Chapter 1434: Demon Spider Vanguard

Under the surprised gazes of the few, the demon spider obediently crouched in front of Ye Liuyun, letting him inspect its wound.

Ye Liuyun immediately released his Demon Qi, helping it heal, and crushed a healing pill, sprinkling it into its wound.

"Ha ha, this guy must have fought enough and tamed that demon spider!" Meng Zhangxing laughed.

"Probably he liked that hard shell!" Guo Da laughed, beginning to dismantle the Defense Array.

"He can also tame beasts?" Luo Yun was even more surprised.

"Otherwise? Where do you think his ferocious beasts came from!" Meng Zhangxing said with a grin.

"But the speed of taming is too fast! Isn't it said a beastmaster needs at least a month or two to tame a ferocious beast?" Luo Yun asked, puzzled.

"That's someone else! Our Liuyun, is he an ordinary person?" Meng Zhangxing laughed loudly, walking toward Ye Liuyun.

The demon spider sensed movement and immediately tried to rise.

"You're one of us, don't be nervous!" Ye Liuyun instantly soothed it, letting it continue healing.

Meng Zhangxing walked over, patted the demon spider's hard shell, tapped the Demon Race's blade limbs, then praised, "Good eye, let them serve as our vanguard!"

"Indeed! That's what I think too!" Ye Liuyun smiled.

"Now we can take it easy! It's just that these demon spiders' realms are too low, they can't go far!" Guo Da added.

"They go as far as they can! If they die, we'll keep their hard shells!" Ye Liuyun said.

Luo Yun looked at the demon spiders and still felt frightened.

So she stayed far away, handling the dead demon spiders on the ground.

"Make alchemy with these demon spiders' core pills for me?" Luo Yun asked.

However, the Tianzun Realm demon spider, seeing Luo Yun go to collect the bodies, grew frantic, leapt up and rushed to stop her.

"Don't move!" Ye Liuyun shouted, halting both the demon spider and Luo Yun.

He told Luo Yun, "Don't make alchemy yet; let them eat it themselves! Consuming their own kind's corpses can raise their realm!"

Luo Yun was also startled by the demon spider. Hearing Ye Liuyun's explanation, she had to give up.

"Oh, fine then!"

"No worries, I'll keep the best demon spider core pill for you!" Ye Liuyun comforted her.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun finally let the demon spiders go and devour the corpses.

A few stood aside, watching the demon spiders crack—crack— as they gnawed their own kind.

Suddenly, the Demon Race's Demon Qi at the Tianzun Realm fluctuated, and it actually broke straight through to the Tianzun Second Realm.

Then, other demon spiders also had breakthroughs, but unfortunately none reached the Tianzun Realm.

The dead demon spiders on the ground were quickly devoured completely.

The Tianzun Second Realm demon spider's injuries recovered seventy to eighty percent, its shell rejoined, and the rest could heal as it moved.

Thus, Ye Liuyun let those demon spiders act as vanguard, scouting ahead for them.

When encountering such a large swarm of demon spiders, ordinary ferocious beasts tend to avoid them.

Unfortunately, shortly after setting out, they ran into a snake swarm.

It turned out the territories of these demon spiders and the snake swarm were adjacent, and the two sides often fought, preying on each other.

But the snake swarm outnumbered the demon spiders, so the spiders could never eradicate the snakes.

This time, the demon spiders feared crossing the snake swarm. So before the snakes' lair, they all halted, crouching and refusing to advance.

When the snake swarm noticed the spider incursion, they poured out en masse. Over two hundred gray giant snakes filled the ground and trees.

"Don't worry, I'll handle the Tianzun Second Realm Snake King; you all take your time killing the rest!" Ye Liuyun communicated with the Tianzun demon spider via Divine Sense.

With that, the demon spider stood up again, but kept watching Ye Liuyun, as if waiting for him to act first before they dared to attack.

"Coward!" Ye Liuyun laughed helplessly and drew the Demon Slaying Sword.

He instantly used spatial power, flashing behind the Snake King.

The Snake King's sensing was also strong, and it immediately turned and opened its mouth to strike.

Ye Liuyun again employed spatial power, imprisoning it. As it struggled, he sliced its head off with a single strike.

"Isn't he at the Earth Sovereign Realm? How is he dealing with a Tianzun Realm beast so easily?" Luo Yun asked, puzzled.

"Cross-realm combat, haven't you heard of it?" Meng Zhangxing asked disdainfully.

"I've heard of it! But have you ever seen an Earth Sovereign kill a Tianzun so effortlessly?" Luo Yun retorted.

"Uh… that's exactly what we saw!" Meng Zhangxing thought, noting they'd only ever seen someone like Ye Liuyun.

"His blade intent, spatial power, and Divine Soul Power far surpass even early-stage Tianzun warriors!" Guo Da explained why Ye Liuyun could easily defeat a Tianzun Realm beast.

Meng Zhangxing and Luo Yun both nodded in agreement.

"I used to think I was the main combatant in the team! After he arrived, there's no room for me in the front lines!" Meng Zhangxing sighed.

"So you're useless now?" Luo Yun looked at Meng Zhangxing with ill intent.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm terrified! Though I'm not a front-line fighter, I have plenty of exploration experience! At least I can provide you with information!" Meng Zhangxing quickly explained.

Luo Yun smiled, "Fine, we'll keep you for now!"

"Thanks for sparing me, madam!" Meng Zhangxing blinked.

The few of them laughed and chatted within Guo Da's Formation, feeling very relaxed.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun led the demon spiders in exterminating the group.

Without the Snake King's deterrence, the Tianzun Realm demon spiders were nearly invincible, wielding eight blade‑legs simultaneously, crack—crack— slicing the gray.

The other demon spiders also surged forward, tangled with the snake swarm. Some sliced the gray into pieces; others were ensnared, bursting their shells.

Both sides fought merrily; seven demon spiders were wiped out, yet they ultimately won. After all, the realm determines the outcome.

Ye Liuyun collected half of the snake swarm's corpses, leaving the other half for the demon spiders as a reward for their battle.

After the demon spiders finished eating, they rested a while, letting the spiders restore some True Essence, and then the group continued onward.

Next, whenever they encountered ferocious beasts several times, they were all dealt with directly by the demon spider swarming over them. If a ferocious beast of high realm tried to flee, Ye Liuyun would directly use Spiritual Soul Attack.

Only when they encountered two fox-wolves did they truly meet a formidable opponent.

The realm of those two fox-wolves was Heavenly Venerable Triple.

But the demon spider swarm could only handle one of them.

"One each!" Ye Liuyun and the demon spiders divided the work.
