Taming Little Spider and Making Hu Liena Wash His Underwear

Chu Hao had never expected that this trip would earn him a Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone.

External Soul Bones were already exceedingly rare to begin with. Even one that was only a thousand years old was enough to rival a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Yet after fusion and advancement, the External Soul Bone he obtained had directly evolved into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Moreover, it was still in its most primitive state, with even greater room for future evolution and advancement.

One could only imagine how precious this Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone truly was.

Even Chu Hao, an old fan who had read the original work countless times, was utterly overjoyed.

At that moment, he thought of the Eight Spider Lances Tang San had obtained in the original story.

Compared to his Ten Spider Swords, they were utter trash.

If even Tang San's trashy Eight Spider Lances could evolve into an existence on par with a super divine artifact, then wouldn't his Ten Spider Swords be able to advance into something beyond even a super divine artifact?

They might even become the number one divine weapon in the Douluo God Realm.

At the thought, he could hardly wait to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and find the Man-Faced Demon Spider that had allowed Tang San to obtain the Eight Spider Lances.

If he devoured the Eight Spider Lances that it produced after death, what kind of evolution would his Ten Spider Swords undergo?

That gave him a little something to look forward to.

Now that he had thought of it, he needed to pick up the pace.

In order to speed things up, Chu Hao could no longer afford to celebrate. He sprang to his feet, ready to continue deeper into the Sunset Forest.

But then he noticed that his body was covered in black, viscous filth. It was likely the impurities expelled when he fused the two Soul Bones.

There was no helping it—the smell was rather strong. He could only return to the riverbank and take a bath first.

Yet just a few steps after he got up to leave, a tiny shadow silently approached from behind him.

That tiny shadow was Little Spider, which had been lying in wait.

However, Little Spider was not approaching Chu Hao, but the corpse of the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor.

If it had been anyone else, they likely would not have noticed Little Spider, whose aura was completely concealed.

But it had chosen the wrong target. Chu Hao had noticed its presence the moment it began to move.

Still, he did not immediately kill it. Instead, he wanted to see what Little Spider intended to do.

He had noticed that the corpses of most of the demon spiders nearby looked as if they had been hollowed out, their deaths gruesome.

That definitely was not caused by his killing sword aura. Someone—or some Soul Beast—had to be behind it.

Under those circumstances, Little Spider was the first thing Chu Hao thought of.

Only a Soul Beast like a demon spider, one with slaughter in its nature, would treat the corpses of its own kind as food and nourishment.

To get to the bottom of it, Chu Hao deliberately pretended to leave. He hid more than ten meters away and used the God-Demon Eye to keep watch.

When he saw Little Spider completely devour the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's remaining bloodline power, his brows drew tightly together.

He liked that ruthlessness.

At that moment, he developed the thought of taming it and keeping it by his side.

That was because he had taken a liking to Little Spider's innate skill, which allowed it to rapidly and continuously grow stronger through devouring.

Keeping it by his side would also add a powerful fighting force, helping him expand his territory and advance into the Soul Beast world.

Of course, if Little Spider refused to behave, he could always raise it into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before killing it for its Soul Ring and Soul Bone. That was not out of the question either.

Sure enough, after devouring the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's bloodline power, Little Spider's body doubled in size again, and its form changed as well. It had thoroughly inherited the traits of both the Man-Faced Demon Spider and the Crypt Demon Spider clans.

"Not bad, little guy. You've got potential."

"Submit or die!"

Having made his decision, Chu Hao acted at once. With a single leap, he landed before Little Spider and unleashed a towering killing intent.

Little Spider was startled by Chu Hao's sudden appearance and hurriedly tried to flee.

It was no match for Chu Hao.

But just as it was about to run, Chu Hao blocked every possible escape route with tens of thousands of sword gleams.

Seeing this, Little Spider hurriedly began digging a hole!

However, Chu Hao had long been prepared. With a point of his sword finger, streak after streak of sword gleam burrowed into the ground.

Before long, Little Spider was forced back out.

With nowhere left to retreat, Little Spider had no choice but to fight for its life.

Black-red light flared from its body.

In an instant, Little Spider transformed into a demon spider roughly the size of the Man-Faced Demon Spider King. Soul Power surged from its body, erupting with a cold and sinister Soul Power pressure.

Chu Hao was greatly shocked when he sensed it.

Well, damn!

This Little Spider had been playing weak all along.

With such vast Soul Power pressure, it had at least over ten thousand years of cultivation.

With its current bloodline, it could at the very least trick and kill any soul beast below fifty thousand years.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger, huh.

"Submit, or die!"

Chu Hao grew increasingly intrigued by Little Spider's intelligence. He directly raised his imposing aura to the limit, utterly crushing it.

The terrifying killing intent, icy presence, and overwhelming aura left Little Spider trembling in fear.

After all, the more intelligent a living creature was, the more it feared death.

Sure enough, Little Spider immediately gave in, slightly raising its body and striking a pleading pose.

It had to be said, the little fellow really knew how to put on a show. That begging posture was absurdly funny.

"At least you know what's good for you."

"If I find out you're harboring any little schemes, I'll kill you without mercy!"

Chu Hao withdrew his pressure, held the Hades Sword, and casually slashed. A dark-red sword aura of slaughter shot forth, carving a deep fissure into the ground before him.

Little Spider looked up, its entire body trembling slightly, its eyes filled with fear.

Clearly, Chu Hao's strike had successfully intimidated it.

"Shrink!"

Seeing that Little Spider knew fear, Chu Hao nodded in satisfaction and coldly commanded.

Upon hearing this, Little Spider hurriedly shrank its body, terrified that if it moved too slowly, he would kill it with a single slash.

"Still too big. Shrink to your smallest size!"

Chu Hao's brow tightened slightly when Little Spider had shrunk to half his height.

He couldn't exactly take such a huge spider wandering around everywhere.

It was no big deal in Sunset Forest, but what if they left Sunset Forest?

Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Seeing that he was still dissatisfied, Little Spider continued shrinking pitifully until it was the size of a palm.

That was already its limit.

"That's more like it."

"From now on, your name is Xiao Zhu."

Chu Hao nodded in satisfaction, gestured for Little Spider to jump onto his shoulder, and then returned the way he had come.

By the time he returned to the stream, dawn was beginning to break.

After taking another look at Hu Liena and the other two, who were still asleep, Chu Hao directly jumped into the water and washed away the impurities on his body.

At the same time, Chu Hao accurately tossed his sticky clothes onto Hu Liena, startling her awake.

Hu Liena thought a soul beast was attacking, and she hurriedly got up in fright.

Because she rose too abruptly, she also woke Yan and Xie Yue.

As for Du Feng, he had already awakened when Chu Hao returned.

"Why are you panicking? Hurry up and wash my clothes!"

Just as Hu Liena was about to throw away the unbearably foul-smelling clothes in her hands, while Yan and Xie Yue remained on high alert, Chu Hao's cold voice slowly drifted over.

Hu Liena's delicate body trembled slightly. Following the sound, she saw Chu Hao standing in the river, letting the flowing water wash over him.

Beside him, an inconspicuous little spider was happily playing in the water.

"Understood!"

Hu Liena expressionlessly walked toward the riverbank.

"And my underwear."

When she reached the riverbank, Chu Hao took off his underwear in the water and tossed it over as well.

It couldn't be helped. Even his outer clothes had been soaked through with sticky impurities, let alone what he wore underneath.
