Chapter 483: Following the Internet Cable
Traveling the world is a key feature, crashes are inevitable and should not be missed.
It could be a stroke of luck, encountering a great opportunity, finding a secret book, saving a woman, gaining the favor of a master. Even if one’s abilities are average, they can become a great hero, like Guo Jing.
It could also be a result of scheming, ending up with a setback or even losing one’s life due to a small incident or an unexpected accident. It’s possible to be targeted by evil people even if one hasn’t done anything wrong, being played with and killed by them.
The world is like a card pool, without doing ten pulls or having a guaranteed outcome. You might see many people getting rare rewards, but in reality, most people disappear silently in unseen places.
Therefore, it’s easier to get things done with a big support behind you. By relying on a certain power, you can ensure that you have a card up your sleeve and a protective umbrella while traveling the world.
The female gatherer, named Colored Bead, is a spider demon with over 130 years of cultivation. Different demon races have different habits. Spider demons are not very common in the Mountain and Sea realm or the Great Wilderness era. Although arthropods have a long history, there are not many powerful spider demons. They don’t possess many top-level fierce beasts or exotic bloodlines. They gradually developed as the communication between realms opened up.
The spider race has strong reproductive abilities but short lifespans. There are very few demon races that can break through their lifespan limits and cultivate for over fifty years. Compared to other races, they have stronger bloodline connections. Due to their racial characteristics, the Colored Spider demon race is also classified as a demonic or evil cultivation. They are not well-received by various factions and can only operate in the world, while also helping certain important figures in exchange for resources and living space.
Nowadays, things are different. The area where Caizhu is located in Hujia Grave occupies three peaks of the Nineteen Yin Mountains. Her master is a top-notch sorcerer in terms of strength, even in Ba State she is regarded as a formidable figure. Even the city defense generals dare not provoke her, and she is starting to feel hopeful for the future.
Caizhu desires a superior life and lifestyle. Her talent is good, and if she continues with her routine cultivation, she can live many more years. However, there is no pure land within the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, even for sorcerers. Today, someone is feasting on the flesh and blood of others at the dining table, and someday the skull of an enemy might be replaced with her own.
She wants a safe life, just like a retired pirate. If things continue this way, life will become increasingly difficult. It would be better to earn more money, wait for the turmoil to subside, and then escape to another country to start anew.
Over the past few decades, she can be described as having committed many wrongdoings. She has wholeheartedly carried out the tasks assigned to her by her sect, but with some reservations. Even her innocence has worn away. Her desire to leave is not about repentance, but purely because she feels the risks are too high. Continuing on this path, she sees no future and feels hopeless.
She originally planned to slowly save money and explore opportunities to work abroad or find a wealthy husband to marry and gain family assets through a circuitous route… It was inspired by a TV drama.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Princess Bai Ze this time. She felt that her luck had turned. She couldn’t miss this opportunity. She considered herself careful enough, but everyone underestimated her strength. Caizhu thought she had a deep disguise, but she would reveal her thoughts. She thought she had control over the situation, but Bai Wei’s few words exposed her true nature. She had ambitions, but a narrow mind.
Only when she was pinned down by Crouching Tiger did she realize the grave mistake she had made and hurriedly thought about how to make amends.
Pretending to submit on the surface.
Anxious in her heart, she called for the hidden emerald green spider.
Her senior sister has a cultivation of 150 years, and her strength is stronger than hers. Even if it’s just a clone here, she can unexpectedly capture her.
If being tough won’t work, then resort to sneaky tactics!
– Senior sister, it’s your turn to take action!
– Hurry, go!
She felt an urgency in her heart. Although she was in a very embarrassing position, pinned to the ground by a tiger, she still shouted for her senior sister to save her in an extraordinary manner.
The emerald green spider is a clone. Her true form is called Biyu, a very rare jade emerald spider with innate powerful spiritual consciousness.
It can split into multiple clones and establish a connection through spiritual consciousness. However, it’s still not a truly powerful soul. The mental connection means that her true form remains vulnerable. If the clones are eliminated, her own spiritual essence will also be damaged.
In order to compensate for various shortcomings, she specifically cultivated a broken mystic art to control her unique treasure.
The emerald green spider transformed into a thin needle, and the clone’s spiritual essence transformed into a sharp weapon, aiming directly at the young man’s forehead.
Instead of using regular spider venom, it’s better to directly destroy the opponent’s soul.
Soul-destroying needle, go!
The emerald spider released invisible power, and the soul fluctuation was very subtle, difficult to notice.
But in the eyes of Bai Wei, whose soul power was extremely strong, this surprise attack was no less powerful than a mosquito flying into his ear, the sound piercing his eardrums.
Bai Wei instinctively wanted to dodge, but in the next moment, he saw it still flying towards his forehead. The locked attack couldn’t be avoided, just like a targeted attack, it couldn’t be evaded. Some people, in order to escape their limits, teleport away, but then result in being taken away by a pursuing regular attack, directly teleporting to a grave.
