The Hunt Ends, the Demon Spider Lurks Behind

Su He and Oscar had already locked onto the Dream Tapir in front of them and were about to kill it to make it Oscar's Soul Ring when the Little Scumbag who had been following behind them and spying on them suddenly lost his way in the forest.

"Strange, where did Su He and Oscar go...?"

In the forest, Tang San, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, had already activated his Purple Demon Eye to its maximum, but still could not find any trace of the two, which made Tang San increasingly anxious.

After a fruitless search, Tang San could only dejectedly head back home. Little did he know that behind him, several "eyes" were watching his retreating figure intently.

Follow silently, waiting for the right moment to act.

"Annihilation!"

The Power of Heaven Annihilation flowing from Su He's fingertips transformed into a longbow. With a draw and arrow, an energy arrow shot out like lightning, splitting into four in mid-air, precisely striking the Dream Tapir's limbs before it could even react. Furthermore, Su He's control over the Power of Heaven Annihilation was now far more effortless than before; he could now adjust the proportion of Destruction Divine Power within it to either increase or decrease its destructive force.

The reason he didn't use his Martial Soul was naturally because it would cause too much of a commotion. Even though this was only the habitat of Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Su He was still worried about unforeseen complications. It was now a certainty that the Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest had awakened. Although Su He was confident that he could survive against Xiong Jun, he had no confidence against the Beast God Di Tian.

"Hoo-hoo!~"

The struck Dream Tapir let out a shrill howl. It felt its limbs being constantly assaulted by a terrifying divine force. It panicked and tried to take a step to escape, but found that its limbs were powerless and could only wait helplessly for death.

Su He and Oscar gradually emerged from the darkness of the night, coming into the sight of the Dream Tapir. Seeing the two appear and sensing the aura emanating from Su He, the Dream Tapir knew its death was imminent. It then fixed its gaze on Oscar and, with lightning speed, unleashed a burst of illusory light, swiftly attacking Oscar.

"I was prepared for this move!" Su He sneered, activating her Indestructible Golden Body to block Oscar. The illusory light barely touched the Indestructible Golden Body's defense, rippled outwards, and then disappeared. Su He knew that the illusory light was the Dream Tapir's innate divine ability, Light of Dream, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, so it had no effect whatsoever.

"Roar!~"

Seeing its final counterattack easily blocked, the Dream Tapir roared in despair and helplessness, tears of blood streaming from its eyes.

Seeing this, Oscar looked away with some reluctance, but still picked up his dagger and stepped forward to deliver the final blow to the Dream Tapir.

That's right, he is a Soul Master.

In the Douluo Continent, it is a world of natural selection, where the strong prey on the weak. Weak Soul Master are eaten by Soul Beast and used as nourishment, while powerful Soul Master hunt Soul Beast for Soul Ring. The conflict between the two races has long been irreconcilable. Although Oscar has compassion, he is not a saint.

A purple Soul Ring slowly rose from the Dream Tapir's body. Su He checked it over but found no Soul Bone, and couldn't help but sigh in regret.

After thanking Su He, Oscar sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the Soul Ring. This was not his first time absorbing Soul Ring, so there were no unexpected incidents.

Su He stood quietly to his side, protecting him. This Dream Tapir could provide the latter with a relatively powerful and creative Soul Skill, rather than something so conventional. Among Food Type Soul Master, it was unprecedented and unparalleled.

"Now that this matter is resolved, the goodwill has been established, and it's time to head home..."

Su He misses Qian Renxue.

In the darkness of another part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San, draped in a black robe, was moving quickly and stealthily. Whether it was due to a premonition of danger from the Child of Destiny or some other reason, Tang San noticed the eyes behind him.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow silently appeared in his hand, Tang San's finger gripped the trigger tightly. In an instant, he aimed at the direction behind him, and the swift arrow flew out, cutting through the night.

"Whoosh!"

"Hiss~" As the sound of an arrow piercing the air and striking an object rang out, the howl of an unknown creature came from not far away where Tang San was facing. At this moment, Tang San's mind was in a state of extreme tension.

"It's been taken care of..." Tang San was filled with doubt and surprise. He activated his Purple Demon Eye and squinted at the distance. The identity of the stalker was finally exposed to Tang San's vision.

This is a gigantic spider that resembles a demon, its exoskeleton gleaming, its long legs slender at the tips, each step silently piercing the ground, revealing their sharpness. On the lower abdomen of this enormous spider are some white stripes, forming a stark contrast with its black body. These white stripes form the shape of a ferocious human face, with eight small eyes, gleaming with Youyou purple light, pressed against its lower abdomen.

At that moment, the spider's carapace bore the arrows of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, its eight eyes gleaming with a Youyou light. Tang San's heart sank at the sight; clearly, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow hadn't even penetrated the opponent's armor.

This Man Faced Demon Spider was incredibly large, far exceeding the thousand-year-old demon spider Tang San encountered in the Original Work. It should be noted that if it were just an ordinary thousand-year- Man Faced Demon Spider, Tang San Tang San's Spiritual Power would have been easily detected after following him for so long, highlighting the extraordinary nature of this spider.

That's right, this Man Faced Demon Spider has reached a cultivation level of 9,700 years! It can be considered a true king of demon spiders, even surpassing the Cave Demon Spider that appeared in Sunset Forest along with the cave demon spider in cultivation level.

The Man Faced Demon Spider race can master a unique skill called Concealment upon reaching the age of ten thousand. This skill not only allows them to Concealment their form but also their aura. Clearly, this spider has already begun to master the ability of Concealment, befitting its imminent breakthrough of ten thousand years.

As for why it only followed Tang San without killing him, it certainly wasn't because the demonic spider had taken pity on him; after all, the former was known as Evil Slaughterer.

Cautious, bloodthirsty, greedy... these traits can all be found in this Soul Beast.

This Man Faced Demon Spider King wanted to follow Tang San to the gathering place of Soul Master at the Shrek Academy, where perhaps there would be even bigger prey.

Even with a powerful Soul Master, he couldn't match him; and even Flender was helpless against his attempt to escape using basic Concealment.

I've been extremely busy lately, and I apologize to all my readers. Updates will resume during the winter break.
