It's better if I keep talking to buy some time.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes slowly focussed on the venomous spider that was approaching her. However, her mind was racing as she casually said, "I didn't sense your scent before I fell, and we didn't trigger any form of traps. So, it's impossible for us to fall down so suddenly, unless there were some hidden triggers that we couldn't see. Even so, somebody would need to operate it. However, we were the only people in the tunnel and you weren't there... Do you mean to say that you have an ally among the exorcists?"
"You're smart, indeed." The venomous spider squinted and snarled, "Yet, it's a shame that you humans are always so easily tempted. Haha, since you're about to die, I don't mind breaking it to you. Someone among the exorcists is contaminated by the aura of resentment, and could easily be manipulated by demons. The other magical beings here might not have noticed it, but I've been residing in this royal tomb for over a millennium. Thus, I'm especially s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e toward these kinds of humans. Besides, one of you is not a living human anymore. Since all of you're going to die, it's better to let me do the honors."
Helian Wei Wei did not thoroughly analyze the meaning behind the venomous spider's words, because her mind was only focussed on stalling the time. Hence, she continued to question it, "If you want nothing but to eat me, wouldn't it be better for you to just show up in the tunnel and swallowed me whole instead? Why waste your time manipulating humans and playing hide and seek in the dark? Could it be that you're afraid of us?"
"Afraid?" The venomous spider snickered mockingly, as if it had heard a preposterous joke. Then, it replied, "I'll acknowledge that the man by your side was exceptionally powerful. If we really fought, I might not lose. However, I prefer to wait for my prey to fall into my web. Also, save your breath, if you think that you could buy some time so that man could come and save you! He would need to cross the entire royal tomb to reach this place that you fell from. Unless he could blast through all the stone walls, it would take him at least six hours to reach you, no matter how fast he is. Yet by then, not even your bones would be left! Woman, I already told you to keep your tricks to yourself. I'm usually not interested in eating normal humans like you, because you have no spiritual aura like those exorcists. However, now that I think of it, eating you after slicing your belly open doesn't seem like a bad idea, after all."
With that, the venomous spider licked its lips again. Unlike other animals, the sound it made was similar to the sound that was created when it spewed silk.
However, Helian Wei Wei simply concentrated on finding a solution. She had an exquisite silver gun hidden away under her right long sleeve, but she was hesitant to shoot the venomous spider. She might endanger herself if its venomous blood squirted all over her, and she needed to wait till it was close enough, so that she could shoot its fatal spot!
Chapter 777 - Superhuman Baby Beating The Spider Up
Nonetheless, its eight legs might be difficult to deal with. The black spider would probably deflect the bullets with one of its legs, and attack her abdomen with another when she pulled the trigger.
Later, Helian Wei Wei would find out that her hunch was right. When the black spider collapsed on her, all of its legs were awfully agile. It viciously gripped her broken arm with one leg, as it used the other seven to immobilize her shoulder or lash at her stomach.
As Helian Wei Wei was about to pull the trigger, the black spider was suddenly blocked by an unknown force. It was greatly befuddled, wondering what had happened.
Even two of its legs were cruelly severed.
"Argh!" The black spider emitted such a gruff outcry for the first time, as numerous spider webs shot out from its body. The pain was something that it had never experienced before, and caused it to stop moving. Its tiny eyes stared at its broken legs furiously, before darting toward Helian Wei Wei's abdomen, attempting to slash her stomach again.
This time, the unknown force was much stronger, ruthlessly throwing its entire body back and causing it to painfully crash on the ground.
Even with the protection of its webs, it was severely injured in the crash. Its organs were painful from the concussion, but the bitterness in its throat was also agonizing!
"Hmph! How dare you try to bully Mother, try that again and I'll teach you a lesson!" The fetus in her stomach already knew how to pick a fight. His voice was unique, being cold but adorable, while his posture was noticeably charming yet fiendish.
Unfortunately, no one could hear him, except for the smaller fetus.
"Big brother, you're so awesome!"
As the elder brother, there was nothing that made him prouder than being praised by the smaller fetus. He strutted with his little c.h.e.s.t out, before speaking in a cool manner, "Don't worry, your brother is here. I'll never allow that big, smelly, ugly spider to get close to you or Mother!"
"Yeah!" The smaller fetus nodded furiously. Although his body was weak, he was worried about his mother, so he carefully listened to the sound outside with his little ears.
The black spider tried to move its injured legs, but it was difficult to stand up again.
How long has it been, how long has it been... since I am in such a sorry condition!
Even if it encountered the best exorcists, it would eliminate them effortlessly.
What did this woman do just now?
She actually broke my legs!
This is unforgivable!
The venomous spider's eyes blazed red with anger. Then, it attacked more violently but ultimately… It was pushed back yet again. Not only that, it only had four legs remaining from the original eight.
The venomous spider was drenched in cold sweat, as this was the first time that it had encountered such a troublesome situation.
Maybe…I was wrong.
The one who deflected me away is not the woman!
It's her abdomen!
