Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 92: The Dilemma of Hanhai City
After saying goodbye to Xiaobai that night, Fang Chang embarked on his journey.

Poseidon Island is located in the westernmost ocean of Douluo Continent, while the Star Forest is located in the center of the continent. The journey is almost enough to cross half of the continent.

He continued as usual, traveling at night and hiding during the day.

Although his strength has improved greatly now, and he is good at defense, I am afraid that ordinary Titled Douluo will be unable to do anything to him.

But he still didn't dare to be too arrogant in the human territory. Otherwise, if the high-ranking people knew that a rare soul beast over 80,000 years old had escaped from the Xingdou Great Forest and was crossing the continent...

Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way. After almost a month's journey, Fang Chang finally saw the blue ocean from afar.

He had been walking along roads built by humans all the way here, so his current location was naturally outside a human city.

In the night, you can vaguely see a sign with the words "Hanhai City" hanging outside the city wall.

Fang Chang naturally couldn't understand these words, but he could vaguely judge from the scale of the city and the volume of the city walls that although it was not as big as Tiandou City, it was at least several times larger than Baishui City.

Plus, it was built on the seaside, so it should be considered a prosperous place, but at this moment the city seemed gloomy and desolate.

Although it was late at night, one could still see from a distance that people in the city were carrying luggage, taking their children and the elderly with them, and walking towards the distance.

When you get closer, you can see several piles of wood more than one person tall outside the city, with human corpses placed on the wood. Someone is pouring oil on the piles of wood and then setting them on fire.

As the flames spread, the heart-wrenching cries of the surrounding relatives also rang out.

Fang Chang's figure passed through them in the night. He did not feel much sympathy, but he also felt it was strange. What kind of misfortune had happened to such a good city?
After entering the city, he usually found the "Spider God Cult Branch" in the city first.

Along the way, he would give out the "Spider God's Reward" at every place he arrived at, and he only stopped when he was close to his destination to avoid being spotted.

The branch of the Spider God Cult in Hanhai City is located right on the seashore. It is quite large, with red bricks and green tiles, and the doorposts are painted gold, which shows how rich this place once was.

But at this moment, there were only two ordinary people, one old and one young, in the building, and there was not even a soul master "keeping watch". It was very different from all the places he had been to before.

At this moment, the old man was kneeling in front of the spider statue in the temple, with his hands clasped together and his eyes looking devout, "Great Spider God, please save us."

As soon as he finished saying this, he climbed down and kowtowed several times to the statue of the "Spider God".

The young man next to him supported him and urged him impatiently, "It's so late, Dad, let's go home quickly. What's the point of worshipping the Spirit Hall if even they can't solve the problem?"

Fang Chang was just about to leave when he heard the young man's words and instantly became interested.

He didn't bother to care about the lives of these humans, but when he heard that even the Spirit Hall couldn't handle this matter, he became very curious.

"You little brat, what do you know! The great Spider God can destroy other gods with just a wave of his hand!" When the old man heard what the young man said, he raised the pipe in his hand and hit him on the head.

"Yes, yes, yes." The young man dodged nimbly. "Who knows, maybe someone made this up to fool you old people and children. I don't believe it. How can a broken spider compare with the Spirit Hall?"

When the old man saw that he had dared to offend the Spider God in such a way in the temple, he shook his hand away and blew his beard in anger.

At this moment, Fang Chang's voice rang out in the old man's heart, "Old man, I am the messenger of the Spider God. Please tell me what happened in this city?"

The old man was stunned at first, then he was so scared that his old legs, which were almost unable to stand, stood up suddenly. When he came to his senses, he immediately burst into tears.

"The Spider God has appeared! The Spider God has appeared!" The old man cried out to the sky and banged his head on the ground.

The young man next to him was also frightened, and I then retorted to him, my father... I hope he is angry and stupid.

After waiting for a long time, when the old man's emotions had stabilized, Fang Chang sent another message, "Tell me about the trouble you've encountered."

The old man stopped crying and wiped his tears with his dusty sleeves. "Your Excellency, please listen to me..."

He had just said half of his words when his son rushed over and held his shoulders, "Dad, let's go back quickly. I'll take you to see a doctor."

"Get lost!" The old man stabbed his son away, but quickly excused him, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am a bad parent. I did not mean to offend you. I will continue to talk to you."

His son wanted to continue to stop it, but he felt an invisible pressure suddenly appearing around him. He couldn't speak or move his body, and was fixed in mid-air in a weird posture.

"Hmm" Fang Chang's voice was heard, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief and continued what he was saying just now.

"This story started more than a month ago. At that time, someone discovered a sea soul beast that had never been seen before dozens of miles away from the shore."

"At first, no one in Hanhai City took it too seriously. After all, this place is close to the sea, so it's normal to see a few sea soul beasts."

"But ever since the sea soul beast appeared, fishing boats and merchant ships sailing near Hanhai City have been attacked one after another, and many people have lost their lives."

Fang Chang listened quietly, quickly figuring out what kind of soul beast it was.

"If it were just that, it would be fine. At most, we can just not go out to sea these days. But in recent days, this sea soul beast has become more and more ferocious. Even anyone who goes to the beach to fish and collect the nets will be attacked by it."

Speaking of this, the old man started crying again, wiping his tears, "My eldest and second daughter were killed by it in this way. There are too many similar cases in Hanhai City."

"We are ordinary fishermen who make our living by the sea. This has cut off our livelihood. Please, envoy, help us!"

Fang Chang put one of his spider legs under his mouth and rubbed his chin, and continued to ask the old man through voice transmission, "You just said that the Spirit Hall can't solve it, what's going on?"

"Oh!" The old man slapped his head, "How could I have forgotten this?"

"After the incident in the city, the city lord went to find his acquaintances in the Spirit Hall and asked them to send a spirit master to help suppress the sea spirit beast."

"But the result was... the troops sent by the Spirit Hall were completely wiped out. Later, their spirit master came to see us again and only said that this matter could only be resolved by finding a Titled Douluo, and then there was no further news."

Oh? We need to find a Titled Douluo to solve this problem? Doesn't that mean this guy is very likely a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Fang Chang's eyes lit up.

"Old man, please tell me quickly, what does the soul beast that attacked you look like?" Fang Chang asked anxiously.

He knew that in addition to the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the Evil Killer Whale King and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, there must be other hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the sea. He just didn't know where they were. It wouldn't be such a coincidence that he would just run into them, right?
The old man looked bitter when he heard this question, "This...everyone who has seen it is dead. It's good enough to have an intact body left."

Then he seemed to have thought of something and quickly added, "But based on the injuries on the victim, we infer that this guy should have tentacles, lots and lots of tentacles, like an octopus."

Tentacles... Fang Chang thought about it carefully. In his memory, even if there were such hundred thousand year soul beasts in the Douluo World, most of them lived in the deep sea and would not easily run to the near sea.

"I'll go take a look. If I can handle it, I'll help you eat it... and solve it." He sent a message to the old man again, and at the same time lifted the pressure on his son. He remained in "stealth" mode and left the temple, heading towards the sea.
