690 Five Colored Spider (2/2)
After more than half a day, the fact only three people had died was not that bad.
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He strolled around in a valley at a casual pace. It seemed as though he was relaxed, but, in reality, he was always on high alert. No movement could escape his eyes.
He did not dare to fly in the sky, because that would make him too much of a target Even the Beast Kings on the ground would come over to hunt him, not to mention the various levels of Beast Kings in the sky
Suddenly, Mo Wen stopped in his tracks. He narrowed his gaze, his eyes staring intently in front of him.
A formless spider web was stretched across the valley, seemingly surrounding the place. The spider web was sometimes there and gone the next, barely visible to the naked eye. It also did not emanate any aura, seemingly fusing with the surrounding air.
Even ancient martial art practitioners with high cultivation would not detect the spider web if they were not paying attention.
Mo Wen did not dare take even a step forward. Although he did not know what was so different about this spider web, he knew that anything that appeared on this island would not be ordinary. He could not afford to be careless.
He took two steps back and turned, planning to leave the way he had come. However, he had not even taken two steps when he suddenly stopped and narrowed his gaze. The road down which he had come was also now covered in a layer of spider webs. The spider web was so fine that it was almost invisible. If his soul power had not reached a very high level, he most likely would not have noticed it.
When he had just walked past, there had been no spider webs there at all. These things had actually appeared behind him without him knowing. He hadn't noticed a thing. Whoever was responsible for it, this hidden method that could evade Mo Wen's sensory ability was astonishing.
”What is this? Acting so sneakily?” Mo Wen said plainly. He knew that he had caught the eye of something.
”Such acute sensory ability. You are a strange human.” A somewhat high-pitched, unpleasant voice sounded. It seemed as though it came from a female voice which was rare on this island.
A huge boulder in the valley slowly cracked apart, and a gorgeous five colored spider leg extended out. It was followed by a second leg, and then a third.
An eight-legged, colorful spider emerged from the ground, which was layered with gravel. The spider was huge, the size of a pavilion. Its gigantic body, which was supported by its eight legs, was five meters tall.
The colorful spider was beautiful. Its iridescent body shimmered under the sunlight.
”So you are a spider.”
A look of understanding flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. These spider webs must have been set up by this spider Beast King. The spider Beast King before his eyes may not have very high cultivation, but its ability to conceal itself was impressive. Even Mo Wen had not been able to discover its hiding spot.
”Despicable human, you are the spider. I am a colorful Beast King, with the Five Colored Spider's bloodline,” the Five Colored Spider said proudly as it lifted its forequarters up.
For monstrous beasts, their bloodlines were the most fundamental aspect of their being. Nothing was more important than their bloodline. It was because their bloodline determined their talents and ability. At the same time, it determined their status.
”No matter what bloodline you are, since you have shown yourself, don't blame me for sending you on your way.”
Mo Wen stroked his chin. Since he had arrived on this Beast King Island, he had been contemplating about killing a Beast King or two. He only needed to kill two more Beast Kings before he could advance to the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. However, half a day had passed and he had not managed to kill any Beast Kings.
Beast Kings were always hard to kill. On Beast King Island, it was even harder to kill them. If one went all out trying to deal with a Beast King, other Beast Kings might be attracted by the sounds of battle and join the fight. He could be surrounded, or maybe they would conceal themselves, awaiting an opportunity to strike.
Mo Wen had nearly killed a Beast King several times, but each time he had failed because other Beast Kings had appeared.
He looked carefully at this valley. There seemed to be no other Beast King around. This seemed to be the Five Colored Spider's personal territory. The chances of attracting other Beast Kings while battling here were slim.
Of course, if he could not kill this Five Colored Spider in a short amount of time, as time dragged on, the battle would still attract other Beast Kings.
If the Five Colored Beast King was a Beast King with very high cultivation, he most likely would not even try to kill it. However, although this Five Colored Spider was extraordinary, its cultivation was average. It had probably become a Beast King fairly recently.
If Mo Wen could restrain this Beast King, it would be easy for him to kill it.
”You, an arrogant human, actually intend to kill me. Surely you do not know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
The Five-Colored Spider laughed loudly. Its laughter was sharp, as though a sharp metal was scratching a glass surface. Its disdainful tone seemed to be mocking Mo Wen's overconfidence.
The Five-Colored Spider was a Beast King. Its cultivation was akin to that of human Martial Arts Grandmaster. This human ancient martial art practitioner was still far from becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and yet he dared to talk big.
