Mo Fan soon found the dark red woods after following Cao Qinqin’s instructions. The forest was covered in sticky spider webs. It would be extremely difficult to break free from them if he was caught in them.
 

Mo Fan could not help but wonder what Bai Hongfei was doing here.


 

The dark red woods had a strange scent, too. Mo Fan soon saw some spider webs that had been destroyed. The further he went, the more cleared up the area was. He was able to proceed forward smoothly.
 


Moths on the spider webs?
Mo Fan noticed lots of dead moths on the spider webs. Some of the moths were quite huge, the size of bats. They were mostly blue in color. When Mo Fan saw some moths diving at the spider webs, he immediately recalled the appearance of Qinyi Lake, which seemed like it was covered by a blue veil.
 

Bai Hongfei was right. The moths had stopped the water from flowing, but what were they trying to achieve?
 

A strange voice came from the woods. Mo Fan gathered his focus and saw a huge tree suddenly falling to the ground. The huge trunk and the branches immediately fell on top of the dark red shrubs nearby!
 

Mo Fan picked up his pace. He turned into a shadow bird and flew in the direction of the falling tree.

As soon as he arrived, he saw some blood spraying across the air and dyed the leaves of the shrubs red. It was particularly eye-catching.
 


Ahhhh… my arm!
Bai Hongfei screamed in pain.
 

His severed arm fell to the ground. Bai Hongfei grabbed the stump and desperately backed away. He did not even dare retrieve his arm.
 


Bai Hongfei!
Mo Fan was startled.


 

How reckless could the kid be? Why could not he understand how capable he was, going so deep into the woods and provoking such a deadly spider!?
 

Mo Fan had seen the hairy spider. It had the legs and lower body of a spider, but its upper body was densely covered in red skulls. From afar, the red skulls set off the carnelian head on its back. It was oddly spooky!
 


Sir, run away…this thing is too strong!
Bai Hongfei yelled at Mo Fan while gritting his teeth against the tremendous pain.

Bai Hongfei had decided to take out the Carnelian-Head Spider, as he did not want Yu Shishi to sacrifice herself any further. He was an Advanced Mage. He assumed the creature was not too strong, since it was close to the safe zone. He would be able to take care of it by himself.
 

However, Bai Hongfei had thought wrong. The Carnelian-Head Spider was crazily strong. Each of the skulls was able to spit out poisonous silk, making it extremely difficult for Bai Hongfei to do anything.
 

He was already regretting it; he should not have been so full of himself!
 

As soon as Bai Hongfei warned Mo Fan, the creature quickly spat out poisonous silk in all directions as if it understood what they were saying.
 

The poisonous silk spread throughout the woods, covering the trunks, the canopy, and the shrubs, forming a huge spiderweb that would prevent the two humans from escaping. It even covered the space above their heads. They could no longer see the stars!

 


We’re done for!
Bai Hongfei yelled.
 


No, we’re not, get behind me!
Mo Fan snapped.


 


Sir, you don’t stand a chance against it…

 

Bai Hongfei was already an Advanced Mage himself. Even though he was clear that the young mentor was stronger than him, there was no way he could take the Carnelian-Head Spider on alone. They would need a group of Advanced Mages against this Commander-level creature!
 

The Carnelian-Head Spider charged forward after setting up its spider web. The creature’s legs were remarkably strong. They kept flicking the soil into the air as it charged forward. It thrust its sharp and strong front limbs in Mo Fan’s direction!
 


Piss off!
Mo Fan yelled furiously. A fiery dragon coiled around his arm.
 

The fiery dragon surged around Mo Fan’s wrist as he threw a punch. Facing this demon creature that was over twenty meters tall, the flames bursting out of Mo Fan’s fist soared fifty meters high into the air and filled up the space between Mo Fan’s fist and the Carnelian-Head Spider!
 

The flames lit up the woods. An even greater fiery dragon sprang forward and chased after the Carnelian-Head Spider that had been knocked flying. It knocked the Carnelian-Head Spider further into the distance…
 

The woods were densely covered in spider webs, but they soon had a huge clearing that was burning fiercely. The trees along the path of the flames were burned into ashes. The Carnelian-Head Spider was at the end of the trail. Its sturdy dark red armor was severely damaged. It was still burning!
 


This…this…
Bai Hongfei was dumbfounded!
 

Did his mentor just knock the powerful Commander-level Carnelian-Head Spider flying with a single punch?
 

