C96 Crisis

No enemy could be underestimated, even if the other party was just a Heavenly Beast. This was a lesson that Lin Mufeng had learnt after being ambushed by the Man-Faced Spider.

When the Man-Faced Spider first laid its eyes on Lin Mufeng, it had thought that Lin Mufeng's speed was its greatest threat. If Lin Mufeng could smoothly retreat even if he lost, it wouldn't be able to keep him alive, so it had prepared this trap.

He first ran in panic, giving Lin Mufeng the illusion that he was a coward who was afraid of him and would not dare to fight him. This could be seen from how they fled in panic along the way, preferring to escape into the territory of a high ranking Heavenly Beast. Even when they fought him in the end, they were forced to stop because of him.

Furthermore, every time the Man-Faced Spider spat out its spider silk attack, a portion of the spider silk would scatter and fall onto the ground. Slowly, it formed a small spider web on the ground. On the other hand, Lin Mufeng did not notice the spider webs that had fallen to the ground. This way, Lin Mufeng would already be trapped inside the web and would not know it.

Thirdly, the Man-Faced Spider had shown weakness once again. Lin Mufeng injured the Man-Faced Spider with one attack and gave Lin Mufeng the illusion that the Man-Faced Spider was not his opponent. Even though Lin Mufeng and Xie Wuji knew that the Man-Faced Spider was cunning, looking at its appearance, there was definitely a problem, but they never thought that the Man-Faced Spider would actually lay a trap for them using their injuries.

In the end, he would just stay on the defensive and not attack as he slowly consumed his energy. Lin Mufeng possessed Middle Yellow Rank, while the Man-Faced Spider possessed a cultivation at the middle stage of the Green Scale. The difference between the two was a great realm, so of course Lin Mufeng would be at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation levels. When Lin Mufeng had almost used up most of his Heavenly Energy, the Man-Faced Spider pretended that it could not hold on and lured Lin Mufeng closer and paralyzed his legs.

These few traps were linked one by one, which allowed Lin Mufeng to unknowingly fall into them. It was really hard for Man-Faced Spider to think of such a method, for a Heavenly Beast to have such a high intelligence.

Lin Mufeng wanted to kill the Man-Faced Spider and obtain its soul to level up, but how could the Man-Faced Spider not want to kill Lin Mufeng and absorb his power? The evil heavenly spirit were all useful to each other, it all depended on who could kill who.

With his speed greatly reduced, Lin Mufeng's strength had been reduced by at least half, so the Man-Faced Spider would obviously not let go of this opportunity. The Man-Faced Spider's body suddenly lit up with a bright green color, it spread open its eight furry legs and pounced towards Lin Mufeng.

After all, Man-Faced Spider still had the strength of a Green Scale, even if Lin Mufeng used his blood pellet to replenish it, he was still not able to exhaust all of the Man-Faced Spider's Heavenly Energy. Right now, the remaining Heavenly Energy from both were at a similar stage.

"You're courting death." Lin Mufeng bellowed, his fingernails extended out, transforming into ten blood colored sharp blades that slashed down in the air.

Ding! The claw landed on the Man-Faced Spider's back, leaving behind only a few faint wounds. As for the eight legs of the Man-Faced Spider, it waved them at the same time, and countless of attacks buried Lin Mufeng.

Man-Faced Spider had eight legs, other than the six that were usually used for walking and climbing, the first two were actually used to assist in attacks just like the human hands.

These two pincers were extremely powerful, their power and speed was no weaker than Lin Mufeng's. When Lin Mufeng uses blood sucking heavenly soul s, his main attacking method is with his ten fingers on his hands. As for the Man-Faced Spider, it also relied on its two front legs to attack.

The claws and the forelimbs clashed, producing a clanging sound, like the clashing of metals. The back of Lin Mufeng's hand shook so hard that it became numb, but Man-Faced Spider was not so well off either. After colliding with Lin Mufeng a few times, he felt that he could not defeat Lin Mufeng on this level.

