Tang San wasn't just talking nonsense. His Purple Demon Eye could already see a kilometer away, and even though there were many trees blocking the view, he could still see the creature rapidly approaching through some gaps.
Everyone stood up.
Oscar glanced in the direction Tang San was looking, but didn't see anything. He asked in confusion, "Tang San, are you mistaken? There's nothing happening."
Tang San stood on a tree, his eyes flashing with purple light, and said in a serious and rapid tone, "I'm not mistaken. It'll be here soon. It's a large black spider, with a main body diameter of over one and a half meters, and eight spider legs that are all over three meters long."
As soon as he finished speaking, Oscar and the others heard a rustling sound. It sounded like someone changing clothes, or perhaps the friction of leaves. Although it was faint, the continuous sound finally made everyone realize that Tang San wasn't lying.
Zhao Wuji's mental power had also sensed the approaching giant spider. He said in a low voice, "This spider is heading straight for us, and its target seems to be us. Tang San, come down. Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Tang San leaped down and stood at the front of the team.
In fact, before Tang San spoke to warn them, Ao Tian had already frowned. He was the first to discover the approaching spider, and he also recognized the type of spider it was.
This was a Human-Faced Demon Spider, known as the nightmare of small Soul Beasts, the life-devouring entity of evil, the object of hatred for all Soul Beasts, and a wicked killer…
With so many titles, it was enough to show how terrifying this Soul Beast was.
What made Ao Tian frown wasn't the strength of this Human-Faced Demon Spider; its cultivation was only just over a thousand years old.
What he was concerned about was how the Human-Faced Demon Spider appeared here. Was it a coincidence? Or was it destined?
A flash of golden light flickered in Ao Tian's eyes, and the world before him was completely different.
He could vaguely see, through layers of obstacles, about five or six hundred meters away, that countless black threads were drifting from the Human-Faced Demon Spider. To be precise, these black threads seemed to penetrate from the void and were wrapped around the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Though these threads were somewhat blurry in Ao Tian's eyes, he firmly believed his own eyes, and he could also feel a strong aura of death on these black threads.
He was very sure that the scene others saw was different from what he saw. The reason he could see a different scene was because he had used a divine ability from the Dragon Clan's inheritance—the Eye of Destiny!
In the long years before, he hadn't cultivated this divine ability. It was only after he first appeared in Wuhun City, saved Bibi Dong, and then discovered Qian Xunji was abusing a maid and giving birth to Qian Renxue that he became interested in the so-called destiny.
The Eye of Destiny began to be cultivated from that time.
However, this divine ability was extremely difficult to master. Even with his cultivation level, he found it difficult to grasp the basics. After all, something like destiny involved a level that was too high, not as simple as comprehending a law.
He wanted to perfect the world within his body, and he also needed to comprehend the Power of Destiny. Cultivating the Eye of Destiny would help him understand the Power of Destiny.
Although this divine ability was difficult to practice, he found a shortcut: staying by Tang San's side. He was certain that as the protagonist of the original story, Tang San would be of some help to his cultivation of the Eye of Destiny.
Over the years, he had conducted many small experiments on Tang San. He found that once he interfered with Tang San's destiny, Tang San's experiences would deviate from the original story. But when he stopped interfering, Tang San's destiny would return to the original story.
For example, this time. In the original story, Tang San encountered the Human-Faced Demon Spider because he saved Xiao Wu, who had been taken away by Er Ming. Now, the Human-Faced Demon Spider had come to him personally.
Although the process was somewhat different, the result was the same.
Ao Tian knew that the deviation in the process was due to Xiao Wu, because Xiao Wu was with him instead of Tang San.
In Ao Tian's perception, it was as if an invisible hand was manipulating Tang San's destiny. Even though Tang San's life had deviated slightly due to his interference, the overall direction was still progressing towards the original storyline.
It was precisely these mysterious events occurring to Tang San that finally allowed Ao Tian to touch upon the mysterious power of destiny, finally being able to vaguely perceive a trace of the Power of Destiny.
And at this moment, the black threads wrapped around the Human-Faced Demon Spider were threads of destiny, representing the destiny of death.
This meant that the Human-Faced Demon Spider was heading towards death.
"Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, Xiao Wu, what are the three of you doing?" Zhao Wuji roared.
Tang San, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had all prepared for battle. Oscar and Ning Rongrong retreated to the back, while Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing stood at the forefront. Only Ao Tian and the other two stood there motionless.
Zhao Wuji was both angry and furious. Danger was upon them, and they were still standing there like fools, did they want to be food for the Soul Beast?
Although he could easily crush this Soul Beast, Ao Tian and the other two's reactions had disappointed him too much.
Were these the flowers grown in a greenhouse? Spoiled by comfort, they were frightened into a stupor at the first sign of danger?
Hearing Zhao Wuji's roar, Tang San, Gu Yue Na, and Xiao Wu finally moved to the front of the team.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider was still rapidly approaching, but it was still some distance away.
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "The aura emitted by this Soul Beast isn't very strong. Its cultivation should be just over a thousand years. It's perfect for you to practice with. Give it your all. I'll be watching from behind. I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary. I hope you won't disappoint me."
After saying that, he stood behind Ning Rongrong and Oscar, controlling the situation from the back.
His martial soul had already been released. With a single thought, he could use his Gravity Squeeze soul skill to compress the spider Soul Beast until it couldn't move. Therefore, he wasn't at all worried that Tang San and the others would be in danger.
"Teacher Zhao, what kind of Soul Beast is this?" Oscar asked, his voice trembling with nervousness.
Although he had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to train many times, he was still just a food-type soul master, and he couldn't help but be a little scared.
Zhao Wuji said, "I don't know yet. We'll have to see what it looks like to find out."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile..." Ning Rongrong spun and leaped, quickly chanting. After releasing her martial soul, she consecutively used two soul skills, power enhancement and speed enhancement, which landed on the five people in front of her, including Ao Tian.
Ahead, Ao Tian, Gu Yue Na, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing stood in a row, while Tang San, responsible for control, stood behind them.
All five people had already released their martial souls. Of course, the martial souls on Ao Tian and Gu Yue Na were fake, but they could still pass for real.
"Ao Tian, what kind of Soul Beast is this?" Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask.
Listening to the increasingly approaching sound, she felt a bit of reluctance.
Gu Yue Na's face showed no such reluctance, because she had already identified the species of this spider.
"Human-Faced Demon Spider," Ao Tian replied.
"Ah—" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Even Soul Beasts loathed and feared it; the Human-Faced Demon Spider's reputation wasn't for nothing.
Xiao Wu had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for many years. When she was weak, she had been terrified of this kind of Soul Beast.
The Human-Faced Demon Spider was extremely bloodthirsty and highly aggressive. Both humans and Soul Beasts were targets of its attacks, and thus, became its food.
"Then... kill it," Xiao Wu said.
