Douluo: Soul Devouring Spider King

Chapter 5 Transformation

As for the process of this vicious plan, it was roughly as Bibi Dong said, but it was not to use the dream of life and death instantly when attacking the unlucky guy, but to launch it quietly when the Death Spider Emperor was severely injured by the ghost's 8th soul skill, stirring up a black mist.

The sneak attack on the unlucky guy is just to attract the attention of Bibi Dong and others. Even if it is only for a few seconds, it can make the illusion of the Death Spider King fly as high as possible!

In addition, although it is not set in the original work, Xiaodong, who became the Soul-Eating Spider King, possessed the ability to change his body shape. So he turned into the size of a puppy, hid in the body of the Death Spider King, and devoured his soul power.

In order to ensure his safety, he smeared a kind of pollen that conceals his scent on his body early on. He discovered this by accident in the Star Dou Great Forest. With his small body, he often used it to ambush and hunt soul beasts to help them grow.

In short, Xiaodong made sufficient preparations for this vicious plan, and even reluctantly gave up a 10-year soul bone. He took advantage of Bibi Dong and others' arrogance as top powerhouses, their laxity after a successful hunt, their contempt for soul beasts, and their carelessness due to their lack of understanding of themselves. His hard work paid off, and he successfully snatched the head!

My soul power cultivation has reached 10 years!

So the next step is:

Transform!

That's right, Xiaodong decided to transform. Although as the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor he had unique talents and growth rate, the unlucky Death Spider Emperor reminded him that even the nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the original novel was still killed by Gua San.

After all, soul beasts cannot compete with soul masters who have many tricks up their sleeves.

Moreover, compared to the 'Soul Devouring Talent', the most powerful trump card for a traverser is undoubtedly the system!

Even though the system has been showing as inactive, and Xiaodong doesn’t even know the name and function of the system, he will definitely take himself to show off and fly!

In addition, he guessed that the reason why the system was not activated might be because he was not yet a human being.

"But you can't transform in the Star Forest."

Having lived here for so many years, Xiaodong is very clear about how dangerous it is here. Even a 10-year-old soul beast cannot walk around freely. And according to the setting, soul beasts will become weaklings with only level 10 soul power after transforming. Oh, that's not right!

He is a 'genius' with innate full soul power.

"It's impossible for a lone genius like this to walk out of the Star Forest alive!"

Restraining the urgency of transforming immediately, Xiaodong looked at the cave that had accompanied him for many years and said, "It's time to move."

After taking some time to consolidate his newly acquired soul power, Xiaodong decided to set off.

With its nimble spider legs, it took advantage of the night to quickly reach the periphery from the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest. During the process, its mental power was always in an expanded state to observe the area within a radius of 10 kilometers, trying its best to avoid all soul masters and high-level soul beasts.

He stopped at the periphery, and a pair of spider eyes showed hesitation: "I originally planned to transform at the periphery, but I only passed down the soul beast transformation method and a rough number of days in my mind."

Although the periphery is not as dangerous as the inside, that is relative. Most of the souls here are soul beasts that have cultivated for thousands of years, and there are even more soul masters!

“Even though they are all weaklings at level 30 or 40… No! The Xingdou Great Forest is still a bit dangerous, and Bibi Dong will definitely not give up. I have to stay away from her at this stage!”

The further away the better!

He looked at the night sky and moved his spider legs away from the stars, trying to avoid contact with soul masters and villages as much as possible.

a few days later.

Xiaodong, who had been sneaking along the way, finally came to a very small forest. Of course, this was compared to the Xingdou Great Forest. He spread out his mental power:

"There are no thousand-year-old soul beasts. They are all hundreds of years old. Although there are many ferocious ones like tigers, wolves, leopards, etc., they are not a big threat. It's just that..."

Xiaodong's mental power detected a human-faced demon spider with 900 years of cultivation!

The human-faced demon spider is notorious both in the world of soul beasts and soul masters, and all kinds of descriptions of evil can be applied to it.

But if it were in Xingdou, Xiaodong would not even look at this little Gou Ba who didn't even have cunning intelligence. He could ambush and kill the human-faced demon spider with a thousand-year cultivation when he had only a hundred years of cultivation.

But now that I am about to transform into a weakling, this little Gou Ba will become a big threat.

Should we deal with it directly?

Xiaodong thought for a moment and decided to find a good transformation hideout first. It couldn't be in the center of the forest, but had to be close to the periphery so that he could quickly leave the dangerous forest after turning into a weakling.

After searching carefully with his mental power, Xiaodong soon found a good cave. However, he did not go there immediately. Instead, he ran directly towards the human-faced demon spider that was hunting!

A few minutes later... a rustling sound was heard in front of a cave, and a dark green spider the size of a puppy poked its head out from a patch of grass, with an extremely tough spider web behind it. Trapped inside was a giant purple spider that was more than 1 times larger than itself. Its hideous appearance and thick white beard on its chin confirmed its identity:

Little Gou Ba!

At this moment, it looked desperate!

As a murderous and brutal soul beast, although its IQ is low, it is not stupid. It cannot understand why such a being that makes its soul tremble appeared in its territory.

"This is a soul beast that I absolutely cannot resist!" This idea inexplicably emerged in Xiao Gou Ba's not very smart brain.

Just when Xiao Gou Ba was feeling hopeless and silently waiting for the end of his life, Xiao Dong simply hung him up very high so that his body was completely obscured by the dense branches and leaves.

Then he pulled out an imperceptible but extremely tough needle from his leg, smeared some poison that was enough to severely injure a Titled Douluo on it, and then placed it on a branch and connected it to one end of the spider web. He adjusted the position and aimed it at the hung human-faced demon spider.

He made a simple trap, and his intention was obvious. The human-faced demon spider was notorious, and although the soul beasts could not see it, they could sense its breath and would not approach here.

Then Xiaodong immediately set up several such spider webs around the cave. Anyone or a soul beast who stepped into the webs would be hung up like Xiao Gou Ba, but there would be no thorns left. The webs were only used as traps.

After confirming that the traps around him were set, he looked at the freshly picked fruits hanging on his legs and said, "Although I don't know what this fruit is called, it only has a shelf life of three days after it is picked, and these spider webs made of my soul power can also last for three days."

Xiaodong didn't know how long it would take to transform, so once he woke up and found that the fruit had expired, it meant that the spider web would disappear!

But the moment the spider web disappears, it will trigger the needle thorns and kill Xiao Gou Ba with one blow.

It sounds a bit cruel, but there is no other way. Xiaodong is not like Xiaowu in the original novel who has two younger brothers to protect her. He is alone and the system has not been activated yet, so he must be stable!

After making all the preparations he could think of, Xiaodong went into the cave and took a deep breath:

"Transformation!"

As the voice fell, a spider cocoon condensed by soul power quickly wrapped Xiaodong inside.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

[Ding~ The host has successfully transformed, and the system begins to activate]

A prompt sound rang in Xiaodong's mind. At the same time, cracks appeared on the spider cocoon that wrapped him, and then it fell off layer by layer. An arm as white as jade stretched out first, accompanied by a soft hum.

[Ding~Activation successful, the Virgin Mary system is at your service]

[Congratulations to the host for the first transformation, reward: Bibi Dong's girl's clothing set (growth-capable)]

A few minutes later, the spider cocoon finally shattered, and a shiny... little girl appeared!
