With the small sausage in his belly, the detoxifying effect showed in a moment, that flow of black qi following the arm upwards immediately stopped spreading, reversing direction. But, this only continued for a very brief time, that black qi had not even passed Fatty's shoulder before it suddenly stopped decreasing, a moment later it unexpectedly once again spread upwards.
Oscar's complexion changed greatly,
"Not good, my little sausage is unable to break up this poison, too fierce. Fatty, how did you manage to get poisoned?"
Big drops of sweat continuously rolled off Ma Hongjun's forehead, clearly he was enduring enormous pain. Even though he had Zhao Wuji's assistance, the resisting effect of the two's spirit power wasn't great enough, the black qi was still spreading, and Fatty's palm was even more already beginning to fester.
From Fatty's scream up till now, only a short period of time had passed, that's all. That poison's severity made everyone turn pale with alarm.
Fatty while enduring the enormous pain with clenched teeth, with difficulty said:
"I was curious to touch one of the spider legs on Tang San's back and became like this. Tang San, those spider legs of yours are poisonous."
Tang San startled, light flashing in his mind, suddenly recalling something,
"Fatty don't move. Everyone get out of the way, do not under any circumstances again touch the points of my spider legs."
While speaking, he came before Fatty with one big stride, in spite of Fatty's palm already festering, he directly lifted the hand to hold it up. Right now, Tang San's palm in a moment changed into jade color.
A bizarre scene appeared, even Oscar's small sausage was unable to remove the poison, but after Tang San's palm held Fatty's hand, it unexpectedly rapidly withdrew along its former path, dull dark purple liquid continuously flowing into Tang San's palm and disappearing unseen.
In only the time of several breaths, Fatty's arm had already recovered to normal, the wound on the palm also beginning to disseminate bright red blood.
"What is after all going on here?"
Apart from Tang San this question simultaneously appeared in everyone's hearts.
Seeing that Fatty was out of danger, Tang San also breathed out. He knew everyone had numerous questions, but was in no hurry to explain. After releasing Fatty's hand, with quick steps he arrived before that already dead Man Faced Demon Spider, lifting his hand to press on it.
The Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse had by now already become completely gray, lacking any life force. Tang San only use a minute amount of spirit power, at once causing a concentrated series of cracking sounds. That Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse unexpectedly shattered into fragments.
"I understand."
Combined with his sense from the previous meditation, Tang San finally roughly understood the sequence of events.
"From now on, no one come into contact with the spider legs on my back, these spider legs contain the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison. When I absorbed the spirit ring, for some reason, I also completely absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison within my body. Why these circumstances would be like this perhaps we can only see if Grandmaster can clearly understand. Its most expert spiderweb and my Blue Silver Grass should also based on the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring after mixing produce a certain variation. As for the actual degree of variation, I can only return to slowly experiment. All my attributes received a not inconsiderable upgrade, especially the two areas physical strength and speed. Spirit power also increased greatly, to my senses it's seemingly even more than thirty first rank."
Zhao Wuji asked:
"Then what's going on with these spider legs on your back?"
Tang San said with a wry smile:
"Like with absorbing all the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison, I also don't know why something like this would occur. Those spider legs do not appear related to my absorbing the spirit ring. I'm able to control their movement, if only somewhat awkwardly."
Dai Mubai said:
"Then can you withdraw them? You can't be like this always. People would consider you a monster."
Tang San helplessly said:
"Aren't we all monsters? I'll try."
While speaking, he condensed his spirit power and transmitted it to his spine. Issuing an order to those eight spider legs to recall.
A bizarre scene appeared, those spreading open three metres long spider legs slowly folded, bending twice to fit closely together, afterwards bit by bit merging into Tang San's body.
Tang San only felt some tickling on his back, nothing worth mentioning. During this process, the three spirit rings over his body all flared brightly. Tang San could clearly feel his spirit power being rapidly consumed. Evidently, putting away these spider legs required the support of spirit power to carry out.
As no less than a third of Tang San's spirit power was consumed, all the spider legs finally completely merged into his back. Tang San could distinctly feel those eight spider legs had not disappeared within his body, rather than changing into eight bizarre energies, from his spine they fit in closely over eight of his ribs.
"If they can be put away it's fine."
Zhao Wuji nodded to Tang San,
"These spider legs are quite good. If they truly are like the Man Faced Demon Spider's spider legs, then, little San your strength is at once even more powerful. Eight three metres long spider legs that can be controlled at will is completely equivalent to eight pikes. With the poison, if it's as poisonous as the Man Faced Demon Spider, then it should be neurotoxin in addition to corrosive poison. From even little Ao's small sausage being unable to remove it, it can clearly be seen just how violent the poison is."
Tang San all along pondered, the process of obtaining this Man Faced Demon Spider spirit ring was extremely painful, at present having already finished absorbing it, the things he obtained were more than common Spirit Masters absorbing many spirit rings. Let alone the attributes themselves substantially improving, and possessing the ability he most hoped to obtain, and on his back these eight spider legs Tang San also didn't know whether he should be happy or concerned about. After all, he didn't know what consequences conditions like these would bring him in the future.
