Chapter 127: The Weakness of the Demon Spider
Tian Ji Hong also quickly discovered that the other party must have realized the improvement of his strength at this time, and the killing blow he had just performed failed to accurately hit his body, and the demon poison spider knew that it was impossible to defeat the enemy in a short period of time, so its change tactics began to gradually compress Tian Ji Hong's living space. This is also similar to the two times just relying on the cobwebs to imprison the opponent, all of which are trying to force Tianjihong into a dead corner and finally fall into a situation where there is nowhere to escape, and then use the killer.
Now that Tianjihong, who is forced to suppress the constant movement between the craggy rocks, it is indeed in a passive situation again in a short period of time. However, this time with the support of strong spiritual power and the weapon in hand, at least it can make corresponding effective resistance, although the four staggered and flashing spider legs are more rapid in attack, but after all, they are not as unstoppable as the sharp teeth stained with venom, Tian Jihong can still rely on the short blade in his hand to remove nearly half of the impact on it.
And as Tianjihong's mentality gradually recovered from the initial change, under this fierce offensive, its proper response made him gradually stabilize his position. Although the other party's intention to force himself into the corner step by step was indeed about to be achieved, he also took the opportunity to consolidate his body at this time, and recovered from the dangerous situation of falling to the ground and the center of gravity was unstable at the beginning.
What's more, such a close and fierce encounter has become an excellent way for a guy like Tian Jihong, whose meridians are overwhelmed by the surging spiritual power frenzy. He should have slowed down his momentum in round after round of collisions, but the more he fought, the more energetic he felt, and the meridians that had been blocked by the spiritual power that had almost condensed into solid were gradually stretched out after a fierce fight. Compared to the moment when he had just swallowed the Dragon Bone Pill, now the operation of the exercises in Tianjihong's body was much smoother, and he could clearly perceive that the medicinal power precipitated in his body was further dissolving, and his own cultivation was also in the process of further improvement.
In the process of eliminating the other, in the gap between the opponent's offensive and the slight fatigue, Tian Jihong, who was already about to be forced into a dead end, suddenly grabbed a flaw in the opponent. After waving his arm to block a spider leg whistling past his cheek, Tian Jihong jumped down with all his strength, and actually broke through the encirclement that the opponent had maintained for a long time without danger, and jumped to the same level as the head of the demon spider.
Then Tian Jihong ignored the two attacks that staggered behind him, and directly stepped lightly on a treetop above his head, and used his strength to drive towards the silk thread where the body of the demonic spider was hanging farther above. According to his judgment, the spider silk that the other party hastily wrapped around the canopy to support his body was obviously very different from the black snare sprayed when he had been charging for a long time, and he couldn't see the viscous black liquid as before, but at the same time, it was the key to stabilizing the balance and stability of his body.
With the sharp blade in his hand, it must be enough to cut this inconspicuous hanging silk thread, and the other party is obviously difficult to maintain the balance of his body when the suspension point is broken and only relies on the support of the spider legs of the other four pestles behind him, so he has to slow down the current offensive, and the predicament he is in will be self-defeating.
Therefore, when Tianjihong fought hard to get two heavy blows from the opponent in the back, he also insisted on cutting off the silk thread hanging between the treetops. At the same time, there was a faint sharp pain like an iron rod hitting the lumbar spine from behind, which made Tian Jihong couldn't help but ooze a cold sweat. Although the two pitch-black spider legs that were like spears were not inserted vertically into his body, the terrifying impact that pierced through the air under the full force of his opponent's urging alone wiped only half of the backbone of Tianji Hong, and at the same time, several of the latter's ribs were immediately broken.
Thankfully, the spider's legs did not carry the unknowing power that the chain mail could not resist as before, and Tian Jihong's body was not paralyzed by the toxin as it had just been. It is just the pain of the flesh and skin and the mild internal injuries, and with the powerful spiritual power in Tianjihong's body to protect the meridians around his body, it is enough to maintain his movement without the influence of injury and pain.
And with the help of the two huge forces behind him, Tianjihong's speed of approaching the target position was also better, and he galloped towards the silk thread at the top like a cannonball. Completely exposing one's movements in mid-air like this should have been taboo in battle, but at this time, Tian Jihong, who was always keeping an eye on the opponent's sneak attack, was surprised to find that as his height gradually climbed, as a demon spider with more strength than himself, he actually exposed his fatal weakness for the first time - there was no means to the air.
