Chapitre 305: Drain, Eight Spider Lances (1)
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu sitting there anxiously watching him. His expression was blank a moment, then the bloody light in his eyes gradually withdrew, and his mind also gradually recovered to normal.
Actually, even he himself didn't know just what he did just now. Piercing the Man Faced Demon Spider with Eight Spider Lances was all something he did subconsciously while his mind was blanked out. Now, seeing Xiao Wu was still alive, Tang San's heart also subsequently came back to life. Then he noticed his current situation.
The Man Faced Demon Spider still constantly twitched below him, pulse after pulse of powerful energy entering his body via Eight Spider Lances. What made him astonished was that after this ruthless energy had circulated one turn within him, it would again be transmitted to his Eight Spider Lances to coagulate at his vertebrae, and the vertebrae and eight ribs where Eight Spider Lances attached became incomparably hot, absorbing the energy like a deep abyss.
This was the first time Tang San truly used the Eight Spider Lances' drain ability, and the target was a Man Faced Demon Spider.
Eight Spider Lances' drain ability could originally only temporarily give him an immediate energy boost, and after a short term of use it would automatically disperse. But right now the target of the drain was the same as the source of Eight Spider Lances, another Man Faced Demon Spider, and Eight Spider Lances showed an autonomous reaction; or to say that it was transforming itself.
The energy sucked out of the Man Faced Demon Spider was absorbed and transformed by Tang San's external spirit bone, becoming its own energy. This was also a chance coincidence. If Tang San hadn't already reached the fortieth rank of spirit power, just the condition for evolving Eight Spider Lances, the energy now being absorbed from the Man Faced Demon Spider wouldn't directly shift into the external spirit bone.
External spirit bones really were too rare, that's why even Grandmaster didn't have too much research into it. Actually, the evolution of external spirit bones didn't stop because of different spirit rings. As long as a Spirit Master absorbed a new spirit ring, it would evolve together. The conditions for evolution were just the same as for obtaining a new spirit ring: the Spirit Master's strength reaching the next stage.
Under the conditions that Tang San already had a full forty ranks, and the Eight Spider Lances had absorbed the energy most suitable to it, how would it still hesitate? Right now those originally three meter long Eight Spider Lances gradually extended to four meters, and on the surface orderly rows of small barbs began to grow, exactly the same as the six thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider below him. The difference was that right now Tang San's Eight Spider Lanes completely appeared just as deathly pale as while draining, and under this pale white, red and white colored light roamed dizzyingly to create a dazzlingly beautiful pattern on the Eight Spider Lances.
Along with returning to consciousness, Tang San very quickly made a proper judgement about his own condition. He already inferred the reason from the circumstances of his body, and simply let the absorption continue. The benefits to his Eight Spider Lances from a similar Man Faced Demon Spider were clear and easy to see. Even though right now he didn't know in what respect it would show, he still urged the spirit power within him to speed up the absorption. Even though the Man Faced Demon Spider was immune to the similar to his own poison Tang San had, Tang San's Eight Spider Lances not only possessed the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison but also the ice and fire poisons from those two immortal treasure herbs.
The two kinds of extreme ice and fire forces rising from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Precious Apricot wreaked havoc within its body, and further adding the destruction from the previous dragon flame, right now this Man Faced Demon Spider didn't have the slightest bit of strength to resist and could only let Tang San keep draining. Its vitality swiftly drained away, and the eight spider legs supporting its body gradually softened, its whole body starting to lie down on the ground, its outer shell gradually turning ash grey.
Xiao Wu carefully put the Yearning Heartbroken Red back in her chest. She also had her own grievances. There was a burst of lingering fear in her heart; if it wasn't for the Yearning Heartbroken Red, perhaps she would have had to part with Tang San forever.
Liu Erlong stood at Xiao Wu's side, stroking her head. Even though she didn't say anything, the ominous energy in her eyes largely left, instead revealing a tender expression.
Xiao Wu raised her head, looking at Liu Erlong. She suddenly felt a kind of maternal brilliance from this brutish slaughtering corner. This kind of feeling was extremely cozy, and further adding her tiredness after sustaining injuries, she couldn't keep from leaning her head against Liu Erlong's soft thigh.
"Good child, with me here, I won't let anyone or anything bully you again."
Liu Erlong said softly.
Everyone couldn't keep from looking at Liu Erlong with astonished gazes. Was this still that slaughtering corner that was just brimming with killing intent and seemingly looking to massacre everything?
"Teacher Erlong..."
