Devouring

The second encounter with the ferocious spider was completely different from the first.

After achieving physical sainthood, the body can not only withstand various attacks, but also influence the opponent in reverse.

If the opponent is physically strong but weak, it's fine; Zhang Xuezhou's reverse influence will be relatively low. But against a squishy opponent with high attack but low defense, he will make things very difficult for the opponent.

Zhou Rihui had tried hitting Zhang Xuezhou before the resistance layer was fully formed, but after a brief attempt, he refused to repeat the process.

The ferocious spider, which had been treating Zhang Xuezhou like an easy target, was also at a disadvantage after a series of grabbing and binding maneuvers.

I thought you were about to die!

Among the group cooperating, some were unfazed, some were surprised but didn't show it, while Ning Que couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he pulled on an alloy chain that was wrapped around it.

For Ning Que, his fighting style mainly involves a combination of evasion, blocking, and attacking. He had never seen Zhang Xuezhou's fighting style of rolling around with ferocious beasts before.

After rolling around on the deck more than ten times, the ferocious beast seemed to have suffered some major blow, its body falling into a trembling, frozen state, which allowed the others to weave in and restrain it.

It's alright!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

He was grabbed, entangled, and tumbled around by the beast's eight legs, looking rather disheveled. However, he possessed the Dust Avoidance Instruction and the Water Avoidance Instruction, which allowed him to easily remove the mud and dust from the deck. Compared to Zhou Rihui, he appeared calm and collected.

"Do we have to fight like this when we fight ferocious beasts?" Ning Que asked doubtfully.

"Beasts are different from humans; how you fight them depends on your individual methods. My methods may not suit you, and your methods may also be unique to you!"

Let alone Ning Que, even some older Sequence Holder have never seen a ferocious beast in their lives, let alone had any experience fighting one.

Most people would regard ferocious beasts as higher-level alien beasts, ignoring their intelligence. These ferocious spiders can even transform into human form, and their abilities have long surpassed the category of beasts. They are no different from Demon Race and can even be regarded as intelligent beings of another race.

"Its legs are hook-shaped, allowing it to easily grasp vertical objects and penetrate protective layers. Its silk and venom are extremely dangerous, and its mandibles are capable of tearing through alloy plates... Mr. Badun, we arrived just in time; we've saved your life!"

Zhou Xin approached Zhou Rihui to assist him, while Badun, with a complicated expression, went to Zhang Xuezhou's side.

Thank you!

Badun cupped his hands in acknowledgment, indicating that he accepted the favor.

He found it hard to believe that the ferocious beast that had left him helpless had been subdued so easily.

Zhang Xuezhou and his team created a time difference, causing the swift and ferocious beast to lose speed, which also led to its successful binding.

"Approaching this ferocious beast will cause you to lose control of your power, and even your domain power will be greatly weakened. How did you manage to subdue it?" Badun asked, puzzled.

"I don't feel anything!"

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.

The control and domain power guided by the spirit were suppressed by the Principle, but the power originating from the physical body did not disappear. Zhang Xuezhou and Zhou Rihui's fighting style was purely based on brute force.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't deliberately try to explain the relevant details.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou was being evasive, Badun called Gang Hao over.

"These leg hairs are seven or eight centimeters long, and they pricked me so badly that my whole body was red and swollen!"

Montes carefully plucked a long hair from a spider's leg. There were thousands upon thousands of these hairs on the spider's legs. They could protect him from the beast's penetrating grip, but the long, sharp hairs pricked him so painfully that he could hardly bear it.

"The leg hair problem is easy to solve. Just wear high-density steel armor on the contact area. This kind of leg hair has a very strong penetrating power into the body, but it doesn't have the support of limb strength. It relies more on the reaction force of our strikes to passively penetrate our body," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Zhou Rihui wore steel armor!"

"He seems to be just wearing a helmet?"

Protecting your head is very important!

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Zhou Rihui, who was more than 30 meters away, and saw that the bluish glow on Zhou Rihui's face still lingered. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.

The ferocious spider's special power originated from the Spider God Liao Meng, while Zhou Rihui's power originated from Xuan Ming.

Either their abilities are similar, or Zhou Rihui is even better, making the opponent's attack on the spider beast akin to a dimensional reduction.

Aside from his disadvantage in speed, Zhou Rihui was almost completely superior to this spider-like beast in every other aspect.

"Everyone hold on tight, we're about to start running, lest this guy recovers and breaks free. Steel Hair, come give us a hand!"

Zhang Xuezhou gestured towards Zhang Manqian outside the safety line. After a brief exchange, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and grabbed a dark blue spider leg. After trying twice, he quickly called for Montessler's help.

"Committee member Changkong, bring your sword and help pry this leg open a little!"

Zhang Xuezhou commanded everyone to work as if slaughtering a pig, but no one took it lightly.

Montes Steelhair grabbed a piece of sheet metal, rolled it up in his hand, and rubbed it repeatedly along the direction of the spider's long hairs before finally gripping it tightly.

Changkong Yinghao, on the other hand, remained vigilant, repeatedly thrusting his sword at the junction of the spider's legs and chest cavity.

He watched as his longsword thrust repeatedly, while the beast's body continuously healed and returned to its original state. Sweat unknowingly poured from his forehead, clearly aware of just how difficult this swift battle was.

Without appropriate methods to control it, this ferocious beast is a nightmare.

"Last time I wrapped spider silk around the spider's legs, making the beast struggle and pull its legs off itself. This time it's a bit difficult to pull them off, so Rihui-ge, come lend a hand~"

When the power level failed to break through the corresponding threshold, Zhang Xuezhou felt somewhat helpless.

He had reached the Sole Self Realm in physical techniques, making him exceptionally strong. A single swing of his arm could generate three to five thousand catties of force, but he still found it somewhat difficult to pull it out forcefully.

Seeing the ferocious beast begin to struggle after being torn apart, Zhang Xuezhou didn't wait to cause an accident.

He called out to Zhou Rihui, who was not far away, and saw Zhou Rihui rushing over carrying a three-meter-long spider leg.

With one foot stomping on the beast's breastplate, Zhou Rihui held the spider leg in his left hand and used his right hand to exert force. Zhang Xuezhou felt his grip loosen, and the black juice from the severed end and the beast's haphazardly spewed venom rained down.

"That felt great!"

Zhou Rihui has one spider leg in his left hand and one spider leg in his right hand.

He paid no heed to the struggles and spitting of the ferocious spider beneath his feet, feeling that this was a rare highlight of his life as a hunter.

If time had moved forward even a year, he would never have imagined he would be in this situation.

The hardships endured in the Sinkhole No. 2 have ultimately transformed into irreplaceable gains. The rewards of those past experiences, enough to drive a man mad, are even hard for his own father to believe.

Unbeknownst to him, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, even reaching the top level, as evidenced by his continuous defeat of ferocious beasts.

He excitedly exclaimed in his heart, and then he heard Zhang Xuezhou shout back.

When he came to his senses, he saw that the two spider legs he was holding had accidentally collided in his excitement and stuck together.

These two spider legs seemed to have mouths, constantly devouring the other one, and the more than three-meter-long spider legs rapidly shrank and shrank in his hands.
