Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 101 The King of Snatchers, Looting Treasure Chests

Just as Tang San moved, Shi Quan's figure also moved.

The illusory figure floated up and chased straight after Tang San.

"Zhuang Zhou, what are you doing again!" Zhao Wuji was furious. He also wanted to stop him, but he clearly couldn't stop Shi Quan.

"I'll go and bring Tang San back," Shi Quan's voice came.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's expression softened considerably. He turned and glared at Oscar, "You brat, hurry up and get that mushroom sausage out of me. If we're going to chase, we'll chase together."

"Okay, okay," Oscar nodded quickly.

……

In mid-air, Tang San, having eaten the mushroom sausage and with the boost from Ning Rongrong, was so fast that even Shi Quan could only look on in disbelief. Fortunately, the lock-on of his spiritual sense allowed Shi Quan to keep track of his location, and with the boost from the Nine Shadows Shift, Shi Quan was not left behind by Tang San.

The Star Dou Great Forest was exceptionally dark at night. If it were an ordinary night, and Tang San dared to fly like this, he would have been surrounded and killed by those flying spirit beasts long ago, leaving not even a corpse.

It was because of the Titan Giant Ape that he did not encounter a single flying soul beast on his way here.

Fortunately, Oscar's flying mushroom sausage can only fly for one minute, and Ning Rongrong's boost also has a limited duration after exceeding a certain range.

This allowed Tang San to barely stay within Shi Quan's spiritual sense locking range.

Tang San flew less than 3,000 meters before landing and began to struggle through the forest. Shi Quan continued to fly forward, and because of Tang San's injury, the distance between the two gradually closed.

"It has stopped."

Excitement gleamed in Shi Quan's eyes. He was only a few hundred meters away from Tang San, and with his speed, he could catch up in less than a minute.

On the other side, Tang San had just taken out his water pouch from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night and was gulping down water when he was attracted by a strange sound.

The rustling sound sounded like someone changing clothes. Tang San slowly stood up and cautiously looked in the direction from which the sound came, and immediately saw a black spider.

It was indeed the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Shi Quan, who was in the distance, also sensed the presence of the human-faced demon spider.

The flight speed instantly increased to its maximum.

On the other side, Tang San's battle with the Man-Faced Demon Spider had already begun. He soon discovered that the Man-Faced Demon Spider was injured. If it were in its prime, Tang San would definitely choose to run away without hesitation, but the injured Man-Faced Demon Spider was a different story.

The battle scene was no different from the original work. Tang San, relying on the extraordinary power of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, severely injured the Human-Faced Demon Spider in just two short collisions, causing fatal damage.

It was only because the human-faced spider was so resilient that it did not die immediately.

Purple light and blue liquid mingled as the powerful body of the human-faced spider twisted and thrashed wildly on the ground.

Delicate plants were instantly corroded, and even large trees shattered upon impact. Within an area of ​​several dozen square meters, the scene was one of utter devastation, with no plant remaining intact.

Tang San had already rolled dozens of meters away, quietly waiting for the Man-Faced Demon Spider to die.

At that moment, Shi Quan suddenly appeared above the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Looking at the dying Man-Faced Demon Spider on the ground and Tang San, who was hiding twenty or thirty meters away, a smile appeared on his lips.

The timing was perfect!

The third spirit ring lit up, the black moon appeared, and black light enveloped the human-faced demon spider.

Shi's entire figure, shimmering with iron-colored light, descended from the sky, simultaneously releasing the impact of Dream Waves and the intimidating power of the Soul Gathering Technique.

The human-faced spider paused its thrashing movements. Shi Quan, unleashing his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, pierced the spider's head like a sharp blade falling from the sky. Blue liquid exploded, and before it even hit the ground, Shi Quan's figure returned to its illusory form.

The human-faced spider, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped moving. Purple light condensed, and a purple halo appeared. Without pausing, Shi Quan lifted his clothes, grabbed the spider's leg, and brought it to the pocket of his treasure bag.

The next second, the enormous human-faced demon spider corpse and the floating soul ring were all stuffed into Shi Quan's treasure bag.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears, triggering the Plunder Treasure Chest, which has been opened for the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Dragon Spine."

Upon hearing the system's voice, Shi Quan couldn't help but smile.

Call me the King of Bargains.

Although Tang San inflicted a fatal wound on the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the standard for determining the killing of a soul beast is whoever killed it and whose soul ring belongs to them.

Tang San's fatal wound didn't kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider outright, but it was fatal. If no one had attacked him along the way, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would have been his if it had died. But the important thing is that the Man-Faced Demon Spider wasn't dead when Shi Quan arrived, so I'm sorry to say that.