Xiao Wu's eyes revealed a grateful light, even so much that they had a somewhat teary brilliance. At this moment she recalled her own mother. Wouldn't her mother also frequently look at her with this kind of gaze? But, she was already gone.
"Xiao Wu, do you want to become my direct disciple?"
Liu Erlong asked.
Xiao Wu nodded without the slightest hesitation,
"I do. Teacher."
She was clever, and while speaking she knelt and bowed to Liu Erlong as a student formally becoming apprenticed.
Liu Erlong pulled Xiao Wu from the ground, letting her lean against her chest,
"I don't need those clichéd courtesies. Xiao Wu, teacher hasn't married all her life, right now I still don't have any close relatives. I don't want you to call me Teacher. If you don't dislike it, I would like you to call me mom."
Hearting Liu Erlong say this, Flender to the side couldn't keep from sadly lowering his head, and Grandmaster's gaze was already stupid. Looking at her, for a moment all sorts of feelings welled up, lips quivering about to speak, but not a word came out.
Xiao Wu was equally shocked. Looking at Liu Erlong's hopeful eyes, her already reddened beautiful eyes began to grow misty, and weeping held Liu Erlong tightly,
"Mom, mom..."
'Mom', this word was held such a significant place in Xiao Wu's heart. It had already been eight years since her own mother left her, how much she wanted to call out this word! Right now Liu Erlong not only gave her a feeling of a replacement mother, but at the same time Xiao Wu found the comfort of maternal love. For a moment her heart surged, and she immediately revealed her true feelings.
Liu Erlong softly caressed Xiao Wu's long scorpion braid, a faint smile on her pretty face, teardrops uncontrollably rolling down her face.
She loved Grandmaster, but he never dared accept this taboo love. For all these years Liu Erlong's heart had been empty, but this moment it was like she found someone to entrust with her heart, placing her hopes on her just now accepted daughter. This moment it was as if Grandmaster's shadow over her heart rocked a little. While Liu Erlong sensed the pure feelings Xiao Wu released, in her heart she secretly vowed that even if she had to spend her life to protect her, she would still be willing.
"Erlong, congratulations."
Flender suppressed his dashing heart with difficulty, speaking to Liu Erlong who was smiling from ear to ear.
Liu Erlong looked at Flender, a sentimental light in her eyes,
"Boss Fu, I have a daughter. Did you know? I have a daughter."
"Yes, I know. From hereon, you won't be lonely, you have a daughter."
Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Flender couldn't control the tears in his eyes. Didn't he also love Liu Erlong? For Liu Erlong's sake he had never married, for Liu Erlong and Grandmaster's sake he had buried that love deep within his heart. But, he had never seen his beloved live happily. Could this be blamed on Grandmaster? No, it couldn't, it could only be blamed on how fate toys with people.
At this moment, when he could feel Liu Erlong's current mood, how couldn't he be happy for her?
Everyone stepped forward to congratulate her one after the other, only Grandmaster stood there, unable to take even a step, his heart aching as he looked at Liu Erlong. He knew that he really owed her far too much. But between him and her it was as if a tight knot was tied, and no matter what it couldn't be undone. He was happy that Liu Erlong had obtained a daughter, but at the same time how couldn't he be sad for his and Liu Erlong's fate? How much didn't he want to hold Liu Erlong in his arms and declare his love for her? But, it was impossible. That shadow of 'bloodline', that haze, always hung between them.
Tang San finally finished draining, and a faint halo of light began to release from that six thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider. As long as he wished, right now he could already absorb this spirit ring.
But right now Tang San wasn't even slightly in the mood to absorb spirit rings. Withdrawing Eight Spider Lances, he rushed over to Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."
There were no tears in Tang San's eyes, but his voice was somewhat distorted, what kind of emotions would get his voice to change like this?
Xiao Wu raised her head from Liu Erlong's bosom, and seeing Tang San almost within reach her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
Liu Erlong sighed lightly, releasing her embrace and sending Xiao Wu towards Tang San.
Despite all the people around them, and further the few spirit beasts glaring like tigers outside, Tang San didn't pay them any attention and fiercely spread his arms, burying Xiao Wu's delicate body deep in his own embrace. He didn't say anything about being sorry, but his teeth had already broken his lip. How couldn't he regret handing the Fragrant Beautiful Silk Immortal Treasure to Xiao Wu? If not for that, how would Xiao Wu have been ambushed? This wasn't the first time Xiao Wu had been hurt for him. Tang San hated himself, hated his inability to protect Xiao Wu.
