Tang San Appeared Out of Nowhere and Shot the Man Faced Demon Spider

It was at that moment that Shiyu sensed an abnormal spatial fluctuation. More precisely, something unusual had appeared in the space in one particular direction.

Acting entirely on instinct, he thrust forcefully toward that direction, using Spatial Energy to block the incoming metal arrow.

Shiyu was struck by a powerful force, and his body moved beyond his control until he crashed into a tree.

The incoming metal arrow hovered before him, completely stopped by the Spatial Power he had wielded.

"Why did you ambush me?" Shiyu demanded angrily, looking in that direction.

A youth of twelve or thirteen walked out from there, holding a metal object in his right hand.

"This Man Faced Demon Spider is quite suitable as my Soul Ring. I hope you can let me have it," Tang San said, attempting to negotiate with Shiyu.

"You call this negotiating for the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring?" Shiyu's expression darkened. It had been obvious that the other party had just tried to kill him.

Only because his reaction had been fast enough and his strength great enough had he escaped disaster.

If he had reacted even a little slower, he might have been shot dead by that metal arrow.

Wait... a metal arrow?

Shiyu suddenly realized something. He carefully examined the youth across from him, especially the metal object in his hand. It looked somewhat like a crossbow.

"What's your name?" Shiyu asked, a bold suspicion forming in his mind.

Tang San frowned, unsure why the other party had suddenly asked that, but he still answered, "Tang San."

It really was Tang San... Shiyu's heart shook as he once again surveyed his surroundings, focusing on the Man Faced Demon Spider lying motionless on the ground.

A forest... Tang San... a Man Faced Demon Spider. Could this be Ten Thousand Years Ago, the scene where Tang San encountered the Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Forest?

"I came to Ten Thousand Years Ago?" Shiyu's mind buzzed, and he found it utterly unbelievable.

Seeing Shiyu suddenly become strange and stand there in a daze, Tang San's eyes flashed with confusion. What was so strange about my name?

He did not make another move. His ambush had already failed, and it would be difficult to succeed if he tried again.

He could only try discussing it with the other party. If negotiation failed, he would think of another way. He was still quite interested in this Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring.

Shiyu thought about many things, but he could reach no conclusion as to why he had come to Ten Thousand Years Ago.

Nor did he know whether he could return, or whether he would travel through time once more.

His thoughts were in turmoil, and he felt like cursing out loud. What the hell was going on?

His gaze gradually settled on Tang San opposite him. At that moment, Tang San fired the Zhuge Crossbow, though not at Shiyu, but at the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Zhuge Crossbow's bolts shot out and ended the Man Faced Demon Spider's life. Soon, a purple Soul Ring floated up—an unmistakable sign of a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"What are you doing?" Shiyu frowned, displeased by Tang San's action.

"I truly need this Soul Ring. I hope you can fulfill my wish," Tang San said politely.

"You killed the Man Faced Demon Spider without permission. Is that your idea of negotiation?" Shiyu's anger rose.

He had gone through great trouble to kill this Man Faced Demon Spider, only for the other party to kill it and reap the benefits. How could he not be angry?

"I was too impatient. I apologize," Tang San said.

"I don't accept it," Shiyu said coldly. Though he knew the other party was the protagonist Tang San, he still could not forgive him so easily.

"The Man Faced Demon Spider is already dead. That is now an established fact. Why not fulfill my wish? I, Tang San, will definitely remember this favor."

"If you ever need anything in the future, you can come find me at Shrek Academy. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will certainly repay this favor," Tang San offered.

A favor from Tang San?

Shiyu felt that it did not seem like such a bad deal, though he did not know whether Tang San's promise could be trusted.

He tried recalling whether the original story had ever mentioned Tang San keeping his promises... it seemed that it had not.

"Tang San's credibility needs to be questioned," Shiyu reminded himself.

Tang San certainly had ability, or else he would not have risen to prominence and done so well later on.

But as for his character, opinions varied. He could not exactly be called a particularly good person.

Simply comparing Tang San's behavior in the Clear Sky Sect before he had grown powerful with his behavior after he had fully spread his wings made him difficult to like.

