Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 4: The Plan Starts from the Heart

"Hmph~" Bibi Dong snorted. "If it was just to attract attention, why did it create the illusion that the Death Spider King was flying into the sky? Why not just let the Death Spider King fight you on the ground or evade and run away?"

"What your Holiness means is..." Yue Guan frowned.

"Could it be!" Ghostly asked in astonishment, "The beast's strange behavior is to prevent our martial soul fusion technique from covering the Death Spider King on the ground?"

"That's right! Although we were deceived by the illusion, the effect of the martial soul fusion technique will not! If we were still on the ground, the beast would definitely be enveloped, and maybe even the dreamland of life and death would not be able to continue!"

"So we were led away, and His Majesty was fighting the illusion again, and only that beast was happily devouring soul power..." Yue Guan lowered his head as he spoke, and so did Gui Mei. The two were extremely ashamed. The fact that they were outsmarted by a soul beast was really...

Bibi Dong exhaled a breath of fragrance: "The Soul Devouring Spider King is extremely rare, and there is not much information recorded about it. But it is called the Soul Devourer because of its famous growth method."

"But this beast is so cunning... so smart!" Yue Guan couldn't help but gasp.

“And he was very bold! Not only did he kill the Death Spider King and devour his soul power right under our noses in just ten minutes, but after Your Majesty saw through the illusion, he immediately created a clone with a 10-year soul bone to attract our attention again and lead all of us away…” Guimei’s eyes trembled, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.

"No! Old ghost, that beast didn't create a clone immediately. It has been hiding in the body of the Death Spider King. We can detect any movement immediately!" Yue Guan swallowed his saliva: "So it was prepared long ago!"

"If it was bolder, it might have expected that Your Majesty would be able to see through the illusion, so it had a backup plan... Wait! And the size!"

Yue Guan felt his heart tremble: "That 3-meter body size also misled us, making it impossible for us to recognize its true age and cultivation level. We never thought that its body could become the size of a small puppy!"

"We never thought that the beast would hide right under our noses..." Gui Mei sighed and closed his eyes. Is this true? A group of top soul masters in the entire continent were fooled by a soul beast?

"Elaborate planning, bold actions, and the willingness to use 10-year soul bones to lure us away from the mountain! Such courage... and finally a successful escape!"

"If we hadn't accidentally left that unlucky guy behind, we might have remained in the dark our entire lives!"

"I'll never know what happened here in my life..." Yue Guan felt her teeth aching and her legs couldn't help trembling. Although she looked a little nervous, she was indeed a little scared!

"Fortunately, Laogui and I did not rush to chase after it! Judging from the means displayed by that beast, Laogui and I might both die here!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Forget it, we are not returning empty-handed. Let's go back to the Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong gave the order helplessly and walked in the direction they came from. However, she was extremely uneasy in her heart:

"What a Soul Devouring Spider Emperor..."

The people from the Spirit Hall returned disappointed.

Far away from here, a slender dark green spider the size of a puppy was twisting and turning on the dense branch crowns, leaving behind poisonous and sticky spider webs and phantom clones from time to time running in other directions to obstruct and interfere with possible pursuit from behind.

after one day……

In an extremely secret underground cave, the little puppy, oh no, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Xiaodong finally breathed a sigh of relief after retracting the spiritual power that was spreading around him:

"It should be safe, right?"

"Wow~ It's so exciting to run after grabbing!"

Once a otaku on Blue Star, Xiaodong was lucky enough to be selected by the Qidian Orphanage and became a glorious member of the army of time travelers.

The method of time travel and the occupation in the previous life are not important, they are all in the past.

However, Xiaodong traveled to the Douluo Continent but he did not become like the other predecessors who traveled through time and space with twin or triple martial spirits, nor did he have the Green Lotus Pangu Axe, etc. He was not invincible at level 100 at the beginning, and he was not even a human!

It is a Soul-Eating Spider King that has been cultivating for one year!

He thought he was going to be in trouble, but unexpectedly he found out that he had a system. Before he could even start imagining how to show off and slap people in the face, this stupid system kept showing as not activated!

Xiaodong had no choice but to use the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor's talent to devour the soul power of soul beasts, as well as his human wisdom, to grow from a weakling to a soul beast with 8 years of cultivation. Oh, no, it should be 10 years of cultivation now.

The 10 year soul beasts in Douluo Continent do not mean they have lived for 10 years, and soul beasts of other years do not live that long either. You have to know that a soul master above level 1 can have a 50 year soul ring, and a Titled Douluo will have many soul rings of more than years. There are countless soul masters on this continent, and human history is at least several thousand years.

If you count, there are more soul beasts than enough to kill in Douluo Continent, and the soul beasts are also fighting among themselves.

What's more, the longer they live, no matter how strong they are, they must have a lot of life-saving skills. How could they be easily hunted by humans?

Therefore, the age of soul beasts in Douluo Continent refers to their cultivation, a unit of combat power, rather than years.

However, Xiaodong didn't remember how long he had lived in the Star Dou Forest, probably less than 10 years. He only remembered that he had been killing!

Hunting soul beasts, devouring their soul power to cultivate himself, become stronger, and continue killing. Of course, this does not mean that Xiaodong enjoys killing, but he is just trying to survive in this foreign land.

However, he has not hunted soul masters so far. It's not because he is kind-hearted, but because he is very clear how attractive his identity as the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor is to Bibi Dong. He will not come into contact with people easily to avoid exposing his existence, otherwise he will end up as the Death Spider Emperor.

Speaking of the Death Spider King, Xiaodong actually knew of the existence of this unlucky guy a long time ago. However, there was some gap in strength, and Xiaodong tended to be cautious. He would not easily take the risk to hunt a 10-year-old soul beast without certainty.

Just a year ago, he discovered the two Titled Douluo, Jue and Gui, who were representatives of the Spirit Hall. He came up with a plan and set up baits to lead the two step by step into the territory of the Death Spider Emperor without exposing himself. Sure enough, the two were ecstatic to discover the 2-year-old Death Spider Emperor. After Bibi Dong learned about it, she went out in person.

Xiaodong also took the opportunity to deduce the routes of action of all people and soul beasts, setting traps and replacing them with other things.
