Chapter 445 Tang San's Disarrayed Escape
Meng Yiran couldn't resist Ye Qifeng's insistence and eventually accepted his gift.
Because of Ye Qifeng's generosity, Meng Yiran's impression of him improved even more, and a feeling of gratitude inevitably rose in her heart.
Handsome, strong, and so generous, it's hard not to like him. Meng Yiran almost couldn't control herself and wanted to rush forward and kiss Ye Qifeng's handsome face.
Fortunately, she restrained herself.
The Star Dou Great Forest is too dangerous lately; it's more important to absorb spirit rings and improve our strength.
But just as Meng Yiran took out her dagger, preparing to finish off the human-faced spider and absorb its soul ring, Ye Qifeng reached out and stopped her:
"Wait a minute, Miss Meng, don't rush."
"I think your grandparents must have told you that you should never let your guard down in this Star Dou Great Forest. In addition to being wary of attacks from soul beasts, you should also be aware of threats from other soul masters."
After Ye Qifeng finished speaking, he turned and looked at a dark corner in the dense forest:
"Aren't you right, Tang San?"
Meng Yiran was stunned. Was there anyone else here?
However, she still put away her dagger, activated her martial soul and soul rings, and condensed a two-meter-long snake staff in her right palm, adopting a defensive posture and ready to launch an attack at any time with some doubt.
Tang San, who was hiding in the shadows, was not so calm. His ordinary face suddenly changed color, revealing a look of horror.
Tang San seemed very confused as to how Ye Qifeng was able to detect his presence.
He had clearly concealed his aura using the internal energy cultivation techniques of the Tang Clan, so how did Ye Qifeng detect him?
Tang San couldn't understand it.
The room fell silent. Meng Yiran's pretty face was serious as her beautiful eyes scanned the area where Ye Qifeng's gaze fell, trying to find the "enemy" hiding in the shadows, whose purpose was unknown.
However, due to her limited abilities, she failed to discover any clues.
Ye Qifeng, on the other hand, looked relaxed.
Tang San's every move was under his control.
Under the powerful mental probing, Ye Qifeng could clearly sense that Tang San's aura had become disordered because of his exposure, and he was obviously frightened.
In the shadows of a dense forest, Tang San's expression shifted rapidly as he struggled to control his rapid breathing caused by shock. After a moment of silence, he slowly emerged from his hiding place.
"Is that you?"
Seeing Tang San emerge from the shadows of the forest, Meng Yiran frowned slightly. So it was you, you ugly thing.
Tang San was not in good condition at the moment. His clothes were badly torn, his body was covered with countless bits of grass, and his exposed skin was covered with scratches. Clearly, he had suffered some hardships while chasing the Titan Giant Ape.
"Miss Meng, hello, we meet again."
Emerging from the shadows, Tang San greeted Meng Yiran.
As for Ye Qifeng next to Meng Yiran, he chose to ignore him completely.
Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Qifeng was here, he had no time to concern himself with such matters and did not want to pay attention to this man who was already on the verge of death.
Tang San also disliked Meng Yiran because she had previously mocked him for being ugly. However, he had to put on a friendly demeanor because he wanted to ask Meng Yiran for something.
"What are you up to, sneaking around in the shadows?"
Meng Yiran's face was displeased, her eyes were cold and sharp, and her snake staff was pointing straight at Tang San. If it weren't for the handsome guy next to her reminding her, she wouldn't have known that there was such an ugly thing hiding next to her.
"Miss Meng, please don't misunderstand, I just happened to be passing by."
Tang San stopped about ten meters away from the two of them and gave an explanation.
His voice sounded extremely calm, and his expression was also full of composure, which made him seem very deceptive.
Ye Qifeng didn't believe Tang San's words at all. Tang San wasn't just passing by; he had come back specifically for this reason.
The commotion caused by the human-faced spider was quite loud; Tang San must have heard it.
Moreover, Ye Qifeng knew Tang San's character perfectly well, so of course he wouldn't be fooled by him.
Tang San appears dignified and amiable on the surface, but he is actually quite cunning, as can be seen from the fact that he always hides his right hand behind his back.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Tang Sanzang's right hand behind his back, smiled slightly, and said nothing more, letting Meng Yiran continue negotiating with him.
However, something was somewhat unexpected for Ye Qifeng.
Facing Tang San's composed demeanor, Meng Yiran gave him no kind look whatsoever:
"Since you're just passing by and it's nothing serious, you'd better get out of here right now."
Meng Yiran's tone was very impolite.
Relying on the danger perception granted by her Serpent Staff spirit, she vaguely sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Tang San. Moreover...
Could someone who hides in the shadows, acting furtively and with unclear intentions be a good person?
She doesn't trust them at all.
