Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

At this moment, fluid was still seeping from the wound on the spider's abdomen.

A fishy, ​​foul smell permeated the air.

"A heavily injured two-thousand-year-old soul beast..."

Wang Teng gripped the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand, muttering to himself, "I wonder if my current skill level is enough to kill this soul beast like Tang San in the original story."

The top spun slowly beside Wang Teng, its blue halo flickering intermittently.

In the distance, the human-faced spider began to move.

The spider's seven intact legs supported its body, while the side with the severed leg dragged its body on the ground, leaving a crooked trail.

It wasn't fast, but its ferocity was extremely strong.

Perhaps seeing Tang San leave and realizing that Wang Teng's strength wasn't that great, the human-faced spider became much more ferocious.

Eight small, purplish eyes stared intently at Wang Teng, hissing as they spoke.

At this moment, Wang Teng did not rush forward.

Instead, he quickly took a few steps back to create some distance.

At the same time, Wang Teng had a thought, and the Gale Steed Spinning Top spun half a circle on the ground before pouncing on it again.

There's no need to confront this thing head-on.

Just kite and attack from a distance.

The spinning top traced an arc on the ground, sometimes rushing forward, sometimes turning around, always maintaining a distance of five or six zhang from the human-faced spider.

The Gale Steed spinning top was incredibly fast and agile, each strike accompanied by a whooshing sound, leaving a new wound on the spider.

The spider webs of the human-faced spider were spraying frequently, one clump after another covering the sky.

However, the top dodged left and right, but managed not to get hit even once.

Several spiderwebs, having failed to reach the branches, clung to them, bending the entire branches under their weight.

Meanwhile, Wang Teng himself was also busy.

He kept moving, observing the spider's movements and adjusting his position.

He held the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow that Tang San had given him in his hand, but he wasn't in a hurry to use it.

After all, these arrows are limited, so it's good to keep them just in case they come in handy.

Before long, the human-faced spider became anxious.

It took a deep breath, its abdomen swelled up, and then with a "poof," a huge swarm of spider webs shot out, covering an area more than twice the size of the previous one.

Wang Teng took several steps back.

The top suddenly stopped in mid-air, then spun higher, barely grazing the edge of the spider web.

"Ultimate move: Phantom Chasing Wind".

As soon as he finished speaking, the speed of the spinning top suddenly increased.

A blue whirlwind condensed and took shape around it, enveloping the entire top in a spinning light and shadow.

The spinning top used the surrounding trees to climb up the tree trunk.

Then, it swoops down from above, leaving a long trail, and weaves back and forth around the spider.

As the top spun, the whirlwind around it rose up, cutting across the spider's carapace like blades, leaving fine cracks.

The spider, in pain, frantically waved its remaining legs, trying to knock the damned top off.

But the top was too fast; each time it would just glide past the edge of its attack before spinning around and striking again.

Wang Teng stood fifty meters away, watching this scene unfold.

almost.

He took a deep breath, and the effect of his first soul skill began to weaken, while the spinning top's attack also slowed down.

But Wang Teng didn't stop. With a thought, his second spirit ring lit up.

A crimson light spread out from around Wang Teng.

"Second Soul Skill: Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top"

A ball of fire gathered in front of him and gradually took shape.

It was a spinning top engulfed in flames, its rotation generating scorching air currents, with the phantom of a Crimson Flame Bird appearing above it, its wings spread and surrounded by flames.

The new spinning top flew out.

As soon as it entered the venue, the air became hot and dry.

Unlike the Gale Steed, the Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top didn't wander back and forth; instead, it hovered directly above the spider, spinning and creating spiraling fire tornadoes.

Faced with the attack of the Crimson Flame Bird Spinning Top, the Human-Faced Spider tilted its head back and spat out a mouthful of spider web.

The spiderweb was no longer white, but rather a purplish-black color.

Clearly, the spider web of the human-faced spider is special.

Unfortunately, Wang Teng's flames were no ordinary flames either.

