A Bunch of Unlucky Fools Who Poked a Man Faced Demon Spider Nest

Flying as a Titled Douluo felt pretty great.

Especially after his Soul Power had surged—carrying three people was as easy as carrying a bag.

The fierce wind howled outside the Light shield, yet it was firmly kept out.

The forest below resembled an enormous green carpet stretching endlessly into the distance, with rivers embedded within it like silver ribbons.

Lin Qing enjoyed the thrill of wielding such power as he considered what to do after returning.

First, he would return to Qingtian Academy and get the children settled.

Then he would have to go to Shrek Academy... No, Xiao Wu should be at Nuoding Academy now.

Since it concerned Xiao Wu and Tang Hao, he needed to think it through carefully.

"Dad!"

Just then, Rou Rou tugged on his sleeve.

Curiosity, as though she had discovered a new continent, filled the little girl's voice as she pointed southeast.

"Look over there. It looks like someone's running away, and something is chasing them."

Lin Qing looked in the direction she pointed.

His gaze pierced through the clouds and distance, clearly taking in the scene below.

At the edge of the dense forest.

A group of people could only be described as fleeing in utter disarray.

Two middle-aged men brought up the rear, dressed in fitted combat attire. Their Soul Power Fluctuations were not weak.

They were probably around Level 70 or 80.

Yet their faces were anxious, and they kept looking back. Their clothes bore several tears, making it clear that they had been through a battle.

Behind their cover were seven or eight young boys and girls.

None of them were very old, around fifteen or sixteen. Their Soul Power ranged from Soul Elders to Soul Ancestors.

At that moment, every one of the youths had gone pale.

They ran with all their might, but their formation had already become somewhat scattered.

What chased behind them made Lin Qing raise an eyebrow.

"Well, damn... It's actually those things."

He could not help muttering.

They were six Man Faced Demon Spiders!

Even from afar, their savage appearance radiated a bloodthirsty aura.

Most outrageous of all, the two in front were absurdly huge, their carapaces gleaming with a dark-purple metallic sheen. They were absolutely terrifying creatures with sixty or seventy thousand years of cultivation.

The four following behind were slightly smaller, but they still had between ten and thirty thousand years of cultivation.

This lineup was ridiculously excessive.

"Did these people poke a Man Faced Demon Spider nest or something?"

In truth, Lin Qing's guess was more or less correct.

The atmosphere within the fleeing group below had already become utterly hopeless.

"Teacher! They're catching up again! They're even faster now!"

A Red-haired boy shouted as he ran, his voice distorted by fear and exhaustion.

He glanced back, and the sight of those rapidly moving jointed limbs sent a chill through his heart.

"Don't look back! Save your strength and run east! Their webs and the terrain give them too much of an advantage here!"

A handsome Silver-haired Youth with short hair remained relatively calm.

He analyzed the situation quickly, though his forehead was also covered in sweat and his gaze was grave.

But before he had even finished speaking, the previously still bushes to the side suddenly exploded!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more Demon Spiders, each several meters long and nearing twenty thousand years of cultivation, burst forth!

They were like hunters who had been lying in wait all along.

Their eight spear-sharp spider legs glimmered with cold light as they stabbed straight toward a petite girl in the middle of the group!

The girl had rare short golden hair, with slightly curled tips. Most striking of all were the Fluffy Fox Ears atop her head, while the fur on the Golden tail behind her had puffed up from fear.

"Watch out!"

The Soul Douluo teacher's expression changed drastically. With an angry roar, he charged forward in an instant.

Soul Rings flashed around him—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black!

His Eighth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

He struck out with his palm!

Vast Soul Power condensed into the phantom of a massive hand, crashing fiercely toward the two ambushing Demon Spiders with a howling gale.

Boom!

Soul Power shook, and shockwaves spread in all directions.

The two Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Spiders were sent flying, letting out shrill screeches.

But the recoil also stalled the teacher for a moment, immediately slowing him by a beat.

In that brief instant, the deadly encirclement was complete.

Ahead, two giant Man Faced Demon Spiders with sixty to seventy thousand years of cultivation completely blocked the path.

They raised their abdomens, their terrifying Compound Eyes coldly locking on to their prey.

Behind and along the flanks, the other four Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Spiders swiftly sealed every route of escape.

Most despairing of all, the six Demon Spiders almost simultaneously raised the ends of their abdomens.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss—!

Countless streams of gray-white mucus shot into the air, instantly spreading and intertwining into enormous spiderwebs that covered a vast area, possessed terrifying adhesion, and glimmered with the eerie light of Deadly Poison!

Layer upon layer of webs nearly covered the space within several hundred meters.

They looked like an inverted bowl of death, slowly closing in.

"It's over..."

The golden-haired Fox-eared Girl's face turned as pale as paper.

Even the hand gripping her short blade trembled, while her tail drooped weakly.

She could even smell the Fishy Smell belonging to the Man Faced Demon Spiders in the air, mixed with blood and poison.

"Then we fight them! Killing even one will be worth it!"

The Red-haired Youth's eyes turned red.

Blazing Flames suddenly surged around him.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings appeared as he prepared to charge forward without regard for anything else.

"Yan, are you insane? Calm down!"

The Silver-haired Youth grabbed him tightly, veins bulging on his arm from the force.

"Those are Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and there are six of them! We can't hold them off if we rush in. We'll only cause trouble for the teachers!"

His voice was low, but it carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

"For now, we can only trust the teachers. Don't do anything stupid!"

The two teachers stood back-to-back, protecting the students in the middle. Their expressions were so grim they seemed ready to drip water.

Soul Power Fluctuations around them churned violently as their eight Soul Rings rose and fell, flashing with light.

They had no fear of facing two Soul Beasts with sixty or seventy thousand years of cultivation together.

But these were two Man Faced Demon Spiders with Deadly Poison.

And there were another four Ten-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spiders.

Protecting so many students who were practically defenseless in such unfavorable terrain...

This was simply a dead end!

One of the teachers, refined in appearance but with eyes now as sharp as an eagle's, took a deep breath, as though he had made some kind of decision.

He quickly spoke to his companion.

"Old Chen, listen to me. In a moment, I'll burn my Soul Power and unleash that self-created move of mine. I should be able to hold them off temporarily."

"Just three breaths. Don't worry about anything else. Take the children and leave at top speed. Run as far as you can!"

Old Chen, the other burly teacher, widened his tiger-like eyes upon hearing this.

"Bullshit! If we die, we die together! How could I—"

"Shut up!"

The refined teacher cut him off sharply, though his gaze softened for an instant.

He looked at those panicked young faces.

"They are the future... Don't let these children die here."

Before his words had even faded, the Soul Power around him began surging in a violent and unstable manner.

His robes fluttered despite the lack of wind.

He was clearly preparing to unleash some secret technique that came at an enormous cost.

But just as the tragic, resolute atmosphere reached its peak, at the instant when even the air seemed to freeze—

Roooar—!!!

A vast, domineering Dragon's Roar crashed down without warning from the towering heavens above!
