Divine Tang Era

Chapter 150 The Evil-Faced Earth Spider (Part 2)

"act recklessly."

Xu Dan hadn't expected that the evil-faced earth spider to be so brave. If so, then he would grant its wish.

At that moment, he drew the bow again, connecting it to his internal organs. A wisp of fire rose from his heart, transforming into a blazing fire arrow. He released the bowstring, a sound like celestial music. The arrow flew swiftly, like a white horse flashing past, chasing the wind and the moon, plunging into the body of the evil spider and bursting into flames.

The evil-faced spider screamed and rolled around in agony, but all to no avail. Finally, it collapsed to the ground and died powerless.

"careful."

Just as Xu Dan was enjoying the mournful howls of the Evil-Faced Earth Spider in its death, he suddenly heard Xue Diao's reminder.

Turning his head, he saw that the previously dead Evil-Faced Spider had come back to life. It was moving its body, shaped like an African drum and painted with a strange smiling face, pointing it at him. Xu Dan quickly turned his head to the side to avoid being bewitched by the smiling face.

But at this moment, something very strange happened.

The hideous, twisted, and eerie smiling face painted on the spider's body suddenly opened, spitting out clumps of bluish-purple ghostly creatures that resembled jellyfish, which floated towards Xu Dan's direction.

"What...what is this thing?" Xu Dan had never seen anything so strange before.

"Be careful, those are ghost spiders, not ground spiders. What comes out of their bellies are brain-eating demons that will burrow into people's brains and eat their brain marrow, and they will also spread a powerful venom. We can't let them get close. Xue Diao, you brothers, shoot those things dead quickly, we absolutely cannot let them get near us!" Lu Shizong, who was watching the situation, shouted loudly.

Hearing how terrifying the jellyfish ghost was, the people nearby all ran away.

Upon hearing its words, Xue Diao and Xue Bao'er immediately drew their arrows and shot. Not only did they miss, the arrows passed right through the brain-eating demon, failing to kill it at all.

Only then did they realize that it was a ghost, and ordinary arrows were useless against it; only talisman arrows could shoot it down. But the problem was that they didn't have any talisman arrows!

"A ghost? That's perfect." Xu Dan thought, taking out the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer and throwing it at the Brain-Eating Ghost. The Brain-Eating Ghost was very slow, and the hammer passed right through it, instantly turning it into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating.

After devouring the brain-eating demon, the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer seemed to move slightly. Instead of falling straight down, it slid down at a 45-degree angle, passing through another brain-eating demon, piercing into yet another brain-eating demon, before finally falling straight down and embedding itself in the ground.

Xu Dan rubbed his eyes, wondering if it was just his imagination, but the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer seemed to move.

But when the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer fell, it didn't seem to move, so I think I might have seen it wrong.

Although the Soul-Devouring Yin-Yang Hammer devoured several brain-eating ghosts, the Evil-Faced Ghost Spider continued to spit out jellyfish-like brain-eating ghosts.

One of the martial arts school disciples, quick-witted as ever, upon hearing the word "ghost," immediately took out an exorcising talisman. A burst of divine light erupted, and the brain-eating ghost vanished without even a sound. Seeing this, the other disciples also took out their own exorcising talismans.

Before long, all the ghosts present were dead, leaving not even a trace of eerie ghostly aura behind.

However, the evil-faced spiders are still wreaking havoc, because they are not ethereal ghosts, but living beings, and the exorcising talisman cannot deal with them.

The Evil-Faced Ghost Spider, taking advantage of its large size, relentlessly attacked the martial arts school disciples. The most troublesome part was its spider silk; it could spit it out at any time, and one could easily get stuck, which was extremely bothersome.

As the fight progressed, the martial arts disciples discovered the weakness of the Evil-Faced Spider.

Immediately, some people swung their swords at the legs of the Evil-Faced Earth Spider; others, standing a little distance away, channeled their inner energy and swung their swords, attacking from afar with sword energy. However, the Evil-Faced Earth Spider was agile and protected by a hard exoskeleton, making it difficult for the group to inflict any real damage on it for the time being.

