Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Poisoned and Comatose
After being wounded, the Man-Faced Demon Spider not only did not give up, but became even crazier, leaving Li Xuanji helpless. The poison on the spear was almost ineffective against a poison expert like the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The human-faced demon spider is like a replica of itself. It has a solid shell, incredibly fast speed, and eight long legs with extremely strong penetrating power and extremely poisonous. The most terrifying thing is its spider web.
The webs of ordinary spiders are made by spinning silk, but this one is different, its web is directly sprayed out. Not only is it extremely sticky, but it is also extremely tough, and it contains a terrifying neurotoxin.
Given Li Xuanji's current state, it would be difficult for him to break free from the web of the human-faced demon spider in a short period of time. He could only use the holy shield to defend himself, but Li Xuanji himself could not attack while defending. This was the biggest drawback of the holy shield.
If Li Xuanji took the initiative to attack, he would have to remove the sacred shield. Facing the eight poisonous spider legs of the human-faced demon spider, he could not defend himself at all. And Li Xuanji could not break free from the spider web in a short time.
Obviously, the human-faced demon spider's cultivation was not as good as Li Xuanji's, but it was very uncomfortable to fight it and he was completely unable to deal with it.
This is the disadvantage of not having powerful means of attack, and offensive soul skills are necessary.
"What hatred, what grudge!"
After half an hour, Li Xuanji was already exhausted and out of breath, and most of his soul power was consumed. He still couldn't get rid of the human-faced demon spider completely. After going around in circles, Li Xuanji returned to the starting point and picked up the spear he had thrown out.
"Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish."
Stopping, Li Xuanji threw out the broken net in the storage ring, and the human-faced demon spider spit out a poisonous spider web to block the web thrown by Li Xuanji.
Li Xuanji was wearing three layers of inner armor. He removed the outermost layer and wrapped it around his left arm. If necessary, it could be used as a shield to resist the attack of the human-faced demon spider.
There is still something missing in the storage ring. Next time I must prepare a shield and a knife.
If you have a knife, it wouldn't be that difficult to deal with the man-faced demon spider. You can just cut off its legs. But using a spear would be much more troublesome.
Every weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses. Every weapon has its own characteristics and will be effective in different environments.
With all his strength, using the second, third and fourth soul skills at the same time, Li Xuanji's face was already flushed, and he was possessed by an angel spirit. The wings behind him spread out, and the spear in his hand flew up and down, attacking the human-faced demon spider fiercely.
Li Xuanji was very good at using the spear to smash, stab and chop, but the human-faced demon spider had eight long legs, making it difficult to deal with.
Soul masters can sense the strength of soul beasts within a certain range, and soul beasts can also sense the strength of soul masters.
The strength of the human-faced demon spider in front of him was originally inferior to Li Xuanji, but it was persistent in chasing Li Xuanji only because Li Xuanji was injured. That kind of sacred aura was what evil soul beasts like them hated the most.
The spear's chopping and smashing could not really hurt the human-faced demon spider. Only the stabbing was the most powerful and could break through the defense of the human-faced demon spider's shell. However, the human-faced demon spider was immune to the toxins on the spear, so it was difficult for Li Xuanji to cause effective damage to it.
In desperation, Li Xuanji used the inner armor wrapped around his left arm to block the human-faced demon spider's front legs from stabbing down, while at the same time using the spear in his right hand to slash fiercely.
The upper body of the human-faced demon spider was lifted up by the spear, and its lower abdomen was naturally exposed. The ferocious human face formed by white lines instantly enlarged in front of Li Xuanji, and the six purple eyes that were still open were filled with cold and terrifying light.
This is the weak point of the human-faced demon spider. Using all his soul power, the spear pierces the human-faced demon spider's eyes, and the transparent protective film on it is as if it does not exist.
"Violence~"
The human-faced demon spider screamed and its eight long legs stabbed at Li Xuanji frantically.
At this moment, Li Xuanji calmed down instead, and used more force with his right hand to pierce the human-faced demon spider from the back, pinning it to the ground. His left hand kept waving to block the attack of the long legs of the human-faced demon spider, while speeding up the circulation of his soul power to improve his body's defense, and quickly retreated.
"Poisoned."
Because he was wearing two layers of inner armor, the human-faced demon spider's long legs that were intended to stab Li Xuanji's vital parts failed to hit the target. Instead, one of its long legs that was swung around randomly scratched Li Xuanji's calf.
The vitality of this human-faced demon spider was also extremely tenacious. Even though it was nailed to the ground, it did not give up resistance. Purple light and blue liquid continued to flow out of its body as it struggled violently. However, because it was nailed to the ground upside down, the eight spider legs could not find a fulcrum at all and could not escape the current predicament.
Li Xuanji quickly stepped back more than ten steps, pressed his hands on the wound to squeeze out the poisonous blood, applied an antidote externally, swallowed the antidote, and used his soul power to suppress the toxins in his body.
The poison of the human-faced demon spider is extremely terrifying. Later, the golden generation of the Soul King realm were stabbed by Tang San's Eight Spider Lance and were instantly poisoned. Now Li Xuanji's universal antidote is not so omnipotent.
Even though Li Xuanji's martial spirit was an angel, he could only hold on with difficulty. However, the internal injuries caused by Tang Sun's hammering were stimulated by the poison of the human-faced demon spider and exploded. Sweating profusely, Li Xuanji felt weak all over, as if he was about to die, and his eyes opened and closed as if he was about to fall asleep.
As his consciousness became blurred, Li Xuanji saw the life of the human-faced demon spider gradually fade away, and dots of blue-purple light began to condense above its body. If it died, I would die too.
I died in the hands of a soul beast!
I am unwilling to accept this. I haven't done anything yet!
I don't want to die. I want to live!
But Li Xuanji slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground weakly. The poison of the human-faced demon spider had already spread from his calves to his abdomen, leaving only Li Xuanji's remaining soul power to struggle to resist.
This is how life is, many things cannot be changed by will.
...…
"Where is he? Why haven't we found him yet? This kid is too good at running!"
In the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, a thin middle-aged Soul Saint appeared with his martial spirit in his hand, which was a black dagger more than one foot long, and under his feet were seven soul rings of yellow, purple, and black.
"I hope I wasn't eaten by a ten-thousand-year soul beast. But it's not bad to get a ten-thousand-year soul bone. I'll just be punished by the great priest!
Anyway, no one has seen me. After I came here, I didn't find Li Xuanji at all. I searched for him in the Xingdou Great Forest for a long time but couldn't find him.
Yes, even such a great priest cannot hold me responsible for my dereliction of duty, after all, I haven't even seen the person!
There will be no punishment like this, and I'll get a ten thousand year soul bone for nothing!"
"It's a pity. That kid is a genius, but too talented. He may threaten the young master's position. No wonder the chief priest didn't protect you."
After muttering a few words, the middle-aged man found an excuse for himself and then walked towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. It was safer there, unlike the inner circle where there were a lot of ten thousand year soul beasts, and even a soul saint like him could not stand a riot.
