Wan Hongzhuang

Chapter 297 Cutting Through Thorns, Forging Ahead

"Wife!"

Wan Lei quickly flew to Fang Xiaoyu's side, standing on the spider's neck and helping her wipe tears from her armor.

"This thing isn't that strong. Its physique is probably just large and its poison potent, which happens to be what we counter."

Wan Lei wiped the water from Fang Xiaoyu's chest.

It was too hard; he felt nothing.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoyu pushed Wan Lei away and retreated herself. Just as Wan Lei was flying backward, a thick spike descended from the sky, narrowly missing him.

*Crack!*

With a crisp sound, the spike pierced the spider's neck and then embedded itself in the ground.

Without a doubt, it was another spider.

"Damn it, still dare to ambush me!"

Wan Lei immediately gathered his thunderclouds, ready to kill this spider.

"Stop, come back!"

From not far away, Fang Xiaoyu's voice rang out.

"What's wrong?"

Wan Lei obediently flew back to Fang Xiaoyu's side. The two stood on a treetop.

"That second spider's attack just now wasn't meant to kill us."

Fang Xiaoyu stared intently at the spider.

At this moment, the spider with the broken leg and blind eye was firmly controlled by another. The four legs on its left were thrashing, trying to attack the other, but the other spider had moved to its right, rendering its attacks futile.

"That female spider is after the male spider. Let them fight first. Once the male spider is dead, the female spider probably won't fare much better.

We can then go up, beat the female spider, and capture it with the Myriad Demon Formation.

The Myriad Demon Formation is full of thunder beasts, which is a bit too monotonous and lacks variety."

Fang Xiaoyu remained calm and collected, crouching on the treetop like a hunting leopard, ready to pounce and fight her prey at any moment.

"How do you know which one is male and which is female?"

"The male spider has brighter colors, the female spider's colors are dull.

The male spider is stout, with a large belly and thick legs.

The female spider has slender legs, a small belly, and is slender overall."

Wan Lei looked closely and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really like that."

"My dear wife is amazing; she knows everything."

Flattery can smooth any path. A few comforting words at the right time will keep his wife happy, and his life will be better.

However, after five years, Wan Lei still hadn't realized that his wife wasn't taken in by such tactics.

These two spiders had no cultivation, only strength, likely only at the Nascent Soul realm, similar to ordinary thunder beasts.

Their advantage, however, was their ability to spit webs to trap enemies and release toxins.

The male spider, pinned beneath, cried out miserably. Seemingly sensing the female spider's location, it opened its mouth and bit the nearest leg.

*Crack!*

After a crisp sound, the female spider's leg was bitten off.

The wound turned green, clearly indicating it had been affected by the male spider's venom.

Just as a venomous snake biting itself would die from its own poison, the female spider was not immune to the male spider's venom.

The female spider roared, raised another leg, and directly pierced the male spider's head.

At this point, the male spider completely ceased to move.

After killing the male spider, the female spider suddenly lowered its head, bit open the male spider's skull, and plunged its mouth in, greedily sucking up the male spider's brain fluid.

There wasn't much brain fluid, and it was finished in a few bites.

Then, the female spider pulled out its leg and began to gnaw voraciously at the male spider's body.

"Wife, listen to me. We'll rush over in a moment, I'll give it a solid blow, then you chop off its legs and incapacitate it as quickly as possible.

Then I'll use the Myriad Demon Formation to capture it. How about that? Isn't this plan perfect?"

"Perfect my ass. Beasts are most vigilant when they are feeding. You won't be able to ambush it. It's better to just release the Myriad Demon Formation to trap it first, and then let the thunder beasts attack it.

Even though it's just one spider, caution prevents calamity. Don't get injured by its desperate counterattack."

"You want to use the Myriad Demon Formation already? You spent years collecting that for me."

Young Master Lei was a little reluctant, much like how if your girlfriend spent a long time and a lot of effort to make you a gift by hand, you wouldn't want it harmed even if you were dying.

"Nonsense. There are thunder beasts you collected in there too. Things are made to be used. If you don't use them, wouldn't all our years of effort be in vain?"

"Alright, wife is the boss. I'm going."

"Go ahead, Doggy!"

"..."

Wan Lei took out the Myriad Demon Formation bead and leaped up, using his lightning escape technique to flash above the female spider.

Then, with a flick of his hand, the Myriad Demon Formation was cast down.

The female spider was suddenly caught by the formation and immediately stopped feeding, turning to attack Wan Lei above.

First, it spat out a stream of spider silk. As the silk attached to the formation, it pulled hard, rapidly ascending.

Wan Lei sneered, extended his finger, and lightly drew in the air. A thunder beast immediately appeared within the formation, spitting lightning that severed the spider silk.

The female spider screamed and fell to the ground. The thunder beast opened its mouth and charged at the female spider.

The two struggled for a long time, and the thunder beast gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Wan Lei sighed and sent out his thoughts. In an instant, hundreds of thunder beasts appeared.

He had no intention of engaging in a one-on-one duel with the female spider with noble martial ethics.

If he could outnumber the opponent and beat them as a group, then he would naturally do so.

In fact, Young Master Lei scoffed at the idea of practicing martial ethics and promoting new customs. If we have more people and you have fewer, we should bully you.

Although, in most situations, he, Young Master Lei, was the one with fewer people and being bullied.

But that didn't stop him from liking to bully others.

At this moment, Young Master Lei was already imagining that when he fought others in the future, it would start as a one-on-one, but he would suddenly summon an army of thunder beasts. At that time, the opponent's expression would surely be one of utter confusion.

Wouldn't that be satisfying?

The female spider was indeed confused.

What the hell? We agreed to a duel, what's with the army?

This is too much bullying... bullying a spider!

Seeing that the several-zhang-tall, adorable little spider was terrified, Wan Lei sighed in disappointment.

What a pity. It's not a person, so I can't appreciate its confused and fearful expression.

Wan Lei directly controlled the formation, casting down a beam of light that landed on the female spider.

The female spider didn't dare to resist at all, not even daring to make a peep, and was directly absorbed by the beam of light.

A spider mark appeared on the Myriad Demon Formation.

The spider mark was black.

The others were pale blue thunder beast marks.

After collecting the Myriad Demon Formation, before Wan Lei could show off, Fang Xiaoyu said,

"From now on, when there are outsiders, don't release the Myriad Demon Formation again, at least don't release the thunder beasts."

"Huh? Why?"

Young Master Lei was unhappy. This was hindering his chance to show off.
