Chapter 8: White Blade Jade Spider

  The full moon is like a silver plate.

  Warriors were all in quiet cultivation, Mo Yan's delicate body was hidden in the center of an ancient tree branch, her breath long and steady. Kalu leaned against another tree, holding a volume of poisonous scriptures with great interest. The medicine slaves lay scattered on the wet ground behind the earth dragon...

  Shi Yan woke up from his meditation, silently observing the terrain and secretly calculating.

  Mo Yan was at the front of the team, Kalu was at the back, and the two of them sandwiched him in the middle, seemingly ignoring him, but judging from their positions, they were both secretly on guard against him.

  Qiangsen seemed to know that he would have a mischievous move, and tonight he did not practice, but looked at the position ten meters behind him. As long as he had any unusual signs, Qiangsen would immediately detect and take action to stop him.

  "This is not good," Shi Yan muttered to himself, continuing to wait patiently for the few people to let their guard down.

  Time slipped away unnoticed, and soon the moon was hidden from view. It seemed that dawn would break soon. Shi Yan still hadn't found a suitable opportunity to escape, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yan decided not to wait any longer and prepared to take action.

  "Meow! Meow meow!"

  Just then, a strange sound came from afar, and judging by the sound, something seemed to be slowly approaching this way.

  Jīng yuán zài shǒu bì zhōng lái huí yùn zhuǎn de shí yán, yǎn jing měng de zhàn liàng, tū rán lái le jīng shén.

  Translation: Jingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up as he manipulated the stone in his arm, and he was suddenly filled with energy.

  "Full alert!" Mo Yan Yu shouted, her slender figure standing up on the ancient tree. With the help of her high vantage point, she gazed out into the distance for a while before suddenly exclaiming: "Bai Jian Yu Zhu!"

  All warriors suddenly awakened from their meditation.

  Only to see these warriors, one by one, with solemn expressions, taking out the blades from their bodies. Without saying a word, they immediately formed a circle around the Earth Dragon, surrounding it in a circular shape, each of them about five or six meters apart.

  Karu also put away the scripture in his hand, furrowed his brow and came to the earth dragon's side, saying in a low voice: "All of you keep an eye on the medicine jar on the earth dragon's body!"

  "Yes!" The warriors shouted loudly.

  The sleeping medicine slaves also woke up, and as soon as they heard that the White Blade Jade Spider was approaching, they were terrified and voluntarily gathered towards the Earth Dragon, apparently all knowing the horror of the White Blade Jade Spider.

  "Ding Dong!"

  A bunch of keys flew out of Mo Yan Yu's hand and fell at the feet of Qiang Sen, "Qiang Sen, unlock all the shackles on the medicine slaves' bodies, or else they will be killed by Bai Lian Yu Zhu, hurry!" Mo Yan Yu urged.

  Qiangsong picked up that bunch of keys and looked up at Moyanyu, pointing to the stone rock and asked: "Does he also want to unlock the shackles?"

  "Undo him, I don't want him to die too easily." Mu Yan Yu's face was full of impatience.

  "Listen up, kid. I'll be keeping an eye on you!" Janson growled, first helping Shi Yan remove the shackles from his hands and feet before moving on to free the other slaves, deftly unlocking their restraints.

  Heaven helps me! The shackles are removed, Shi Yan's body feels light and relaxed, with a cold smile in his heart.

  The Shi family was a "martial soul" clan, and although the master of this body did not become a martial artist, he loved to go on adventures and search for ancient ruins. He was no stranger to various demonic beasts. As soon as Mo Yan mentioned the White Blade Jade Spider, Shi Yan was overjoyed instead of shocked, immediately realizing that an opportunity to escape had arrived.

  The White Blade Jade Spider is a second-level demon beast, with eight sharp legs like knife blades. It likes to be active at night and is also a group-dwelling demon beast, appearing in groups of at least five or six. The White Blade Jade Spider has a cruel temperament and enjoys eating humans. In the dark forest, as long as these spiders see a human, they will not let them go.

