Man Faced Demon Spider

"Those two little punks..." Zhao Wuji cursed angrily, then called to Oscar, "Quick, make a few more sausages."

At that moment, Tang San looked at Zhao Zilong in surprise. "Brother Zi Long, how did you end up here too?"

Zhao Zilong grinned. "Didn't I say before that I wanted to pursue Xiao Wu? Did you think I was joking? Naturally, I had to step up at a time like this. Besides, I didn't want to watch you go to your death."

Hearing Zhao Zilong's words, Tang San felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking that Zhao Zilong had come along to rescue Xiao Wu in such a dangerous situation, Tang San felt that entrusting Xiao Wu to him might not be a bad choice.

If Zhao Zilong had known what Tang San was thinking, he would surely have been speechless. He was only here to look for the Eight Spider Lances, and Xiao Wu wasn't in any danger at all.

"Thank you, Brother Zi Long."

Soon, the one-minute duration of the Flying Mushroom Sausage ran out, and Tang San and Zhao Zilong both landed. They could only continue on foot. Zhao Zilong was very alert, while Tang San looked so anxious that he kept muttering "Xiao Wu" to himself.

Zhao Zilong said, "Tang San, you don't need to be so anxious. I just saw that the Titan Giant Ape carried Xiao Wu away instead of eating her on the spot, which means she should still be alive for now. As far as I know, there's a kind of Soul Beast called the Ape-Human. They're extremely lecherous and like human women. This Titan Giant Ape might be one of that kind too! If so, Xiao Wu shouldn't be killed."

Hearing this, Tang San's face turned an even more ghastly shade of green. He cried out, "No! If that's the case, Xiao Wu would be worse off than dead. I have to hurry and save her even more!" As he spoke, Tang San quickened his pace.

Zhao Zilong had no choice but to follow behind Tang San, silently cursing the Man Faced Demon Spider for not showing up already. Could it be that the Man Faced Demon Spider wouldn't appear because he was here?

After walking through the Star Dou Great Forest for several hours, Tang San and Zhao Zilong both felt tired. After all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, full of danger. Who knew when a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might appear?

Fortunately, the events still unfolded just as they had in the original story. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past nearby. Zhao Zilong immediately shouted, "Look out..."

As his words fell, a spider leg stabbed toward them. Zhao Zilong and Tang San both dodged. Zhao Zilong watched it and cried excitedly, "Man Faced Demon Spider!"

Tang San said, "If only Teacher Zhao were here. This Man Faced Demon Spider would be very suitable for you." His teacher had told him that the Man Faced Demon Spider was the best choice for his Third Soul Ring. Since Zhao Zilong's Martial Soul was also Blue Silver Grass, like his own, it should suit him too. But unfortunately, his Soul Power hadn't just failed to reach level 30; for some reason, it had actually fallen by a level. He only had level 28 Soul Power now.

Tang San hadn't expected Zhao Zilong to say that himself. Zhao Zilong said, "Tang San, do me a favor. Join forces with me and take down this Man Faced Demon Spider. I want to absorb its Soul Ring."

'The Man Faced Demon Spider, which holds great significance for the protagonist Tang San, has been discovered. Sign in...' Just then, System Girl's mature voice rang out in Zhao Zilong's mind again.

'Sign in...' Zhao Zilong hadn't expected that he could sign in for the Man Faced Demon Spider too, and immediately chose 'Sign in.'

'Signed in for the Man Faced Demon Spider. Age: 2,100 years. Current condition: seriously injured. Mission issued: kill the Man Faced Demon Spider and absorb it as your Third Soul Ring. Rewards: the Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, and an increase of three thousand years to the Soul Ring's age...'

Hearing this, Zhao Zilong was overjoyed. This system was just too generous. He had always been somewhat worried that even if it was the same Man Faced Demon Spider, it might not drop an External Soul Bone. After all, according to Master's theory, Soul Bones only formed when Soul Beasts were consumed by extreme resentment.

Tang San had managed to get an External Soul Bone because he had the protagonist's halo, but there was no guarantee that Zhao Zilong would.

Now, the system's words were just like a Reassurance Pill for Zhao Zilong.

Tang San looked at Zhao Zilong in surprise. "Brother Zi Long, are you sure? This is a Man Faced Demon Spider over a thousand years old. It's extremely terrifying."

Even Tang San, with his Hidden Weapons, wasn't absolutely confident he could defeat a Man Faced Demon Spider. Yet Zhao Zilong wanted to absorb its Soul Ring.

"Didn't you notice?" Zhao Zilong grinned. "This Man Faced Demon Spider is already injured."

Hearing Zhao Zilong say this, Tang San immediately used his Purple Demon Eye. He discovered that the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen really was injured. What was more, Man Faced Demon Spiders could spit webbing three times, but this one hadn't spat any webbing from the very start.

Before Tang San could speak, Zhao Zilong attacked first. "Heartbreak Poison: Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain..."

Facing such a wide-ranging attack, the Man Faced Demon Spider could only defend itself. Countless bamboo-leaf swords rained down, and several pierced its face. The Man Faced Demon Spider shrieked in pain, then attacked Zhao Zilong even more frantically.

Zhao Zilong plucked a Blue Silver Grass leaf and flung it with a Hidden Weapon technique, striking the wound on the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen. But the Man Faced Demon Spider was a poisonous Soul Beast to begin with. Though Heartbreak Poison was potent, it had limited effect on the Man Faced Demon Spider.

'This is the Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Techniques? No, there shouldn't be anything from the Tang Sect in this world. It must be a method very similar to Hidden Weapon techniques...' After seeing Zhao Zilong's attack, Tang San was stunned. But he immediately dismissed the idea. The Douluo Continent was vast, and although Soul Skills were the main focus, there must still be plenty of Hidden Weapon techniques.

Watching Zhao Zilong fight the Man Faced Demon Spider, Tang San immediately used a Soul Skill too. "I'll help you. First Soul Skill: Entanglement..."

Once Tang San had restrained it, Zhao Zilong used his Soul Skill again. "Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain..." Countless Blue Silver Grass leaves fell onto the Man Faced Demon Spider's face, hurting it so badly that it snapped Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

"Damn, its killing power's a little weak!" Zhao Zilong grumbled. "Tang San, do you have any swords or other weapons? My First Soul Skill doesn't seem powerful enough to kill it!"

"Use this!" Tang San said, tossing his Zhuge Crossbow over. He wanted to see whether Zhao Zilong recognized the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

"Oh, a crossbow?" Zhao Zilong looked at the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. He couldn't exactly call it by name, so he grinned and said, "This is a pretty good thing. Where did you get it?"

Tang San explained, "It's called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. I made it myself."

Seeing the Man Faced Demon Spider charging at them again, Zhao Zilong immediately shouted, "Tang San, restrain it one more time. I'll finish it off."

"Okay..."

Then, under Tang San's control, Zhao Zilong used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider with a single shot. A purple Soul Ring emerged from its body.

"Tang San, guard me. I'm going to absorb the Soul Ring."

"Okay."

Soon, Zhao Zilong sat cross-legged on the ground, and the purple Soul Ring settled over him.

'Mission complete: kill the Man Faced Demon Spider. Reward: the External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, and an increase of three thousand years to the Soul Ring's age...'

This was Zhao Zilong's first time absorbing a Soul Ring. He could feel the Man Faced Demon Spider's powerful Soul Power colliding with his own, then being absorbed by him bit by bit.
