Douluo Dragon King: My strategy system is not right

Chapter 31 The Man-Faced Demon Spider
Sure enough, not long after, rustling sounds were heard all around, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at them from the darkness.

Lin Ci's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly stood up, putting the roasted meat aside casually.

This time, there was no need for Lin Ci to remind him. Zhang Yangzi, who had been observing from the sky with his soul, discovered the problem.

"Wind Blade Wolves, due west, there aren't many of them!"

As Zhang Yangzi finished speaking, a group of dark shadows emerged from all directions. They were a group of Wind Blade Wolves. These Wind Blade Wolves were nimble and extremely fast. A faint wind element surrounded their bodies, and every time they ran, they left a series of shallow traces on the ground.

It was only after this group of Wind Blade Wolves came into the sight of several people that they realized something was wrong.

Most of the Wind Blade Wolves are ten-year-old soul beasts, which are social soul beasts. If you encounter a large group of Wind Blade Wolves in the Spirit Ascension Platform, it will be a headache.

But now, these Wind Blade Wolves were few in number and extremely distressed, with many of them bearing wounds of varying sizes. It looked as if they were fleeing rather than attacking.

The students in Class Zero had been training on the Spirit Ascension Platform for a semester, and compared to before, they already had a wealth of experience. They were naturally aware of this situation, but they didn't know what soul beast was chasing them.

"Let's quickly get rid of these Wind Blade Wolves first." Tang Wulin was the first to take action. He had just seen Lin Ci kill the Red Flame Tiger and he felt itchy to do it.

Now the two thousand-forged silver hammers in his hands were already thirsty for power.

Tang Wulin slammed his feet into the ground and charged towards the Wind Blade Wolves like a cannonball. The Thousand Forged Silver Hammer in his hand gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, and as he swung it, it sent gusts of whistling wind whistling through the air.

All the ten-year-old Wind Blade Wolves were beaten to death by him.

Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi also quickly joined the battle and began to concentrate on quickly dealing with the group of Wind Blade Wolves.

Lin Ci didn't move, but just looked indifferently at the direction where the Wind Blade Wolf had just escaped, as if he was waiting for something.

The same goes for Zhang Yangzi and Gu Yue. In this situation, they have to ensure that Tang Wulin and the other two will not be ambushed by other soul beasts.

It didn't take long before Wang Jinxi, who was in the battle, suddenly felt dazed. For some reason, an inexplicable sense of fear lingered in his heart.

The next moment, what came towards him was a huge net!
Wang Jinxi's pupils suddenly shrank as he watched the huge net coming towards him. He wanted to dodge but found that his body seemed to be fixed and he could not move.

At this critical moment, Xie Xie caught a glimpse of Wang Jinxi's crisis from the corner of his eye. Before he could think about it, the light dragon dagger in his hand flew out in an instant and turned into a stream of light shooting towards the big net.

"Ding!" The light dragon dagger stabbed into the big net, splashing a string of sparks, but it only slightly slowed down the forward momentum of the net.

Immediately, the net continued to envelop Wang Jinxi. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin, not far away, also noticed the change. He suddenly hurled his Thousand Forged Silver Hammer at the net. With a resounding bang, the hammer slammed into the net like a cannonball, finally creating a gap.

At this moment, the culprit who attacked them finally revealed his true identity. When Wang Jinxi saw the appearance of the soul beast, his body trembled unconsciously.

Black and white textures. Its massive body resembled a millstone, each leg exceeding two meters in length. Its body emanated a strange glow. As it descended, a beautiful human face could be clearly seen on its underbelly, adding to its terrifying presence.

"The Man-Faced Demonic Spider!" This was the very same Man-Faced Demonic Spider that had nearly caused Wang Jinxi irreparable mental trauma. And this time, it was the one that had attacked him by surprise.

Wang Jinxi could even feel that this was the one that had once attacked him.

"What should we do? Should we retreat first?" Xie Xie noticed that something was wrong with Wang Jinxi and quickly came to his side.

No wonder these Wind Blade Wolves were in such a state of disarray. Even though the Man-Faced Demon Spider had only cultivated for a hundred years, it was powerful enough to hunt down thousand-year-old soul beasts. Furthermore, this was a Spirit Ascension Platform. Killing it would only grant them the spiritual power of a hundred-year-old soul beast at best, a loss that was hardly worth the effort. Furthermore, their primary goal now was to pass the final exam.

But before Xie Xie could answer, a figure rushed out before all of them. In just a few seconds, Lin Ci had arrived in front of the human-faced demon spider.

Lin Ci's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared at the spider. A longsword, emitting a cold glow, had appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist, swung the sword in a series of flashes, and pierced the spider's leg joints.

There is no doubt that the weak point of this spider creature is its legs. Although their numerous long legs can help them move flexibly, they are also their fatal weakness and extremely fragile.

The demon spider had clearly not expected the puny human before it to be so bold as to attack. Its millstone-like body twisted slightly, and one of its long legs, like a giant mace, swept towards Lin Ci with a whirring sound.

Lin Ci's figure flashed like a ghost, easily avoiding the fierce attack. At the same time, the long sword in his hand cut a deep gash on the leg of the human-faced demon spider, and dark green blood flowed out instantly.

"Hiss!" The human-faced demon spider let out an angry hiss. The beautiful human face on its lower abdomen was now twisted into an extremely hideous shape, as if venting endless anger. Its abdomen trembled rapidly, and countless spider silks shot towards Lin Ci like a dense rain of arrows.

Lin Ci's expression remained unchanged as he swung his sword rapidly, forming a sword curtain that blocked the incoming spider silk. However, there were so many spider silk strands that a few still broke through the sword curtain, grazed his arm, and left a few shallow blood marks.

At this time, Gu Yue's eyes grew colder, and as she waved her hand, several fireballs shot out rapidly.

At this time, the hundred-year-old human-faced demon spider also showed extremely powerful combat capabilities. Facing Gu Yue's continuous fireball attacks, it just raised its two forelimbs, with blurred light and shadow, and poked quickly in the air. Every fireball that hit its forelimbs would instantly disintegrate, leaving only a few sparks scattered.

The human-faced demon spider suddenly retreated, putting some distance between itself and Lin Ci. It spun out several large webs, intercepting Lin Ci as he attempted to advance. Then, it quickly circled them and slowly crawled sideways, its tail trailing a yellow-green silk thread. Wherever the thread passed, all vegetation withered rapidly.

Soon, a circle of spider silk was formed with the surrounding big trees as fulcrums. These yellow-green spider silks caused the big trees to begin to wither, but the trunks could still hold on for the time being.

"This beast wants to trap us all in here!" Xie Xie's eyes flickered, and he realized the motive of the human-faced demon spider.

The human-faced demon spider treated them all as prey, trapping them first and then attacking them when they were off guard.

Gu Yue directly used various elements to bombard the spider silk, but the effect was not good. The poison became a protective layer of the spider silk, and even the burning of fire could not have a good enough effect.

Lin Ci did not look around, but just put away his sword and stood where he was. The third soul skill of light domain perception in his mind had been fully released.

The area that the spider had encircled them was perfectly covered by his light perception, so he could instantly absorb all of its movements.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the human-faced demon spider to successfully launch a sneak attack.
