Chapter 183: I’m Sorry For Being Late

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The human-faced spider lay on the spider web while staring at Yu Huang with excitement like a hungry wolf that had seen a piece of fresh meat.

Being stared at by such a pair of creepy eyes, even Yu Huang could not help but feel her hair stand on end.

“Anna?” Yu Huang called out tentatively.

However, when the spider heard Anna’s name, it did not have any special reaction.

It raised one of its legs and lightly cut the spider web, causing a crack to appear on the spider web. The human-faced spider crawled into the crack and used its eight long legs to support its fat belly as it landed in front of Yu Huang.

It grinned and drooled.

It was drooling because of the energy in Yu Huang’s body.

Yu Huang knew that the human-faced spider was treating her as food and could not help but curse in her heart.

The human-faced spider suddenly flew into the air before opening its mouth and spitting out a few strands of sticky, gray poison spider silk at Yu Huang.

Knowing that this thing was extremely corrosive and poisonous, Yu Huang did not dare to touch it. She hurriedly flew a hundred meters away and landed on a crooked tree.

Sheng Xiao was looking for Tao Anna on the other side. He heard the sound of animals crawling. He turned around and saw a huge spider chasing after Yu Huang.

Sheng Xiao summoned the Black Qing Sky Dragon and flew to Yu Huang’s side.

“Are you alright?” Sheng Xiao asked Yu Huang.

Yu Huang stared at the approaching spider and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Because the spider had its head lowered, Sheng Xiao could not see its face. He could only see its enormous body. “It should be a level-two demon beast.” Sheng Xiao held the Dragon’s Sword and was about to kill the spider.

Sensing Sheng Xiao’s intentions, Yu Huang quickly grabbed his wrist. “No!”

Sheng Xiao was confused. “Why?”

Yu Huang pointed at the spider and reminded Sheng Xiao, “Look.”

At that moment, the spider raised its head.

Sheng Xiao turned around and saw the spider’s face.

Sheng Xiao’s expression changed when he saw Tao Anna’s face on the spider. “How did this happen? Is that Anna?”

“Yes,” Yu Huang said. “Have you forgotten that Anna’s beast form is a mutated devouring beast? This thing can devour everything in the world.”

Sheng Xiao frowned and said thoughtfully, “You suspect that Anna swallowed the poisonous spider?”

Yu Huang shook her head and said, “No, I suspect that this poisonous spider swallowed Anna when she was seriously injured. In the end, Anna swallowed it instead. It seems that Anna and the poisonous spider have become one.”

. That’s possible.’

The two of them conversed for a short while before the spider crawled beneath them and was about to launch a second round of attacks.

Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao flew up at the same time and landed on different trees. Yu Huang shouted at Sheng Xiao, “Sheng Xiao, don’t kill her. Capture her alive!”

“Alright!”

“I’ll lure her into the trap. Protect me!” With that, Yu Huang jumped down from the tree and landed in front

of the human-faced spider. She folded her wings, turned around, and ran.

The human-faced spider sensed the presence of a stranger and immediately turned around to chase after Yu Huang. As it chased, it spat silk at Yu Huang.

As Yu Huang fled, she summoned her psychic power and condensed it into the shape of a long rope.

Yu Huang ran through the forest while holding onto the psychic rope. If the spider could think, it would realize that Yu Huang was actually running around it.

The psychic rope formed an airtight net around the crooked tree, trapping the spider inside. When the spider realized that it was trapped and wanted to escape, Sheng Xiao flew in another direction.

Black Qing Sky Dragon swung its tail and sent the spider flying.

Yu Huang suddenly retracted her five fingers, and the large psychic cage instantly tightened before binding the human-faced spider into a Silkworm Baby.

They had finally captured the human-faced spider.

Because Yu Huang had expended too much energy, the protective shield on her body was so faint that it was about to dissipate.

Sheng Xiao saw that it was almost time for Yu Huang. He quickly crushed the distress talisman.

The moment the distress talisman was crushed, Lin Jiansheng descended from the sky and kicked the spiderweb in the sky before landing in front of them

Seeing that Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao did not lose any arms or legs, Lin Jiansheng relaxed.

Seeing a huge Silkworm Baby lying on the ground, Lin Jiansheng asked Yu Huang, “What is this?”

Yu Huang said, “It’s a kind of spider demon beast.”

“Wow, it’s quite big.”

Lin Jiansheng’s expression turned solemn when he saw the spider’s head.

He said, “This is a Nightmare Spider. Its spider silk has an illusionary effect. Many people who accidentally entered the Broken Cliff Valley were poisoned by this poison and lost themselves in the valley, so they became their food.”

“There are countless spiders like this in this valley. It seems that Anna has fused with this Nightmare Spider.” Yu Huang hurriedly asked, “Mentor, is Anna still alive?”

