Douluo: AI Dragon Emperor

"Who the hell grew bear guts and leopard courage and dared to rob my goods?"

Looking at the report, Chen Ming rarely felt anger surge up in him.

"Eight hundred pigs, five hundred sheep, three hundred cows, all eaten by one Spirit Beast? Even if you're trying to balance the accounts, you don't do it like this, right?"

Chen Ming knew there were definitely people taking chances to line their own pockets and quietly plan for their own interests. As long as they did not go too far or affect his plans, Chen Ming would pretend he had not seen it.

But over a thousand livestock all being written off as Spirit Beast losses?

How many nine-generation clans was that supposed to be?

"It was done by a ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider."

"A ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider has a big appetite and loves killing, but it can't possibly run through several ranches at once and kill all the cows, sheep, and pigs I raised, right? Is it really that bored? Or is its temper that bad?"

Although the total price of those livestock was only around thirty to forty thousand gold spirit coins, such a large loss would no doubt cause huge problems for Chen Ming's plans over the next period of time.

Looking at the official in front of him, Chen Ming began reciting the man's identity, his family, and the official posts his father and ancestors had held in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The meaning was already very clear.

Hearing Chen Ming's words, the official dropped to his knees with a thud.

"My lord, please investigate clearly! I only took a few hundred gold spirit coins in kickbacks in total, and I earned that from the wholesale price. I didn't dare let there be even the slightest problem with the quality!"

"Even if you gave me bear guts and leopard courage, I wouldn't dare write off this many livestock at once. It really was done by a Man-Faced Demon Spider!"

"Then where are the corpses? Where are the bodies of the animals killed by the Man-Faced Demon Spider? I at least need to test the poison!"

"They were all eaten. That Man-Faced Demon Spider's appetite was too huge. It grabbed a pig leg once, and in one pull, it could directly suck a whole animal dry."

"There was a huge crack on the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body, like it was being hunted by some Spirit Beast. It specifically targeted the large livestock we raised and swallowed them directly. It didn't even glance at humans."

"My lord, I can use my family's money to make up for this matter, but this really wasn't my fault."

"I'll pay you double, triple even. Please believe me!"

Looking at the official's expression, which did not seem fake, Chen Ming sat in his chair, reached up to rub his temples, and began thinking.

"You're saying an injured ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider ate over a thousand livestock?" Chen Ming asked again.

"Yes. That Man-Faced Demon Spider sucked a livestock animal dry in one go. It was like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, no one knew where it had gone. A Spirit Beast like that would need a great figure like a Titled Douluo to deal with it, right?"

The official in charge of the ranch pleaded bitterly.

"A Man-Faced Demon Spider is bloodthirsty and has devouring ability. That's true. When injured, it will absorb life force to repair itself. That's also true. But a ten-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider clearly can't have such a huge appetite…"

The official originally thought Chen Ming wanted to deny his explanation and punish him.

But Chen Ming only waved his hand.

"You can leave first. I'll find someone to investigate this matter."

"If it really is what I think it is, then not only have you done nothing wrong, you've made a contribution."

"If you could protect lives from a Spirit Beast of that level and still report the exact losses, then you're talented. When the time comes, I'll even give you a promotion and a raise."

"My lord, you mean that thing is…?"

The official swallowed, already forming a guess in his heart.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. But yes, it will need a Titled Douluo, maybe even an experienced Titled Douluo, to deal with it."

Chen Ming waved his hand, and the official left the room as if he had been pardoned.

Chen Ming took out a map and marked the ranches that had suffered losses one by one. Looking at the layout of these ranches and the route that Spirit Beast had taken, he vaguely had an answer.

This Spirit Beast seemed to have come from the Star Dou Forest and was moving into the human world, heading toward Suotuo City.

Since he knew Tang San was at Shrek, Chen Ming could understand anything that happened in Suotuo City.

Whether it was a battle between Titled Douluo or the invasion of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, it was all within the normal range.

In the original timeline, a Spirit Beast like the Man-Faced Demon Spider had an unclear but deep evil fate with Tang San.

If Xiao Wu and Ah Yin were the two Spirit Beasts who had the greatest influence on Tang San, then the Man-Faced Demon Spider had to be third.

The Eight Spider Lances from the Man-Faced Demon Spider gave Tang San a boost no weaker than immortal herbs. Even after reaching the Divine Realm, the Eight Spider Lances were still one of Tang San's hidden trump cards.

It could be said that when people mentioned Tang San, they would think of the Man-Faced Demon Spider. And when they mentioned the Man-Faced Demon Spider, they would think of Tang San.

The two were already strongly tied together.

Almost every Man-Faced Demon Spider Spirit Beast could be seen as a potential stepping stone for Tang San.

"I can't let that happen…"

Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, left his room, and came to the backyard.

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was cultivating, Chen Ming silently nodded. Then he called softly into the shadows.

Qian Renfeng walked out from the darkness and cupped his fists toward Chen Ming.

"Greetings, Elder."

"There are suspected traces of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast near Holy Soul City and Suotuo City of the Balak Kingdom. Find a way to report this information, then come with me."

"May I ask, Elder, what hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast is it?"

Although a legendary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast entering the human world sounded a little absurd, Qian Renfeng had seen many things while staying by Chen Ming's side. He did not think Chen Ming was lying.

Back then, Golden Crocodile Douluo's ninth Spirit Ring had also come from a hundred-thousand-year Darkgolden Demon Tiger that had somehow run from the Star Dou Great Forest into the human world.

Although the odds were not high, this kind of thing was reasonable.

"A Man-Faced Demon Spider."

Hearing those four words, killing intent flashed through Qian Renfeng's eyes. For a moment, the scorching aura around him almost could not be hidden.

The Man-Faced Demon Spider was an evil Spirit Beast that Spirit Hall would chase down and kill. A hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider was an absolute disaster, especially when such a disaster had entered the human world…

Just thinking about it made Qian Renfeng feel his Martial Soul tremble.

Especially since in recent years, as Qian Daoliu's trusted subordinate, he had learned from Qian Daoliu that Bibi Dong still had twin Martial Souls. Aside from the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, she also had the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

When he thought of how the Man-Faced Demon Spider was also a powerful spider-type Spirit Beast known as a "spider emperor," Qian Renfeng became especially eager to grind that hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider to dust before Bibi Dong noticed it.

Aside from leaving behind a Spirit Bone, every other part of it had to be burned to ashes.

He absolutely could not let that insane woman Bibi Dong pick up anything from it.
