Chapter 49: Seizing Tang San

And if Lin Yu remembered correctly, the Man-Faced Demon Spider that Tang San hunted was right here in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it just so happened to have two thousand years of cultivation, exactly like the one before them!

He wondered if that Man-Faced Demon Spider might just be this very one.

Lin Yu quickly made a decision and said to Dugu Yan: "Yan Yan! If there is a probability that this Man-Faced Demon Spider will produce an external spirit bone, do you want to give it a try?"

"What! An external spirit bone!?"

The expressions of Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing all changed abruptly.

Dugu Yan asked very excitedly: "Lin Yu, is such a possibility really true?"

Her Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul was a poison-type spirit beast, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider was also a poison-type spirit beast; this kind of spirit beast could be considered compatible with her martial soul for absorption.

The main issue was that the age was too low, only two thousand years.

But if it could truly produce an external spirit bone, then the help brought by an external spirit bone would far exceed an extra thousand years of spirit ring age!

"Yes! But I cannot give you an accurate answer or probability. Whether you want to gamble is up to you. I can only say that this is the closest you have ever been to obtaining an external spirit bone!" Lin Yu said with a serious expression.

"Then let's gamble!" Dugu Yan was very bold and immediately made her decision.

If she could truly obtain an external spirit bone, her future potential would be extraordinary!

Her potential and strength would also inevitably undergo a transformation!

"Good! Then we will help you take it down!"

Lin Yu's sharp gaze locked onto the incoming Man-Faced Demon Spider, just as it was about to bite down.

Terrifying flames ignited on Lin Yu's body!

"Fire Fist!!"

Bang! Boom boom!

Lin Yu unleashed a flaming punch.

"Screeeech~!"

The Man-Faced Demon Spider let out a painful screech and was knocked to the ground by the flaming punch on the spot.

"Yan Yan, quickly!"

"Understood!"

Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward to deliver the finishing blow, killing it.

Splat!

Then she sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spirit ring of this Man-Faced Demon Spider.

Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, and Zhu Zhuqing all cast expectant gazes.

Because the way an external spirit bone and a spirit bone explode out are different.

A spirit bone explodes out as a single piece after the spirit beast dies, which can be absorbed by oneself or given to others, but an external spirit bone exists within the spirit ring's energy.

Absorbing the spirit ring also simultaneously fuses the external spirit bone.

Therefore, Lin Yu and the others did not yet know if this Man-Faced Demon Spider would explode with an external spirit bone; everything had to wait until Dugu Yan finished absorbing it.

A moment later.

Dugu Yan's soul power began to surge, breaking through to level 31 in one go.

Then level 32!

Then it broke through to level 33 again!

But it was also at this moment that a painful expression appeared on Dugu Yan's face, and she shrieked: "Ughhh~!"

The next second!

Eight spider legs grew out from Dugu Yan's back, possessing a strong metallic texture; each spider leg resembled a long spear, sharp and keen.

"It exploded! It really exploded!!"

Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, and Lin Shuai were pleasantly surprised.

"The external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances, it really is this one!" A smile also appeared on Lin Yu's face, and he thought to himself: "It seems that in this life, even without me taking action to suppress and sanction him, it will be difficult for Tang San to stir up any major waves."

The Eight Spider Lances could be said to be one of the greatest aids in Tang San's life.

Now that this opportunity had been obtained by Dugu Yan, and with the immortal herb resources also controlled by Lin Yu, Tang San would be half-ruined just by losing these two major opportunities.

Lin Yu said with a smile: "Congratulations, Yan Yan. With this external spirit bone, not only will your strength increase greatly, but you can also completely resolve the backlash poison within your body."

The pleasantly surprised Dugu Yan heard Lin Yu's words and asked with some confusion: "What is it, Lin Yu? Can I completely resolve the backlash poison just by having the Eight Spider Lances?"

"Yes. You can now force the toxins accumulated in your body into the Eight Spider Lances, and then expel them from your body through the Eight Spider Lances. Not only can you completely resolve your backlash poison, but these toxins can also make your Eight Spider Lances even more poisonous!"

