Black Spider's massive abdomen was heaving violently, showing no signs of stopping the wind for the moment.
Lingfeng quietly positioned himself behind Black Spider, keeping his body hidden while only his head remained on the ground.
"I need to end this quickly. If I wait any longer, Fei Fei and the others might get blown back to He Zhuang!" Lingfeng thought to himself. He then took out a dagger and used the Earth Escape Technique to move beneath Black Spider.
With only about a meter between Black Spider and the ground, as long as he crouched down, he wouldn't be detected.
Taking advantage of Black Spider being preoccupied with blowing wind, Lingfeng concentrated some spiritual energy into his Plum Blossom Watch, then suddenly thrust it towards Black Spider's abdomen.
However, it felt as if Black Spider's abdomen was made of iron; it didn't budge at all. Yet, Black Spider was startled and briefly stopped the wind, shifting backward slightly to see a stick propped against its abdomen.
It turned out that Lingfeng had cleverly found a stick to insert under Black Spider's abdomen while he himself burrowed underground, thus avoiding detection.
Disturbed in this manner, Black Spider seemed to relax about the outside. It scanned the entrance cautiously but found no danger before slowly crawling deeper into the swamp.
"Where is this guy going?" Lingfeng followed closely behind Black Spider.
After a while, some enormous trees appeared ahead, and Black Spider seemed to return home, climbing up a tree and then into the center of a giant spider web.
"Oh no, this will make it very difficult to kill it!" Lingfeng hid underground but dared not show his face.
However, if he remained underground like this, it would be impossible for everyone to pass through the swamp, and he wouldn't be able to obtain Black Spider's inner core either.
With its head down on the web, Black Spider had a full view of everything around it, leaving Lingfeng with no opportunity to strike.
After some thought, Lingfeng decided to target the two large trees covered in spider silk.
Although these trees were tall and massive, pushing them over was not particularly difficult. Moreover, if he could push down one of the trees, the Black Spider would have no choice but to fall to the ground, giving Lingfeng an opportunity for a surprise attack.
With this in mind, Lingfeng burrowed underground and reached the roots of the large tree. Near the ground, he positioned one end of the Connecting Rod against the tree's roots while holding the other end in his hand.
"Lengthen!" After preparing, Lingfeng commanded the Connecting Rod.
The Connecting Rod received Lingfeng's order and began to extend.
However, the tree was incredibly thick, and after thousands of years of growth, its roots had already penetrated deep into the ground. Lingfeng struggled as the Connecting Rod grew longer, immediately pushing him back a considerable distance.
There was no choice; Lingfeng had to endure. Finally, after stepping back a bit, he found himself standing on a rock embedded in the ground, which stopped his backward movement.
Meanwhile, the tree began to tilt under the pressure of the Connecting Rod, but due to its roots' anchoring effect, it did not fall.
The Black Spider seemed to notice the disturbance and slightly shifted its body in another direction.
The underground Connecting Rod also reached its limit and stopped growing, causing the tree's swaying to cease as well.
The Black Spider observed the tree for a moment before returning to its original position, looking down at the ground and waiting for its prey to arrive.
"That was close!" Lingfeng wiped away his sweat; it seemed that pushing down the tree was not going to work.
After thinking for a moment, he took out a dart and gathered a trace of Spiritual Energy on his middle finger, while another end concentrated at the tip of the dart. He then threw the dart outward, and it began to spin around the roots of the large tree. Before long, all the roots of the tree were severed.
Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief. At this point, without the support of its roots, the entire tree became unstable. Lingfeng walked under the tree, raised his hands to lift its base, and with a strong effort, he heard a loud crash as the whole tree toppled over.
"Haha!" Lingfeng jumped out from the ground, clapped his hands, and laughed triumphantly.
Not only did the tree fall, but the Black Spider was also pinned beneath the massive trunk, unable to move. Although it struggled to escape from under the tree, it simply lacked the strength.
"What a great opportunity!" Lingfeng leaped into the air again and summoned the Ivory Bone Knife, throwing it towards the Black Spider.
The Ivory Bone Knife emitted a white glow as it spun 360 degrees in mid-air, effortlessly slicing off the Black Spider's head as if cutting through paper.
A surge of black blood gushed out, spraying several meters away.
Without its head, the Black Spider struggled for a moment; however, as blood flowed out and its strength waned, it lost consciousness and collapsed.
Lingfeng sighed in relief and approached the corpse of the Black Spider. He used the Ivory Bone Knife to cut open its belly, revealing a massive Silk Pouch inside. Within that pouch was a black inner dan about the size of an infant's fist.
"Finally got one!" Lingfeng felt a surge of excitement in his heart and casually placed the Black Spider's inner dan into his Xuanji.
