Chapter 15: The Human-Faced Demonic Spider in the Cage
Curiosity is the original sin!
When curiosity arises in a person's mind, it is difficult to suppress it.

Qian Renxue has always been curious about Xue Qinghe.

Qian Renxue was defeated, but she didn’t understand. There were many things she couldn’t figure out.

So why did Xue Qinghe know my action plan?
Could it be that there is a spy among our people?
Even Qian Renxue thought repeatedly about every person she knew in the Spirit Hall during the days she was imprisoned.

Qian Renxue had suspected some people, but it was just a suspicion. If she said that they were colluding with Xue Qinghe, or secretly communicating with the Tiandou Empire, it didn't seem reasonable.

What makes Qian Renxue most curious and puzzled is why Xue Qinghe has so many capable people under his command?
If it weren't for these people, especially the level 97 Titled Douluo and the level 89 auxiliary soul master, even if Xue Qinghe knew his plan, he would not have lost so badly and become a prisoner.

At first she thought that these people were secretly trained by the Tiandou Empire, and Xue Qinghe only had the "first general" under his command.

But during the days of being imprisoned, Qian Renxue discovered that these people were not people hidden secretly by the Tiandou Empire, but completely obeyed Xue Qinghe. Even those Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo did not put on airs in front of Xue Qinghe, and were respectful beyond what one would expect from a powerful man of his strength.

The reason why she was able to hold great power in the Spirit Hall was not Qian Renxue's ability alone, but because she had the support of the Worship Hall and her grandfather Qian Daoliu.

But Xue Qinghe's power is something that even Emperor Xue Ye cannot give him, and the key is that Xue Qinghe is younger than Qian Renxue.

When you become curious about more things, you will become curious about that person and everything she does.

In addition to being curious about the secret of Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue also felt a sense of frustration for the first time.

As Qian Renxue was curious, a strange sound attracted her attention.
The rustling sound was like someone changing clothes, or the rubbing of leaves, mixed with a rustling sound, like something sharp being inserted into the ground.

The source of this sound is the cages under the stands.

Qian Renxue looked cautiously towards the stands, only to see the cage door slowly open, and then the originator of the creepy voice walked out.

It was a black spider, no, it should be a group of spiders, because there was one in each cage.

The sizes of these spiders do not vary greatly. The diameter of their bodies alone is over 1.5 meters. If the length of their eight slender legs is included, the size of these spiders has even reached 3 meters. This size is definitely considered huge among the spider group.

These spiders have shiny black shells all over their bodies, and their long legs are as sharp as blades. The rustling sound before was the sound of the spider's legs piercing the ground.

At this time, some of the spiders seemed to have noticed Xue Qinghe and others in the stands. Many spiders raised their front bodies and looked over. It was this raising of their bodies that happened to reveal the human faces hidden in their lower bodies.

"This is... the human-faced demon spider?! And there are so many of them?!" Qian Renxue frowned and recognized this species of spider.

Because the martial spirit of someone around her was related to spiders, Qian Renxue had previously studied various spider soul beasts and spider martial spirits in the Spirit Hall, so she was able to directly recognize the human-faced demon spider.

The human-faced demon spider is the king among spider soul beasts. Why does he catch so many of them?
Qian Renxue couldn't understand many things that happened to Xue Qinghe, including what was happening now.

Jia Xu also leaned over beside Xue Qinghe at the right time and said, "Your Highness, according to your request, the School Affairs Office and the Spirit Hall worked together to capture a total of 19 human-faced demon spiders aged between 2,000 and 3,000 years in the Xingdou Great Forest. These are the ones below."

"Yeah." Xue Qinghe nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why so many human-faced demon spiders were captured, smart people probably figured it out, Xue Qinghe was after the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lance. The special growth of the external soul bone and its own rare value make it have a high status among soul bones.

However, it is not that easy to obtain external soul bones. You can't expect to get external soul bones by killing a soul beast, but that is a plot in novels.

Xue Qinghe didn't think that he could encounter an external soul bone. According to the setting of Douluo Continent, the probability of generating an external soul bone was almost the same as buying a lottery ticket. So if Xue Qinghe could encounter an external soul bone by his luck, that would be unless he was possessed by the emperor of luck.

If luck doesn't work, then we can only rely on human efforts.

Thinking about the many spirit bones he knew, the first external spirit bone Xue Qinghe considered was Tang San's Eight Spider Lance.

Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall does have an external soul bone, a fox tail, but the original novel does not explain how this fox tail came about.

The origin of Tang San's Eight Spider Lance is very detailed, that is a human-faced demon spider that is more than two thousand years old in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Fortunately, the number of human-faced demon spiders was not large to begin with, and coupled with the age limit of two to three thousand years, the School Affairs Office and the Spirit Hall were able to quickly capture nineteen human-faced demon spiders that met the requirements.

If it were other soul beasts in large numbers, it would be a headache.

However, these human-faced demon spiders only looked up at Xue Qinghe and others on the stage, and soon their gazes turned back to the front.

Because in front of them, there was a soul master standing respectively.

These soul masters include people from the School Affairs Office and the Spirit Hall, and their soul power levels happen to be at level thirty-nine.

Xue Qinghe did not ask these people to be at the 29th level of spirit power like Tang San. Tang San could absorb the two thousand year old human-faced demon spider spirit ring at the 29th level because he had the protagonist's aura. Xue Qinghe did not come to see the bloody fireworks when he asked his subordinates to absorb the two thousand year old human-faced demon spider spirit ring at the 29th level.

Moreover, even a soul master of level 39 is no match for these two thousand year old human-faced demon spiders.

Everyone soon fell into a disadvantage. There was even a soul master who was pierced through the body by the human-faced demon spider's legs in just two rounds, and then swallowed directly in front of everyone.

"Xu Chu, help them!" Xue Qinghe couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Following Xue Qinghe's order, Xu Chu casually stepped on the ground with his right foot. The soul power of his whole body surged, and a phantom tiger appeared behind him. The tiger opened its mouth and roared, shaking the mountains and forests.

Under Xu Chu's pressure, the movements of those human-faced demon spiders were directly restricted. A few of them wanted to break free, but they all ended in failure in the end.

After being shocked by Xu Chu's strength, the soul masters below did not forget their mission. They quickly stood up and killed all the human-faced demon spiders that were oppressed by Xu Chu and could not resist.

Afterwards, purple soul rings symbolizing a thousand years floated up from the corpses of the human-faced demon spiders.
