In the middle of the forest, a trace about two meters wide appeared.

The reason why it was able to attract Zhang Xiaoyu's attention.

It's because this trace is too conspicuous.

It's not that there are no traces of monsters in the forest, but most of them are shallow.

This trace, on the other hand, is completely different.

On both sides of the trace, weeds and shrubs were corroded, and some black blood could be faintly seen on the ground, exuding a strong fishy smell.

"Demon Explosion Spider?"

Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated slightly, and then suddenly realized.

This trace was obviously left by the Demon Explosion Spider from before.

And looking at the appearance of this trace, the Demon Explosion Spider obviously left not long ago.

Zhang Xiaoyu was a little moved.

This Demon Explosion Spider is of a very high grade, and the demonic energy it provides is definitely much higher than that of the Demon Hunting Leopard.

Now the accumulation of demonic qi is far from enough, and Zhang Xiaoyu also wants to know what kind of changes will occur after he raises the demonic qi to a critical value.

Strengthen the body?

Or a new ability.

Everything is unknown.

Human beings are often full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown.

Zhang Xiaoyu at this moment is undoubtedly in this mood.

No longer hesitating, Zhang Xiaoyu followed the traces and quickly chased after him.

It was already afternoon, and the forest was dark.

Fortunately, where the Demon Explosion Spider passed, the traces left were extremely clear, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't have to be afraid of losing it.

Along the way, because he had to be careful of the sneak attacks of other demon beasts, Zhang Xiaoyu walked very slowly.

At dawn, the traces finally came to an end.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked around, there were no new traces, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Could it be that this Demon Explosion Spider has recovered from its injuries and has run away?"

Puzzled, Zhang Xiaoyu had no intention of giving up, carefully observed the surroundings, and finally found a trace.

With a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaoyu took the bow and arrow in his hand, released his spiritual power, and cautiously chased forward along the traces.

That magic explosion spider should have been seriously injured before, although it didn't bleed anymore, but after passing by, there was still a small amount of breath left.

And the Demon Explosion Spider is a highly poisonous demon beast, and the residual breath is also obvious.

Highly toxic, with a corrosive effect, such traces are still obvious.

After following the trail again, the forest gradually decreased.

What appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes was a huge black rock.

Unlike the lush greenery of the forest, the rocks here are completely oppressive black.

And these black rocks, for some reason, exude a peculiar smell, and there is a trace of black gas on them.

Standing on the periphery of the black rock and observing for a while, the spiritual power was released, and he didn't feel the breath of the demon beast, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't feel a little strange.

Without further thinking, Zhang Xiaoyu soon found a hole in the rocks.

At the entrance of the cave, there is still the breath of the Demon Explosion Spider.

The entrance to the cave was very large, Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated, bent his bow and arrows, and shot several arrows in a row.

The arrow did not enter the hole, there was no sound, and there was no sound of a demon beast.

Zhang Xiaoyu was temporarily relieved.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the Demon Explosion Spider is in this cave.

Between demon beasts and humans, it is an endless state, and the demon beasts at the level of the beast emperor are extremely proud.

Generally speaking, the demon beasts of the Beast Emperor level have a very strong territorial awareness, and if they sense the breath of a human being, they will react.

Zhang Xiaoyu was looking forward to it, and while carefully sensing the surrounding situation, the speed under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.

Inside the passage, it stinks and gets wet.

The twisting passage continued downward for about a kilometer, and the front began to gradually become larger.

It seems that this channel is the same as the horn, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside.

Take out a glow-in-the-dark stick from your backpack, flick your wrist, and the glow-in-the-dark stick flies forward.

The dark space gradually became clearer.

This kind of luminous stick is also a kind of scientific and technological product, in fact, the eyesight of a warrior can see something clearly even in the dark.

It's just that Zhang Xiaoyu doesn't like this feeling of blackness, so he decisively uses a glow-in-the-dark stick.

The space lit up, and Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp.

In front of it, there is a huge space, which looks at least more than 1,000 square meters and is more than 50 meters high.

The space is an irregular circle, and the rocks inside are also black.

And in the center of the space, there is a small tree about two meters high.

