At this moment, Shi Yu felt an abnormal Space fluctuation. To be precise, an abnormality appeared in the Space of one direction.
He completely instinctively pushed hard in this direction, Space energy obstructing the incoming metal arrows.
Shi Yu received a certain force, his body moving uncontrollably until he hit a tree.
The incoming metal arrows then hovered in front of him, completely blocked by the Space power he used.
"Why did you ambush me?" Shi Yu said angrily, looking in that direction.
A boy of twelve or thirteen walked out from there, holding a metal object in his right hand.
"This Man-Faced Demon Spider is quite suitable to be my Soul Ring. I hope my friend can let me have it," Tang San tried to discuss with Shi Yu.
"You want this Man-Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring and this is how you discuss it with me?" Shi Yu's expression was unfriendly. The other party clearly wanted his life just now.
It was only because his reaction was fast enough and his strength was strong enough that he was able to escape this calamity.
If his reaction had been a little slower, he might have been shot dead by the metal arrows the other party fired.
Wait... metal arrows?
Shi Yu suddenly realized something and carefully sized up the boy over there, especially the metal object in his hand. This looked a bit like a crossbow.
"What is your name?" Shi Yu asked, having a bold guess.
Tang San frowned, not knowing why the other party suddenly asked this, but still said, "Tang San."
It really is Tang San... Shi Yu's heart trembled. He sized up his surroundings once more, focusing on the Man-Faced Demon Spider lying on the ground over there.
Forest... Tang San... Man-Faced Demon Spider. Is this the scene from ten thousand years ago, when Tang San encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest?
"Have I come to ten thousand years ago?" Shi Yu's mind buzzed for a moment, finding it unbelievable.
Tang San saw that the other party suddenly became abnormal, dazed there. A look of confusion flashed in his eyes. Is there anything strange about my name?
He did not attack further. Since the ambush just now failed, it would be relatively difficult to succeed with another ambush.
He could only try to discuss it with the other party. If discussion didn't work, he would think of another way. He was quite fond of this Man-Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring.
Shi Yu thought a lot, but couldn't come to any conclusion. He didn't know why he had come to ten thousand years ago.
He also didn't know if he could go back, or if he would transmigrate again.
His mood was very chaotic. He felt like cursing loudly. What on earth was going on?
His gaze gradually fell on Tang San opposite him. At this moment, Tang San happened to fire the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, but it was not aimed at Shi Yu, but at the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow shot out, ending the Man-Faced Demon Spider's life. Soon, a purple Soul Ring floated out. This was the mark of a thousand-year Soul Ring.
"What are you doing?" Shi Yu frowned, displeased with the other party's action.
"I really need this Soul Ring. I still hope my friend can help me achieve this," Tang San said politely.
"You killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider without authorization. Is this the attitude for discussion?" Shi Yu was a bit angry.
This Man-Faced Demon Spider was killed by him with great difficulty, but it was killed by the other party who took advantage. How could he not be angry?
"I was a bit too hasty. I apologize to you," Tang San said.
"I don't accept," Shi Yu said coldly. Although he knew the other party was the protagonist Tang San, he still couldn't easily forgive him.
"I have already killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and it's a done deal. Why not just help me achieve this? I, Tang San, will definitely remember this favor."
"In the future, if you need anything, you can come to Shrek Academy to find me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely repay this favor," Tang San discussed.
A favor from Tang San?
Shi Yu felt this didn't seem too bad, he just didn't know if Tang San's promise would be effective.
He recalled whether the original work mentioned Tang San keeping his promises... It seemed not.
"Tang San's credibility must be questioned," Shi Yu reminded himself.
This Tang San definitely has ability, otherwise he wouldn't have risen, nor would he have done so well later.
But when it comes to character, it's a matter of opinion. You can't say he's a person of very good character.
Just comparing Tang San's performance in the Clear Sky School before he grew up with his performance after his wings were full, it's hard to like him.
The strength of your power determines his attitude towards you. When interacting with Tang San, power can be said to be the most important thing.