Upon hearing this, Tang San didn't move an inch, showing no intention of leaving. Instead, he pointed to the half-dead human-faced spider on the ground and said with a fawning smile:
"Miss Meng, could you please let me have this human-faced spider?"
"My soul power is currently at level 30, and I urgently need a soul ring to advance. This human-faced demon spider is perfect for me. I can trade with you for it, no matter the cost."
Tang San was originally going to continue tracking the Titan Giant Ape, but suddenly, from the direction he had just passed, he heard a loud fighting noise and the mournful cry of some kind of soul beast.
Tang San hurriedly turned back to check, just in case it was Xiao Wu.
He held a sliver of hope, but he never expected to encounter Ye Qifeng and Meng Yiran.
Tang San was somewhat disappointed, but also pleasantly surprised, because he saw a dying human-faced demon spider.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider is extremely suitable for him, and can be said to be the first choice for the third spirit ring of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
His Blue Silver Grass martial soul, with its first and second spirit rings, comes from the Lonely Bamboo and the Ghost Vine, respectively. These are two plant-type spirit beasts that endow the Blue Silver Grass martial soul with the attributes of resilience and parasitism.
The deadly venom and control abilities of the Man-Faced Demon Spider are both capabilities that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul needs to supplement and strengthen, especially the deadly venom of the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
As a member of the Tang Clan, is it acceptable not to use poison? Of course not.
Tang San had long wanted to add poison to his Blue Silver Grass spirit, but Grandmaster said that he had to follow the proper procedure and that he could only absorb animal-type spirit rings across species when Grandmaster was present.
But he can't care about that now.
Xiao Wu is in grave danger and is waiting for him to rescue her, so he must improve his strength as much as possible.
Now that such a rare human-faced spider soul ring is right in front of us, we absolutely cannot let it go.
Although the exact year of the human-faced demon spider cannot be determined, since Meng Yiran could absorb it, he definitely could as well.
Tang San was very tempted and really wanted to get his hands on the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
He had a vague feeling that if he didn't absorb the soul ring of this human-faced demon spider, he would lose something very important.
"What? You dare ask me for the Human-Faced Demon Spider?"
Meng Yiran looked at Tang San, her pretty face instantly turning bright red, and she was visibly furious.
"Yes, I hope Miss Meng will be kind enough to let me have it."
Tang San ignored Meng Yiran's anger and appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was also very nervous and uncertain.
Meng Yiran's martial soul is the Serpent Staff. Some of her spirit ring choices clash with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider spirit ring is one of them, which is also very suitable for Meng Yiran.
Meng Yiran will definitely not give up easily.
Just as Tang San had thought, Meng Yiran certainly wouldn't give him the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
She had already lost a thousand-year-old Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent soul ring a few days ago, and now she has finally found a suitable Human-Faced Demon Spider. No wonder she would agree to it.
Besides, this human-faced demon spider was captured by Ye Qifeng and given to her by him; it was a gift. How could she give it away to someone else? What would that make her?
Meng Yiran looked at Tang San warily, her brows furrowed, clearly displeased. "Trying to steal my spirit ring again? Dream on!"
Tang San was extremely anxious at this moment. Xiao Wu had been captured by Titan for a long time, and he urgently needed a spirit ring to improve his cultivation so that he could rescue her as soon as possible.
As long as I absorb the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, I can advance to a higher realm and gain more power, which will increase my chances of rescuing Xiao Wu.
The thought of Xiao Wu made Tang San increasingly agitated, and he even began to feel restless, wanting to take action and snatch her directly.
But he dared not act rashly.
The main thing is that standing next to Meng Yiran is the unfathomable Ye Qifeng.
Tang San still doesn't know the exact extent of Ye Qifeng's power ceiling.
Of course, he wasn't without any trump cards.
Tang San secretly touched the hidden weapons on his body, finally feeling a little safer. If the Zhuge Crossbow were still around, he wouldn't be so restrained.
Damn Yoruichi Kaze!
Tang San's eyes flashed with a cold light as he weighed the strength of both sides and compared the odds of winning, feeling somewhat uncertain for a moment.
Meng Yiran is not a threat; he can kill her instantly. But Ye Qifeng is not someone he is 100% confident he can kill with one blow.
Looking at Tang San's shifty eyes, Ye Qifeng could roughly guess what he was thinking. He was simply calculating the methods and chances of success in assassinating him and Meng Yiran.
Facing Tang San's ever-changing expression, Ye Qifeng finally spoke, saying expressionlessly:
"I'm sorry, this human-faced spider already has an owner; it doesn't belong to you."
Tang San's face instantly darkened, shadows looming over him. His right hand twitched almost imperceptibly, and something seemed to appear between his fingers.
"What? You want to fight? I advise you to put what you're holding away, or someone might die."
