This spider had a black carapace, shiny and bright. Its eight spear-like long legs were over three meters long, although now, four or five of them were broken.
There were some white patterns on the spider's lower abdomen, forming the shape of a ferocious human face.
But now, this human face had also been smashed in by half, and purplish-black liquid continuously flowed from the wound. The delicate Blue Silver Grass was instantly corroded.
The nightmare of small soul beasts, the terrifying evil killer—the Man-Faced Demon Spider!
However, this Man-Faced Demon Spider's luck wasn't very good, having run into Lu Feng's 'Justice Fist'.
"Boom!"
The spider's body slammed heavily against a rock. It struggled a few times but couldn't get up again. It looked like it wouldn't live.
Lu Feng walked over to the Man-Faced Demon Spider and looked down at it.
He could feel that this soul beast, known for its evil, was trembling beneath his feet.
"Heaven has the virtue of loving life. Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll spare your life today."
With a thought, Lu Feng flicked a fingernail-sized piece of Ganoderma into the Man-Faced Demon Spider's mouth.
In an instant, the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body trembled violently a few times. The bleeding from the wound on its abdomen stopped, and a trace of life reappeared in its eyes.
The next moment, the Man-Faced Demon Spider, whose front limbs were mostly broken, miraculously stood up.
Its small eyes darted around, seeming to wonder why this soul master didn't kill it to obtain its soul ring.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider no longer hesitated. Its body moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the jungle.
Lu Feng looked at the purple cluster of light dropped on the ground, and the corner of his mouth rose.
[Picked up a purple skill [Devour] fragment *1 (5/10)]
Originally, after Lu Feng had found this soul beast, he had planned to kill it directly to obtain its soul bone.
However, he had suddenly thought of a problem. There was no rhyme or reason to soul bone drops. What if, after killing this soul beast, it didn't drop the Eight Spider Lances?
Wouldn't that all be for nothing?
Therefore, Lu Feng decided to be more prudent. Just like how he had dealt with that white tiger back then, he would get the fragments first.
Lu Feng squatted down and rubbed Luo Wupao's large head. "Wupao, continue to track this soul beast until we've fleeced it bald."
"Luo, luo!"
The man and the dog continued to advance into the forest.
Spirit Hunting Market, inside a hotel room.
The members of Shrek gathered together, the atmosphere slightly heavy.
At this moment, Dai Mubai was the first to speak, breaking the silence, "It's already been seven or eight days. I think it's meaningless for us to continue waiting here."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
"Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint powerhouse. Since he hasn't returned for so long, I estimate he's probably still in the forest recovering from his injuries," Dai Mubai pondered.
Ma Hongjun nodded. "Boss Dai is right. Teacher Zhao might have been delayed by something. Let's discuss helping Little Ao get his soul ring."
Hearing this, Oscar looked at Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun gratefully.
He had wanted to say this for a long time.
It was just that among the group, his strength was the weakest, and he didn't have much of a say.
In Oscar's opinion, Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint level powerhouse. How could any accident happen to him?
Even if he ran into trouble, their group wouldn't be able to help him.
"What about Lu Feng and Xiao Wu? Are we just going to abandon them too?" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
As her voice fell, Tang San also raised his head to look at Dai Mubai, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Dai Mubai met the two cold gazes and immediately felt a chill down his back. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to abandon them. What if, and I'm just saying what if, they can't come back? Are we going to wait here for the rest of our lives?"
Dai Mubai coughed lightly and continued, "Tang San, if I'm not mistaken, you also broke through to level thirty last night, right?"
As his voice fell, everyone turned their gazes to Tang San.
"Level thirty!"
Ning Rongrong covered her small mouth, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
A level thirty Soul Elder before the age of thirteen. Even though she came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, she had never seen such a talented soul master, or even heard of one.
Oscar walked up, patted Tang San's shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Little San, you're really amazing."
This was one of the few pieces of good news on this trip.
Dai Mubai stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "We'll go hunt for a soul ring, and then leave a note at the hotel, telling Lu Feng and Xiao Wu to go straight back to the academy."
"The Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous; we can't go back. I know of a soul beast forest nearby. I obtained my third soul ring there," Dai Mubai added.
"I've said my piece. Who agrees, and who objects?"
As his voice fell, Oscar and Ma Hongjun immediately raised their right hands. These two were Dai Mubai's 'left and right arms'. The reputation of the 'Three Shrek Scoundrels' was somewhat famous in Suotuo City.
Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't moved, and pouted. She really wanted to go out. After being cooped up in the hotel for several days, she felt like she was growing mold.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong's watery eyes and also raised her right hand.
She was just worried about Lu Feng and wanted to wait a few more days, but she had more confidence in Lu Feng's strength.
Among the group, only Tang San didn't move.
In his opinion, his third soul ring was far less important than Xiao Wu.
Moreover, there were still two or three days left until the time Lu Feng had promised. An obsession had almost formed in Tang San's heart. If he didn't see Lu Feng, he had no mind to absorb a soul ring at all.
At this moment, Dai Mubai walked in front of Tang San and said in a deep voice, "Little San, I know you're very worried about Xiao Wu. But with your current strength, even if you were to face that giant ape again, what could you do?"
Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder. "No matter when, improving your own strength is always the most important thing."
Hearing this, Tang San immediately raised his head and looked at Dai Mubai.
He felt as if he were a drunkard who had suddenly had a basin of cold water poured over him, and his mind instantly cleared up.
That's right. Xiao Wu is missing, and I have an undeniable responsibility. In the final analysis, it's because my own strength is too weak.
If I had that senior in black's strength...
Tang San clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath. He nodded at Dai Mubai and said, "Alright, Boss Dai, I'll listen to you."
Seeing this, the corner of Dai Mubai's mouth rose slightly. With this plan, he wouldn't delay the spirit hunt, and he had given everyone an explanation.
Most importantly, he loved this feeling of being looked up to.
Immediately, Dai Mubai waved his hand and led the group downstairs.
At the hotel's front desk.
"Hello, we're from Shrek Academy. We'd like to leave a note for our companion."
The receptionist took the note from Dai Mubai and sized up the group.
"Shrek? What are your names?"
Dai Mubai frowned slightly. Why does this receptionist have no foresight at all? He's somewhat embarrassing me, Young Master Dai.
"My name is Dai Mubai, and he is Tang San," Dai Mubai said casually.
"Tang San? What a strange name," the receptionist muttered to himself.
Then he put the note away. "Alright, if your companion comes back, I'll naturally tell him. But if it's been too long, I won't be responsible."
The group left the hotel. Ma Hongjun muttered with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, what kind of service attitude is that? This young master will never come here again."
"Alright, Fatty, say a few less words," Dai Mubai comforted.
In the spirit hunting market, the receptionist quickly ran to a camp with the note.
"Quick, go and report to the boss! That little thief who stole from the treasury back then has appeared!"
