"What is this..."
Lu Chen seemed to recall something, and his eyes immediately gleamed.
Dugu Yan looked at the soul beast and said, "I didn't expect this to be a Man Faced Demon Spider!"
The Man Faced Demon Spider, one of the evil soul beasts, is known as the "nightmare of small soul beasts." It can contend with thousand-year soul beasts at the hundred-year level. Its weakness is its eyes!
To verify his thoughts, Lu Chen activated his fourth soul ring.
Asura Berserk Devour, activate!
Blood flames ignited on Lu Chen's body, and then the Asura Demon Sword in his hand directly slashed at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Man Faced Demon Spider raised its two three-meter-long legs, like steel spears, to block in front of it.
"Crack—" A crisp sound was ear-piercing!
The Man Faced Demon Spider's front two legs instantly shattered, and purple black blood splattered onto Lu Chen's clothes, with wisps of white smoke floating out.
"Hiss—" A piercing cry filled with sharp shrillness.
In pain, the Man Faced Demon Spider thrust its remaining legs towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen saw that the Man Faced Demon Spider did not spit out its web to intercept him, and his guess became a few points firmer.
A flash of light appeared on his left hand, and the Asura Purgatory Claw was ferociously activated!
Five streaks of crimson gold light flashed by.
With a series of crisp "crack" sounds, the remaining spider legs were all neatly severed.
Without support, the Man Faced Demon Spider crashed to the ground, and Lu Chen firmly stepped on its body.
He raised the Asura Demon Sword and was about to stab it into the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen.
Suddenly. A hoarse, sharp shout suddenly sounded. "Stop."
Lu Chen did not hesitate and directly thrust the Asura Demon Sword in his hand into the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen.
"Hiss—" After another piercing cry, the Man Faced Demon Spider completely lost its breath.
A purple soul ring slowly appeared above the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.
Immediately after. Two figures walked out from where the Man Faced Demon Spider had emerged.
They appeared before everyone.
These two were one old and one young, both female. The elder looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with white hair neatly combed.
Despite her age, she was very energetic. She held a three-meter-long snake head cane in her right hand, and her six soul rings moved up and down.
Following the old woman was a beautiful maiden. She had short, ear-length hair and looked about sixteen or seventeen.
She wore a neat, tight-fitting outfit that snugly hugged her well-developed figure.
A pair of deep brown eyes stared intently at Lu Chen, filled with unconcealed anger.
She also held a snake head cane in her hand. However, it was shorter than the old woman's, only two meters long. She only had two hundred-year soul rings.
The newcomers were the "Snake Dowager" Chao Tianxiang and her granddaughter Meng Yiran!
Chao Tianxiang's gaze swept over Dugu Bo behind Lu Chen, her eyes sharpening. She had clearly recognized Dugu Bo's identity.
Chao Tianxiang suppressed the shock in her heart and forced a gentle smile. "Respected Poison Douluo, this old one is Chao Tianxiang. We have disturbed you and will take our leave now!"
Chao Tianxiang's back was already beaded with cold sweat. She hadn't expected to encounter Dugu Bo, rumored to be "narrow-minded and bullying the weak," in the Star Dou Great Forest.
She had spoken rashly in her haste and hoped Dugu Bo wouldn't retaliate!
Meng Yiran, standing beside her, looked at Chao Tianxiang's demeanor. Although full of indignation, she knew the person before them was not to be trifled with and could only purse her lips and remain silent.
Lu Chen suddenly spoke, "Senior Chao Tianxiang, this Man Faced Demon Spider is about two thousand years old. Your granddaughter probably can't absorb it."
As Lu Chen spoke, he pushed the purple soul ring towards Chao Tianxiang.
These words sounded particularly harsh in Meng Yiran's ears.
Meng Yiran said with some displeasure, "How can you be so sure I can't absorb this soul ring?"
Chao Tianxiang sensed the pressure from the soul ring and sighed softly, saying, "Yiran indeed cannot absorb it."
"Grandmother!" Meng Yiran's face immediately flushed red, a mix of anger and urgency.
Without further words, Chao Tianxiang bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo, "Poison Douluo, this old one bids farewell!"
Dugu Bo slightly nodded.
As Meng Yiran left, she turned her head and glared fiercely at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen paid no mind. He only wanted to verify if this soul beast was the one that gave Tang San an external soul bone in the original work!
Lu Chen leaned down and directly reached into the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen.
Purple black blood immediately gushed out.
The next moment, under the astonished gazes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Lu Chen directly pulled out a soul bone.
It was a section of crystal clear spine bone, consisting of eight segments. Each segment was like condensed amethyst, shimmering with a seven-colored halo under the sunlight, with faint soul power fluctuations overflowing.
Lu Chen looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider Spine Soul Bone in his hand, his eyes filled with unconcealed joy: "It really is it!"
Dugu Yan looked at the External Soul Bone in Lu Chen's hand, her eyes revealing curiosity, and said, "What kind of soul bone is this? It looks so special."
"External Soul Bone!"
Looking at his granddaughter's confused expression, Dugu Bo explained, "External Soul Bones are a kind of magical existence, a special existence besides the six major categories of soul bones. If the chance of ordinary soul bones appearing from soul beasts is one in a thousand, then the chance of External Soul Bones appearing is not even one in ten thousand!"
Lu Chen handed the Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone to Dugu Yan, and slowly said, "Yan Zi, this Man Faced Demon Spider's External Soul Bone is not suitable for me, it's for you!"
As for the condition mentioned by Yu Xiao Gang, "One must absorb the soul ring of the soul beast that dropped this soul bone before one can absorb the External Soul Bone"?
In later generations, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin both fused with the Dark Gold Dread Claw Right Palm Bone without absorbing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's soul ring.
How many of Yu Xiao Gang's theories weren't false?
Dugu Yan looked at the soul bone in her hand, her eyes shining brightly, and suddenly pounced into Lu Chen's embrace.
Lu Chen saw that Dugu Yan was about to bite, and placed two fingers on her pink lips, saying helplessly, "Yan Zi, Senior Dugu is still here!"
Dugu Yan just glanced at Dugu Bo, and Dugu Bo instantly disappeared from his spot, his aura completely gone.
"Now no one can bother us, right!"
Dugu Yan's eyes exuded excitement, and she directly pinned Lu Chen down...
After a long time, Dugu Yan got up from Lu Chen, her face red as she tidied her messy clothing lapel.
Following Lu Chen's instructions, she sat cross-legged aside and began to absorb the External Soul Bone with a calm mind.
Dugu Bo also returned to Lu Chen's front, looking at Lu Chen's resentful gaze.
Dugu Bo slowly said, "Kid, don't be ungrateful. Didn't you not resist either?"
Lu Chen gave Dugu Bo a look. Did he not want to resist?
If he had truly hurt Dugu Yan, you old poison would have fought him to the death.
Just then, the Shrek group reappeared before Lu Chen and Dugu Bo.
However, this time, Ma Hongjun was missing.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Tang San's gaze fell on Dugu Yan, who was meditating under the tree, and a sense of emptiness inexplicably rose in his heart.
This feeling was the same as when he found out Xiao Wu and Lu Chen slept together!