In the original story, Tang San took the corpse of the Earth Demon Pearl to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to absorb it.

So Shi Quan had long wondered if, if he put the corpse of the human-faced demon spider into his treasure bag, the soul ring would also go into the treasure bag along with it.

Just as Shi Quan had predicted, the spirit ring indeed entered the treasure bag along with the corpse of the human-faced demon spider.

Having done all this, Shi Quan didn't pause at all. He immediately disappeared, silently widening the distance between himself and Tang San.

On the other side, Tang San, having exhausted his soul power and physical strength, coupled with his internal injuries, collapsed to the ground as soon as he reached a safe place, panting heavily. He had no mind to look at the Human-Faced Demon Spider anymore.

Seeing that the human-faced spider in the distance had stopped moving, when he turned around, the human-faced spider was already gone.

"Where is the Human-Faced Demon Spider?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly got up and walked towards where the Human-Faced Demon Spider was.

He originally intended to absorb the spirit ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which was one of the planned spirit beasts. However, because the poisonous Blue Silver Grass could not withstand too much, the plan was changed to devouring and absorbing spirit beasts of the same attribute.

But he didn't have time to think about that now. He just wanted to improve his strength and find Xiao Wu as soon as possible. In Tang San's opinion, even if he absorbed a poison-attribute soul beast, the Blue Silver Grass would definitely still be fine.

But the problem now is that the human-faced spider has mysteriously disappeared.

He was certain that he had just inflicted a fatal wound on the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and its death was only a matter of time. But now, how could the Man-Faced Demon Spider have suddenly disappeared?

"It ran away?" Tang San murmured, his expression grim. He looked around and shook his head. "Impossible. It couldn't have run away with such severe injuries. Even if it did escape, it would have made a sound. What happened?"

Tang San's mind was completely blank, mainly because too many things had happened in one night. First, there was the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu was captured, and then the Human-Faced Demon Spider suddenly disappeared.

"So what if he's gone? Saving Xiao Wu is the priority." Tang San didn't have time to think about anything else. In his current state, if he encountered another soul beast, he would perish in the Star Dou Great Forest. He needed to recover to a certain level before he could continue searching for Xiao Wu.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the potential dangers. He sat down again, panting heavily, trying to recover his spirit before continuing his cultivation to restore his soul power.

However, just as Tang San began cultivating, three figures rushed towards him.

"You are... Tang San?" Snake Granny was the first to spot Tang San's figure. Looking at his miserable appearance, she couldn't help but frown.

"Tang San, what are you doing here? Did you fight the Man-Faced Demon Spider? Where is the Man-Faced Demon Spider?" Snake Granny looked at the blood of the Man-Faced Demon Spider on the ground, looked around, and seeing that there was no trace of it, she frowned and asked.

Tang San stood up with a wry smile. "Senior, I did encounter the Man-Faced Demon Spider just now, and I did fight it. I happened to severely injure the Man-Faced Demon Spider and ran to the side to dodge. Suddenly, the Man-Faced Demon Spider disappeared inexplicably. I don't know where it went."

"Disappeared?" Meng Yiran said angrily, "Tang San, are you kidding me? How could such a big soul beast just disappear for no reason?"

"Senior, everything I said is true. You can check the signs of battle at the scene. I just came from there myself."

Tang San pointed to the rolling tracks on the ground.

After exchanging a glance, Dragon Lord and Snake Granny nodded. As a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, Dragon Lord's observation skills were astonishing even in the dark. While Tang San was explaining, he had already observed everything around him. He was certain that Tang San was not lying, but they had never heard of a soul beast disappearing before, so they naturally could not easily believe Tang San's one-sided story.

"You have a space-type soul tool, right?" Long Gong's gaze fell on the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at Tang San's waist. Soul tools all have soul power fluctuations, so Long Gong naturally recognized it at a glance.

It's impossible for such a large soul beast to simply disappear. In their view, there is only one possibility: Tang San killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider in this short period of time and put it into his soul tool.

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess guessed correctly, but unfortunately, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was not in Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, but in Shi Quan's Treasure Bag.

"Senior, this spatial soul tool of mine is called Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. It contains twenty-four gems, and each gem can only store one cubic meter of material. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is so big that it is impossible to put it into my soul tool," Tang San quickly explained.

"Whether it is or not, just let me check, won't that be enough?" Long Gong sneered.

Tang San naturally didn't want to let Long Gong inspect it, but he had no choice but to hand over the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.

There was no other way; he couldn't win. In order to find Xiao Wu, he had no choice but to back down.

Upon receiving the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, Long Gong began examining it without any hesitation. Aside from discovering some unusual hidden weapons, he naturally couldn't find anything related to the Human-Faced Demon Spider...
