Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping nodded.

Then he slashed out with a "swish" of the knife, cutting off the spider thread hanging on the man.

The Blood Demon Spider on the spider web above seemed to sense the dangerous aura, and no longer stopped, running quickly towards the mountain forest along the spider web above.

"Taoist Master, we can't... we can't let that Blood Demon Spider escape, it will... it will report to the other Blood Demon Spiders and the Young Master of the Blood Spider Valley!"

The weak Cao Qianhu reminded Xu Taiping with great difficulty.

"Do not worry."

Xu Taiping nodded, then stretched out a hand, put his thumb on his middle finger, and at the moment when a ball of flame escaped from his nails, he flicked it in the direction of the blood spider's escape.

"boom!"

The flame was ejected from Xu Taiping's fingertips and shot straight towards the blood spider.

After the flames hit the blood demon spider, it exploded and turned into a ball of raging flames.

In just an instant, the blood spider and the small forest were burned to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the stunned Cao Qianhu's throat twitched and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Are you, are you, a monk?"

He asked the young man with a hint of fear in his voice.

Xu Taiping did not answer, but took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and then took out a vermilion pill and handed it to the guard:

"Xiao Huan Dan can restore Qi and blood. Take it."

The guard was stunned for a moment, then took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Huan Dan is a pill distributed by Qing Xuan Sect to the inner disciples. It only has the function of healing injuries and restoring Qi and blood, and is of little use to Xu Taiping today.

But for the guard, it was undoubtedly an elixir.

After taking a pill, his originally weak energy and blood were replenished, and the injuries on his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you so much, Taoist Priest, for giving me the precious medicine!"

The guard thanked Xu Taiping with a frightened look on his face.

"Are you the sixth princess's guard?"

Xu Taiping shook his head and asked.

"Yes, my name is Cao Yan. They all call me Cao Qianhu. I am His Highness's personal bodyguard during this trip."

Cao Qianhu nodded vigorously.

"What's the situation inside Mantuo Villa now?"

Xu Taiping handed another water bag to Cao Qianhu.

Before going in to rescue the sixth princess, he had to first understand the situation inside.

"Thank you, thank you, Taoist priest."

Cao Qianhu quickly took the water bag, and after drinking a few sips of water, he quickly replied:

"Yesterday evening, people from the Blood Spider Valley surrounded the entire Mantuo Villa. There were blood spider threads everywhere inside and outside the Villa. There was no way to escape."

"And the young master of the Blood Spider Valley threatened His Highness the Sixth Princess with the lives of everyone in the villa, so that Her Highness would agree to marry him today."

"Of course we didn't agree, but the blood demon spiders in the Blood Spider Valley were too powerful, especially the one next to the young master of the Blood Spider Valley, which ate more than ten of our guards in a row. His Highness couldn't bear it, and finally agreed to the blood spiders. The young master of Spider Valley.”

Cao Qianhu briefly told Xu Taiping with a look of shame.

"Why does the young master of Blood Spider Valley want to marry the sixth princess at this time?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

"Because, because His Highness once took a fairy medicine given by the immortal on the mountain when she was young, many people said that as long as she married His Highness and did those dirty things, they could take away the fairy power in His Highness's body for their own use. , transform the mortal into an immortal, and live forever from now on.”

Cao Qianhu explained hesitantly.

"There is no such elixir in this world. Even if there is, it is not something that ordinary people can take."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue's voice suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.

"I'm afraid this is just a rumor deliberately spread by your Highness's enemies."

Xu Taiping asked Cao Qianhu.

Cao Qianhu had just taken a sip of water. When he heard this, he immediately wiped his mouth vigorously, then nodded and said: "Yes, there are people who want to use the hands of these quacks and evil heretics to deal with His Highness."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Although he still had a lot of confusion in his heart, it was obviously not the time to ask such questions at this moment.

"Are you going in with me or waiting here?"

He took the water bag that Cao Qianhu handed back and asked him.

"This Immortal Chief, inside and outside Mantuo Villa, has been surrounded by blood demon spiders and people from Blood Knife Valley. Among them is a blood demon spider at the level of a demon king. Immortal Chief, even if you are not afraid of those people from Blood Knife Valley, But that Demon Lord-level Blood Demon Spider and the other dozen or so ordinary Blood Demon Spiders are definitely not something you, the Immortal Chief, can handle alone. Therefore, I suggest that you, the Immortal Chief, go with me to Blackstone Town to find reinforcements. Then we will discuss the matter of rescuing His Highness.”

Cao Qianhu mustered up the courage to persuade Xu Taiping.

"Then you wait here."

Xu Taiping did not refute Cao Qianhu, but handed the reins of the horse to Cao Qianhu and said:

"Look after my horse again."

After saying this, he held Chunhu on his waist and walked straight into the valley.

Cao Qianhu's suggestion is naturally pertinent, but if you do that, the chance of the Sixth Princess getting into an accident will obviously increase by several percent. Xu Taiping's main task during this trip is to escort the Sixth Princess, so he would rather take risks than I don't want to increase the chance of the Sixth Princess getting into an accident.

"Chief Immortal, I, I'd better go with you!"

Seeing that Xu Taiping was determined to go, Cao Qianhu knew that persuasion was useless, so he led his horse and followed him.

Xu Taiping did not stop him and allowed him to follow behind him.

"Oh, there are reinforcements?"

As soon as the two entered the depths of the valley, they saw a group of people from the Blood Spider Valley rushing out of the forest with two blood demon spiders.

"Master, I will ride the horse to lead them away, you continue to move forward."

Captain Cao immediately jumped on the horse and drew the long sword from his waist.

It must be said that this person is still very decisive. After deciding to assist Xu Taiping, he stopped nagging.

"No need, just wait on the side."

Xu Taiping shook his head, then put his hand on the handle of the Chunhu Knife, leaned forward slightly and said:

"I just borrowed them to try the knife."
