Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 23 Favors
"Oscar, are you okay?" Yun Yi asked Oscar, who was covered in dust.

Oscar shook his head, wiped the dust off his face, handed a sausage to Yun Yi, and said with lingering fear, "It's okay."

Yun Yi took it and swallowed it slowly. At this time, Tang San, with a distraught look on his face, slowly came to Yun Yi and Oscar. Oscar hurriedly handed Tang San a recovery sausage, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't say it in the end.

Yun Yi looked at Tang San with his eyes slightly narrowed. At this time, Zhao Wuji also slowly walked over, gently patted Tang San's shoulder, and said softly, "Tang San, please accept my condolences..."

"Xiao Ao, can you give me a mushroom sausage?" Tang San's voice was low but extremely firm.

Yun Yi looked at Tang San. At this moment, Tang San's eyes had turned blood red, and his eyes were full of sharpness.

"Xiao Ao, give me one too." Yun Yi said lightly.

"What do you want to do!" Zhao Wuji's powerful voice rang out.

"Teacher Zhao, let him go. I'm very familiar with this place. If it doesn't work, I can help you bring him back." Yun Yi said softly, without any emotion in his voice.

Zhao Wuji looked at Yun Yi and thought for a moment. With the Titan Ape's speed of leaping a hundred meters, even Oscar's mushroom sausage would not be able to catch up. If he didn't let Tang San, this stubborn guy, go, Tang San would obviously not give up according to his current state.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly and said, "Oscar let them do it. Yun Yi, remember, it is impossible to bring Tang San back. You understand what I mean."

After saying that, Zhao Wuji turned his gaze to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi nodded lightly. Being familiar with the plot, he naturally knew that Tang San could not be in any danger, and his trip was just to prevent him from obtaining soul bones.

Through what happened just now, Yun Yi also understood that even though Xiao Wu called him "Little Yi" every day, she was still a soul beast after all. According to Yun Yi's original estimation, even if Xiao Wu didn't like Yun Yi's behavior, she would not do anything to her because they went to Notting College together. Facts showed that Yun Yi was still a little naive.

"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. You asked me to review it again."

Since he already regarded Xiao Wu as his mortal enemy, Yun Yi would naturally not let Tang San obtain the external spirit bone.

Then the two of them took the mushroom sausages handed over by Oscar and swallowed them at the same time, heading towards the direction where the Titan Ape was leaping up.

……

Not long after, Tang San leaned against a big tree and gasped for breath. Yun Yi also fell beside him without saying a word.

"Xiao Yi, what range are we in now?" Tang San asked after taking out the water bag from his soul guide and taking a sip.

Hearing this, Yun Yi said calmly, "We have basically entered the territory of the thousand-year soul beasts. If we go deeper, we will be able to see weaker ten-thousand-year soul beasts."

Suddenly, a sparse sound in the jungle reached Yun Yi's ears, and then Yun Yi pretended to be serious and said, "Xiao San, something is coming."

As the sound got closer, a huge spider emerged from the jungle.

"The human-faced demon spider." Yun Yi pretended to be solemn and said. Yun Yi would not even touch this kind of soul beast. It was not edible and was poisonous. The shell on its body was very hard and even Zhuge Crossbow might not be able to penetrate it.

Yun Yi summoned his Wuji Stick and said to Tang San calmly, "Go ahead, I'll take care of it."

Hearing this, Tang San looked at Yun Yi and said with a moved heart, "Xiao Yi, as long as I, Tang San, don't die this time, I will always remember your favor."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go." Yun Yi couldn't help but urge. He didn't want this thing that might produce external soul bones to be obtained by Tang San.

Tang San nodded with emotion, mobilized his Xuan Tian Gong internal force, and walked towards the distance in a ghostly manner.

At this time, the human-faced demon spider not far from Yun Yi also made a move, and a spider web suddenly covered Yun Yi.

Seeing this, Yun Yi kicked with one foot and rushed towards a big tree beside him, looking like a monkey in the mountains.

