Divine Transcendence

Chapter 29: I won’t accompany you any longer

Yuan Ming’s arm was charged with force, his muscles bulged, and his fist collided with one of the spider legs on the spider’s face with a "bang" sound.

The seemingly thin spider leg was unexpectedly tough. It didn’t break under the heavy punch, but it was pressed inward and suddenly retracted.

The eerie human face of the spider twisted in pain.

Its other legs also pierced into the cave, brushing against Yuan Ming’s side, and its entire body was like a huge claw, grabbing onto Yuan Ming.

Before Yuan Ming could make a counterattack, its body immediately pressed down, tightly attached to Yuan Ming. The painful expression on the human face disappeared, replaced by an exaggerated smiling face.

The smiling face flipped upward, as if it had moved to the top of its head. Below it, a blood-filled mouth opened, revealing two rows of sharp and thin teeth, with a slender tongue poking out and licking towards Yuan Ming’s cheek.

Yuan Ming watched helplessly as the somewhat sticky tongue licked his face. Even through the animal fur, he felt a burning pain.

He pushed the long sword away with his two ape arms, muscles bulging, and his inner strength exploded, trying to break free from the spider’s lock and escape.

The spider seemed to have noticed his intention and let out a sharp howl. Its legs contracted with all its strength, trapping Yuan Ming tightly. Its bloody mouth did not hesitate and bit down on him.

Immediately, a strong suction came from the wound, and Yuan Ming felt his whole body’s blood rushing towards it, being sucked by the spider.

The intense pain intensified Yuan Ming’s ferocity. His eyes turned red, and he growled lowly, then bit down on the spider’s head.

The spider did not expect Yuan Ming to be so fierce and immediately let go of its mouth, dodging backward.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yuan Ming did not hesitate, and his figure jumped out of the cave and directly leaped down to the ground dozens of zhangs high.

The spider followed closely behind.

As soon as Yuan Ming landed, he threw down the bronze ancient sword and pressed his palm on the ground while pinching his fingers. He shouted:

"Rise!"

Earth Spike Technique was launched again, and a sharp stalagmite pierced out of the ground and stabbed towards the spider falling down.

The spider immediately contracted its eight legs, supporting its body high up, and the stalagmite could not attack its body. Its slender legs also perfectly avoided the spike’s thrust, without any impact.

Yuan Ming cursed, glanced ahead, and saw Ba Yin fighting with the unicorn wolf spider. One of its legs had been cut off and was already at a disadvantage.

The only green wolf beast slave on the side wanted to help but was too weak and dared not get too close, only circling back and forth between the two fighting sides, looking flustered.

"Ba Yin, he... he’s back." The green wolf beast slave saw Yuan Ming jump down from the nearby cliff and run towards them, shouting loudly.

Ba Yin swiped away the attacking unicorn wolf spider and glanced at Yuan Ming, his mouth twitching with anger.

But then he saw the huge figure chasing after Yuan Ming, and his face suddenly changed. He exclaimed, "Human-Face Ghost Spider, how did this guy attract this ghost thing?"

While shouting the name of the fierce beast, Ba Yin couldn’t help but curse Yuan Ming’s ancestors in his heart.Just dealing with a lone unicorn spider was already difficult enough, but now it had attracted a human-faced ghost spider as well. Both were top-level existences among the first-level fierce beasts, and it seemed like they were both determined to take everyone down together.

In an instant, he had the thought of retreating, as nothing was more important than his own life.

However, just as he let his guard down for a moment, the lone unicorn spider’s last remaining leg suddenly thrust forward once again, and Ba Yin instinctively blocked it, only to have it suddenly pull back and swipe upwards.

Ba Yin was caught off guard and a thin cut was opened on his chest, with fresh blood flowing out.

With a grunt, he stepped back and used his claws to press down on his chest, causing his chest muscles to contract and quickly stop the bleeding. However, the flesh and blood at the wound had turned purple, indicating that he had been poisoned.

At this moment, the lone unicorn spider was already following closely behind, forcing him to make a decision. He glanced at Yuan Ming and the human-faced ghost spider rushing over, and suddenly lowered his body, dodging the spider’s attack.

Then, he suddenly pushed off with his legs and pounced to one side.

The green wolf beast tamer looked at Ba Yin, who was rushing towards him, but before he could react, he had already been grabbed by the long mane on his neck.

"Leader, what are you doing..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was lifted up by a huge force and lifted off the ground.

