Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1338 Ivan Is Too Vigilant

Ivan happened to come across these silver needles by chance. If it weren't for my keen eyes, I wouldn't have noticed them!

The silver needles were quite peculiar. They floated behind Ivan and gently swayed as if an invisible person was standing there, holding the silver needles and ready to strike.

Just as Ivan was about to shout and warn, he was suddenly silenced by Lilly's spiritual consciousness, which firmly held his chin.

His voice was forcefully suppressed.

His mouth was held shut by an invisible force. Miss Ruler of Hell, help!

He struggled and waved his limbs, and his eyes fixed on Lilly's gaze.

"What's the matter?" She looked puzzled, with her eyes threatening. "Did you see something?"

Ivan wondered what had happened.

Wait... What is happening here? Is the meaning behind Miss Ruler of Hell's gaze telling me not to speak?

For the first time, he felt that his brain was too small and needed improvement.

Lilly also turned around upon hearing the commotion and asked, "What's wrong?"

He was stunned and casually pointed in a direction.

Lilly looked over and saw a woman floating half a meter away. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly threw her axe and swiftly dispersed the woman.

She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but the fact that the woman appeared half a meter away from her without her noticing was unsettling.

Ivan protected Lilly and whispered, "Stay close to me!"

"I feel like something is targeting us, and it's perilous..." He squinted expressionless, but he had already surveyed the surroundings. His voice became even lower, "I feel like someone is hiding in the dark and trying to ambush us."

"Perhaps...that black-robed man arrived here before us?" Lilly looked shocked.

He can even sense someone trying to ambush him? And... Ivan's weapon is the same as Master's. They both use axes.

This was the first time she fought alongside him, so it was the first time she saw his axe.

It differed from Master's axe, dark and exuding a terrifying aura, much more advanced than Master's.

Fortunately, I haven't acted rashly! But this also means that Ivan should be able to cultivate spiritual consciousness, right?

He never expected that the one hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to ambush was not the black-robed man but her.

He had no defenses against her at all. So, he always felt a chilling sense of danger behind him, but he kept his composure and pretended not to notice.

That thing seems very alert, and it remains as steady as a rock without revealing any flaws despite the recent commotion. If only he had spiritual consciousness at this moment! Then, I will be able to see what is happening behind me clearly and not be so passive.

He gritted his teeth and followed Lilly's advice, repeatedly trying to "see" the things behind him. But this feeling was too mystical and too tricky.

The back of a person's head doesn't have eyes, so how can one experience having eyes on the back of their head and actually "see" it? He was completely clueless!

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as that thing moved and swiftly lunged toward him from behind! "Be careful!" He decisively grabbed her and leaped five meters away!

She felt speechless. Oops, that was close.

Since he had sensed her, she had to quickly withdraw her silver needles and move twenty meters away from him.

He frowned. "It went too far."

What kind of thing moves so fast? In just an instant, less than a thousandth of a second, it retreats very far in the blink of an eye.

"It's definitely still here," he said. "I never expected the Nether to be so dangerous."

He furrowed his brow and continued, "Let's go back for now. Going to the Nether might not be a good decision."

As for the Earth Goddess, she could only continue to be tied up.

However, she shook her head. "Ivan, it's okay. I can sense the thing you mentioned."

Just as he was about to ask if her spirit consciousness had detected anything unusual, he immediately asked, "What thing?"

She lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear, afraid that her eyes would give her away, and whispered, "It's a needle."

His expression became severe.

She said, "Ivan, you keep walking, and we'll pretend we don't know anything. I'm confident that my spirit consciousness can detect it... I don't think it's anything powerful as it's just fast."

A needle? A fast needle? Could it be some kind of weapon...

He pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alright."

As he continued to move forward, he whispered, "Powerful weapons have their spirits, especially divine weapons. They definitely have their spirits. This needle might be one, too..." She exclaimed. "A spirit?"

He replied, "Yes. When a weapon develops its consciousness, it will attack others or hide itself to avoid being found when it doesn't have an owner. The weapon with a soul is difficult to control, but once it recognizes its master, it will never be used by anyone else again."

She had an epiphany. "So, the weapon evolves."

He replied, "Well, you're not wrong if you put it that way."
