Tang San shook his head, "I'm afraid it can't be awakened."
"Hmm?"
"When I was carrying him over, I checked his pulse and found that his heart pulse was very strange. It didn't seem like poisoning, but it was just weak and unstable," Tang San stated his pulse-checking results.
"I don't know if this is because the senior of the demon race left or something else. In short, for this person to wake up, it will probably require a significant energy infusion. He needs to absorb enough to wake up, otherwise, he might just sleep like this forever."
Sleep forever?
Wouldn't that be a vegetative state?
Tang Sui swallowed the words "He's actually our great-grandfather" and fell into deep thought, her eyes cast down.
Speaking of energy... without harming others and living beings, besides heavenly treasures, the underground energy core of the Slaughter City would be the most suitable...
So, does Tang Chen still have to return to the Slaughter City?
She felt a hint of difficulty.
But蝠翼's words still seemed to echo in her ears. Standing on this great path of destiny, she could no longer turn back.
Tang Sui closed her eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and when she opened them again, her gaze had returned to calmness. "After hunting for the sixth spirit ring, brother, you absorb the spirit bone. Then I'll use my domain to transport Sister Xiao Wu and the others to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and then brother, you can temporarily return to Shrek Academy to check on the situation of the other two sects. I will take the King of Slaughter back to the Slaughter City. We will split into two groups."
"Okay."
Tang San and Xiao Wu both nodded, having no objections.
...
Entering the forest area once more, arriving at the place where Tang San and Xiao Wu had fought that Human-Faced Demon Spider, Tang Sui looked at the venom lingering on the tree trunks and the poisonous spider silk hanging from the branches that had already corroded a section of them. Ripples spread across her eyes.
'System.'
[I am here.]
'Locate the position of that Human-Faced Demon Spider.'
The solidified demonic energy of Tang Sui, combined with the system's precise positioning like a sky net, allowed the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which was a thousand meters away and preying on other spirit beasts to recover its injuries, to remain completely unaware that it had been targeted, not stirred at all.
"Brother, I found it, about fifteen hundred meters to the southeast," Tang Sui glanced at the imposing Tang San.
The latter nodded. Without even needing to pursue, a chilling killing aura permeated the air. Even though the white light representing the Slaughter God's Domain had not appeared, the air around him had become cold and肅殺.
Tang San raised his hand, facing the southeast. A cold aura emanated from it, along with a circle of clear, deep blue light.
This blue halo gave a different feeling than the usual life-affirming ones. Instead, it contained endless killing intent, transforming from a cradle nurturing life into an ice cellar claiming lives.
The same Blue Silver Domain, when generated with different emotions, produced different effects.
When Tang San's killing intent reached a certain concentration, the affected Blue Silver Grass was no longer filled with nurturing and reverence.
At this moment, as if commanded by the Insect Emperor, their minds were filled with killing intent, full of attack power. Like soldiers clearing obstacles, they spread the information they saw to Tang San's brain, one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand.
On the other end, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which had finally captured a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, raised its two forelegs covered in tiny barbs, about to enjoy this long-awaited meal. A danger signal suddenly blared in its neural network.
Its hard carapace was even harder than armor forged from iron essence. Each of its spider legs was its best weapon.
Coupled with its potent poison and some special skills, it was undoubtedly a top predator in this spirit beast forest.
This top predator, however, was only a threat as long as it didn't provoke super spirit beasts of the Titan Giant Ape's level.
Of course, even if it couldn't win, it could still escape.
In terms of speed, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was never inferior to any spirit beast, especially in a complex terrain like the forest.
Its current cultivation was seventy thousand years, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a local boss.
But now, the sudden alarm made its eight eyes roll restlessly, sensing a hint of threat.
Once a spirit beast's cultivation surpassed ten thousand years, it already possessed considerable intelligence. Coupled with their innate sensitivity to their environment and combat, this Human-Faced Demon Spider, about to feast, leaped up without hesitation, abandoning its hard-won prey. It used all eight of its spider legs, one of which was half broken, and fled rapidly into the distance.
Having locked onto the Human-Faced Demon Spider's position, Tang San immediately moved. He leaped up, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step carrying him through the forest as if treading on flat ground.
Relying on the Blue Silver Domain that firmly locked onto the target, Tang San accurately pursued the direction the Human-Faced Demon Spider was fleeing, rapidly closing the distance between them.
Tang Sui didn't use her legs but flew directly, chasing Tang San.
However, having lived in this spirit beast forest for years, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was intimately familiar with every path and even which underground tunnels led where. Even though Tang San used the flight spirit ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, combined with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, making his movement so fast that the eyes could only capture streaks of afterimages, he was still far behind the cunning Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Five hundred meters apart, not far, but not close either. In the convoluted terrain of the spirit beast forest, blocking the Human-Faced Demon Spider was by no means easy.
Once again confused by the similar terrain of the vast spirit beast forest and tricked by the opponent, Tang San's face turned ashen.
After luring them here, the Human-Faced Demon Spider burrowed back underground and escaped in another direction!
Just in case, Xiao Wu and the enormous Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python had remained in the valley and not come out. Therefore, only the two siblings came to hunt for the sixth spirit ring.
"Brother, no need to chase further. Just drive it over directly."
Tired of the chase game, a hint of black-red shattered light flashed in Tang Sui's dark blue eyes. The next second, an aura even more terrifying than the肅殺 and coldness emanating from Tang San spread out from her. Even Tang San's heartbeat couldn't help but falter.
It felt as if they were facing a true god of slaughter who had ascended the throne after treading on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even the Blue Silver Emperor felt an inexplicable sense of hierarchical pressure from its bloodline!
Of course, this hierarchical pressure was not soul power, but an indescribable fear distinct from their species.
On the other side, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which had just broken through the surface with its massive spider legs, immediately turned its huge legs into rocket boosters and fled at incredible speed.
However, before it could create more distance, a sense of fear of being targeted by a much more powerful overlord-level spirit beast swept over it.
The pressure from its bloodline level rendered its eight spider legs disobedient. It stopped running, as if that terrifying overlord-level spirit beast was right in front of it. Its legs involuntarily weakened, and it collapsed there, letting out whimpers of fear and unease from its grotesque mouthparts, as if begging for mercy.
