Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 37: Ten Thousand Years of Crypt Spider
"Huh!" Fang Chang gasped for air and looked back at the valley behind him. "Finally we got up."

The valley is circular in shape, resembling a dormant volcanic crater, with a depression in the middle that is about ten meters deep.

Surrounding it is a circle of protruding craters, with the difference in height between the highest point and the lowest point in the valley being as much as thirty to forty meters.

Its location is exactly on the dividing line of the fourth ring of the Star Dou Great Forest. Going outwards is outside the fourth ring, which is considered the outermost part of the forest, and going inwards is the fourth ring of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The so-called four rings are not as clearly divided as the human cities in Fang Chang’s previous life.

It is actually a vague dividing line formed by several rivers and mountain ranges.

For a long time, because of this natural barrier, humans outside the forest rarely entered here.

Therefore, the living conditions of the soul beasts in this area are much better than those in the outermost area, and their strength is also stronger. Up to now, the soul beasts in the fourth ring are basically soul beasts with soul power exceeding 5,000 years.

Standing on the top of the crater and looking down, the forest below is greener, the air is fresher, and there is less human smell. It seems that the whole world has become different.
Looking at this strange world, Fang Chang sighed inwardly. A month ago, he could only look up to this world, but now he has unknowingly touched the threshold.

Taking another deep breath of the sweet air, he walked towards the foot of the crater with great anticipation.

At this time, in his previous nest, Hu Liena and the other two were arguing fiercely.

"Look at you, you insisted on showing off and looked for them one by one. Now look what happened, right?" Hu Liena pointed at Yan and muttered in dissatisfaction.

She usually doesn't like to talk much and rarely argues with others, so it's really rare to see her like this.

Yan, who had his nose pointed at by her, scratched his head with his hand, rubbed his left heel with his right foot, and finally couldn't help but secretly grinning a few times.

As far as he could remember, this was the first time Hu Liena scolded him like that.

Normally, she would just say "ah", "oh", "hmm" to me in a perfunctory manner. If it wasn't something serious, I would hardly hear her say a complete sentence.

And today...she actually said so much to me.

It is said that women only quarrel with people they care about, but in her heart, she still likes me a little bit, right?
He couldn't help but think so.

Xie Yue couldn't bear it any longer, so he stretched out his hands and pressed Hu Liena's shoulders to help her calm down.

"Okay Nana, quarreling now won't solve any problems. Let's think about how to find that mutant human-faced demon spider."

They are now back in the hall of the underground lair. They have searched all of the dozen or so passages and found no trace of the mutated human-faced demon spider.

On the ground, all the entrances they have discovered are guarded by human soul masters, and these people also said that they have never seen the mutated human-faced demon spider come out.

After a roundabout way, the matter returned to the entrance of the alley. Most of the day given to them by the Spirit Hall had passed. If they could not find the mutant human-faced demon spider, it would mean that their mission had failed.

As the golden generation that Spirit Hall has devoted all its resources to train, they all have a bit of pride and will never tolerate such a situation.

"Then what do you think we should do? We've been looking for it for so long. If we could find it, we would have found it long ago." Yan touched his forehead. "I think it's either playing hide-and-seek with us, or it has already escaped from some unknown place."

Yan's thoughts are probably the same as most people's. Although he certainly cannot be said to be smart, he is not the kind of guy with a low IQ either.

Xie Yue raised his shoulders and looked at Hu Liena. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. The backbone of the team can best demonstrate their role at times like this.

"Hmph, why are you all looking at me? Didn't you insist on looking for them one by one?" Hu Liena turned her head to the side, her tone sounding a bit arrogant.

Although she acted indifferent to the matter, her eyes couldn't help but scan back and forth in the hall of the nest.

Finally, her attention returned to the passage they had taken when they first entered the valley.

"Damn it, how could I have forgotten this!" She clenched her right fist and hit her left palm hard, cursing herself in her heart.

"Hurry, go this way." Before Yan and Xie Yue could react, her body had already entered the passage.

They were both stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Hu Liena meant. They patted their heads and followed her.

Fang Chang had already reached the bottom of the mountain by this time. The area between the woods and the mountain was a large, barren, rocky land with no vegetation and no soul beasts.

He secretly murmured in his heart. Logically speaking, they are on both sides of the same crater. The other side is full of magical herbs and precious materials, so this side shouldn't be so desolate.

Even though it is not as hidden as the inside of the crater and guarded by giant demon apes, it should be more lively here.

He wandered around the bottom of the mountain for a while, but still felt that this place was too weird. He subconsciously walked along the edge of the crater, trying to bypass this barren land.

Fortunately, although this place was strange, nothing unexpected happened. He walked forward for seven or eight minutes and could see the edge of the wasteland.

Just when his consciousness relaxed a little, he suddenly heard some noise coming from that desolate land.

"Sha, sha~sha, sha" the sound was very low, as if it came from underground.

If it wasn't so quiet here and he wasn't just relaxed, he would never have noticed the sound.

The sound continued, becoming more and more obvious, and getting closer and closer. It felt like something underground was approaching him cautiously.

Fang Chang once again tensed up his heart, which had just relaxed. While paying close attention to the strange sounds coming from the wasteland, he quickened his pace and ran quickly towards the edge of the wasteland.

As if sensing Fang Chang's speed, the mysterious voice from underground also sped up. For a moment, it was as if someone was racing with Fang Chang underground, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"Hu, hu" Fang Chang panted heavily. Seeing that he was about to reach the border, he quickly used the "Soaring Leap" skill, jumped high, and headed straight for the green land on the other side.

Beneath the desolate land, that hidden existence finally stopped hiding.

Suddenly, a mound of earth with a diameter of about 50 to 60 centimeters appeared on the ground. There seemed to be some living creature inside the mound, chasing Fang Chang in mid-air and rushing over, even faster than him.

At the same time, it seemed as if a gaze was directed from inside at Fang Chang, locking him firmly.

Before Fang Chang landed on the ground, the guy underground had already reached his destination and crawled out of the ground.

Her body size is a whole circle smaller than mine, but she looks somewhat similar, both of them are big spiders with eight legs.

At this time, Fang Chang also recognized her. She turned out to be a distant relative of his, also very famous in the original book, the Crypt Spider.

The soul power of this crypt demon spider actually reached ten thousand years. It is actually a ten thousand year old crypt demon spider!
And the most important point is...she is still a female.
