Volume One

Black Mamba Snake, one of the most terrifying low-level poison-attribute spirit beasts. Su Xing pulled the Desert Eagle from his clothes and fired three shots at the Nether Wolves. Three thunderous blasts immediately rang out through the Soul Hunting Forest. "Bang!" "This is actually a seven-hundred-year spirit beast... a Blood-Devouring Demon Spider!" Fight, fight. It would be best if both of you ended up half-dead. Before long, it sprayed a red spiderweb from its mouth, firmly binding the Black Mamba Snake within it. The Blood-Devouring Demon Spider possessed eight incredibly sharp legs covered in barbs. When attacking enemies, it often used those legs to tear its opponents' bodies apart. Not only was this spirit beast highly venomous, but it also possessed considerable offensive power. For Su Xing, it would be quite suitable as his first spirit ring. But with his current strength, Su Xing clearly found it difficult to confront a seven-hundred-year spirit beast like this head-on. Therefore, he could only find a way to ambush it and rely on the Desert Eagle in his hand to catch it off guard. Only then would he have a chance of winning by surprise. Its venom was extraordinarily terrifying; its poison could directly corrode the muscles of both spirit beasts and humans, and its reaction speed was incredibly fast. Ordinary attacks could not even touch it. "It smells so good. Next time, I'll see if I can get a Soft Bone Rabbit to eat." Su Xing knew at a glance that it had seven hundred years of cultivation because the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider's cultivation age was related to the number of its eyes. For every additional hundred years of cultivation, it grew one more eye. Su Xing drew in a sharp breath and murmured softly. The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes, yet also like leaves rubbing together. As his vigilance deepened, Su Xing slowly rose to his feet and cautiously looked toward the source of the sound. At that moment, Su Xing did not feel the slightest fear because of the strength of these two spirit beasts. Instead, he quietly shifted his feet and slowly approached their location. He then removed the tail, cutting off the Nether Wolf's tail close to its anus. He carefully slit open its belly with a knife and removed all of its internal organs. "Bang!" What appeared not far from the camp was a strange giant spider. "Hisss..." Su Xing sprinkled his body with realgar powder, suppressing his scent to the lowest possible level, then quietly slipped behind a large tree with a good view. Concealed within the dense forest and taking advantage of the terrain, Su Xing could see the two spirit beasts ahead of him. In other words, this snake-type spirit beast, the Black Mamba Snake, had at least seven hundred years of cultivation. It was likewise a rare poison-attribute spirit beast in the Soul Hunting Forest. Su Xing tore off a wolf leg and began chewing it. "Hehe, these two are actually fighting." However, because the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider had a hard shell, the Black Mamba Snake's attack seemed not to have caused it much damage. Instead, it directly enraged it. The Black Mamba Snake was an agility-type, poison-attribute spirit beast. Its cultivation age was related to the length of its body; for every additional hundred years of cultivation, its body grew ten centimeters longer. Looking instinctively toward where the bullets had been fired, Su Xing found that all three shots had hit their targets, striking the heads of the three Nether Wolves. This time, the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider became even faster. Its four front legs, glowing with corrosive purple light, rose again and stabbed toward the Black Mamba Snake at high speed. Its foul-smelling, hideous mouth even wriggled slightly, as though it were brewing something. After draining the Nether Wolf's blood, Su Xing used a dagger to scrape the fur from its flesh. He then made crosswise cuts behind its ears and beneath its jaw, broke its neck joint, and finally completely separated its head from its body. As though it had been corroded by something, it looked somewhat bloody and mangled from afar. By all accounts, it had likely suffered some injuries. "Something's wrong. There seems to be something else." Su Xing strode forward, took a sharp dagger from his Soul Tool, and slit the throats of the three Nether Wolves, thoroughly ending their lives. After completing all these steps, Su Xing lit a small bonfire, skewered the Nether Wolf on a wooden stick, and turned it from side to side as he smoked and roasted it. This Black Mamba Snake was over seven meters long. "Bang!" Next, Su Xing activated his External Spirit Bone and released powerful spiritual power to investigate the direction the sound had come from. He soon discovered the source of it. "Tonight really isn't peaceful. Another seven-hundred-year spirit beast." Half an hour later... Suddenly, a peculiar sound caught Su Xing's attention. Immediately afterward, the three Nether Wolves collapsed to the ground, letting out miserable cries. Blood flowed from their mouths and noses as they struggled desperately, yet they could not get back up no matter what they did. It had seven blood-red eyes on its face. Its body was reddish-brown and covered in a layer of exceptionally bright red armor. Its body measured roughly two meters in diameter. As the three ten-year Nether Wolves died, faint white rings gradually rose from their bodies. The white rings drifted hazily through the air, as though they might dissipate at any moment. Looking warily toward the source of the hissing, Su Xing discovered that among the branches and leaves of the large tree above the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider, a dark triangular snake head was sticking out. It seemed to be confronting the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider. Faintly, the air seemed to carry a few more traces of a fishy stench. Su Xing twitched his nose and blurted out instinctively. Clearly, these were the Nether Wolves' spirit rings. However, because their cultivation had not reached a hundred years, the spirit rings they produced were white. Su Xing would not use their spirit rings to advance; he intended to chop them up and roast them for meat instead. Perhaps because the realgar powder concealed Su Xing's scent, and because there was still a considerable distance between them, the two spirit beasts did not seem to notice his presence. Several of this Blood-Devouring Demon Spider's eyes. A moment later, the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider's eight long legs moved rapidly, leaving a string of afterimages in place. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before the Black Mamba Snake. Its two sharp front legs instantly lifted and stabbed directly toward the Black Mamba Snake's head. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the other Nether Wolves immediately gave up attacking, turned tail, and fled for their lives at top speed, looking somewhat like huskies. The Blood-Devouring Demon Spider possessed extremely potent venom. Its toxin was highly destructive to the nervous systems of both humans and spirit beasts. Once its venom entered the body, the internal organs would cease functioning. Furthermore, its surface was covered by a thick layer of red armor, giving it astonishing defensive power. Ordinary swords and blades could scarcely harm it. The Black Mamba Snake was not only incredibly fast, but also exceptionally agile. With a flick of its body, it dodged the Blood-Devouring Demon Spider's attack and bit it at the same time.
