Chapter 55 White-Faced Black Puppet Spider (Green)
[Deduction successful. Your avatar "Black Puppet Spider (White)" has been promoted to "White-faced Black Puppet Spider (Green)," gaining the "Silk-weaving" talent.]

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 1377 points.]

"It's finally done!"

Liu Sheng let out a long sigh, feeling as if he had been detached from "Spider Life," and felt an urge to cry.

This simulation was extremely difficult!
He spent 597 points on spiritual essence alone, which is equivalent to being a spider for 597 years!

If it weren't for the fact that the panel would strip away most of his "spider life" memories after the deduction was completed, he estimated that he would have almost gone insane.

Fortunately, it's temporarily over.

Next, naturally, comes the time to reap the rewards.

Hopefully, the upgraded "White-faced Black Puppet Spider" will achieve its goal.

A thought struck him, and he clicked on the introduction on the panel—

White-faced Black Puppet Spider (Green)

The Hundred Poisons Mountain Spider, nesting in the rotten soil of Yinxu, has been performing for sixty years. Witnessing the actor's life of hardship, it eventually becomes a spirit and awakens a strand of the true blood of the Weaving Life Spider.

Its face is like a layer of white chalk, its body is like splashed ink, and its abdomen has silver-striped chelicerae. When it taps the ground, one can hear the flapping of flies and insects from ten miles away.

He especially loved the sounds of string and wind instruments, and often hid among the beams and pillars of the stage, using silk to pull the corpses and imitate the shadows of actors. Those who saw him called him "The Spider Playboy".

You have gained the "Silk-Entering" talent from the White-Faced Black Phantom Spider.

[The innate talent "Spider Hair" has been upgraded to "Spider Form".]

The innate talent "Concealing Qi" has been upgraded to "Concealing Breath."

Excellent, awakened true blood, at the level of a great spirit!
Secondly, in terms of the body, there are not many changes to the skin, muscles, and bones, but the toughness and sharpness of the hair have been improved to a higher level.

He felt that his hair could now pierce through gold and iron.

Moreover, it is easy to control, with the softness and hardness at your fingertips, and will not damage any parts.

Moreover, the two talent upgrades provide even stronger enhancements.

[Spider-like (Talent): Spiders spin silk, can detect unusual vibrations, and love to weave webs, advancing step by step. Those who possess this talent are sharp-minded, observant, and naturally born masters of formations.]

[Concealing Breath (Talent): Spider Silk, severing all aura. Those who possess this talent can expend stamina to conceal their aura within their bodies, making them undetectable to even the most cunning and ruthless.]

"A master of formations... Qimen Dunjia?"

Liu Sheng stroked his chin, a guess forming in his mind.

The "Concealing Breath" talent is said to be "undetectable even by hawks and hounds," but it remains to be seen whether it can evade the strange hawks and hounds trained by the imperial court...

If possible, he would have a lot more room to maneuver.

Bound by the rules, the other party dared not use lethal force and could only resort to various schemes and plots.

And he can be attacked by all sorts of monsters and demons, causing people to die "accidentally".

That would be awesome!

Of course, what we look forward to most is the talent of "thread pulling".

[Silk-Pulling Talent (Gift): A spider spirit, using silk to tether its shell, mimicking the movements of a dancer. Those possessing this talent can expend their vital energy to condense a strand of "silk" to control a person's body.]

According to the description, one can use their qi and blood to condense a "thread" to control another person's body...

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered a few times before finally settling on Fan Shaoming, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious.

This guy has been awake for about half an hour, but he's pretending to be unconscious because he's afraid of getting beaten up.

The treasure-hunting snake, Little Yellow, coiled up on his back, diligently monitoring the situation.

"Not bad!"

Liu Sheng touched the snake's head, and with a thought, the vital energy that filled its body suddenly diminished.

At the same time, the back of his right hand was incredibly itchy, and then…

A transparent thread emerged from under the skin!

Once this "thread" penetrates the target's body, it can control the target's behavior, mannerisms, and speech.

Until the "threads" disappear.

Gan!
It actually condensed into solid threads!

Can I still be considered a human being now?

