Chapter 8: A mouth wide enough to fit a plump sausage
“Yuhao, is this your first soul skill?”
Tang Ya turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who was standing close by, her eyes filled with disbelief.
It was hard to imagine that his soul skill, which came from a ten-year-old baboon, could possess such powerful abilities.
Although it was only a support soul skill, it would play a crucial role for a soul master, and even an entire team!
Huo Yuhao nodded, “Sister, I’ve named these two skills Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing!”
“What?!”
“You mean, you gained two soul skills at once?!”
Tang Ya’s mouth dropped open in shock, wide enough to fit a plump sausage.
Huo Yuhao quickly covered her mouth and made a shushing gesture towards her.
“Sister, I only trust you, which is why I told you about my soul skills. You can’t tell anyone else, okay?!”
Huo Yuhao continued, “Although both Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing are support-type soul skills, their effects are just as their names suggest. Spiritual Detection is a reconnaissance and detection ability, while Spiritual Sharing allows me to share the effects of my Spiritual Detection.
Currently, Spiritual Sharing can reflect any subtle changes within a thirty-meter radius directly into my mind!”
Only after explaining did Huo Yuhao remove his hand from Tang Ya’s mouth.
Tang Ya’s lips were delicate; if she were eating chicken, one would surely feel the ultimate flutter of the tongue and the stimulation of the taste buds!
“Little brother, your luck is too good! I never thought a ten-year-old baboon could give you two soul skills, and such powerful ones at that. That’s amazing!”
Tang Ya said softly, a look of envy in her eyes, genuinely happy for her younger brother.
Huo Yuhao did not offer much explanation in response.
Besides Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, he also possessed Spiritual Interference and Soul Shock.
The former was an interference skill, and the latter was a soul attack skill that could cause a large amount of spiritual damage to enemies.
If she knew all of his soul skills, Tang Ya would probably be so envious she’d fly off the ground, causing unnecessary trouble!
Just then, a rustling sound echoed, and a huge snake, flicking its tongue, appeared before the three of them in front of Beibei.
“Is that a thousand-year Man-faced Demon Spider?”
Upon seeing this, Beibei immediately unleashed his martial soul, ready for battle at any moment!
Huo Yuhao, of course, recognized this unfortunate creature, which had been tormented by Tang San in Douluo Dalu 1 and now reappeared in Douluo Dalu 2.
Familiar with the original novel, Huo Yuhao also knew the characteristics of the Man-faced Demon Spider.
The Man-faced Demon Spider’s venom was extremely potent, not only having a paralyzing effect but also causing strong damage to the body’s nerves.
It was one of the most terrifying existences among poison-attribute soul beasts.
Furthermore, its body was incredibly tough, difficult to harm with ordinary blades, with only its mouth and eyes being weak points.
However, the Man-faced Demon Spider always protected these two areas very well, and its speed was incredibly fast.
Although Huo Yuhao knew these characteristics, he did not intend to tell Beibei, nor would he let Beibei use his support soul skills.
Although this thousand-year Man-faced Demon Spider was formidable, Beibei, with his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and his Soul Venerate cultivation, should be able to handle it!
An hour later, under the effect of his third soul skill, Thunderous Rage, Beibei was in a berserk state, with his lightning power increased by one hundred percent and his soul power by fifty percent.
Then, under the attack of his second soul skill, Thunderous Might, he coincidentally struck the Man-faced Demon Spider’s eye. The Man-faced Demon Spider collapsed to the ground, on its last breath!
After such a long battle, Beibei was also panting heavily, his soul power almost completely depleted.
At this moment, Tang Ya took out a dagger and delivered a fatal blow to the Man-faced Demon Spider!
A purple thousand-year soul ring slowly rose from the Man-faced Demon Spider’s body. Upon seeing this, Tang Ya immediately became excited, quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to absorb it.
Beibei and Huo Yuhao stood on either side of Tang Ya.
Beibei looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes no longer concealing his killing intent. He desperately wanted to secretly kill Huo Yuhao right now.
However, he was afraid that Tang Ya might suddenly wake up and blame him, which was why he had not acted yet.
Just as Beibei was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to get rid of Huo Yuhao, a sudden sound caught their attention.
Huo Yuhao’s eyes flickered, and he quickly activated his Spiritual Detection skill.
Under Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection, a strange giant spider appeared, with a main body diameter of over one and a half meters and eight spear-like long legs exceeding three meters.
The soul beast before them had an entirely black carapace, shiny and bright.
The front ends of its long legs were slender, silently piercing the ground with each step, indicating their sharpness.
On the spider’s abdomen were some white patterns, forming a stark contrast with its black body.
These white patterns formed a ferocious human face, and eight small eyes, glowing with a faint purple light, were tightly attached to its lower abdomen.
Hmm?
Isn’t this the old actor, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, from the Douluo series?
Fortunately, it was only a hundred-year-level Human-Faced Demon Spider. If it were a thousand-year one, they might still be able to resist it.
If it were a ten-thousand-year one, they would only be able to run as far as possible.
However, the probability of a ten-thousand-year soul beast appearing in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest was not high.
Upon seeing the Human-Faced Demon Spider appear, Beibei immediately released a lightning-formed protective shield between himself and Tang Ya.
His meaning was clear: we won’t interfere with each other. If you don’t attack me, I won’t provoke you.
As for anyone else, sorry, they’re not within my jurisdiction!
When the Human-Faced Demon Spider saw Beibei unleash his martial soul, out of its most direct instinct, it understood that Beibei was not easy to deal with. The other young man, however, looked frail and weak, so he should be no problem.
Thus, the Human-Faced Demon Spider set its sights on Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao never expected that Beibei would not only abandon him to his fate but also coldly watch him, as if he couldn’t wait for Huo Yuhao to be eaten by the Human-Faced Demon Spider!
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. It seemed a fierce battle was about to ensue.
Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger and glared at the Human-Faced Demon Spider before him.
At the same time, he unleashed his Spiritual Detection.
“Chirp, chirp!”
After setting its gaze on Huo Yuhao, the Human-Faced Demon Spider could no longer suppress its urge to devour him.
So, supported by its four hind legs, the Human-Faced Demon Spider leaped up, swiftly pouncing towards Huo Yuhao.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao possessed the Spiritual Detection soul skill. Under Spiritual Detection, even though the Human-Faced Demon Spider’s speed was very fast, its attack seemed to slow down in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.