That's right, it must be her stomach!
The black spider's eyes were quivering violently, as it raised one of its remaining legs to point at Helian Wei Wei and said with a trembling voice, "What, what's in your tummy? A monster? No, impossible! I'm sure I smelled a whiff of appetizing spiritual aura. It should still be very weak. How, how could it be so powerful!"
Helian Wei Wei had also realized that the babies in her w.o.m.b were extraordinary.
However, Helian Wei Wei did not expect her unborn babies to be… so good in combat.
It was clear that he had triumphed over the venomous spider!
Furthermore, Helian Wei Wei was not sure if she had the wrong impression, but she felt that her baby had intentionally aimed at the venomous spider's legs. Perhaps, it was because the venomous spider looked ridiculous after losing a few legs.
As the old saying goes, no one knew a child better than his mother.
At that very moment, the bigger fetus pointed coolly at the venomous spider for the smaller fetus to see, saying, "Look at it, isn't it funny. Big brother will catch a venomous spider for you to play with when we get out. I'll break its legs, one by one, so that it can be your toy."
"Okay," the smaller fetus laughed.
These two kids had inherited their father's slightly twisted mentality...
Then, the venomous spider that was lurking in the shadow, had discovered the problem. It was very intelligent, quickly figuring out how to avoid the attacks. As long as it moved a little closer and spewed silk at her from a distance, the resilient spider web would strangle that woman to death.
However, it would destroy the fresh sweetness of its food. After all, after the mother had perished, the fetus would die half an hour later.
The venomous spider was still very cautious, because it did not know what kind of fetus was in her w.o.m.b, possessing such a powerful demonic aura.
It was not wrong, the aura from the woman's abdomen was definitely the demonic aura.
Yet, that was strange. It had distinctly smelled spiritual aura, but why did it turn into demonic aura when it approached her?
<
br /> The venomous spider did not know that once a high-level devil had made a contract with a human, the human's presence would veil the demonic aura of the devil. The same effect would apply for both the devil and the devil's child.
Therefore, the venomous spider was unable to see through the true form of Baili Jia Jue until now.
This was the reason for making the most regrettable decision in its life, that was trying to kill Helian Wei Wei.
The venomous spider narrowed its eyes, as its body shifted backward, wanting to use its silver thread to strangle Helian Wei Wei's neck.
Helian Wei Wei was cautious, she immediately noticed the venomous spider's movement and realized its intention. Thus, she was about to lift her legs...
When she heard a loud rumbling noise!
A shower of stones tumbled out from the left wall and smashed onto the four injured legs of the venomous spider. As plumes of dust erupted from the commotion, the venomous spider's lair utterly collapsed under the falling rocks. Then, a lean figure with strong ghoulish aura, shrouding him like a black mist, emerged from the curtains of dust. It made him seemed unreal, as if he had become one with the darkness.
It's him!
That man who should not be messed with!
He really came through the stone wall!?
He was covered in bloodstains. However, the venomous spider could smell that it was not human blood, but its children's and grandchildren's blood.
He merely stood there, with a pair of snowy white gloves over his slender hands. The edges of his sleeves and collar were exquisitely delicate, seeming like a 19th-century aristocrat. He also reminded others of the isolated snow on the highest peak, arrogantly cold but seemingly decorous.
However, the venomous spider knew that an overwhelming murderous intent was hiding under that perfect decorum.
Its inborn instinct told it to give up on attacking Helian Wei Wei. So, it turned to Baili Jia Jue, and spat venomous webs directly at him!
Chapter 778 - The Spider’s Regret
The venomous spider knew, the spider silk that it spat would surely break its opponent's neck, as long as it attacked him without warning. Thus, this man could never escape, no matter how powerful he was.
As expected, the silver thread instantly secured itself tightly around his neck.
"Hah! Looks like you're not so special after all?" The venomous spider stared at Baili Jia Jue, who was bound by its silk, and raised its four remaining limbs to touch the man's face. Previously, it thought that it would be challenging to deal with this man. After all, it had seen him thrashing through the stone walls. So naturally, he would probably be more difficult to deal with.
However, it did not expect that this person was dim-witted, despite being extremely capable. Since he was not smart enough to react, he had become its feast now.
The venomous spider burst into laughter, before squinting its eyes menacingly, and said, "You destroyed my place and even killed so many of my children and grandchildren! You could've walked out of this, but you chose to dig your own grave! Now, I'll let you watch how I disembowel you."
"Oh? Disembowel me?" Baili Jia Jue was smiling when he met the venomous spider's threatening gaze. His tone was seemingly casual, as if he was holding a conversation and had never been so easy-going.
Helian Wei Wei could not bring herself to look at the venomous spider anymore. This magical being clearly did not even know that the more approachable His Highness seemed, the more terrifying it would be when he struck...
"Big brother, is that spider seeking death?" The smaller fetus glanced at the bigger fetus.
The bigger fetus returned the gaze calmly and said, "Do you know how twisted Father can be?"
