Man Faced Demon Spider

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

Tang San looked at Zhao Zilong in surprise. "Brother Zi Long, why are you here too?"

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

Although Tang San felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing Zhao Zilong's words, he also felt that, since Zhao Zilong had come to rescue Xiao Wu even in such danger, entrusting Xiao Wu to him might not be a bad choice.

If Zhao Zilong had known what Tang San was thinking, he would definitely have been speechless. I'm just here for the Eight Spider Lances, and Xiao Wu isn't in any danger at all.

"Thank you, Brother Zi Long."

Very soon, the one-minute limit of the Flying Mushroom Sausage ran out. Tang San and Zhao Zilong landed and could only continue on foot. Zhao Zilong remained highly vigilant as he watched Tang San hurry forward, constantly muttering, "Xiao Wu."

Zhao Zilong said, "Tang San, you don't need to be so anxious. I saw Xiao Wu being taken away by that Titan Giant Ape. It didn't eat her on the spot, which means Xiao Wu should still be alive for now. As far as I know, there's a type of soul beast called an ape-man. They're extremely lustful and like human women. That Titan Giant Ape might be one of them! If that's the case, Xiao Wu probably won't be killed."

Tang San's face turned an even uglier shade of green. He shouted, "No! If that's the case, then Xiao Wu would be better off dead! I need to save her even faster!" As he spoke, Tang San quickened his pace.

Zhao Zilong could only follow behind Tang San, silently cursing. Why hasn't that Man Faced Demon Spider shown up yet? Could it be because I'm here, so it won't come out?

After walking through the Star Dou Great Forest for several hours, Tang San and Zhao Zilong both felt somewhat exhausted. This was the Star Dou Great Forest, after all, filled with dangers at every turn. Who knew when a ten-thousand-year soul beast might appear?

Fortunately, events still unfolded just as they had in the original story. A black shadow suddenly flashed past them, and Zhao Zilong immediately shouted, "Watch out..."

As Zhao Zilong's voice fell, a spider leg stabbed toward them. Zhao Zilong and Tang San both dodged aside. Zhao Zilong cried excitedly, "Man Faced Demon Spider."

Tang San said, "It would have been great if Teacher Zhao were here. This Man Faced Demon Spider should 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. Zhao Zilong's martial soul was also Blue Silver Grass, so it should suit him as well. Unfortunately, Tang San's Soul Power had not only failed to reach level thirty, but for some unknown reason, it had even dropped by one level. He now only had level twenty-eight Soul Power.

Zhao Zilong had not expected Tang San to say that voluntarily. "Tang San, do me a favor. Join forces with me and kill this Man Faced Demon Spider. I want to absorb its soul ring."

'A Man Faced Demon Spider of great significance to protagonist Tang San has been discovered. Sign in?'

At that moment, the mature, alluring voice of System Girl sounded in his mind again.

Sign in... Zhao Zilong had not expected that he could sign in with the Man Faced Demon Spider as well, and immediately chose to sign in.

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

Hearing this, Zhao Zilong was overjoyed. This system was truly incredible. Zhao Zilong had always been worried that even if it was the same Man Faced Demon Spider, it might not necessarily drop an External Soul Bone. According to Master's theory, soul bones were only formed when soul beasts were filled with extreme resentment.

Tang San had only managed to obtain an External Soul Bone because he had the protagonist's halo. Zhao Zilong might not have been so lucky.

But now, the system's words were undoubtedly a reassurance to Zhao Zilong.

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

Even Tang San, with his hidden weapons, was not absolutely certain he could defeat a Man Faced Demon Spider. Yet Zhao Zilong actually wanted to absorb it.

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

At Zhao Zilong's words, Tang San immediately used Purple Demon Eye and discovered that the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen truly was injured. Not only that, Man Faced Demon Spiders had three chances to spit webs, yet this one had not spat any webs from the beginning.

Without waiting for Tang San to speak, Zhao Zilong attacked first. "Heartbreak Poison: Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain..."

Faced with such a wide-ranging attack, the Man Faced Demon Spider could only defend itself. Countless bamboo leaf swords rained down, and several leaves pierced the Man Faced Demon Spider's face, making it shriek in pain as it charged even more frantically at Zhao Zilong.

Zhao Zilong plucked leaves from the Blue Silver Grass and flung them out using Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Techniques, striking the wound on the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen. However, the Man Faced Demon Spider was itself a highly venomous soul beast. Though Heartbreak Poison was potent, its effects on the Man Faced Demon Spider were limited.

That was a Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Technique. No, there shouldn't be anything from the Tang Sect in this world. It must be a technique very similar to hidden weapon techniques... Tang San was stunned when he saw Zhao Zilong's method of attack, but immediately dismissed the thought. The Douluo Continent was so vast. Although soul skills were the mainstream, there had to be quite a few hidden weapon techniques as well.

Seeing Zhao Zilong entangled in battle with the Man Faced Demon Spider, Tang San immediately used a soul skill. "I'll help you. First Soul Skill: Entanglement..."

After Tang San restrained it, Zhao Zilong used another soul skill. "Bamboo Leaf Sword Rain..." Countless Blue Silver Grass leaves fell onto the Man Faced Demon Spider's face, causing it such pain that it directly tore apart Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

"Damn, the killing power's a little lacking!" Zhao Zilong complained. "Tang San, do you have any weapons like blades or swords? My first soul skill doesn't seem powerful enough to kill it!"

"Use this." Tang San tossed over his Godly Zhuge Crossbow, wanting to see whether Zhao Zilong recognized the Zhuge Crossbow.

"Oh, a crossbow?" Zhao Zilong looked at the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Naturally, he could not directly call it by its name. He grinned. "This is a good thing. Where did you get it?"

Tang San explained, "This is called the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. I made it myself."

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

"Alright..."

Then, under Tang San's control, Zhao Zilong used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to instantly kill the Man Faced Demon Spider with a single strike. A purple soul ring emerged from the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.

"Tang San, stand guard for me. I'm going to absorb the soul ring."

"Alright."

Very soon, Zhao Zilong sat cross-legged on the ground, and the purple soul ring descended onto his body.

'Mission complete. Killed the Man Faced Demon Spider. Reward: External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances and a three-thousand-year soul ring age limit increase...'

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