Volume 1 Soul Academy Chapter 12 The Black-Haired Spider
Sunlight penetrates the thick foliage and shines through the forest.
Liu Rumeng finally woke up slowly, sleepy-eyed, and the dazzling light made the girl frown slightly.
Twisting her waist slightly, she found herself resting on a strong body.
Instantly blushing and her heart beating faster, this was the first time she had intimate contact with a boy of the same age, and she could clearly feel the warmth on Lei Luo's body.
The girl quickly moved away from her delicate body and stood up with her support for the trunk of the tree, but this action woke up Lei Luo.
The boy woke up slowly, and at first glance he looked at the girl in front of him, and the two looked at each other like this.
Lei Luo reacted quickly, and instantly saw through Liu Rumeng's thoughts, but he also seemed to feel that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.
"You...... Are you alright?" asked Lei Luo first, scratching his head, looking very shy.
Liu Rumeng lowered her head, her face was full of shame, her hands were lightly held behind her back, and she nodded lightly in response: "I'm fine." ”
Lei Luo no longer felt shy, but was happy and more curious.
It was the first time he had seen Liu Rumeng's shy appearance, her charming face was flushed, very cute, and the original girl's coquettish image in Lei Luo's heart instantly increased a little introverted.
Exhaling lightly, Lei Luo got up slowly, his expression was calm and energetic, he seemed to have rested well last night, and his eyes were attentively observing the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the forest is full of insects and birds, full of life, and the feeling of being targeted yesterday has completely disappeared.
Lei Luo patted the trunk of the tree behind him, and looked up, the tall branches and leaves of the trees obscured the sky, and beams of light could only fall through the gaps.
"Thunder and Lightning!"
Following the thick trunk of the tree, Lei Luo quickly climbed up, and after passing through the layers of thick branches and leaves, he finally saw the blue sky.
A few puffy clouds simply decorate the sky, and from the position of the sun, it is clear that it is the time of noon.
Then, Liu Rumeng also jumped briskly to the top of the tree and stood side by side with Lei Luo.
"Could it be that last night's feeling was emanating from that spirit beast? I feel like it should be far away. Liu Rumeng asked, and at the same time she pointed to the mountains not far away.
"I don't know, after all, I've never seen a spirit beast before. "Relo kept his eyes on the mountains.
Although he said that, deep down he still didn't agree with Liu Rumeng's thoughts.
The appearance of those black eyes had always been engraved in his mind, and Lei Luo could feel that the owner of these eyes did not have any emotions yesterday, and it was not even like the eyes of various types of beasts that he had learned about in books.
He always felt that his feelings were not wrong.
The mountain range was about a few kilometers away from where the two men were, and the trees near the base of the mountain were unusually tall, and the entire mountain range continued on and on, and it was impossible to estimate its extent.
If you stand high, you can see far away, and you can see the surrounding forest environment clearly from the top of the tree.
The forest behind the two of them was obviously much shorter, and they could even see the Soul Academy in the distance.
Lei Luo suddenly had a plan to return to the academy in his heart.
At this time, an obvious sound of branches and leaves rubbing instantly attracted the attention of Lei Luo and Liu Rumeng.
In the bushes not far from the tree, a black figure was slowly crawling out, with a body the size of half of Lei Luo's body, and eight thick hairy legs looked very scary.
Seeing this beast that suddenly appeared, Lei Luo's expression became a lot more serious, and said: "The black-haired spider is the strongest type of beast, all over Jiuzhou, bloodthirsty by nature, likes to eat human flesh, and has killed many people, so it must be seen and killed once!"
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng also nodded in agreement and said, "Even if we don't do it, it will take the initiative to attack us." ”
Sure enough, the black-haired spider had already spotted the two people on the top of the tree, and the eight big black eyes kept turning, and the screams between the sharp fangs were extremely terrifying.
Liu Rumeng first jumped down from the top of the tree, and the green soul power instantly covered her whole body.
"Yanagi Hosendo!"