"It's hard to deal with this thing without a blunt weapon." Yun Yi murmured, then jumped up from the tree trunk, using inertia and his own powerful strength to attack the human-faced demon spider.

The Wuji stick made a loud sound of breaking through the air when it was swung, and the human-faced demon spider was also very agile and used its spider spear to avoid Yun Yi's attack.

Yun Yi’s powerful strength even caused the head of the Wuji stick to sink deeply into the ground.

"This thing is really troublesome. In close combat, it is easy to be attacked by poisonous spider webs and numerous spider spears. But if you keep a distance, this beast will be able to react to your attacks." Yun Yi murmured as he looked at the human-faced demon spider that was ready to attack not far away.

In this situation, the benefits of long-range attacks become apparent.

"It seems that I have to develop it myself. For example, Qianjun Jiangmo using his stick as a javelin can indeed make up for the lack of long-range ability to a certain extent." Yun Yi thought, and another spider web covered Yun Yi, and eight spider spears moved quickly towards Yun Yi.

Yun Yi suddenly retreated and kept a relatively safe distance from the human-faced demon spider.

"Cunning beast." Yun Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. After so many years in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yun Yi was well aware of the cunningness of soul beasts. The thousand-year-old soul beasts had already developed some simple tactics. The spider web just now was obviously a trap. If Yun Yi had rushed towards the human-faced demon spider and tried to kill it at the moment of avoiding the spider web, what would be waiting for Yun Yi would definitely be a bigger, thicker, and more toxic spider web.

As long as Yun Yi stands on the tree, the spider web of the human-faced demon spider will never pose any threat to Yun Yi.

"Forget it, let's just watch it like this. The dragon man and the snake woman should be here with the little girl soon. But this one seems to be a little over the age limit."

Yun Yi had no intention of absorbing the spirit ring produced by the spider. Even if it was possible to produce an external spirit bone, that was only a possibility. Being able to produce it on Tang San did not mean that Yun Yi could do it, so it seemed like a good idea to leave it to the Dragon King and the Snake Queen as a favor.

At this time, the human-faced demon spider let out a slight whistle, as if it was trying to intimidate Yun Yi. Then Yun Yi saw the human-faced demon spider turn around and drill into the jungle on the other side.

"Want to leave?" Yun Yi slightly curled the corners of his mouth and leaped towards another tree. Just like before, he swung a chopping stick that fell from the sky towards the head of the human-faced demon spider. The angle of Yun Yi's attack was very tricky. He attacked from the air. With Yun Yi's speed, if the human-faced demon spider wanted to spit out a web from its mouth, the time it took to raise its head would be enough for Yun Yi to send it to hell.

The carapace, which is difficult to be damaged by sharp weapons, is very vulnerable to blunt weapons. Even if the defense cannot be broken, the shock force caused by the collision can destroy the body structure from the inside.

"Stop!" A rather heroic shout sounded, and Yun Yi immediately withdrew half of his strength. The Wuji Stick tilted slightly, instantly breaking the two spider spears of the human-faced demon spider. Under the powerful force and pain, the human-faced demon spider immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground.

"Hiss..." The shrill cry sounded particularly harsh in the night.

At this time, Yun Yi retracted his martial spirit and shifted his gaze over. The people who came were the Dragon Man, the Snake Woman and his granddaughter.

Seeing this, Yun Yi also stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Senior Snake Lady, Sister Meng, we meet again. I guess this is Senior Long Gong."

Meng Yiran and the snake woman naturally recognized Yun Yi. Meng Yiran immediately took the hand of the old man beside him and said, "Grandpa, that's him. He stole my spirit ring."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lord Long's eyes instantly locked onto Yun Yi.

Yun Yi said helplessly, "Sister Meng, how can you say that? I didn't absorb that spirit ring. It's just that the teacher asked me to fight with you. If you don't mind, this human-faced demon spider is also very good. If it's suitable, leave it to me. It can be regarded as a little compensation."

Hearing this, Meng Yiran snorted softly and said, "Grandpa originally chased this human-faced demon spider because of what he saw."

