Looking around at the terrain, Tang San leaned against a large tree and sat down. He knew that if he wanted to continue searching for Xiao Wu, he had to first recover some of his physical strength.

  He took out a water bag from under the Twenty-Four Bridge on a moonlit night and gulped it down, his body drenched in cold water but feeling nothing.

  His breathing gradually stabilized, Tang San didn't dare to cultivate because no one knew if they would encounter a soul beast. He just wanted to wait for his physical strength to recover a bit before continuing the search.

  Suddenly, a strange sound attracted Tang San's attention.

  The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes, and also like the friction of leaves. As his heart filled with jǐng惕, Tang San slowly stood up, carefully looking in the direction where the sound came from.

  Right after that, he saw the person who made that sound.

  Black, filled Tang San with disgust. This sudden appearance of the guy and before the Titan Ape, the body is also presented as black. However, compared to the Titan Ape, its body was much smaller. But compared to its own kind, it was surprisingly large.

  What appeared in front of Tang San was a spider, with a body diameter of over 1.5 meters and eight long legs that exceeded three meters, a strange giant spider. Its entire body was black and shiny, its long legs were slender at the front end, and every step it took was silent as it pierced into the ground, revealing its sharpness.

  Tang San discovered it, and it seemed to have also discovered Tang San. Eight long legs moved rapidly, even creating a series of afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Tang San. Two of its front legs instantly lifted up, directly stabbing down towards Tang San's head.

  The front leg lifted up, inevitably bringing the body with it, just in time for Tang San to see its abdomen. It was this one glance that allowed Tang San to recognize its species.

  Tang San almost instinctively rolled out of the way, dodging the long-legged spider's attack. However, he couldn't help but take a deep breath in shock, never expecting to encounter it in this place.

  On the spider's abdomen, there were some white stripes that formed a stark contrast with its black body. These white stripes, however, formed a grotesque human face shape. Eight small eyes that shone with a faint purple light were stuck to its abdomen. Only two of the eyes seemed to be smashed by something, with a blurry patch of blood and flesh. Even the shell on its abdomen had several cracks.

  It was nighttime now, and if Tang San didn't have the Purple Extreme Eyes, he really wouldn't be able to see these things.

  Seeing that ferocious face, Tang San thought of many titles for this spider in front of him.

  Nightmare of small soul beasts, existence that devours life, object of hatred for all soul beasts, terrifying evil slaughterer.

  These titles are used to describe the long-legged spider in front of you. Its name is called Human-Faced Demon Spider. In the Soul Beast, it also belongs to a terrifying existence. Of course, compared to the Titan Ape, it's obviously not on the same level. However, this Human-Faced Demon Spider is a creature that even the Soul Beasts fear.

  It has a solid shell, an incredibly fast speed, eight long legs with extremely strong penetration and carrying deadly venom, the most frightening thing is its spider web.

  Ordinary spider webs are made by spitting out silk, but this one is different. Its web is directly sprayed out and not only extremely sticky, but also incredibly resilient. On top of that, it carries a terrifying neurotoxin. Even a soul beast like the Man-faced Demon Spider's first soul ring, the Mandrake Snake, would become nothing more than food in front of this creature.

  At the same time, the Man-faced Demon Spider was also one of Master's guided targets for Tang San's third soul ring. The master had once told him that the Man-faced Demon Spider was the most difficult to obtain and warned him not to force it. Because encountering a Man-faced Demon Spider, even with a powerful Soul Master holding down the fort nearby, could still be very dangerous.

  The web spewed by the human-faced spider is not only instantaneous, but also covers an area ten times its own size, making it almost impossible to dodge. Even a powerful soul master would need time to break free after being covered, and this time is enough for it to do many things.

  Tang San did not expect to encounter a human-faced demon spider in this situation. Judging from its appearance, it had clearly surpassed the thousand-year cultivation mark. A human-faced demon spider's web could be sprayed three times a day. Generally speaking, when it saw prey for the first time, its first action was always to spray webs. However, at this moment, it was relying on its long legs to attack. Adding to that the injury on its abdomen, this made Tang San think of a possibility: This human-faced demon spider had already used up all its web sprays for today.

  Facing a fully-powered Human-Faced Spider, Tang San knew he wouldn't have any chance, but if it was an injured one, that might be a different story. After all, the Human-Faced Spider's weakness was quite obvious - its eight eyes. It couldn't compare to the previous Forest King. If he could kill the Human-Faced Spider in front of him and absorb the soul ring it formed, then he could almost certainly restore his physical condition to its best state immediately, and his strength would also increase somewhat. Finding Xiao Wu would naturally become easier too.

