Chapter 10
I also used the fire bell to burn the liquid, but it had little effect. When I saw the liquid spraying towards me, I quickly ran away.
Its six eyes spun around, and then it spit out three more strands of spider silk. I saw it repeat its old trick, burning the silk with the fire bell again.
It should understand now that those spider silks are useless to me.
I immediately condensed another lightning and fire bead and threw it at it. It knew that the lightning and fire bead was more harmful, so it also tried to run away.
However, the Thunder and Fire Beads have area damage, and although it is agile, it was still injured by them.
This time, the lightning and fire bead chopped off one of its heads.
The head rolled to the ground and blinked at the last moment.
The demonic ghost trembled all over, and countless small spiders fell from its back. Its body, the fused corpse of the three people, quickly lost its flesh and blood, finally turning into white bones that fell to the ground.
The demon retreated from the dry bones and turned into a spider demon spirit.
It turned out that it laid its eggs in the corpses of the three people just now, nourishing them with their flesh and blood. In a short period of time, countless little spiders hatched.
But now there is one thing I don’t understand. It is a demon soul, so how can it lay physical eggs?
The situation before me didn't give me time to think about it, as the little spiders covering the ground swarmed towards me.
The dense swarm of insects almost made me want to flee. It was a physical disgust. I suppressed my nausea and used the fire bell to spray a large amount of flames at them.
A foul odor filled the air, making me gag. It was the stench of a corpse, and I had no idea what these little spiders were.
I was fighting off the spiders while setting up my formations. I didn't have enough time to set up the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder Formation, as it was too complicated, so I had to set up the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation.
The Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation requires the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. I don't have these things on me, so I can only use talismans instead.
That’s right, it’s the Five Elements Talisman.
Using the Five Elements Talisman as a formation, as long as the evil spirit is killed, those little spiders will lose their roots and will probably perish on their own.
I drew five Five Elements Talismans and threw them into the five corners. Seeing me do this, the demon spirit attacked me frantically, leaping at me with its soul body and spitting silk from its mouth.
I quickly used fire to resist, feeling sad that this demon spirit was obviously not intelligent enough. It knew that spider silk was useless to me, but it still used spider silk to attack me again and again.
What happened next was beyond my imagination. The spider silk, blazing with flames, rushed towards me. In that moment of distraction, the spider silk hit me and stuck me to the ground.
Why is my flame not working?
I struggled to wake up and use my ghost spirit to consume the spider silk. But it was too slow. I saw the ghost spirit coming towards me. There were countless small spiders, and they were about to drown me.
The feather stone on my chest suddenly flew out, emitting a dazzling light. The small spiders approaching me were instantly melted, and the demonic spirit was also illuminated and retreated. I took this opportunity to break free from the bead net. I immediately picked up the feather stone and poured the ghost spirit into it.
The feather stone, which had received the silver ghost spirit, emitted an even stronger light. My silver ghost spirit radiated through the feather stone, illuminating the entire intersection with me as the center.
Both the little spider and the demon soul disappeared into thin air due to this light.
A ray of energy entered the feather stone, and it jumped excitedly in my hand.
This evil spirit was actually more effective than the ghost that had been liberated before, and it healed a lot.
"Huh?"
I looked around, but the fog hadn't dissipated yet, and was only getting thicker. Just as I was wondering, I saw the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters emerge from the fog.
They were both very surprised to see me and asked, "Did you see a spider spirit on the way here?"
"Third Master, Fourth Master, what was that thing? I almost died at its hands." I asked.
The Eight Lords of the Underworld, in addition to the Seventh Lord and the Eighth Lord, the Black and White Impermanence whom I have met before, there are also the First Lord and the Second Lord, the civil and military judges, Cui Jue and Zhong Kui respectively. The Third Lord and the Fourth Lord are the Ox-Head and Horse-Face in front of us, and the Fifth Lord and the Sixth Lord are the golden shackles and silver locks.
"Young man, you have seen it. The two of us are here to catch it. We will tell you the details after we catch it. Did you see which direction it went?" said Niu Tou.
"I have eliminated it," I said.
The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon stared at me in disbelief and said, "It's not that I don't believe in my strength, young friend. Even though you've already survived three tribulations, you're still no match for it. I see your Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation isn't even complete yet. That demon spirit isn't just any evil creature. I'm sure you're no match for it."
After hearing this, before I could even mention the feather stone, it came out from my chest, floating in the air, emitting a soft light.
Seeing the feather stone, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons immediately bowed in greeting. I quickly dodged, thinking this was not a courtesy to me, and I couldn't accept it.
"It turns out that my friend has obtained the Yuhao Stone." said Niutou.
"After I returned from the gates of hell last time, the high priest returned the feather stone to me."
The feather-hair stone was displayed for a moment, then hidden back in my chest.
"Third Master, Fourth Master, what exactly is that thing?" I asked curiously.
Niutou sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. The gates of hell were originally opened today to allow those ghosts who couldn't be reincarnated to return to the world of the living to visit their relatives. I didn't expect that this spider demon took advantage of the ghost's unpreparedness and actually ate the souls of both of them.
If we hadn't noticed that the karma of so many ghosts had dissipated, we wouldn't have known something was wrong. I think those souls were transformed by the feather stone you used.
That spider demon must be a soul-devouring monster, specializing in feeding on souls. It's a pity that my two men were eaten by it. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the world of the living would have been in chaos."
After saying that, the Ox-Headed Horse-Faced Guard bowed to me.
I quickly helped them both up and said, "No, no, no, I just happened to be passing by and saw the thick fog here. I wanted to investigate, but I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
"Anyway, thank you for your help, young man. When we return to the underworld, we will tell King Qin Guang about this matter." Niu Tou said.
"Third Master and Fourth Master, when I was fighting with that soul-eating monster just now, I accidentally hurt a lot of innocent ghosts..." I said a little guilty.
"It's okay. This has nothing to do with you. It's our fault. Don't worry." Niutou said.
"That's good."
The two of them returned underground, and the thick fog gradually dissipated.
At this time, the sound of sirens sounded, and I suddenly remembered that I had just called the police.
A police car stopped in front of me and seven or eight policemen got out. Traffic police and an ambulance also arrived.
At this moment, I saw the bodies of the three people, scattered in pieces at the intersection.
The police came up and questioned me first. This scene was clearly not caused by a car accident. And I was the only one at the scene, so I could only take my statement with the police.
I can't tell them the situation directly.
I showed them my Xuan Detective Bureau ID, and they contacted their superiors, confirmed my identity, and let me go.
At the same time, the same situation is happening in other places across the city!
