Chapter 16 A Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Beast, and a Mysterious Person Who Suddenly Appears

Starry Sky Forest.

The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. At this moment, Lin Fan clearly noticed that the soul beasts appearing around him were much larger in size and aura than before.

While watching the anime, Lin Fan didn't feel anything, but walking in this real forest, he felt a chill run down his spine. The late hour added to the atmosphere of unknown danger in the forest.

"Be careful, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have started to appear. Let's move slowly and not disturb them."

Tang Yiran gave a reminder, then asked Lin Fan, "Xiao Fan, what kind of ten-thousand-year soul beast are you looking for? Don't try to fight a ten-thousand-year soul beast alone. Even a weaker ten-thousand-year soul beast is equivalent to a level 50 human Soul King."

Lin Fan thought for a moment. According to what Ling'er had said, the Divine Stroke technique only needed to be attached to the soul ring of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to complete the advancement. The older the soul beast, the stronger its power after advancement.

From this perspective, it shouldn't be related to the strength or attributes of the soul beast itself, since Lin Fan wasn't going to acquire the soul beast's soul skills.

Lin Fan said in a low voice, "Any ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will do, the longer the better. The type and attributes of the soul beast itself don't matter. I should be able to handle one with weaker combat power."

Tang said with a hint of helplessness.

"I really don't know what you're up to, Xiao Fan. You want to absorb a soul ring, but you don't even choose the attribute and type of soul beast. Fine, I'll keep an eye on you for a while. If you can't absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at all and still force it, I'll knock you out and take you back."

Lin Fan smiled and didn't say anything more. The five of them continued to walk carefully along the forest. Occasionally, some birds and beasts of several hundred years old would fly by. This level of soul beasts was the most common in the Star Dou Forest, but most of them were not aggressive and did not attack humans.

"etc……"

Tang Yiran suddenly stopped, and seeing that she was not moving, Lin Fan and the other three also immediately stopped.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong pointed in shock to a huge creature on the riverbank ahead, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Fan, look there."

Lin Fan looked in the direction Liu Erlong pointed and was immediately stunned. There was a huge, armored, two-headed crocodile there. Its long tail looked terrifying. In his previous life, it would probably be the size of two trucks.

"What is this thing...?" Lin Fan asked hurriedly.

Tang Yiran said seriously, "This is a two-headed rock crocodile. This two-headed rock crocodile looks to be 20,000 years old. The two-headed rock crocodile's defense is extremely amazing. I'm not even sure I can handle this one. Let's hurry... go in another direction."

Lin Fan nodded, and the five of them immediately bypassed the two-headed rock crocodile and headed to the left.

Fortunately, we haven't fully ventured into the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest yet.

Although there are ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts here, they are not concentrated together. Each ten-thousand-year-old soul beast has its own territory and does not allow other soul beasts to invade it. It is generally not possible to encounter two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts at the same time.

"Um?"

Lin Fan suddenly saw a cat that looked a lot like a modern cat running in the distance. The cat's eyes glowed in the dark, but one was white and the other was red. The cat was running anxiously and meowing.

Besides them, there were other spirit beasts running as well, seemingly because something frightening them was behind them.

This is……

Lin Fan suddenly saw a giant spider slowly crawling out of the woods behind him. The spider's spears were extremely sharp, and it was about the size of an elephant. Most strangely, it seemed to have a disgusting human face on its head.

"This is a human-faced demon spider."

Tang Yiran suddenly spoke up, "The Human-Faced Demon Spider is a nightmare for small soul beasts. They specialize in devouring various small soul beasts that are a few hundred years old, making them an extremely ferocious type of soul beast. Judging from its size, this Human-Faced Demon Spider is already ten thousand years old."

"A ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider?"

Lin Fan suddenly remembered that this was the same one Tang San killed in the anime, and now it was his turn.

Tang San was level 30 back then, and he almost died fighting a two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider. Now this ten-thousand-year-old one...

"Perfect timing, I'll take it."

Lin Fan's eyes were resolute. Just then, he saw the Human-Faced Demon Spider suddenly spit out a mouthful of white spider silk, about to bind the kitten. Lin Fan immediately launched a merciless charge, instantly rushing in front of the kitten, raising his Shadow Battle Axe, and with a hissing sound, he severed all the spider silk.

The kitten turned around and glanced at Lin Fan, meowed a few times, and quickly hid behind a big tree nearby, watching Lin Fan curiously.

The next moment, Tang Yiran rushed to Lin Fan's side, grabbed his hand and said.

"Xiao Fan, are you crazy? A ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider is not easy to deal with. Even I dare not touch its poison easily. Go to Erlong and the others. I will deal with it. I will let you make a move after I have almost killed it."

