Ye Lingyue again scattered a powerful beast repelling powder around the camp, a potent insect repellent left by the Hong ng Fang Immortal, which kept any spiritual demons or beasts of the Third Rank and below from approaching the camp.
In the Yunng Swamp, most of the demon beasts and spiritual beasts were below the Third Rank, so after setting up, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er headed toward the swamp area.
Seeing Ye Lingyue’s figure disappear on the other side of the jungle, a trace of dimness passed in Feng Xun’s eyes, feeling annoyed for the first ti in his life due to his own frailty.
If it were "him," he should have been able to follow Ling Yue like a shadow at this ti, protecting her.
Feng Xun sat in front of the tent, idly poking at the campfire, bound to have a sleepless night.
The Yunng Swamp at night was drastically different from during the day.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er walked ahead, as after nightfall, the Yunng Swamp changed significantly compared to dayti, sowhat affecting their visibility. Fortunately, Ye Lingyue, now a Third Rank Alchemist, could use her spiritual power to scout within a range of five hundred ters.
Perched on Yun Sheng’s shoulder was the spirited Little Zhiyo, whose bright blue eyes, like two small lanterns, were particularly conspicuous in the dark.
After walking a while, Ye Lingyue suddenly stopped.
She realized sothing was off about the surroundings.
The once pitch-black Yunng Swamp had now transford into a world of vibrant colors.
Through her spiritual power, Ye Lingyue sensed that the dicinal herbs around her had taken on varying hues of green, red, and blue.
Having acquired the Five Elents Jade Engraving, Ye Lingyue understood that on the mainland, whether beasts, plants, or humans, all possessed different attributes.
The colors in these plants should represent their innate primordial power. Not only could she see the colors, but Ye Lingyue could also estimate the approximate age of these plants based on the intensity of their primordial power.
This ability had previously only been possible for her when using the Cauldron Breath technique. However, tonight, rely by harnessing her spiritual power, she was able to discern such details, a significant improvent.
Could it be because the Qian Cauldron had absorbed that piece of the Five Elents Jade Engraving?
Ye Lingyue did not know that within the Five Elents Jade Engraving left by the Grand Ancestor Ye Wuming, there was hidden a very special Spiritual Power Technique called the Elental Observation Technique.
Utilizing this technique, one could distinguish not only attributes and cultivation levels but also detect whether there were cores within beasts and plants.
Ye Lingyue, ever clever, quickly discerned the marvelous uses of the Elental Observation Technique.
Lan Cai’er noticed Ye Lingyue slowing down and thought they might have encountered so beast.
Little did she know, Ye Lingyue suddenly reached out and crushed a red dicinal grass, from which fell a red, fire attribute core.
"It’s a core, Ling Yue, you’re really lucky," Lan Cai’er remarked upon seeing it. Although it was only a First Rank core, such cores were rare and valuable, and could be sold for several gold coins.
After confirming that she could clearly see whether plants and beasts had cores inside them with her spiritual power, Ye Lingyue kept it quiet.
Looking at Lan Cai’er, she noticed the overwhelming Yang Gang Qi around her body, truly a master of Innate Great Success.
The two continued forward.
To Ye Lingyue’s disappointnt, the dicinal herbs and passing beasts in this part of the swamp were weak, mostly without any cores.
Ahead, at the base of the bushes, lay a swamp as vast as a sports field.
By now, it was deep into the night. The two of them crouched, bending low in the bushes, holding their breath.
The surroundings were utterly silent, with only the occasional bubbling swamp gas breaking the quiet with gulps and gurgles.
Around midnight, Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er heard a rustling sound.
"Here it cos, that’s the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider." Following Lan Cai’er’s direction, Ye Lingyue saw a spider appearing ahead.
Ye Lingyue had never seen such a bizarre spider before. It was enormous, about the size of a small lamb, with densely packed bristles on its long legs, making it incredibly agile as it bounced around the swamp.
Positioned on the spider’s abdon was a pattern resembling a woman’s face.
Thus, it was nad the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider. On the body of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider, Ye Lingyue spotted a red Primordial Power, roughly equivalent to a human Martial Artist’s Postnatal Peak cultivation.
"I wonder if this Ghost Lady Swamp Spider carries a Core inside?" It was hard to tell from the surface whether a demon beast had a Core.
"Sister Lan, let try my hand first!" Ye Lingyue had never ambushed and attacked an opponent like this before, and she felt a bit of excitent inside.
Lan Cai’er nodded and stepped aside.
This Ghost Lady Swamp Spider was out for food, unaware that two enemies were hidden in the dark, lying in wait.
Lan Cai’er crouched down, ready to strike directly if Ye Lingyue could not handle it.
Suddenly, with a whoosh of cold light, a dagger flew through the dark night, fiercely stabbing toward the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider.
"Ao!" The Ghost Lady Swamp Spider sharply detected the disturbance.
Its legs suddenly bent, and it leaped into the air, jumping several ters away.
Almost simultaneously, the spider pattern on its belly suddenly lit up, and it spit out a bunch of sticky white webs.
The soft-looking spider silk, upon colliding with the Flying Dagger, made a loud noise.
With a "bang," the Flying Dagger, which could easily cleave a stone, was knocked flying by the spider silk.
By this ti, the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider had already detected the presence of Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er hiding nearby.
It was furious and sprayed out multiple strands of spider silk simultaneously in the air.
The spider silk, like several white whips, struck fiercely.
The bushes where Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were hiding were hit by the spider silk and were flattened instantly as if crushed.
The two leaped up, landing on the swamp, their feet sinking slightly in the soft ground.
Fighting in the swamp slightly impaired both of their powers.
Several flashes of golden light passed, and Dragon Saliva Needles pierced into the body of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider, causing it to scream in pain.
It beca completely immobilized.
Lan Cai’er took the opportunity to step forward and pierced the spider’s abdon with a sword. Ye Lingyue did not make a move because she knew that this Ghost Lady Swamp Spider did not possess a Swamp Spider Core.
With its belly facing up, the spider’s legs twitched, and then it was still.
Lan Cai’er sliced open the stomach of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider and checked, then shrugged slightly in regret.
"No Core, it was all for nothing."
Unexpectedly, just one Ghost Lady Swamp Spider was so difficult to deal with.
This was the first ti Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er had killed an enemy, and they were both slightly out of breath.
Seeing Ye Lingyue retrieve the Dragon Saliva Needles from the body of the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider, Lan Cai’er showed a look of surprise.
"Ling Yue, is this the unique acupuncture technique of your Ye Family?" Lan Cai’er had previously seen Ye Lingyue use this technique on Sha Zhan.
Today, it was equally effective against the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider.
"It’s okay, the night has just begun, and we have plenty of opportunities." Ye Lingyue calmly retreated to one side.
