Chapter 79 The Evil Spider's Trap, The Giant Shadow Nail
Dongfang Jun is a direct descendant of the Dongfang family and receives a considerable amount of family resources every year. The three people who came with him are only from a branch family and do not receive many cultivation resources each year. Rather than competing with Dongfang Jun for this fire-type spiritual seed, it would be better to give him face in exchange for some cultivation resources.
"I want the fire-type spirit seed. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you die a little easier," Chao He said coldly as he stepped out from the shadows.
As soon as Chao He finished speaking, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dongfang family. Someone angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are, daring to snatch things from our Dongfang family? I'll give you three minutes to get out of our sight."
"Who do you think you are? Heh, how dare you talk to me like that? Who gave you the courage?" Chao He said, taking off the sun hat he was wearing. When the disciple from the Dongfang family who had just cursed Chao He saw his appearance, he took a few steps back in fright.
"Chao... Chao He".
"The Dongfang family, right? I seem to remember you having a girl named Dongfang Qing'er, right? She tasted pretty good." Chao He said, licking his lips as if reminiscing.
"You bastard, how dare you mock the disciples of our Dongfang family!"
"Teasing? Oh, you might have misunderstood. I meant that it tastes quite good."
Upon hearing Chao He say these words, the four members of the Dongfang family broke out in goosebumps, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
How could they not be scared? Chao He is a notorious serial killer. They originally thought that their clansman, Dongfang Qing'er, had been kidnapped by Chao He, but who would have thought that the perverted Chao He would actually eat her? Just thinking about it sends chills down their spines.
"That Chao He is utterly inhuman. Jiang Han, let's get ready to make our move." Tang Yue stared coldly at Chao He in the reservoir below. If Jiang Han hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have already rushed in.
Tang Yue glanced at Jiang Han with slight displeasure and asked coldly, "You brat, what do you mean by pulling me along? Don't you want to bring this heartless scum to justice?"
"No, look down there." Jiang Han pointed to the reservoir below.
Inside the reservoir below, Chao He looked at the four members of the Eastern aristocratic family and smiled eerily, "Actually, I arrived before you. This Evil Spider Trap is a gift I carefully prepared for you."
Chao He's laughter was quite eerie, like the piercing cry of a vampire bat. As Chao He roared, a spider web covered in a black, viscous liquid descended from the sky. The shadowy figure of an evil soul spider could be vaguely seen on the web, its pairs of scarlet eyes gleaming with a greedy light that was terrifying!
Upon seeing the black spider web and the Evil Soul Spider, Dongfang Jun's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Oh no! It's a cursed Evil Spider Trap! Run!"
As Dongfang Jun finished speaking, the other three members of the Dongfang family showed panic in their eyes. They, as members of a branch family, had never seen such magic that bound the whole body with invisible black spider silk. They only knew that after being entangled by black spider silk, as long as they closed their eyes and tried to release magic, an evil soul spider would appear in their spiritual world and devour their souls, turning them into empty shells without souls.
Although the four members of the Dongfang family were not weak, their magical energy had been almost completely depleted in the previous battle, leaving them like lambs to the slaughter in front of the Evil Soul Spider.
"Look, Teacher Tang Yue, if you had rushed down just now, you probably wouldn't have fared much better than those four from the Dongfang family," Jiang Han said calmly, releasing his grip on Tang Yue's wrist.
"You already guessed that Chao He had a backup plan?" Tang Yue asked, staring at Jiang Han.
Jiang Han explained, "Teacher Tang Yue, your IQ seems to be a bit off. Did your intelligence go nowhere? Have you forgotten that Chao He disappeared for a while? I think this Evil Spider Trap was set up around that time."
"Hopefully they have mind-based and light-based magical artifacts, otherwise they're doomed." Tang Yue was powerless against the curse-based Evil Spider Trap. She majored in fire magic and minored in shadow magic, and neither of these skills could break curse-based magic. She could only pray that one of the four members of the Eastern Family had a mind-based or light-based magical artifact.
She is a judge and has a duty to save people, but now she can only watch helplessly as the four are devoured by the curse.
She couldn't act; even if she did, she couldn't save the four members of the Dongfang family. She had to wait until Chao He, that murderer, lowered his guard to collect the fire-type spirit seed before making her move. Only then would she have a chance to subdue Chao He.
The four members of the Dongfang family, entangled in black spider silk, clearly felt their souls being slowly devoured by some evil force. Their faces were glazed over, and their pupils began to dilate.
The only one who put up any resistance was Dongfang Jun, who shouted with a ferocious expression, "Chao He, if you dare to kill us, the Dongfang family will never let you get away with this!!"
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of the trial, why would I be afraid of your Dongfang family?" Chao He laughed mockingly.
After Chao He finished speaking, he shifted his attention away from Dongfang Jun and the others, and looked at the severely cracked bottom of the reservoir. He could clearly feel the scorching temperature in the cracks at the bottom of the reservoir, and the scorching sensation became more intense the closer he got.
Feeling the scorching air, Chao He's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Very good. After refining this fire-type spirit seed, my strength will greatly increase, and I can do whatever I want. Hahaha."
Once he refines the fire-elemental spirit seed, the huge gap between him and high-level mages can be bridged, and his fire magic will increase exponentially. Then let's see if those blind hunter mages and judges will still dare to provoke him.
"Boom!!" Chao He couldn't wait to blast open the cracked bottom of the reservoir. As the hole exploded, a scorching pillar of flame shot into the sky. Looking at the pillar of flame, Chao He's face twisted with excitement.
The quality is quite good; it's a pure, unblemished crimson flame—Rose Flame!
The flame awakened by an ordinary mage is crimson red and belongs to the mortal category. As long as they awaken fire magic, they can control this flame. But what is a fire spirit flame? It is a spiritual flame nurtured by heaven and earth. The temperature of this flame is far higher than that of an ordinary flame, and its power is also more violent.
While Chao He was still excited, Tang Yue, who was hiding in the shadows, rushed out first. Her graceful body moved quickly under the shadows of each tree, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Yue arrived behind Chao He.
Black star trails rapidly intertwined beneath Tang Yue's feet, eventually forming a dark star map.
After completing the star map, Tang Yue stretched out her arms and a faintly visible giant nail gathered in front of her chest. That giant nail was the Giant Shadow Nail, a mid-level shadow magic. The Giant Shadow Nail contained a strong dark power, which even caused the surrounding tree shadows to be severely distorted.
The Giant Shadow Nail pierced through the trees and struck Chao He's shadow. Unlike other magical attacks, the Giant Shadow Nail targeted not Chao He himself, but his shadow.
Chao He's gaze was drawn to the crimson pillar of flames before him, and he did not notice Tang Yue, who had ambushed him.
After the giant shadow nail accurately hit Chao He's shadow, Chao He's body trembled violently, and both his shadow and body were nailed down and unable to move.
Giant Shadow Nail is a binding spell. Although it cannot harm the enemy, it can seal the enemy's movements and thoughts like an acupuncture point, preventing them from casting spells for a short period of time.