The difference in strength determined his attitude toward you. When dealing with Tang San, strength could be said to be the most important thing.

Either that, or you became his little brother. In that case, he might still be a fairly decent person.

"I'm still not over it." Shiyu had a temper too. The Man Faced Demon Spider was his prey, yet the other party had killed it without his consent. That was far too presumptuous.

"You can have the Soul Ring, but everything else from the Man Faced Demon Spider belongs to me," Shiyu said after some thought.

If this was the Man Faced Demon Spider Tang San absorbed into his Soul Ring, then it possessed an External Soul Bone.

An External Soul Bone was an excellent thing. Shiyu did not want to hand it over to Tang San so cheaply. After all, he had defeated this Man Faced Demon Spider, so it was only natural for him to take the most valuable item.

"Fine," Tang San agreed immediately. Obtaining the Soul Ring was already an excellent outcome for him.

As for the Man Faced Demon Spider's other things, what else could there be?

Even if the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse were sold, it would not fetch much money. The bodies of poisonous Spirit Beasts were generally of little value.

The use of poison was severely lacking in this world. There was no way to make use of the Man Faced Demon Spider's poisonous flesh and blood, so it was worth very little.

If its body was worthless, then there was nothing valuable left. It was not as though one could expect a Man Faced Demon Spider of around two thousand years to yield a Soul Bone, right?

Tang San found that impossible. Having studied Spirit Beast knowledge under Master for many years, he knew well that Thousand Year Spirit Beasts rarely yielded Soul Bones. The probability was less than one in a thousand.

Shiyu nodded and walked toward the dead Man Faced Demon Spider, remaining highly vigilant of Tang San all the while.

Once he knew it was Tang San, he became extremely wary. This person had Hidden Weapons, so he had to be extra careful.

Moreover, this was no ordinary eleven- or twelve-year-old youth. He was ruthless and killed without blinking. He might appear friendly on the surface now, but in reality, he could be thinking about how to kill Shiyu.

To be honest, Shiyu was not very willing to deal with Tang San. He felt it would be exhausting.

Of course, he did not want to become enemies with him either. Tang San was exceedingly vicious toward his enemies, and truly opposing him would be a headache.

For now, he only wanted to take the External Soul Bone and leave as quickly as possible. He did not want to stay with Tang San for even one more second.

Tang San's gaze followed Shiyu's movements, curious what he intended to obtain from the Man Faced Demon Spider.

He quietly replaced the bolts in his Zhuge Crossbow. One had to remain on guard against others.

Shiyu came before the Man Faced Demon Spider and found himself somewhat at a loss. Its entire body looked poisonous, and he did not want to touch it.

Energy guidance... Shiyu had a sudden idea and tried guiding the energy of the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring.

"You can't absorb that Soul Ring!" Tang San hurriedly warned, his voice somewhat cold.

"I'm not taking the Soul Ring," Shiyu replied coldly, showing Tang San no friendliness.

Tang San was about to speak when he saw that the Soul Ring remained, yet something seemed to be pulled from it by the other party.

It worked... Shiyu's attempt to guide the energy out actually succeeded. Purple energy was drawn forth, forming a skeletal structure shaped like Eight Spider Legs.

This should be the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone. However, when Tang San absorbed it in the original story, he had absorbed it directly alongside the Soul Ring rather than obtaining the Soul Bone separately.

Tang San watched with a frown. He sensed that it was some kind of treasure, and when he looked closely, his heart jolted. A Soul Bone!

"The Man Faced Demon Spider actually yielded a Soul Bone?" Tang San found it unbelievable. How could such a low-probability event actually happen?

Tang San gripped the Zhuge Crossbow tightly, wanting to make a move. A Soul Bone was such a valuable treasure that he did not want to let the other party have it.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Since I could defeat the Man Faced Demon Spider, I can certainly defeat you. I advise you to behave yourself and not bring disaster upon yourself," Shiyu warned in a deep voice as he sensed the killing intent.

He stared coldly at Tang San. The moment the other party made any move, he would respond immediately.

Whether Tang San was the protagonist or not, this External Soul Bone belonged to him now. He would not give it to Tang San.
