Volume 2: Flying Universe Squad Chapter 169: Leaked Chapter 44: Ice Spider's Mysterious Thread

  Hu Xiaoyue brought Guo Fei the 200-meter-long black rope and 200 gold coins, and after inquiring, found a small workshop on a side street in Wusong Town, where people made a living by weaving cloth and making clothes.

  Hu Xiaoyue paid two gold coins to have someone help her weave two silk ribbons. When the glaze on the outside of the rope was stripped off, Hu Xiaoyue was shocked to find that the fine threads inside were blue. Moreover, as soon as the glaze was stripped off, a cold air suddenly burst out, instantly covering an area of three meters with a thin layer of ice crystals, and the temperature dropped by tens of degrees in an instant.

  Those ordinary weavers couldn't stand it and fled one after another, leaving only Hu Xiaoyue behind. As a water-attribute cultivator, Hu Xiaoyue not only adapted to this extremely cold object but also emitted dense cold air that was the greatest tonic for her cultivation.

  "What kind of heavenly treasure did the master give me!" Hu Xiaoyue's face suddenly changed, and she quickly circulated her true energy, drawing the cold air into her body. A thick and rich true energy of heaven and earth rushed into her body, making her feel refreshed and clear-headed, and the surrounding cold air gradually dissipated.

  The ropes were slowly unwound, separated and pulled out into thin threads. Although the cold air was absorbed by Hu Xiaoyue, these workers did not dare to touch them with their bare hands. Fortunately, the tools used for weaving do not require skin contact with these fine lines, but only shake the shuttle back and forth on the loom.

  Hu Xiaoyue wound the fine silk onto the spindle herself and had workers help her weave the fabric using a simple loom. After two days and two nights, they wove two strips of silk, each five meters long and ten centimeters wide. However, only half of the 200-meter-long rope was used up.

  Hu Xiaoyue carefully put away the ribbons and walked out of the workshop with a happy heart, entering the town.

  "Ice Spider's Mystic Thread! I never thought I'd encounter such a treasure here." In a small alley, a figure clad in black robes gazed intently at the ribbon in Hu Xiaoyue's hand, their eyes flashing with excitement.

  "What is it that's worth stirring your heart, sir?" A middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a fawning smile said from behind him, craning his neck.

  "Hmph, coming early is not as good as coming at the right time. It's destined that I have this opportunity. Back then in the Western Regions, one or two strands of Hundred Spirit Stone were hard to come by, now it's probably within my grasp. Xiao Hei, isn't your old man very fortunate? Heh heh." The black-robed person let out a self-satisfied soft laugh.

  "The old master has always had a deep and profound blessing, and Little Black has followed you for several years, also gaining a lot of good fortune. He's become more and more prosperous, his cultivation 'shooting up' rapidly. With the old master's good fortune, combined with his wisdom, this time we come to the North, it's possible that we can establish a nation and set up an ancestral temple, achieving an unshakeable foundation for all eternity. At that time, the old master will be revered by millions."

  "Haha!" The man in black suddenly felt a great relief and burst out laughing as if no one was around.

  "Hmph!" Next to the two of them stood another person, wearing a red leather armor and holding a long red spear. His eyebrows were clear and his body was straight, like a sharp spear standing there, giving off an extremely strong sense of beauty. However, his brow was furrowed, hiding deep worries. This person seemed to be extremely disdainful of the flattering words towards Xiao Hei, and involuntarily let out a cold hum.

  "Firearm, it's not the old master who said you, you don't have the slightest bit of a servant's nature, you should learn from Xiao Hei properly, and in the future, you can suffer less." The black-robed man coldly laughed and looked at this person.

  "It can't be done!" said a man named Huo Qiang in a low voice.

  "Hmph. I've seen many tough bones, and in the end, they all knelt before me like dogs. You won't be an exception." The black-robed man's eyes turned cold as he prepared to punish "Fire Gun", but when he looked forward, he saw that the woman holding the Ice Spider Xuan Silk had already walked out of the Five Pine Town gate, and suddenly pointed at Fire Gun.

  "Huoqiang" showed a struggling expression on his face and reluctantly followed quietly.

  "You're so stubborn! I won't spare you if you don't obey!" The man in black robes said coldly.

  "Why should Master get angry with someone who doesn't know the times? Since Xiao Hei followed Master, I realized that there is such a brilliant master in the world. Xiao Hei feels fortunate for three lifetimes, no, ten lifetimes. In my heart, I deeply admire and respect Master..."

  "Haha!" The black-robed man followed closely behind, laughing loudly as he went. His laughter sent chills down people's spines, causing passersby to stare and dodge out of the way. The three of them chased after each other in a line, two in front and one behind.

