Chapter 7 Human-Faced Demon Spider
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng made up his mind and prepared to transcend the age limit and absorb the Lightning Leopard's soul ring.
The Titan Ape has just left, and a unique aura still lingers on the path it left behind. There's no need to worry about soul beasts coming to harass us for a while, but things might change if it goes on for too long.
Chen Feng was never an indecisive person. After making up his mind, he immediately killed the unconscious Lightning Leopard, then sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring.
……
On the other side of the Starry Sky Forest.
"No! Xiao Wu—"
Tang San forced himself to get up despite the excruciating pain, trying to stand up, but then coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Don't be impulsive, mistress!"
Zhao Wuji got up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his whole body covered in dirt.
Just now, the Titan Ape, the king of the forest, suddenly appeared here and kidnapped Xiao Wu. Zhao Wuji wanted to save her but was powerless to do anything about it, let alone anyone else.
"Hey Xiao Ao, if you still consider me a brother, give me a mushroom sausage."
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to drip blood.
Oscar could sense a chilling aura emanating from Tang San, but he still advised, "Little San, Teacher Zhao is right, please don't act impulsively!"
"Xiao Ao, I know exactly what I'm doing. If someone you care about were taken away, what would you do? Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I'll try. Please."
Oscar glanced at Ning Rongrong and sighed, "Alright then!"
As a man, he understood Tang San's feelings. If Ning Rongrong had been captured, Oscar felt he would have done the same, even though he was just a food-type support soul master.
"Thanks." Tang San swallowed the mushroom sausage, and illusory wings appeared behind him, allowing him to take flight.
Zhao Wuji asked in surprise, "Tang San! What are you going to do?"
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhao, but I have to do this. Even if Xiao Wu is dead, I have to find her body."
After Tang San finished speaking, his wings flapped slightly, and he chased after the Titan Giant Ape in the direction it had left.
"The Seven Treasures have names, the second of which is: Speed." Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out, and a dazzling light fell on Tang San, making his speed instantly become lighter.
"Tang San, go quickly! I support you. You must find Xiao Wu. She's my good sister too." Ning Rongrong was completely oblivious to Zhao Wuji's murderous gaze.
"You, you all..." Zhao Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak. This was ridiculous!
Don't you have any idea how dangerous the Star Dou Great Forest is?
Oscar smiled wryly and said, "Teacher Zhao, you saw how anxious the mistress is. Even if we don't support him, he'll probably walk there anyway. Xiao Wu's life is uncertain, and I completely understand how he feels. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
"What's so strange! Hurry up and get me that mushroom sausage again. Since we're all going all out, let's all go after them! Anyone who wants to leave, get out of the Star Dou Great Forest right now!" Zhao Wuji roared angrily, but everyone felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
Fatty Ma Hongjun objected, "Teacher Zhao, this is practically kidnapping me! I can't refuse to go!"
Before Zhao Wuji could even open his mouth to reprimand him, Dai Mubai sneered, "Hmph! Fatty, I knew you wouldn't want to go. How could someone like you, who's so obsessed with brothels, understand the importance of feelings?"
"Pah! Dai Mubai, don't just talk about me, you're no better than me. Finding two at once, and twins at that, you've got more tricks up your sleeve than I do!" the fat man retorted defiantly.
"Uh..." Dai Mubai was speechless for a moment, and looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a sullen expression.
Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and glared at him fiercely.
Zhao Wuji glared at him and said, "Enough nonsense! Those who are going to rescue people, hurry up and follow. I won't stop anyone who wants to leave."
After saying that, he swallowed a mushroom sausage and took to the air to chase after the direction where Tang San had disappeared.
The others exchanged glances and then followed.
In the Starry Sky Forest.
Tang San leaned against a large tree, panting heavily.
The mushroom sausage's effect lasted only a minute, but after flying several thousand meters, it landed. For the rest of the journey, he could only use his soul power to activate the Purple Demon Eye and try his best to follow the movement tracks left by the Titan Giant Ape.
This was undoubtedly a huge drain on his physical strength. Tang San couldn't help but think that if a soul beast appeared at this moment, it would undoubtedly be a disaster that would lead to his annihilation.
After surveying the surrounding terrain, Tang San sat down, took out a water pouch from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlight, and began gulping down water.
No one was sure if he would encounter a soul beast; he just wanted to wait for his soul power to recover before continuing his search.
"Rustle... rustle..."
Suddenly, a faint sound rang out.
It sounded like leaves rubbing against each other, but it was somewhat heavy, and at the same time, a faint smell of decay wafted over.
Tang San slowly stood up, his heart filled with vigilance, and cautiously looked behind him.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the culprit behind the commotion.
A large black spider, nearly two meters in diameter, hung upside down between two ancient, sturdy trees. Its sharp legs were deeply embedded in the wood, and a viscous liquid flowed from its mouthparts.
A pale human face appeared on his lower abdomen, with eight dark eyes coldly staring at Tang San, clearly regarding him as prey.
"Human-faced Demon Spider!"
Tang San gasped, instantly recognizing the soul beast.
A killer of weak soul beasts, a being that devours life, an evil being that even soul beasts despise.
Legend has it that when the human-faced spider feeds, it does not kill its prey directly, but instead traps it and slowly sucks out its bone marrow by inserting its mouthparts into it.
In short, falling into the hands of such a soul beast is ten thousand times more painful than having any hope at all.
"brush--"
The human-faced demon spider slashed its legs and lunged at Tang San, a stench wafting directly towards him.
In a flash, Tang San rolled away, and at the same time, the Blue Silver Grass's binding skill was activated, and countless thick Blue Silver Grass instantly wrapped around the body of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
It was during this pause that Tang San noticed that only four of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eight legs remained; the other four had vanished, as if severed by some sharp weapon, and were oozing foul-smelling black blood.
Tang San was secretly alarmed. This human-faced demon spider's cultivation was more than a thousand years. Fortunately, it was injured, otherwise, it would probably have succeeded just now!
"Squeak—"
Having missed its first attack, the human-faced spider became somewhat impatient. It turned around, and even with only four spider legs left, it still held a clear advantage in speed.
A flash of black light appeared in Tang San's hand, accompanied by a heavy aura. The Clear Sky Hammer materialized in his palm, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Human-Faced Demon Spider the moment it pounced.
Just then, a rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
"Da da da..."
Upon hearing the footsteps, the human-faced spider froze as if it were a mouse seeing a cat, and then began to tremble slightly.
"bass--"
Immediately afterwards, Tang San saw a blue figure flash by like lightning, and the sharp sword light instantly severed the remaining four legs of the Human-Faced Demon Spider!
