In the clearing, the air seemed to tighten in an invisible giant hand. Golden light surged around Jin Li'er, and the silhouette of a Golden Crocodile solidified behind her. She clenched both hands, and metallic crocodile claws instantly took shape, their sharp blades gleaming coldly. Her once-lively eyes became slit pupils, locking icily onto the Man Faced Demon Spider ahead.
This Man Faced Demon Spider looked fiercer than an ordinary thousand-year Soul Beast. Its purplish-black carapace was as hard as iron, and its eight thick legs gouged deep furrows into the ground. Its head, bearing a hideous human face, kept turning, cold light flaring in all six compound eyes. A savage aura rushed toward them, as though it would pounce the next instant and tear them both apart.
Yang Chang'an stood beside Jin Li'er, his gaze fixed on the Man Faced Demon Spider as he quietly extended his Soul Power into his Soul Tool. With a flick of his fingers, two lustrous white pills appeared in his palm, giving off a faint herbal fragrance. He raised his hand and tossed them to Jin Li'er.
"These are Miasma-Breaking Pills. They can counter its poisonous miasma. I'll pin down its legs in a moment. The rest is yours."
Although Yang Chang'an was obsessed with cultivation and had little knowledge of medicines and poisons, his Soul Tool held an entire chest of antidote pills he had specially prepared. After all, in this world, even the strongest had reason to fear insidious tricks. A cautious hand could keep a ship sailing for ten thousand years.
Jin Li'er caught the pills, tipped back her head, and swallowed them in one gulp. She nodded firmly, a confident smile curling her lips as she unleashed the Soul Power within her without restraint.
"Roar!"
A low roar rose
