Every time Xu Lang wiped out a Snow Spider, the system notification chimed. After walking about a hundred paces, he began to feel puzzled. According to the original plot, Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty encountered only one spider during their entire night at the Samsara Temple, but he had traveled barely a hundred meters and had already slaughtered over a dozen. In the shadows of the ruins, even more Snow Spiders had been struck down by the Golden Silkworm Gu—the count had already reached forty or fifty. Was this number not excessive? Moreover, these Snow Spiders seemed indifferent to Hu Bayi and his companions, swarming only toward Xu Lang. He realized he must be carrying something specific that was drawing them in.
Could it be the essence?
Xu Lang quickly recalled that while in the Insect Valley, the Golden Silkworm Gu had collected a large amount of essence and gathered some leaves and flowers from the Dragon Blood Tree. All these items were toxic; he wondered which one was attracting the Snow Spiders. He tested them one by one and discovered that it was the flowers of the Dragon Blood Tree. The strange fragrance they emitted had never been encountered in the snowy region before. The Snow Spiders were lured precisely by this scent.