The smaller fetus shook his tiny head, replying, " No." Are you trying to condemn father again?
"The more you despise something, the more he'll make you do it. Alternatively, he'll make sure to let you do whatever you want to do to the fullest." The bigger fetus scorned as he said this, "He'll use all kinds of shameless methods. However, that spider is ridiculously stupid, daring to laugh at Father, the Great Demon King."
Smaller fetus was speechless… So, you just want to condemn Father. Sigh, you keep criticizing him. Big brother, is it your priority to fight against Father when you get out of here?
The black spider did not realize that it had offended a person that it should not have. As it raised its limbs, it tightened the spider silk that it spat and roared, "Die!"
"Personally, I greatly dislike dirty and sticky things because they make me feel... disgusted." After delivering the final word, the air surrounding Baili Jia Jue became depleted instantly, turning the entire area into a vacuum.
Suddenly, something dark seeped out from the earth where he stood...
The black spider did not expect that the spider webs around the man would melt into a pool of water in the blink of an eye.
This had never happened before.
The venomous spider held its remaining four limbs, as it watched the scene unfolding upon it in pure horror.
Extremely dangerous!
That man is exceptionally dangerous!
Its eyes widened in shock, as every hair on its body stood from the fear.
I must escape, or I'll be killed!
I must not breathe as well.
Even the sound of my breathing will get me killed.
The venomous spider did not understand why it would have such reactions. If it was a little older, or a stronger devil, it would know that this was the admiration that magical beings had toward their king. Respect and fear toward him would run through your veins once one became a magical being.
Leave! Leave this place... The venomous spider's mind was flooded by this thought. In an instant, it started to take flight but...
An excruciating pain abruptly seized its body!
Before it could see what happened, the man was already stomping it with his feet when the pain struck.
That's right, it was stepped on!
Unlike the dirty and smelly shoes that most people entered here with, the black boots that were pinning it down now were spotless and had flawless workmanship. It also gave off an indescribable sandalwood fragrance.
However, that was not the important point.
Most importantly, it was five times the weight and size of a normal human. Logically speaking, it would be impossible to suppress it by force, unless it was a magical being that was much more enormous than it was.
Yet, this man…
He could stomp it to the ground with just one foot.
Besides, it seemed like its rib cage were all fractured.
"Should I continue beating you up? " Then, the devil smiled again.
All of a sudden, black feathers appeared out of nowhere, fluttering carelessly in the air. It was a bewitchingly beautiful sight to behold.
Following that, a black fog escalated and the unpredictable man strode closer to the venomous spider while he was circled by feathers and his eyes glistened sinisterly in whitish gold just like that of a feline's pupils and his eyes emitted an icy glow when he narrowed them and that made the venomous spider stood rooted to the spot!
When the enormous venomous spider saw Baili Jia Jue's whitish golden eyes, its knees gave way and it crumpled to the ground. Then, it curled its body up, as his face displayed unprecedented respect and fear.
"No, no more!"
How could it be him?
The one who ruled over the darkness and fancied in playing with others' minds. He was the king that must be worshipped, even if it were to live for another thousand years.
He... Why is he here?
My god, what have I done earlier. I actually provoked the king, who is known for his terribly brutal methods!
The venomous spider was filled with regret.
Yet, its remorse was of no use to Baili Jia Jue. He bent to lift Helian Wei Wei up and put her on the soft feathers. Then, he glanced at the terrified spider, with his lips curled into a b
loodthirsty grin, and said, "What should I do? I still want to destroy you."
As he said that, Baili Jia Jue smiled and bit off his black gloves with his fangs. Then, he chuckled repeated as he squinted, his pupils completely golden.
The venomous spider felt as though its heart was squashed into a ball, as it begged pitifully under its exoskeleton, "King... I-I didn't know it was you. Please have mercy on me, since we're all magical beings!"
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue acted as if he had heard a hilarious joke and continued, "You're asking me to spare you?"
The venomous spider's gigantic head nodded furiously!
"Hah." Baili Jia Jue curled his thin lips, as he grabbed one of its limbs before forcefully tightening his grip, "You harmed my most valued possession, and yet you dared to ask for my mercy!"
Snap!
The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed through the air.
Baili Jia Jue blew his palm, before flinging the massive venomous spider into the air. Then, he leaped up, amidst his fluttering mantle. He slightly bent his long, elegant legs and violently crushed the sixth limb of the venomous spider, growling, "She's my most prized possession, yet you wanted to devour her?"
No matter how enormous the spider was, it could not endure the physical and mental torture.
Eventually, the venomous spider was on the verge of breaking down after beaten up by him. It was whining and biting onto its lips tearfully, it would rather die than continue to be tortured by him.
Baili Jia Jue laughed again, although his eyes were dead cold without any hint of warmth, and asked, "Hmm? Did you say you merely thought about it? You won't really dare to take action?"
Chapter 779 - She Was My Prey, You Should Not Even Think About It
The venomous spider nodded furiously as it gazed at Baili Jia Jue with tears in its eyes.
