On the boundary of Baiyan City, in a dense forest on a certain mountain cliff
At this moment, facing the aggressive murderous intent of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Qiye felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
This is the first time that I have personally fought against a monster. Although I have the experience of killing monsters indirectly, it seems that no matter how many methods I have, I can't do anything at this moment.
Qiye once again realized: If the strength is not enough, everything is false.
Right now, he was in a very dangerous situation: there were monsters in front of him and a cliff behind him.
Moving forward, the force is outmatched. Back, legs and feet numb.
Under the pitch-black cliff, he didn't dare to decide whether there was any chance of survival if he jumped off hastily. The inner shadow of falling into the abyss has been lingering in his heart for a long time.
Gudu...
Qiye swallowed slightly, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Although he was in an awkward shape while escaping all the way, he still dared to look directly at the monster without fear.
Although there was a hint of timidity in Qiye's heart, it was finally completely suppressed by his courage that was not afraid of death:
We have already reached this stage, so what are we afraid of?
I have "died" several times before, am I still afraid of death?
In this case, then: risk everything and burn everything!
Qiye gave up the idea of escape and felt confused.
"Kill!" With a roar, he urged his shadow steps to rush towards the Man-Faced Demon Spider, with his heroic figure, looking forward to death.
Huhu...
The sound of wind blew through his ears at high speed, and Qiye rushed to the demon spider in the blink of an eye. In the midst of lightning and flint, he raised his silver snake sword and slashed at one of the demon spider's legs.
I originally thought that I could catch the demon spider off guard by suddenly striking with thunderous force and chop off one of the demon spider's legs.
However, just before the sharp sword was about to strike the demon spider's legs, he was shocked to discover:
That leg miraculously slipped away in an instant...
He avoided attacks faster than himself, and his movements were so agile that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch them.
Qiye watched helplessly as the blow missed, and then took a few steps forward with inertia. He forced himself to stop and turned his head, unwilling to fail, he stared at the other leg again and chopped it off hard.
Brush ~ failed,
Brush ~ failed,
Frustrated, frustrated...
Several of his attacks in a row failed. The Man-Faced Demon Spider was so fast that he couldn't touch it at all. He couldn't even get close, let alone cut off a limb.
Qiye's attacks looked like a child waving a stick randomly in a bamboo forest, unable to hit even a single bamboo.
If others saw it, they would definitely find it funny.
"Zhi Zhi Zhi"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider once again hissed mockingly, then casually raised its two forelimbs and stabbed at it.
"Dangdang..."
Qiye resisted the forelimbs that were as sharp as spears, while being shaken back continuously.
Frustrated, very frustrated, helpless and helpless...
Qiye retreated while gritting his teeth and holding back.
There is a huge difference in speed and strength between the enemy and us. This battle is simply a one-sided crushing.
Strength, strength...
He felt the importance of strength strongly and humiliatingly:
Without strength, even attacking is a joke.
Without strength, he can only be humiliated and passively beaten.
Without strength, all you have to do is kill or cut into pieces as you please...
In this way, Qiye dragged his right leg, which was completely numb and lost his intuition, and was forced step by step to the edge of the cliff.
The Man-Faced Demon Spider came down with a playful attack, but seemed to be tired of playing and lost interest.
After briefly stopping its attack, the demon spider stared at Qiye with its six eyes, revealing a murderous gaze.
This look made Qiye feel cold and shudder all over his body, and the air was so heavy that he felt as if he felt the arrival of death.
He realized that this time, the Demon Spider was going to make a killing move.
There was no way out. In the flash of lightning, Qiye made some determination.
"Squeak~"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider suddenly roared, opened its two halves of its fangs, and stabbed forward.
Qiye stood there without escaping
"Chi~"
The sickle-like sharp fangs directly penetrated the shoulder blades on both sides of his chest like sharp knives tearing through paper.
"Pfft~"
The pain was so deep that Qiye suddenly surged with energy, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his breath suddenly disappeared.
"Hiss~"
After a successful kill, the Man-Faced Demon Spider hissed in triumph, seeming to announce the end of its prey's life.
But what was unexpected was that Qiye, whose body was penetrated by the claws, briefly looked down at the injury on his chest and then raised his head, with a mouth full of blood and a strange and penetrating smile.
Haha... I won the bet: the Demon Spider didn't kill me completely with one blow.
Immediately, Qiye grabbed the demon spider's claws with his left hand, and stabbed the human-faced demon spider's eyes with his other right hand holding the sword firmly.
prick! prick! prick!
He stabbed three times in a row, instantly piercing three of the demon spider's eyes. The Man-Faced Demon Spider immediately retreated in pain and struggled to swing its fangs.
Amid the violent shaking, Qiye's body was suspended in the air. He grabbed the fangs with his left hand and swung his sword again, slashing towards the demon spider's head, hoping to kill it in one fell swoop.
"Dang~"
The silver snake sword struck the hard outer armor of the demon spider's head, making a solid sound of gold and iron. It shook his hand and the silver snake sword was instantly bounced away.
"So hard!"
Qiye was stunned for a moment. His right hand lost strength in surprise, and he was thrown away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Pfft~"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he looked even weaker. At this moment, Qiye ignored his own injuries and climbed up with difficulty, rushing towards the Man-Faced Demon Spider who was still struggling in pain.
The Man-Faced Demon Spider was still immersed in pain and struggling, not caring about Qiye.
This was a perfect opportunity. Qiye's first thought was not to escape.