Other than using its claws to attack, the Man-Faced Spider would occasionally spit out spider silk as a threat. Especially with such close range attacks, there were several of them. If Lin Mufeng wasn't dodging very quickly, he would have been pierced through the forehead and turned into a corpse.

However, Lin Mufeng's blood sucking heavenly soul was not easy to bully. The strong corrosive force landed on the Man-Faced Spider's back, corroding it into miserable cries, causing its body to emit thick white smoke.

The black qi lingered in the air and Lin Mufeng and the Man-Faced Spider were trembling together. After a few rounds, the Man-Faced Spider suddenly screamed and pulled away from Lin Mufeng.

Although the Man-Faced Spider's strength was higher than Lin Mufeng's, the blood sucking heavenly soul was incomparably bizarre and was actually absorbing the Man-Faced Spider's blood bit by bit. In that moment, she had actually absorbed a fifth of the Man-Faced Spider's blood, and almost lost all of it.

The Man-Faced Spider's face was filled with fear. Lin Mufeng could tell that this was a fear that came from the bottom of his heart, and not a disguise. And every time a Heavenly Beast saw a blood sucking heavenly soul, they would have such an emotion. Lin Mufeng had long since sensed it, but he didn't know the reason.

Hiss!

The Man-Faced Spider did not rush to attack. Instead, it started to circle around Lin Mufeng.

With the spider poison, as long as the poison spread, even without the Man-Faced Spider's attack, Lin Mufeng would still die.

The Man-Faced Spider were very sure about this, but how could they have known that the blood sucking heavenly soul was so mysterious? It could actually refine and suppress the poison in one place, making its body's impact not as great as the Man-Faced Spider had imagined.

Although his feet were still numb, it did not hinder Lin Mufeng's movements. Seeing that the Man-Faced Spider was preparing to waste time, Lin Mufeng was also happy to waste more time with it. The longer time passed, the stronger the suppression the Spider Poison in Lin Mufeng's body would be, and the less it would affect him.

Inside the alabaster knife, Xie Wuji slowly calmed down, but in his heart, he was even more curious about the mysteriousness of the blood sucking heavenly soul. Just what kind of heavenly soul could have such a magical power? Not only could it absorb blood and refine it into Heavenly Energy, it could also suppress and refine the poison.

Thinking about the various peculiarities of the blood sucking heavenly soul, Xie Wuji faintly had a premonition. As long as Lin Mufeng grew up, he would definitely occupy a position at the peak of the continent in the future.

Lin Mufeng calmly replied, but the Man-Faced Spider became more and more uneasy. The human was so calm that it frightened him.

The several consecutive attempts at attacking were all blocked by Lin Mufeng. The spider web on the ground had already been cut open by Lin Mufeng. As long as the poison was completely suppressed, Lin Mufeng could recover to his original level.

Swoosh. Lin Mufeng dodged habitually and was about to counterattack, but at this moment, he heard Xie Wuji's surprised shout, "Be careful!"

Xie Wuji shouted late. When the bundle of spider silk flew to Lin Mufeng's side, it suddenly spread out, turning into a spider web, covering Lin Mufeng's head and wrapping him inside.

Lin Mufeng suddenly raised his strength, wanting to break the web. However, the spider web was extremely tenacious, and the Man-Faced Spider actually spat out two more spider webs, forming two more spider webs in a row and entangling Lin Mufeng tightly.

This was the Man-Faced Spider's ultimate move. In order to wait for this opportunity, the Man-Faced Spider had to endure for a long time. Just like before, every time he would only use the spider silk to attack, giving Lin Mufeng an illusion that the spider silk could only penetrate his body and attack him.

Xie Wuji was anxious, but now that Lin Mufeng had summoned his blood sucking heavenly soul, if he could summon his alabaster knife out again, the appearance of the two heavenly souls would have a huge impact on Lin Mufeng. Even after killing the Man-Faced Spider, Lin Mufeng's situation became even more dangerous.

Spitting out three spider webs consecutively, the Man-Faced Spider also consumed a lot of energy. It was obvious that this kind of attack was like a soul skill, it could not be used often. Seeing Lin Mufeng being tightly entangled by the spider web, he laid on the ground, ready to recover his strength.

