Man-Faced Demon Spider, a notorious race in the Spirit Beast realm, known for their brutal and murderous nature, are called evil killers!

"Man-Faced Demon Spider, the face on its abdomen has just formed hair, indicating a cultivation level of around 1,500 years! Bei Bei, I want it!"

Tang Ya immediately became excited. The Blue Silver Grass's requirements for a Soul Ring were not too stringent, and many Spirit Beasts could meet the criteria. The Man-Faced Demon Spider was undoubtedly one of the most suitable types for her!

Her hand pressed on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her body curled up and flipped, landing lightly beside Bei Bei.

Two halos rose from Tang Ya's feet, the bright yellow Soul Ring pulsing up and down. Blue vines rapidly extended, which were her soul tool, the Blue Silver Grass. One of the Blue Silver Grasses wrapped around Bei Bei's waist, while more vines quietly spread out in all directions.

Bei Bei's face was solemn, showing none of Tang Ya's excitement. Despite being a three-ringed Soul Master, his Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, the world's strongest offensive soul tool, was powerful enough to defeat most 1,500-year-old Spirit Beasts.

However, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had an extremely solid shield shell, incredible speed, eight legs with explosive piercing power and potent toxins, and a terrifying venomous spider web...

He could easily meet his end here if he wasn't careful!

"Junior Ling, leave this to me and Little Ya. You protect the others and prevent the Man-Faced Demon Spider from suddenly bypassing us," Bei Bei said gravely to Ling Bai.

"Alright."

Ling Bai slowly retreated, moving to Ning Tian's side.

Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, witnessing this, fiercely mocked Ling Bai's justified laziness in their mental seas.

Whether using the Six-Winged Angel, the sacred symbol of the world, or the sinister and mysterious demon spider, both human and beast shared the same thought.

Ling Bai and the Man-Faced Demon Spider were about a 30-70 split.

Ling Bai could land three punches, while the Man-Faced Demon Spider could take seven!

The group had discovered the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and naturally, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had also noticed the human Soul Masters. Its eight long legs moved frantically, creating a series of illusions, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to Bei Bei and Tang Ya, lifting its two front legs and stabbing them directly at the two.

"Little Ya!"

Bei Bei shouted, feeling a massive pull on his waist. Tang Ya immediately understood, using the Blue Silver Grass. The leading yellow Soul Ring of her Blue Silver Grass shone, activating her First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement. Countless thick vines instantly wrapped around the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body, tightly binding it like a dumpling.

Bei Bei completed his soul tool attachment in mid-air, a dazzling blue light rising from his forehead and spreading throughout his body. Blue and purple lightning danced around him like small snakes.

The changes brought by his soul tool were minimal, except for the addition of a blue lightning symbol on his forehead and a significant transformation in one area.

His right arm!

The sleeve burst into ashes as his right arm, now half a foot longer, became extremely thick, covered in blue and purple scales. His hand, like a Dragon Claw, was also covered in thick dragon scales.

Coiling blue and purple snake lightning continuously gathered and dispersed on his arm, while his two yellow and one purple Soul Rings, unlike those of normal Soul Masters, circled only this unique, mutated arm.

"Dragon Transformation, the ultimate skill of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family, finally witnessed firsthand."

Ling Bai lightly stroked his chin, marveling.

"The first-stage Dragon Transformation is very stable," Ning Tian commented honestly.

Wu Feng, surprisingly, remained silent, her eyes almost glued to Bei Bei's dragon-claw-like right hand, filled with envy and desire.

Theoretically, all Dragon Soul Masters could undergo Dragon Transformation, but the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family had sealed the secret method for stable Dragon Transformation. As a result, no other Dragon Soul Master on the continent had yet completed the transformation.

In the center of the battlefield, Bei Bei's first Soul Ring shone brightly. Under the intense soul power fluctuation, a blue and purple lightning Dragon Claw shot out, fiercely striking the Man-Faced Demon Spider restrained by the Blue Silver Grass.

Bei Bei knew that even if Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass absorbed two Soul Rings, it would not be able to control the Man-Faced Demon Spider for long. After all, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was a highly venomous Spirit Beast, and its corrosive and neurotoxic poisons could easily break the Blue Silver Grass.

He had to quickly subdue the Man-Faced Demon Spider!

