A giant spider with a diameter exceeding one and a half meters hid in the shadows.
Its eight spear-like legs were over three meters long, covered in shiny, armor-like shell. Its abdomen released white silk, silently setting a death trap around Luo Yu.
Watching the seemingly oblivious human gazing into the distance, the giant spider's small eyes gleamed with greed and satisfaction, already considering this person as its next meal.
"Whoosh!"
The giant spider bent its eight legs and leaped, its sharp, icy claws piercing towards Luo Yu. Simultaneously, its abdomen instantly spewed out a Purple Web of potent venom, which then flipped over, trapping him.
The moment the sound echoed, Luo Yu seemed to have been prepared. A slight smile played on his lips. Behind him, a phantom of a great sun, carrying a star ring, quickly rose and instantly merged with his body, becoming one. The surging, scorching Golden Flame erupted from Luo Yu's body.
He turned, bent at the waist, bent his arm, and threw a punch.
A massive golden fire fist erupted, directly meeting the menacing giant spider as it lunged.
The Purple Web was instantly broken by the fire fist, turning into purple mist and evaporating completely.
The Man Faced Demon Spider hadn't expected Luo Yu to be prepared. Before it could react in mid-air, it was struck squarely in the abdomen by the golden fire fist and sent flying.
The Man Faced Demon Spider crashed through several thick tree trunks before finally landing on the ground.
Luo Yu pressed his advantage, rushing forward and standing before the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The giant spider not only had eight strange, long legs, but its lower abdomen was also covered in white markings, which contrasted sharply with its black body.
The white markings formed a terrifying human face. Half of its eight eerie little eyes were destroyed, and there were even cracks in the carapace of its lower abdomen.
"It really is a Man Faced Demon Spider. Judging by the existing wounds, this should be the one Dragon Duke was chasing," Luo Yu chuckled.
How could his ever-vigilant state of mind allow a powerful enemy to launch such an unbridled sneak attack? He was playing along, waiting for the right moment to strike.
As Luo Yu approached to examine it, the Man Faced Demon Spider, which had been lying limp on the ground, suddenly exploded into action. Its eight sharp spider legs simultaneously and ferociously stabbed towards Luo Yu, its small eyes filled with cunning and smugness.
"Hah!"
Facing the spider legs attacking from all directions, Luo Yu quickly retreated. Just as one of the legs was about to pierce his body,
he swiftly raised his arm to block, instantly deflecting the attack from the side of the leg.
However, the Purple Web spider legs were laced with a potent poison that even the Golden Flame on his body surface couldn't completely vaporize. As soon as they made contact, they began to rapidly corrode his sleeve.
Luo Yu grabbed the cuff and yanked it forcefully, revealing his strong forearm muscles. Anger flashed in his eyes. What a cunning creature.
He kicked towards the spider's abdomen with a fiery leg, but the agile Purple Web legs blocked him mid-air. The moment his shoe sole made contact, a sizzling sound echoed. Luo Yu turned and dodged, falling into a stalemate.
The Man Faced Demon Spider was clearly injured. It had also carelessly taken a hit from his Fire Fist. However, those eight legs, moving in concert, were a real problem. If only he had a decent weapon.
Thinking this, Luo Yu glanced at the sturdy trees around him, and his eyes lit up.
\n\n
In the following moments, Luo Yu dodged the Man Faced Demon Spider's continuous attacks, deliberately leading it towards other trees. Unknowingly, he cleared a spacious area within the forest.
At this point, the Man Faced Demon Spider, having failed in its attacks repeatedly, let out a shrill cry, and intense Purple Web erupted from its body.
Luo Yu seized the opportunity and located a large tree that had fallen, its thickness just right.
He smashed the crown of the tree with a Fire Fist. He then wrapped his arms around the trunk, gritting his teeth as he lifted the several-meter-long, cylindrical trunk. He then swung it towards the Man Faced Demon Spider with a sweeping motion.
The Man Faced Demon Spider bent its legs, pushing off the ground and instantly leaping into the air, but it was struck down mid-jump by Luo Yu's wide-ranging sweep.
Before it could struggle, the thick tree trunk, like a heavy hammer, slammed down onto the Man Faced Demon Spider's body.
Boom!
Purple blood splattered, and wood chips flew everywhere. Luo Yu's storm-like, thunderous barrage of attacks had brutally smashed the thick tree trunk he'd been hugging, finally felling the Man Faced Demon Spider, which had endured countless blows.
"Hah, hah!!"
Luo Yu tossed aside the tree trunk he'd been holding, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Within a radius of several dozen square meters, the delicate plants were crushed and withered. Fallen trees lay scattered, creating a scene of utter devastation. Only Luo Yu, standing amidst the chaos, and the barely alive poison spider remained.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, an uninvited guest emerged from the forest. It was a tall, thin old man, appearing to be in his seventies. He held a bright silver dragon-headed cane, the dragon's head at the top was remarkably lifelike.
Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings pulsed around him. Luo Yu instantly recognized the newcomer's identity.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Meng Yiran's grandfather.
The old man scanned the arena, his pupils shrinking as he noticed the defeated Man Faced Demon Spider and the young face panting heavily.
"Youngster, did you defeat this Man Faced Demon Spider?" Meng Shu asked in surprise.
"I did," Luo Yu replied calmly.
Meng Shu said, "Not bad, young man. To defeat the Man Faced Demon Spider that even I chased for half a day at such a young age is truly extraordinary. I wonder which family groomed such a proud disciple?"
"Skywater Academy," Luo Yu replied, understanding that the other party wanted to probe his background first, and then weigh whether to snatch the Man Faced Demon Spider.
"?????" Meng Shu widened his eyes in astonishment. "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Luo Yu shook his head. "Senior doesn't need to worry about the details."
Meng Shu was stunned for a moment.
Luo Yu pointed at the Man Faced Demon Spider and said, "Before this spider fought me, it was already injured. It seems you'd already made your move, Senior."
Meng Shu was surprised. He hadn't expected the young man before him to see that, but he didn't understand why the other party had brought it up.
"I previously encountered an old woman and a young girl who were hunting a Soul Beast. The old woman's Martial Soul was similar to yours, and the Soul Beast's age was extremely close. I imagine you're all doing this for the girl's sake."
"That's right." Meng Shu stroked his silver beard. "You met my granddaughter?"
Luo Yu said, "Your granddaughter must have already absorbed her third Soul Ring by now, so she wouldn't need this Man Faced Demon Spider anymore."
Meng Shu finally understood what the other party meant, but could there really be such a coincidence? He looked at Luo Yu with suspicion.
"If I were lying, could I possibly know all this?" Luo Yu shrugged.
"If that's the case, I, Meng Shu, am a reasonable person. I don't mind letting you have this Soul Beast."
Luo Yu walked towards the Man Faced Demon Spider. Suddenly, Meng Shu flashed forward and blocked his path. "However, words alone are not proof. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't just hand it over to you!"
Under this stalemate, Luo Yu's expression turned slightly angry.
At this moment, a flock of startled birds suddenly flew out from the distant forest, as if someone was rushing towards them.