  These thoughts flashed through Tang San's mind in the instant he was sent flying. As he flipped himself back up, Blue Silver Grass's binding skill had already been activated, and countless thick blades of grass suddenly wrapped around the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body.

  Tang San knew that with the power of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, breaking open his Blue Silver Grass bindings would be no problem. The paralyzing toxin on the Blue Silver Grass had no effect on it, as it was itself a highly toxic substance. Apart from its neurotoxin, the Man-Faced Demon Spider also possessed corrosive poison. That's why it was so overbearing. These were all things that Tang San hoped would appear on his own Blue Silver Grass. Therefore, obtaining this soul ring was extremely important to him.

  He sprang to his feet, and in Tang San's left hand appeared a black box. His right hand quickly manipulated the black box, producing a series of mechanical sounds.

  The Human-Faced Spider's movements were even faster than Tang San had imagined, the Blue Silver Grass's restraint had clearly enraged it. A layer of purple light spread out from its body and the Blue Silver Grass attached to it suddenly melted away. Or rather, corroded.

  When the Blue Silver Grass had corroded to a certain extent, the Human-Faced Spider broke free without any hindrance and pounced towards Tang San once again. This time, its four front legs were raised high, clearly intending to deliver a fatal blow to Tang San.

  Tang San looked at the Man-Faced Demon Spider with an extremely calm expression. His right hand swiftly swept across his waist, and dozens of white lights shot out simultaneously, heading straight for the eyes on the lower abdomen of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

  As expected, the Man-Faced Demon Spider took its own safety extremely seriously. With two of its eyes already severely damaged, it didn't dare to attack Tang San again. It quickly crawled along the ground, its shell being hit by hidden weapons, producing a string of sparks. At this time, Tang San finally completed the mechanism on the black box in his hand.

  Tang San was now completely certain that the human-faced spider in front of him had already used up all the web it could spit out today. A thousand-year-old human-faced spider could only spit out three webs a day, unless it reached the level of ten-thousand-year cultivation, otherwise this number would not increase. Moreover, since it was already injured, Tang San was even more certain of his guess. Otherwise, with the violent nature of the human-faced spider, when faced with Tang San's provocation, it should have already spit out its web instead of using its long legs to attack like now.

  The Man-Faced Demon Spider had been thoroughly enraged by Tang San, and after blocking the hidden weapons, the purple light that had previously corroded the Blue Silver Grass reappeared. Before it even approached, a pungent smell that made one want to vomit was already transmitted over.

  But at this time, Tang San did not retreat again. As he watched the fast-moving eight-legged spider pounce over, he instead went forward to meet it.

  The black box with the completed machine setting was handed over to his right hand, and a small black hammer with strange flower patterns appeared silently in his left hand. Faced with the crisis of life and death, Tang San finally took out his second martial soul.

  Although there were no soul ring skills attached to this second hammer, as Tang San's soul power increased, its weight also continued to increase. The hammer itself didn't look much different, but the weight of this small hammer had already reached a terrifying five hundred kilograms.

  Tang San knew that he only had one chance. With his current physical strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to outrun the Human-Faced Spider. Escaping was not an option.

  And directly using hidden weapons to attack, even the intimidating appearance of the human-faced spider demon couldn't cause him real harm.

  After all, even the most powerful hidden weapons require a strong inner power to support them, and Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong had only just begun to show some small accomplishments, but was still far from being thick and heavy.

  Dark light flashed, Tang San's body suddenly stopped in its tracks, while the Man-Faced Demon Spider's four front legs were already raised again. This time, it was even faster, with long legs that had attached to them a purple glow filled with corrosive xìng. Adding to this was its own jīng divine paralyzing toxin. Not to mention being directly stung, even if just a little bit of the toxin came into contact with Tang San, it would be enough to be fatal.

  As an evil slaughterer, the human-faced demon spider has swallowed countless soul beasts and soul masters who ventured deep into the Starry Sky Great Forest using this method. The six small eyes remaining under its abdomen were now flickering with a faint glow.

  At that moment when the four three-meter-long spider legs descended like steel spears, Tang San moved.

  It was his left hand, which had concentrated all of Tang San's current thirty levels of soul power, that instantly injected soul power into the small black hammer.

  In an instant, the small black hammer in his hand grew twice as large, and the patterns on it suddenly became clear, shining with a dark blue light.