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was even more formidable than Bei Bei had imagined. A hazy purple light spewed from the face on its abdomen, and the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around it melted like ice, turning into pools of purple liquid that dripped to the ground, corroding deep pits.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider effortlessly broke free from the Blue Silver Entanglement and pounced at Bei Bei. This time, its first four spider legs were raised high, their sharp tips gleaming like spears. Its eight small eyes revealed a fierce murderous intent, determined to deliver a fatal blow to Bei Bei!

"Boom—"

Amid the thunderous roar, the Man-Faced Demon Spider pierced through the lightning Dragon Claw. Bei Bei's expression changed slightly, as his opponent's strength exceeded his expectations. Fortunately, he was not fighting alone. Tang Ya used the Blue Silver Grass to pull him to the ground, and the previous lightning Dragon Claw had bought him a few seconds.

Bei Bei landed on the ground, his feet tapping rapidly, his form becoming ghostly and ethereal. The second Soul Ring on his right arm glowed brightly, and the snake lightning expanded simultaneously. A net of lightning bolts flashed in the air, covering the Man-Faced Demon Spider like a web.

If the lightning Dragon Claw was a test for the Man-Faced Demon Spider, then Bei Bei's Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Impact, was the true killing move. Once covered by the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus's web, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would be history.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider, however, revealed its tyrannical side. Its body suddenly straightened, and its long legs forcefully collided with the Thunderous Impact, using the sharpness of its legs and sheer strength to create a gap in the web!

As it destroyed the Thunderous Impact, the Man-Faced Demon Spider even had the energy to shoot a web from its abdomen. The web expanded rapidly, forming a giant net five meters in diameter, reflecting a purplish glow in the sunlight.

Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao, standing behind, took a few steps back, wanting to stay closer to Ling Bai. Unlike ordinary spiders that slowly spin their webs, the Man-Faced Demon Spider could instantly release its web, which was extremely sticky and resilient, carrying the most lethal neurotoxin!

Wu Feng's face turned pale. A few hours earlier, she had been hammered into the ground by a millennium-old Golden Monkey Baboon, but if she had to choose between the Man-Faced Demon Spider and the Golden Monkey Baboon, she would rather face the baboon!

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was terrifying indeed!

As a prodigy of the Shrek Academy, Bei Bei knew he could not allow even a tiny part of his body to be stuck by the web. His body emitted intense blue lightning, and the scales on his right arm quickly spread to cover his right chest. His aura surged once more, and the purple millennium Soul Ring shone brilliantly.

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury!

The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus was known as the continent's strongest offensive soul tool, and Bei Bei's Third Soul Skill, Thunder Fury, could enhance his attack effectiveness by fifty percent, increasing his lightning attributes several times over.

Thunder Fury was not a direct attack skill but could boost Bei Bei's overall strength to a level that made him seem like a different person. Even some weaker four-ringed Soul Masters would not be a match for him now.

The vast spider web descended, its oppressive aura enveloping Bei Bei.

Bei Bei snorted coldly, the blue light in his Dragon Claw-like right hand swirling, the sound of crackling lightning faintly audible. The second Soul Ring glowed brightly, and with a flick of his right arm, a web of lightning expanded in the air, revealing a Thunderous Impact at least three times larger than before!

Blue and purple clashed wildly, producing a series of dull sounds. This was the battle between the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus and the Man-Faced Demon Spider, the masters behind the two giant webs!

In terms of corrosiveness, the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus was no match for the Man-Faced Demon Spider with its dual toxins. However, in terms of destructive power, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was far inferior to the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus!

Both sides had their strengths, and in the end, neither could prevail. The blue and purple gradually faded away.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was thoroughly enraged. After its web was destroyed by the Thunderous Impact, droplets of venom formed at the tips of its legs, emitting a nauseating, pungent smell. It leaped with its eight long legs, rushing towards Bei Bei.

This time, Bei Bei did not dodge. Facing the enraged Man-Faced Demon Spider, he advanced instead of retreating. His right hand swept across his waist, and dozens of white lights shot out, aiming for the eyes on the spider's abdomen.

"What is that?"

With his Spirit Eyes soul tool, Huo Yuhao saw the true nature of the white lights. They were not soul skills but steel darts, similar to what Tang Ya had used against the wind baboon.

"Tang Sect Hidden Weapons."

Ling Bai answered Huo Yuhao calmly.

"Hidden weapons?"

Huo Yuhao, hearing this term for the first time, furrowed his brow in confusion.

"An outdated relic, used only by the Tang Sect in the entire continent," Ling Bai said indifferently.