Because he was seriously injured now, his right leg was paralyzed, and he had difficulty moving, so he couldn't run very far at all. When the Man-Faced Demon Spider recovers from the severe pain, it can still catch up and kill him easily.
Right now, we must take this opportunity to kill the demon spider completely in order to eliminate future troubles forever!
Knowing this, Qiye used his best speed to limp towards the Man-Faced Demon Spider, making a last-ditch effort.
"die!"
With a loud shout, Qiye jumped with all his strength and rushed towards the demon spider. He was so brave and unafraid of death, gods and Buddhas, he pounced on the Man-Faced Demon Spider with his bare hands, as if they were going to die together.
Just when Qiye was about to pounce on the back of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, his left hand flicked the air and grabbed the exquisite witch knife in the 'Secret Realm'.
As soon as the sword was in hand, a huge bloody air spurted out from the witch sword.
Qiye's weak breath suddenly shook, and a mysterious power suddenly hit him. His eyes were red and his whole body was black, as if he were a demon in the night, which was terrifying.
"kill!"
Feeling the world as red as blood, Qiye roared violently. Relying on his remaining consciousness, he grasped the exquisite witch knife tightly and stabbed the devil spider hard on the head.
"Chi~"
The exquisite witch knife penetrated the back of the demon spider effortlessly like chopping melons and vegetables, and the blade was completely immersed in it.
"Hiss!!!"
The Human-Faced Demon Spider was still struggling when the exquisite witch knife pierced its body. He let out a brief piercing wail, and after his body trembled violently for a few times, his breath became visibly weak.
At this time, Qiye was exhausted as if his spiritual power had been drained. He was thrown off by the Man-Faced Demon Spider's violent struggle and fell to the grass beside him, feeling dazed.
He struggled to hold up his upper body and looked at the dying Man-Faced Demon Spider, a smile that showed the aftermath of the disaster appeared on his scarred face.
After the Man-Faced Demon Spider was completely dead, Qiye felt relieved and was about to detoxify, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye.
He discovered that a luminous "elf" suddenly emerged from the body of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
If you look closely, you will see that the elf is simply a miniature version of the Man-Faced Spider, only as big as an apple.
"This is...a demon spirit!!!"
Qiye opened his eyes wide in shock and said in disbelief.
The so-called: demon spirits are actually equivalent to human spiritual souls. It is a very rare monster among monsters, a spiritual creature that is born from birth.
Its rarity is that among one hundred thousand monsters, only one monster can give birth to a monster spirit. And the monsters that can give birth to monster spirits have higher intelligence than their kind. Even the intelligence of demon spirits of high-level monsters is comparable to human intelligence.
Strictly speaking, the soul born from a monster is called a "demon spirit"; the soul born from a monster is called a "beast soul".
However, the monk didn't care much about this clear title.
but!
Demon spirits are something that many monks crave crazily. Its biggest advantage is that if you can swallow and refine a demon spirit, you can obtain all the skills of that demon beast.
This is another way to compensate for those who desire high-level martial arts but are unable to obtain them.
However, there is a huge risk in swallowing demon spirits, because the demon spirits are very powerful, and it is basically difficult to swallow demon beasts and demon spirits that are as powerful as monks.
Therefore, experienced spiritual cultivators will choose monsters and spirits that are lower than their own strength to devour.
Of course, not all monks are qualified to devour demon spirits. Only when the strength reaches the 'war spirit level' and above, can one have the strength to devour.
This does not mean that people with 'war soul level' strength can be foolproof by devouring demon spirits. This also depends on the monk's soul power and the demon spirits, which one is stronger and weaker.
If they are unfortunately back-bitten by demon spirits during the devouring process, they will become manic and furious, thirsty for blood, and will lose their senses and kill crazily, eventually dying of exhaustion or at the hands of others.
People usually call this kind of person who fails to devour, loses himself, and turns into a devil: "Demon"
The demon spirit that Qi Ye stared closely at this human-faced demon spider should actually be called a "beast soul".
Just when he was about to muster his strength to catch him, the demon spider beast soul seemed to sense danger.
"Whoops~", he turned around and ran away, passing by in the blink of an eye and ducking into the dark woods.
"Go!" Without any time to think, Qiye saw the opportunity and issued an order, and a ball of pitch-black black magic flame was shot out from his palm.
Upon hearing the call, the black demon flame immediately transformed into a fist-sized wolf head and chased after the fleeing demon spider beast soul.
After a game of fighting, Qiye's strength was exhausted and exhausted. In addition, he was poisoned and his right leg was paralyzed. He wanted to hunt down the demon spider beast soul, but he was simply powerless.
But at such a critical moment, he directly thought of the Black Demon Flame.
Since the death of the Great Protector, the black demonic flames have been integrated into his Huntian Wheel and become his own original fire.
Qiye inherited the Black Demon Flame and had the power to mobilize it. However, he had suffered a lot from the overbearing devouring power of the Black Demon Flame, so he was often deeply afraid of it.
But he was very unwilling to see the human-faced demon spider that he had just narrowly escaped death escape from so easily. Therefore, without even a moment's hesitation, Qiye unleashed the black magic flames to hunt down the demon spider beast soul.
Since he inherited the Black Demon Flame, he has never actively used it. If it weren't for the fact that he had difficulty moving and the situation was urgent, and the beast soul was such a rare thing that could only be found but could not be found, he would not want to use it.
Sure enough, as expected, the wolf head transformed into black demonic flames flickered for a few times in the forest, then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the demon spider beast soul in one gulp.
After devouring the beast soul, the black demonic flames took the initiative to get into Qiye's body and sank into the Huntian Wheel...
