"Since that's the case, Brother Zhao, you should leave first,"
"Lest your dean worry."
Meng Shu smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Then this junior will take his leave."
Zhao Wuji didn't linger and quickly left with his people. Staying here longer would only arouse Meng Shu's suspicion.
At this moment, Meng Yiran already had the Human-Faced Demon Spider. She couldn't wait for them to leave quickly; they were a potential threat here.
"Yiran, use your Serpent Cane to smash its head; its soul rings will be yours,"
"But be careful. The Human-Faced Demon Spider's body contains a potent poison; don't let it touch you."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Meng Yiran agreed, and the Serpent Cane plunged into the Human-Faced Demon Spider where Meng Shu had smashed it. The creature's multiple small eyes widened in shock.
"Go!"
Meng Shu grabbed Meng Yiran and quickly retreated.
Purple and blue fluids churned within the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Although its powerful body lacked legs, it still writhed and thrashed wildly on the ground.
The delicate plants were instantly corroded.
Within a radius of dozens of square meters, everything was a mess, and not a single plant remained intact.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider's struggles became weaker and weaker.
Its shell was covered in a layer of blue and purple light, and dark purple liquid constantly flowed from its wounds. It was clearly not going to survive.
As the Human-Faced Demon Spider's life faded, specks of blue and purple light began to gather above its body, eventually forming a dazzling purple soul ring.
It was time to absorb the soul ring.
After a thousand-year soul beast died, its soul ring could remain for an hour. As long as one absorbed it within that hour, they could obtain it.
"Yiran, prepare to absorb the soul ring,"
"You need to be prepared."
"Although the Human-Faced Demon Spider is greatly beneficial to you, the difficulty of absorbing its soul ring is much higher than that of the Phoenix-Tailed Chicken Serpent."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Meng Yiran nodded and sat cross-legged.
Under the pull of the gray-white soul power, the purple soul ring quickly attached to the Serpent Cane.
The purplish-black light, as if waiting for a long time, finally found an outlet.
The moment it sensed Meng Yiran's martial soul, it rushed towards her like a torrent, as if encompassing everything.
Seeing the dense purplish-black light instantly engulf Meng Yiran's body, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Such a strong soul power fluctuation.
Just how many years of cultivation does this Human-Faced Demon Spider have?
Meng Yiran, as the one experiencing it, felt it even more clearly. She only felt a massive current of heat suddenly surge into her body.
Before she could react, the heat had already begun to scorch her body like a blazing flame.
Under the powerful fluctuations of soul power,
Meng Yiran felt as if her body was about to explode. The intense pain caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Yiran!"
Chao Tianxiang was shocked.
"Old woman!"
Meng Shu hurriedly stopped her,
"This Human-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring is too overbearing; it's not easy to absorb."
"She can only rely on herself now. No external force can be used to absorb a soul ring."
"Otherwise, it will only backfire. We can only hope that Meng Yiran can hold on and make it hers."
Chao Tianxiang paused, her face etched with worry.
But then, Meng Yiran spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Yiran!"
Meng Shu also shouted anxiously.
Bang!
Meng Yiran's body finally couldn't take it anymore, and with a loud bang, it suddenly exploded. Red blood splattered all over the two of them.
Instantly,
Both of them were stunned.
"Yiran!"
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang shouted at the same time. They had never thought that Meng Yiran would die while absorbing a soul ring.
The two's tragic cries echoed through the Star Dou Great Forest.
The people from Shrek Academy, who were on their way out, heard some of the sounds.
"Something's wrong, hurry!"
Zhao Wuji didn't say anything else and led everyone to speed up their departure. Although he didn't know what had happened, it definitely wouldn't be good news for the Cover the World Dragon Snake.
"Yiran!"
Tears streamed down Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu's faces.
"Yiran!"
Suddenly,
Meng Shu, who had been crying, abruptly looked in a certain direction.
"Someone's there!"
Chao Tianxiang was stunned. "Someone?"
"I don't see anyone." She continued to sob.
"There's no one there, old man, don't try to distract me with this."
Although Meng Shu hadn't seen anything either, he could clearly feel it.
It could be called intuition.
He swung the Dragon Cane in his hand forward with a mighty force.
Bang!
A massive explosion instantly erupted from the Dragon Cane.
Chao Tianxiang's body trembled. That explosion... it was too familiar! Exactly the same as the one that had blasted her before.
Meng Shu shouted fiercely, "Who's there, come out!!"
"Why resort to such despicable and low-class methods!"
Two figures slowly walked out from a distance.
They were holding newspapers and had knives at their waists.
Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombies.
"What are you things!"
Meng Shu was stunned when he saw the two Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombies. He had never seen anything like them before.
The two Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombies kept moving forward.
Finally, Meng Shu couldn't hold back any longer.
He swung the Dragon Cane in his hand.
Two newspapers instantly shattered.
The two Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombies simultaneously drew the knives from their waists.
They wore eerie smiles.
The two of them cooperated perfectly, attacking Meng Shu from both sides at the same time.
However, Meng Shu wasn't too worried. He could see that the strength of these two things was only that of Soul Emperors. Two Soul Emperors were just asking to die.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two loud explosions suddenly sounded from both sides, and Chao Tianxiang was blasted twice more.
A mouthful of blood spewed out, and she collapsed to the ground, unresponsive.
"Old woman!"
Meng Shu roared, and his two long knives slashed towards him. He hastily raised his Dragon Cane to block.
Enraged, his eighth soul ring flashed. A golden dragon shadow flew out from the head of the Dragon Cane and heavily struck the two Knife-Wielding Newspaper Zombies.
The two instantly turned into soul power and dissipated.
He quickly came to Chao Tianxiang's side; she could still be saved.
He had just lost his granddaughter; he couldn't lose his wife as well.
And just as he looked at Meng Yiran, her broken body disappeared.
Along with that, the Human-Faced Demon Spider that had been killed was also gone. Even the spider legs that he had broken with the Dragon Cane were missing.
He then realized that the other party was after Meng Yiran and that Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Meng Shu shouted towards the sky, "Come out if you have the guts!"
"Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll tear you to shreds!"
But there was no one around him at this moment.
All the zombies left quickly after succeeding.
Ye Fan also revealed a smile.
The protagonist wasn't a good person. He pursued cultivation, not being a good person. He wouldn't be able to use the system to help him modify or remind him about things.
Regarding Meng Yiran's death, the main reason was that he had absorbed something without knowing its age.
Instead of saying that the protagonist, a passerby, died because he knew the age of the spirit beast and didn't say it. He has to rely on himself, not on a passerby.
If Meng Shu had let Zhao Wuji and the others leave directly, and they had hunted the Human-Faced Demon Spider on their own, Meng Yiran would still have met the same fate.
