Chapter 1658 - 1623: Entering the Spider Cave for Treasure

The Spider King never expected that Yang Xiao would actually not dodge at all, directly taking its full-force stab and yet showing no signs of injury.

By the time the Spider King realized this problem, it was already somewhat late.

Yang Xiao chuckled and hurled a punch forward,

The Spider King, in self-defense, suddenly spat out a stream of green poison liquid.

As soon as the green poison liquid emitted, it transformed into a jetting fountain, spraying towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao seemed to have anticipated that the Spider King would use this move,

With a "buzz," he activated a Defense Light Screen, blocking it in front of him.

With a "hiss," all the poison liquid sprayed onto the Defense Light Screen.

Yang Xiao roared in anger, and the Defense Light Screen suddenly covered over the Spider King, reflecting all the poison liquid back onto the Spider King's body.

Caught off guard, the Spider King stumbled several meters backward in panic.

Yang Xiao rushes forward like lightning, aiming a fierce punch at the Spider King's head.

In its disarray, the Spider King instinctively raised its two front claws to resist.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion,

The Spider King's two front claws broke instantly, splattering meat paste like thick juice.

With a miserable scream, the Spider King retreated tens of meters backward.

Yang Xiao leaped high into the sky, then suddenly descended from mid-air, slamming towards the Spider King's back below.

"Bang!"

Yang Xiao's blow punched a hole into the hard shell of the Spider King's back.

"Oww—"

The Spider King screamed miserably, its remaining five claws suddenly went limp, and its massive body collapsed to the ground.

Yang Xiao stood on the Spider King's back, performing a fist ready to strike down again.

"Spare me!"

The Spider King shouted in panic,

"Spare my life, I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

Yang Xiao withheld his fist, standing on the Spider King's back, and said:

"Since you admit defeat, I don't want to take your life, do you know what to do next?"

"I know, you want the treasure sealed in the Spider Cave, don't you? I'll take you to get it."

"You better not try any tricks, or I can kill you at any time."

"I wouldn't dare, I've already learned how formidable you are, I won't resist anymore, believe me."

After a battle, the Spider King's three claws were broken, and its back was heavily injured with a hole by Yang Xiao. If it didn't concede and seek timely treatment, death was inevitable.

In the face of death, any treasure becomes meaningless.

Yang Xiao's fiercely overpowering attack also completely subdued the Toad King.

The Toad King stood in the distance, watching Yang Xiao's combat power, its body slightly trembling, a chill in its heart, and said to the Sky Wolf King:

"Where did you encounter such a powerful human?"

The Sky Wolf King laughed:

"He's my benefactor, an ally to our Sky Wolf Clan."

"A benefactor? Hmph, don't you know why humans enter the Ancient Continent? It's merely for the treasure of the Ancient Continent."

"So what? Don't the demon beasts of the Ancient Continent often fight for territory and resources, same as humans? What's the difference?"

The Toad King glanced at the Iron Chain King, saying nothing further.

With such a powerful human friend like Yang Xiao, the Sky Wolf Clan naturally wouldn't dare offend him. After all, the Toad King's purpose was to obtain the golden feather of Yang Xiao's Wind Eagle Beast, other matters were irrelevant to it.

Yang Xiao jumped down from the Spider King's back and said to the Toad King:

"Toad King, I need to enter the Spider Cave with the Spider King. Please have your people seal off the entrance, preventing other Spider Demon Beasts from entering."

The Toad King immediately replied:

"Alright, rest assured, I won't let any Spider Demon Beasts enter."

The Sky Wolf King also said:

"Benefactor, you can rest assured, I'll keep watch outside."

Yang Xiao nodded and said to the Spider King:

"Lead the way, remember, if you make any suspicious moves, I'll kill you first. I can do without the treasure."

At this moment, the Spider King was completely intimidated by Yang Xiao, and it quickly said:

"Rest assured, I won't resist you, hero!"

The Spider King shrank its body slightly and led Yang Xiao into the Spider Cave.

The cave was pitch black, the Spider King moved around in the dark, while Yang Xiao took out a flashlight-like tool, following behind the Spider King.

The path was winding, coupled with the damage Yang Xiao had caused, making the journey less smooth.

After about half an hour, the Spider King brought Yang Xiao to the core area of the Spider Cave, the Spider Nest, where the Spider King usually resided.

"Where's the sealed treasure?"

The Spider King pointed to the ground at the center of the cave and said;

"Dig up the ground here."

Currently, a layer of rubble was piled up on the ground, debris that had fallen from above when Yang Xiao previously damaged the Spider Cave, quite a substantial amount.

Yang Xiao stood aside and said,

"Then please, excavate the ground."

The Spider King looked at Yang Xiao with a grieving expression and helplessly began removing the central rocks with its claws, pushing the debris to the sides.

More than ten minutes later, the ground rubble was finally cleared, revealing the ground underneath.

The Spider King stabbed into the hard ground and gently lifted it, causing a stone slab about two meters in diameter to pivot up, uncovering a cavity beneath.

"The item is in the cavity."

"Bring it out for me."

The Spider King glanced at Yang Xiao, extended its claw once more, and pulled out a black box from the cavity, placing it in front of Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao examined it; the square box was about half a meter each side, a faint glow on its exterior.

"Is this the sealed treasure you mentioned?"

"Indeed, don't you have the Jade Pendant to unseal it? Just open it to see."

Yang Xiao was taken aback and asked:

"You can't open it?"

The Spider King smiled wryly and said:

"If I could open it, I would have by now; there'd be no need to wait for you to come."

"You don't even know what this treasure is?"

The Spider King shook its head.

"Then why are you guarding it?"

The Spider King suddenly laughed and said:

"Looks like you really don't know the origin of the Ancient Continent's treasure."

"I truly don't know, so, do you know? Tell me then."

The Spider King nodded and suddenly said:

"I've heard that you humans have Special Effect Elixirs for healing wounds, could you give me one? I... I am quite seriously injured."

The Spider King raised its two broken front claws, waving them in front of Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, took out a Healing Elixir from his Space Ring, and tossed it to the Spider King.

The Spider King caught the Healing Elixir, immediately placing it in its mouth, feeling a warm stream enter its body, relieving much of the pain.

"Thank you!"

"Stop wasting time, hurry up and tell me."

"Hmm, actually, this is also something my ancestors told me, many years ago, a disaster struck the Ancient Continent, the Hengguang Empire experienced civil war, countless humans perished, and our demon beasts seized the opportunity to rise, overthrowing human rule and slaughtering humans in large numbers,