At this time, Tian Jihong also reacted, the fundamental reason why the opponent suppressed himself under his body for a long time and launched an attack was that the opponent did not have a method that could threaten the enemy who stood higher than himself. While it can immobilize its body by spitting out spider silk to reverse its direction and attack upwards, these are clumsy and porous countermeasures, and it still has no means to defend itself against mid-air attacks, let alone attack on its own.
This is also why the natural enemies of the demon poison spider in the martial arts world are many birds and beasts that are good at flying at high altitudes, and in the face of the latter's attack from mid-air, even if they are as ferocious as the demon spider, they have to choose to flee. Clever as Tianjihong, he immediately realized that his opponent's life, or weakness, was mostly in the blind spot of the attack above his skull. As long as you concentrate your strength on the opponent's weak point after that, even if the opponent has all-round vision and perception, it can't help itself at all without air means.
Therefore, at the moment when he swung his sword to cut off the spider silk, a new plan was born in Tian Jihong's mind. It is not easy to keep your body in shape to suppress the height of your opponent at all times, and with the help of spider silk and strong body, the demon spider can move faster than you can in the treetops. Under the premise that Tianjihong's cultivation is not enough to take off, as long as the opponent maintains an altitude beyond himself and keeps climbing to the top of the treetops, then the plan he designated will not have the slightest effect.
But fortunately, Tian Jihong's purpose was not to defeat this monster, but only to drag the opponent's footsteps. At this time, as the huge body of the demonic spider tilted towards the surface, the spider's legs that were constantly swinging towards the Heavenly Pole Hung had to temporarily stop, and they pushed hard between the stone crevices in the ground, supporting their huge body without falling.
And Tian Jihong, who was supposed to find a suitable foothold to continue to deal with his opponent, temporarily changed his plan and moved towards the blind spot behind the demon spider's head, and at the same time, he also subconsciously adjusted his position towards a higher altitude, and roughly predicted the opponent's route in his mind.
In the eyes of the Demon Poison Spider, this kind of action is like the scene of the opponent trying to escape from the battlefield and escape into the distance, how can the former have such a character of not capturing the prey and not giving up, how can Tian Jihong escape so easily? As if it was contrary to Tian Jihong's prediction, the Demon Poison Spider showed a terrifying speed even faster than his own in an instant, and followed closely behind the route he was traveling. At the same time, the spider silk that spat out from all sides also blocked the area where he landed in other directions; In this way, it is impossible to delay time by relying solely on speed to pull the other party.
However, Tianjihong had no intention of escaping downward, even if he really managed to reach the surface, his speed was still not comparable to the demon poison spider in front of him. At this time, although his body shape in the treetops was more hindered, he still believed in his guess about the weakness of the demon spider in the high position; Now, after finding such an excellent opportunity to test his reasoning, Tianjihong is also fully prepared and vows to fight with the oncoming opponent.
After waving his head slightly to dodge an oncoming pitch-black spider silk, Tian Jihong also stopped and stood quietly among a branch waiting for the arrival of his opponent. At this point, there is no point in continuing to escape, the opponent is enough to attack towards the higher point where he is on the way to climb sideways, even if he pulls up for half a second to no avail; At this moment, it is better to wait for the demon poison spider to attack by itself, and then try to find the flaws of the opponent.
When the demon poison spider was forced to a distance of less than ten meters in front of him, Tian Jihong finally took action, and first raised his sword to forcibly split the spider silk that was used for fixation on his side just now. The timing was also just right, and the demonic spider that glided upwards like a ropeway relying on spider silk was in the gap between the two branches, and there was no other landing point in mid-air for a while. Therefore, at the moment when the spider silk broke, it had to slow down the momentum of the impact.
However, the other party was obviously not so easy to deal with, and the moment it sensed that the silk thread was cut off, the demon poison spider hurriedly continued to spit out two other rays of spider silk from its abdomen to the left and right ends to fix its body. Before Tian Jihong could make the next move, the demon poison spider was firmly fixed in mid-air with the support of spider silk, and began to turn around and accumulate strength to complete the best sprint towards the opponent's position. Its goal is clear, vowing to suppress the opponent's position, reach a higher position, and then use its advantage to launch a fierce attack downward.
And after already knowing the other party's habits, Tian Jihong also sensed the other party's possible trajectory in advance, so at this time he also showed another hole card again. I saw that he suddenly took out the two plum blossom darts he had picked up from the corpses in the basin from his waist, held one in each of his left and right hands, and threw them with all his strength towards the fixed position of the silk thread at both ends.