"In other words, from today on, the backlash poison will no longer threaten your body, and it will even become one of your greatest assets!"

Spirit bones reside within the body, so toxins can only be forced into the spirit bone, unable to be expelled from the body through it.

That treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

But an external spirit bone is like a limb of the body; it connects to the body and exists outside of it!

Therefore, by forcing the toxins into the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances, you can expel the toxins through the Eight Spider Lances.

Releasing toxins through the Eight Spider Lances not only expels poison but can also utilize the backlash toxins to enhance the Eight Spider Lances' poisonous attacks!

The Eight Spider Lances are a perfect match for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo!

"So that's how it is, I understand!" Dugu Yan was ecstatic. She immediately forced the toxins into the Eight Spider Lances and then drove the Eight Spider Lances to pierce a tree beside her.

Bang!

She really did expel the toxins from the tips of the Eight Spider Lances.

The Eight Spider Lances were already highly poisonous, and combined with the backlash poison from her body, the tree before them was rapidly corroded and rotted by the terrifying double poison!

"What terrifying toxicity!" Qian Renxue's expression tightened.

Dugu Yan's combat power was now extraordinary; if one were to be pierced by her Eight Spider Lances, it would be incredible!

Her strength could definitely leapfrog levels to beat up Soul Ancestors!

"Grandfather was right indeed; as long as I follow by Lin Yu's side, my future might also reach unimaginable heights!" Dugu Yan rejoiced.

Her heart was even more determined to follow Lin Yu well.

"Thank you! Lin Yu!"

Dugu Yan excitedly threw herself into Lin Yu's arms.

Seeing this scene, a cold glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes nearby.

She didn't know why, but seeing Dugu Yan hug Lin Yu made Qian Renxue feel very unhappy inside.

Qian Renxue reached out and pulled Dugu Yan's clothes, forcibly pulling her away, saying: "Alright, now we should hurry and find a spirit ring for Lin Yu."

"Hehe, then let's continue on our way." Lin Yu gave an awkward smile.

The group of five continued on their journey, searching for spirit beasts.

They would go directly deep into the outer area and approach the range of the core area to search.

Finally, after spending nearly ten days, Lin Yu discovered a suitable spirit beast, named the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

It was still a spirit beast that carried both ice and fire attributes.

The age was just over forty thousand years!

"That's the one, let's take action, Sister Xue'er."

"Good!"

The two looked at each other, their fighting spirit rising.

"Yan Yan, you stay here and protect Zhuqing!"

"Let's go!"

"Spirit Possession!"

"Element Angel!"

"Six-Winged Angel!"

The two simultaneously released their Angel martial souls, flapping their wings and killing towards the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

A forty-thousand-year spirit beast's strength was equivalent to a human Soul Sage. Facing an opponent of this level, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue had to go all out from the beginning.

"First Spirit Skill, Element Control!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Element Body!"

"Angel Domain!"

The two went fully into their states.

Under the expansion of Qian Renxue's Angel Domain, the Flame Water Spirit Fox's power was instantly suppressed and weakened.

"Kill!"

The two joined forces and launched an attack simultaneously.

"Second Spirit Skill, Angel Feather!"

Golden energy radiated from Qian Renxue's angel wings, and this energy rapidly condensed into countless hard, sharp feathers like blades.

Then they swept towards the Flame Water Spirit Fox.

Bang bang bang!

The Flame Water Spirit Fox dodged Qian Renxue's spirit skill attacks one by one. While it was dodging, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and immediately switched to his Darkness Main Body.

"Darkness Control, Darkness Cage!"

An iron cage condensed from darkness energy descended from the sky, successfully trapping the opponent on the ground.

Lin Yu immediately switched to his Wind Main Body.

He unleashed a Wind Blade, cutting towards it.

Although it caused some damage, it was not enough to finish off the opponent. It was enraged by Lin Yu, its fox eyes revealing a fierce expression, baring its fangs and crazily biting towards Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, meet it head-on!" Qian Renxue shouted.

Lin Yu instantly understood Qian Renxue's idea, the corners of his mouth lifting: "Got it!"