He stopped dodging and let this green needle pierce his forehead.
"Well done, senior sister! Great job!" cheered the female herb gatherer, who was pinned to the ground by cat claws and eating dirt.
The emerald spider transformed, rising from the ground with green smoke and appearing as a figure, covering its lips and smiling, "Having been hit by my soul-destroying needle, even if you don’t die, you will become an idiot and fool. Even if a warrior’s vitality is strong, can it withstand my penetrating attacks on the flesh and soul?"
It looked towards the female herb gatherer, "Good junior sister, don’t forget our 70-30 agreement."
"Not in half?"
"Now it’s thirty-seven, it’ll cost more to help you kill this master." Beckoning Jade smiled enchantingly.
"Why did it increase by twenty percent?"
"Because…"
Beckoning Jade didn’t finish speaking, suddenly realizing that the person asking this question wasn’t her junior sister, but…
Bai Wei crossed his arms and asked in puzzlement, "Am I only worth twenty percent?"
Seeing Bai Wei completely unscathed, Beckoning Jade’s heart was filled with a sense of unease. She was absolutely certain that her Soul-Damaging Needle was unavoidable. It was a unique treasure tempered with decades of poisonous tactics.
"How can you be unharmed?" she exclaimed in shock.
"Are you looking for this?" Bai Wei raised his hand, holding a needle between his fingertips. With a slight squeeze, there was a crisp sound as the Soul-Damaging Needle snapped.
The jade spider was shocked and scared. This special treasure was passed down from our ancestors, and it was rumored to be a part of their body. Has it really been broken like this?
What kind of monster is this person? They can easily crush antiques.
The emerald spider had dreams of making a lot of money and reaching the peak of life, but at this moment, she no longer had that thought.
He is definitely not just a martial artist! The power of his soul is much stronger than I imagined!
"Junior sister, this… I can’t handle this! I’ll leave first," she felt the urge to retreat.
She couldn’t afford to be targeted by the other person, so she could only sacrifice her junior sister’s body.
You only lost your physical body in the destruction, but I lost one-tenth of my spiritual essence!
The jade spider wanted to retreat, but when she saw the opponent’s finger move, another cat’s paw came down, but it missed.
The spider spirit wanted to retreat, evading several cat paws in a row. But in the end, like a cat unable to catch a laser, Crouching Tiger swept his tail and knocked her to the ground.
Bai Wei threw the broken soul needle into the fireplace and asked curiously, "Why do you think it can escape from my hand?"
The emerald spider didn’t look pitiful, after all, only a clone died. It was a big loss, but not unbearable.
She raised her head firmly and said, "You can kill me, but you will pay a price you can’t imagine afterwards!"
Bai Wei asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"I’m just stating the truth, you fool!" She sneered, "Our clan will be waiting for you at Hujia Grave! There is no place for you in the whole Ba State, no, the whole Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. You…"
Bai Wei saw her calm expression and said calmly, "Do you think staying here is a clone, so I can’t kill you?"
The jade spider coldly laughed, "So what if you figured it out? The one here is just a clone. Are you brave enough to kill me? You dare not! Can you kill my true form? You can’t! That’s it!"
Bai Wei’s expression subtly changed.
"No more words? Hehe, if you don’t want a miserable death, kneel down and beg for mercy. Offer Bai Ze and Bi Fang to us, and we may spare your life! Your strength is impressive, you are qualified to be our vicious dog, otherwise…"
The jade spider continued to breathe out a fragrant smell, thinking that since the loss was so great, there was no turning back, so it might as well curse before the clone was destroyed.
Although it was already impossible to win in reality, it could still mentally defeat the opponent. Even if the clone was crushed, it wanted to disgust the opponent anyway.
Then what else can be done?
Can’t even talk back when unable to win a fight?
If she was already like this, shouldn’t she be allowed to become a spiritual warrior?
"Your clone exists here based on the division of your soul, and your geographical location is not far away, which proves that you are not using the path of the Ether ocean. If it were the spiritual world’s ocean, with the phase changes caused by each tide, without coordinates, I indeed have no way to deal with you, I can only crush your clone… But your soul cultivation is so shallow, your clone was made through mutual sensing based on the division of your soul, for me, tracking is not even slightly difficult." Bai Wei looked down on the jade spider, "You can make your true form open its eyes and see what’s in front of her."
Hujia Grave, a cave in one of the nineteen gloomy mountains.
The jade spider spirit was scared by this sentence, opened its eyes and hurriedly looked around, confirming that there was no one in the light of the lamps and candles, then it relaxed.
"Dare to frighten me! Really…"
"What is it?" A loud voice echoed in the empty cave. The emerald spider’s eyes narrowed, and a golden light formed a pathway as if the space was being torn apart. A semi-solid pale gold figure walked out.
Bai Wei looked at the motionless emerald spider, his tone warm like a gentle breeze in March.
"Please continue, I’m listening."
