Chapter 818: Wine Is Really Sharp-Eyed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that moment, Yu Huang wasn’t the only one who realized that something was wrong. Sheng Xiao, Donor, and the others also realized that something was wrong.
Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang to his side and said, “I was careless just now. I didn’t notice anything wrong with Fourth Brother.” Sheng Xiao and Feng Yuncheng were good friends. Like Yu Huang, he knew Feng Yuncheng very well.
Although Feng Yuncheng looked carefree, he wasn’t an idiot who spoke without thinking. He knew that saying that matter would distract the team, so Feng Yuncheng definitely wouldn’t talk about it at this time.
If it was any other time, Sheng Xiao would have noticed it immediately. However, Yu Huang’s reaction was too intense just now. Sheng Xiao was so focused on comforting Yu Huang that he didn’t notice the problem with Feng Yuncheng.
Sheng Xiao asked ‘Feng Yuncheng’, “When did you join our team?”
Without waiting for ‘Feng Yuncheng’ to explain, Yu Huang said firmly, “When he said that Estelle evolved from a bat, he probably already swapped with Fourth Brother.” Feng Yuncheng knew very well how sensitive Estelle’s ident.i.ty was. How could someone as tactful as him tease Estelle in front of everyone?
At that time, Yu Huang felt that there was something wrong with Feng Yuncheng’s words. She even specifically refuted him with the relationship between the Divine Feather Phoenix and the peac.o.c.k.
Now that she thought about it carefully, Yu Huang discovered the problem.
Feng Yuncheng’s eyes flickered with a strange light under his gla.s.ses. He stared at Yu Huang with a spurious smile and said, “You’re quite smart, but no matter how smart a person is, one loses one’s rationality the moment it concerns one’s man. You’re just so-so.”
Not only was Yu Huang not angry, but she also reflected on herself.
That’s right. Yu Huang wouldn’t make a fuss about what ‘Feng Yuncheng’ said just now unless it was related to Sheng Xiao. In the end, it was because she was in love that her IQ was affected.
However, Donor said quizzically, “Why does this disgusting thing speak the language of the Holy Spirit Continent? The last time we met, it was clearly just an idiot who could only hiss and roar. It’s only been three months since we last met, but it actually learned the language of the Holy Spirit Continent.” Donor couldn’t help but admire the intelligence of these demon beasts in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
Sheng Xiao stared at ‘Feng Yuncheng’ thoughtfully for a while. He said, “It didn’t learn it. It learned our teammates’ language after it ate them.”
Donor was stunned.
Yu Huang nodded and said, “From the looks of it, its demon technique allows it to obtain a portion of its food’s energy by devouring it. It’s a very good demon technique.”
Seeing that Yu Huang and the others had guessed his demonic technique in a few words, the Thousand-Faced Spider’s gaze became sinister.
Yu Huang asked Feng Yuncheng, “Where did you send them?” Yu Huang didn’t think that the Thousand-Faced Spider could kill them without anyone knowing. It might have secretly led them to another pa.s.sageway while Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao were distracted.
Feng Yuncheng said gloatingly, “At this time, who knows which pa.s.sageway they have pa.s.sed through? As you can see, the underground world’s underground rivers extend in all directions. If you take the wrong path, you might never be able to walk out again. I don’t know where they are now.”
Yu Huang was silent for two seconds before asking, “Where is the real Feng Yuncheng?”
Feng Yuncheng’s expression was cold. “Dead.”
Yu Huang nodded and said, “Then he’s still alive.”
‘Feng Yuncheng’ was stunned and looked at Yu Huang quizzically, not understanding how Yu Huang had guessed it.
Yu Huang could tell that the Thousand-Faced Spider was curious. She said bluntly, “You’re indeed cunning, but you also like to show off. You’re so smug just because you led our other teammates to another path. If you really killed him, you’ll definitely boast about how you killed him.”
“Since you only said briefly that you killed him, you’re lying.” Yu Huang looked up and said to Sheng Xiao, “That fool is most likely still at the pool.”
Sheng Xiao wanted to laugh when he saw that Yu Huang had seen through the Thousand-Faced Spider easily. “You’re quite shrewd.”
After the Thousand-Faced Spider separated the other teammates, Yu Huang’s team was only left with her, Sheng Xiao, Donor, and a stupid baboon who looked tall but wasn’t good at fighting.
