Chapter 82: Female Lead? Something’s Not Right!
Chapter 82 - 82: Female Lead? Something’s Not Right!After devouring the Fire Cloud Rhino-Armored Bull, Fang Chang continued on his way, but this time he cautiously activated his "Stealth" state.
After all, this was already the third ring of the Star Dou Great Forest, where the likelihood of encountering powerful soul beasts was much higher than in the outer areas. If he were ambushed by a high-level soul beast lurking in the shadows, even he wouldn't fare well.
As Fang Chang walked, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching from the south. He quickly maintained his "Stealth" state and hid behind a giant tree.
The aura grew stronger and closer, and soon a white figure came into view.
A Man-Faced Demon Spider? Fang Chang's expression grew strange as he observed the figure.
She was about four meters long, with eight spider legs each over five meters long. As she moved swiftly through the forest, the pattern on her abdomen, resembling a human face, became faintly visible.
These were the most distinctive features of a Human-Faced Demon Spider, but her color wasn't the usual purple-black. Instead, she was a pure, snow-white color.
She was a mutated Human-Faced Demon Spider, Fang Chang realized.
Race: Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen (Mutated)
Soul Power: 45,600 years
HP: 5,210/12,700
Strength: 2,693
Attack: 2,881
Defense: 2,345
Speed: 2,997
Checking her stats confirmed it—she was indeed a mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen. Moreover, judging from the pheromones she emitted, she was female. Fang Chang was ecstatic!
However, this mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen didn't seem to be in good condition. She had several serious injuries, especially on her back, where a broken human sword was still embedded.
Her HP stat also supported Fang Chang's observation—it was less than half, clearly indicating she had just been through a fierce battle.
Seeing this, Fang Chang was puzzled. While Man-Faced Demon Spiders weren't top-tier soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape, they were still among the stronger species.
This mutated Human-Faced Demon Spider Queen, with a soul power of over 45,000 years, should have few rivals in the Star Dou Great Forest. How could she have been injured so badly?
Moreover, judging from her wounds, it seemed she had been injured by humans, which was even more puzzling.
The mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen entered the forest where Fang Chang was hiding, found a dark spot, and her figure gradually blurred and disappeared.
Fang Chang was very familiar with this move—it was "Concealment," one of the signature skills of the Man-Faced Demon Spider and the precursor to his current "Stealth" skill, which had saved him many times.
Shortly after, three human Soul Masters rushed into the area. They were dressed in black robes, armed with weapons, and exuded a fierce aura.
Hmph! Three Soul Douluos. Quite the extravagant lineup.
With just a glance, Fang Chang could see their stats. They were indeed three Soul Douluo-level experts.
The strongest among them had reached level 87, while the weakest was level 82.
Their robes resembled those of the Spirit Hall. It seemed only they could afford to send three experts of this level into the Star Dou Great Forest at once.
Seeing them, Fang Chang immediately understood how the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider had been injured.
The three men carefully surveyed the area. They could sense that the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider they had been chasing for so long was nearby, but they couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
"This Man-Faced Demon Spider is so cunning. We
He struggled to stand and escape, but he found his body covered in a sticky mucus that severely slowed his movements.
This was Fang Chang's "Slippery" skill, which had finally come in handy.
Seeing the Soul Master, now defenseless, Fang Chang walked straight toward him. As he passed by, a spider leg silently pierced the man's chest.
The last remaining Soul Master, Scarface, had completely lost his will to fight after witnessing the fate of his companions.
Facing two terrifying spider soul beasts, his fate was sealed. He didn't last long before falling to their combined assault.
After the battle, Fang Chang turned to the mutated Man-Faced Demon Spider Queen, about to speak, when he noticed an unusual blush spreading across her face.
"Thank you for saving me, my lord. Please allow me to bear your offspring," her voice echoed in Fang Chang's mind, startling him so much that he stumbled backward, nearly falling to the ground.