He raised an eyebrow, carefully examining the "thread".

Before long, he had a general understanding.

The duration of the "thread-like" connection is related to the amount of qi and blood consumed.

For example, this "thread" has consumed about 10% of his current vital energy.

It can last for about twelve hours, or one day.

To put it another way, if he disregarded the risks and used all his vital energy to condense silk...

It can probably condense into a "thread" that can last for ten days.

"I was ill, which is why I consumed all my vital energy..."

Liu Sheng pursed his lips and decided to use Fan Shaoming as an experiment.

Half an hour later.

White mist rose from beneath his feet, transforming into a "white-faced black spider," its sharp pincers thrusting forward...

He was killed on the spot.

Next, it spun silk to entangle him, drawing him into a cocoon and severing his aura. Afterward, it transformed back into its original form, activated its "Conceal Breath" talent, completed the cleanup, and quickly withdrew.

He wanted to swear!

This "thread" can only control targets with lower cultivation levels than him!

It makes sense, but it's a total jerk!

Fortunately, the "spider form" and "breath concealment" enhanced by the "white-faced black puppet spider" are quite good.

That was some consolation.

However, upon further reflection, the "Threading" talent is actually a late-game talent.

For example, when you reach the fourth realm, others might only have one person, but if you include the several fourth realm cultivators you control, then you're definitely...

Gang fight!

Alright, alright, it's that "the road ahead is long and arduous, but the future is promising" cliché again, isn't it?
I, of all people, will...

Eat this empty promise!

……

Half an hour later.

Liu Sheng returned home and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In an instant, sweat poured out like a fountain, completely soaking his clothes.

He had previously carried the silk cocoon containing Fan Shaoming, intending to bury it at the Xu family mansion so that the White Lotus Sect and the Xu family could...

Dog eat dog.

But as soon as I climbed over the wall, I smelled the scent of photinia flowers.

Very strong.

I imagine the Xu family will be firing cannons tonight.

So, not wanting to offend his eyes, he immediately moved away.

Finally, this incense-offering boy was thrown into the Green Snake Gang's snake den.

The rest, you can play at your leisure.

And me, Liu...

Irrelevant!

After rinsing, I returned to the house, where the oil lamp was still lit.

Yu Niang propped her head up as she fished, casting her line repeatedly.

After more than half a month of nourishment, this woman was almost completely transformed.

With curved eyebrows and a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, she was probably thinking of something good.

Tranquil and peaceful.

Liu Sheng's desire vanished instantly. He went forward, carried her to the bed, and they slept soundly.

The next morning.

After having breakfast, Liu Sheng dressed himself in his armor and went to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

It was my first time on duty, and I was a little excited, but mostly I was looking forward to it.

I don't know...

What is the situation of the Xu family?
The rich scent of heather last night…

Gee!

After showing his waist tag, he followed Old He's instructions and went to the first courtyard.

The Demon Suppression Bureau's office was expanded from a four-courtyard building, covering an area of ​​several dozen acres.

However, the Beast Hunter is the lowest level in the Demon Suppression Bureau system, and their range of activities is limited; they can only move around in the first courtyard.

The courtyard is small, but it has all the necessary functions.

The mission room, duty room, training ground, equipment room, scripture library, and other functional areas all have signs posted on their doors.

The task room is the largest, with four rooms, bright and clean.

By this time, many beast hunters had already gathered here, in small groups, discussing something...

His expression was very strange; he wanted to laugh, but for some reason, he didn't dare to, so he could only suppress his laughter.

"...It is said that Xu Lishi came to ask for leave before dawn..."

"I heard that the Xu family was... hehe, very noisy last night!"

"This morning alone, more than forty corpses were carried out of the Xu family's house... All the servants and slaves are dead!"

"...Even the women in the backyard were all dead, all of them were wives and concubines of the Xu brothers. It is said that they were poisoned by their enemies!"

"Tell me, what kind of poison killed all the women, servants, and slaves in the house, but the four brothers... were unharmed?"

They were all poisoned to death?

Liu Sheng snorted coldly in his heart, his eyes flashing.

I underestimated the decisiveness of the three Xu brothers…

What a ruthless means!
