Ten-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spider Couple! The Cave Demon Spider's Sneak Attack!

For Soul Beasts, there were only two things in life.

Filling their bellies and reproducing.

Even cultivation was for the sake of filling their bellies and reproducing more effectively.

Now, seeing two giant spiders working away to reproduce, Ye Yang found nothing unusual about it.

Besides, "spider porn" did nothing for him.

Even so, he was tremendously excited.

These were two Man Faced Demon Spiders!

I finally found them!

And two at once!

Ye Yang was overjoyed.

Man Faced Demon Spiders that dared to fuck without restraint on the edge of the danger-filled core region were naturally no ordinary age.

The one underneath had a body a full two meters in diameter, like a huge water vat!

Its eight spider legs were five meters long and as thick as arms.

The tips of its legs were sharp as steel spears!

They were also covered in barbs, densely packed as steel needles!

Looking at its size, Ye Yang quickly analyzed it.

Most Soul Beasts grow bigger as they age.

Tang San hunted four Man Faced Demon Spiders in all. The first was two thousand years old and gave him the all-important Eight Spider Lances.

I remember its body was one and a half meters across, and its legs were three meters long.

Before the Elite Tournament, he hunted a six-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider in the Sunset Forest. Its legs were four meters long, with sharp barbs growing on them.

After the Eight Spider Lances devoured it, they evolved.

Later, the thirty-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider that blocked his and Xiao Wu's escape and indirectly caused Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself was three meters in diameter.

Finally, when he was adding Soul Rings to his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, he encountered another Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor, fifty thousand years old.

But the fifty-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor's abdomen was only one meter across, and it had pale golden markings on its body.

Looking at the Man Faced Demon Spider below, Ye Yang guessed, This one's at least ten thousand years old, around eleven thousand!

The Man Faced Demon Spider lay on its back with its abdomen upward, revealing a terrifying human-face pattern as large as a tabletop. Its mouth was stretched wide, as though it were laughing wildly.

Its eight fist-sized eyes were full of satisfaction, and it seemed utterly blissful.

The Man Faced Demon Spider on top of it was a size larger!

Its body alone measured a terrifying two and a half meters across!

Its legs were seven meters long!

It should have twenty thousand years of Soul Power!

Ye Yang was certain.

However, its body was too large and too heavy.

At least half a meter of each of its eight legs was buried deep in the soil.

With its legs bent as well, its height was greatly reduced, and the dense trees around them helped conceal their bodies.

Its presence was powerful and terrifying!

Even Ye Yang sensed danger!

Man Faced Demon Spiders were Soul Beasts with an exceptionally powerful bloodline, the nightmares of smaller Soul Beasts.

Like the Emerald Demon Bird and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, they were common enemies that other Soul Beasts would band together to attack.

As a result, Man Faced Demon Spiders were few in number, and those over ten thousand years old were especially rare.

But once they passed ten thousand years, their cultivation would surge once more!

They could easily hunt Soul Beasts under fifty thousand years old and contend with those seventy or eighty thousand years old!

A twenty-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider was even unrivaled beneath the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, comparable to an ordinary human Titled Douluo at level ninety!

With the two of them together, the Soul Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest that could threaten them could be counted on one hand.

Still, the stronger a Soul Beast was, the more it preferred to roam alone.

One mountain could not hold two tigers.

The same was true of Man Faced Demon Spiders.

Except when they needed each other to reproduce, they were solitary killers.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their close-quarters battle was fierce. The rear ends of their lower abdomens slammed together as they frantically clapped for love.

Their gleaming black armor was as hard as a tank's, and every collision rang out with the crisp clang of steel on steel.

Ye Yang frowned as he listened. It was seriously disrupting his thoughts.

If they had been in the outer region, he wouldn't have needed to think twice about ambushing these two Man Faced Demon Spiders while they were immersed in pleasure.

He could have charged straight in and unleashed a storm of swift attacks to grievously wound them.

Or he could have killed the Man Faced Demon Spider underneath first, the one that had only just passed ten thousand years.

Then he could have fought the one on top one-on-one. Ye Yang was confident he would win in the end.

But not here.

This was the core region, full of danger.

He had to kill his opponents quickly, without attracting too much attention.

If Ye Yang hadn't read Douluo 2, he wouldn't have been too wary of the Star Dou Great Forest's dangers with his current strength.

But he knew that, besides Da Ming, Er Ming, and the sleeping Soul Beasts, there were other powerful Soul Beasts in the forest!

Hiss!

Suddenly, the Man Faced Demon Spider underneath let out a hiss. Its body convulsed and its abdomen trembled.

Its rear end pressed tightly against the Man Faced Demon Spider above it!

Only then did Ye Yang realize that the one underneath was male.

The one on top was female.

Uh, the queen's in charge?

Male Man Faced Demon Spiders have become the disadvantaged group too.

Ye Yang grumbled inwardly.

Given how difficult it was for Man Faced Demon Spiders to grow, twenty thousand years of cultivation was enough to make her a ruler of her kind.

Calling her a queen was no exaggeration.

The queen also hissed as she took in all of the male's essence.

