My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 194

This was certainly not a rat-catching demon spider!

When could an ordinary first rank demon beast silently control Tian Wenjin?

"What kind of demon beast is this?" Li Shiyin asked Tian Wenjin.

Tian Wenjin carefully examined the spider that was climbing up the web and eventually hung upside down from the top of the cave, observing its shape. She had a guess in her heart, but felt it was a little unbelievable.

"This... could this be a ghost-faced spider!?" she said very uncertainly.

"Ghost-faced spider?" Obviously, Li Shiyin did not know what kind of demon beast a ghost-faced spider was.

"The ghost-faced spider is not a demon beast, but a rather powerful type of spider in the Hengduan Mountains," Tian Wenjin said.

"Then..." Li Shiyin pointed to the black spider on the ceiling of the cave, which was as big as a human, and laughed. "How could that be an ordinary spider?"

Tian Wenjin was uncertain and puzzled, but still explained to Li Shiyin: "The ghost-faced spider is a very powerful forest spider that can prey on juvenile tigers and leopards. But it's not that big. A normal ghost-faced spider is about the same size as a cat or dog.

"Look at this spider. Its whole body is pitch black, its spider legs are very long, its abdomen has a ghost face on it, the shape is hideous and terrifying... Except for the size, it looks just like a ghost-faced spider."

After listening to this, Li Shiyin carefully examined the spider. She discovered that there really was a horrifying ghost-like pattern on its abdomen. That pattern was frightening to look at, giving off a feeling similar to Zhui Feng's "King" character pattern.

But Zhui Feng was a level 7... even level 8 demon beast. How could this broken spider compare with Zhui Feng?

She was thinking this, when the "ghost-faced spider" suddenly lit up the ghost face on its abdomen. It sprayed out a large clump of sticky fluid from its abdomen, and the fluid dispersed in the air like rain, sprinkling down towards the two people on the ground.

"Poison!" Tian Wenjin shouted out loudly to warn them.

Both were sword cultivators, and neither had the ability to stop the spray of poison coming towards them. They could only dodge to the side to avoid the coverage area of the poison.

Li Shiyin stopped in mid-air and turned back to look at the place where the poison landed on the ground. The poison that landed on the open ground did not cause much reaction, but the poison that landed on the spider web had some changes occurring.

But before she could carefully observe what specific changes were happening, the spider on the ceiling of the cave began spraying poison again.

She had no choice but to activate her movement technique to continue dodging...

At this time, she suddenly remembered how good her master was. She discovered that although her master's spells didn't provide much assistance in combat power, they were mysteriously useful in many situations. For example here, if her master was present, he could have simply used his bubbles to contain all that poison in a web, gaining lots of experiment material.

Although their sword cultivation attainments were extremely high, and they were also proud masters with lofty aspirations, in the current situation of unknown poison potency they did not dare to recklessly make contact with the poison, and were somewhat constrained for the moment.

"We have to get close!" Tian Wenjin shouted to her from the other side.

Li Shiyin nodded. She had the same idea.

The two quickly reached an agreement. They unleashed their figures, circling around to avoid the spray of poison in front, tracing two arcs to the sides, one blue-black and one purple-black, both headed towards the spider.

Getting near, the blue electric light went straight for the ghost face on the ghost-faced spider's abdomen, while the purple-black sword qi went straight for the top of the ghost-faced spider's head. Both were aimed at vital spots.

These two were talents with free-flowing natural endowments, and also proud masters with lofty aspirations. Joining forces now to deal with the ghost-faced spider, they inevitably developed a competitive heart.

But as the sword light rose up and the sword qi darkened, looking closely, neither of them succeeded. The spider had a total of eight spider legs. It sent out two, one left and one right, and accurately blocked both people's swords.

"Ding!"

Li Shiyin's sword qi clashed with the spider leg, making a clear ringing sound. The terrifying power from the spider leg was transmitted to her sword body, popping her back up into the air.

"Such great strength!" She couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Tian Wenjin's experience was not much different. She was also forced back by the spider leg. Tian Wenjin stabilized her figure in mid-air and said, "Such high defense!"

She gave another evaluation: "Already not inferior to a 4th rank demon beast!"

