Chapter 83: What's There to Worry About? I Already Killed the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider!
The Demon Tomb is an underground sealed area in this world.
The Demon Tomb is an extremely vast underground world, spanning the entire planet. It used to be part of the Land of Calamity, teeming with countless monsters, impossible to exterminate completely.
There were even numerous god-level monsters.
A hundred years ago, human awakeners made great sacrifices to protect humanity, sealing off the underground world where the Demon Tomb resides, closing the barrier between the Demon Tomb and the Land of Calamity.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Since it is sealed, there must be an entrance.
There are two sealed entrances to the Demon Tomb: one located at Tian Gui Pass in the Northern Yin Region and the other beneath the Imperial Capital of Kyushu.
Because the Demon Tomb was sealed, humans, who had suffered relentless slaughter and devastation by monsters, blew the horn of counterattack, driving the remaining monsters into retreat.
The Land of Calamity, which once almost covered the entire surface world, was compressed to less than one-fifth of the current surface world.
The sealed underground world was then called the Demon Tomb.
It signifies the burial place of monsters, marking an end to the days of human suffering and promising a future where surface monsters would also be buried.
A hundred years have passed, and except for a few, no one knows the history of the great sacrifices humanity made to create the Demon Tomb seal.
But recently, despite the Imperial Capital of Kyushu being the most tightly defended center in Kyushu, monsters have frequently appeared.
The presence of monsters has caused anxiety among the awakeners in the capital.
Some suspect that someone inside has made a dirty deal with the monsters from the Land of Calamity, leading to the appearance of possessed people in the capital.
Others speculate that the seal of the Demon Tomb has loosened, causing the monsters from within to crawl out.
The former speculation causes minor alarm, but the latter deeply unsettles those aware of the Demon Tomb's secrets.
Because the Demon Tomb seals god-level monsters!
For the past century, humans have focused on combating surface monsters from the Land of Calamity and never dared to enter the Demon Tomb to kill the god-level monsters inside due to fear.
Years ago, they only had the chance to gather all their collected divine artifacts and seal the underground god-level monsters because the monsters collectively entered the underground world seeking something.
However, even so, the Land of Calamity still harbors a sleeping god-level monster.
The god-level monster known as the Furious Thunder Demon King awakened ten years ago.
Facing a significant threat with no human having achieved god-level awakening, humanity was on the brink of becoming mere prey for the monsters until Jiang Han emerged a few years ago, the youngest top awakener in Kyushu, and fought a legendary battle.
It was Jiang Han who personally killed the only god-level monster, the Furious Thunder Demon King, saving humanity's awakeners from despair and suppressing the resurgence of the Land of Calamity.
This battle made her famous, known not only in Kyushu but worldwide.
Because she created history by killing a god-level monster, many believe she could become the first human awakener to achieve godhood.
Hearing Jiang Han's self-analysis, the arguing top awakeners immediately fell silent, not daring to interrupt her thoughts.
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Han deduced the monster's identity.
"It's the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, a god-level monster that exists only in the sealed underground world of the Demon Tomb!"
Some of the top awakeners present had read ancient texts about the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider.
When they heard Jiang Han identify the escaped god-level monster as the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, they couldn't help but gasp.
"According to records, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider is extremely skilled in disguise and hiding, excels in soul attacks, and enjoys hunting human souls. A hundred years ago, it was a vanguard in the god-level monsters' massacre of humans. How... how did such a troublesome monster escape!"
"This is a big problem. Everyone, please use all your resources to find this Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider. If it regains its god-level strength, countless innocent lives will become its soul food!"
"We can't just focus on the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider. Don't forget, the seal at the entrance of the Demon Tomb has loosened!"
Listening to their discussion, Jiang Han spoke up, "Don't worry too much. The seal at the entrance has loosened, but its power is still strong. We just need to infuse all our power into the sealing array, and we should be able to temporarily compensate for the lost sealing power."
With Jiang Han's words, the top awakeners exchanged looks and agreed with her approach. They decided to work together to infuse the sealing array with enough power for repair.
Under the combined effort of Jiang Han and the top awakeners, the loosened seal was temporarily repaired, sealing off the demonic energy leakage.
However, this left a tiny crack in the sealing array, only solving the immediate crisis.
Unable to think of a better solution for now, they had to proceed with this plan.
"Now we need to find the escaped Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider. If anyone has any information, contact me immediately!"
After communicating with the top awakeners and arranging for the Imperial Capital's personnel to guard the Demon Tomb around the clock, Jiang Han left the sealed entrance of the Demon Tomb.
She planned to return to Thunder Hall to report her findings to the Hall Master and other high-ranking members.
On her way back to Thunder Hall, thinking about the escaped god-level monster, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, Jiang Han couldn't help but worry about Lin Tianming.
She took out her phone and sent Lin Tianming a voice message.
"Brat, stay at the Imperial Capital's Grand Academy for the next three days! A god-level monster, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, has escaped from the Demon Tomb and is roaming the city. It can easily kill top awakeners, so don't wander around and get caught!"
Receiving Jiang Han's voice message early in the morning, just as he was about to go explore the Ice and Snow Secret Realm with Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming was stunned.
After a moment, he smiled slightly and replied to Jiang Han's message.
"Okay, I'll stay at the Imperial Capital's Grand Academy and wait for your return, Teacher Jiang Han!"
As if!
The Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider that Teacher Jiang Han was worried about had already been electrocuted by him, so he had no reason to worry about its threat.
Putting away his phone, Lin Tianming happily went to find his little girlfriend, Ye Qingxue.
Opportunity awaits in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm! Here comes Lin Tianming!
