Chapter 336
Though Late, It Arrives: The Human-Faced Demon Spider!
They moved at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, creating a blurry afterimage, yet strangely, they made no sound.
Each time it touched the ground, the sharp tip silently pierced the soft ground covered with humus and fallen leaves, leaving behind tiny, bottomless holes, before being pulled out lightly, as if the hard ground were just soft tofu.
Its movement is a terrifying combination of extreme silence and extreme speed.
One moment it was ten meters away, the next moment, that huge black body, exuding an aura of death, had already teleported across space and stood abruptly less than five meters in front of Tang San!
A strong, sweet, fishy smell, mixed with rotting plants and some indescribable sour stench, hit Tang San and almost suffocated him.
Two of its eight long legs, the front legs, were like venomous snakes poised to strike. The moment Tang San saw its full form, they were already raised with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
The sharp spear tips gleamed with a deadly dark light, locking onto Tang San's head and heart with unparalleled precision, one on the left and one on the right, like two black lightning bolts from hell, piercing down on his head!
The rapid lifting of its forelegs inevitably caused its massive upper body to tilt slightly upwards.
In that split second, by the dim moonlight, Tang San's gaze pierced through the gaps between the eight wildly throbbing, deathly legs, and glimpsed the scene on its lower abdomen—
With just one glance, a chilling aura shot from Tang San's tailbone straight to the top of his head, and the blood in his entire body seemed to freeze at that moment!
Beneath that gleaming, jet-black carapace, several twisted, pale lines were clearly visible!
These patterns are not random; rather, they clearly outline a ferocious, distorted, and venomous human face in a chilling way!
Empty eye sockets and a gaping mouth seem to be silently sneering, mocking the fragility of life.
Around this face, composed of white patterns that seemed to be frozen in eternal pain, close to the edge of the lower abdominal carapace, eight small eyes, shimmering with a ghostly purple light, were like stars from hell, coldly, greedily, and without emotion focused on Tang San!
That purple light was not the light of soul power, but a manifestation of pure evil and thirst originating from the abyss!
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his mind was struck as if by a thunderclap, instantly recalling the solemn and dignified teachings of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
"A nightmare for small soul beasts... a being that devours life... an object of hatred for all soul beasts... a terrifying, evil killer..."
"Human-faced Demon Spider!"
The name pierced Tang San's mind like an icicle.
He never expected that, having lost hope of tracking the Titan Ape and on the verge of exhaustion of both physical and spiritual strength, he would encounter such a terrifying hunter that even spirit beasts feared!
Its fearsome reputation even surpasses that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts!
The datura snake is nothing more than an appetizer in its presence!
At the critical moment of life and death, Tang San pushed his Xuan Tian Gong and Purple Demon Eye to their limits!
Under extreme fear and stress, the brain enters a cold, high-speed operating state.
The trajectories of those two deadly spears, which fell with a stench of blood, were instantly analyzed in the vision of his Purple Demon Eye!
We can't tough it out!
The shell's defensive capabilities are beyond imagination, the spear's piercing power is terrifying, and the deadly poison that kills upon contact is incurable!
"drink!"
Tang San let out a short, sharp shout, his body moving like a boneless eel, and in the nick of time, he unleashed the Tang Sect's ultimate technique—Ghost Shadow Illusion!
His body pivoted on his left foot, and he suddenly spun and rolled backward to the right! The movement was as fast as a ghost, leaving a trail of afterimages, and he rolled away, narrowly missing the two black spears that were about to pierce his scalp and chest!
puff!puff!
Two long spears pierced deeply into the tree trunk against which Tang San had just been leaning, producing a dull tearing sound. The hard ancient wood was like rotten wood under the dark spear tips, instantly pierced through, leaving two terrifying holes the size of bowls, with charred edges as if corroded!
A dark green, viscous liquid with a pungent, fishy odor dripped from the spearhead, landing on the decaying leaves with a hissing sound and instantly emitting blue smoke, corroding small holes in the leaves.
"Such terrifying penetrating power and potent toxicity!"
Tang San rolled to the ground, kneeling on one knee. His heart pounded like a drum, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, his body would be the one pierced and corroded right now!
However, the attacks of the human-faced spider were like a storm, relentless and continuous!
Its attack missed, and the ferocity in its eight small, purple eyes shone even brighter!
Its two front legs were pulled out of the tree trunk, kicking up a cloud of wood chips, and at the same time, its ferocious mouth opened wide!
"laugh--!"
Instead of silk threads, a large clump of viscous liquid, shimmering with a ghastly green phosphorescence, sprayed towards Tang San, who had just regained his footing, like a high-pressure water gun!
The liquid rapidly expanded and spread in the air, instantly transforming into a giant spider web with a diameter of over five meters, covering all of Tang San's dodging space!
Spider webs are not woven from silk threads, but are made up of countless viscous, constantly writhing, and flowing ghastly green venom!
The net was covered with tiny, equally phosphorescent poisonous beads, emitting a stench ten times stronger than before!
The air seemed to be hissing as it was corroded by the deadly poison.
This is one of the most terrifying innate abilities of the Man-Faced Demon Spider—a neurotoxic spider web!
Once it gets stuck, the terrifying neurotoxin will instantly invade, paralyzing the nerves, dissolving flesh and blood, leaving you completely helpless!
There's no way to avoid it!
Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes were operating wildly, and the dark blue light almost shone out of his eye sockets!
He stared intently at the overwhelming net of poison, his brain making a decision in a fraction of a second!
Forcing your way in is a dead end!
The only chance of survival lies below!
"Mysterious Jade Hand!"
Tang San roared inwardly, and his hands instantly turned as white as jade and as hard as iron!
He suddenly channeled all his soul power into his legs, his body like a spring compressed to its limit, and just as the poison net was about to hit him, he slammed hard into the ground!
At the same time, the palms wrapped in Xuan Yu, carrying the gentle force of Xuan Tian Gong, slammed hard onto the ground!
"boom!"
The soil and decaying leaves were blown apart, and Tang San's body, like a mole burrowing underground, narrowly slid out through the gap of less than half a foot between the huge poison net and the ground!
A few drops of venom flowing from the edge of the poison net splashed onto his shoulders and back, making a hissing sound. They instantly corroded holes in his clothes, and a strong burning and numbing sensation came from the places where they touched his skin!
"hiss!"
Tang San gasped, frantically circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill to forcefully suppress the trace amounts of toxins that had invaded his body, but half of his body already felt stiff and stinging.
He dared not linger; the moment his body slid out of the poison net's reach, he sprang up like a startled rabbit, retreating rapidly! (End of Chapter)