The battle reached a stalemate, with the Evil-Faced Spider using its powerful strength and bizarre attack methods to keep everyone on their toes.

Most importantly, the evil-faced spider kept spinning silk endlessly, and soon it used its silk to connect everyone's tents together, creating a giant net above them.

The tents were inside the spider silk; they wanted to burn them but dared not, fearing they would lose even their tents.

They had no spares, and if the fire burned, they would have nowhere to sleep and would suffer in the wilderness.

For a moment, I was hesitant to act rashly.

After the martial arts disciples cleared the area with the exorcising talisman, the surviving evil-faced spider stopped spitting out the brain-eating ghost and instead stared at Xu Dan with a sinister and eerie smile that was terrifying.

Xu Dan wasn't about to let it go. He took out a long arrow, activated his lungs, and channeled a wisp of Geng metal energy into the arrow, transforming it into a sharp metal arrow. It pierced through the smiling face and exploded inside the body of a demonic spider behind it, turning it into a bloody mess.

The sharp golden arrow, capable of ripping away souls and tearing spirits, struck the evil-faced spider, making survival nearly impossible.

"Sharp Golden Arrow".

When Xue Diao and Xue Bao'er saw the long arrow he shot, they couldn't help but gasp.

They practiced for so long and hadn't even mastered one of the Five Elements Arrow techniques, yet he actually knew two. Indeed, the distance between people can sometimes be a chasm. The peak that ordinary people strive for their entire lives to reach might be there from the very birth of a genius.

"Um...

'

Suddenly, Xu Dan noticed that the Evil-Faced Ghost Spider would pause slightly each time it dodged an attack.

A thought struck me, and I felt as if I had grasped something crucial, yet also as if I hadn't.

With his eyes darting around, Xu Dan activated his double pupils. Under the light of his double pupils, the movement patterns of the Evil-Faced Spider became clearer. After observing for a moment, he finally discovered a weakness of the Evil-Faced Spider—a relatively weak area at the base of its left antennae.

To test this idea, he took an arrow, aimed, and prepared to shoot at the base of the left antennae of a nearby evil-faced spider.

The Evil-Faced Spider felt a chill coming from the left side of its body and instinctively turned its body.

Seeing that it was distracted, Zhang Bin, who was fighting it, seized the opportunity, gathered his inner energy, and thrust his sword straight forward. The sword energy was like a rainbow and the sword light was like lightning.

In an instant, the longsword pierced straight into the unsuspecting abdomen of the Evil-Faced Spider.

The evil-faced spider let out a sharp hiss, and dark green blood flowed from the pierced part of its abdomen.

In pain, the ghost spider twisted its body wildly, its eight limbs flailing erratically.

For a time, sand and stones flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

"puff"

Xu Dan's long arrow finally arrived, piercing the base of the Evil-Faced Spider's left antenna. With the arrow inside, the Evil-Faced Spider seemed cursed; its body flipped over, and it died, limbs in the air.

Xu Dan was overjoyed at this and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, focus your attacks on the left side of their bodies; that's their weak point!"

Everyone had their doubts, but when they saw the evil-faced spider he had shot dead, they immediately had no more doubts and all raised their swords to stab it.

Mo Shiwei was the first to respond, flicking her longsword and unleashing several sword techniques as she attacked the left side of the Evil-Faced Earth Spider. Immediately afterward, Lu Shizong also used his swordsmanship, thrusting towards the left side of the Evil-Faced Ghost Spider. The other martial arts school disciples followed suit.

Xue Diao seized the opportunity and shot an arrow like a meteor into the eye of the evil-faced spider in front of him.

The evil-faced spider sensed danger and tried to dodge, but dared not move because its left side was locked on.

In an instant, an arrow pierced one of the Evil-Faced Spider's compound eyes, and green slime splattered out. The Evil-Faced Spider went berserk, ignoring its wounds and restraints, and struggled to break free, lunging at Xue Diao.

Unable to dodge in time, Xue Diao was struck by the Evil-Faced Earth Spider's segmented limbs and sent flying backward.
