Chapter 124: Desperate Situation
As an opponent, the demon poison spider obviously didn't expect that Tian Jihong would really choose to fight with him, and he could also achieve certain achievements. However, as a remotely controlled puppet, it did not show much surprise, and was driven by its combat instincts, and did not stop attacking for a moment when its body swayed.
Ben also hoped that he could use the flaws exposed by the other party's body tilt to reverse a certain disadvantage, but at this time, he was forced backwards by the two fangs that fell from the sky. Tian Jihong only saw the chelicera at the front end of the head and neck of the demon poison spider, and the two fangs as sharp as short daggers were as long as their own small arms; As the body of the demon poison spider shook slightly, the other seven landed long feet were struggling to root into the depths of the earth and rock, and at the same time, they were also slowing down the rate of collapse of the body.
And the main trunk of his body did not appear as much of a bigger hole as Tian Jihong expected at the beginning, but the opponent took advantage of the situation to stretch out the two long fangs from between his brains, and fiercely approached Tian Jihong, who was still entangled in the cobwebs at the lower end, and under such a step-by-step attack, it was also difficult for Tian Jihong to get up and launch any kind of counterattack against it, so he had to protect himself and stabilize the situation first.
Fortunately, at present, the spiritual power and toxins of the demon spider are all gathered in the position of the abdominal spinning device, so the poisonous fangs attacking between the heads are not too powerful, and they cannot play a substantial threat except for forcing Tianjihong's body back. It's just that Tian Jihong of course knows that this short-term stalemate does not mean that the situation is changing in the direction of his favor, and he is still bound by the short sword in his hand and trapped in an awkward position, once the other party regains his strength to launch the next round of offensive, it will be difficult for him to find a way to deal with it.
However, just as he turned sideways to avoid the oncoming fangs, he suddenly noticed that the fangs that were suddenly stabbing at his face were a little lacking, and it looked like they were deliberately restrained at the last moment, and more importantly, their path perfectly avoided a large bundle of pitch-black spider silk in front of both sides, and they didn't dare to approach the short sword that was firmly wrapped in it.
Tian Jihong immediately realized that this must be the demon spider's deliberate reluctance to let his two fangs touch the spider silk that was already twisted into a rope, which mostly meant that with the sharpness of his fangs, it was able to break through the jet-black spider silk stained with viscous body fluids. If he can find an opportunity to skillfully use the opponent's offensive to break through the shackles of this short sword, it may be a turning point in the battle.
The only trouble is that the other party is obviously avoiding this kind of thing now. Judging from the area where the two fangs were so cautiously avoiding the cobwebs just now, the other party would rather leave himself enough time to get out than be so easily used by himself to resolve the current predicament. Therefore, if you want to achieve your goals, you will inevitably have to take some risks.
Subconsciously, Tian Jihong's afterglow glanced at the location where Wang Qing disappeared on the side; It's just that as expected, the latter disappeared in the dense forest early, and now let alone want to know the progress of the implementation of his plan, it is impossible to even find the exact location of the other party, if it weren't for Tian Jihong's belief that it would be impossible to break the seal of the outer enchantment with Wang Qing's strength alone, he would almost mistakenly think that the other party abandoned him and fled.
Tian Jihong also understood that it was obviously unrealistic to count on help from the outside world at the moment, and finally after a moment of hesitation, he decided to take the risk with his life. He planned to use his body as bait to risk himself within reach of his opponent's fangs, and then gradually lure his opponent to let down his guard, eventually allowing his attack to land in the area he had planned.
It's just that the risk of doing so is also very large, and after having a close contact with the opponent just now, Tian Jihong already knows very well the horror of the demon poison spider's body. At this time, even if he launched a surprise attack when the opponent could not regain his spiritual power, just the opponent's two long teeth made of pure gold could easily penetrate all his defenses, and once he made any mistakes on the way to dodge, the end would be irreparable.
But it is obviously not a way to continue to delay, and when the other party discovers his purpose, or re-mobilizes his spiritual power to attack, then the possibility of realizing this plan is very small. So after taking a deep breath, Tian Jihong resolutely rushed towards the direction where the two fangs had retracted; On the premise of only keeping one hand in contact with the hilt of the sword, he didn't have time to run the technique again, and directly swung a fierce fist towards the fierce face of his opponent.
