2149: Chapter 2139: What Can You Do?

The golden-haired spider finally understood that the enemy before it was not one it could defeat; struggling to stand up from the ground, it ran towards the depths of the forest, its weak spiritual wisdom told it the simplest of principles: if you can’t win, run.

Long Yan just quietly watched the golden-haired spider’s retreating figure, while beside him, Long Cai’er anxiously shook Long Yan’s arm.

“Master, why did you let him go?”

Just as Long Cai’er’s words fell, a dazzling light emanated from the demon spear in Long Yan’s hand, a spear light almost obscuring heaven and earth shot towards the fleeing golden-haired spider.

In an instant, the spear light outpaced the golden-haired spider’s speed, flying off into the distance, and the golden-haired spider, carved in mid-run by the spear light, came to an abrupt halt, disappearing in its momentum.

The golden-haired spider, standing in its place, split in half, kicking up dust around it as it fell to the ground, dissipating the light of the Blood Qilin.

Long Yan then walked towards the deepest parts of the forest.

Long Cai’er was shocked at witnessing Long Yan’s formidable attack; she shook her little head incredulously and followed behind Long Yan.

Finally, the forest appeared to come to an end, the path gradually becoming narrower, and the spider webs in the vicinity denser.

Every few steps they took, their path was obstructed by spider webs, passing the way by cutting through them.

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire forest fell into a quiet scene.

At the end of the forest path lay densely packed circles of golden spider webs.

Long Yan swung the Dragon Tooth in his hand onto it.

But when the edge of the Dragon Tooth collided with the spider web, it only sparked.

Although the Dragon Tooth currently lacked a spirit, it was still genuinely a Middle Grade Artifact.

It was curious what these spider webs were made of as Long Yan sheathed his Dragon Tooth.

A crimson flame appeared in Long Yan’s hand.

If he used the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame, it would definitely burn through the spider webs before him, but Long Yan wanted to conduct an experiment, so he first used an ordinary flame.

However, to his surprise, the golden spider web wasn’t damaged at all by the intense heat of the flame; the spider web didn’t melt in the slightest.

This made Long Yan find it rather strange; he could feel no spiritual energy within the golden spider web, yet it was incredibly tough.

Long Yan carefully controlled the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame to burn through the webs on both sides; only then did the golden webs slowly start to burn, but the burning speed was extremely slow.

A weird expression appeared on Long Yan’s face; ever since he obtained the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame from the head of the Blood Shadow Sect, it had been a powerful weapon in his arsenal.

Yet now, it seemed less effective against the golden spider web.

Long Yan cautiously withdrew the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame and stored the large swath of golden spider web inside the Azure Dragon Ring—it was a treasure, after all.

Later, when forged into a defensive item, it would be of use to many people.

The scene before them abruptly opened up; because of the sunset, everything around turned pitch black.

Long Yan felt as if he stepped on something disgusting.

Lifting his foot, he found it was a crushed spider.

This seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and in the darkness, countless green eyes appeared, giving Long Cai’er a chill down her spine.

It seemed something was moving in the dark, and thudding sounds came from the ground; it appeared that the strand of spider silk was the spider swarm’s last protective net.

“Master, that thing I told you about is right in front of us.”

Long Cai’er whispered to Long Yan beside her and clung to his arm, visibly nervous.

Knowing that Long Cai’er was somewhat scared, Long Yan said nothing more, his eyes in a flash turning golden; it seemed this was indeed where the master of the whole spider clan resided.

“Humans, why do you invade the territory of my spider clan?”

Long Yan was still puzzled as to why these little spiders had not attacked him, when a majestic voice came from the darkness.

A massive entity slowly emerged from the darkness.

Seeing the thing before him, Long Yan felt a wave of nausea.

The creature walking towards Long Yan had the normal upper body of a woman, her face bearing a hint of seduction, and even the sound of her voice carried an indescribable allure.

Had he only seen this much, Long Yan would definitely have thought her to be a peerless beauty, but her lower body was captured in view, two powerful foreclaws shimmering with a metallic golden light.

The massive venom sacs behind were continuously shaking and dropping spider eggs, and two giant spiders picked up the fallen eggs and placed them on either side.

Seeing Long Yan’s dumbstruck appearance, the female figure in front of him narcissistically thought that Long Yan was enchanted by her beauty, so she struck a seductive pose as she looked at Long Yan.

This gesture completely disgusted Long Yan, and he casually launched a Tai Chi Formation, causing an explosion on the body of the Queen.

From the Queen’s mouth came a piercing scream; Long Cai’er could not help but cover her ears, her eardrums throbbing with pain.

“Humans, do you know what you are doing?”

The voice of the Spider Queen carried a hint of anger.

Initially, she was somewhat complacent about her charm, but Long Yan’s sudden move caught her off guard.

Although she wasn’t hurt, it made her feel pain.

“Of course, it’s a declaration of war!”

Long Yan’s face carried a cold determination as he looked at the Spider Queen, feeling an overwhelming surge of rage.

She was the prime culprit behind the death of Miao Gu and his grandson.

“Why?”

The Spider Queen’s face held a trace of curiosity, wondering why this man would choose to declare war on the spider tribe.

Though they kept to themselves, they were certainly not the weaklings of the Swamp of Death.

“Revenge.”

The simple words completely dumbfounded the Spider Queen.

What revenge?

The Swamp of Death was generally uninhabited, but Long Yan mentioned revenge.

“What have we done that you could possibly want revenge for?”

“Last night, that grandfather and grandson.”

At the mention of Miao Gu and his grandson, Long Yan’s heart twisted in pain.

None had survived.

If…

if he had not gone out hunting, would things have turned out differently?

Mentioning the two, the Spider Queen’s face revealed a look of understanding, but she watched Long Yan with a playful gaze as a fierce surge of True Qi erupted around them.

The Spider Queen’s strength was equivalent to that of a Half-step Divine King!
