14: Fierce battle
"Great Might Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Dharma Spell, this humble monk can tell you're not human at a glance!"
Han Yi gazed at the S-rank scene, which was enough to make children cry and was unsuitable for minors, and his heart was filled with frantic complaints.
Before Han Yi could answer, the "enchanting woman" spoke again.
"Although my Nannan is only six years old, she is well-behaved and sensible. On the day she went missing, she was wearing a light green satin dress, with two pigtails tied upwards on her head, and she was holding a plain cloud handkerchief in her hand," the pale human face seemed to recall something, and tears welled up slightly in the corners of its eyes: "Oh yes, she also had two shallow dimples when she smiled."
Crackling sounds.
The light of the relit fire starter illuminated Han Yi's face, which flickered between bright and dark.
Gazing at the bizarre Human-faced Giant Spider, Han Yi nodded slightly, his eyelids lowered, seemingly as calm as usual, but the flickering light in his eyes betrayed his inner tension!
Just a quick glance before, he had found that this 'Human-faced Giant Spider' had a value as high as '50~50', while Han Yi's strength, even fully armed, was only '13~20'!
He was trying to find a way out!
"Madam, could you please describe what happened on that day in detail?"
Han Yi feigned composure, speaking one word at a time.
"On that day, Nannan was playing under the ancient cypress tree in the courtyard, and I was doing some needlework with Madam Wang next door......"
"For some reason, I felt dizzy. When I woke up, there was no one beside me, only Nannan's handkerchief nearby. The street was completely silent and dead, the sky was grey, and the neighbors and houses were enveloped in grey mist......"
"Ah ah ah, mist....... grey mist........"
The 'Human-faced Giant Spider' suddenly went mad, retreating a few steps. Immediately after, its eyes turned crimson, filled with ferocity, and wisps of black qi flowed over its massive body.
The Giant Spider's movement posture was not like ordinary spiders that crawl by alternating their eight limbs back and forth. Instead, its front half stood upright like a human, using only its remaining four legs to crawl, and its two appendages were tightly holding a handkerchief, looking extremely strange and twisted, with a subtle sense of absurd incongruity.
Seeing this inexplicably bizarre scene, Han Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and he was somewhat speechless.
"I was wrong, I was really so naive and innocent. I thought this was just a low-martial world where I could add points and level up......"
"Bad person, it must be you who hid my good Nannan!"
The voice of the beautiful female-faced Giant Spider suddenly sharpened, and it rushed over fiercely, bringing gusts of wind.
"Hah!"
Han Yi had already mobilized the qi and blood within his body, secretly preparing his knife. Seeing the strange Giant Spider charge at him, he lowered his body and swung his knife forward to meet it.
Clang
A crisp sound.
The standard long knife struck the Giant Spider's hard shell. No, it should have struck the layers of graphite-like black qi covering the shell, from which gas seemed to be rising.
The well-made long knife snapped into two!
With the long knife broken, Han Yi's value also dropped from '13~20' to '13~15'.
The Giant Spider seemed to know that Han Yi had lost his weapon. It suddenly changed direction, opening and closing its chelicerae, charging towards his waist like a mud truck, intending to bite him!
Flying Swallow Kick - Swallow Flight!
Han Yi's body moved like a swallow, qi and blood surging in his legs. He weaved and shifted within the cave like a nimble Flying Swallow.
There was no other way; having lost his weapon, he didn't dare to directly confront the Giant Spider, which was like an armored beast, with just his bare fists.
He could only counterattack with small items like quicklime and dark darts while dodging, but they had no effect when hitting the layer of black qi, like clay oxen entering the sea. Even if a few hidden weapons penetrated the weak points of the black qi, they were bounced back by the 'Giant Spider''s outer shell!
Looking at the rolling black qi on the Giant Spider's body, a thought occurred to him, "This black qi seems to be the same as the black qi surrounding the 'Yin Qi worm'......"
However, Han Yi still hadn't figured out how he had absorbed that 'Yin Qi worm' back then.
"Perhaps, it really needs skin-to-skin contact to be effective?" A thought flashed through his mind.
"Huff, huff."
Han Yi was breathing heavily, seemingly having consumed too much qi and blood......
The power of qi and blood is like a person's strength. If one exerts too much force at once, and consumption cannot keep up with recovery, they will naturally become exhausted and feel tired!
However, this 'Human-faced Giant Spider' seemed to have endless energy, showing no signs of fatigue at all!
Pouncing, crashing, jumping!
The cave was a mess from the impact, with rocks crumbling down from the walls!
Although Han Yi managed to dodge using the agile footwork provided by 'Swallow Flight', he also expended a large amount of qi and blood as a result.
Furthermore, although this monster had no intelligence, it seemed to possess a trace of cunning, an innate combat instinct.
Several times he tried to break out through the cave entrance, but the Giant Spider actually spat sticky silk to seal the path!
It seemed to know that Han Yi could not harm it, intending to slowly drain Han Yi's physical strength, enjoying the pleasure of a cat playing with a mouse!
"If this goes on, I'll be exhausted to death in this cave sooner or later......" Han Yi's thoughts raced, "I need to think of a way......"
Another flash of movement.
Han Yi feigned exhaustion, leaning against the cave wall, breathing heavily.
The Giant Spider did not attack immediately. Instead, it slowly hid in the darkness of the cave, as if observing prey caught in a net, struggling in its death throes.
It slowly approached Han Yi from above, as if patiently waiting for Han Yi to completely lose his ability to resist before launching a fatal blow!
"Now!"
Han Yi roared.
He lightly struck a black jar with a rag stuffed into its opening with a flint, then his arm muscles bulged, and he fiercely threw it at the 'Human-faced Giant Spider'!
Instantly, sparks flew, thick smoke billowed, and the entire cave became bright as if exposed to the scorching sun.
The Giant Spider was surrounded by flames, and rolling fire oil burned on its body!
On the cave wall, the beautiful human face let out an utterly irrational, frantic scream, and in an instant, it rolled and fell from mid-air.
This was precisely Han the Great Inventor's self-made 'Otherworld Version Burning Bottle', made from fire oil, rags, and pottery jars!
Holding the 'Otherworld Version Burning Bottle', his value suddenly increased to '13~65'.
Fire element is extremely effective against insect element!
But before Han Yi could feel smug for a few moments, the scene before him left him somewhat dumbfounded.......
