Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The External Soul Bone of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang San’s Heartache
Without any hesitation, as Qian Daoliu took over the control of the flying vessel, six dazzling golden feathers radiated from his back. At the same time, Qian Renxue leaped off the craft, swiftly heading toward Lu Yunzhou by following his aura.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the first thing Bibi Dong did upon landing was unleash her vast, ocean-like spiritual power to meticulously scan her surroundings in all directions. She was particularly intrigued by the "treasure" Lu Yunzhou had mentioned.
Unfortunately, after a thorough investigation, she discovered nothing unusual within a ten-mile radius except for a few millennial Soul Beasts. Feeling perplexed, Bibi Dong frowned and muttered inwardly, What exactly is this treasure that Lu Yunzhou mentioned? There's absolutely nothing remarkable around here.
As Bibi Dong pondered, a violet web suddenly shot toward her—it was an attack from a millennial Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Her gaze sharpened, and with her brows furrowed, she instinctively sneered, "A suicidal beast."
Just as she was about to strike and eliminate the arrogant Soul Beast, Lu Yunzhou suddenly acted without warning, intercepting the spider.
At the same time, he murmured to himself, "You tread not the path to heaven yet seek entry to hell. Since you've come to me willingly, don't blame me for being impolite. The treasure on your body—I'll be taking it."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned. As she regained her composure, she thought about Lu Yunzhou's words and became deeply puzzled. Treasure? What treasure could a millennial Man-Faced Demon Spider possess? Could it possibly produce a thousand-year Soul Bone?
But a thousand-year Soul Bone wouldn't be considered a treasure to Lu Yunzhou. After all, he casually gives away ten-thousand-year Soul Bones. So, what treasure could this spider possibly have?
As the thought crossed her mind, Bibi Dong suddenly froze. Her pupils constricted as a realization hit her, causing her to involuntarily swallow several times. Her trembling voice murmured, "Could it… could it possibly be… an External…"
Before she could finish her sentence, a violet millennium Soul Ring rose. At that moment, Lu Yunzhou extracted an extraordinary bone from the spider's body—the millennial External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances!
The shimmering bone in Lu Yunzhou's hands left Bibi Dong thoroughly shocked. After confirming it was indeed an External Soul Bone, her beautiful face revealed a rare hint of fear. Her hand gripping her scepter trembled slightly as she murmured under her breath, "Lu… Lu Yunzhou… are you even human?"
"The External Soul Bone, something countless people go mad over and dream of, is something you casually obtain with ease. This… this is terrifying."
External Soul Bones are miraculous entities, the most unique existence outside of the six primary types of Soul Bones. If the appearance rate of regular Soul Bones is one in a thousand, then the appearance rate of an External Soul Bone doesn't even reach one in ten thousand.
In the Soul Master world, there exists a ranking of treasures most coveted by Soul Masters—the Soul Master's Dream List. On this list, External Soul Bones consistently rank second, surpassed only by the nearly mythical hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
But now?
Lu Yunzhou had casually acquired one, securing the treasure ranked second on the Soul Master's Dream List. How could Bibi Dong not be shaken?
It must be noted that the External Soul Bone on Bibi Dong's body had been obtained only after she hunted countless arachnid Soul Beasts and encountered it by sheer luck.
Regaining her composure, Bibi Dong felt an overwhelming mix of shock, awe, and envy toward Lu Yunzhou.
After scrutinizing the External Soul Bone—the Eight Spider Lances—in his hand, Lu Yunzhou casually stored it away. For him, there was no reason to leave behind something so valuable. Moreover, this Eight Spider Lances might prove immensely useful to him in the future.
At that moment, Qian Renxue arrived.
Seeing the corpse of the Man-Faced Demon Spider on the ground and the expressions of Lu Yunzhou and Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue instantly understood she was too late.
Bibi Dong, her eyes brimming with an arrogant charm, looked at Lu Yunzhou with awe and offered a respectful compliment, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu, on obtaining such a rare treasure. Your discerning eye is truly unmatched. To immediately recognize the uniqueness of this Man-Faced Demon Spider is nothing short of divine. I am truly impressed."
Though she spoke these words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but wrestle with a lingering question: How did Lu Yunzhou know this Man-Faced Demon Spider possessed an External Soul Bone?
If she could acquire this ability, wouldn't treasures like Soul Bones and External Soul Bones be as easy for her to obtain as picking flowers?
For a moment, Bibi Dong found herself deeply yearning for the means to possess Lu Yunzhou's extraordinary insight.
After this brief interlude with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Lu Yunzhou led the group further into the Star Dou Forest, heading toward the Core Region's Lake of Life.
It was well known that beneath the Lake of Life lay an enigmatic and dangerous realm known as the Land of Calamities. This place was Lu Yunzhou's destination.
Lu Yunzhou's goal was to obtain an item from the Land of Calamities that would allow him to break through to the Golden Core realm. However, the cost of acquiring this item would not be insignificant. Thus, to prepare for the worst, Lu Yunzhou had brought along many powerful individuals from Spirit Hall, intending to use them to aid in his breakthrough.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
Tang San, having awakened from his grievous injuries, learned devastating news: his sister, Xiao Wu, had been taken away—by four Titled Douluo, no less. Moreover, Xiao Wu's identity as a Soul Beast had been exposed.
Lying on the bed, Tang San's heart ached inexplicably. At that moment, it felt as though he had lost something indescribably important—a vital piece of his soul.
