Douluo: AI Dragon Emperor
Chapter 252 · The Speed Clan? What Roadside Stray Dogs?The Man-Faced Demon Spider was panicking badly now. It no longer had the arrogance it had shown a few months ago when it first became a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
It had originally thought that even if its cultivation could not make it invincible under heaven, there should at least be very few beings in the world who could rival it. With its strength, whether in the Star Dou Great Forest or the human world, it should have been able to come and go as it pleased. As long as it did not lose its mind and transform into a human, nothing should be able to threaten its life.
But now it understood just how childish and laughable that thought had been.
Just one unknown existence had chased it out of the Star Dou Forest and left it in such a miserable state.
If it had not used its Spider God Possession talent several times, burning its own origin power to resist, it might have died halfway through the chase already.
It followed those two delicious scents, circling nonstop through the human world. But because the two tasty little things ahead of it could run far too well, and the monster behind it was far too strong, it missed its chances again and again, taking quite a few injuries in the process.
If it had not relied on its talent to find several places where humans raised large numbers of livestock, then recovered a little by devouring huge amounts of blood, it might really have died.
If there's truly no other way, I'll look for more of those places humans call ranches.
As long as I can find another ten or eight ranches and devour three to five thousand ordinary livestock, the injuries on my body should recover more or less.
Good thing humans have this stupid habit of raising many living things together. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have recovered this quickly.
If I weren't afraid that the experts of the human world would chase me down and work with that monster to deal with me, I would have run into the human world long ago and devoured those tasty, weak humans.
I really miss the days when I could devour humans freely.
But ever since Angel God became a god, mass devouring humans has become a guaranteed death sentence.
Those brainless members of my race may not be afraid, but I can't throw my life away because of that…
To be honest, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was actually somewhat afraid of humans as a race.
The more brainless a Spirit Beast was, the more it looked down on humans. The weaker a Spirit Beast was, the more it despised humans.
But any Spirit Beast that could reach the ten-thousand-year level at least knew that humans were not easy to provoke.
The upper and lower limits of this race were far too different. The weak ones were like chickens, but the strong ones could tear apart even giant dragons.
Although humans had short lives, they could reproduce, and their average talent was far higher than Spirit Beasts. They were also much more intelligent.
After all, although a large part of its cultivation had come from devouring, it was indeed a Spirit Beast that had already existed tens of thousands of years ago.
Back in its era, Angel God had truly carried the Ange Holy Sword into every forest, hunting down Spirit Beasts that might cause great harm to humans.
Originally, there had still been several kinds of Spirit Beasts in the world that were even more evil than Man-Faced Demon Spiders, and their numbers had been greater too.
But before Angel God left, she had wiped out all of them by force.
The few remaining stragglers did not receive pity from the Spirit Beast race. Instead, they were destroyed together by other Spirit Beasts.
Back then, Man-Faced Demon Spiders were not even worth ranking.
To it, Angel God becoming a god felt like something that had happened not long ago. It was truly afraid that if it devoured humans, that legendary madwoman would jump straight down from the Divine Realm and erase it with one leaping slash.
Heh, who could be provoked and who could not, the Man-Faced Demon Spider still understood that much.
It just had not expected that devouring some livestock would still draw extra attention.
On the other side, Bai He had already fallen into a weakened state from using too much Spirit Power. Even though the Speed Clan's extreme-point Needle-Tailed Swift Martial Soul was the strongest and most extreme agility-type Martial Soul in the world, Bai He's speed still had a limit.
His Spirit Power also had a limit.
If he had been running alone, he could have gone so fast that the Man-Faced Demon Spider would never catch him. But he could not abandon his only granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, and flee by himself.
Any burden was fatal to the Needle-Tailed Swift, which pursued ultimate speed.
During the escape, Bai He had even been injured by the Man-Faced Demon Spider's Spirit Power. Although it was only a long-range wound, that poisonous Spirit Power still left him deeply poisoned.
Now, Bai He wanted to find a place to leave his granddaughter, then draw away this hundred-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider himself.
Although the Speed Clan had once clashed with Spirit Hall because of the Clear Sky Sect, and many of their people had died at Spirit Hall's hands, at this moment, the only force Bai He could think of that might save them was Spirit Hall.
Even during the Clear Sky Sect's peak, they would surely have acted in this situation. But the reason they acted definitely would not have been for the safety of a mere Speed Clan. It would have been for a Spirit Bone from a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Just as Bai He, for some unknown reason, was flying in a straight line toward Suotuo City with Bai Chenxiang, a scorching figure descended in front of them while carrying someone.
Although Bai He considered himself the fastest under heaven, the newcomer merely released his scorching Spirit Power, and Bai He's wings were completely burned, leaving him unable to keep flying.
This aura felt both familiar and unfamiliar to Bai He.
It made him happy, yet also disappointed.
Because he sensed that this was the unique aura of the legendary Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, the supreme sacred aura that stood above all angel Martial Souls.
"Could it be Senior Qian Daoliu, the Great Worship of Spirit Hall?"
Bai He did not care who the person opposite him really was. With a thud, he directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly toward that figure.
"This old man Bai He begs only for one life, only for my family to remain whole. The Speed Clan once offended Spirit Hall because of our trust in the Clear Sky Sect. This old man is willing to die. But I ask the experts of Spirit Hall to protect my granddaughter."
"My Speed Clan is willing to pay any price for this."
Qian Renfeng and Chen Ming looked at each other. Chen Ming gave Qian Renfeng a look, and Qian Renfeng nodded.
"Your Speed Clan really isn't important enough for Spirit Hall to care that much."
"After all, among the four great clans back then, only your Speed Clan did not cause any harm to Spirit Hall. You were simply injured and killed by Spirit Hall one-sidedly."
"If Spirit Hall truly wanted to target you, after all these years, you would have died countless times already."