The familiar rattan whip appeared in Liu Rumeng's hand, and Lei Luo had a very deep memory of this rattan whip that could suppress his soul power.
However, Liu Teng was ruthlessly evacuated in the bushes, and the movements of the black-haired spider were very agile, and after dodging the sweep with a low body, he pounced on the girl in mid-air.
Liu Rumeng had already prepared, and a rattan whip also appeared in his other hand, and he directly whipped the black-haired spider head-on.
But the black-haired spider's movements changed suddenly, and very quickly, and the black body in the air was instantly pulled back to the ground.
Lei Luo stared intently, frowning, ready to cut into battle at any moment.
The spider silk ejected from the tail of the black-haired spider was connected to the ground, pulling it down quickly, dodging Liu Rumeng's attack, and at the same time as landing, the eight hairy claws grabbed the ground fiercely, and bowed down again and shot out.
Lei Luo secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and instantly released his soul power and spirit, stepped on the electric current, and was ready to enter at any time.
This black-haired spider is a half-legged beast that has stepped into the ranks of intelligent beasts, and knows how to fight with all its weapons, unlike wild beasts that can simply go on a rampage.
Liu Rumeng obviously realized this, and quickly let go of the rattan whip in both hands, and then condensed one again, wrapping around the trunk of the tree on the side, avoiding the surprise attack of the black-haired spider.
Although this did increase Liu Rumeng's dodging speed, it also consumed some soul power at the same time.
The sharp eight hairy claws swept through the air at great speed, and then spread out, like a pair of huge wings, and slid steadily down towards the branches.
Lei Luo saw the moment of falling, and at the moment when the black-haired spider was about to land on the branch, the figure full of electricity came closer, and kicked the huge tail of the black-haired spider in the air, and a person and a spider instantly lost their balance in the air and fell vertically to the ground.
When Liu Ru dreamed of the situation, she condensed another rattan whip, and a few thin branches scattered at the tip of the willow vine wrapped around the black-haired spider.
With the surge of soul power, a green light also flashed on the vine whip, and it surrounded the body of the black-haired spider along the thin branches.
Lei Luo landed a moment before the black-haired spider, and after half-squatting to stabilize his body, he gathered his soul power and punched it.
However, the tail of the black-haired spider spewed out spider silk again, pulling it towards the trunk on the other side, and the huge impact force actually broke free from the willow vine for a while, tearing Liu Rumeng off the trunk.
Seeing this, Lei Luo, who failed to attack, changed his posture, jumped high, and firmly hugged Liu Rumeng, who lost his balance and fell down.
Frozen in place, the two of them stared vigilantly at the black-haired spider crawling on the trunk of the tree.
And the black-haired spider has eight legs covered with black hair slightly, and its big black eyes are constantly shaking, as if it is thinking.
Liu Rumeng gasped slightly, and said softly: "Mistake, I didn't expect this black-haired spider to have almost evolved into an intelligent beast, fortunately, there are two of us, and if we are one-on-one, we will definitely be eaten by it." ”
Lei Luo also replied in a deep voice: "This guy is not what we can fight against now, but we can't escape, so we can only act cautiously!"
At this time, the black-haired spider moved again, and it moved very quickly.
The huge tail arched and spewed out several cobwebs, instantly enveloping the two of them.
At the same time, the huge tail jet suddenly shrank again, and once again spewed out a spider silk, pulling it towards the ground close to the two of them.
Lei Luo's whole body was surging, and without hesitation, he hugged Liu Rumeng and retreated into the forest behind, finally opening up a few distances.
After running for a few minutes, the two stopped behind a thick tree trunk and watched warily behind them.
Lei Luo gasped and said softly: "My soul power can probably be used for ten minutes, we have to think of countermeasures, and it will catch up soon." ”
Liu Rumeng leaned her body against the trunk of the tree, her expression was a little nervous, and said, "I don't have much soul power, at most I can condense four more vine whips, and I can't suppress its actions at all." ”
The black figure was really fast, and in just a moment, it had already appeared in the field of vision of the two of them.
