Chapter 7 (2/2)
Alan’s feet lightly tapped on the treetop, and his figure instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already a thousand meters away.
Before he could see clearly, he had already disappeared and reappeared.
His speed was too fast, so fast that he did not even have time to leave behind an after image.
There were only a few whirlwinds that had yet to form on the spot. They spun two rounds in loneliness before disintegrating unwillingly.
After chewing off half a bull’s leg, a group of beautiful girls appeared in front of Alan.
These girls were not old, and some of them were not even adults yet. Their faces were filled with the typical innocence and curiosity of a young girl.
However, at this moment, they were more frightened and uneasy.
Opposite of the young girl, was a spider the size of a demon plate.
The spider’s entire body was dark red, and it was covered in sharp barbs. On its back, there was a white wailing ghost face. As the spider moved, its body continuously wailed.
It was as if it was a resentful soul trapped in the spider’s body.
The human-faced ghost spider was one of the most common demon beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
An ordinary human-faced ghost spider was only at level three, which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm of a human cultivator, and the Soul Shaping Realm of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It could be said that this group of little girls were unlucky to meet this mutated spider king, which was at the peak of level six.
There were a total of nine realms for cultivators.
The righteous path was divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, Leaving Body, Distraction, Integration, Tribulation, Mahayana, and Immortal Ascension.
The demonic path was divided into Body Refinement, Essence Cultivation, Soul Moulding, Soul Refining, Soul Devouring, Blood Demon, True Demon, Demon, Sky Demon.
Demon beasts were divided into nine levels, which corresponded to the nine realms of humans.
Due to limited wisdom, three levels were used as the dividing line.
In a battle of the same level, demon beasts below the third level could rely on brute force to defeat cultivators of the same level. Human cultivators above the third level could often defeat demon beasts with agility and wisdom.
Most of the girls in this group were in the Nascent Soul Realm. The two girls in the lead were older and stronger.
One was in the Leaving Body Realm and the other was in the Distraction Realm.
From their slightly red pupils and a faint metallic luster, one could tell that they were the disciples of the Jade Fairy Mountain.
If nothing went wrong, they should be the candidates for saintess this time.
Cultivators used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to wash their tendons and meridians. Their lifespan would be greatly extended.
If they started cultivating when they were young, their growth time would be much slower than that of normal people.
These girls looked at Zhou Yi as if he was a child. To be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, she had actually cultivated for at least a hundred years.
Water Moon Fairy was really ruthless. She actually threw the candidates for saintess to the Hundred Thousand Mountains just like that.
There was not even a person to protect her in secret.
A level six demonic beast versus a human at the Distraction Realm was had a 60-40 chance.
A level six demonic beast versus a level four human.
With a solid foundation, good equipment, and a bit of luck, it was not impossible for a human to have a chance.
However, a peak level six demonic beast’s mana was not weaker than a human at the Tribulation Realm.
Even though her mana was suppressed by a whole realm, the girl in front of her was still able to hold on. It was already very rare for her to be able to defend so well.
Bai Ling tightly held the short sword in her hand. Her palms were so hard that her knuckles were a little white.
Her eyes were fixed on the human-faced ghost spider in front of her, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.
Her twin ponytails hung by her sides, rising and falling as she breathed.
Behind her were a group of junior sisters who were only in the Nascent Soul Realm. If she fell, the only outcome for them would be that they would be captured by the human-faced ghost spider and turned into insects, ending up in a fate worse than death.
From a certain point of view, falling into the hands of the human-faced ghost spider was even worse than falling into the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
After the human-faced ghost spider caught its prey, it would not kill it immediately. Instead, it would first weave the spider silk into a cocoon and then drag it back to its nest to inject venom.
The venom would not kill the prey. It would only melt the muscles, fat, and other unimportant tissues first.
It would turn these tissues into a liquid that was rich in nutrients. These nutrients could even ensure that the prey would not die for a long time so that it could be preserved for a long time and be eaten by the newly hatched little spiders in the future.