Yun Yi pretended to be enlightened and said, "I see. But Senior, I don't recommend that you let Sister Meng absorb the spirit ring here."

"Why?" Duke Long asked doubtfully.

"Senior Snake Lady and Sister Meng also know that I came here with a teacher from the academy. It's quite an unusual thing as we just encountered the Titan Giant Ape and I was separated from my teachers and classmates. Although the two seniors are very powerful, for the sake of Sister Meng's safety, we should still capture this human-faced demon spider alive and find a secluded place to absorb it." Yun Yi said seriously.

The Dragon Man and the Snake Woman were immediately surprised and nodded slightly, saying, "That's right."

The kindness shown by Yun Yi also made Meng Yi feel a little embarrassed. She just wanted to ask her grandfather to teach Yun Yi a lesson.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I still have to look for the surviving teachers and classmates." Yun Yi said, bowing slightly towards the three people.

The Dragon Man and the Snake Woman nodded. When Yun Yi was about to turn around and leave, Meng Yi called out to him.

"Hey, why don't you come with us."

Yun Yi smiled and shook his head slightly, "I still want to look for teachers and classmates outside. Don't worry, the soul beasts here can't do anything to me. Thank you Sister Meng for your concern."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran's face flushed unnaturally, but she didn't say anything.

Yun Yi glanced at the broken spider leg on the ground and reminded, "Two seniors, I have something to say. This spider leg seems to be a bit long."

"Grown? What does that mean?" Duke Long asked in confusion.

“Senior, please don’t get me wrong. The cultivation level of the human-faced demon spider can be seen from the length of its legs. The legs of this human-faced demon spider are more than three meters long, which is a sign that its cultivation level has exceeded two thousand years. According to the absorption limit of the third ring, it is one thousand seven hundred years. It may be dangerous for Sister Meng to absorb it.” Yun Yi said softly.

"Boy, you are not trying to scare us, are you?" Lord Long narrowed his slightly cloudy eyes.

“How dare I? I’m already a Three Souls Soul Master and I don’t need a soul ring. There’s no reason for me to lie to you. Just now, Sister Meng was concerned about me, so I took a closer look at the spider legs.” Yun Yi said helplessly.

"Okay, Grandpa, he was just kindly reminding me..." Meng Yiran interrupted Lord Long who was about to ask more questions, but his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

The Dragon Man and the Snake Woman smiled at each other upon seeing this, both looking at their granddaughter with amusement on their faces.

"If the two seniors are alright, Rong will leave first. See you later, Sister Meng."

After saying that, Yun Yi slowly left and headed towards where the Shrek people gathered.

……

After Yun Yi left, the Dragon Father and the Snake Mother took their granddaughter to another direction to continue searching for a new spirit ring for her.

The snake woman led her granddaughter by the hand, and saw that she was a little dazed, "Yi Ran, what are you thinking about?"

Meng Yiran came back to her senses and said quickly, "Nothing... nothing."

Lord Long smiled and said, "Yi Ran, what do you think of that boy?"

Meng Yiran snorted and said, "Not very good."

"Oh? Really? I think he's pretty good. He's capable, polite, and knows how to repay kindness. He's quite like my grandfather when he was young." Duke Long said with a smile.

Meng Yiran rolled his eyes at his grandfather and said, "Then why did you deliberately kill the soul beast and take us to hide in the dark to see if the kid would come back?"

"Ahem... ahem, you are such an ungrateful girl. Grandpa is afraid that you will be deceived by a bad guy. What if that guy is playing tricks on us?"

"If he was really a bad guy, there would be no need for him to tell you the power of the human-faced demon spider. Your granddaughter would probably explode immediately after absorbing it." Meng Yiran said.

Duke Long laughed and said, "Girls can't be kept when they grow up. Our little Yi Ning has grown up too."

"Grandpa!" Meng Yiran couldn't help but say with a blushing face.

"Okay, okay... Grandpa won't say any more. After we go back, let's first find out about this Shrek Academy." Duke Long said with a smile.

Meng Yiran blushed and said nothing when he heard this.