“Both she and the Nightmare Spider want to devour each other. Anna’s face is still there, which means that the Nightmare Spider hasn’t completely absorbed her. She should still be alive.”

Lin Jiansheng swiped his right hand across the top of the Nightmare Spider and stored it into his interspatial ring. Lin Jiansheng lowered his head and looked at the bones all over the gound. A hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. “There are more skeletons here than before.”

“Yes!” Lin Jiansheng explained. “Back then, when my cultivation level reached Level 7, I encountered a bottleneck. No matter what, I was unable to break through to Level 8. For this, I specially found this valley with the most grievous energy to cultivate in.”

“I’ve been in seclusion here for five years before I successfully broke through my cultivation and advanced to a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master.” With that said, Lin Jiansheng glanced at Yu Huang again and told her, “In the future, this will also be a place for you to train.”

Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He looked at the terrible environment at the bottom of the valley and felt sorry for Yu Huang. However, his rationality reminded him that he could not be soft-hearted and stop Yu Huang from growing.

Yu Huang herself was not dissatisfied with Lin Jiansheng’s arrangement. She said, “I’ll listen to Mentor’s arrangements.”

“We’ll talk about this in the future.” Seeing that the protective shield on Yu Huang’s body was almost gone,

Lin Jiansheng said, “Let’s leave the valley first and find a safe place to talk.”

“Alright!”

The three of them flew out of the valley and landed in the forest.

After finding a wide lawn, Lin Jiansheng released the spider from his interspatial ring.

As soon as it was released, the human-faced spider struggled with all its might while emitting intermittent whooshing sounds.

Lin Jiansheng walked in front of the spider and stood still. He took out the Psychic Scepter and summoned the Psychic Sphere. Then, he closed his eyes and started chanting the Spirit Purification Incantation with a pious expression.

As soon as the Spirit Purification Incantation was heard, all the trees in the forest seemed to have been awakened. The leaves trembled slightly, and wisps of almost invisible green psychic energy surged towards Lin Jiansheng’s Psychic Scepter, which was then injected into the spider’s body.

The human-faced spider, which had been struggling violently just a moment ago, gradually relaxed after being comforted by the power of psychic energy. It laid limply on the ground while staring blankly at a certain spot without moving.

This was the first time Yu Huang had seen Lin Jiansheng purifying the spirit of a demon beast. This was a rare opportunity. She watched seriously and even silently memorized the Purifying Spirit incantation.

The purifying process lasted for a long time.

At a certain moment, the human-faced spider’s lifeless eyes finally regained some clarity. Its pupils trembled slightly for a moment before it looked towards the direction where Yu Huang and the others were standing.

Upon seeing Yu Huang, the human-faced spider’s eyes suddenly turned red.

“Ho ho ho!” The human-faced spider opened its mouth and let out an involuntary roar towards Yu Huang. It seemed to have recognized her and was somewhat moved.

Yu Huang knew that Anna’s will had been awakened. She quickly told her, “Anna, you must break free from the Nightmare Spider to survive!”

Tao Anna seemed to have understood Yu Huang’s words, and her gaze suddenly became firm.

At this moment, Lin Jianshengs incantation suddenly became more intense, and the psychic energy surging into the spider’s body became stronger and stronger. Under the suppression of Lin Jiansheng’s psychic energy, the human-faced spider’s consciousness became weaker and weaker, while Tao Anna’s will became firmer.

She and the human-faced spider were engaged in a mental battle.

The human-faced spider began to struggle violently. Its eyes were sometimes as evil as a beast’s, and sometimes as pure as a young girl’s.

This process continued for over twenty minutes before the spider slowly stopped.

Splash!

A hole opened in the spider’s stomach from the inside, and Anna Tao slid out with a sharp dagger in her hand.

In the end, Anna Tao won the battle.

“Anna!” Seeing this, Yu Huang hurriedly ran over and hugged Anna before bringing her away from the poisonous spider.

After placing Anna Tao flat on the ground, Yu Huang quickly took out a towel and wiped away the acid on her body.

After a long while, Tao Anna opened her eyes. She stared at Yu Huang in confusion for a long time before finally recognizing her.

Anna Tao wrapped her arms tightly around Yu Huan<s shoulders while sobbing her heart out.

Anna Tao thought that she was dead meat for sure, but who would have thought that there was someone in this world who had not given up on her? Yu Huang was like a ray of light, bringing light to Anna Tao, who was trapped in hell.

Yu Huangs heart almost shattered when she heard Anna Tao’s words.

Anna Tao’s body was covered with the acid from the poisonous spider’s stomach. It was disgusting to smell, but Yu Huang could endure it without changing her expression. She patted Anna Tao’s head lightly and apologized to her guiltily. “I’m sorry for being late.”

Yu Huang couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she hadn’t come looking for Anna Tao. Would she have been devoured by the Nightmare Spider?.
