Intercepting the Eight Spider Lances

"Grandmother, what are you talking about?"

"Do you have a crush on him? Otherwise, you wouldn't have kissed him." Snake Grandma smiled.

"No, I don't." Meng Yiran said shyly.

"Actually, he's quite good. Not only is he talented, he's also handsome. He's just a little dark-skinned. Once he gets stronger, he'll become fairer. He's more than worthy of you." Snake Grandma knew Meng Yiran's own standing well.

Perhaps Meng Yiran would even be reaching above her station.

A Thousand Year Second Ring—could he possibly be an ordinary person? There might even be powerful figures in his family.

God of Agriculture: That's right, she's talking about me.

"Grandmother, I haven't made up my mind. If we meet again in the future, we can talk about it then."

"Suit yourself."

Xiao Ze did not leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately.

Instead, he had the God of Agriculture search for a Man Faced Demon Spider. The Eight Spider Lances, an External Soul Bone, definitely could not be left for Tang San.

"Found it. It's in your upper right." The God of Agriculture spoke.

Xiao Ze nodded, summoned all of his Agricultural Sprites, and ran toward the upper right.

Soon, they saw a Man Faced Demon Spider over one and a half meters in diameter.

Its eight spear-like legs were planted into the ground. They were extremely long, sharp, and terrifying, gleaming with a chilling light.

Its body was black, while white patterns beneath its abdomen resembled a human face.

Eight Deep Blue eyes gleamed with ferocity, sending shivers down one's spine.

"A Man Faced Demon Spider, just over two thousand years old. You'll do."

Man Faced Demon Spiders were rare Soul Beasts and few in number. This one might even have been Tang San's.

"Attack!"

At the command, Suihua and the others charged forward.

The Man Faced Demon Spider screeched as its two forelimbs stabbed toward Suihua.

The Earth Potato King suddenly accelerated. Starch Armor appeared over its body and blocked the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack.

Red Flame sprayed out condensed syrup balls.

When they struck the Man Faced Demon Spider, small flames suddenly sprang up and began burning.

This was Red Flame's ordinary soul skill, Honey Sugar Bomb.

From afar, Yu Jin continuously fired Corn Bullets at the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Hiss—

The Man Faced Demon Spider roared and swept out with its forelimbs, colliding with Xi Mang's Sacred Judgment Light Scythe.

Boom—

Xi Mang, with its Fine quality, was evenly matched with the Man Faced Demon Spider in combat strength—perhaps even slightly stronger.

The Man Faced Demon Spider was knocked back a meter by Xi Mang.

Suihua immediately dashed forward, its Suihua Crown lashing against one of the Man Faced Demon Spider's forelimbs.

Crack—

The immense force directly snapped the Man Faced Demon Spider's forelimb.

"I can't use my full strength against others, but I can't use it against you?"

Suihua suddenly split into Illusions, cutting off the Man Faced Demon Spider's retreat and continuously lashing it.

The Man Faced Demon Spider tried to resist.

Yu Jin released Corn Silk Bind, wrapping around its legs and immobilizing it.

It could only screech without end.

"Red Flame, use Caramel Thrust!"

After the brutal beating from Suihua and the other Spirits, the Man Faced Demon Spider was already on its last breath.

Red Flame transformed into a molten stream and pierced through the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest.

It sent the Man Faced Demon Spider on its way.

Red Flame's skill was not merely an offensive skill. It could also reduce the target's attack speed by 30%, and when piercing through a burning enemy, it dealt an additional 50% damage.

A Purple Soul Ring emerged. At the same time, Xiao Ze noticed a glimmer in the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest.

"A Soul Bone!" Xiao Ze hurriedly cut open the Man Faced Demon Spider's body, and the Soul Bone emerged.

When he saw the Soul Bone's appearance, Xiao Ze's lips curled upward.

It really was the Eight Spider Lances.

"Xiao Ze, your luck is really incredible. Another External Soul Bone." Even the God of Agriculture felt that Xiao Ze was this planet's Child of Luck.

