"Grandma, what are you talking about?"
"You've fallen for him, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have kissed him," Snake Woman said with a smile.
"No way," Meng Yiran said shyly.
"Actually, he's quite good. Not only is his talent high, but he's also quite handsome, just a bit dark-skinned. Once he gets stronger, he'll become fairer. He's more than enough for you," Snake Woman said, knowing Meng Yiran's own worth.
Perhaps she was even marrying up.
A second spirit ring at the thousand-year level—he couldn't be an ordinary person. Perhaps his family had powerful individuals.
God of Agriculture: That's right, he's talking about me.
"Grandma, I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it if we meet again in the future."
"As you wish."
Xiao Ze did not leave the Star Dou Great Forest directly.
Instead, he had God of Agriculture search for a Man Faced Demon Spider. He definitely couldn't leave the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone for Tang San.
"Found it. It's directly above and to your right," God of Agriculture said.
Xiao Ze nodded, summoned all his Agricultural Sprites, and ran towards the upper right.
Soon, he saw a Man Faced Demon Spider with a diameter exceeding one and a half meters.
Its eight spear-like legs were plunged into the ground, extremely long and looking very sharp and terrifying, emitting a faint, cold light.
Its body was very dark, with white patterns on its lower abdomen, resembling a human face.
Eight dark blue lights flickered with a fierce glow, giving a chilling sensation.
"Man Faced Demon Spider, just over two thousand years old. You're the one."
The Man Faced Demon Spider was also considered a rare Spirit Beast, not numerous. This one might just be Tang San's.
"Charge!"
At his command, Sui Hua and the others all rushed forward.
The Man Faced Demon Spider shrieked, and its two forelegs stabbed towards Sui Hua.
Earth Potato King suddenly accelerated, and its starch armor appeared, blocking the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack.
Red Flame, the sweet potato, sprayed condensed syrup balls.
Hitting the Man Faced Demon Spider, a few flames suddenly erupted and burned.
This was Red Flame's ordinary Spirit Ability, Honey Bomb.
Jade Gold also continuously shot corn bullets from a distance, bombarding the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Hiss—
The Man Faced Demon Spider roared, sweeping its forelegs, colliding with Xi Mang's Holy Judgment Scythe.
Boom—
Xi Mang, with its excellent quality, had combat power on par with, or even slightly superior to, the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Man Faced Demon Spider was pushed back a meter by Xi Mang.
Sui Hua immediately charged forward, and her grain crown whipped one of the Man Faced Demon Spider's forelegs.
Crack—
The immense force directly snapped the Man Faced Demon Spider's foreleg.
"I can't use full strength against others, but I can't use full strength against you?"
Sui Hua suddenly split into illusions, cutting off the Man Faced Demon Spider's retreat and continuously whipping it.
The Man Faced Demon Spider wanted to resist.
Jade Gold released corn silks to bind its legs, preventing it from moving.
It could only roar continuously.
"Red Flame, use Caramel Thrust!"
Under the brutal beating of Sui Hua and the other sprites, the Man Faced Demon Spider was already on its last breath.
Red Flame transformed into a molten stream and pierced through the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest.
Sending the Man Faced Demon Spider directly to its demise.
Red Flame's skill was not only an offensive skill but also reduced the target's attack speed by 30% and dealt an additional 50% damage when piercing through burning enemies.
A purple spirit ring emerged, and at the same time, Xiao Ze saw a flash of light from the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest.
"Spirit Bone!" Xiao Ze quickly disemboweled the Man Faced Demon Spider, and a Spirit Bone emerged.
Seeing the appearance of the Spirit Bone, Xiao Ze's mouth curved upwards.
It was indeed the Eight Spider Lances.
"Xiao Ze, your luck is really good. Another external Spirit Bone," God of Agriculture felt that Xiao Ze was the favored child of this planet.
He could meet him, and he had two external Spirit Bones.
"You all guard here. I will absorb the external Spirit Bone."
Sui Hua and the others nodded.
Xiao Ze immediately began to absorb the Eight Spider Lances.
"Hiss..."
As Xiao Ze absorbed, his clothes began to tear, and bulging lumps of flesh appeared on both sides of his spine.
Xiao Ze's body was much better than Tang San's back then, and he didn't feel particularly intense pain.
But it still made Xiao Ze very uncomfortable.
After a long time, the lumps of flesh ruptured, and purple Eight Spider Lances extended out.
The Eight Spider Lances slowly plunged into the ground, lifting Xiao Ze up.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ze retracted the Eight Spider Lances, looked at his torn clothes, and changed into new ones.
"Level twenty-nine."
After absorbing the Eight Spider Lances, Xiao Ze reached level twenty-nine.
And his Eight Spider Lances were somewhat different from Tang San's.
Now, the Eight Spider Lances, like the Holy Spirit Spine, possessed two skills.
The first skill, Body Augmentation, was a passive skill that could increase all of his attributes by 30%.
It was a simple and crude skill. Spirit Abilities that boosted all attributes were very rare, not to mention Spirit Bone skills.
The second skill, Devour, devoured the opponent's spirit power and replenished his own spirit power consumption by 100%, and could also absorb any power without an upper limit.
This was the most powerful skill of the Eight Spider Lances.
Xiao Ze looked at the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse and spirit ring, controlling the Eight Spider Lances to emerge from his back, pierce into the Man Faced Demon Spider and the spirit ring, and begin absorbing energy.
"This skill of yours is interesting. Try to control it and see if it can be sent into the Sea of Consciousness. It would be great for farming."
Xiao Ze heard this and began to experiment.
After all, the energy absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances would either replenish Xiao Ze's own energy or increase the age limit of the Eight Spider Lances; there was no other use for it.
The energy absorbed by the Eight Spider Lances flowed into Xiao Ze's limbs and bones.
Xiao Ze channeled the energy to his head.
"Leave the rest to me." God of Agriculture began to use his remaining strength, carefully mobilizing the energy into the Sea of Consciousness.
"It's done!" God of Agriculture began to sprinkle this energy like rainwater onto the farmlands.
The crops on the farmlands began to grow wildly, and God of Agriculture happily began to harvest them.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze also smiled. He hadn't expected the Eight Spider Lances to have such a use; it was really good.
"Oh..." God of Agriculture looked at the two fields of Blazing Chili.
One Blazing Chili reacted, swaying and flashing with a crimson light.
The next moment, the light burst forth.
A humanoid sprite appeared on the farmland.
Xiao Ze's soul also came to the edge of the farmland.
"The sixth Agricultural Sprite."
The sprite in front of him was a humanoid form made up of thousands of chili peppers.
Its skin had a molten lava-like cracked texture, with golden chili oil flowing through the cracks.
Its head had three pairs of spiral-shaped chili horns, with sparks continuously erupting from the tips.
Burning chili tendrils formed whip-like blades as its limbs, and spiky chili seeds grew at its joints.
It looked a bit strange, but upon getting close, one could feel a spicy sensation.
If it weren't for his soul body, Xiao Ze suspected that he would burst into tears from the spiciness just by getting close.
This Blazing Chili Sprite was also of excellent quality upon birth.
The Blazing Chili approached Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze reached out and rubbed its head.
"Little fellow, you're very fiery. From now on, you'll be called Scarlet Serpent."
Scarlet Serpent, unlike Red Flame, didn't have a bond skill upon birth.
Scarlet Serpent was a chili. What kind of Agricultural Sprite could have a bond skill with chili oil?
Xiao Ze hadn't thought of this either.
However, his six Agricultural Sprites were already full.
He would have to wait until he became a Spirit Elder to consider more.
"It's nighttime."
