Chapter 13
Seeing my anxious look, Yuanli guessed that something must have happened.
He picked up the phone and contacted his superiors for support. In the time it took to get through the call, six soul-eating monsters ran towards us at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment they also felt something unusual and looked around.
The first to appear was the Northern Soul Eater, its six legs scuttling along the building wall. This Soul Eater was much larger than the one I had encountered, looking about half the size of a basketball court.
Then all the Soul Eaters appeared from other directions and surrounded us.
Judging from the current situation, all the formations we set up are probably useless!
What’s even more strange is that the six of them didn’t even look at the boy and girl, but kept staring at us.
"Why are they coming straight towards us?" said Sister Ma.
"It seems that we are not the ones who are encircling and suppressing them, but they are using the same tactics to trap us!" said Zhang Lei.
"Let's try our best to delay until support arrives," Yuan Li said.
Now that hiding was useless, the four of us walked to the intersection, back to back, and watched them.
The spider in the north hissed. The six of them retreated from the upstairs and soon appeared in front of us.
The spider before me had eight eyes, two pairs apart, arranged vertically across its face. Its mouth was filled with jagged fangs, dripping with saliva. Its six legs were covered in thorns, and its belly was bulging with the weight of countless souls it had consumed.
We are in a standoff at the moment. If they don't move, we dare not move either.
Sister Ma is an impulsive person. She raised the Impermanence Chain she had just obtained and attacked the spiders.
As soon as she started, we immediately joined the fight.
Yuan Li took off a string of Buddhist beads from his neck. Each bead sparkled with golden light and was extremely powerful.
However, I have never seen Zhang Lei's magic. The sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light and actually stabbed the soul-eating monster.
Seeing how powerful they were, I didn't want to be outdone. Our goal this time was to persevere, so I didn't use the Thunder Fire Pearl right away.
The Thunder and Fire Beads have great destructive power, but they also consume a lot of ghost spirits.
Given our current situation, using the art of talismans to borrow the power of heaven and earth is the most energy-saving way to fight.
Last time I used the Fire Bell to deal with the Soul Devourer, it didn't work very well, so I thought about whether I could draw the Golden Feather Arrow Talisman or the Thunder and Fire Bead Talisman to see what the effect would be.
I did it right away. I drew a golden arrow in the air with my finger, then used the Longhu Mountain talisman method to draw it into a talisman, and then threw the golden arrow talisman at the spider in front of me.
Although the process is complicated, it only takes three or four seconds from the time I start thinking about it to making the golden arrow talisman.
As soon as the golden arrow talisman touched the spider, it exploded on its body. Although its power was not as strong as the golden feather arrow, it could still repel it a little.
The four of us were a little unfamiliar with working together for the first time, but after a short period of cooperation, we gradually became proficient and were able to fight back and forth with the six of them.
The last time I faced the Soul Eater alone, it took quite a while. It seems humans are smarter than these Soul Eaters, at least in terms of coordination, we are more sophisticated.
The six of them suddenly spit out spider silk from their mouths. I had encountered this situation before and knew that this spider silk was extraordinary, so I quickly used a real golden feather flying arrow to shoot at the spider silk.
I looked at the three of them, and it was obvious that they had used their own magic weapons to break free from the spider silk.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, they spit out a lot of spider silk towards us. Layer by layer, these spider silks gathered into cocoons in front of us, trying to trap us all.
I had to use the Thunder Fire Pearl.
The Thunder and Fire Beads have a great killing effect on the soul-eating monster, and these spider silks melt as soon as they touch them.
Sister Ma is having a hard time. Her magic weapon is the Chain of Impermanence given to her by Master Qi. She is not as skillful as I am in dealing with these layers of spider silk.
I quickly threw another thunder and fire bead towards her.
Sister Ma looked at me gratefully, and I nodded at her.
Zhang Lei used his sword to cut the spider silk directly, and the layers of cocoons were torn apart like cloth.
As for Yuan Li, his Buddhist beads must be a powerful magical weapon. The spider silk started to catch fire before it even got close to him, and finally burned to nothingness.
When the attack failed, they spit out a lot of saliva at us.
"Come closer to me!" I shouted.
The three of them heard what I said and came towards me. I used the Ghost Spirit to draw a circle on the ground and ignited the Earth Fire Talisman at the same time, forming a fire barrier.
The saliva sizzled as it came into contact with the flames.
This time I learned from my previous experience and used the Earth Fire to block it. It didn't disappoint me, it seems this trick works.
Yuan Li looked at the fire circle and said, "The ghost tribe's skills are indeed extraordinary."
If they can't break through the ring of fire, we can wait until backup arrives.
But this is just our wishful thinking. They just stepped forward with their huge legs and put out the fire.
Then, needles similar to bee stings shoot out from their tails.
This needle was extremely sinister. I quickly threw out a lightning and fire bead, and it exploded with the bee sting.
But Sister Ma was not so lucky. She dodged quickly, but the bee sting still pierced her thigh.
She was shivering all over and lying on the ground foaming at the mouth.
Seeing her three souls and seven spirits escaping from her body, I quickly used the feather stone to retrieve them.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and I no longer held back and directly poured the ghost spirit into the Yuhao Stone. After the last repair, the Yuhao Stone emitted much more energy than at the beginning.
This beam of light repelled all the soul-eating monsters and saved Sister Ma on the ground.
"Let's solve them one by one, otherwise we may not be able to hold on until they arrive." I said anxiously.
I deliberately ran in front of the Soul Eater and pierced its skin with the Golden Feather Arrow, provoking them all to come and catch me.
Seeing that they were irritated by me, I ran towards the Five Elements Evil-Slaying Formation.
The soul-eating monster closest to me chased me relentlessly and followed me all the way into the formation.
Although they have thick skin and flesh, and look neither demonic nor ghostly, their IQ is not high.
As soon as it entered the Five Elements Evil-Slaying Formation, I immediately used the ghost spirit as a trigger to activate the formation.
Gold, wood, water, fire and earth descended from the sky and circled around us. I quickly jumped out and activated the formation at the same time.
The soul-eating monster made a painful sizzling sound. When the other soul-eating monsters heard it, they surrounded the Five Elements Evil-Slaying Formation and shouted into it, sounding very anxious.
"I'm here to help you!" Zhang Lei shouted, bit his fingertips and rubbed them on his sword.
The sword suddenly emitted a strong yang energy. Zhang Lei threw it towards the Heavenly Killing Formation. The sword pierced into the ground and the Heavenly Killing Formation was activated instantly.
The Five Elements Evil-Slaying Formation works in conjunction with the Heavenly Killing Formation, and the destructive power of the two formations increases exponentially.
Even if the soul-eater had nine lives, it couldn't be deader.
Seeing this, the other Soul Eaters launched a frenzied attack on us, this time using the thorns on their legs to attack us, and we were instantly engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