Dozens of meters away, it obviously spotted Lei Luo and Liu Rumeng, and its movements gradually slowed down and became much quieter.
Lei Luo's mind turned, and he said: "This guy's weakness is the part where the eight feet are connected to the body, I attack closely, you can attack when you see the opportunity, and solve the battle within ten minutes!"
Because the time was very tight, the two did not study the tactics in detail, and after saying their thoughts, Lei Luo used the spirit again and took the initiative to face the black-haired spider.
Liu Rumeng stared at the front seriously, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
However, after all, this black-haired spider was already close to the intelligent beast, and it seemed to think about the battle situation in its favor, so it directly dodged Lei Luo's attack, and the spider silk that spewed out pulled it towards Liu Rumeng's position.
Although Liu Rumeng is only a few points weaker than himself, if he is killed first, Lei Luo will fall into a one-on-one mortal situation.
Lei Luo knew that he had made a mistake at the moment, and turned to look at Liu Rumeng, the girl also looked panicked, not knowing what to do.
"How daring!"
At this moment, a strong male voice exploded, which seemed to shake the entire forest.
At the same time, a white figure cut into the air, and a white blade flashed in the air, instantly cutting the black-haired spider in half!
Lei Luo reacted first, and used his spirit to come to Liu Rumeng's side in the shortest possible time, and gently helped the frightened girl up.
"Are you all right?" The person who came was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, and he smiled heartily: "The combat power of this black-haired spider is already equivalent to that of a human at the forty-third level of soul power, you two are quite guts!"
Liu Rumeng's face turned pale, and he didn't speak for a long time, obviously frightened.
Lei Luo took a few deep breaths, stabilized his mind a little, and said, "Thank you for saving us." ”
"Look at the color of the soul power, you are Lei Luo and Liu Rumeng, the first time we met, my name is Ming Jingchuan. The man laughed, he had long white hair and looked very energetic.
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know us?"
"Of course, the entire Sanctuary knows about the existence of the Soul Academy. Ming Jingchuan put away the blade familiarly, and smiled easily: "You are all celebrities now!"
When Lei Luo first arrived in the Land of Light, he couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in his heart, and he was vigilant about the people and things around him at any time, but Ming Jingchuan in front of him saved himself, and Lei Luo had a good impression of this young man and had a little sense of trust.
"Didn't Sheng Hao say that there would be no more than beasts in this forest?" Lei Luo's tone seemed to have some reproach, but he said this to appease Liu Rumeng beside him.
Ming Jingchuan also knew this, but because of the worries of the two, he didn't take the initiative to speak, and now it happened that Lei Luo asked, so he took the opportunity to answer. At the same time, this teenager named Lei Luo thinks very comprehensively and impresses himself.
"This forest is called the Sacred Forest, and it surrounds the edge of the entire Sanctuary, and there are hundreds of forest rangers in the forest, and there are about 10,000 rangers, and once there is a transcendent beast, we will come forward to solve it. ”
Ming Jingchuan's tone revealed resoluteness and was very confident, and Lei Luo and Liu Rumeng's hearts suddenly felt a lot more settled.
Lei Luo suddenly had a hint of impulse, and almost blurted out the danger he encountered yesterday.
But he still held back, still vigilant in the depths of his heart.
"Although I have just arrived, I have been following your battle for a while, and your performance is quite good!" Ming Jingchuan praised, his eyes full of emotion, as if he was really surprised by the performance of the two.
Lei Luo is not proud of this, although there will always be people around him who feel his strength, but he feels that this situation is very normal, no matter how he says that he is also a prince.
"Although there are hundreds of forest guard towers, I haven't seen that the holy forest is so vast?" Lei Luo asked the doubts in his heart again, and at the same time looked at Ming Jingchuan curiously.
"You're lucky to have a new Sanctuary map this morning. Ming Jingchuan smiled mysteriously, and at the same time motioned for the two to follow him.
"There's a forest ranger tower just a few kilometers away, come with me. ”
