Chapter 429: Human-Faced Spider Demon

As we go deeper into Ailao Mountain, the surrounding environment becomes increasingly bizarre.

The trees were twisted, the vines were tangled, and the air was filled with a sickening stench.

From time to time, they could hear some strange noises, as if something was secretly watching them.

Tushan Yuhua's fox tail suddenly tightened, and she whispered, "Something is following us."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the shadows of the surrounding trees.

Amid the rustling sounds of crawling, dozens of spider-like monsters emerged.

They have human faces and spider bodies, and pale human hands grow at the joints of their eight legs.

"A human-faced spider demon?"

Tushan Yuhua's pupils suddenly shrank: "This thing should have been extinct long ago!"

Kuiniu had already crushed the nearest one with one hoof, but when the lightning exploded, he screamed: "This thing is poisonous!"

I saw the purple-black mucus splashing onto its legs, and the skin and flesh were festering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huo Qinghuang suddenly laughed.

She grabbed a human-faced spider demon with her backhand, squeezed it with her five fingers, and a few drops of purple-red blood spurted out and fell into her... mouth!

Then, a ray of golden elixir fire rose from her palm, roasting the human-faced spider demon with a sizzling sound.

Tushan Yuhua watched her lick the blood off her lips, and her nine tails exploded into fluff balls: "You even eat this?!"

"What a good thing! This is the poisonous blood of an ancient demon species. Very nutritious!"

Huo Qinghuang narrowed his eyes, and golden flames suddenly rose around him.

The flames transformed into the shadow of a phoenix, and wherever the spider demons passed, they were reduced to ashes.

But wisps of purple-red smoke rose from the ashes and were all inhaled into her nose.

"It's a pity there are so few."

She shook her head, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

Tushan Yuhua and Kuiniu were both stunned.

Is this guy still a human now?

How come you behave more like a demon than them?

Ao Jiu suddenly thrust his halberd into the ground: "Get out of the way!"

"boom!"

A huge hole exploded in the ground, and a centipede with a thousand legs as big as a small mountain broke out of the ground, with a distorted human face embedded in each section of its shell.

Those people wailed in pain, staring at Huo Qinghuang and the others with eyes that emitted malicious light.

"Hiss! What the hell is this?"

Kui Niu got goose bumps all over his body: "I have been sealed for so many years, old cow, how come there are so many disgusting things in the world?"

The centipede's hundreds of human faces screamed at the same time, and the sound waves caused the leaves in the forest to fall into the air.

Tushan Yuhua's fox ears were almost deafened, and suddenly she remembered something and shouted, "Close your ears! This is the 'Hundred Complaints Demonic Sound'!"

Huo Qinghuang took a step forward towards the sound wave, and the Mountain-Sinking Axe pierced into the ground with a clang.

She suddenly opened her mouth, and a clear phoenix cry rang out like a sharp sword that split the devil's sound. The phoenix cry contained a powerful pressure that seemed to be able to deter all evil in the world.

The hundred human faces of the centipede froze at the same time, and a hint of fear flashed in its originally resentful eyes.

But it quickly recovered, twisting its body violently, with countless legs dancing wildly, as it rushed towards Huo Qinghuang and the others.

Ao Jiu swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and slashed out instantly: "Evil beast! You're looking for death!"

"boom!"

The Kuiniu's single hoof caused thunder to strike the sky, and a thick pillar of lightning fell from the sky and struck the center of the centipede's carapace.

The human face on the shell let out a shrill scream, and purple-black pus and blood spurted out.

Tushan Yuhua's nine tails danced together, like nine silver whips entangled with the centipede: "Friend Huo!"

Huo Qinghuang pulled out the Mountain-Trapping Axe, and the axe blade was shining with blood.

She leaped up and ran wildly along the centipede's carapace, with each axe hitting the gap in the shell accurately.

“Crack!”

The centipede was split into several pieces, but the terrifying thing was that each piece of its body could move independently and launch a more ferocious attack on everyone.

"Cut off the face on its back!"

Ao Jiu reminded, and swung his halberd, hitting one of the faces.

The centipede wailed and its movements slowed down.

But there are more than a dozen human faces on each part of its body, and missing one does not affect its movement.

Huo Qinghuang's eyes flashed, and he quickly adjusted his strategy. He swung the Mountain Axe in his hand with great force, chopping at the human face on the centipede's back.

Every time the axe blade fell, a scream could be heard, a human face was chopped off, and the centipede's movements became slower.

Kuiniu continued to mobilize the power of thunder, and thick pillars of lightning continued to bombard the centipede's body.

In the flash of lightning, the centipede's shell was shattered and pus and blood splattered everywhere.

However, the centipede had extremely strong vitality and even after suffering such severe damage, it was still struggling frantically.

Tushan Yuhua's nine tails each wrapped around the body of a centipede, and she shouted, "This thing is quite powerful, hurry up!"

Ao Jiu's face was stern, and he danced the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand with great vigor. Every stabbing was carried out with fierce momentum, trying to accurately cut off the human face on the back of the centipede.

Dragon flame burned fiercely on the tip of the halberd, blending with the lightning and illuminating the strange battlefield.

Just as everyone was fighting the centipede, suddenly, a strong black mist erupted around the centipede's body. The mist spread and instantly enveloped everyone, blocking their vision.

"Be careful, this mist is poisonous!"

Huo Qinghuang reminded loudly.

As she spoke, she opened her mouth and spewed out a ball of golden elixir fire, burning away all the mist around her.

Seeing this, Ao Jiu followed suit. Dragon flames gushed out from his body, burning all the black fog in front of him away.

However, Tushan Yuhua did not have a real body, so he was reluctant to activate the true fire of his soul. Therefore, he had to use his magic power to form a protective shield around his body to resist the erosion of the fog.

Kuiniu is a divine beast of thunder. It can use thunder magic, but it is unable to set fire.

But it is not without a solution.

It stomped its foot heavily, making a deafening sound, and a ring-shaped thunderstorm exploded with it as the center.

“Boom!”

Wherever the lightning passed, the black fog retreated as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

The trees that were swept by the lightning were carbonized into ashes in an instant.

"How does Lao Niu's Thunder Breaker taste?"

Two streams of white gas spurted out of the Kuiniu's nostrils, and lightning flashed in its eyes.

The black fog dissipated, and the human faces on the back of the centipede were all chopped off.

Its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and there was no movement anymore.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the scene before them.

"Huh, I finally solved this troublesome guy."

Kuiniu was panting and sitting on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

Ao Jiu put away his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the dragon flame went out.

He stood still as a mountain, looking into the depths of Ailao Mountain, and said in a deep voice: "The changes in the world are intensifying. This Ailao Mountain is no longer an ordinary mountain. The monsters that appear are getting stronger and stronger. It seems that we have to be more careful in the future."

Tushan Yuhua's nine tails swayed gently, and a vigilant light flashed in the fox's eyes.

He frowned slightly and said, "That's right. We have encountered so many powerful monsters not long after we went deep into the cave. We don't know what will be waiting for us later."

Huo Qinghuang nodded, staring ahead, not knowing what he saw, and suddenly said to Tushan Yuhua: "I think you should inform Long Weihua not to let ordinary people enter Ailao Mountain to die."
