"Stay close to me!"
In front of the coffin shop, Lin Yuan turned his head and said to Wen Yingying.
The human-faced demon spider is a Tier Eight evil spirit, and among Tier Eight evil spirits, it ranks high in power.
Wen Yingying, as a rookie who has just awakened her tattoo ability, faces Tier Eight evil spirits, especially those that live in groups, which is quite dangerous.
However, as long as she stays close to Lin Yuan, with his protection, there shouldn't be much of an issue.
Upon entering the coffin shop, Lin Yuan immediately saw that the entire place was filled with spider webs.
These webs are not ordinary; the silk is extremely tough and laced with poison.
Ordinary Life Pattern Masters who accidentally got entangled in these would meet their demise swiftly.
Looking at the room filled with webs, Lin Yuan instructed Wen Yingying, "Bring out the fan."
To enter the coffin shop, they first needed to clear out the dense spider webs.
And for that task, Wen Yingying's Bajiao Fan was perfect.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's instruction, Wen Yingying communicated with her tattoo using her mind, and suddenly a vivid green Bajiao Fan appeared in her hand.
As Wen Yingying gently waved the fan, several small tornadoes appeared out of nowhere inside the shop.
Under her control, these little whirlwinds began clearing the spider webs in the coffin shop.
The webs were rolled up together as if they were tangled balls of yarn.
With the webs cleared, the shop appeared much more pleasant.
At the center of the shop, there was a small mechanical house about two meters squared.
The shop owner, a carpenter named Geng Youcai, was trapped inside.
The mechanical house prolonged Geng Youcai's survival for days, yet trapped within, he had long exhausted his supplies.
"Click!"
Lin Yuan pressed a switch on the wall, turning on the lights.
The glaring light penetrated through the small crevices into the mechanical house.
Accustomed to the darkness, Geng Youcai found the brightness uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Geng Youcai recalled a reply to his post from earlier today.
"Hold on until tonight; I'm coming to save you."
The last call for help he posted was nothing more than a desperate act, already out of options.
Honestly, he didn't believe Lin Yuan's reply that he would come, assuming it to be a jest from a netizen.
Since the onset of the strange invasion, the world has been a chaotic mess.
Most people can't even guarantee their own survival, let alone save a stranger.
Geng Youcai never expected someone would actually come.
At that moment, filled with despair, he suddenly felt a strong desire to survive.
"Help!"
"Save me! I'm here!"
"Help!"
Inside the mechanical house, Geng Youcai used all his strength to call out for help.
Really, there wasn't any need to shout so loudly.
Because as soon as the light turned on, Lin Yuan noticed the distinctive mechanical house at the center of the shop.
He also saw the human-faced demon spiders surrounding the house.
To these spiders, Geng Youcai inside the mechanical house was like a canned meal.
They wanted to eat but couldn't open it.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan and Wen Yingying arrive, the spiders shifted their target.
The spiders thought, what luck, couldn't open the can, but delivery has arrived.
"Try handling one; leave the rest to me!" Lin Yuan turned and said to Wen Yingying.
Wen Yingying nodded firmly like a pecking chick, saying, "Don't worry, I can definitely do it."
Lin Yuan summoned the Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo along with the Deceitful Gate Tattoo; his fighting style remained straightforward and unpretentious.
The Ox Head Tattoo transformed into armor, and the Horse Face Tattoo became a mount, with a massive phantom of the Deceitful Gate appearing behind him.
At this moment, only four words could describe Lin Yuan.
That is...
Overwhelmingly powerful.
His whole being emitted a fierce and sharp aura, like a divine weapon, exuding palpable killing intent.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan moved.
He proactively charged toward the dozen or so human-faced demon spiders.
The spiders hung by silk, rushing toward Lin Yuan and Wen Yingying.
Clearly, these spiders had reached a consensus.
First, eat the delivery, then the canned meal.
Lin Yuan blocked almost all of the spiders, letting the smallest one through for Wen Yingying to handle.
Wen Yingying's Princess Iron Fan Tattoo was incredibly powerful, ranking high among Life Pattern Masters.
Though she had only awakened part of it, she could wield just one Bajiao Fan.
Yet even with just the Bajiao Fan, it was more than enough to deal with one spider.
Considering Wen Yingying lacked combat experience, Lin Yuan deliberately selected the weakest spider, giving her a chance to practice.
Wen Yingying was only handling the weakest spider, while Lin Yuan single-handedly fought the dozen others.
The difference in combat prowess was evident.
The Five-Pronged Heaven-Supporting Fork in Lin Yuan's hand swung out at a speed akin to a shooting star.
"Boom!"
After the explosive sound, a spider was directly blasted by Lin Yuan.
The venom splattered on the ground, making sizzling corrosive sounds.
Quick as lightning, Lin Yuan swung the fork repeatedly; in a flash, two more spiders met their end without even struggling.
Using the fork to deal with these Tier Eight evil spirit spiders felt as easy as threading candied hawthorns.
His strength could only be described with four words.
That is...
Terror incarnate.
In his current empowered state, deploying both Ox Head and Horse Face Tattoo, along with the Deceitful Gate Tattoo, at least Tier Seven evil spirits stood a chance of fighting him.
But that was merely to match his strength.
The Corpse King encountered at Lanxiang Excavator Academy, a Tier Seven entity, likewise succumbed to Lin Yuan.
In about two or three minutes, Lin Yuan dealt with all the spiders.
At this moment, Wen Yingying was still battling the sole remaining spider.
Yet, Lin Yuan didn't interfere, choosing to quietly watch.
Wen Yingying wielded the Bajiao Fan, every wave summoned small tornadoes.
The dozen small tornadoes had sealed the spider's movement from all sides.
Wen Yingying controlled them, sending them crisscrossing over the spider.
In an instant, the last spider was shredded by the tornadoes into minced meat.
With all the spiders dealt with, they dissolved into pure deceitful qi.
Now, the entire coffin shop was filled with dense deceitful qi.
