Chapter 55: Medusa, Queen of Snakes, and the Demon Basket of the Underworld Emperor, Descendant of the God of Death (Part 1)
"Of course, everyone needs to know their own limitations, and the guards should not do anything presumptuous."
Ling Bai looked normal, but the hidden meaning in his words made She Chong a little annoyed. He stared at Ling Bai's face and said contemptuously:
"Hide your head and show your tail."
After that, he took the food presented by the shopkeeper respectfully upstairs.
She Chong was an eight-ring soul douluo, so he naturally found that Ling Bai was wearing an ice silkworm mask, but he could only see that Ling Bai's appearance at the moment was a little weird, just like seeing a person who had plastic surgery in the future, knowing that he had plastic surgery, but not knowing what he looked like before.
"What a pity..."
Ling Bai shook his head. Whether from the perspective of himself or the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, it was obviously more beneficial than harmful to befriend Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire. If She Chong hadn't been on guard, this would have been a great opportunity.
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, let's finish the assessment task first."
...
Early the next morning, Ling Bai stepped into the dawn and greeted the cold frost. He officially entered the territory of the Dark Forest. The fresh air mixed with the fragrance of plants was refreshing. The line of chaos stopped at the boundary between light and darkness.
The most difficult part of the red-level mission is not the powerful strength of the Snake King itself, nor is it the capture of the snake king, which is several times more difficult than killing it, but finding the ten thousand year old Medusa in the huge Dark Forest.
This is also one of the reasons why Ling Bai decided to give up the six-winged angel and use the Death Hell Spider King.
"Summon the Demon Spider."
As Ling Bai's soul power surged, pairs of scarlet beast eyes lit up, and small demon spiders with fangs exposed gathered densely, waiting for Ling Bai to give them orders.
"Go find Medusa and the petrified soul beast."
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The demon spiders scattered as ordered, and Ling Bai advanced along the Chaos Line. The scenery of the Dark Forest was really unique. Compared with the Star Forest, it was completely different. One side was warm like a fairyland, and the other side was dark like a demon cave. Light and darkness were in opposition to each other, and neither gave in.
Ling Bai had read the ancient books that recorded the Dark Forest. It was said that this place was originally a normal soul beast forest until two fierce beasts that exceeded the level of 100,000 years were born. The two fierce beasts, one light and one dark, regarded each other as mortal enemies. Due to the influence of their power, the soul beast forest gradually turned into the Dark Forest.
The Snake King Medusa likes darkness and should not live in the eternal day. Therefore, Ling Bai's main target is the Chaos Line and the Eternal Night area. Just in case, he left 10% of the demon spiders to explore the eternal day.
The demon spiders in all directions in his mind kept feeding back information, and the Spider King Induction of the three ultimate talents of the Death Hell Spider King was activated simultaneously. Every time Ling Bai raised his foot and took a step, the spider web-like ripples spread rapidly, capturing every subtle change in the Dark Forest.
Relying on the Spider King Induction to predict danger in advance, Ling Bai took the initiative to avoid most troublesome soul beasts, and only took action to solve them when they were unavoidable. He always ensured that his soul power was full, and maintained a slow and even speed to carefully turn around in the Dark Forest for most of the day.
"Alas, Medusa..."
The Dark Forest does not distinguish between day and night. Ordinary people will gradually lose their sense of time if they stay there for a long time. After a whole day without any gains, Ling Bai's heart inevitably rose a little anxious, but the more anxious he was, the calmer he should be. He stopped under a towering ancient tree and took out the meat buns made by Uncle Mo from the Shrek Inner Courtyard Canteen. The slowly rising temperature in his palm made the buns emit a rich aroma again.
Just after taking two bites of the bun, Ling Bai suddenly stepped on the tree trunk to take advantage of the force and flew into the air. The next second, sharp black spikes rose from the ground. His body turned and moved several times, but the black spikes were like maggots attached to his bones, and he would not stop until he killed Ling Bai!
