Cultivation Online

"..."

After standing there with a pondering face for some time, Yuan finally said, "Okay, let's do this. Even if that man may have lured us into this trap, if I leave now, who knows how many more people will fall victim to this scheme if I leave it alone."

"Tell me more about the Demonic Spider, Xiao Hua. Does it have any fatal weaknesses?"

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Demonic Spiders are renowned for their powerful poison, which can easily kill someone below the Spirit Warrior level within mere seconds, and their sharp claws that can cut large boulders as though it's paper. However, as long as you avoid these two deadly attacks, the Demonic Spider is no different than just an oversized spider."

"...You make it sound like it's an easy task to dodge those attacks." Yuan looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Although the Demonic Spider has powerful attacks, it lacks the speed to take advantage of its raw power. So as long as Brother Yuan pays attention, you shouldn't have any problems dodging its attacks."

"I hope so…" Yuan sighed.

The two of them began walking deeper into the cave until they encountered what appeared to be an entrance to another area in the cave.

"This is definitely the boss room…" Yuan mumbled to himself after seeing the suspicious entrance that oozed with an obnoxious feeling.

"The Demonic Spider is right beyond that point, Brother Yuan, and it appears to be at the fourth level Spirit Warrior realm." Xiao Hua said to him after scouting for him using her spiritual sense.

"Fourth level… That's one level higher than your recommended level…" Yuan said.

"Brother Yuan is a genius so it will be fine." Xiao Hua raised her thumb at him.

"I have a feeling that you are overestimating me…"

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. If you are in trouble, Xiao Hua will come to your rescue, so you can fight to your heart's content."

"I guess so… What's the worst that can happen? I die and restart my cultivation? Well, here goes nothing."

After taking a moment to prepare himself mentally, Yuan began walking towards the boss room with a sword in his hand.

After entering the boss room, Yuan could see a spacious area with webs and bones littering the ground, but there was no sight of the Demonic Spider.

"Where's the Demonic Spider?" he asked after looking left and right without seeing the monster.

"It's above you, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him.

"Why didn't you tell me that before I entered this room?!" Yuan immediately looked up at the ceiling, where a 5-meter tall monster with a half-human and half-body spider was hanging on the webs that covered the entire cave ceiling.

"That thing is massive!" Yuan exclaimed with a terrified expression, as he has never seen anything this terrifying before.

Not only did it look like a monster straight out of a horror movie, but it also had eight massive and sharp legs, and each of them was as big as Yuan's entire body.

"Be careful, Brother Yuan! It's coming!"

Right as Xiao Hua warned him, the Demonic Spider kicked its legs and jumped at Yuan with its large mouth wide open.

"Oh shit!" Yuan quickly jumped back.

Boom!

The Demonic Spider landed a moment later, destroying the solid ground with ease.

"Looks like we have quite the nimble one here." The Demonic Spider suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.

"It can speak?!" Yuan was thoroughly shocked now, as he did not expect the Demonic Spider to suddenly start speaking in human language.

"Some demonic beings can gain the ability to speak once they reach a certain cultivation level." Xiao Hua said to him.

"Since it can speak, I might as well question it!" Yuan said, and he continued, "Demonic Spider! What happened to the daughter of the man outside?!"

"What… you ask? I ate her, of course…. Hahaha!" The Demonic Spider burst out laughing, sending chills down Yuan's body.

"Children's meat smells and tastes the best, after all! Although I'd promised that man that I'd return his daughter if he brings me 10 humans, I simply couldn't resist my urges, and I consumed her flesh and bones on the second day!" The Demonic Spider held a blissful expression on its human-like face as it recalled eating the human girl.

"You bastard…" Yuan narrowed his eyes in anger, and he emitted killing intent for the first time ever.

"I like the look in your eyes — it resembles that of a wild beast…" A grin appeared on the Demonic Spider's face, and it continued to speak, "However, you are only at the first level Spirit Warrior realm. You cannot defeat me, so you should just give up and let me eat you."

The Demonic Spider then turned to look at Xiao Hua and said, " This is truly my lucky day. Your skin is very smooth and beautiful; it also smells much better than the other child. I bet you are going to taste much better, too."

The smile on its face grew even wider when it imagined taking a bite from Xiao Hua's tempting body.

"Since you like to eat so much, I will let you eat my sword!"

Yuan shouted, and he rushed at the Demonic Spider with the sword in his hands raised.

"Bloody Sword Strike!"

A red aura covered the sword's blade, creating a red arc of sword light as it slashed towards the Demonic Spider.

Ding!

The Demonic Spider quickly blocked the Yuan's strike with one of its legs, and the impact made it sound as though two swords had collided.

'It's tough!' Yuan was surprised by how hard the Demonic Spider's legs were, feeling as though they were made out of metal.

However, Yuan was not the only one who was surprised after that exchange, as the Demonic Spider was also shocked by Yuan's strength.

'How does this human have such strength when he's only at the first level Spirit Warrior realm?! He'd even managed to cut my legs that are harder than steel in a single strike!' The Demonic Spider looked at the sword cut with wide eyes filled with shock.