  The demonic beast's skin and flesh are thick and rough, its movements swift and agile, and its body is often much larger than that of a human. Unless one is an exceptionally skilled martial artist, ordinary humans who encounter it will either be killed or injured. Although the White Blade Jade Spider is only a second-level demonic beast, because they always move in groups of five or six, coupled with their speed, ordinary martial artists can't keep up with them, making them quite troublesome.

  In the dark forest, encountering a White Blade Jade Spider can only be considered bad luck. This monster has nothing valuable on its body, but it is extremely aggressive and highly agile, coming and going like the wind. When they see humans, they will inevitably come forward to provoke and attack, and will not leave easily unless they suffer a great loss.

  Shi Yan silently walked towards Di Long and stood together with those terrified and uneasy medicine slaves, quietly observing the situation without rushing to resist.

  "Not good! There are eight of them!"

  Mo Yan Yu shouted on the ancient tree, her eyebrows deeply locked, and her pretty face solemnly said: "It's not easy to deal with, everyone must be in high spirits, remember! After the battle, don't take the initiative to pursue, the more dense the branches and leaves are, the more advantageous the White Blade Jade Spider is. Never fight them in the shrubbery!"

  "Ka ka ka! Ka ka!"

  The sound of a blade being inserted into the mud, getting closer and closer, soon, two white-bladed spiders, about 10 meters long and 1.5 meters high, appeared first. The white-bladed spider was all snowy white, with a body as big as an ordinary car, eight legs like sharp knives, shining brightly, extremely sharp.

  Its eight legs, shaped like sharp knives, moved forward with great agility and speed, arriving at this spot in an instant. The knife-like spider legs flashed with a cold light, captivating the heart, making it easy to imagine the tragic consequences of being slashed by those blades.

  The warriors watched as the white-bladed spiders appeared one after another, all with solemn expressions. Mò Yán Yù had already come down from the ancient tree and was standing at the front of the troops, her slender fingers surrounded by electric light, waiting to strike. Kǎ Lǔ sat in the sedan chair on the dragon's back, his eyes cold but not showing any panic.

  Eight white-bladed spiders finally gathered together. The white-bladed spider is not without wisdom, on the contrary, they dispersed and surrounded the earth dragon, like eight cars circling around the earth dragon.

  In a shrill, eerie howl, eight White Blade Jade Spiders burst forth in unison, their white, glowing legs sweeping through the air as they shot towards the warriors surrounding Di Long with a dazzling silver light.

  For a moment, the sky was filled with white flashing blades in motion. The warriors moved swiftly, dodging and striking simultaneously, their sharp weapons stabbing towards the White Blade Spider's waist, abdomen, and compound eyes.

  The scene suddenly became chaotic!

  The white-bladed jade spider surrounded the earth dragon, its legs falling from the sky. The warrior dodged left and right, his sharp weapon stabbing out continuously. The ink-colored jade "Martial Soul" burst forth, both hands flashing with electricity as bolt after bolt of cyan arc light shot out, striking the white-bladed jade spiders and causing their bodies to tremble violently.

  "Whoosh!"

  A warrior reacted too slowly and was slashed by the white blade spider's leg on his chest and abdomen, followed by a mournful cry. His intestines flowed out from his lower abdomen, and he fell to the ground.

  The medicine slaves were in a state of panic, hastily retreating to the ground dragon's feet, several terrified medicine slaves, seeing the blade-like spider legs approaching, actually crawled towards the gap between the white-bladed jade spiders, hoping to escape from it, but were brutally nailed to the ground by the white-bladed jade spider's legs and died miserably on the spot.

  Shi Yan's face was calm, with a glint in his eyes, as he moved slightly behind the warriors, the chains on his body clanking crisply.

  "Crack!"

  A Mo warrior from the second heaven of the post-heavenly realm, standing in front of Shi Yan, collided with another warrior while moving and was unable to dodge. He was slashed by one of Bai Jing Yu's spider legs on his neck, causing his head to fly high into the air, splashing fresh blood all over Shi Yan's body.