An extremely large spider pounced on Ling Bai. Its body was much larger than an ordinary round table, with a diameter of more than three meters. Its dark shell was covered with gray lines, and its abdomen was huge and bulging, storing a huge amount of spider silk.
Cunning assassin, the Crypt Demon Spider!
The Crypt Demon Spider and the Human-Faced Demon Spider are known as the leaders of spider-like soul beasts, but the body of the Crypt Demon Spider is far less strong and brutal than that of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and it does not have the neurotoxic poison that kills people with blood. It is best at traps, sneak attacks, and ambushes!
Looking at the Crypt Demon Spider that was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, Ling Bai couldn't help but laugh. What kind of world is this? Either the Death Spider King or the Soul Devouring Spider King can completely defeat the Crypt Demon Spider. How dare this Crypt Demon Spider with 5,000 years of cultivation sneak attack the Death Hell Spider King that was formed by the fusion of the two Spider Kings! ?
Ling Bai simply landed directly and waited quietly for the Crypt Demon Spider to play tricks.
The Crypt Demon Spider would not miss this opportunity. Black light flashed on the ground, and countless spider silks emerged from the ground, instantly suppressing Ling Bai's body, like a closed cage woven by a spider web, trapping Ling Bai tightly inside.
This time, the spider silk of the Crypt Demon Spider became thicker and tougher than the black spikes released previously. The spider web was accompanied by a special mucus secreted by the Crypt Demon Spider's body, which condensed when it encountered wind. The spider web instantly became as hard as a thousand-forged steel, truly forming an unbreakable prison!
Innate soul skill, spider web cage!
The Subterranean Demon Spider will leave a miniature spider web around its body, and can activate the spider web to turn it into a cage at any time. There is no warning when the spider web cage is activated. No matter how powerful a soul master is, there is a chance that he will be caught off guard!
The spider web cage succeeded, and the eight little blue eyes under the belly of the underground demon spider revealed a bloodthirsty light in a humanized way. The eight long legs folded and unfolded several times and crawled in front of Ling Bai. Then, the underground demon spider saw the most terrifying scene in its five thousand years!
Behind the human soul master who looked like a little lamb, a towering, evil, and treacherous demon spider phantom rose. The eight scarlet pupils seemed to hide a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Just a little breath emitted made the underground demon spider sore all over, and there was an instinctive impulse to bow down!
"Squeak... Squeak..."
The underground demon spider was limp like a pool of mud. The pressure of the spider emperor of the Death Hell Spider made it sluggish and its soul power dissipated. If it were a human at this moment, it would probably have rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth.
The terrifying toxin of the Death Hell Spider Emperor was even higher than that of the Death Spider Emperor. Ling Bai gently touched the cage, and the spider web that the underground demon spider was proud of suddenly turned into a foul-smelling poisonous water.
A soul force rushed into the body of the underground spider. The spider rolled and struggled for a few seconds before falling into a still state. A circle of soul rings emitting a faint purple light floated in the air. The eyes of the Death Hell Spider Emperor's phantom lit up. Flesh, soul, and soul rings were all food. It seemed that it wanted to break through Ling Bai's restraints and have a full meal.
Today is different from the past. After the soul of Alex was in charge and absorbed the power of the golden tree for three months, Ling Bai could easily control the Death Hell Spider Emperor. Under the unwilling will of the other party, he took it back forcefully.
"Call it and it will go away. This is a good martial soul." Ling Bai smiled with satisfaction, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, "Huh? There are petrified soul beasts!"
A demon spider found a large number of petrified soul beasts at a straight distance of about 8,000 meters. It is very likely to be the lair of Medusa!
At the same time, the demon spiders in the Eternal Day area made some discoveries!
It actually met Xu Jiujiu and She Chong, who were chasing a ten-thousand-year-old light-type soul beast. Judging from the escape route of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, they happened to be running towards the direction of the petrified soul beast!
