"This is a place even the Master can't understand. It's best to stay out of it," Di Tian said slowly.
"Sigh... even the Master couldn't do anything about it," Bi Ji sighed.
"Who knows if it's a blessing or a curse."
"It must be a blessing. The Master went there once and it was fruitless, but when he came back, his injuries actually improved a little."
"That place is something we must revere."
Di Tian's gaze was deep as he looked in the direction of the thatched hut.
That sword just now truly frightened him. If he had been hit by it, he would have been either dead or severely injured!
This was still Di Tian, the ceiling of Soul Beasts, with thick skin. If it were another Soul Beast, it probably would have died dozens of times already.
Chen Shenge was naturally unaware of the assessment of the ferocious beast, looking at the effect of his fourth soul skill.
He nodded in satisfaction, "Indeed, it didn't disappoint me."
"Each soul skill is stronger than the last, really good!"
Only with such strength could he meet the description of a reclusive powerhouse in his daughter's words, and only then would he avoid being exposed.
Sunset Forest.
After Chen Qingling obtained her fourth spirit ring, she felt it out slightly, a smile spreading across her face.
"Great, my soul power has increased by three ranks!"
She also followed her father's example and used her fourth soul skill, Light of the Spirit Butterfly, towards the sky.
Like father, like daughter.
The dazzling light almost blinded Chen Qingling.
Although it had no real offensive power, it was a group control soul skill!
Under the Light of the Spirit Butterfly, probably very few people could keep their eyes open, right? This would mean that they would be riddled with flaws all over their bodies, vulnerable to a single strike at any moment.
Rustle!
Suddenly, a strange sound attracted Chen Qingling's attention.
The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes, or perhaps the friction of leaves.
Chen Qingling turned her head, looking towards the source of the sound.
Then, she saw the originator of the noise.
Black. This was the color Chen Qingling hated most.
She didn't know why, but she simply disliked black. She liked everything else.
Perhaps it was because black gave people a sense of despair?
What appeared before Chen Qingling was a spider, a bizarre, massive spider with a main body diameter exceeding one and a half meters and eight spear-like legs that were over three meters long.
It had a completely black, shiny carapace. The front of its long legs were slender, and each step it took silently pierced into the ground, revealing their sharpness.
As Chen Qingling saw it, the Human-Faced Demon Spider seemed to have spotted her too.
Its eight long legs moved rapidly, creating a series of afterimages as it closed in on Chen Qingling in the blink of an eye.
Two of its front legs shot up instantly, aiming directly at Chen Qingling's head.
The raising of its front legs inevitably caused its body to lift slightly, giving Chen Qingling a clear view of its underside.
It was this glance that allowed Chen Qingling to identify its type.
On the spider's abdomen, there were white markings that contrasted sharply with its black body. These white markings formed a terrifying human face.
Eight small eyes, emitting a faint purple glow, were clustered on its abdomen.
However, two of these eyes seemed to have been damaged, leaving a bloody mess. Even the carapace on its abdomen had several cracks.
It was night, and if it weren't for the butterflies flickering around Chen Qingling, it would have been impossible to see anything.
Seeing the hideous human face, Chen Qingling thought of many titles for the spider in front of her.
Nightmare of small Soul Beasts, existence that devoured life, the object of hatred for all Soul Beasts, a terrifying evil killer.
These titles all described the long-legged spider in front of her—the Human-Faced Demon Spider. In the world of Soul Beasts, it was also a terrifying existence, a creature even Soul Beasts feared.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider had a solid carapace, incredibly fast speed, eight long legs with extremely strong penetrating power and carrying deadly poison, and its most terrifying weapon was its spider web.
Ordinary spiders spun silk to create their webs, but this one was different; its web was sprayed directly.
Not only was it extremely sticky, but it was also incredibly tough, and it was laced with a terrifying neurotoxic venom.
Just as the spider's legs were about to fall, the butterflies around Chen Qingling moved, directly sending the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which had launched a sudden attack, flying away.
Chen Qingling couldn't understand it. In this situation, there were actually Soul Beasts that were foolish enough to come knocking?
Didn't they know how to assess the situation?
With so many Soul Beasts protecting her, how could the Human-Faced Demon Spider dare to attack?
Truly worthy of being an evil Soul Beast; they would do anything.
Simple-minded and strong-bodied.
"Hiss… hiss…" The Human-Faced Demon Spider let out a painful howl.
Chen Qingling seemed to read an emotion of rage in the Human-Faced Demon Spider's eyes, and at the same time, her expression was one of surprise.
After taking such a hit, the Human-Faced Demon Spider wasn't dead? Instead, its shell was damaged?
At first glance, the Human-Faced Demon Spider in front of her should be of a very high age, exceeding ten thousand years.
Chen Qingling couldn't tell exactly how many tens of thousands of years it was.
Next, a strange voice echoed in Chen Qingling's mind.
"Butter... Butterfly God, rest assured, we won't let the thirty-eight-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider harm you!"
Chen Qingling's eyes widened, disbelieving as she looked around at the swarm of butterflies.
They could actually talk to her?!
So, the Human-Faced Demon Spider in front of her was thirty-eight thousand years old. No wonder it could withstand an attack without any issues.
Immediately, under Chen Qingling's gaze, countless butterflies surrounded the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Regardless of how frantically the Human-Faced Demon Spider's spider legs swung, the butterfly tide didn't retreat a single step, continuously attacking its hard outer shell.
Crack!
Even the shell, as hard as gold and stone, shattered at this moment.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider howled in pain, its hideous face making Chen Qingling avert her gaze.
"How can there be such an ugly Soul Beast in the world?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, stripped of its protective shell, was undoubtedly vulnerable and was quickly devoured alive by the swarm of butterflies.
"Eh?"
Chen Qingling noticed that the Human-Faced Demon Spider's corpse seemed to be glowing after its death.
She immediately landed on the ground, covering her hands with soul power, and lifted the glowing object.
"This is… an incredibly rare External Spirit Bone!"
One shot, one kill!
It exploded with a thirty-eight-thousand-year-old External Spirit Bone!
Not bad, Chen Qingling, always lucky.
Chen Shenge saw all of this and his eyelids twitched.
"Woah!"
"She directly got an External Spirit Bone?"
"Could this be Tang San's External Spirit Bone?"
Of course, he was just saying that. How could it possibly be Tang San's? After all, this was a thirty-eight thousand year old Human-Faced Demon Spider, completely different from the one Tang San absorbed in the original story.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my daughter's luck is really explosive!"
"It's just that this External Spirit Bone... isn't very useful!"
An External Spirit Bone is good, but my daughter can't use it at all!
