Chapter 236 Purple Winged Spider Queen
In the original novel, the Purple Winged Spider King provided Bibi Dong with an external soul bone, the Six-Winged Purple Light Wing, a torso bone of 100,000 years, and the soul skill, Eternal Creation. Putting aside everything else, Eternal Creation alone is an extraordinary soul skill. Eternal Creation can ignore physical defense and directly strike the soul, making it a rule-based soul skill. If it weren't for this soul skill, Xiao Wu's mother might have had a chance to escape, after all, the invincible golden body of the Soft Bone Rabbit clan is truly formidable.
Most people would never guess where the Purple Winged Spider King lives. After all, although Sunset Forest is known as one of the three major gathering places for spirit beasts, the quality of the spirit beasts inside Sunset Forest is far inferior to that of the other two major gathering places. However, since the Spirit Hall's informant said that the Purple Winged Spider King is there, the possibility of possessing the Purple Winged Spider King is indeed very high.
For this Soul Hunt, Miguel brought Father Luke along again. After all, the Purple Winged Spider King's ability to hide in the Sunset Forest for so long is quite remarkable. Without Father Luke's help, no one knows how much time would have been wasted on such a Spider King!
It has to be said that being strong has its advantages; Father Luke found the Purple-Winged Spider King after a day of searching. After hearing Father Luke's explanation, Miguel couldn't help but sigh at how incredibly cunning the Purple-Winged Spider King was.
The Purple Winged Spider King, as its name suggests, is a spider with wings, but no one would have expected it to hide underground, which is completely contrary to its habits!
However, finding it was a good thing. After hearing the clue given by Father Luke, Bibi Dong immediately led the group toward the hiding place given by Father Luke.
Upon arriving at the location, Father Luke took the lead and pulled the Purple Winged Spider King out of the ground. The Purple Winged Spider King initially tried to resist, but faced with absolute power, all resistance was futile. After a period of loving education, the Death Spider King was allowed to give it a pep talk.
Although the two Spider Kings are of different races, they are both Soul Beasts and must have something in common. Besides, the treatment Miguel gives them is something that is hard to come by. To be honest, it would be impossible not to be tempted.
After the Death Spider King's personal testimony, the Purple Wing Spider King was also willing to sacrifice himself and abandon his physical body. The reason was simple: the soul beast race was really suffering too much.
In the early stages, soul beasts lack intelligence and can only cultivate based on instinct. Their cultivation speed is comparable to that of a tortoise, and they also have to worry about being hunted by other soul beasts and oppressed by powerful soul beasts. If they are not careful, they will die on the spot.
Once they gain intelligence, their cultivation speed will increase somewhat, but how much? Aside from those with superior bloodlines, most soul beasts can only endure their arduous lives. Furthermore, the development of intelligence in soul beasts is incredibly slow; most only acquire intelligence comparable to an adult human upon becoming a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Moreover, because they live in the forest year-round and rarely interact with the outside world, even with adult-like intelligence, they still cannot outwit cunning humans.
Even after cultivating into a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it doesn't mean everything is perfect! There aren't many soul masters in the Douluo Continent who can hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but there aren't many soul beasts that can become 100,000-year-old soul beasts either!
Take the Purple Winged Spider King itself, for example. It cultivated carefully for so many years and became a 100,000-year-old soul beast. But even though it was careful and kept its identity hidden, it was eventually found by the soul master. If it weren't for Miguel giving it a new life, it might not have had any chance of survival!
Those lucky 100,000-year-old soul beasts escaped the hunting of soul masters, but how many could escape the heavenly tribulation? In the eyes of the Purple Winged Spider King, it could survive the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation, but it had no confidence at all in the 200,000-year heavenly tribulation. Moreover, even if it barely survived the 200,000-year heavenly tribulation, wouldn't there be an even more terrifying heavenly tribulation waiting for it later?
