God Of Slaughter - Chapter 8

The Jade Blade Spider

The moon was like a silver plate hanging on the night sky.

The warriors were all training quietly. Mo Yanyu hid herself inside the foliage of a huge ancient tree, breathing long. Karu stood against another tree, reading a volume of poison encyclopedia joyfully. Medicine slaves were lying disorderly on the wet ground behind the Ground dragon.

Shi Yan woke up from training, and then observed and calculated his surroundings quietly.

Mo Yanyu was at the head of the troops while Karu at the rear. They two seemed not care about Shi Yan, but according to their position, apparently they were both on guard of Shi Yan who was in the center of the troops.

Johnson seemed to know that Shi Yan would make his move tonight, so he didn’t train but focused on Shi Yan who was ten metres away in front of him. Once Shi Yan made a move, he would notice it and stop Shi Yan.

*Too bad.* Shi Yan thought to himself. He waited for them to let their guard down.

As time passed, the bright moon disappeared. Dawn was about to come, but Shi Yan hadn’t gotten a chance to escape yet, so he was a little anxious. After a moment’s of hesitation, he decided not to wait and was about to take action.

“”Kaka!Kakaka!”
At that moment, a strange sound came from afar. Something was heading towards this direction slowly.

As the Profound Qi flew forth and back in his arms, Shi Yan’s eyes suddenly showed some light with excitement.

“All on alert!” Mo Yanyu shouted, when she lifted herself up on the ancient tree. Staying in a high position, she looked to the distance for a while, then screamed: “A Jade Blade Spider!”

All the warriors woke up from their training process.

The warriors were all wearing a rigid face. Before Mo Yanyu uttered anything, they took out the weapons beside them and crowded around the ground dragon in a circle, 5 or 6 metres away from each other.

Karu packed the book away, frowning, he walked up to the dragon, and ordered in a low voice: “Keep an eye on the medicine bottles on the dragon!”

“Yes Master!” The warriors responded in unison.

The medicine slaves woke up one by one as well. Hearing the Jade Blade Spider was nearing, they were all frightened and ran to the ground dragon on their own initiative. Apparently they all knew how cruel the Jade Blade Spider was.

“*jingle!”

A bunch of keys flew out from Mo Yanyu’s hand to land under Johnson’s foot. “Johnson, open the shackles on them! Or they will be killed by the Spider! Hurry up!” Mo Yanyu urged.

Johnson picked the keys up and looked up at Mo, then pointed to Shi Yan: “Including him?”

“Yeah. I don’t want him to die easily.” Mo showed no patience on her face.

“Kid, be well-behaved. I will keep an eye on you!” Johnson snorted. He released the shackles on Shi Yan first, then walked to the rest slaves and freed them one after another.

*Thank God!*
As the shackles were released, Shi Yan felt extremely relaxed and smirked in his mind.

The Shi Family was an aristocratic family with a Martial spirit. Though the owner of this body wasn’t a warrior, he loved adventures and searching for historic remains so much. He was also familiar with all sorts of demon beasts. So when Mo Yanyu mentioned the Jade Blade Spider, Shi Yan was extremely happy that his chance of escape was coming!

The Jade Blade Spider was a level 2 demon beast, whose eight legs were as sharp as knives. They lived in groups and liked to wander at night. They appeared in a group of 5 or 6 every time. The spiders were cruel and loved eating humans. Once they came across humans in the Dark Forest, they would never spare them.

Demon beasts were always much larger in size than humans. With thick and coarse skin, they move faster than humans. Commoners would either die or be injured whenever they met one. Only skilled warriors could escape. Though The Jade Blade Spiders were mere level 2 demon beasts, they made their appearance in groups of 5 or 6, and normal warriors couldn’t move faster than them, thus it was hard to compete with them.

To met the Jade Blade Spiders in the Dark Forest was a bad situation for anyone, for there was nothing valuable on its body. And they were aggressive as they moved as agile as the wind. They would start attacking anytime they saw a human, and would never leave without getting anything -- including injuries .

Shi Yan approached the Ground Dragon quietly, stood by those panicing medicine slaves and started to observe what was happening, not in a hurry to revolt.

“Shit! Eight of them!”

Mo Yanyu cried on the tree, frowning with a rigid face. “It will be a nasty fight. Get ready! Remember, not to pursue and attack! The spiders will have the advantage if we retreat into the thickets! Do not fight in the there!”

“Kakaka! Kaka!”
The sound of a knife cutting the earth approached. Soon, they saw two jade Blade Spider who were 10 metres long and 1.5 metres tall. The whole body of a Spider was snow white and as large as a bus, whose eight legs were like daggers, bright and sharp.

The Spiders paddled their daggerlike legs and advanced in an extremely nimble and fast way. They arrived here in an instant. Those legs reflected icy light when moving and easily scared everyone. It was not hard to imagine what tragedy would happen once one was being cut by the legs.

Seeing the Spiders show up one by one, the warriors were all silent. Mo Yanyu had jumped down from the tree minutes ago. She was standing in the front of the troops, getting ready by inter winding her fingers with radiant lightning. While Karu sat relaxed in the dragon sedan with indifferent eyes, not showing any indication of fear.