At this time, the big spider that had just repelled the two of them suddenly made a "hiss hiss..." sound, which sounded somewhat mocking.

Li Shiyin was enraged. Gripping her sword, she wanted to go forward again.

But that sound kept calling out, and as it continued calling out it also became sharp and shrill, hurting her eardrums and making her brain buzz. It made her stop.

And Tian Wenjin was even more uncomfortable over there. She held her head in extreme pain, almost unable to stay afloat in mid-air.

It was another spiritual attack! Li Shiyin immediately realized.

Seeing Tian Wenjin's pained appearance, she endured the discomfort and utilized Fei Xian Wen Dao, flashing over to the ghost-faced spider's side. Bringing her sword qi, she stabbed towards the ghost-faced spider with her sword.

The ghost-faced spider flicked away her sword qi with its spear-like spider leg. By this point, Li Shiyin finally threw caution to the wind and went all out, continuously sending out sword strikes accompanied by starlight towards the ghost-faced spider.

The shrill sound finally stopped. The ghost-faced spider also needed to go all out to respond to Li Shiyin.

It grasped the web with six of its legs to steady itself then used the other two legs as spears to attack Li Shiyin. The speed of these two legs was as fast as lightning, leaving behind countless afterimages, like countless long spears stabbing at Li Shiyin.

With the aid of her movement technique, Li Shiyin evaded the legs' vital strikes while also utilizing ranged sword qi to assist, and was thus able to fight evenly with the ghost-faced spider.

There were continuous "ding ding ding" sounds echoing in the cave, a person and a spider fighting intensely in mid-air.

[The Deception of Emperor Kangxi]

The shrieking sound passed. Tian Wenjin was finally able to catch her breath. She covered her head as she descended from mid-air, landing on the ground. Looking up, she watched the battle between Li Shiyin and the ghost-faced spider.

"Shiyin is truly formidable!" she acclaimed to herself.

The fleshly body strength of that ghost-faced spider was not inferior to an average 4th rank demon beast's, and it also had bizarre spiritual attacks. It was probably a slightly stronger 3rd rank demon beast, yet Li Shiyin was still evenly matched against it.

She rested for a bit until her headache alleviated somewhat, preparing to stand up and go help Li Shiyin.

But when she exerted strength into her foot to fly upwards, she discovered that she did not fly up at all. Instead it felt as if she was stepping on cotton, her strength suddenly vanishing.

She was greatly shocked. Hurriedly looking down, she finally noticed that when she had landed earlier, she hadn't paid attention and stepped onto the spider web. This spider web was contaminated with the ghost-faced spider's poison, making it extremely sticky. It had glued her onto the spider web!

The entire cave was filled with spider silk. Her current situation was like a butterfly caught in a spider web.

Tian Wenjin slashed out with her sword at the spider silk, but the silk was extremely tough and difficult for her to cut through. Testing under her feet again, she simply could not break away from the stickiness of this spider web.

How could she not feel like a despairingly struggling butterfly trapped in the spider web?

Tian Wenjin had no other choice. She could only slash apart the spider web bit by bit with her sword. But with one slash downwards, she suddenly sensed movement from above her head. Looking up in a hurry...

Over a dozen human corpses were suspended from the ceiling of the cave by spider silk. Right now, under some inexplicable force, those corpses all turned around to face Tian Wenjin's direction.

Then, under Li Shiyin's bright illumination pellet light, under Li Shiyin's purple sword radiance, in the sparks created by the clash between the Falling Star Sword and the spider legs, Tian Wenjin saw...

The abdomens of those human corpses were suddenly ripped open, and countless spiders crawled out from inside.

The little spiders were white, extremely small. Packed densely together, endless in number, they poured out from those dozen plus corpses as if mercury spilling to the ground, like a waterfall.

Just born, not yet able to spin webs, they dropped down one by one from midair, like a waterfall, like rain, like dumplings falling down. Innumerable little spiders descending continuously, connecting into lines, weaving into webs, drifting over indiscriminately and falling onto the spider web on the ground.

The densely packed little spiders swiftly crawled towards Tian Wenjin...

This terrifying and appalling scene frightened Tian Wenjin into standing stunned in place...