The Demon Poison Spider without its own intelligence could not show any emotional fluctuations, and the even weird humanoid faces still showed the existing distorted form, except for the eight huge demon eyes that kept turning, as if they were analyzing Tian Jihong's actions. Sensing that the opponent had no intention of dodging and was attacking straight towards his own close quarters, the demon poison spider was instinctively driven to suspend the operation of spiritual power in the abdomen.
This time, having learned its lesson, it decisively left an obvious gap between the spider's legs, no longer giving Tianjihong a chance to shake its body, and then the two fangs that poked out like tentacles stabbed at Tianjihong's head from top to bottom in a devastating posture. The latter also understood that it was very irrational for him to charge in an open area so upright without soul sense, just like now once he is locked by the opponent's soul sense, it is quite difficult to escape.
Fortunately, he didn't mean to fight hard with the opponent at this time, and his original intention was to lure the opponent to take the bait and launch a series of attacks on him. Now that the goal has been achieved, Tian Jihong, who had been prepared, gritted his teeth, deliberately exposed a flaw at the moment when the fangs were about to touch his head, and replaced the position of his shoulder, exposing the tip of the long fang.
After hearing only the sound of "poof", Tian Jihong only felt a sharp pain coming from his left shoulder, although he had been prepared for it, he had just exposed a small part of the skin and flesh to the opponent's attack range. However, the terrifying impact was still far beyond Tianjihong's original estimate, and under the protection of the chain mail, the terrifying force from the tip still instantly penetrated the blessing of the former and landed in the area next to the collarbone at the front end of his shoulder.
The huge force directly broke several ribs in Tianjihong's body, although with the ability of the monk, such a physical level of destruction can rely on spiritual power to stabilize the injuries in the body and not continue to spread, but the severe pain still makes Tianjihong sweat coldly. He was also clearly aware that the part of the body that was in contact with the fangs had been completely opened, and hot blood was flowing down from his left shoulder. Fortunately, the tip of the fangs with the silver armor did not completely penetrate his body, and the venom left on it failed to penetrate into the depths of his body.
But the situation was still much worse than originally expected, not to mention the injuries that appeared around him, even if the harmful corrosive substances between the venom failed to soak into the blood, Tian Jihong still clearly felt a soreness in his left shoulder, and it seemed that there was an inexplicable Dao power that could penetrate the spiritual barrier and quickly erode his body.
Tian Jihong didn't know at this time that the venom spit out from the fangs of the demon spider was originally to paralyze the enemy who was imprisoned by the spider's web, and then make the other party stop struggling to become his own meal, and the substance existing in the venom was directly acting on the human nerves, which was enough to knock down a creature far beyond his own cultivation in a short time. What's even more terrifying is that at the moment, this rather unusual demonic spider is a mutant species of its kind, and the purple-black ripples circulating around its body are the characteristics of its cultivation of the thunder Dao method, and the venom it spews out naturally has the effect of penetrating spiritual power unique to the thunder attribute.
Therefore, in just two seconds, Tian Jihong clearly felt that his entire left arm and chest cavity were completely covered by this inexplicable force and tended to be paralyzed. Although in the first place, he applied the only remaining plaster given to him by Li Ming in the package to the wound, and the flowing blood was quickly stopped and formed into blood scabs, but it was obvious that this healing elixir could not remove the paralyzing effect caused by the venom. Tian Jihong didn't even put the bottle of ointment back into the package in time with his left hand, he was already affected by the inexplicable Dao power that invaded his body, and a feeling of weakness came from the palm of his hand, and the porcelain bottle that he was originally holding unsteadily fell to the sharp stone under his feet and smashed it.
But now Tian Jihong has no time to feel sorry for the holy medicine that saved him from fire and water several times, and when the small half of his body has lost the ability to fight, and one hand has to hold the hilt of the sword and cannot let go, he has completely lost the ability to attack. At present, if your plan cannot go smoothly, I am afraid that there is really no possibility of any reversal in the future.
Thankfully, my injury did have the effect of booking. Under the effect of a strong smell of blood, the demon spider in front of him obviously realized that his attack had worked, so he didn't give his opponent any respite. After the fangs that landed smashed a stubborn rock under his feet, he once again rose high into the air to launch the next round of attacks.
As the opponent's attacks followed, Tian Jihong, who had no more means of defense, had to retreat and return to the area where the spider silk was entangled. During this period, the sharp weapon constantly wielded above his head also continued to slash his scalp like a scythe of death, but he was favored by luck, and after all, he still had a thrilling way to lead the opponent's round of attacks to the established position.
