Bibi Dong's Solo Kill of the Earth Cave Demon Spider, Level 65! A Medusa Horde? An 85,000-Year-Old Medusa!

Hearing this, Dugu Bo finally put his mind at ease and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, I was overthinking it.

My lord, Your Highness the Saintess, please follow me.

We'll head east first and hunt that Earth Cave Demon Spider."

The three of them blurred into motion and quickly left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Half an hour later.

At the edge of a vast, damp, shadowy cave in the eastern part of Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo stopped and pointed at the bottomless entrance, lowering his voice.

"My lord, that twenty-thousand-year-old Earth Cave Demon Spider is lurking down there.

The beast is extremely cunning. The moment it senses danger it can't overcome, it'll burrow deep underground.

Would you like me to block its escape route with Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison and force it out?"

Qian Yu didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned to Bibi Dong and asked with a smile,

"Dong'er, your Soul Power has already reached level sixty, and absorbing Lovesick Heartbreak Red has transformed you completely. This is the perfect chance to test yourself.

Do you need Dugu Bo's help?"

A confident glint flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. She shook her head without hesitation.

"No, Brother Yu.

It's only a twenty-thousand-year-old Earth Cave Demon Spider. I can handle it myself.

You and Senior Dugu can just watch from here."

Qian Yu nodded in satisfaction and reminded her,

"Go ahead.

Earth Cave Demon Spiders are good at hiding and setting traps. Their Spiderweb Cage can be troublesome, so don't let yourself get caught."

"Don't worry, Brother Yu!"

Bibi Dong replied. Soul Power surged around her as the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul possessed her. She leapt into the shadowy cave.

Watching Bibi Dong's figure disappear, Dugu Bo stood beside Qian Yu and couldn't help asking,

"My lord, Her Highness the Saintess still hasn't obtained her Sixth Soul Ring.

Isn't it a little risky for her to face a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast alone, especially on its own turf?"

Qian Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone calm but brimming with absolute confidence.

"You're underestimating her.

With the foundation of Twin Martial Souls and the cleansing of the Immortal Herb King,

if she can't even kill a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast above her level, then she isn't worthy of being the woman I, Qian Yu, chose."

Dugu Bo's heart tightened. He quickly lowered his head.

"My lord is right."

Just then, a shrill, piercing screech rang out from deep inside the cave, followed by the violent collision of Soul Power.

Boom!

A torrent of violent air, mixed with purplish-black poison, burst from the cave entrance.

Qian Yu remained impassive, simply watching the entrance.

"Looks like they've engaged."

The tremors from inside the cave lasted less than half a stick of incense.

With a terrible, anguished shriek, the noise within died away completely.

Dugu Bo listened closely, shock flashing in his eyes.

"My lord, the Earth Cave Demon Spider's aura... it's already on the verge of death?

Her Highness the Saintess's poison seems to have completely suppressed it!"

Qian Yu smiled faintly.

"The Death Spider Emperor is a top-tier Martial Soul with fearsome poison to begin with. After Lovesick Heartbreak Red transformed her, the Earth Cave Demon Spider's poison is nothing but a clumsy imitation in Dong'er's presence."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bibi Dong emerged from the dark cave at a leisurely pace.

Her breathing was slightly ragged, and her face was alight with excitement.

She was dragging a tough, purplish-black web in her hands.

Trapped inside was the twenty-thousand-year-old Earth Cave Demon Spider, paralyzed by poison and unable to move.

"Brother Yu, I dragged it out!"

Bibi Dong walked over to Qian Yu and said with a smile,

"This beast really was cunning. It tried to ambush me with Earth Cave Thrust traps, but my poison neutralized them outright."

Qian Yu reached out to ruffle her long hair and asked softly,

"Nicely done. Are you hurt?"

"No. It couldn't touch me."

Bibi Dong shook her head.

Qian Yu nodded and pointed at the spider on the ground.

"Then let's strike while the iron is hot. Kill it and absorb the Soul Ring here.

With Dugu Bo and me guarding you, no Soul Beast will dare come and disturb you."

"Okay!"

A fierce glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

A sharp purplish-black venomous thorn formed at her fingertip, and she drove it without hesitation into the Earth Cave Demon Spider's vitals.

As the spider breathed its last, a deep black Soul Ring slowly rose into the air.

Bibi Dong immediately sat cross-legged, drew the Soul Ring toward herself, and closed her eyes to begin absorbing it.

Watching from the side, Dugu Bo couldn't help sighing.

"A twenty-thousand-year Sixth Soul Ring...

Yet Her Highness the Saintess is absorbing it so calmly."

Qian Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said evenly,

"This is only the beginning.

Once she's fully absorbed the remaining medicinal power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red, her future achievements will be beyond anything you can imagine."

In the original story, Bibi Dong's fate was to inherit the Rakshasa Godhood.

But in this world—

if he could, then while ascending to godhood himself, Qian Yu would certainly arrange a godhood for Bibi Dong as well.

To put it bluntly, the Rakshasa Godhood was a godhood for a madman.

Wouldn't any other First-Level Godhood be better than the Rakshasa God's?

An hour later.

The black Soul Ring around Bibi Dong had completely stabilized. She slowly opened her eyes and stood up.

Qian Yu looked at her and asked,

"How do you feel?

What level are you now?"

Bibi Dong sensed the Soul Power within her and replied happily,

"Brother Yu, the remaining medicinal power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red has taken effect.

After absorbing this Soul Ring, my Soul Power shot straight up to level sixty-two!"

Qian Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Good. What's your Sixth Soul Skill?"

Bibi Dong grinned and said,

"My Sixth Soul Skill has two ways to use it.

"The first is for control.

The second is for attack."

"They're called Spiderweb Cage and Earth Cave Thrust, respectively.

The Earth Cave Demon Spider gave me powerful control abilities, along with strong armor-piercing and poison effects."

Bibi Dong answered honestly.

"That's a very useful skill."

Qian Yu gave a slight nod, then turned to Dugu Bo.

"Dong'er's Soul Ring is taken care of. Next, it's time to handle your business."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's spirits lifted. He bowed quickly.

"Yes!

My lord, the valley where the Medusa lives is not far from here, only about thirty li away. I'll lead you and Her Highness the Saintess there at once!"

For the three of them, thirty li was a mere instant's journey.

Before long, they stopped above a deep valley shrouded in dense green poisonous fog.

Dugu Bo pointed below, his expression turning more serious.

"My lord, the Medusa horde's nest is down there.

The poison fog was formed by their breath over many years. The eighty-thousand-year-old Medusa leader rarely leaves the valley floor."

Qian Yu glanced at the poisonous fog below and spoke calmly.

"Fighting at the bottom of the valley would give it the home-field advantage, which wouldn't help you absorb the Soul Ring.

Do you want to lure it out, or should I just flatten the valley?"

Dugu Bo waved his hands hastily and replied respectfully,

"How could I dare trouble my lord to go to such lengths!

I'll go down and force it out with Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

But the beast has quite a few ten-thousand-year minions down there. If they swarm us..."
