Chapter 28: Murder a person with a borrowed knife
As Yuan Ming was in a stalemate with three young wolf beast slaves, Ba Yin finally caught up and joined the battle without hesitation. He rushed out and directly rammed into Yuan Ming with brute force. In a hurry, Yuan Ming could only cross his arms in front of him, but he was still hit by the immense force and flew backwards, hitting the mountain wall hard. Yuan Ming felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood had already spilled from his mouth.
"Indeed, very strong," Yuan Ming judged in his mind. With his current strength, he was definitely not a match for Ba Yin in a head-on fight, especially with three others assisting him.
Just then, Yuan Ming suddenly heard rustling sounds above his head. Then, a string of small stones rolled down from the mountain wall behind him.
"Finally arrived," Yuan Ming murmured. He then suddenly released his fur technique and transformed back to his human form. This move was like disarming in battle, which surprised Ba Yin and the others. They couldn’t figure out what he was planning to do.
Yuan Ming had no intention of explaining and immediately took out a paper bag from his pocket. He roughly tore it open and sprinkled the red and white powder all over his body, emitting a pungent smell.
Ba Yin wrinkled his nose and then heard one of the young wolf beast slaves say, "Boss Ba Yin, this seems to be... Beast Repelling Powder." Although he didn’t know what was going on, he already sensed that something was wrong.
"Don’t worry about it, go up and kill him," Ba Yin shouted.
The three young wolf beast slaves rushed towards Yuan Ming, who had not used the fur technique again and instead turned to climb up the mountain wall. One of the young wolf beast slaves ran quickly, grabbed a rock protruding from the wall with its front paws, and jumped up, opening its bloody mouth to bite Yuan Ming’s leg.
Just as its teeth were about to sink into Yuan Ming’s leg, a sharp black bone spur flew past Yuan Ming’s back with a "whoosh." It pierced through the young wolf beast slave’s head, splattering blood everywhere. The young wolf beast slave’s body was carried by the strong inertia of the bone spur and slammed onto the ground, dying on the spot.
The other two young wolf beast slaves were frightened and stopped their charge. They all looked up at the huge black head that had just emerged from a large hole in the rock wall above Yuan Ming.Its head was as big as a cow’s, covered in short black fur. Two rows of eight compound eyes were neatly arranged, with a pair of curved hook-like mouthparts below, shining with a dark glow. Above its head was a sharp black horn.
"What the hell is this?" exclaimed a wolf beast slave.
His voice immediately attracted the strange head, and all eight eyes looked over. The sharp black horn on its head flashed, and a black bone spike shot out.
The wolf beast slave reacted quickly and dodged, but the bone spike grazed his back, leaving only a scratch.
The strange head immediately moved, extending its head forward and poking out of the cave. Its entire body and eight spear-like black spider legs crawled out of the cave.
Its body clung to the steep cliff, and its eight spider legs were firmly nailed to the crevices of the rock, as stable as Mount Tai.
"A horned wolf spider? How could there be such a thing here?" Ba Yin couldn’t help but exclaim.
As he spoke, he looked at the wolf beast slave who had been scratched by the bone spike and had already fallen to the ground, with black blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
The remaining wolf beast slave was petrified in place.
"Such a strong toxicity," Ba Yin said, and a black bone spike flew towards him.
Suddenly, the strange face grinned, but there were no teeth or even a visible mouth. It was like a face stuck on the spider’s forehead.
This eerie scene made Yuan Ming’s scalp tingle, and he instinctively wanted to escape.
However, the cave was shallow and had only one exit, so Yuan Ming was trapped inside.He had no choice but to use the Feather Transformation Technique, turning into a white ape. He randomly grabbed a bone from the pile of white bones, not knowing what kind of beast it belonged to, and was about to throw it using his Stored Power Arm.
However, the beast bone, which had been dead for who knows how long, shattered with a "crack" before he could even use it.
Yuan Ming hurriedly picked up another one, but it also shattered as soon as he squeezed it.
Cursing silently, he reached for another bone and was about to throw it when he suddenly realized that it felt different in his hand. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was not a bone at all, but rather a rusty bronze ancient sword.
At that moment, the human-faced spider launched its attack first. One of its slender legs shot out like a steel spear, stabbing directly at Yuan Ming with incredible speed, even faster than the Single-Horned Wolf Spider.
Yuan Ming had no time to think and hastily blocked the attack with the sword.
"Clang!" A sharp sound rang out as the sword collided with the spider’s leg, sending sparks flying.
Yuan Ming felt a strong force coming at him, causing him to involuntarily retreat. Upon inspecting the sword in his hand, he found that it had only lost a bit of rust and was otherwise unharmed.
The human-faced spider attacked again, this time with two of its legs stabbing at Yuan Ming from both sides, launching a continuous assault.
Yuan Ming swung his sword to block the attacks while desperately pushing towards the cave entrance.
The limited space inside the cave restricted his movements, making him extremely passive.
As he pushed against the spider’s legs and approached the cave entrance, the abdomen of the human-faced spider suddenly contracted, and a small hole in its belly sprayed out a stream of white liquid. The liquid expanded into a white spider web in mid-air, enveloping Yuan Ming’s head.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming blocked the stabbing spider leg with his sword and grabbed the spider web with his other hand. He swung his arm, wrapping the web around it, and then rolled it into a knot.
A sharp, intense pain immediately spread through his palm, and a powerful corrosive force seeped into his flesh. Even with the protection of the white ape skin, his palm was instantly corroded, leaving several wounds.
The burning pain caused Yuan Ming’s eyes to widen in anger, and a fierce aura that seemed not to belong to him was also stimulated.
He let out a roar, gripping the sword with one hand to block the attack while his body lunged forward. The injured palm clenched into a fist, and he threw a punch directly at the stabbing spider leg.
