Are You Here to Take a Dump?!

The Man Faced Demon Spider let out a low growl and charged on without slowing. In the blink of an eye, it was before Ning Chuan. Two of its forelegs lifted, ready to stab down at Ning Chuan, whose body was covered by a Sword Shield.

At that moment, a buzzing sound suddenly rose, growing louder and louder until it became incomparably shrill. As though it had sensed some enormous threat, the Man Faced Demon Spider's bristles stood on end, and it abruptly leaped backward.

The next instant, the fragments of the sphere that the Man Faced Demon Spider had shattered came alive, transforming into several hundred thumb-sized silver beetles that densely surrounded it.

Ning Chuan gave the Man Faced Demon Spider no time to recover. With a slight urge of his spiritual power, the Gold Devouring Insects immediately lunged at it without regard for their lives, instantly coating the Man Faced Demon Spider in a faint layer of silver.

The Man Faced Demon Spider immediately let out a pained shriek and fled in every direction, but the Gold Devouring Insects clung to it like maggots on a bone. No matter what it did, it could not shake them off, while they continuously gnawed away at its flesh.

Ning Chuan secretly chuckled. Gold Devouring Insects counter spiders, and the Man Faced Demon Spider can spray its web no more than three times a day. If it still had its web, it might have posed a threat to my juvenile Gold Devouring Insects. Unfortunately, without its web, it is destined to become their nourishment.

In the blink of an eye, the Man Faced Demon Spider shrank at a visible rate.

It went from large to small, then from small to nothing, devoured completely by the Gold Devouring Insects. Not even its Soul Ring remained.

In the end, only a palm-sized Soul Bone remained, with eight tiny spider lances attached to it.

"Eight Spider Lances?"

Ning Chuan's eyes lit up. Not daring to delay in the slightest, he swiftly drew the Soul Bone into his hand and stored it in the Storage Soul Tool at his waist. Then, he hurriedly controlled the Gold Devouring Insects, turning them into a glittering silver mist that surged toward him.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's screams just now had not been quiet, and Dragon Lord was following behind. He might have heard them.

These Gold Devouring Insects made excellent cover.

There were already few detached Martial Souls on Douluo Continent, and insect swarm Martial Souls were practically nonexistent. Moreover, Ning Chuan was still using his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword Martial Soul, so he did not need to worry about arousing their suspicion.

As it turned out, Ning Chuan's concerns were not unfounded. As he controlled the insect swarm to rush toward himself and resisted with all his might, two figures darted out of the forest at high speed.

The arrivals were two Spirit Masters. Ning Chuan recognized one of them: Snake Woman, whom he had met two days ago. The other was an old man who appeared to be over seventy. Eight Soul Rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—circled his body, while he held a four-meter dragon-headed cane. He was Meng Yiran's grandfather, Dragon Lord Meng Shu.

The two had only reunited not long ago. Just as Ning Chuan had guessed, Snake Woman had come to find Dragon Lord only after sending Meng Yiran out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

When Dragon Lord learned that his granddaughter had already obtained the Soul Ring of the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, he was delighted. He had originally intended to abandon the pursuit, but the Man Faced Demon Spider's screams drew him over. Seeing Ning Chuan "struggling desperately against the insect swarm," he could not help showing a surprised expression.

Ning Chuan pretended not to notice them. As he swung his sword to scatter the oncoming insect swarm, he fled in Tang San's direction.

Diverting disaster onto another, that was the trick Ning Chuan was playing.

"What kind of Spirit Beast is this?"

Seeing the Gold Devouring Insect swarm devour Ning Chuan's Sword Shield, while even Sword Qi could not harm it in the slightest, Dragon Lord asked in surprise.

Though Snake Woman did not recognize the Gold Devouring Insects, she recognized Ning Chuan. "Old man, this youth is one of Zhao Wuji's students. From what they said earlier, Yiran's Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was captured by this brat alone."

"So it's him..." Dragon Lord murmured thoughtfully. "This little fellow can release Sword Qi with every gesture, and his Soul Power exceeds level thirty. He is quite a promising talent. As for that Man Faced Demon Spider, it was most likely devoured by these strange insect Spirit Beasts."

Snake Woman seemed to understand what Dragon Lord meant, and her eyes brightened slightly. "What, do you want to save him?"

"How does Yiran feel about him?" Dragon Lord asked instead of answering.

Recalling the wager proposed earlier by Shrek's Food Spirit Master, Snake Woman's old face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum. "Not bad."

Hearing that, Dragon Lord no longer hesitated. He looked toward the silver mist formed from the Gold Devouring Insects, a fierce glint flashing through his eyes. His Fourth Spirit Ring lit up, and his dragon-headed cane released a red beam that struck the silver mist.

At once, the mist rapidly shifted from silver to crimson. In the blink of an eye, it burst into fierce flames, transforming into intensely scorching red fire.

But the next moment, something unbelievable happened to Dragon Lord and Snake Woman. The insects within the Dragon Breath were not burned to ashes. Instead, each one remained lively and active.

Even more unbelievably, they devoured the flames at an astonishing speed. The crimson fire was swallowed completely in an instant.

As Ning Chuan "took the opportunity" to escape the insect swarm's encirclement, he raced toward Tang San as quickly as possible. At the same time, he controlled the insect swarm to surge toward Dragon Lord and Snake Woman, secretly laughing. Gold Devouring Insects fear neither water nor fire.

"What strange insects. Old woman, go after that brat. Don't let him get away. I'll handle these insects."

Dragon Lord spoke to Snake Woman, then waved his dragon-headed cane and charged at the insects.

Snake Woman nodded. She was not worried that the insects could threaten her old man, and she chased after Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan was less than five hundred meters from Tang San's location. Even if Snake Woman was faster than him, she could not possibly catch up within five hundred meters, much less capture him.

While speeding along, Ning Chuan did not forget to take a Powerful Laxative from his Soul Tool and swallow it, transferring the Side Effect to Tang San.

When Ning Chuan arrived, he happened to see Tang San squatting beneath a tree, spraying away without restraint.

At that moment, Snake Woman caught up as well and saw the utterly eye-searing scene.

For a moment, the three of them stared at one another. Tang San instantly wanted to die and wished he could crawl into a hole in the ground.

Yet his backside continued spraying nonstop. If he moved even slightly, he feared he would immediately crap his pants.

Snake Woman wore a look of utter disgust. She had not expected Shrek, with its hidden talents and group of genius students, to produce such a disgusting Poop Man. Worse still, she had encountered him twice. This day had truly been awful.

As for Ning Chuan, he covered his nose and transferred the Side Effect of feeling sick and wanting to vomit from the stench to Tang San. Then, though he knew perfectly well, he asked, "Tang San, what are you doing here alone?"

"What do you think?" Tang San was so nauseated that he was nearly fainting. Still spraying, he asked back with an ugly expression.

"I don't know." Ning Chuan shook his head as if genuinely confused. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. Bending over and lowering his head, he asked, "You're here to take a dump, aren't you?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Tang San was nearly angered into passing out.

Partly because Ning Chuan had enraged him, and partly because the diarrhea had drained him.

But he was still having diarrhea nonstop. Even if he wanted to faint, he did not dare. He could only force himself to endure.