The Thousand-Faced Spider didn’t take Yu Huang seriously at all.
It had its eyes on Sheng Xiao and the others. In the Thousand-Faced Spider’s eyes, Sheng Xiao was the battle a.s.sistant and their leader. That was why when it first met them three months ago, the Thousand-Faced Spider turned into Sheng Xiao and killed his three companions easily.
It was unknown where these two-legged demon beasts came from, but their meat was abnormally fresh and delicious. They were completely different from the unpalatable demon beasts in the forest.
The Thousand-Faced Spider had lived for thousands of years, but this was the first time it had encountered such delicious two-legged monsters. It coveted the flesh of these people.
The Thousand-Faced Spider smiled at Sheng Xiao in a sinister manner. When it smiled, the corner of its mouth split to the tips of its ears, and the blood-red flesh under its cheekbones could be seen. Immediately after, the skin on its face began to peel away from its lips. Its nose and eyes became one part, and its chin and neck became another.
The entire human skin instantly peeled off from Feng Yuncheng’s body, revealing his b.l.o.o.d.y body. Then, the bones in his body suddenly let out cracking sounds. The ‘Feng Yuncheng’ in front of everyone instantly transformed into a blood-red spider with faces all over his body!
There were all kinds of strange faces, including the faces of various demon beasts and three human faces.
Yu Huang recognized the three faces at a glance as the students who had been eaten by the Thousand-Faced Spider.
She immediately guessed that the faces on the Thousand-Faced Spider were all demon beasts and humans that it had eaten.
Donor held a flashlight in his hand. He saw the disgusting appearance of the Thousand-Faced Spider through the flashlight. Even though he had seen this thing before, he was still so disgusted that gooseb.u.mps arose.
He complained, “This thing doesn’t need to use any demonic techniques. It only needs to stand there without moving to be disgusting enough.”
Yu Huang also felt disgusted. She stared at the three familiar faces on the Thousand-Faced Spider and felt uncomfortable again. They had died in a foreign land. Not only had they been eaten by a ferocious demon beast, but they also became a part of the demon beast that continued to hurt their cla.s.smates and good friends.
If they knew in the netherworld, how could they rest in peace?!
Yu Huang suddenly summoned Xuan Yu, causing it to transform into a long sword burning with flames.
The moment it saw the burning torch, the spider took a step back warily. It sneered. “I’m not those useless bats. The flames can hurt them, but not me.”
“Then let’s see how fireproof your skin is!”
The underground tunnel was narrow and was only suitable for close combat. Yu Huang held the Xuan Yu Sword in her right hand and stabbed at the Thousand-Faced Spider without hesitation. At the same time, Sheng Xiao raised the Dragon Sword and rushed forward. Donor summoned his Light Sword.
The three of them formed a triangular formation and attacked the spider together.
Kun Lun was about to help when it heard Yu Huang say, “Support us!”
Kunlun immediately nodded and stood on the spot, not daring to move. It watched every move in the battle to find the Thousand-Faced Spider’s flaw so that it could ambush it.
Yu Huang kicked the stone wall beside her. The Xuan Yu Sword in her hand carried powerful spiritual power as it stabbed towards the back of the Thousand-Faced Spider’s face. At this moment, the lizard face that was stabbed by Yu Huang’s sword suddenly left the Thousand-Faced Spider’s body and transformed into a lizard phantom that used its thick tail to catch Yu Huang’s sword.
Yu Huang’s longsword swung down forcefully and severed the lizard’s tail on the spot.
The lizard turned its head angrily and bit Yu Huang’s arm tightly, sinking its sharp teeth into Yu Huang’s right arm that was holding the sword. Yu Huang grunted and raised her left hand. In her hand was actually a ball of fiery red psychic energy. She turned her psychic energy into a psychic net and wrapped it around the lizard’s body.
As soon as the lizard clone that had become a soul came into contact with the pure psychic power, it howled, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
Yu Huang threw the lizard into the distance. Then, she ignored the wound on her arm and flew towards Sheng Xiao. She shouted, “Sheng Xiao, Donor, every face on the back of the spider has the soul of the owner of the face imprisoned. Think of a way to subdue them. I will use the psychic net to tie them up and purify them!”