The spider web caught fire with a hiss the moment it touched the edge of the fire tornado.

The spider web, and the toxins within it, were all reduced to ashes by the flames, scattering throughout the surrounding dense forest.

Ultimate move: Celestial Fox Flame.

The Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top shuddered violently, and the surrounding flames instantly surged.

The fire tornado expanded, turning from one to three, trapping the spider in the middle.

Flames licked its carapace, and the hard exoskeleton began to blacken and crack, with more purplish-green fluid seeping from the cracks, which was evaporated by the high temperature before it could flow down.

At this moment, the human-faced spider was completely thrown into chaos.

It struggled to break free of the ring of fire, but every time it moved, the fire tornado would close in and force it back.

Its spiderwebs, venom, and even its waving limbs were all useless against the 'evil fire' of the Crimson Flame Bird Spinning Top.

The flames burned for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea.

The human-faced spider finally stopped moving, lying on the ground with only its abdomen rising and falling slightly.

The carapace was charred over a large area, and in some places the scorched soft tissue underneath could even be seen.

Of its eight eyes, six are now closed, and the remaining two are dull and lifeless, occasionally blinking with a look of exhaustion and despair.

However, facing the incapacitated human-faced spider, Wang Teng did not continue his attack.

He watched the spider from afar, and with a thought, the Crimson Flame Divine Bird Spinning Top retracted into his body.

The Swift Wind Steed Spinning Top also retreated, slowly spinning beside him.

"Get lost."

Wang Teng waved his hand, intending to release the human-faced spider.

Although in the original story, this human-faced spider allowed Tang San to obtain an external soul bone.

However, as mentioned before, external soul bones can only enter a soul master's body along with the soul ring.

However, Wang Teng was not yet level 30 and was unable to absorb the external soul bone.

Therefore, Wang Teng planned to let the spider go for the time being, and then take its life when he obtained his third soul ring.

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the human-faced spider struggled a few times before slowly propping itself up.

It glanced at the figure standing in the distance, then at the two spinning tops in the sky, hesitated for a few moments, and then dragged its broken body into the depths of the forest.

The human-faced spider was moving at a pitifully slow pace, having to rest after only a few steps, leaving a long trail of blood and scorch marks behind it.

Wang Teng didn't chase after him.

He waited until the spider had walked twenty or thirty feet away before quietly following it.

Tracking is something that's neither particularly difficult nor easy.

Fortunately, the spider is not in good condition right now, so it crawls slowly and leaves obvious traces: broken grass stems, rubbed bark, and bodily fluids along the way, making it hard to lose track of.

Wang Teng maintained a sufficient distance to ensure he wouldn't be detected, while still being able to catch glimpses of the moving shadow from time to time.

And so, more than half an hour passed.

Chapter 168 The Fat Man is Poisoned

Nighttime, in the Starry Sky Forest.

The woods grew darker and darker, and the moonlight could barely penetrate.

Wang Teng walked and stopped intermittently, his eyes fixed on the human-faced spider in front of him.

Finally, on the back of a hillside, he saw the human-faced spider burrow into a cave.

The entrance to the cave was small, hidden by a few rocks and dense bushes. If Wang Teng hadn't watched it go in, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

There was a layer of grayish-white stuff around the edge of the hole, which was probably the residue of dried spider web.

Wang Teng squatted at a distance and observed for the full time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

There was no other movement at the entrance of the hole, and no other spiders went in or out.

This seems to be its lair.

Wang Teng slowly retreated to a safe distance, then took out a map from his pocket.

A simple map of the Starry Sky Forest, the paper is already a bit wrinkled.

Wang Teng used the moonlight to determine his location and then looked at the surrounding terrain features.

That crooked tree, that boulder that looks like a human face, that dried-up creek.

He memorized all the terrain features, then circled them on the map with charcoal and marked them with a few words:

"The nest of the human-faced spider."

"I will come back again after I reach level 30 to retrieve my external soul bone."