  Shi Yan's body was covered in fresh blood, and even his eyes seemed slightly blurry. A violent and bloodthirsty idea suddenly burst forth from his body, causing the 720 acupoints on his body to wildly rotate with a strong suction force erupting from within.

  Only the dead warrior's severed head in front of Shi Yan, his body gradually withering away, threads of aura that only Shi Yan could feel, filled with despair, unwillingness and madness, poured into Shi Yan's pores, flowing along his meridians into the 720 acupoints throughout his body.

  In a daze, Shi Yan felt as if he had returned to the Blood Pond. In the Blood Pond, his body's 720 acupoints absorbed a lot of blood water, which changed his acupoints and made them produce whirlpools, expanding their capacity and increasing the speed at which they absorbed blood water.

  At this time, the strands of air flow, mixed with the warrior's despair and unwillingness before his death, poured into his body along the same trajectory, pouring into his acupoints, extremely fast. The vortex in his acupoints was spinning wildly, as if swallowing and digesting those absorbed air flows, incredibly eerie.

  In just a few seconds, there was no longer any air flowing into his body. The dead warrior in front of Shi Yan had withered away, as if all the essence and energy in his body had vanished without a trace, looking like a severely dehydrated corpse.

  A bloodthirsty and violent idea suddenly burst forth from Shi Yan's heart, and within the 720 meridians in his body, the powers of despair, fear, ferocity, and evil quietly grew, as if urging Shi Yan to go on a killing spree.

  "Hiss!"

  A white-bladed spider's leg slashed out, heading straight for Shi Yan's skull. Shi Yan was shocked and forcibly suppressed the bloodthirsty idea in his heart, moving sideways to another warrior's side, narrowly avoiding the spider leg's fatal blow.

  "Hiss!"

  That warrior was blocked by a white-bladed jade spider, and the sharp weapon in his hand fiercely stabbed into the compound eyes of the white-bladed jade spider. The compound eyes of the white-bladed jade spider were pierced blind, and a chaotic strike hacked at the waist of that warrior, cutting him off at the waist, with an extremely miserable death.

  The boulder beside which the warrior was standing suddenly began to glow with an eerie light.

  His body's extraordinary suction power erupted again! From the two severed halves of the warrior's body, a mixed flow of furious and resentful energy flowed out, frantically surging into his muscles and pouring into his entire meridian system.

  Soon, the broken warrior also became a dry corpse.

  Shi Yan's heart was shocked!

  He immediately realized that there was another "martial soul" hidden in his body, which was based on the acupoints all over his body and could absorb the power of the deceased. This "martial soul" was extremely evil and eerie, even Shi Yan was shocked and uneasy about it.

  Right at this moment!

  One of the white-bladed spiders let out a strange, wailing cry, and the remaining six white-bladed spiders flew backward in unison, fleeing into the dense thicket.

  The white-jawed spider apparently realized that this group of people was not to be trifled with, and after two companions died, these white-jawed spiders finally retreated.

  Shi Yan's expression changed, and his thoughts about the mysterious "Martial Soul" were instantly withdrawn. Without thinking, Shi Yan shifted all his vital energy to his feet and immediately followed Bai Jingyu, dashing out like a bolt of lightning.

  Only by mixing with the White Blade Spider will he have a chance to escape!

  A warm current suddenly surged out of the meridians, pouring into Shi Yan's body and refining his Qi by more than double!

  Shi Yan's heart was filled with wild joy, his confidence grew stronger. As he charged towards Bai Jue Yu, he turned his head and gazed at Mo Yan Yu from afar, saying in a cold tone: "Mo Yan Yu, you'd better clean yourself up and wait for me, I'll definitely overpower you sooner or later!"

  "Get him!" Mo Yan's delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful eyes almost spewing fire as she chased after Shi Yan.

  Faster than her is Karu!

  This poisonous alchemist never made a move on the Earth Dragon, as if waiting for something. When Shi Yan charged towards the retreating White Blade Spider, he suddenly flew up from the Earth Dragon like an eagle and dived towards Shi Yan first.

  "Little one, we've been waiting for you to escape for a long time." Karu was already laughing ominously in mid-air.