Tang San's sneaky little tricks couldn't possibly escape Ye Qifeng's notice; he saw through them at a glance.
The gentle smile on Ye Qifeng's face vanished, his eyes became incredibly deep, as if containing an endless world, and an invisible aura emanated from them.
If Tang San really dares to make a move, he wouldn't mind killing him beforehand and sending him to his death. Even if it meant bringing down that filthy Asura God, it wouldn't matter.
"He found out? This person is dangerous!"
Looking into Ye Qifeng's suddenly deep eyes, Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, his heart surged with shock, and alarm bells rang. His intuition told him that he had to get away from this person as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he will die.
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Meng Yiran suddenly looked at Tang San's hidden right hand. Although she couldn't tell what he was holding, she felt a deadly threat.
Meng Yiran became even more vigilant.
Having his plans exposed by Ye Qifeng and realizing the opportunity was completely lost, Tang San weighed his options carefully and ultimately chose to give up. He slowly retreated, saying as he did so:
"Misunderstanding. I just thought this human-faced spider would be a good fit for my third spirit ring. Since it already has an owner, I won't take what belongs to someone else. Farewell."
After saying that, Tang San quickly turned around and fled into the distance.
He didn't stop until more than ten minutes after he had run away, panting heavily.
Recalling Ye Qifeng's gaze, Tang San felt his scalp tingle, cold sweat pour down his back, and a chill ran down his spine to the top of his head.
He had never seen such eyes before; they were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, and the power they exuded was so terrifying that it felt like the whole world was pressing down on him, making it unbearable.
"Ye Qifeng, Meng Yiran, I'll remember you. You dare to stop me from becoming stronger to rescue Xiao Wu, I won't let you get away with this."
After a long while, Tang San finally calmed down. He uttered a resentful remark and, following the clues left by the Titan Giant Ape, continued his pursuit.
"Xiao Wu, wait for me, I'm coming to save you right away."
…………
"Is this person crazy?"
Seeing Tang San flee inexplicably and in a sorry state, Meng Yiran couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
A moment later, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she turned to look at Ye Qifeng, her voice soft and melodious as she requested:
"Um, Night Seven Wind, could you protect me for a moment? I need to absorb the soul ring of this human-faced demon spider."
Ye Qifeng did not agree immediately, but instead stopped her again:
"Wait, do you know exactly how old this human-faced demon spider is?"
Meng Yiran paused for a moment, then shook her head and said truthfully:
"I don't know. The human-faced demon spider is quite rare, and I don't know much about it. But my grandfather estimated its strength; its cultivation level is roughly over a thousand years."
"As for the exact age, it can only be determined by the depth of the color of the spirit ring."
Night Wind sighed:
"Your grandfather miscalculated. The true cultivation level of this human-faced demon spider is not just over a thousand years, but over two thousand years."
Meng Yiran immediately exclaimed in a sweet voice:
"What? More than two thousand years?"
Ye Qifeng nodded, pointed to the eight sharp spider legs he had cut off and said gently:
"As we all know, every time a soul beast's cultivation level exceeds a certain number of years, it will undergo some obvious and unique changes, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider is no exception."
"The way to determine its age is actually very simple: just look at the length of its legs."
"The human-faced demon spider in front of us has legs that are clearly over three meters long, which means that its cultivation level has exceeded two thousand years."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran was completely stunned:
"Doesn't that mean the soul ring of this human-faced demon spider is far beyond my capacity to absorb?"
A Soul Master's physical endurance is limited. Generally speaking, the theoretical limit for the age of a third Soul Ring that a Soul Master can absorb is over 1,760 years. Beyond this age limit, they cannot absorb any more.
Because that would be extremely dangerous.
If the interruption is not timely, it can result in severe backlash and damage to one's talents, or even death from body explosion.
With her grandparents not around, if she were to absorb this human-faced spider soul ring, which is over two thousand years old, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Meng Yiran broke out in a cold sweat, her face filled with lingering fear, and she subconsciously took several steps back.
She didn't want to end up exploding and dying just because she absorbed a super-limit spirit ring.
Suddenly, Meng Yiran seemed to remember something, and abruptly looked up at Ye Qifeng:
"Since you knew this human-faced demon spider's cultivation level exceeded two thousand years, why didn't you say so earlier? And you even gave it to me? You...you...what are you trying to do?"
Seeing Meng Yiran's slightly annoyed expression, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but find it amusing. He winked at her and said matter-of-factly:
"Of course it's for you to absorb."
Meng Yiran's eyes widened in surprise:
"Let me absorb it? Are you deliberately trying to harm me? No way, I'll die."
Ye Qifeng slightly suppressed his smile and said to her seriously:
"It's alright, I have a way to let you absorb this spirit ring safely."
