Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Chapter 262 Kill the Binding Fairy Spider 1 (2/2)
Squeak!
This scourge was still fierce, finding that Qin Niu attacked it, it actually spat out transparent spider silk, trying to bind Qin Niu.
Its size was roughly as big as a bucket.
The height of its abdomen was also about the same as a bucket, its body was gray, decorated with light white spots.
But the color of the spots was not pure white, rather it was a grayish white.
This also made it more advantageous for it to hide its shape in this dark environment.
However, it seemed to have underestimated the power of Qin Niu’s blade.
By happenstance, a strike that coincidentally produced a rupture effect.
Shik!
Like tearing through cloth with ease, this insolent Binding Fairy Spider indeed deserved to have this calamity in its fate.
It was cleaved into two halves by a single strike from Qin Niu.
The spider silk it spat out was extremely sticky and also incredibly fast.
Blocked by Qin Niu’s horn shield.
Then he returned the blade to cut it off.
The Ink Blade proved itself as a Treasured Sword, indeed having been worth the many days it was nurtured.
Its material was not much to speak of, really.
However, after being nourished by the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, it had completely transformed, becoming an exceptional Treasured Sword.
Even without Qin Niu exerting any force, he could make it display Blade Qi.
This allowed its sharpness to far surpass that of ordinary divine weapons.
Easily cutting through the Binding Fairy Spider’s spider silk.
“Kill my beloved spider, die!”
A man with disheveled hair, looking frenzied, wielded two curved blades as he attacked Qin Niu.
A trace of fresh blood dangled from the corner of his mouth, his expression seemed somewhat wilted, obviously because his life-bound insect had been killed, which had severely damaged his spirit and caused him to cough up blood.
Qin Niu currently had numerous insect and beast pets to his name, but he had not decided on his life-bound pet.
There was an advantage to this: if any of them died, the impact on the master would not be particularly severe. At worst, it would just hurt his spirit.
He had experienced such a taste before.
When the two Termites he previously bonded with died, each time, it would leave him spiritless for a long time.
Establishing a spiritual bond with insects or birds and beasts was equivalent to taking them as one’s own.
But that did not mean treating them as life-bound pets.
Knowing well that the death of life-bound pets could cause significant harm to their master, why do so many Insect Masters or Beast Tamers still choose to designate certain pets as their life-bound pets?
Firstly, it is definitely because of affection.
Just like when we fall in love with a man or woman, willing to give selflessly to them.
Taking the hard-earned money and spending it on the other party.
Upon hearing that the other party is sick, one would rush to bring medicine, deliver food, and offer care and concern.
The same goes for pets.
When a certain pet can bring tremendous benefits to the master and is deeply favored by the master, the master will feel that they can’t live without it. They are willing to use the best resources to cultivate it, to help it become stronger.
Treating it as their life-bound insect for cultivation, the master and the insect will become more in sync with each other.
In the future, when the insect becomes particularly strong, it can even nourish the master in return.
It can even be refined into a secondary primordial spirit.
Moreover, when the master is in danger, the life-bound pet will automatically protect the master.
Finally, there’s another point: the life-bound pet has a higher status among the master’s many pets, and can command other pets..