Looking outside, everything had returned to normal; it seemed that Fei Fei and others were waiting for him. Lingfeng didn't dare to delay any longer. He left the Black Spider's corpse behind and burned a path through to exit the swamp.
Outside was already in disarray, with branches and leaves scattered everywhere. Fei Fei and others were anxiously peering inside when they saw Lingfeng emerge unscathed. They finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to him.
"Five Elements Young Master, are you okay?" Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao pulled Lingfeng, asking with concern.
Lingfeng brushed off the dust on his clothes and smiled, "Of course I'm fine!"
Invisible Ghost looked at Lingfeng with some suspicion and asked in confusion, "How did you get in there?"
The dangers of the swamp were hard to imagine; even White Dove and the others dared not enter, especially not with the Black Wind blowing. Moreover, the wind had been fierce just moments ago; it was a miracle that Lingfeng wasn't blown away, so how could he have entered?
Of course, Invisible Ghost did not know that Lingfeng not only mastered Fire Control Technique but was also proficient in other Five Elemental Spells.
Lingfeng naturally couldn't reveal his true abilities and had long thought of how to deflect Invisible Ghost's questions. Looking at everyone, Lingfeng chuckled and said, "I have many skills that you can't even imagine!" He then took the lead into the swamp.
When he emerged, Lingfeng used Fire Control Technique to burn a path, clearly marking where the swamp was and where the safe areas were. At this point, the mist in the swamp had gradually thinned out, and the dampness had lessened significantly.
As they reached the center of the swamp, the scene of Lingfeng's earlier battle with Black Spider appeared. Fei Fei and the others looked at the headless giant Black Spider and broke out in a cold sweat.
Lingfeng deliberately glanced at Invisible Ghost and said proudly, "The Black Wind just now was caused by this Black Spider. I took advantage of a moment when there was no wind to sneak in and kill it!"
"That's amazing!" Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao looked at Lingfeng with admiration, their feminine side re-emerging.
Invisible Ghost's expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal as he stood silently to one side.
After successfully crossing the swamp and walking for more than ten miles, a concave terrain appeared before them.
Lingfeng stood at the edge of the depression, looking down and indeed saw a small village.
"Is this where you live?" Lingfeng asked.
Invisible Ghost nodded and said, "This village is called Niujia Village, the most peaceful settlement in the entire Mandala Demon Realm."
Although it was a village, the sunken terrain was almost vertical, with no apparent entrance or exit. Without the buildings of the village, it looked from afar like a dried-up reservoir.
Lingfeng didn't have time to think much and immediately jumped down with Fei Fei and Jiao Jiao, landing at the edge of the village.
Invisible Ghost also jumped down after Lingfeng, walking towards the village as if he was very familiar with the path.
Surrounding the village were some farmlands, filled with crops that had yet to mature. Although there were no trees along the roadsides, various flowers and grasses were fresh and vibrant, making it look more like a paradise.
Some children were playing in the village. Upon seeing Lingfeng and the others, they couldn't help but curiously stare at them, their bare bottoms exposed.
"Ha, these kids are so cute!" Fei Fei exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the children and wanted to reach out to touch them.
Unexpectedly, one child flashed a glint of coldness in his eyes, slipped away effortlessly, and dodged Fei Fei's touch.
"This child is a martial artist!" Fei Fei exclaimed in surprise.
The child appeared to be only four or five years old, but his speed of movement exceeded what one would expect for his age.
"The people in this village are all warriors or Demon Cultivators. They do not seek high levels of cultivation; they only hope to protect themselves!" the Invisible Ghost said calmly.
This village was truly unremarkable, appearing to have only a few dozen households. However, if everyone had certain skills, that would indeed be incredible.
Upon further thought, since everyone in this village possessed abilities, it was clear that there must be a powerful Demon Cultivator among them.
"Friend, may I ask who taught you your skills?" Lingfeng grinned widely, putting on a very ingratiating demeanor that was quite uncomfortable to behold.
The child was taken aback for a moment, and their expression gradually turned to one of disdain. Suddenly, they reached out with their right hand and pinched Lingfeng's ear, shouting loudly, "Intruder, get out of here!"
They had been undisturbed for years and were accustomed to a life without outsiders.
Though the child appeared young, their strength was surprisingly great. Lingfeng initially dismissed it, but soon felt as if his ear were being boiled in hot water, gradually experiencing a burning pain.
"Ouch! Why did you have to use force? It hurts so much; let go!" Lingfeng bent over, afraid to struggle, and could only shout in protest.
Fei Fei saw the child's serious expression and felt unable to contain her laughter. She found the child quite adorable and couldn't help but reach out to touch their face.
However, to everyone's astonishment, the child executed a grappling move and effortlessly seized Fei Fei's hand.
