Under Bai Pu’s spiritual power detection, he discovered that the thing piercing through the big tree turned out to be a thin, fine...
Spider silk!
The spider silk was extrely elastic, quickly tightening.
Just like Spider-Man in movies from the Common Era, a shadow swiftly and effortlessly pulled along, crouching with a thud among the tree branches.
The upper body was a beautiful, eerily naked female form.
The lower body was a plump spider nest and sharp spider claws.
It was like forcibly grafting a beautiful woman with a giant spider, filled with a bizarre, uncanny sensation.
Bai Pu imdiately activated the skill of "Kan Ze’s Headscarf": Nine Chapters.
[Nine Chapters: Uses nurology calculation to probe the target. The higher the wearer’s spiritual power, the more accurate the probing results.]
On the demon’s body surface, obscure nurology symbols and seal scripts flashed by, and a translucent data fra quickly unfolded before Bai Pu’s eyes.
[Demon Spider Lady (Elite Level 3)]
[Species: Demon Species/Half-Demon Race]
[Attributes: Power 14, Agility 33, Endurance 18, Spirit 10]
[Skills 1-3: Demonized Spider Silk, ???, ???]
Bai Pu was very grateful to the Overlord. The detection ability of [Nine Chapters] was quite good, and the greatest advantage was the absence of cooldown limits.
However, Bai Pu also felt his temple throb slightly, his spiritual power instantly consuming 3 points.
Approximately because [Nine Chapters] relies on so-called nurology calculation for probing, and the spiritual power needed for nurology calculation naturally has to be provided by Bai Pu as the wearer.
Fortunately, the headscarf’s other accompanying skill, [Circulation], could recover 1 point of spiritual power additionally per minute, otherwise Bai Pu couldn’t withstand such consumption.
Just then, the Demon Spider Lady had already launched her attack! She raised her head, opened her mouth, and a fierce spider silk shot toward him, vaguely visible with a fine ripple of qi force slicing through the air.
Bang!
Bai Pu rely shrugged his shoulder slightly, taking this hit with his shoulder. His agility was far inferior to the Demon Spider Lady’s, making complete evasion almost impossible.
Yet, as he took the solid hit, Bai Pu had also activated [Scaly Skin].
The Demon Spider Lady’s spider silk spray didn’t pierce Bai Pu’s shoulder but drove straight into the bone, causing 25 points of sharp damage.
But the spider silk was sticky, adhering tightly to Bai Pu’s shoulder!
Following was the spider silk retracting.
Bai Pu felt a strong suction coming from the Demon Spider Lady; she intended to drag him over!
Judging by the vicious open mouth on her abdon, she was probably ready to treat him as a buffet al!
Yet the Demon Spider Lady got two things wrong.
First, Bai Pu’s power value was as high as 29 points, with the additional value from [Strong Power], the power determination reached a whopping 39 points! Far surpassing the Demon Spider Lady’s own 14 points of power.
Second, Bai Pu possessed the tank profession’s characteristic passive skill—[Heavy Armor Mastery]! For effects like knockback or body balance disruption, he had strong resistance!
Thus, the result wasn’t Bai Pu being dragged over.
But rather the Demon Spider Lady herself being pulled over!
Enduring a solid hit from [Demonized Spider Silk], Bai Pu maintained his composure, raising his long saber in both hands, a blade shining brightly chopping down fiercely!
The Demon Spider Lady bit off the spider silk, barely braking, the blade edge only a few inches from her forehead.
Yet before the Demon Spider Lady could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the long saber in Bai Pu’s hand bursting forth with three slightly smaller bright lights!
Weapon accompanying skill: Gale activated.
A triple slash in an instant!
Blood rage soaring!
Bai Pu’s current power was already comparable to a power-type elite of the sa level. Slashing against the Demon Spider Lady’s body was akin to a giant axe or great halberd.
The first blade broke through the defense, the second slash penetrated the flesh, the third slash straight up cleaved one section of the Demon Spider Lady’s spider leg right off!
Back when he slayed the Mother of Jiang Tuo, Bai Pu already felt the formidable aspect of [Gale]’s triple slashes, since they were delivered simultaneously, greatly likely to land on the sa spot!
Though the single blade damage was only 60% of full damage, yet the triple slashes obviously added up together, calculated as single-ti damage! High single-ti damage had a high probability of causing a crippling effect.
The Demon Spider Lady roared in agony, lifting another spider leg high, continuously stabbing like a long spear, even leaving phantoms in the air!
It was an unprobed skill: Phantom Claw!
Bai Pu’s response was: to endure.
Duo duo duo duo!
The spider legs on Bai Pu’s chest created shallow dents, and the Phantom Claw simultaneously erupted with multiple damages, each strike evidently incomparable to the ordinary piercing of the spider legs.
This damage was significantly mitigated by [Scaly Skin], and further reduced by the natural armor from Bai Pu’s 26 points of endurance and the extra armor from the standard armor! Ultimately, each strike only dealt two or three points of damage.
The abdon of the Demon Spider Lady, originally protected by two spider legs, was now completely exposed.
Bai Pu seized this opportunity, gripping the saber with both hands and slashing it horizontally! The tip of the saber pierced into the venomous mouthparts of the Demon Spider Lady’s abdon, with two-thirds of the blade sinking in!
A sharp, deafening scream echoed, while a terrifying number — 108 — erged above the Demon Spider Lady’s head!