How powerful would the punch have to be? Judging from the Carnelian-Head Spider’s condition, it was not as simple as knocking it into the distance. Mo Fan had actually managed to penetrate its defenses!


 

He had only used a single ability, an ordinary-looking Fiery Fist, but its aura and strength were a lot stronger than the Advanced Spell of the Fire Mages he normally saw!
 


Who would expect to find such a strong Commander-level creature less than fifty kilometers from the safe zone! Give me a few minutes, I’ll take it out first, so it won’t do any harm to the town!
Mo Fan turned around and said to Bai Hongfei.
 

The areas within fifty kilometers of the safe zone were usually patrolled by the army. They were normally referred to as the sub-safe zones. Some important cities requested that not a single demon creature was allowed to exist within their sub-safe zones, not even a Servant-class creature!
 

However, they had ended up stumbling into a Commander-level creature in the sub-safe zone here in Tongxiang. If the Commander-level creature was trying to harm the people in the town, it would be a devastating blow to the town and the villages, which were not heavily guarded.
 

In the past, Bo City was almost wiped out by a single Darkwing Wolf and its tribe!
 


A…a few minutes?
Bai Hongfei had a complicated face after hearing those words.
 

Bai Hongfei saw the young mentor charging at the Carnelian-Head Spider. He felt like his understanding of the world had toppled all of a sudden. Wasn’t a Mage supposed to stay as far away from a demon creature as possible, to ensure they were safe enough to cast their spells? Why was his mentor taking the initiative to get close to the demon creature instead?

Mo Fan was extremely quick, even though he was not using any movement spell. He had grown a lot stronger.
 

When he was thirty meters away from the Carnelian-Head Spider, the creature furiously leapt into the air, and landed on the spider web covering the canopy.


 

It was able to climb freely along the spider web using its legs. The webs further increased its speed!
 


Don’t you dare run away! It’s my first time being a mentor, yet you are showing no respect by trying to kill him. Die!
Mo Fan yelled.
 

Mo Fan turned into a bolt of lightning and rose into the air, making his way toward the canopy layer. The Carnelian-Head Spider seemed to be afraid of Mo Fan’s punch. It quickly dodged aside and ran around in circles.
 

Mo Fan was having trouble landing his lightning on his target. When he decided to use an Advanced Spell, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by silk that had appeared out of nowhere!
 


Trying to trap me here?

 

The Carnelian-Head Spider was very cunning. Even as it was dodging the attacks, it did not stop spitting out the invisible silk. The creature was running around in circles, trying to trap Mo Fan within the layers of silk!
 

Mo Fan found himself in an enclosed spider web. When the Carnelian-Head Spider pulled at the silk, the spider web began to tighten and contract rapidly, enclosing Mo Fan like a cage!
 

—
 


Sir!
Bai Hongfei was startled upon seeing this.
 

The giant spider web did not give Mo Fan any chance to escape. If the Carnelian-Head Spider had used the move against him instead, he would have ended up inside the Carnelian-Head Spider’s stomach as food by now!

While Bai Hongfei was still immersed in shock, he discovered some space ripples not far away. Mo Fan’s blurry outline showed, silver lights gradually dissipating around him.
 

Bai Hongfei was stunned, but immediately looked very happy.
 


Space Element, Blink!
Bai Hongfei did not expect his mentor to be an expert of the Space Element!
 

Mo Fan disregarded the passionate look in Bai Hongfei’s eyes. He lifted his gaze and stared at the Carnelian-Head Spider that was sitting up on the huge spider web and chuckled,
Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellish Flames!

 

After acquiring the Ardent Sunset, his Fire Constellation looked even more stunning and imperious. A brilliant meteorite suddenly swept across the night sky, lighting up the sky and the woods. The meteorite enlarged as it gradually approached the ground. Its burning shadow was looming over the area!
 

The Carnelian-Head Spider was still looking forward to eating the prey it had just caught. To its surprise, the cage made of spider webs was completely empty. It soon realized that it was in a huge trouble when it sensed the scorching heat coming from above it.
 

The Carnelian-Head Spider was unable to escape the Advanced Spell’s huge area of effect in time. The Hellish Flames slammed down, burning the trees that were covered in spider webs to ashes!
 

The Ardent Sunset was a Soul-grade Fire, meaning that it was able to strengthen Mo Fan’s Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellish Flames by two to three times. Even the Commander-level Carnelian-Head Spider stood no chance against the violent flames!
