators from Changfeng Valley surged in from all directions, surrounding He Lingchuan and the others.
With the enemy outnumbering us by several hundred to one, and the big boss, the master of the secret realm, lurking in the shadows, is this battle hopeless?
Immortal Mingke retreated to He Lingchuan's side and whispered, "Hold on, True Man Sihai and my senior brother will be here soon."
He Lingchuan looked up and saw that, sure enough, there were hundreds of rainbows flashing again at the entrance of Duzhishan.
Immortal Mingke let out a long roar, urgently summoning his senior brother to come and fight!

The surface was bustling with activity, while underground it was quiet and peaceful.
The surface entrance to the Earth Mother's Nest had been sealed by Li Yun, and the cavern space reappeared fifteen zhang underground. This was a secluded corner, usually deserted except for one or two disciples from Changfeng Valley who would enter occasionally.
Most of the stone mole crickets that had previously attacked He Lingchuan and the others were also trapped underground.
The master of the secret realm was busy with something and couldn't be bothered with them.
Without the prompting of the master of the secret realm, they reverted to their nature; some dug new burrows, while others wandered aimlessly.
The stone cricket that had bitten He Lingchuan's arm and been flung back to the ground remained motionless in the crevice, its forelimbs occasionally twitching. Other crickets passed by without paying it any attention.
It's unclear how much time passed before the unfortunate creature waved its tentacles, resumed its crawling, and joined the ranks of the cave dwellers.
Since it couldn't get out, it and its kind just crawled around inside the cave. Li Yun's supernatural powers had changed the position of everything in the cave, which was why Aunt Zhu couldn't find her target earlier.
In the pitch-black darkness, the neglected stone cricket lazily circled around, eventually climbing onto the top of the kidney-shaped white stone.
Hehe, found it.