"Ahhh …" Lin Mufeng roared, his eyes red. This was the first time he had encountered such a crisis. The last time he was heavily injured by Yun Yanyun's hair, it was because his strength was insufficient and it was understandable. However, he was ambushed by two Man-Faced Spider s in succession, falling into such a state.

"Open it for me." Lin Mufeng roared, streaks of blood colored energy circulated around his body, his hands constantly swiping at the spider silk, wanting to cut it apart. However, his hands were tightly entangled by the spider silk, making it impossible for his fingernails to move.

Seeing Lin Mufeng's struggle, the people of the Man-Faced Spider all revealed satisfied smiles. After much effort, he finally managed to capture the human. This way, he could properly make up for the loss. As long as they absorbed the energy of the evil heavenly spirit in Lin Mufeng's body, they could be promoted to the next level, and even to the level of Blue Scale.

The moment he thought about Blue Scale, the smile on the Man-Faced Spider's face became even more wonderful. Regardless of whether it was in the human world or the forest of Heavenly Beast, strength was the foundation of everything. And cyan scale, the name Heavenly Soul King, was the beginning to becoming an expert.

Standing up, the Man-Faced Spider crawled towards Lin Mufeng as it tried to think of a way to use its mouth. Lin Mufeng was entangled by the spider silk and fell onto the ground. Man-Faced Spider looked down from above and looked at Lin Mufeng's face.

Seeing the faint mocking expression on the Man-Faced Spider's face, a humiliation that was difficult to dispel suddenly surged in Lin Mufeng's heart. This sort of humiliation went straight to the bone marrow. Only by using the blood of the other party would they be able to cleanse it.

The spider web tightened and slowly sunk into his flesh. Receiving such an attack, Lin Mufeng was unable to maintain his state of summoning the heavenly soul. The blood sucking heavenly soul helplessly turned into a ray of black light and shot into Lin Mufeng's body.

Losing the blood sucking heavenly soul's support, Lin Mufeng's strength dropped by a level. The place where the spider silk was tied to, had already been strangled with wounds, and blood slowly seeped out. In a few moments, Lin Mufeng had turned into a bloody person.

"Hold on." Xie Wuji secretly encouraged Lin Mufeng. If he had asked to help Lin Mufeng just now, but saw Lin Mufeng's current situation, he already knew that if Lin Mufeng was not able to personally resolve the crisis and kill the Man-Faced Spider, he would rather choose to die.

"Hur hur." Looking into the Man-Faced Spider's eyes, Lin Mufeng suddenly let out a terrifying sneer. The Man-Faced Spider was looking down at Lin Mufeng from above, and was alarmed by the sneer. It immediately retreated more than ten meters, and looked at Lin Mufeng in shock and bewilderment.

Gritting his teeth tightly, Lin Mufeng slowly pulled his arms apart. Following the tightening of the binding force, blood even started to spew out, but Lin Mufeng did not care, he just slowly opened the spider silk bit by bit.

The spider web cut deeply into his flesh, as if it was millions of daggers cutting through Lin Mufeng's skin at the same time. Pieces of meat had already fallen out. Xie Wuji saw it too badly and immediately retracted his consciousness, not daring to look.

"Even if I were to cut him into a thousand pieces, he wouldn't amount to much." As Lin Mufeng thought of this, his heart, however, became completely calm.

The poison on the spider silk seeped into his body, causing Lin Mufeng to fall into a trance, as if he was about to faint. However, it was a good thing that he could use the power of the blood sucking heavenly soul s in his body to quickly suppress and refine them, allowing him to barely be able to keep Lin Mufeng from being poisoned to death by the poison.

The Man-Faced Spider was dumbstruck, this was the first time it had seen a spider web bound itself, and it actually forced the spider web apart with its own strength. The spider silk was very tenacious and would not be torn apart like this. However, how much pain would it have to pay to do this?

The Man-Faced Spider suddenly regretted. It should kill this human as soon as possible. The sense of danger this human gave him was actually even greater than that of a few cyan scale Heavenly Beast.