What an opportunity!

Ye Yang was about to strike while they were at their most relaxed.

But in the next instant, he stopped himself just in time.

He sensed that something was wrong!

Boom!

Before he could think further, the dead hundred-year-old Demon Eye Demon Tree flew up and hurtled toward the Man Faced Demon Spider couple at the height of their pleasure!

A three-meter-wide hole appeared!

Immediately afterward, a grayish-brown figure emerged from the hole, following the trunk as it charged at the Man Faced Demon Spiders!

Startled, the pair hurriedly raised their legs to block the dead tree and the attacker behind it.

But the hole was too close to them. The edge of its opening on their side was right against them!

The attacker was clearly cunning and had prepared in advance.

As the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen smashed the trunk and sent the pieces flying,

The attacker's special pair of short front legs slammed down at the male Man Faced Demon Spider's head as he lay on his back, preparing to turn over!

Those special short legs were like elongated shovels, only two meters long but half a meter wide and three fingers thick, with serrated edges.

They looked like a pair of upright bulldozer blades!

The instant those terrifying shovel-shaped legs struck the male Man Faced Demon Spider's head, sparks flew!

Screech!

A teeth-grating metallic scrape rang out.

The ten-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider's head, hard as steel, was nevertheless split open beneath the pair of shovels!

Before he could turn over, before his resistance had even begun, it was over in an instant.

Crash!

In the next instant, the attacker seized his still-twitching corpse and dragged it toward the hole!

Holy shit!

Only then did Ye Yang react, his scalp tingling.

A Cave Demon Spider!

Among spider-type Soul Beasts, it was the only kind that could burrow.

The Cave Demon Spider and the Man Faced Demon Spider were both among the foremost spider-type demonic beasts, though they followed different paths.

The Man Faced Demon Spider excelled in attack power, lightning speed, and deadly venom.

The Cave Demon Spider, on the other hand, used its two exceptionally sturdy, sharp front shovel legs to dig.

It also had a concealment skill, one of its two innate skills, which let it ambush and kill prey with ease. It was extremely devious and terrifying.

The Man Faced Demon Spider made Tang San, while the Cave Demon Spider indirectly caused Xiao Wu's death.

Though the Cave Demon Spider's silk wasn't poisonous, it was thick and tough, and could take various forms. Spider Web Prison was its second innate skill.

It could also control the silk with Spiritual Power, which was very strong.

The Man Faced Demon Spider was a master of close combat; the Cave Demon Spider was a master of control and sneak attacks.

Information about the Cave Demon Spider flashed rapidly through Ye Yang's mind.

This Cave Demon Spider that had launched the sneak attack really was bold and devious!

A Cave Demon Spider was only half the size of a Man Faced Demon Spider of the same age, with a slimmer, longer body suited to burrowing.

This Cave Demon Spider's abdomen was already three meters across!

Ye Yang was instantly certain it was thirty thousand years old!

Tang San had also hunted two Cave Demon Spiders. The first was a ten-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider in the Sunset Forest, whose Soul Ring he had absorbed beyond his level as his fourth Soul Ring.

Later, when he was likewise adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer,

He hunted a Cave Demon Spider Emperor with an abdomen five meters across and fifty thousand years of Soul Power!

In other words, the Cave Demon Spider's age increased along with its Soul Power, plain for all to see.

However, in a head-on fight, a thirty-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider could at best match the twenty-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider Queen.

With the male Man Faced Demon Spider, who had just passed ten thousand years, added to the mix, it would surely die a miserable death.

Besides, fighting head-on had never been the Cave Demon Spider's style.

Now it had succeeded in ambushing and killing the male Man Faced Demon Spider, and was about to flee with his corpse.

The Man Faced Demon Spider Queen flew into a rage when she saw her mate killed and dragged away right in front of her.

She let out a hiss, raised her two thick, sharp front legs, and stabbed them toward the Cave Demon Spider's head!

The Cave Demon Spider seemed to have anticipated this. It raised its two shovel-like front legs to shield its head.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out, like a giant siege crossbow bolt striking a heavy city gate.

Two fist-sized holes were punched through the Cave Demon Spider's front legs, and black blood flowed out.

But it had blocked the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's attack!

The Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's two front legs were also in agonizing pain.

Ye Yang reckoned it hurt as much as kicking a door barefoot.

But the Cave Demon Spider used the tremendous impact to retreat even faster, pulling its body and abdomen straight into the hole!

Pfft!

Then the Cave Demon Spider opened its mouth and spat out a huge web that spread over the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen like a cage.

However, the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's abdomen alone was two and a half meters across.

With her eight long, seven-meter legs added to that, even the thirty-thousand-year-old Cave Demon Spider's Spider Web Prison couldn't contain her completely!

Under the Cave Demon Spider's precise control, it covered and bound the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's four rear legs and abdomen, restraining the back half of her body.

The Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's forward charge came to an abrupt halt.

The Cave Demon Spider grinned, seemingly mocking her in triumph, and continued retreating with the male Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.

Seeing that it was about to escape, Ye Yang naturally wouldn't allow it. He struck at once!