The small tree is also black in color, and the main one is that it bears ten pitch-black fruits on it.

It was too far away, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't smell what this fruit smelled like, but this fruit actually exuded a trace of black gas, which looked extremely weird.

Looking to the right along the small black tree, Zhang Xiaoyu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

About a dozen meters away from the small tree, there was a huge demon beast lying on its stomach.

This demon beast Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't be more familiar, it was the Demon Explosion Spider that disappeared before.

However, at this moment, the Demon Explosion Spider's body curled up into a ball, and its eight huge spider legs hung weakly, completely losing its breath of life.

"Uh, dead?"

After carefully sensing it with mental power for a moment, this magic explosion spider still didn't react.

Zhang Xiaoyu was still not at ease, holding a bow and arrow, and shot several ordinary arrows in a row.

The arrow hit the body of the Demon Explosion Spider, making a clanging and crisp sound, and sparks flew everywhere, and the Demon Explosion Spider remained still.

Zhang Xiaoyu was relieved.

Throw out a few glow-in-the-dark sticks again to completely illuminate the entire space.

I have to say that the effect of this high-tech product is really awesome.

With a new new energy source, the lighting effect is almost above the kilowatt incandescent lamp.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Xiaoyu walked forward slowly, and after a short time, he had already walked in front of the Demon Explosion Spider.

Now that he was sure that the Demon Explosion Spider was dead, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't think much about it, cast his claws, jumped to the top of the Demon Explosion Spider's head, and split its triangular head with one claw.

A purple-black crystal about the size of a normal human skull, lying quietly inside.

Zhang Xiaoyu's face was overjoyed, he took out the black crystal, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

"Beast Emperor-level dark attribute demon beasts, in addition to providing demonic energy, will they provide some other abilities?"

Thinking that after eating the brain marrow of the wolf king and the demon ape before, he had the claw skill.

Zhang Xiaoyu began to think about it.

Strictly speaking, this Demon Explosion Spider was the first Beast Emperor-level demon beast that Zhang Xiaoyu killed.

The wolf king and demon ape I met before, because they were bloodline demon beasts, and Zhang Xiaoyu's strength was too low at that time, and he didn't know much about demon beasts.

What level the specific two demon beasts reached, Zhang Xiaoyu himself did not know.

Whether it is a beast emperor-level demon beast that can give some abilities, or only a bloodline demon beast can give it, Zhang Xiaoyu doesn't know.

Sitting cross-legged on top of the Demon Explosion Spider's head, Zhang Xiaoyu began to recover his qi and blood.

Although he had the experience of absorbing once, in order to be safe during the period, Zhang Xiaoyu still planned to restore his qi and blood to the peak and then absorb it.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaoyu opened his eyes, and the power of qi and blood consumed in his body had returned to his peak state.

Without thinking much about it, holding the black demon core in his arms, Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes closed slightly, and he began to run the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Skill.

The exact same situation as before reappeared.

The black demon core turned into a whirlpool, and a trace of black demonic qi was constantly sucked into Zhang Xiaoyu's body, and the corpse of the demon explosion spider under him was also constantly weakening.

In the end, the corpses of the Demon Explosion Spider all merged into the black vortex, and behind Zhang Xiaoyu, a tall pitch-black demon shadow became clearer and clearer.

The whole demon shadow was shrouded in a black mist, and it was impossible to see the specific appearance, only a pair of blood-red eyes, which were extremely clear.

This absorption, which lasted more than six hours.

When Zhang Xiaoyu opened his eyes, the demon core in his hand had disappeared.

This time the absorption was surprisingly smooth, with almost no discomfort.

Looking at the system panel, the demonic qi has reached seven thousand.

It's close to the threshold of 10,000.

Standing up and looking around, Zhang Xiaoyu finally set his eyes on the small black tree not far away.

There were a total of ten fruits on the small tree, all of which were pitch black, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know if this thing could be eaten, so all the fruits on the tree were picked off and put into the backpack.

Whether you can eat this thing or not, take it back and talk about it.

And just when Zhang Xiaoyu turned around and was about to leave, his face suddenly changed, and then, before he had time to think about it, his body twisted and shot backwards.
