Man Faced Demon Spider
The five of them found the best inn in a small town and stayed there, indulging themselves for five days.
The room was the largest in the guesthouse, and the bed was very big, but it was still a bit cramped for five people to lie down on.
Tang San slept in the middle, with one hand supporting each of them, looking quite comfortable.
Tang San also used all his skills to treat the four of them well.
However, the specific process cannot be described in detail.
During the day, the five of them slept until they naturally woke up, and then went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, the five of them went to stroll around the town.
In the afternoon, we returned to the inn, sat together to drink tea and chat, and played some games that were only for the five of us.
In short, the five days and five nights of indulgence allowed all five of them to recover their energy.
The fatigue on my face vanished, replaced by a long-lost sense of ease and satisfaction.
After resting, they set off for Death Canyon.
Death Canyon is not far, only a few days' journey away.
The five of them headed south, crossing several wastelands and climbing over several hills, where the air began to become humid and muggy.
They have reached the outskirts of Death Canyon.
Death Canyon is very large, stretching for hundreds of miles.
A putrid stench permeated the air, making one dizzy and requiring constant circulation of Soul Power to resist its corrosive effects.
Once inside the canyon, the ground beneath your feet is soft humus, making no sound when you step on it.
On the mountain walls on both sides, caves can be seen from time to time, and faint rustling sounds can be heard from inside the caves, which are the sounds of poisonous insects crawling.
Visible toxic fumes drifted in the air, like a thin veil enveloping the entire canyon.
The five people's Soul Power circulated within their bodies, isolating them from the poisonous mist.
They ventured deep into Death Canyon for over half a month.
The deeper you go into the canyon, the dimmer the light becomes, the thicker the poisonous fog grows, and visibility drops to less than fifty meters.
The canyon is teeming with poisonous insects, snakes, and spiders.
At first, there were only Soul Beasts with a cultivation level of a few hundred to a few thousand years, but as the group went deeper, Soul Beasts with a cultivation level of tens of thousands of years began to appear.
Tang San used his Blue Silver Domain to sense the way, trying his best to avoid unnecessary trouble, reduce the number of battles, and conserve his physical strength and Soul Power to deal with any powerful Soul Beasts that might appear.
Even so, Tang San would be attacked by many Soul Beasts as soon as he relaxed his guard.
However, after two years of life-and-death experience, the five of them reacted extremely quickly and cooperated perfectly, managing to turn danger into safety every time.
Finally, near the center of the canyon, they successfully found the ideal target Soul Beast.
It was an enormous spider, larger than a carriage, with eight legs that stretched out to six or seven meters long, each leg resembling a sharp scythe.
Its entire body was covered in purplish-black carapace, and the human face pattern on its abdomen was particularly clear, like a hideous human face with distorted features and a strange smile on its lips, which sent chills down one's spine at first glance.
It lingered in a clearing in the center of the canyon, surrounded by the skeletons of various Soul Beasts, some of them, and some of them human.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood, mixed with the acrid odor of poisonous fog, making one want to vomit.
This is a 40,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider, with terrifying strength.
Based on the cultivation level of human Soul Masters, an ordinary 40,000-year-old Soul Beast is equivalent to a high-level Soul Saint.
However, the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom and defense are top-tier among Soul Beasts, and its strength is at least equivalent to that of a Soul Douluo- level powerhouse.
The group practically used every trick in the book.
Tang San unleashed his Blue Silver Overlord Spear, clashing against the spider legs of the Man Faced Demon Spider, producing a series of clanging metallic sounds.
At the same time, Blue Silver vines flew out from his palm, Entanglement and binding the Man Faced Demon Spider layer by layer, attempting to restrict its movements.
However, the spider legs of the Man Faced Demon Spider were extremely sharp, and with all eight legs swinging at the same time, it severed the Blue Silver vines.
Tang San had no choice but to switch to using the Clear Sky Hammer to counterattack.
He unleashed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, hammering one blow after another onto the Man Faced Demon Spider's carapace and legs.
The Man Faced Demon Spider sensed the terrifying power of the Clear Sky Hammer and was enraged.
It opened its mouth and spewed out a huge spider web, which was purplish-black and emitted a thick poisonous mist.
A spider web enveloped the five people.
Tang San immediately unleashed the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Shock Formula.
A shockwave erupted from the hammerhead, shattering the spiderweb into pieces.
The battle has reached a stalemate.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's defense was too strong, its poison resistance too high, and its speed too fast. Although the five of them could suppress it, it was difficult to deliver a fatal blow.
Finally, Tang San had no choice but to use "Annihilation Light," which accurately struck the head of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's body suddenly stiffened, all eight legs stopped moving at the same time, and it swayed from side to side, falling into a brief state of dizziness.
Shui Bing'er seized the opportunity and unleashed her Ice Seal skill.
Immediately afterwards, the Ice Phoenix Breath, sending a white, icy blast straight towards the head of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The icy air struck its target, freezing the Man Faced Demon Spider's head into a lump of ice.
Dugu Yan seized the opportunity, jumped onto its back, and thrust out Eight Spider Lances at the same time, piercing the gaps in the head carapace of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
This time, Dugu Yan stabbed very deeply, activating the Devouring skill of the Eight Spider Lances, frantically absorbing the energy of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
At the same time, Xiao Wu activated the Bone Shadow Lock, paralyzing the Man Faced Demon Spider's ability to move.
After Xiao Wu's Bone Shadow Lock expired, Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal took over, keeping the Man Faced Demon Spider unable to move and forcing it to watch helplessly as it was devoured by the Eight Spider Lances.
The Eight Spider Lances have a very strong ability to devour, especially against the Man Faced Demon Spiders of the same origin.
In just a moment, the 40,000-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider withered and died.
Dugu Yan retrieved her Eight Spider Lances, and with a flick of her spider legs, severed the last vestige of life force from the Man Faced Demon Spider.
A black Soul Ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
In the end, the five of them fought with all their might and barely managed to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The battle lasted for a full hour and was extremely loud.
Tang San dared not relax. He frowned and said, "Leng Leng, use your Fifth Soul Skill to quickly heal Sister Yan. We don't have time to adjust and recover. Such a commotion will likely attract the attention of others. We must absorb the Soul Ring as soon as possible and leave."
Ye Lingling nodded and immediately used her Fifth Soul Skill on Dugu Yan. The light of the Nine Heart Begonia Emperor enveloped Dugu Yan, and she recovered a lot of her condition in just a few breaths.
At the same time, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to transform into sharp blades and carefully dissected the corpse of the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Soon, he felt himself touch a hard, warm object.
Tang San took the object out of the corpse.
"Soul Bone!" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.
It was a right arm bone, of very high quality.
The right arm bone radiated a purplish-black light, warm and gentle, like a polished gemstone.
Everyone showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Tang San cleaned the Soul Bone and handed it to Dugu Yan, saying, "Yan Yan, put the Soul Bone away first, and absorb it in a safe place later."
Dugu Yan nodded, put the Soul Bone into her Storage Soul Tool, and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the Soul Ring.
The energy of the Soul Ring was immense and violent, carrying the ferocity and toxicity unique to the Man Faced Demon Spider, rampaging through Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead, sweat pouring down her face, and a hint of pain flashed in her emerald green eyes.
But she gritted her teeth and guided, compressed, and fused that energy little by little, and her Soul Power continued to rise.
Tang San and the others vigilantly observed their surroundings, activating their Blue Silver Domain to sense any movement within a one-kilometer radius, ready to deal with any danger at any time.
