"He can actually become invisible!"
The four-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider suddenly vanished, surprising Flender slightly.
Then, his gaze sharpened, and a smile appeared on his face. "Heh heh, if it were before, I might not have easily detected your invisibility, but now..."
Before he finished speaking, Flender raised his hand, activated an instant soul skill, and dozens of energy blades flew towards a spot, directly blasting the Human-Faced Demon Spider out of invisibility.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider sustained some injuries but was not severely harmed and continued to spit out many more webs.
"Since you won't leave, then don't leave at all!"
This Human-Faced Demon Spider truly wasn't afraid of death. Liu Erlong was getting a bit angry. Many fireballs appeared in front of her; some incinerated the webs, while others slammed towards the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the Human-Faced Demon Spider became invisible again.
"Heh heh, it's determined to fight me to the death. As expected of a Human-Faced Demon Spider."
Zhao Wuji could now see through the Human-Faced Demon Spider's invisibility, thanks to the immortal herb significantly boosting his mental power. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to see through before.
"Let's see where you'll hide!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Owl's Predation!"
A black soul ring flashed on Flender's body, and a majestic and dignified four-eyed owl suddenly appeared in the air. The owl locked onto the invisible Human-Faced Demon Spider, then swooped down.
Its sharp talons directly snatched the Human-Faced Demon Spider. The Human-Faced Demon Spider continuously struggled, striking with its spider legs and netting itself and the owl together with its webs.
Just then, a huge fireball descended from the sky.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider wanted to dodge, but it couldn't break free from the owl's talons in time.
Boom!
The fireball exploded, incinerating both the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the owl.
"Screech~"
The Human-Faced Demon Spider shrieked amidst the blazing fire. Fire was its bane; webs and poison were useless. It could only struggle ceaselessly.
With great difficulty, it escaped, covered in wounds, only to find Flender already waiting nearby.
A volley of energy blades had already flown towards it!
The Human-Faced Demon Spider had no time to react and was pierced all over by the energy blades, letting out an even more piercing scream.
"Annihilate!"
Liu Erlong suddenly arrived, moving incredibly fast. A fiery punch slammed into the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
This time, the Human-Faced Demon Spider died.
If it had fled at the first encounter when it couldn't win, it wouldn't have died. But it wasn't afraid of death and insisted on fighting to the end.
One could say it got what it asked for.
Flender and Liu Erlong, working together, could deal with it without even needing to use their martial spirit true bodies.
"This is... a soul bone!"
Everyone was surprised to discover that a black soul bone appeared after the four-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider died.
"An unexpected surprise!"
"It's a right arm soul bone."
"Haha, what good luck!"
"So that Human-Faced Demon Spider didn't leave because it was in a hurry to deliver us a soul bone!"
They hadn't expected a soul bone to appear; it was truly a delightful surprise.
And this was a forty-thousand-year-old soul bone, extremely rare and precious.
"Yun Han, this soul bone is for you."
After deliberation, Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji all agreed to give this soul bone to Xu Yunhan, considering it part of their repayment for the immortal herbs they received.
Xiao Wu was naturally happy for Xu Yunhan to get the soul bone.
"Thank you all."
Xu Yunhan didn't act coy. He needed soul bones to enhance his strength. Having received this soul bone today, he would take better care of them in the future.
"Why be so polite with us?"
Zhao Wuji patted Xu Yunhan's shoulder. "Absorb it now, lest something unexpected happens later."
Flender smiled. "This way, Yun Han will have two soul bones, and both are ten-thousand-year soul bones."
They didn't know Xu Yunhan also had an external soul bone, making it three in total.
Xu Yunhan absorbed the soul bone very quickly.
"Yun Han, what's the soul bone skill?"
Everyone was curious.
"It's an invisibility skill."
Xu Yunhan used the newly acquired soul bone skill, suddenly vanishing on the spot.
"Invisibility skill, right, that Human-Faced Demon Spider could also turn invisible."
"Strange, I actually can't see through Xu Yunhan's invisibility!"
"I can't see him either."
"Me neither!"
"This time, that Human-Faced Demon Spider's invisibility seemed much stronger!"
"Perhaps it's due to Yun Han's special physique and martial spirit."
Flender, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, and Xiao Wu, all four of them, couldn't see through Xu Yunhan's invisibility.
Xu Yunhan felt it was because of his powerful mental energy; people with much lower mental energy couldn't detect his invisibility.
"This invisibility skill can currently last for ten minutes," Xu Yunhan reappeared and said to the four of them. "As my soul power level increases, the duration will also increase."
"Ten minutes, that's already quite long!"
"We can't even detect your invisibility. It's estimated that even ordinary Titled Douluo would find it hard to detect. That's terrifying! You can hide without being found, and also strike by surprise!"
"Good! With this invisibility skill, Yun Han's combat power will greatly increase. It will be a huge help whether for self-preservation or offense."
"Yun Han, congratulations."
"I wouldn't have gotten it without your support."
"We're all family, no need for formalities."
"Alright, let's continue forward. We've been lucky today, and things should go smoothly from now on."
The group continued deeper into the Star Dou Forest.
After entering the activity range of soul beasts over fifty thousand years old, everyone became even more vigilant.
They encountered some fifty to sixty thousand-year-old soul beasts, which they could handle. Those soul beasts were smarter. Upon realizing that Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji were not to be trifled with, they attacked once and then fled.
"Careful!"
"Good heavens, it's a giant Fire Python!"
"It's over eighty thousand years old!"
"Everyone, be careful! Zhao Wuji, protect Yun Han and the others."
Facing the suddenly attacking eighty-thousand-year-old giant Fire Python, Flender and Liu Erlong immediately activated their martial spirit true bodies and attacked together.
Flender flew in the air, while Liu Erlong stayed on the ground.
The battle erupted instantly, intense from the start.
A while later, the battle remained fierce, and Flender and Liu Erlong weren't gaining any advantage, remaining at a disadvantage.
"Teacher Zhao, go help Teacher Erlong and the others. We can protect ourselves here."
Xu Yunhan said to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji hesitated.
"Teacher Zhao, don't worry. Yun Han and I have self-preservation abilities. Even if we encounter danger, nothing will happen to us for a while," Xiao Wu said.
Zhao Wuji thought for a moment, nodded, then activated his martial spirit true body and joined Liu Erlong and Flender in battle.
Three high-level Soul Saints, with Liu Erlong and Flender's soul power having reached Level 80.
But even together, fighting against an eighty-thousand-year-old giant Fire Python was strenuous.
The two sides battled fiercely, but neither could quickly defeat the other.
A few minutes later, Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji retreated together, confronting the Fire Python from a distance.
Both sides were wary of each other and didn't attack again.
"Let's go, we'll slowly retreat."
Flender spoke up.
He couldn't deal with this Fire Python for now, thinking of returning after he obtained his eighth soul ring.
This Fire Python was more suitable for Liu Erlong. If they didn't encounter another suitable one later, they would return, and get revenge in the process.
Seeing Flender and the others retreat, the Fire Python didn't block them. It wasn't foolish; it didn't want to fight to the death with three strong humans. Even if it won, it would be severely injured, giving other hostile soul beasts an opportunity.
Xu Yunhan and the others retreated directly to the ten-thousand-year soul beast activity range. It was almost dark, and they planned to rest for the night, then go deeper tomorrow morning.
