Chapter 52 Refining, Black Puppet Spider (Please read on, vote with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

Black Puppet Spider?
It seems to be much stronger than the Treasure-Seeking Serpent.

Liu Sheng parted the spider web and rescued Xiao Huang, then seemed lost in thought.

"hiss~"

Little Yellow chirped softly, wrapped its arms around his wrist, climbed onto his shoulder, and snuggled up to him affectionately.

It seemed to be explaining why it couldn't beat a spider.

As for the treasure-hunting snake, its main ability is, of course, treasure hunting.

For fighting and such, there are also Little Black, Little Red, Little White, and Little Green.

In short, it was a desperate attempt to save face.

Even strange snakes have their pride.

"I haven't seen you find me any treasures!"

Liu Sheng chuckled and cursed, glanced at the Black Puppet Spider's essence, hesitated for a moment, and decided to make a decision before leaving.

This avatar slot has been vacant for several days; he hasn't decided what kind of avatar he wants.

A fight broke out, with shimmering birds in the sky, and blue-scaled snakes and giant, striped tigers on the ground.

We're still missing one that's in the water.

But now, killing people in the city is forbidden, especially by officials…

The death of one or two is fine, but if too many die, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Suspended Mirror Bureau.

Therefore, when choosing an incarnation, he prefers one that is functional.

For example, concealing one's scent, disguising one's identity, and eliminating traces without attracting more attention...

What are the spider's talents?
Spitting silk, poison?

Preying on insects?

Six more arms will grow?

Liu Sheng shook his head, putting that aside for the time being, and began the part that everyone was looking forward to.

A moment later, he searched the entire room and found over 2,200 taels of silver, a secret manual, an unfinished secret letter, and an identity bamboo token...

Harvested 72 points of spiritual energy.

"Oh ho, the White Lotus Sect... the incense-offering boy Fan?"

After reading the secret letter, Liu Sheng played with the bamboo plaque in his hand, lost in thought.

The front of the plaque is carved with a white lotus, the back with a Maitreya Buddha statue, and a line of text engraved next to it, indicating its identity.

The White Lotus Sect is a genuine cult and rebel group!

This guy is a member of the White Lotus Sect, and he's in cahoots with the Xu family, doesn't that mean...

Are the Xu family members of the White Lotus Sect?

Tsk tsk, this is something that could lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan!
Once this evidence is sent to the county government, no matter how extravagant the Xu family tries to cover it up, they will not escape the fate of being wiped out.

However, we shouldn't be too optimistic about this.

What if there are members of the White Lotus Cult in the county government office, or in higher-level key positions?
I only want to use someone else to do my dirty work, but I have no intention of being loyal to the Great Yu!

This is risky…

It's not worth the risk.

But if we don't take advantage of this thing and give the Xu family a good thrashing, it wouldn't be right.

If only I could control this guy.

There's a pawn infiltrated into the White Lotus Sect, using its power to cause trouble; perhaps…

It can also help my master.

What a pity...

Liu Sheng glanced at Fan Shaoming, feeling quite regretful.

Wait, what's this alien black spider called again...?

Black Puppet Spider?!

hiss--

"This black spider was tamed by a master in the sect, and its venom is extremely potent."

It is extremely sensitive to vibrations, making it far more effective than a dog for early warning.

Spider silk can conceal one's presence. After taking action, one can have a black spider spin a cocoon and stay inside for a period of time to completely eliminate any trace of one's presence.

In addition, this venomous spider also enjoys listening to operas and imitates the actors as they handle the carcasses of insects they have eaten…

Within the sect, only those of the rank of "Incense Offering Child" or higher are qualified to keep one.

Fan Shaoming readily confessed, since it wasn't some core secret anyway.

Besides, what secrets could a mere incense-offering boy possibly know?
"Both of these functions are very powerful. The White Lotus Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a professional rebel group; the demonic creatures and exotic species they raise are specifically designed to target the imperial court..."

Liu Sheng licked his lips, looked at the essence of the Black Puppet Spider, and his eyes flickered.