Ba Yin looked at him without saying a word, and with a sudden push of his feet and a sudden burst of strength from his arms, he twisted his waist and swung his arm round, flinging the tamer towards the spider that was chasing them from behind.

The green wolf beast tamer struggled in fear, but he had no control over himself as he was flying in mid-air, unable to find any leverage. He could only watch as his body was smashed towards the lone unicorn spider that was catching up from behind.

Seeing the green wolf beast tamer rushing towards him, the lone unicorn spider thrust out one of its spider legs, piercing through his body, but was also knocked back by the strong inertia, tumbling backwards.

Yuan Ming had already caught up, and seeing this scene, he quickly dodged to the side and ran past the lone unicorn spider.

"What a vicious guy, even attacking his own people like this." He muttered under his breath, but then looked back and saw the human-faced ghost spider still chasing after him, so he quickly increased his speed and ran faster.

Yuan Ming’s transformed white ape had limited speed on the ground, and with the human-faced ghost spider’s stride speed, it was only a matter of time before it caught up with him.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, he suddenly realized with surprise that Ba Yin, who was running ahead of him, was actually slower than him. He was overjoyed.

He gritted his teeth, held the bronze sword in his mouth, swung his arm and rushed towards Ba Yin.

Ba Yin was panting heavily, feeling numbness and pain all over his body, and with the wound on his chest, he couldn’t run at full speed. The poison from the lone unicorn spider was usually easy to resolve by sleeping in his badger beast tamer state for a while, but now it was proving to be a big problem.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly heard a series of urgent footsteps behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw Yuan Ming, who was holding a bronze long sword in his mouth, catching up to him.

Before he could react, Yuan Ming had already flashed to his side and slashed horizontally with the sword.

Ba Yin quickly dodged and angrily asked, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Yuan Ming didn’t answer, but every few steps he took, he would flash over and make a sword strike, unable to hurt Ba Yin, but also making it impossible for him to run at full speed.Seeing that the human-faced spider was getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was only about thirty or forty feet, Yuan Ming finally stopped harassing Ba Yin and left him with a fleeing figure.

Ba Yin was burning with anger but had no way to deal with it. If he could, he would tear Yuan Ming apart right away. But if he got delayed and caught up by the human-faced spider, it would be difficult for him to escape with his speed.

He let out an angry roar, mobilizing the mana from his dantian, pouring it into his legs, forcibly dispelling the numbness, and began to run at full speed again, trying to widen the distance between him and the human-faced spider.

This sudden burst consumed a lot of mana, but the effect was remarkable, immediately extending the distance to about seventy or eighty feet.

However, before he could catch his breath, he suddenly saw Yuan Ming, who was running ahead, squat down. A faint yellow glow appeared on the palm of his hand, pressing it on the ground, and Ba Yin immediately felt that something was wrong.

A strong sense of alert caused him to slow down subconsciously.

Just as he slowed down, the ground in front of him suddenly shattered. With a "crack" sound, a sharp, earthy-yellow stalagmite suddenly burst out, drilling up through the gap in his claws.

If he hadn’t controlled his speed just now and had been a little faster, this stalagmite might have pierced his foot directly.

Although he didn’t get hurt directly, Ba Yin was still tripped by the sudden appearance of the stalagmite. His body lost its balance and fell forward.

The moment before he hit the ground, the ground below his face cracked again.

Another sharp stalagmite suddenly pierced out, aiming straight for his right eye.

At the critical moment, Ba Yin’s palm, which was originally intended to support the ground, swung fiercely at the stalagmite.

With a "bang" sound, the sharp stalagmite was smashed into pieces.

Ba Yin, who was falling rapidly and had one less hand to support him, couldn’t maintain his balance and fell flat on his face.

After this stumble, by the time he got up, the human-faced spider had already caught up, and the distance between them was less than ten feet.

"Ba Yin, I won’t accompany you any longer. Enjoy the rest!"

Five or six feet away, Yuan Ming saw this scene and finally felt a little relieved. He immediately got up and ran forward.

He had already consumed a lot of mana before, and had used the Earth Spike Technique twice in a row, so he was somewhat exhausted. If he stayed and fought, there was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be any problems.

However, after running more than ten feet away, Yuan Ming suddenly heard a roar from behind.

He stopped and quickly looked back, only to see that the human-faced spider had already entangled Ba Yin, and the two were fighting again.

Yuan Ming watched this scene, hesitated for a moment, then ran several feet towards the valley entrance, found a huge rock to hide behind, lay down behind it, and looked towards where Ba Yin and the human-faced spider were fighting.
