Chapter 65

Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the forest and creating a shimmering effect as the leaves swayed, adding a touch of vitality.

If it weren't for the densely packed black cave spiders crawling on the ground, it would have been perfect.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you, but can I ask you some questions?" A gentle voice echoed in the cave spider's mind.

"It's mental energy; this person has the strength of a third-rank peak." The cave spider thought as it looked at the human who had suddenly appeared before it.

"Mental Piercing." The cave spider took the initiative, using its ability to launch an attack on Lin Fei.

Bang, bang, bang. The needle-like mental energy, just as it was about to strike Lin Fei, was suddenly blocked by an invisible giant shield, all of it being stopped.

"How is this possible!" The cave spider exclaimed in shock upon seeing its ultimate move being completely blocked.

"Can't we just talk properly? Attacking right away, you spirit realm beasts are really impolite!" Lin Fei shook his head and said to the cave spider.

"Politeness is a two-way street." Lin Fei said in a refined manner, then extended his left hand, and scorching flames erupted from it, instantly killing most of the small spiders behind the cave spider. The few surviving small spiders scattered in all directions.

The cave spider quickly crawled towards Lin Fei, spitting out a large amount of silk from its mouth. Seeing the sticky silk flying towards him, Lin Fei felt a wave of disgust and quickly dodged to the side.

The cave spider kept spitting silk at Lin Fei, who swiftly dodged. In no time, the surrounding trees and grass were covered with white spider silk.

"Are you done yet!" Lin Fei flashed to the side of the cave spider and kicked the 3-meter-long giant spider to one side with great force.

Bang! The cave spider's body flew through the air, crashing into and breaking a tree as thick as a person's embrace. Just as it was about to get up, a tree as thick as two people flew towards it, striking its body repeatedly.

"Be polite, you know? You shouldn't attack right away." Lin Fei used his telekinetic power to control the tree, striking the cave spider as he spoke.

After a while, the cave spider could no longer hold out and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Stop, stop." The cave spider's physical strength was relatively weak compared to other beasts. Under Lin Fei's continuous beating, the intense pain forced it to beg for mercy.

Hearing the cave spider's submission, Lin Fei stopped the beating.

"Alright, now I ask, you answer. If you hide anything, don't blame me for being impolite." Lin Fei threatened the cave spider.

"Okay, I understand." The cave spider replied weakly, lying on the ground.

"Earlier, I heard you talking to that scorpion-tailed lion. How strong is the leader it mentioned?" Lin Fei asked.

"The Red-Armored Dragon leader is stronger than our leader, almost breaking through to the mid-fourth rank." The cave spider replied.

"Do you know how strong the strongest beast is?" Lin Fei asked.

"The strongest is our lord, who has the strength of the fifth rank. I don't know the exact stage, but that's what our leader said. I don't know anything stronger." The cave spider answered honestly.

"Little spider! Why are you invading Blue Star? The spirit energy concentration in your spirit realm is several times higher than on Blue Star!" Lin Fei asked.

"Blue Star? What's that?" The cave spider asked in confusion.

"It's the world the portal leads to, and it's also my homeland." Lin Fei explained.

"We are after spirit energy minerals. In a newly formed spirit energy world, many spirit energy veins form with the birth and explosion of spirit energy, which is a huge wealth." The cave spider revealed all the information it knew.

"Often, I hear you mention leaders and the lord. What do these represent in your beasts?" Lin Fei continued to ask.

"The lord rules many territories, the leader rules one territory, and the head rules one area." The cave spider answered honestly.

"This is very similar to the feudal system of ancient humans!" Lin Fei muttered to himself.

"Last question, how did you know I was human just by seeing me? You shouldn't have seen me before!" Lin Fei asked a question he had been curious about.

"Well, in the spirit realm, there's a saying that hairless monkeys are called humans, and the human world is full of spirit energy minerals." The cave spider hesitated but still revealed this saying.

Hearing the cave spider's explanation, Lin Fei's lips twitched.

"Hairless monkeys are humans? The human world is full of spirit energy minerals? I don't know how to explain the first part, but I haven't noticed Blue Star being full of spirit energy minerals." Lin Fei thought.

"Little spider, don't believe rumors. The idea that the human world is full of spirit energy minerals is a complete lie. In your next life, study hard and strive for progress every day. Be a cultured and knowledgeable spider, and don't just follow what others say." Lin Fei said earnestly to the cave spider.

"Next life?" The cave spider thought, preparing to speak, but found its feet frozen by ice. Then its entire body was quickly encased in ice.

"Damn human!" The cave spider's final thought was frozen forever by the ice.

Looking at the third-rank peak cave spider frozen in ice, Lin Fei nodded in satisfaction. This was the last third-rank beast in the Eagle-Headed Turtle territory.

Lin Fei checked the direction and pursued the scorpion-tailed lion that had left earlier.

"Head, our leader already knows about the world portal in the Eagle-Headed Turtle territory. Why did he send us here today?" A small scorpion-tailed lion asked in confusion.

"This is called courtesy before force. At the leader's level, face is very important. Declaring war without cause would greatly damage his reputation among the other leaders." The scorpion-tailed lion head explained.

"I see, the head thinks deeply." The subordinate flattered.

"The Eagle-Headed Turtle leader wants to monopolize the resources. Our Red-Armored Dragon leader already knows. Now, let them lead the way to that world and hopefully lose some strength. Then our leader can take advantage of the situation and easily obtain a large amount of spirit energy minerals." The scorpion-tailed lion said proudly to its subordinate.

"Our leader is wise and valiant. Our Red-Armored Dragon territory will eventually surpass all other territories." The subordinate quickly praised.

"Alright! Be low-key, be low-key. We need to return immediately and report today's situation to the leader. Let's see what the leader has planned next." The scorpion-tailed lion, though excited, spoke calmly to the subordinate.

"Yes, everyone, stay alert and return quickly. The leader is waiting for our news!" The scorpion-tailed lion's subordinate immediately called out to the others.
