The Two-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spider

Martial Soul Hall, Worship Hall mountain.

Inside the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo stood facing each other.

Qian Daoliu handed the letter to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Golden Crocodile, what do you make of this?"

This letter was sent by Qian Renxue, containing all the intelligence gathered on Luo Chen, along with a note regarding the strange connection she felt toward him.

Furthermore, at the end of the letter, Qian Renxue asked Qian Daoliu if she truly had a younger brother.

As a participant in the events of that year and a witness to Qian Renxue's birth, Qian Daoliu was naturally dismissive, but after seeing the situation described by Qian Renxue, he could not help but frown. That was why he had summoned Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had also experienced those events.

"Big Brother, why don't I just go and capture that woman? We can ask her ourselves!"

As expected, Golden Crocodile Douluo was unsettled after reading the letter. He turned to leave as he spoke, but was stopped by Qian Daoliu.

"Golden Crocodile, don't be rash. Do not let Bibi Dong know about this yet."

Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, halting the impulsive actions of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He let out a long sigh and gestured for Golden Crocodile to come closer.

"Let us investigate this thoroughly before we discuss it further. Send your men to continue digging into that boy's background."

"If there is a problem, have your people tail him. If he truly is of the Qian Family, bring him back."

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo hesitated, but upon looking up at Qian Daoliu—who seemed to age decades every time that matter was discussed—he let out a long sigh and agreed.

"Nuoding City, is it? Very well, Big Brother. I will send my subordinates who hold the Title Douluo rank to investigate this person."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Chen had already resumed his soul-hunting journey.

He had found traces left behind by a hunt; the aura was quite powerful, and through the discernment of the Death Spider Emperor, he could confirm that the predator was also a spider-type soul beast.

The aura was potent, at least at the thousand-year level.

A thousand-year spider-type soul beast naturally became the target of Luo Chen's pursuit.

He followed the tracks until he reached the deepest part of the outer perimeter, where he finally came to a halt.

"I've finally almost found you. I hope you won't disappoint me and will be qualified to become my second soul ring."

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen slowed his pace.

He had a premonition that the target creature was no longer far away.

Throughout this journey, the traces here were the freshest.

He was almost there.

Finally, when Luo Chen stopped, he stood before a giant tree nearly a hundred meters tall that appeared completely lifeless.

"Is it here?"

Looking at the giant tree before him, Luo Chen frowned.

He could sense a very powerful soul beast resting nearby; it was almost certain that the thousand-year soul beast was in this tree.

But how to lure it out had become a significant problem.

After thinking for a long time, Luo Chen ultimately chose to activate Martial Soul Possession with his Six-Winged Angel and flew into the sky.

After all, there were few people in the Star Dou Great Forest, so using it a few more times to assist in his soul ring hunt wouldn't really matter.

However, just as he flew into mid-air, he suddenly felt a sense of palpitations.

"Whoosh!!"

Accompanied by a whistling gale, Luo Chen violently shifted his body to the side. A black phantom streaked past him and slammed heavily into the ground, creating cracks in the dry earth.

At this moment, Luo Chen finally saw what the creature he had been searching for all day was.

It was a creature with eight spider legs, each nearly a meter long, covered from head to toe in a purple-black carapace.

Most conspicuously, when it had attacked him, Luo Chen had seen the terrifying face on its abdomen.

"Man Faced Demon Spider, I didn't expect it to be you."

Looking at the giant beast before him, Luo Chen was slightly surprised.

If one were to ask which soul beast left the deepest impression on him from reading the original work, the Man Faced Demon Spider would certainly be at the top of the list.

After all, it was one of the top cheats for the protagonist in the early stages and the donor of the Eight Spider Lances; the memory was simply too profound.

"It seems you are qualified to be my second soul ring."

Looking at those familiar leg lengths, Luo Chen instantly switched into a combat stance.

Two thousand years—it was enough.

Now, he would begin his hunt.

The Death Spider Emperor martial soul instantly replaced the Six-Winged Angel to complete Martial Soul Possession, and the thousand-year first soul ring beneath him emerged.

He did not use the Six-Winged Angel, which possessed restraining attributes. Firstly, because after absorbing the soul ring, the Death Spider Emperor was no longer inferior to the original Six-Winged Angel, and secondly, because Luo Chen wanted to test the true power of the Death Spider Emperor.

Regardless of which martial soul he used, with his current strength, Luo Chen was confident he could steadily take down this Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Roar!!"

Just like with the previous Death Spider, the moment Luo Chen switched to the Death Spider Emperor, the Man Faced Demon Spider, which had been full of hostility toward him, was momentarily stunned.

It immediately let out a low hiss, seemingly trying to confirm what exactly Luo Chen was and where the angel that had made it feel so uncomfortable had gone.

However, the difference was that the influence of the two martial souls on this Man Faced Demon Spider had weakened; Luo Chen couldn't help but lament that the gap of a 1,000-year age difference was indeed significant.

No longer hesitating, Luo Chen exerted force with the spider legs behind his back, his figure vanishing as he launched himself like a cannonball, charging toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Man Faced Demon Spider tried to open its mouth to spit venom in defense, but Luo Chen seemed to have anticipated this, and the purple spirit ring beneath his feet lit up instantly.

Several strands of spider silk shimmering with purple light shot toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Puchi!"

The speed of the spider silk was incredibly fast, and just before the venom could be sprayed, each strand pierced directly into the body of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Man Faced Demon Spider immediately lost its composure; the venom it had been charging was forcibly interrupted, and the spirit power it had been mobilizing vanished in an instant.

The piercing pain, combined with the foreign toxins and the momentary disappearance of its spirit power, drove it into a frenzy.

But within a single second, Luo Chen had already reached its front.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a spider leg pierced through its body, and blood dripped onto the ground from the hole in its chest, continuously corroding the soil with a sizzling sound.

"Roar!!!"

The piercing pain was even more intense than before, and the Man Faced Demon Spider fell into a state of complete madness. Just as its spirit power mobilization was restored, its eight spider legs, infused with toxins and spirit power, lashed out at Luo Chen repeatedly.

But how could Luo Chen let it succeed? He simply used his spider legs to flick himself away, retreating to a relatively safe distance.

The red-eyed Man Faced Demon Spider naturally wouldn't let him off easily, continuing to charge at Luo Chen with claws bared and fangs exposed.

Only this time, what awaited it was a golden light.