Lin Fan said, "It's okay, Mentor Yiran. Don't underestimate me. Let me do it. I can't just stand there like a useless person. This is the soul ring I need. If you're worried, just watch from the side. You can go when I'm done."

"You brat..." Seeing Lin Fan's insistence, and with the Human-Faced Demon Spider already eyeing Lin Fan, Tang Yiran had no choice but to release Lin Fan's hand and immediately unleash her Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

Lin Fan summoned the Shadow Battle Axe and launched another relentless charge towards the Human-Faced Demon Spider. At the same time, he also summoned his first martial soul, the Purple Flame Fire Tiger.

Peng...

Lin Fan instantly appeared beside the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider. Before the spider could react, Lin Fan's Shadow Battle Axe severed one of its legs.

"Awoooooo..." The human-faced spider let out a miserable cry and immediately sprayed out venomous silk. Lin Fan instantly used the Ruthless Charge double jump to dodge. Although he was grazed a little, the silk threads were quickly burned away by the purple flames on Lin Fan's body.

This is why Lin Fan summoned the Purple Flame Tiger Martial Soul, because the purple flame has a strong restraining effect on the deadly poison of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

"Awooo..." This time, the human-faced spider no longer used its venomous silk. Instead, it brandished its four meter-long venomous stingers and frantically stabbed at Lin Fan. This time, the human-faced spider was incredibly fast, making it almost impossible to dodge.

"A stroke of genius..."

Just as Lin Fan was about to be stabbed, he immediately used the Divine Brush, and the Azure Lotus Sword Formation bloomed around him, instantly paralyzing the Man-Faced Demon Spider for eight seconds. Although it did not completely paralyze the ten-thousand-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider, its speed was greatly reduced, and Lin Fan himself entered an untargetable state, disappearing the moment he was stabbed by the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

The next moment, the Human-Faced Demon Spider let out another shrill scream. The damage from the Azure Lotus Sword Formation immediately caused countless wounds to split open on its body. Most importantly, its leg was right at the edge of the Divine Brush Circle, suffering two piercing wounds and losing 600 points of defense.

Indeed, the skill Lin Fan unleashed using the Shadow Battle Axe already had 1000 defense penetration. After touching the sword circle, the Divine Stroke reduced the Human-Faced Demon Spider's defense by another 600 points. Four of its remaining seven legs were severed, and its massive body could no longer support itself.

Lin Fan leaped up instantly. The eight seconds hadn't been up yet, which was the weakest moment for the Man-Faced Demon Spider. He threw the Shadow Battle Axe in his hand and slashed it hard at the Man-Faced Demon Spider's head.

At the same time, Lin Fan used his newly acquired third soul skill, Poison Flame Impact, once again.

"Peng..."

After the Shadow Axe struck the Man-Faced Spider's head, a ball of purple flame descended from the sky once more, completely igniting the spider's body. The Man-Faced Spider let out a few weak cries before finally dying.

Before long, a black spirit ring appeared on the body of the human-faced demon spider.

This scene left Liu Erlong, Ye Keke, and Shui Yue'er, who were not far away, stunned.

"He really killed a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast all by himself?"

Liu Erlong could hardly believe what he was seeing. A Soul Master who had just reached level 30 had actually killed a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast that was comparable to a Soul King.

Shui Yue'er's mouth gaped slightly in surprise. She never expected that the boy she initially looked down on, the one considered the lowest-ranked in the group, would shock her time and time again.

Just as Lin Fan landed and was preparing to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, four dark figures suddenly darted out from not far away.

"Who is it?"

Tang Yiran came to Lin Fan's side, and the four shadowy figures no longer hid. After seeing that Lin Fan had begun to absorb the soul ring, one of the shadowy figures immediately cursed.

"Damn it, too late! How could that kid have killed the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider so quickly?"

Another shadowy figure chimed in, "Could he be a Soul King?"

"So what if he's a Soul King? With me here, why should I be afraid of a mere Soul King?"

An old man dressed in a black robe with a strange appearance emerged from the shadows, chuckling eerily, "Even without the ten-thousand-year soul ring to steal, I could still drain their soul power, hehehe. What's more, there's such a beautiful woman here..."

"That's right, Mr. Ge, there are three more beauties over there. We've hit the jackpot this time, hahaha."

At this moment, Lin Fan finally saw the faces of the four dark figures clearly. The one in the middle was an old man wearing a black robe, and the other three were also old men wearing strange clothes with bat symbols painted on them.

After reading chapter 80, it's incredibly satisfying! Tang San and Qian Renxue become the protagonist's son or daughter, their relationship a mix of love and hate. Bibi Dong and her daughter are the main female lead, Ah Yin is the second female lead, and there are also Tang Yuehua, Xiao Wu's mother, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and others...
