Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 32 The Chain Reaction Brought About by the Human-Faced Spider

"This spider web is too stiff!"

Even Tang Wulin's Thousand-Refined Hammer was ineffective against this spider web. The power of the Hundred-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider was evident.

It was even more difficult to deal with than the crystal bear that the four of them had encountered before.

The spider silk continued to accumulate, and they couldn't break through the web, while the human-faced spiders didn't launch an attack immediately.

It is hesitating, searching for an opportunity.

The human-faced spider is very clever; it has its own methods for fighting with fewer troops.

After a long time, even the spider silk wrapped around the trees and surrounded them more than a dozen times.

And just then, the human-faced demon spider lurking in the web suddenly jumped up and shot out a thick spider web in mid-air towards Lin Ci's direction.

But it went straight toward Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi's fear made the Spider-Faced Demon think he was the weakest link among the six. Lin Ci, who had just fought it, was the most difficult to deal with. Therefore, the spider web was a feint attack, intended to stall Lin Ci, while its target remained Wang Jinxi from beginning to end.

A huge, highly venomous spider leg hurtled straight at Wang Jinxi. Even with his lingering fears, he faced it head-on.

His two spirit rings shone brightly at the same time. His first spirit skill, Bone Dragon Claw, caused his right arm to change rapidly, and his second spirit skill, Bone Soul Conversion, was fully activated.

The enormous bone dragon claws barely withstood the attack of the human-faced demon spider.

But it was only temporary. The human-faced spider had eight legs. Wang Jinxi had just blocked the attack of two legs when the other two venomous legs attacked him.

But the expected attack did not land on Wang Jinxi.

Before anyone knew it, Lin Ci had already reached the face of the human-faced demon spider, and the spider web did not stop him at all.

Lin Ci's lightsaber then severed the two legs of the human-faced spider.

Under the perception of the light domain, he already knew all the actions of the human-faced demon spider, so the spider web could not possibly restrain him.

The human-faced spider cried out in pain, the agony of its severed leg causing it to let out a piercing hiss that seemed to shatter eardrums. It twisted its body in fury, its remaining spider legs lashing wildly at Lin Ci.

Lin Ci's eyes remained calm as he moved with lightning speed through the dense attacks. His lightsaber danced in his hand, flashing with brilliance, and he deflected several more fierce attacks from the human-faced demon spider.

At this moment, Tang Wulin was not idle either. He seized the opening revealed by the Man-Faced Demon Spider's attack on Lin Ci, raised the Thousand-Refined Hammer, and smashed it fiercely into the Man-Faced Demon Spider's abdomen. With a muffled thud, the Man-Faced Demon Spider trembled from the powerful impact.

But the Human-Faced Demon Spider lived up to its reputation as a powerful soul beast. It quickly recovered and, taking advantage of Tang Wulin's inability to fully regain his footing after his attack, swept a thick spider leg across Tang Wulin with a whooshing sound.

Tang Wulin was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the attack. His body flew out like a cannonball and crashed heavily into a large tree, breaking the tree in half.

But taking advantage of the moment when it attacked Tang Wulin, Lin Ci had already gotten close to the core of the human-faced demon spider.

That is, its human face!

Almost instantly, Lin Ci's punch, accompanied by a ball of light, slammed into that terrifying human face. The force was immense.

The human-faced spider's face was struck by the sudden, heavy blow, causing its head to snap back and its massive body to shake violently. Its eight eyes gleamed with madness and fury, and its remaining spider legs stabbed wildly at Lin Ci with reckless abandon.

Just then, Wang Jinxi, enduring the pain from the previous battle, activated his soul skill again. A thick layer of black aura clung to his bone dragon claws. He spotted the side wing that the human-faced demon spider had exposed when it attacked Lin Ci, and charged forward, slamming his claw into the spider's body.

This claw strike was incredibly powerful, leaving several deep scratches on the human-faced spider's hard exoskeleton, from which green blood gushed out. This forced the human-faced spider to divert some of its attack towards Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi was prepared and nimbly dodged, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, but he was still hit by the spider's leg that grazed him, and staggered back a few steps.

The human-faced spider wanted to attack again, but the next moment, Lin Ci, who was standing not far away, clenched one hand very tightly.

The human-faced spider seemed to sense something, and its raised spider legs froze completely in mid-air.

Before it could even let out a cry, several beams of light split off from inside its body, and then it shattered with a bang!

His entire body exploded, and Wang Jinxi, who was closest to him, saw it most accurately.

Only when he saw the Man-Faced Spider defeated thanks to everyone's efforts did he finally feel a sense of relief.

This is very similar to when Lin Ci dealt with the Crystal Bear. His punch to the face of the Human-Faced Demon Spider was not as simple as it seemed. At the same time as the punch struck its face, countless light elements were also poured into the Human-Faced Demon Spider's body.

Any element, even one that isn't light, when it becomes too concentrated and unstable, violates the law of conservation of energy, making an explosion inevitable. In such a vast space, the distribution of light elements is relatively uniform, and even with Lin Ci's current strength, he cannot concentrate light elements to the point of causing an explosion from a distance.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But it's different inside the human-faced spider. Its internal space is small, making it easier for elements to gather and become concentrated. Therefore, an explosion would be much easier.

Lin Ci has practiced this move quite a bit; it can be considered a self-created soul skill.

Tang Wulin stood up from the wreckage of the tree, dusted himself off, and although he had been struck by the Human-Faced Demon Spider, his solid physique had prevented him from suffering serious injuries. He walked over to Lin Ci and grinned, "Lin Ci, that was a really brilliant move! I almost thought I was going to die here."

Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi had just been entangled in the spider web and had barely broken free when the battle was over. They had even witnessed the moment the human-faced demon spider exploded.

"Stop chatting and start preparing to absorb spiritual energy." Lin Ci glanced around indifferently, a satisfied look appearing in his eyes.

Many soul beasts had already perished on the surrounding spider silk. This was during a period of unrest, and the number of soul beasts in the forest was much higher than normal.

Furthermore, not every soul beast possesses keen senses; different soul beasts perceive their surroundings in different ways. Therefore, some detour, while others run right into them. The venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider is so terrifying; its silk is not only highly poisonous but also extremely resilient, making it difficult for even large soul beasts to break upon impact. Therefore...

Under the attack of the deadly poison, ten-year-old soul beasts almost always die instantly, while hundred-year-old soul beasts can only hold on for a little longer.

Anyone who touches a spider's web is doomed. Those with keen senses can avoid it, but those with poor senses face certain death.

After a soul beast dies, its spiritual power naturally overflows. If it were a normal Spirit Ascension Platform, its spiritual power would dissipate quickly after overflowing. However, since it is currently in a period of turmoil, the spiritual power dissipates much more slowly. Not far from the spider silk, there are naturally the six of them.

So they are the biggest beneficiaries.

The reason Lin Ci didn't directly deal with the Human-Faced Demon Spider earlier was this: he waited until he had squeezed all the spider silk out of it.