Right now, Tang San even more missed his Teacher, if Grandmaster was here, perhaps these questions could all be answered.
"Well, don't think about it right now, everything can wait until we return."
Zhao Wuji wore a smile looking at these children before him, his mood greatly relaxed,
"Although this time we came across not a few inconveniences, and also went through danger a number of times, in the end we dealt with them. Oscar, Tang San and Xiao Wu have smoothly obtained spirit rings and advanced to the Spirit Elder realm. The crop is certainly pretty good. It's also time to go back. Returning to Shrek Academy, we're setting off."
Everyone cheered in chorus. The students had a number of times been in danger of death, now everything was already settled and they were at last returning home. The seven students looked at one another, an intangible deep connection extending between everyone's hearts. Undergoing this time's visit to Star Dou Great Forest, whether obtaining spirit rings, or without obtaining them, right now the only thought was to return to the Academy, comfortably lying down to sleep in their own beds.
If saying that when coming here the seven were still somewhat estranged, then, by now their relationship had undoubtedly pulled much closer. The previously least accepted by everyone Ning Rongrong also used her actions to gain everyone's approval, and in the end between life and death she herself also felt the meaning of the word 'friends'. Before a group even more outstanding than herself, what could she still feel superior about?
Although some time had already passed, because of using Spirit Avatar, Zhao Wuji's strength only had fifty percent of his peak condition, therefore, everyone were still extremely careful while leaving Star Dou Great Forest. Not only were everyone provided with one of Oscar's mushroom sausages and Recovery Sausages, but also still maintained the most defensive formation.
While walking out of Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu recounted the story she previously told everyone to Tang San, also telling him about obtaining her third spirit ring.
"Xiao Wu, what is your third spirit ring ability?"
Tang San curiously asked.
Xiao Wu giggled, saying:
"Secret, I'll tell you after we've returned. Little San, how did you kill that Man Faced Demon Spider? At that time you were alone. Even if it was an injured Man Faced Demon Spider, its attack power should still have been extremely terrifying. Moreover it was still venomous."
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Tang San suddenly started,
"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot about it. Teacher Zhao Wuji, wait a moment before going on."
By now, they were already approaching the edge of Star Dou Great Forest, although they still saw some spirit beasts, for the most part they were ten year and hundred year levels, no cause for concern.
Zhao Wuji halted, looking at Tang San,
"What's going on?"
Tang San's right hand swiped at Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges, taking out the Zhuge Godly Crossbow. Xiao Wu mentioning killing the Man Faced Demon Spider made him remember, that day his Godly Zhuge Crossbow had after being loaded twice not been discharged. If the mechanism was kept loaded for a long time, it would harm the crossbow's body. Fortunately, only one day had passed, right now there was still time to release the tension.
When the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was loaded it must be relieved by shooting, this also was one of its drawbacks.
Seeing the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in Tang San's hand, Xiao Wu suddenly understood,
"You used it to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider. This thing's power is indeed formidable, the Man Faced Demon Spider's eyes couldn't endure it."
The others naturally heard Xiao Wu's words. Because they were previously in a tense situation, no one had paid attention to how the Man Faced Demon Spider had died, afterwards Tang San also began absorbing the spirit ring and everyone were only concerned about his safety. Right now hearing Xiao Wu mention it, they recalled what kind of terrifying existence the Man Faced Demon Spider was, looking at the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in Tang San's hands, it was hard not to show astonished gazes.
Tang San used action to tell everyone how this Godly Zhuge Crossbow was used. After the business in Star Dou Great Forest this time, in his heart he already acknowledged these companions. Mechanism type hidden weapons were also not Tang Sect's true secrets, he didn't care about concealing it.
Raising his hand, aiming the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at a big tree to the side, Tang San moved the switch.
Gabeng, Gabeng, a successive mechanical sound resounded, everyone only felt a blur before them, immediately followed by a successive pupu sound echoing.
How fast that momentary burst was the students couldn't say, even Zhao Wuji's expression changed.
Among everyone, the fastest no doubt was agility attack type Spirit Master Zhu Zhuqing, but even she reached the conclusion that she absolutely would be unable to escape from the kind of firing speed the Godly Zhuge Crossbow had.
Everyones' complexions changed, looking dumbstruck at each other.
As everyone reached the tree, they clearly saw, on that tree that would require three large men to encircle, right now already appeared two rows of altogether sixteen finger sized little holes. Light shone through the holes, and one could see in one end and out the other.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask:
"Tang San, what is this thing? How did you make it?"
Tang San held up the Godly Zhuge Crossbow before its owner,
"I call it a Godly Zhuge Crossbow. It's a kind of extraordinarily potent mechanism type hidden weapon. Anyone could use it. Filled with forty eight crossbow bolts, after each time the mechanism is set it can by the mechanism launch sixteen bolts in a moment. Like just now. With the mechanism set it has to be shot, otherwise after the mechanism is stretched for too long, the crossbow will take damage. Because the strength of the mechanism included in this kind of crossbow is very great, even metal will be unable to easily endure it. This is also the drawback of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow."