Soon all the 8 spiders showed up. They were not stupid at all, as they separated and surrounded the Ground Dragon, and then shooting forth like a eight cars..

With a harsh whistling sound, the eight spiders started the battle at the same time. White leg raised up into the vast sky, they flew forward at the same time, towards the warriors who were around the Ground Dragon.

At that moment, the air was filled with silver and white knives. The warriors reacted quickly. They thrust their weapons, while shunning the spiders’ attack, towards the beasts’ waist and eyes.

Everything descended into chaos.

The Jade Blade Spiders surrounded the Dragon. White legs crashed down. Warriors dodged to the left and the right, and kept thrusting their weapons. Mo Yanyu’s Martial Spirit broke out, too. Her hands were twined by lightning and kept radiating Verdant crescent slashes, which fell upon the spiders and left them trembling.

“Shooo!”

One of the warriors sustained a cut on his torso by a spider leg before he could react. His organs spilled out of him along with his desperate cry. Then he fell heavily onto the ground.

The medicine slaves were so frightened that they couldn’t help themselves to hide beneath the Ground Dragon. Some slaves lost their mind. They ran in between the spider legs in order to escape, but were nailed to the ground heavily by their legs and died instantly.
Shi Yan contained himself, eyes filled with a strange light. He almost didn’t move behind the warriors, the shackles ringing with clear sounds.

“Crack!”
The warrior in front of Shi Yan, who was of second sky of the Elementary Realm, bumped into another warrior while moving. Before he could elude, one spider leg cut through his neck and his head was sent flying. Shi Yan was showered with his blood.

Shi Yan’s eyes were blurred by the blood. Suddenly a desire of slaughter broke out in his body. The cyclones in his seven hundred and twenty meridians swirled madly while a potent strength welled out of the meridians.

The headless body of the warrior was spurting out blood ,y.. An air current ,which could only be sensed by Shi Yan ,was filled with despair, anger and regret, and seeped into every pore on Shi Yan. It flowed along his veins until it reached all of the seven hundred and twenty meridians.

In a trance, Shi Yan felt as if he was back at the blood pool again, where he had absorbed all that blood into his meridians as well. The blood had changed his meridians, produced Cyclones, and enlarged its capacity, which accelerated the speed to absorb blood.

At this time, wisps of air current, combined with the despair and hatred of the dead warrior, went into his body through the same way, from the veins to the meridians, in a very rapid speed. The cyclones in his meridians spun hard as if digesting the air currents. Too nefarious!

In ten or so seconds, the air current stopped entering his body. The dead body of the warrior had dried up, as if the blood and Profound Qi were all sucked out of it. Like a dry mummy!

The desire to slaughter emerged in Shi Yan’s heart. When the seven hundred and twenty meridians spun in his body, the power of despair, fear, cruelty multiplied as well, which urged Shi Yan to begin a massacre.

“shwish!”

A spider leg flew towards Shi Yan’s head. Surprised, Shi Yan controlled his urge to kill and moved behind another warrior to escape that strike.

“Chee!”

That warrior was blocked by the spider, when he thrust his weapon into the spider’s eye with all of hist strength. The blind spider went insane and brandished its leg into the warrior’s waist. The warrior was cut into two pieces from the waist and died soon.

After moving near that warrior, when Shi Yan was just about to find a safe zone, things changed again!

The absorbing power of his meridians erupted again! The air current of rage and regret from the two pieces of body insanely rushed into his vein and meridians.

In a instance, that warrior became mummified too.

Shi Yan was dumbstruck with amazement.

Without a second thought, he assumed that there was another Martial Spirit hidden in his body. This Martial Spirit was based on his meridians, which was able to absorb a dead body’s power. Shi Yan was frightened by this evil Martial Spirit.

Just then!

A Jade Blade Spider let out a strange whistle, and the remaining six spiders flew back into the thick forest quickly.

Apparently they had noticed that it would be hard to fight with this troop. After two of them died, they finally withdrew.

Shi Yan’s face turned cold. He stopped thinking about that weird Martial Spirit at once and then moved all the Profound Qi into his feet. He dashed out with those Jade Blade Spiders as fast as a whirlwind.

He could only run away among the spiders.

Suddenly a warm stream welled out of the meridians into the Profound Qi inside Shi Yan. His thin Qi was twice strong as before!

Shi Yan thus gained more confidence and went into a state of ecstasy. He looked back to Mo Yanyu afar ,running along with the spiders. He said coldly: “ Mo Yanyu, wait and see, i will fuck you one day!”

“Catch him!” Mo’s slim body trembled, her eyes on fire, as she chased all the way after Shi Yan.

Karu was even faster!

This vicious alchemist kept quiet on the ground dragon as if waiting for something. When Shi Yan ran away with the spiders, Karu jumped up from the dragon and flew high after Shi Yan instantly as an eagle.

“Kid, I’ve waited for so long.” Karu smirked in an evil voice when he was still up in the sky.
