But soon, several more furry tentacles sprang out from the forest and flew towards Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling.
The section of the tentacle that Xiaoling had bitten suddenly exploded. Green blood spurted out, and some of it splashed onto the surrounding leaves, making a hissing sound as if they were being burned, and smoke rose from them.
"Xiaoling, be careful! The blood in these tentacles is poisonous!"
Feng Yunshu was greatly shocked. She reached out to pull Xiaoling back, but it was already too late. A lot of blood splashed onto Xiaoling's white fur, also making a hissing sound. Several wounds instantly appeared on Xiaoling's snow - white fur...
"Hiss... It hurts so much..."
Xiaoling let out a pained groan from her throat. She curled up into a ball, and the tips of her ears were even curled.
Seeing Xiaoling injured, Feng Yunshu's face darkened. She tapped her toes on the ground and leaped into the air. Holding a short knife in one hand, she fiercely slashed at the tentacle.
"How dare you hurt my Xiaoling! No matter how powerful a spirit you are today, I, Feng Yunshu, will surely make you pay a thousand - fold price!"
Saying so, Feng Yunshu steadily hugged the injured Xiaoling and looked at the wounds on her body worriedly. "Xiaoling, how are you?!"
"Master, I... I'm okay... It's just a minor skin injury. Let's deal with this spirit first! Sister Ziyuan may have been captured by this spirit!"
Seeing that the tentacle was about to fly over again, Feng Yunshu quickly grabbed a packet of medicinal powder from her purse and sprinkled it towards the spirit's tentacle. "Trying to use poison in front of this celestial maiden? Hmph, you're overestimating yourself!"
The medicinal powder landed on the tentacle, making a continuous hissing sound, and then started to smoke. Just like Xiaoling's wound earlier, the entire tentacle began to corrode visibly and turned into a pool of pus, dripping onto the ground bit by bit.
The spirit probably suffered a setback, and its tentacles quickly retracted into the dense forest on the opposite side.
Taking advantage of this gap, Feng Yunshu hugged Xiaoling and quickly darted behind a big tree to hide their figures so that she could check Xiaoling's wounds.
The blood of this spirit was indeed poisonous, and the toxicity was quite strong. The places on Xiaoling's body that were splashed with the blood all left burn - like scars. Her originally smooth and snow - white fur became a bit messy and in a sorry state.
Although Feng Yunshu was very心疼 Xiaoling, the two of them were not only master and servant. In their past lives, they were more like teammates fighting side by side. They had encountered many spirits and had been injured before. So after calming her emotions, she immediately took out a white porcelain bottle from her purse, poured out the pills inside, and stuffed them into Xiaoling's mouth.
As soon as the pill entered the mouth, there was a strong refreshing smell. Xiaoling could taste the aroma of ginseng and ganoderma in the pill. The cost of this one pill was at least dozens of taels of silver, and it was not easy to buy such high - quality medicinal materials.
"Master, you spent so many precious medicinal materials to refine just a few of these pills. Don't waste them on Xiaoling. Xiaoling's wound won't be life - threatening."
Feng Yunshu gently stroked Xiaoling's fur to smooth it out, her heart filled with pain. "Silly Xiaoling, I know our Xiaoling usually values her snow - white fur the most. It's just a pill. If there are no more pills, I can refine them again, but I can't let your fur be left with these scars."
Xiaoling rubbed against Feng Yunshu's palm. This was her way of expressing her gratitude and affection.
"Master, didn't you bring the demon - revealing mirror? Judging from the tentacles just now, this spirit is probably a huge spider spirit or a centipede spirit..."
Feng Yunshu nodded. "Yes, you and I think alike. But I don't have many tools on me. The words I said just now were actually to intimidate it on purpose, so that the spirit would think we were not easy to deal with."
"So what shall we do next? I can still use my spiritual power today, but my spiritual power has not fully recovered. If we really fight head - on, I'm not 100% sure I can kill that spirit."
Feng Yunshu frowned and thought. "We have no way back now. Ziyuan was probably taken away by this spirit. If we delay any longer, she might be dead. But I don't have a good way to deal with this spirit either. This..."
Just as the master and servant were纠结ed about this, suddenly a light bulb went off in Feng Yunshu's mind!
"I've got it!"
"Master has thought of a way?"
"Yes! I almost forgot about Third Senior Brother! If he can come, we'll have an absolute chance of victory!"
Xiaoling quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, yes. Then master, quickly send a message to Third Senior Brother and tell him to come quickly!"
Feng Yunshu nodded. She gathered her limited spiritual power and made a hand - seal gesture. She drew a symbol in the void. This symbol emitted a fluorescent light. Feng Yunshu slapped the symbol on the ground, and it quickly disappeared underground.
This was a unique way of sending messages in the Liuxian School. Fortunately, this method could still be used. Feng Yunshu was on high alert for the surrounding movements while waiting for Kong Ze to come.
At that time, Kong Ze was being dragged by Emperor Dongfang Chuan to discuss the matter of immortality. When he received Feng Yunshu's message, he was very worried, but he couldn't leave for a while.
"National Preceptor? Why aren't you speaking?" Dongfang Chuan saw that Kong Ze was silent and couldn't help but remind him.
Kong Ze pretended to be mysterious. "Your subject is thinking."
Actually, he was thinking of a way to help Feng Yunshu. Since he couldn't get away for the time being, he had to think of another way.
Fortunately, Kong Ze soon came up with a way. He quietly took out a thunder talisman from his sleeve and secretly sent it to Feng Yunshu through a hand - seal.
Along with the talisman came his message. "Little Junior Sister, I can't get away for the time being. Take this thunder talisman. After activating it, you can summon the thunder from the sky to strike and kill that spirit."
Feng Yunshu looked at the thunder talisman in her hand and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"Xiaoling, now we really have to rely on ourselves."
With this thunder talisman, Feng Yunshu quickly came up with a plan.
"That spirit must be hiding in the forest. Xiaoling, later I'll lure the monster out. You use your spiritual power to activate this thunder talisman. As soon as the spirit appears, immediately summon the thunder to strike it!"
But Xiaoling was worried. "Master, why don't I go and lure the spirit out? You have very little spiritual power left. What if you're injured by that spirit? Xiaoling is worried."
"It's okay. Although your master doesn't have much spiritual power, I'm quite agile. Moreover, I'm afraid I can't activate this thunder talisman for a while. So this arduous task is up to you. You must strike accurately! We only have one chance!"
Xiaoling nodded firmly with a determined look in her eyes. "Okay! Then go, master. Xiaoling will definitely complete the task! Master, you must be careful!"
Feng Yunshu nodded. She used her limited spiritual power to set up a simple barrier for herself to prevent being injured by the monster's venom. Then she tightly grasped the dagger in her hand and darted out from behind the big tree.
Since there was a clearing outside, Feng Yunshu knew that the spirit was watching in the dark. So she jumped around in the air. Sure enough, soon she heard a rustling sound coming from the forest.
She looked up and saw many dark - green eyes emerging from the dark forest. Countless eyes flew towards her. Feng Yunshu almost got trypophobia. She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
Suddenly, with a "boom", the monster flew out of the forest!
It was truly a colossal creature!
Feng Yunshu held the demon - revealing mirror and shone it on the spirit. She clearly saw that this was actually a huge strange - eyed spider spirit! Those dark - green eyes just now were growing on its abdomen!