He had encountered the God of Agriculture and obtained two External Soul Bones.

"You guard this place. I'm going to absorb the External Soul Bone."

Suihua and the others nodded.

Xiao Ze immediately began absorbing the Eight Spider Lances.

"Hiss..."

As soon as Xiao Ze began absorbing them, his clothes started tearing apart, and swollen lumps of flesh appeared on either side of his spine.

Xiao Ze's body was far stronger than Tang San's had been, so he did not feel any particularly intense pain.

Still, it made Xiao Ze extremely uncomfortable.

After a long while, the lumps of flesh burst open, and purple Eight Spider Lances extended from them.

The Eight Spider Lances slowly pierced into the ground and lifted Xiao Ze into the air.

Half an Hour later, Xiao Ze retracted the Eight Spider Lances, looked at his torn clothes, and changed into a fresh set.

"Level twenty-nine."

After absorbing the Eight Spider Lances, Xiao Ze had reached level twenty-nine.

Moreover, his Eight Spider Lances were somewhat different from Tang San's.

Now, like the Holy Spirit Spine, the Eight Spider Lances possessed two skills.

The first skill was Body Enhancement, a passive skill that increased all of his attributes by 30%.

It was a simple and brutal skill. Soul skills that enhanced all attributes were already extremely rare, let alone Soul Bone skills.

The second skill was Devour. It could devour the opponent's Soul Power and replenish his own Soul Power consumption by 100%. It could also absorb any kind of energy, with no upper limit.

This was the Eight Spider Lances' most powerful skill.

Seeing the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse and Soul Ring, Xiao Ze controlled the Eight Spider Lances to emerge externally. They pierced into the Man Faced Demon Spider and the Soul Ring, beginning to absorb their energy.

"That skill of yours is interesting. Try controlling it and see whether you can send the energy into the Sea of Consciousness. It'd be quite useful for farming."

Hearing this, Xiao Ze began experimenting.

After all, the energy absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances could either replenish Xiao Ze himself or increase the Eight Spider Lances' age. It had no other use.

The energy absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances flowed through every part of Xiao Ze's body.

Xiao Ze guided the energy into his head.

"Leave the rest to me." Using what little strength he had left, the God of Agriculture carefully guided the energy into the Sea of Consciousness.

"It worked!" The God of Agriculture began scattering the energy over the Farmland like rainwater.

The Crops in the Farmland began growing wildly, and the God of Agriculture happily began harvesting them.

Seeing this, Xiao Ze smiled as well. He had not expected the Eight Spider Lances to be useful in such a way. It was quite nice.

"Eh..." The God of Agriculture looked toward the two plots of Explosive Flame Chili Pepper.

One Explosive Flame Chili Pepper reacted, swaying as it flashed with crimson light.

In the next instant, the light blazed brightly.

A humanoid Spirit appeared in the Farmland.

Xiao Ze's soul also arrived beside the Farmland.

"The sixth Agricultural Sprite."

The Spirit before him had a humanoid form formed from thousands of clustered chilies.

Its skin resembled cracked lava, with golden chili oil flowing through the fissures.

Its head bore three pairs of spiral chili horns, sparks continuously bursting from their tips.

Burning Chili Tentacles formed Whip Blades that served as its limbs, while thorn-like chili seeds grew from its joints.

It looked somewhat strange, yet merely approaching it brought a scorching sensation.

If he had not been in soul form, Xiao Ze suspected that he would have been brought to tears by the spiciness the moment he approached.

This Explosive Flame Chili Pepper Spirit was also of Excellent quality at birth.

The Explosive Flame Chili Pepper approached Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze reached out and rubbed its head.

"Little one, you're blazing red. From now on, you'll be called Chi Lian."

Unlike Red Flame, Chi Lian was not born with a Bond Skill.

Chi Lian was a chili. What kind of Agricultural Sprite could form a Bond Skill with chili oil?

Xiao Ze had not thought of that either.

However, he had already reached the limit of six Agricultural Sprites.

He would have to wait until he became a Soul Elder before considering anything further.

"It's nighttime."
