Tang San: The Evil Demon-faced Spider

In the shadows, protected by Dragon One's Spirit Power, Lu Li silently followed the Shrek Academy group below.

"Now that Oscar isn't here, Tang San and the others won't steal Meng Yiran's Phoenix-tail Cockscomb Snake. If they don't steal it, that Demon-faced Spider later on won't be injured by Duke Long and the others."

"Could Tang San defeat a Demon-faced Spider at full strength?"

Lu Li looked at Tang San below, who was gathered beside Xiao Wu with a smile on his face, and could not help doubting Tang San's strength.

Tang San had struggled so badly in the original story against that Demon-faced Spider already injured by Duke Long. If he fought one at full strength, it was hard to say who would live and who would die.

"No, why am I worrying about this? Tang San is the protagonist. His other Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, is enough for him to face that Demon-faced Spider."

For a moment, Lu Li had forgotten Tang San's identity as the biggest cheat character and could not help feeling annoyed at his earlier concern.

He could worry about anyone dying, but there was no need to worry about Tang San.

As the strongest cheat character, even if Tang San died, he could come back to life. His strength after resurrection might even surpass what it had been before.

He was a complete cheat.

"Now I just need to wait for one of those two beast simps, the Titan Giant Ape, to catch Xiao Wu's scent and come over."

Lu Li turned his gaze toward the forest's core.

Now, he only needed to wait for the Titan Giant Ape to take Xiao Wu away before he could make his move.

"Xiao San, did your teacher tell you what kind of Spirit Beast you needed for your Third Spirit Ring?"

Flender did not dare make the decision regarding Tang San's Third Spirit Ring on his own.

If he found Tang San a Spirit Beast to serve as his Third Spirit Ring, would that not be harming him?

"Yes, my teacher told me. For my Third Spirit Ring, it would be best if I absorbed the Spirit Ring of a Demon-faced Spider."

As the most filial Tang San on the entire continent, even if Yu Xiaogang had told him to absorb a Lone Bamboo, Tang San would have believed it was the Spirit Ring most suitable for him.

That was the extent of Tang Buddha's filial devotion.

Flender was stunned when he heard that.

"A Demon-faced Spider? That's not a bad choice."

That was what Flender said on the surface, but in truth, he had no idea what use a Blue Silver Grass would have in absorbing a Demon-faced Spider's Spirit Ring.

But since it had been proposed by his good brother, a Grandmaster of theory, it had to be the most suitable choice.

If he did not understand it, that could only mean his intelligence was not even one ten-thousandth of his good brother's!

When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San wanted to absorb a Demon-faced Spider Spirit Ring, her gloomy mood could not help improving a little.

Demon-faced Spiders were evil Spirit Beasts. If Tang San killed one, he would be carrying out justice on behalf of heaven!

Thinking of it that way, Xiao Wu no longer felt quite so distressed about Tang San hunting Spirit Beasts.

"Xiao San, if you want to use a Demon-faced Spider as your Third Spirit Ring, then I suggest we head north. There's a Demon-faced Spider nest there."

The thought of joining Tang San shortly to eliminate an evil Demon-faced Spider for the Spirit Beast clan filled Xiao Wu with joy.

She had never expected that she, Xiao Wu, would one day become a great hero who eradicated evil Spirit Beasts from the Spirit Beast clan!

Tang San and Flender both turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, how did you know there was a Demon-faced Spider nest there?"

Tang San was somewhat puzzled. By all rights, Xiao Wu was only level twenty-nine, and the two of them had been together these past few years.

So Xiao Wu should not have been familiar with the Star Dou Forest.

Xiao Wu's gaze darted away when she heard that.

What could she say?

She could not exactly say that, back when she was still a Spirit Beast, she had stumbled across it while going out to look for carrots, could she?

Would that not be the same as walking into a trap herself?

Xiao Wu's pink eyes spun, and her little rabbit brain came up with an excellent excuse!

"Because my mother was killed by the Demon-faced Spiders in that nest. My father told me this, but unfortunately, when he went to avenge my mother, he was poisoned by a Demon-faced Spider and eventually died from it."

As she said this, Xiao Wu even lowered her pair of rabbit ears at just the right moment.

Hehe. I, Xiao Wu, am practically a genius!

If I put it this way, Xiao San will definitely go with me to kill that Demon-faced Spider!

And if I include my father and mother, then later I can say that they were also great heroes who eliminated evil Spirit Beasts for the Spirit Beast clan!

From the shadows, Lu Li watched Xiao Wu solemnly spout nonsense below.

He was having trouble figuring out whether this was Douluo Continent or Actor Continent.

First Qian Renxue, then Xiao Wu—they both loved acting so much.

The key was that they acted as if it were real.

Xiao Wu's performance was rather exaggerated, so exaggerated that Tang San was already moved to tears.

"Xiao Wu, we'll go avenge your father and mother together!"

Tang San said through gritted teeth.

That Demon-faced Spider had killed Xiao Wu's father and mother, making her an orphan!

It had already embarked upon the Path to Die!

"Evil Demon-faced Spider! I, Tang San, will make sure you experience a fate worse than death!"

Tang San viciously swore in his heart.

Hearing Tang San's forceful words, Xiao Wu could not help feeling warmth in her heart.

Although Tang San did not look all that great after growing up, the way he treated her well was genuine.

"Xiao San, thank you."

Xiao Wu lifted her little tear-streaked face and revealed a fragile, broken expression.

Tang San nearly cried out internally when he saw that.

"Damn! Evil Demon-faced Spiders, I, Tang San, will make you endure every punishment of the Tang Sect!"

Tang San gently embraced Xiao Wu and patted her back to comfort her.

This time, Xiao Wu did not reject Tang San's embrace.

At the side, Flender only felt as if an incredibly bright light bulb were hanging over his head.

"All right, now isn't the time to be sad. Xiao Wu, Xiao San is right. We'll go avenge your father and mother together."

Flender coughed twice.

He, Flender, was already over fifty, yet he still had to play the role of a light bulb.

How tragic was that!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu pushed Tang San away and nodded through her tears.

Feeling the warmth in his arms disappear, Tang San could not help developing a trace of resentment toward Flender.

He had finally managed to hold Xiao Wu, yet before he could properly enjoy the feeling, they had been separated because of a single remark from that old man.

Lu Li, hidden in the darkness, did not think Tang San and the others were dragging things out at all.

"Keep dragging it out. Drag it out for one more minute, and the Titan Giant Ape will be here."

Lu Li glanced into the distance.

Rows upon rows of trees were falling there, and he could vaguely see something like a volcano rapidly heading toward them.

"Dragon One, don't act rashly later. Just restrain your aura and watch quietly."

Lu Li said this to Dragon One, who stood beside him ramrod straight.

He was also afraid that when the Titan Giant Ape attacked later, it would affect their location and cause Dragon One to act immediately.

"Yes, Master."

Below, just as Tang San and the other two were about to avenge Xiao Wu's parents, Flender, who was leading them, suddenly changed expression.

"Wait!"

Flender's breathing quickened. He activated his Martial Soul and stood in front of Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Just as Tang San was about to ask what had happened, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened.

Hm? What's going on? Why did the sky turn dark?

When Tang San raised his head to see why the sky had darkened, the sight before him shocked him so badly his jaw nearly dropped.

"A... a mountain?"

Tang San muttered in shock.

In stark contrast to Tang San's stunned expression, Xiao Wu wore the same shocked look on her little face.

"Er Ming! Why did he come?"