"Outdated..."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. He now understood why the Tang Sect had fallen to the point where a two-ringed Great Soul Master could be its leader.

Those who could not keep up with the times were destined to be left behind.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider's only weakness was its eyes. It quickly crouched to the ground, its protective shell hit by the hidden weapons, sparking a series of sparks.

Soul Masters could sense the strength of Spirit Beasts, and Spirit Beasts could sense the strength of Soul Masters.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider's cultivation level was on par with Bei Bei's. It was wary of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus's tyrannical lightning and thus chose to protect its weak points temporarily. However, as it defended, it realized that the force of the darts was far less than expected.

At that moment, the Man-Faced Demon Spider understood!

The Soul Master's soul power was about to run out!

Believing it had seen through everything, the Man-Faced Demon Spider switched from defense to offense, enduring Bei Bei's continuous Tang Sect Hidden Weapons to close the distance. It raised its upper body, supported by two long legs, and six spear-like legs plunged down, delivering a fatal blow!

This time, its speed was even faster, and the six spider legs were covered in corrosive purple light. Combined with its neurotoxin, even a slight touch would be fatal to Bei Bei!

Nightmare of Spirit Beasts, evil killer, the Man-Faced Demon Spider had used this move to devour countless Spirit Beasts and Soul Masters who ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest!

Just as the six three-meter-long, spear-like spider legs descended, Bei Bei smiled, a smug and cunning smile.

"Little Ya!"

The Man-Faced Demon Spider, raising its legs for the attack, naturally exposed the wicked face on its abdomen, its eight purple eyes glaring with a cold and bloodthirsty light.

Tang Ya, who had been hiding, seized the opportunity. Her left hand held a black box, and her fingers deftly manipulated it, producing a series of mechanical clicks.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

A series of mechanical explosions sounded from the black box, and sixteen black shadows shot out. Under Tang Ya's precise control, two shadows entered each of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eyes, instantly penetrating its body!

Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

"Sss—"

A shrill, piercing scream echoed through the quiet Star Dou Great Forest.

The Zhuge Divine Crossbow pierced the Man-Faced Demon Spider's brain through its eyes, causing its black-armored body to stiffen momentarily before convulsing violently on the ground.

Nearby plants suffered collateral damage as the Man-Faced Demon Spider, in its death throes, destroyed everything around it. The weak plants were instantly corroded by the venom, and the thick trees were shattered by its body.

A few minutes later, a ten-meter radius was completely devastated, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider's life came to an end, with purple light beginning to gather above its body.

"Done!"

Tang Ya jumped up, high-fiving Bei Bei, and cheerfully ran over to absorb the third Soul Ring. Bei Bei, on the other hand, took out a steel long knife and approached the Man-Faced Demon Spider's corpse.

The knife flashed, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eight long legs flew off, creating a bloody scene that only Huo Yuhao found unsettling.

The two most important things on a Spirit Beast were the Soul Ring and the Soul Bone, and Bei Bei was searching for the Soul Bone.

"Senior Bei."

"What is it?"

Ling Bai came to Bei Bei's side, his expression serious. "Don't you think we won too easily?"

"Easily?"

Bei Bei felt a lump in his throat, swallowing it with difficulty. "What do you mean?"

"The Man-Faced Demon Spider can spit a web three times a day. It only used it once against you."

"Yes..."

Bei Bei paused, then explained, "Maybe it was careless and didn't release the web, or perhaps it had already used it twice today."

"Your reasoning makes sense, but look here."

Ling Bai pointed to the armor on the Man-Faced Demon Spider's chest, the hardest part of its body. Bei Bei followed his gaze and saw two fresh gaps in the armor, which did not look like damage caused by the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus but more like marks left by a bird's claws.

"Compared to direct attacks, the Man-Faced Demon Spider prefers to ambush its prey from the shadows, a common trait among spider-type Spirit Beasts..." Ling Bai licked his lips. "And think back to when we discovered the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Didn't it seem like it was..."

"Running away!"

Bei Bei understood immediately, his face turning deathly pale. What Spirit Beast dared to chase the Man-Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest, forcing it to use its web twice before fleeing!

In the next second, Bei Bei saw Ling Bai lift his head!

Thinking about the marks on the Man-Faced Demon Spider's armor...

A bird-type Spirit Beast!

The sky!

A fierce wind suddenly arose, and a white shadow pounced towards Ning Tian and the others behind them!