Either you become his follower, in which case he might still be a decent person.
"Still a bit upset." Shi Yu was also a person with a temper. The Man-Faced Demon Spider was considered his prey. The other party killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider without his consent. This was too presumptuous.
"The Soul Ring can be given to you, but the other things from the Man-Faced Demon Spider belong to me," Shi Yu said after thinking for a moment.
If this is the Man-Faced Demon Spider that Tang San absorbed as a Soul Ring, then there is an External Soul Bone present.
An External Soul Bone is a good thing. He still didn't really want to let Tang San get it cheaply like this. After all, this was the Man-Faced Demon Spider he defeated, so it was reasonable for him to take the most valuable thing.
"Okay," Tang San immediately agreed. Being able to obtain the Soul Ring was already a very good outcome for him.
As for the other things from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, what else could there be?
Selling the Man-Faced Demon Spider's corpse wouldn't fetch much money either. The body value of this type of poisonous Soul Beast is relatively low.
The use of poison in this world is very scarce. There is no way to utilize the poisonous flesh and blood of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, so its value is lacking.
If the body isn't valuable, then there's nothing valuable left. It's not possible to expect a Man-Faced Demon Spider of around two thousand years to drop a Soul Bone, right?
Tang San felt it was impossible. Having studied Soul Beast knowledge with the Grandmaster for many years, he knew that it was very difficult for a thousand-year Soul Beast to drop a Soul Bone. The probability was less than one in a thousand.
Shi Yu nodded and walked towards the already dead Man-Faced Demon Spider, while remaining highly vigilant of Tang San.
After knowing it was Tang San, he became extremely vigilant. This person had hidden weapons, so he had to be extra careful.
Furthermore, this person was not an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old boy. He was ruthless, killing without batting an eye. The other party might appear pleasant to him on the surface now, but was actually thinking about how to kill him.
To be honest, he was not very willing to interact with Tang San. He felt it would be very tiring.
Of course, he also didn't really want to make an enemy of this person. This person was extremely ruthless towards enemies. Being his enemy would truly be a headache.
At this moment, he only wanted to take the External Soul Bone and leave quickly, not wanting to stay with Tang San for even a second longer.
Tang San's gaze moved with Shi Yu's movement, curious about what the other party wanted to get from the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
He secretly replaced the crossbow bolts in the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. One must be on guard against others.
Shi Yu came close to the Man-Faced Demon Spider. For a moment, he didn't know where to start. The entire Man-Faced Demon Spider looked poisonous, and he was not very willing to touch it.
Energy guidance... Shi Yu had a sudden idea and tried to guide the Soul Ring energy of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
"You cannot absorb this Soul Ring," Tang San quickly reminded him, his voice a bit cold.
"I don't want the Soul Ring," Shi Yu responded coldly, not giving the other party a good look either.
Just as Tang San was about to speak, he saw that the Soul Ring was still there, but something seemed to be pulled out from the Soul Ring by the other party.
Feasible... It was indeed feasible for Shi Yu to try guiding the energy out. The purple energy was guided out, forming eight bone-like structures resembling spider legs.
This should be the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone. It's just that in the original work, when Tang San absorbed it, he absorbed it directly with the Soul Ring and did not obtain the Soul Bone separately.
Tang San frowned as he watched, feeling that this should be some kind of treasure. After looking closely, his heart trembled. Soul Bone!
"This Man-Faced Demon Spider actually dropped a Soul Bone?" Tang San found it incredible. Such a low-probability event actually happened?
Tang San tightened his grip on the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, wanting to make a move. This Soul Bone was a good thing, and he didn't want the other party to get it cheaply.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Since I can defeat the Man-Faced Demon Spider, I can definitely defeat you. I advise you to be honest and not bring trouble upon yourself," Shi Yu felt the chill and immediately warned in a deep voice.
His gaze was cold as he stared at Tang San. Once the other party made a move, he would immediately respond.
Regardless of whether the other party was the protagonist, this External Soul Bone now belonged to him and could not be given to the other party.