Pale green fluid gushed out violently, dripping like beads from the crossguard of the long saber.
"You stab ten tis, I cut you once."
Bai Pu ignored the Demon Spider Lady’s frenzied bites, gripping the saber hilt with both hands, twisting it ninety degrees, and then pulling sharply to the side!
Green blood spurted out, leaving a grueso wound on the Demon Spider Lady’s abdon, with greenish innards and intestines oozing out with bodily fluids.
The Demon Spider Lady’s life value plumted to the bottom in an instant. How much life could an agility-type demon possess?
Yet, the demon evidently had strong vitality. Her spider legs clawed at the ground, attempting to seal her wound with soil covered in humus.
This was a survival instinct.
Bai Pu’s heart stirred slightly, and he extended his fingers to hook onto the smooth chin of the Demon Spider Lady.
The Demon Spider Lady tilted her face up, looking pitifully at Bai Pu. Using a beautiful face to confuse travelers was her usual trick.
"Do you want... to survive? Beco my slave then!"
Bai Pu’s fingers abruptly thrust into the Demon Spider Lady’s mouth, injecting pure blood!
Bai Pu chose to control the Demon Spider Lady, sacrificing rely a blue treasure chest from a Level 3 Elite, at most a piece of blue armor, as an early investnt.
The Demon Spider Lady let out a sharp hiss, clearly unwilling to succumb.
Yet her resistance was futile, as Bai Pu, possessing the Enhanced Elite Template, naturally suppressed her with his template, and his level was not lower than hers!
[You have controlled the Demon Spider Lady, making her your slave.]
[This slave lacks complete logical thinking ability and only harbors a craving for consuming flesh. You can choose: 1, release the influence of evolutionary instinct, completely destroying this slave’s craving for flesh, turning her into a mutant. 2, Suppress the influence of evolutionary instinct, retaining her craving for flesh. If you do so, she will not mutate.]
Choosing the first option would obviously an fully taming the Demon Spider Lady, modifying her and taking her to the main city. In the eyes of the natives, Bai Pu would be seen as a Demon Control Master-type profession for taming demons.
But Bai Pu chose the second option, keeping the Demon Spider Lady’s craving for flesh!
After Bai Pu made his choice, the Demon Spider Lady’s body showed no change, but her gaze towards Bai Pu was filled with deep awe. Even that severely injured mouthpiece was carefully tucked into her abdon.
It was like a fierce tiger suddenly seeing the beast tar who had beaten it since childhood coming with an iron rod, imdiately hiding its claws and fangs and lying on its back to show its harmlessness.
Bai Pu allocated 7 attribute points to the agility of the Demon Spider Lady, instantly making her spider legs longer and sturdier, with the nails at the tips shimring with a tallic cold sheen.
Suddenly, a ssage from the Spirit Realm Will arrived:
[Based on your hidden title: Limit Breaker, your slave, the Demon Spider Lady, has received a bonus: All combat specializations and combat skills 1]
[Currently, the Demon Spider Lady’s Fighting Specialization has been upgraded to Advanced Level 4, and her main skill: Demonized Spider Silk has been upgraded to Level 4. Please select a Level 4 enhancent effect.]
The bonus from the Limit Breaker not only affected Bai Pu himself but also strengthened his slaves.
Bai Pu browsed through briefly and selected two Level 4 enhancent effects.
[Advanced Fighting Specialization Level 4 Effect: Piercing Fist: Increases the strike speed of your light hand-to-hand attacks by 10.]
The Demon Spider Lady’s spider legs are evidently considered hand-to-hand attacks, and although the tips of her spider legs have a layer of nacing tallic-looking scaly spikes, they are undeniably part of her body, no different from a human’s fists or nails.
[Demonized Spider Silk Level 4 Effect: Perception Net: The Demon Spider Lady gains a new type of perception-based slender spider silk, weaving a wide-ranging perception net capable of accurately sensing live entities adhering to the slender silk.]
The Perception Net effect is mainly used for reconnaissance.
Bai Pu understands his weaknesses; as a lone wolf, he lacks the wide-range perception ability of a Spiritual Talent user!
Bai Pu has a strong mistrust of others and dislikes teaming up, so he must rely on the abilities of his slaves to compensate.
Bai Pu took out a box of Ergency First Aid Ointnt and applied it to the side of the Demon Spider Lady’s abdon.
This was a mutated hemostatic drug from the Three Kingdoms Plane with a potency of 2.4, imdiately stopping the bleeding effect on the Demon Spider Lady and gradually restoring her near-death life value.
It’s not that the Ergency First Aid Ointnt’s effect is overwhelmingly strong, but as a demon, the Demon Spider Lady already possesses strong regenerative and recovery abilities, making the ointnt’s effect an added benefit.
Next ca communication, as the Demon Spider Lady’s intelligence was very low, barely able to speak properly. However, through Bai Pu’s patient explanation and gestures, he managed to learn from her about the direction to the nearest human main city—Wangbei City, and the location of the Demon Camp’s territory—Black Swamp.
"Hide in the mountains and forests, acting on primitive instincts... When I need you, I will summon you with the sense of Source Blood!"
After leaving these words, Bai Pu shouldered the headless corpse on the ground and walked straight toward Wangbei City. The Demon Spider Lady limped back into the forest only after Bai Pu’s silhouette disappeared.
