Because of the excessive exertion they had previously experienced, neither Tang San nor Qi Ling had recovered to their optimal condition. Tang San, in particular, had lost a significant amount of blood and it would be virtually impossible for him to recover in less than a month.
So at this moment, Xiao Wu volunteered, saying, "Then leave it to me! Brother San, I know there are a lot of wicked Soul Beast. We can go and take care of them; it'll be a good deed for the Star Dou Great Forest."
Tang San smiled wryly, "Those Soul Beast you mentioned, they're probably not easy to deal with, right? Otherwise, they should have been killed by the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python long ago."
"There's nothing we can do, they're all too fast runners, otherwise we would have caught them all long ago," Xiao Wu said regretfully.
"That's easy. I can't speak for other things, but finding Soul Beast is definitely no problem!" Qi Ling laughed. "After all, the two people with the best eyesight in the world are right here. What kind of Soul Beast can't we find?"
Because, in Tang San's case, although he is not yet able to withstand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he is already very close to that age limit. Moreover, the higher the age of the Soul Ring he absorbs, the better the foundation he can lay for his Seventh Soul Ring later.
Therefore, among the various evil Soul Beast mentioned by Xiao Wu, Qi Ling decided on Tang San's target for this time: a 90,000-year- Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider.
This spider is actually the same type of Soul Beast as the Cave Demon Spider that is the Soul Beast of Tang San's Fourth Soul Ring. In this way, not only can it greatly enhance Tang San's Fourth Soul Skill, but it can also reduce the difficulty for Tang San to absorb the Soul Ring, allowing him to absorb it smoothly.
Otherwise, even a 90,000-year Soul Ring would exceed Tang San 'Tang San tolerance limit, making this the best option for him right now.
Of course, besides that, Qi Ling had another thing she wanted to help Tang San find: the ten-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider. Although its age wasn't old enough to be Tang San's Soul Ring, it was the key to Tang San's Soul Bone evolution, even more important than the Soul Ring itself.
With Qi Ling's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils and Tang San's Purple Demon Eye working in tandem, they quickly found the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider. This spider, which does not weave webs, usually lives in caves and possesses amazing jumping ability and a fighting prowess that rivals any predator.
Moreover, this Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider was even larger, reaching a full three meters in length. If it weren't for the fact that its burrows were interconnected, it would probably have been caught by Da Ming and Er Ming long ago.
However, any Soul Beast that can live for such a long time must have its own extraordinary abilities. Being greedy for life and afraid of death is definitely an essential skill. Therefore, in order to capture it, Qi Ling and the others first need to lure it out of the cave.
" Brother Qi, what should we do? This guy is very greedy, but his sense of smell is extremely keen. Ordinary traps can't fool him at all!" Xiao Wu said worriedly.
"Greedy? Keen sense of smell?" Qi Ling laughed upon hearing these two keywords. "Those two conditions are enough; I have a way to deal with it!"
"Huh? What method?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Use this!" Qi Ling said, pulling out a small bottle. " Beast-Attracting Powder!"
The Beast-Summoning Beast-Attracting Powder, which never fails to work, seems to be a miraculous medicine for dealing with these Soul Beast. As long as it is applied to the target, even a wooden stake will become a delicious treat that the Soul Beast will flock to.
So, lured by its simple appetite, the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider was quickly drawn out and, after some tentative exploration, cautiously advanced towards the bait.
Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Cage!
" Overbearing Dragon Spear!"
The suddenly appearing Blue Silver Cage trapped the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider, and then a long spear pierced its body, pinning it to the ground.
Even though their strength was greatly weakened, Tang San and Qi Ling's teamwork remained perfect. They didn't need to communicate with words; they could understand each other with just a single gesture.
However, for a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast, it was naturally impossible to be defeated so easily. So it quickly broke free from the Blue Silver Cage, endured the excruciating pain, pulled out the Overbearing Dragon Spear, and then rushed towards its cave.
"Hey, trying to run away? Do you think I'd let you get away so easily?" Qi Ling said, flicking her wrist, Immortal-Binding Rope flew out, firmly binding the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider's body.
Then, Qi Ling pulled on one end of the rope and began a tug-of-war with the cave spider. What kind of strength would a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast possess? Even Power Attack System- Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to fight them head-on, because that was the Soul Beast's forte.
However, with the blessing of the Divine Power of the Earth, Qi Ling actually managed to pull the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider out of its cave bit by bit, no matter how much dust it stirred up by digging into the ground.
Realizing it couldn't win in terms of strength, the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider immediately concluded that if it didn't deal with Qi Ling first, it definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
So it abandoned its plan to escape back to the cave, turned around and leaped towards Qi Ling, intending to kill him with its sharp mandibles, just as it had done with other Soul Beast in the past.
But this time, it faced an existence far beyond its imagination. Facing the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider charging towards it, Qi Ling calmly drew its Xuanyuan Sword, and the Xuanyuan Sword Realm unfolded, enveloping the spider within it.
Just as the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider's sharp teeth were about to bite Qi Ling, and if it succeeded, its venom would instantly be injected into Qi Ling's body, rendering her unable to resist.
But this was destined to be impossible for it. As it charged toward her, Qi Ling easily dodged its attack from mid-air, and then, at an incredible angle, chopped off its sharp teeth from its mouth.
Having lost its venomous fangs, the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider has lost its greatest weapon, leaving it with only its eight legs to fight Qi Ling.
However, within the Xuanyuan Sword Realm, the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider could not possibly defeat Qi Ling. Every time it extended its leg, Qi Ling would sever it at the joint without showing any mercy.
Finally, after the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider had completely transformed into a wriggling creature, Qi Ling said to Tang San with relief, "Alright, Xiao San, the rest is up to you. Finish it off and obtain your Sixth Soul Ring!"
Tang San looked at the Earth Tiger-Striped Cave Spider, which had completely lost its threat, and sighed helplessly. His older brother hadn't recovered to his best condition yet? Who would believe that?!
In the end, Tang San used the short sword he always carried to defeat the spider and obtain its Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Although the process was quite arduous, the reward was good. The Soul Power he gained allowed Tang San to level up three times, reaching level sixty-three.
"Have you finished absorbing, Xiao San?" Qi Ling asked Tang San. "If you've finished, get ready to receive your next big gift!"