In particular, this venomous spider likes to manipulate the bodies of insects, like an actor performing a play!
He pressed for details about this characteristic and learned that this black puppet spider could only manipulate the bodies of ordinary insects or animals.

In other words, the venomous spider's ability to control "puppets" is greatly limited. So...

Want to take a gamble?
Currently, it seems that the increase in the body's "surplus" is probably...

Each breakthrough in a minor realm allows for the accommodation of one more transforming body.

His Qi and blood are now fully developed, and he will soon be able to achieve perfect balance...

Then there will be another "avatar slot".

Moreover, even if you lose the bet, you'll still have an extra life as a safety net.

But if you win the gamble, you might gain a talent related to "puppetry," or a talent for concealing your presence...

Many of the difficulties we face today can be easily resolved.

and so……

"Refining!"

The moment the thought arose, the essence of the Black Puppet Spider transformed into a wisp of white mist and entered his body.

A delicate, cool breeze appeared out of nowhere, spreading out like spider silk into countless threads…

It seeped into the limbs and bones, into the internal organs, and finally accumulated there…

On the body hair!

The fine, fragile hair, as if forged through countless trials, became softer than silk and tougher than fine steel, and…

It's as if it's come alive!

It seems to stretch out one moment and shorten the next, suddenly becoming thinner and then rapidly thicker...

And their perception is extremely sharp.

I do not know how long it has been…

When Liu Sheng came to his senses, all the strange changes in his body had ended.

On the panel in front of me, light and shadow flickered, like water cascading down...

[Successfully refined the Black Puppet Spider's essence, obtaining the "Black Puppet Spider" avatar...]

The main changes seem to be in the hair; I don't feel any changes in the muscles, bones, skin, or flesh.
Liu Sheng sniffed and clicked on the "Black Puppet Spider" introduction—

Black Puppet Spider (White)

A unique species of spider from Hundred Poison Mountain, with a body harder than iron and extremely potent venom. It is adept at spinning webs that can block out breath, and enjoys manipulating its own body for play, making it a natural puppeteer.

[You have received the Black Puppet Spider talents "Spider Hair" and "Concealed Qi".]

"Spider Hair? That's a bit... weird. Let's see how it goes first."

Liu Sheng's lips twitched, and he quickly clicked on the talent introduction...

[Spider Hair (Talent): The hairs on the legs of a strange spider can detect the slightest movements of the earth's veins. Those who possess this talent will find that within a ten-foot radius, even rats and ants scurrying about sound like drums.]

[Concealing Qi (Talent): Spider Silk, capable of severing all aura. Those who possess this talent can consume stamina to conceal fluctuations in their blood and qi.]

These two talents are very useful.

In terms of effectiveness, it is indeed not as good as the talent enhanced by the incarnation of a spirit or monster, but in terms of direction, it is what he needs.

He closed his eyes, stood there, his hair fluttering, instantly catching the direction of the wind!

At the same time, various vibrations occurred all around—from the airflow, from the ground, from the beams, from the walls…

Within a ten-zhang radius, he could clearly perceive everything, regardless of strength or weakness.

For example, just a wall away, in the cattle and horse inn in front, two horses are "puffing" and "puffing".

Summer is here, and it's breeding season for animals.

For example, among the branches and leaves outside the window…

There were six mosquitoes, five flies, and nine moths fluttering their wings.

Even ten feet underground, the noise caused by the crawling of rats, cockroaches, ants, earthworms, dung beetles, etc.

This also includes the growth of tree roots, the sprouting of grass blades...

Even without opening his eyes, a vivid and lively image still appeared in his mind.

It just... has no color.

This is the effect of the "Spider Hair" talent, which is outstanding.

Great!

However, he couldn't sense his "hidden energy" talent after using it; he had to find someone to test it on.

However, the mere addition of a different species-level talent was clearly not enough to satisfy him.

In particular, the talent he most desired, related to "puppetry," did not appear!

And he is currently...

Possessing a "huge sum" of 1974 spiritual points!
and so--

Let's deduce, the Black Phantom Spider incarnation!
It's the last week of the new book's run. Fellow readers, please lend me a hand by reading it, giving me monthly tickets and recommendation votes. Thank you!
