Chapter 63: Tang San and the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
"You, Sister Yanzi, and Sister Lingling are all the most important people to me."
Ning Rongrong smiled contentedly; all her fear and unease vanished with that kiss and that promise.
She held Ye Xuanming tightly, refusing to let go.
In a place unseen by Ning Rongrong, a voice also resounded in Ye Xuanming's heart.
"Sister Ayin, you too."
"Sister Ayin, you too."
The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor plant in his soul sea swayed gently without any wind.
A-Yin's consciousness went blank for a moment.
...
The next morning, Ning Rongrong woke up in Ye Xuanming's arms.
The sunlight outside the cave was already shining through the gaps in the leaves.
She shifted and found herself clinging to Ye Xuanming like an octopus, her cheeks instantly turning red.
She carefully raised her head and met Ye Xuanming's smiling face.
"woke up?"
"Brother Ye, you've been awake for a while, why didn't you wake me!" Ning Rongrong said a little embarrassedly as she wriggled out of his arms.
The two ate some dry food and leftover barbecue from last night.
Ning Rongrong had fully recovered and was chattering away, sharing her funny stories about sneaking out of the sect to play.
After breakfast, Ye Xuanming said to Ah Yin in his heart, "Sister Ah Yin, start helping me find traces of the Human-Faced Demon Spider."
Ah Yin's voice quickly responded: "Okay, Xuanming."
Ye Xuanming stood up, stretched, and his joints cracked.
He said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, let's continue our training in the forest."
"Okay, okay!" Ning Rongrong immediately jumped up.
She was willing to go anywhere as long as she could be alone with Ye Xuanming.
For the next two days, the two of them moved around in the outer and central areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Guided by A Yin's comprehensive "map", they avoided all the powerful soul beasts and soul master teams.
During this period, they encountered many soul beasts. When Ye Xuanming fought against them, Ning Rongrong assisted him. The main purpose was to train Ning Rongrong's assistance ability and the timing of her assistance.
Ning Rongrong's practical experience is growing rapidly.
She became increasingly adept at using the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her timing for assistance improved significantly.
However, there was still no news from the human-faced spider.
These soul beasts are rare and elusive; if you try to find them intentionally, you won't succeed.
That evening, the two found another sheltered spot under a rocky cliff to camp.
Ye Xuanming looked at the flickering campfire and made plans in his mind.
"Sister Yin, have you found it yet?"
"No, these soul beasts have strange habits; they don't seem to have fixed burrows." Ah Yin's voice also sounded somewhat helpless.
Ye Xuanming sighed.
Let's search for two more days. If we still can't find it, then we'll give up.
We can't keep wasting our time here for an uncertain goal.
He just made the decision.
Boom!
The earth suddenly began to tremble slightly.
From the distant woods came a commotion, and countless birds took flight in fright.
"What happened?" Ning Rongrong stood up nervously.
Ye Xuanming stood up, shielding Ning Rongrong behind him, and looked solemnly toward the source of the tremor.
The tremors became increasingly intense.
The trees swayed, and leaves fluttered down.
A large group of soul beasts were frantically fleeing outwards from the depths of the forest.
Some are a hundred years old, some are a thousand years old, and some are even over five thousand years old.
Their faces were filled with extreme fear, as if some terrifying being was chasing them from behind.
This was a sudden beast tide.
Ning Rongrong's face turned pale; she had never seen anything like this before.
Ye Xuanming's heart stirred.
Could this commotion be caused by the Titan Ape?
Without giving it much thought, Ye Xuanming carried Ning Rongrong as they weaved through the chaotic forest.
His speed did not decrease in the slightest. His toes lightly touched the tree trunks and vines, and with each rise and fall, he just barely avoided a fleeing soul beast.
Ning Rongrong hugged his neck tightly, the wind brushing against her cheeks, yet she felt incredibly safe.
In her eyes, Ye Xuanming was like the only unchanging reef in this chaotic forest.
"Xuanming, I've found it!"
Ah Yin's voice echoed in Ye Xuanming's mind.
"About seven miles to the southwest, there is a human-faced demon spider!"
"Wait a moment."
Ah Yin's voice paused for a moment.
"It seems... Tang San is there too."
Ye Xuanming's figure paused in mid-air for a moment, then his speed increased.
He didn't respond, but his actions spoke volumes.
"He is fighting a human-faced spider."
Ah Yin's consciousness followed Ye Xuanming, and at the same time, it also transmitted the scene from the other side.
"Tang San's fighting style is very strange; he attacks with small metal objects."
Tang Hao doesn't know those strange weapons or those strange self-created soul skills, does he?
Agin's tone was full of confusion.
Is this really her child?
Soon, Ye Xuanming arrived near his destination.
He found a dense grove of trees, put Ning Rongrong down, and made a shushing gesture.
Ning Rongrong nodded obediently and looked down through the gaps in the leaves.
In a clearing in the woods, a boy dressed in a blue outfit is fighting with a huge purple spider.
The boy looked to be about the same age as Ye Xuanming, with black hair and black eyes, an ordinary face, but an unusually resolute expression.
His clothes were torn in several places, his face was covered in mud, and he was breathing rapidly, clearly exhausted.
Several black crossbow bolts were stuck in the spider's body, but they did not seem to have hit any vital organs; instead, they only fueled its ferocity.
Eight long legs swung like knives, and purple poisonous mist swirled around it.
The blue silver grass vines in the boy's hand repeatedly wrapped around the grass, only to be easily broken off each time.
"Brother Ye, that person seems to be about to collapse," Ning Rongrong whispered.
Ye Xuanming remained silent, calmly observing the battle below.
The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing.
Tang San seems to have been driven to a dead end.
He roared, and a small, jet-black hammer suddenly appeared in his left hand.
An overwhelmingly domineering aura emanated from the small hammer.
"Twin Martial Souls?"
Ning Rongrong gasped in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.
On the open ground, Tang San used his last bit of strength to throw the Haotian Hammer with all his might, which slammed heavily onto the back of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
A crisp snapping sound.
The spider's shell cracked open, and it let out a shrill scream before collapsing. It was not completely dead, though its eight long legs twitched unconsciously.
Tang San himself had also exhausted all his strength, and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Right now.
Ye Xuanming gestured to Ning Rongrong, telling her to stay where she was.
He leaped down from the treetop and landed silently on the ground.
Just as Tang San was about to get up and deliver the final blow to the Human-Faced Demon Spider, he suddenly sensed someone behind him.
Tang San turned around abruptly and saw a black figure moving as fast as a phantom.
"First Soul Skill, Annihilation Overlord Spear!"
