Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 18 Encounter
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the old man and the child very long, stretching from the path all the way to the pond.

Tang Lin'er seemed very excited as it was her first time to spend the night outside, but Tang Liu was very cautious. He carefully held Tang Lin'er's hand and pulled her to his side, his eyes scanning the surroundings like a searchlight.

The closer it got to night, the more active the soul beasts became. Fortunately, this was already the outermost part of the forest, close to the city where humans lived.

If they went a little further in, Tang Liu wouldn't dare take Tang Lin'er with him.

"Dad, Dad, look here." Tang Lin'er, who had been restless, suddenly pointed at something not far away and shouted excitedly, attracting Tang Liu's attention.

He was just about to look in the direction Tang Lin'er pointed when he heard Tang Lin'er's next words that made his scalp tingle.

"The human-faced demon spider! It's the human-faced demon spider!"

Sure enough, in that direction, at the end of the road, beside the pond, a huge spider-shaped soul beast was lying there, motionless.

It was purple-black all over, and its body length alone was almost as tall as an adult. Each of its eight legs was more than two meters long, and its dark armor had a matte metallic sheen in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This looks very much like the legendary human-faced demon spider, but if you look closely, it seems a little different.

But this does not affect Tang Liu's judgment of its strength. It is very strong, extremely strong!
Feel its soul power again. Although it should be asleep now and not deliberately releasing its pressure.

But Tang Liu could still clearly feel the pressure this soul beast brought to him, which was obviously several times stronger than an ordinary thousand-year-old soul beast.

This is at least a being with a soul power of two to three thousand, or even stronger.

"Dad, why are you still standing there? Go ahead and do it!" Tang Liu hadn't come to his senses yet, and the scream from Tang Lin'er beside him made him scared to death.

How dare this little girl! If she wakes up the sleeping "human-faced demon spider", they will all die here tonight!
Before he could react, Tang Lin'er shouted even louder, "Go quickly, I want this human-faced demon spider."

Even though he was over ninety years old, this was the first time that Tang Liu felt so nervous.

He was born with only level two soul power, and his martial soul was only slightly stronger than a useless martial soul. After practicing for a lifetime, he had only just become a level 29 great soul master.

When he was young, he had hunted thousand-year-old soul beasts with others, but at that time there were more than a dozen people together.

If he were left alone, he would have no choice but to run away if he encountered a stronger soul beast that was more than five hundred years old.

Why would a soul beast of this level come here and let them meet it?

Tang Liu was overwhelmed with emotions and was about to pull Tang Lin'er away, but he saw her bending down, picking up a small stone from the side of the road, and aiming at the human-faced demon spider over there.

"No, no, Lin'er, stop it!" Tang Liu's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

"Lululu, I want it." At this time, Tang Lin'er still thought that her father was teasing her.

She made a face at Tang Liu and threw the small stone in her hand at the human-faced demon spider over there.

The pebble drew a graceful parabola in the air and fell onto the long, hard shell.

"Dang~Dangdang" the crisp sounds of metal collision were heard, but it seemed that these sounds were not ringing on the "human-faced demon spider", but on Tang Liu's heart.

By the pond, Fang Chang opened his eight eyes slightly, gently shook off the fallen leaves on his body, and slowly stood up using his spider legs to support himself.

I actually fell asleep in a place like this? Fang Chang was secretly shocked.

In the dangerous Star Forest, it is extremely dangerous to fall asleep so defenselessly. What if someone attacks you by surprise?

Speaking of sneak attacks...it seems like someone did sneak attack him just now, right?

Fang Chang seemed to remember something, his eyes gradually focused, he raised his head and looked not far away.

There, an old man with a hunched back was trying to pull a girl away, but the little girl was resisting in every way.

Was it her who attacked him? Fang Chang realized that he had just vaguely felt that someone had attacked him while he was asleep, and he woke up in fear.

However, he found that his opponent was just a little girl with no fighting ability.

When Tang Liu saw the "Human-faced Demonic Spider" stand up, the last hope in his heart was dashed. He took a deep breath, threw away his crutches, stood in front of Tang Lin'er, and opened his arms to protect her behind him.

This scene looked heroic, but at this moment Tang Liu's entire body was shaking from head to toe, and he was obviously panicking.

Fang Chang looked at him with both anger and amusement, and slowly walked forward. His eight scarlet eyes sizing up Tang Liu from a distance of less than twenty centimeters.

"Dad, what are you doing? Hurry up and use him to make a spirit ring for me." Tang Lin'er was unhappy. Where was her father, who was so upright and the best in the world?

Tang Liu tilted his head and scolded Tang Lin'er for the first time since she was born, "Shut up."

"Dad, you are so mean to me! Oh, oh, oh!"

Fang Chang was amused. So these two people also wanted to use him as a spirit ring?

The last person who thought so was almost beaten to death by him. If it weren't for that Titan ape causing trouble, I'm afraid there would be no such person in the world.

He stretched out a spider leg, patted Tang Liu on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, isn't it good to be alive?"

Of course, the two people couldn't understand these words. All they heard was a series of "hissing" sounds.

Fang Chang didn't use any strength, but Tang Liu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Tang Lin'er blinked and stared at Fang Chang. She finally understood that her father could not defeat the "human-faced demon spider" opposite. The faith in her heart collapsed.

Fang Chang glanced at her, shook his head, turned and left.

Fang Chang's spider legs slowly raised and then slowly put down. In the end, he did not attack the father and daughter. He always felt that this stupid kid who lacked the beatings of society would be of some use in the future, so he decided to keep it for the time being.

Tang Lin'er watched the "human-faced demon spider" walk farther and farther away and gradually disappear from her sight, and a strange thought quietly arose in her mind.

I want to be like him in the future!
Her martial soul is a spider, and seeing such a powerful spider-shaped soul beast actually developed a little yearning.

After a long time, Tang Liu finally came to his senses. He secretly thanked his lucky stars that he and his daughter had survived the disaster today, and quickly dragged Tang Lin'er out of the forest.

While all this was happening, a huge convoy was heading towards Baishui City.

The curtain on the right side of the golden carriage was gently pulled up, revealing the stunningly beautiful woman inside.

Outside her carriage, a knight in golden armor bowed respectfully.

"Your Holiness, we will probably arrive early tomorrow morning."

The beauty in the carriage said nothing, just nodded and lowered the curtain again.
