Chapter 9: Spider Beastkin

Li Qingjun probably wanted to go out to pee. When a large group of outsiders came, Li Qingjun couldn’t really pee at ease now. She could only hold it and sit back by the campfire. Qin Yi could only sit back listlessly, bearing Li Qingjun’s hooligan-like eyes.

He just wanted to know if the beastkin monsters would be alarmed when this group of wandering artists came.

The bonfire was flickering, and a group of wandering artists came in randomly, chatting and laughing.

Meeting passers-by when sheltering in taoist temples from the rain was quite common for wandering artists. They didn’t take Qin Yi and others seriously at all. Their eyes lingered on the long spear of the Li Family’s brother and sister for a while. They were not afraid of trouble. In fact, someone scoffed, “Such pretty boys are actually playing with spears.”

Qin Yi secretly thought it was dunzo, but Li Qingjun was just eating the dry food slowly while ignoring other people’s provocations.

Since she didn’t respond, the others naturally wouldn’t ask for troubles. They just scoffed without saying anything, then they talked about their own affairs.

Qin Yi looked at Li Qingjun in surprise. This chick doesn’t seem to have such a good temper on the surface...

.

Li Qingjun squinted at him and said, “Didn’t you say you will remove the spiderwebs? Why are you sitting still?”

Qin Yi said casually, “When there were only us, I can do a big cleaning for free. Why should I do that for this group of outsiders now?”

“Bah, us? Who are with you?” Li Qingjun spat, but she didn’t insist on sweeping the net. It seemed that she didn’t want to clean up for this group of bad-mouthed people.

The chatter and laughter of the wandering artists came.

“Have you heard? The Zhang Family outside Hengshan County is haunted by ghosts. Even the family master has been killed by ghosts.”

“What ghosts? Taoist Cang Song went to see it. He said there is no ghost. The person died of illness.”

“Since Taoist Cang Song said no, means there is no ghost indeed.” Others looked convinced, “That is a man of tao who can hold real fire in his mouth and put his hands into boiling oil.”

“In that case, it is the Zhang Family’s own retribution for not cultivating good fruits.”

The opinions of several people reached a consensus. They all laughed loudly, “Exactly, what’s so good about those rich families? Maybe there will be someone who steals from them and give to the poor.”

Li Qinglin sipped his wine with a slight smile. Qin Yi knew what he was smiling at; it was a sneer. In this kingdom, even the wandering artists believed in immortals and gods. That kind of deception of putting hands into boiling oil could also be popular. It was no wonder that he would be dissatisfied.

“En.”

Li Qingjun stopped talking.

The wandering artists did not dare to speak loudly anymore. Qin Yi reminded them not to speak too loudly, and he really ate a spider in the blink of an eye, which made them feel a bit wicked. They even forgot to look for trouble at that moment. The big man clutched his throat and walked toward the back door, trying to rinse his mouth with the rain.

After just passing around the taoist temple shrine, the bulky man’s eyes suddenly lit up, “There is a huge coral tree at the back door!”

Qin Yi and Li Qinglin glanced at each other. When they first came in, they looked around and didn’t see any coral trees. Qin Yi knew in his mind that this must be the beastkin monster’s trap. It was casting bait now.

There was no essential difference between catching people and catching insects. It was nothing more than baiting and attracting.

The group of wandering artists all swarmed toward the back door. Li Qingjun couldn’t help but say, “Don’t go out! It’s a trap!”

Why would anyone listen to her? In the middle of the courtyard by the back door, a treasure tree stood impressively, shining brightly in the night rain. It was extremely tempting. That bulky man was the first to rush out of the door. He touched the tree with 1 hand, “It really is coral. Such a big coral tree...”

Since he was fine after touching it, no one listened to Li Qingjun’s persuasion. They all swarmed up. Their eyes were full of greed.

Li Qingjun stood on the edge of the shrine and looked out the back door, watching the bulky man’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth emitting white silks with sizzling sounds. The scene was extremely strange, but the people around him didn’t seem to notice it.

The scene of white silks surging out of 7 orifices was so disgusting that Li Qingjun covered her mouth and nearly vomited.

In the next moment, the white silks multiplied. Countless white lights seemed to come out from every pore of the bulky man. In the blink of an eye, everyone around him was tightly wrapped up, turning into 8 human-shaped white cocoons. The bulky man himself exploded. A spider tore open his chest, came out of his heart, and gradually grew in size until it became a spider monster the size of a carriage.

The body was still that of a spider, but on the head was a human face with fangs and a ferocious appearance.

There wasn’t any coral tree. It was clearly just a crooked dead tree that was covered with spider webs. The colorful treasure lights on the coral were just the carrion of rats and cockroaches.

Li Qinglin drank wine without saying a word while Li Qingjun stood aside and watched the whole process, holding the long spear tightly. Her hand was trembling slightly. It could be seen that she also feared the image of the spider beastkin.

The tiger beastkin still looked like a tiger after all, but this big spider had a human face, giving people a completely different feeling. Very disgusting.

In addition, the corpse of the bulky man lying on the ground with empty internal organs was being swarmed by little spiders. The scene was even more bloody and strange.

Qin Yi also felt disgusted and horrified. Suddenly, for no reason, he thought that certain seniors, who had traveled through DND and tried to flirt Lolth, the spider queen, were real men...

Liu Su’s voice sounded from his sea of ??consciousness, “You have 2 choices. The first one is that this beastkin still has a tacit understanding with us. As long as we don’t disturb it, we will be safe and may even form a certain friendship. But I suggest you choose the second. Since the beastkin monster already has a human face and its spells are also very interesting, these are the characteristics of reaching the peak of the Spirit Initiation Stage. If it eats all of them, it may break through and condense the beastkin pellet. Then, we can kill it to snatch the pellet...”

Before the words finished, Li Qingjun took a deep breath. She went straight to the spider beastkin with the spear, “Beastkin monster, don’t hurt people’s lives!”

TL: Uhm, how do they defeat it now...