  Horizontal line

  Although Hu Xiaoyue had transformed into a human, she still didn't have the living habits of humans. As dusk approached, instead of going to find an inn to stay in, she headed towards the market town outside the five trees, accustomed to living in caves, wanting to save a few coins, knowing that Guo Fei's money was hard-earned.

  She walked out of the village for five kilometers, heading north towards the direction of Hei Bi, where she had already made Guo Fei her only reliance. Without Guo Fei by her side, she always felt unsafe and lonely.

  "Someone is following!" Hu Xiaoyue's nose and hearing were extremely sharp, suddenly discovering that someone was following behind, her shadow instantly speeding up. She darted onto the mountain path, rapidly moving forward.

  However, the people behind seemed to be even quicker, closely following, and after half an hour, a red light flashed, someone's foot stepped on the red light, passed by herself, and instantly blocked her way.

  " Yuan Qi Hua Mang!" Hu Xiao Yue's breathing suddenly tightened, looking at the person holding a gun in front of her. She knew that human cultivators could reach the "Yuan Qi Hua Mang" realm meant something, that was opening up the source boundary, cultivating out the yuan qi, which was the cultivation of high-ranking martial artists.

  Not only that, but the black-robed man and a dark-faced middle-aged man also quietly surrounded them. The two men seemed to be no weaker, especially the black-robed man, whose body was filled with a thick aura of evil energy, making Hu Xiaoyue extremely vigilant.

  At this time, the sky had become dark, and a new moon rose from the horizon.

  "A young girl like me has no grudges with you three gentlemen, why are you blocking my way!" Hu Xiaoyue said in a sweet and soft voice, her body swaying gently as if she was trembling with fear, looking pitiful and weak. Although she was wearing a bamboo hat that obscured her face, the three men couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for her.

  "Master, master, mistress... it turns out you're just a weak woman!" Little Hei's mouth was dry and his words were incoherent as he spoke to the black-robed person.

  "Ha, ha, ha." The man in black robes let out a sinister laugh and gave the little black servant a signal.

  "Don't be afraid, little girl. Give us the Ice Spider's mysterious silk in your hand and we won't hurt you." Xiao Hei sneered as he leaned in close to Hu Xiaoyue, reaching out to lift her hood. Hu Xiaoyue let out a startled cry, the hood fell to one side, revealing a stunningly beautiful, delicate and helpless expression. Her charming eyes flashed towards Xiao Hei, and he was instantly stunned on the spot.

  "Hiss!" The silk ribbon in Hu Xiaoyue's hand suddenly flew out, instantly wrapping around Xiao Hei's neck, and with a sudden tug, Xiao Hei let out a muffled cry, his face turned bright red, eyes bulging out, as he frantically shook his head at "Fire Gun".

  Xiao Hei's cultivation was not weak, with a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator's cultivation. His cultivation was even higher than Hu Xiao Yue's. If he were an ordinary martial artist, he would have been able to snap his neck in an instant. But as soon as he was wrapped around by the silk ribbon, the true energy circulating within his body resisted the tearing force of Hu Xiao Yue's ribbon, preventing his throat from being torn apart. However, a dense cold air seeped out of the ribbon and into his body, almost freezing him stiff. Additionally, the ribbon gradually tightened, causing him to nearly suffocate.

  The "Fire Gun" beside him looked at Xiao Hei coldly and didn't seem to have any intention of lending a hand.

  "Fire the gun, take action, capture this little girl alive!" The black-robed man's face turned cold and he said in a low voice.

  The "Fire Spear" raised its long spear with a hint of desperation, suddenly stabbing towards Hu Xiaoyue. The tip of the spear emitted a red glow that was exceptionally dazzling in the night sky, and radiated intense heat.

  Hu Xiaoyue didn't dare to resist, the ribbon suddenly withdrew, and with one kick, Xiao Hei was kicked flying. Her body then rebounded like a willow in the wind, retreating backwards in a fluttering motion, dodging this attack. The red spark shot onto the ground, producing a fierce noise, and igniting a burst of flames.

  Xiao Hei suddenly fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  "Hehehe. You, such a master, bullying me, a weak woman, aren't you ashamed?" Hu Xiaoyue took a look and saw that this person didn't really want her life. This shot seemed fierce but actually had poor accuracy. With such a master, it was impossible to have such poor accuracy, which could only mean one thing - this person intentionally "held back".

  As a fox demon tribe, after transforming into human form, the greatest reliance is on practicing the profound martial arts of the human race and combining it with their own beastly instincts to form a certain advantage. They are different from the ancient giant beasts, which inherently possess extremely fierce and overbearing attacks. The advantage of the fox demon tribe lies in their intelligence and ability to learn, which is the foundation of their survival.

  But at this time, Hu Xiaoyue had just transformed into a human form and was still unfamiliar with martial arts, relying solely on her dancer's intuition to use moves. Moreover, the ribbon was used without any technique or skill, and she could only flee in disarray.
