Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"Senior Brother Shi!" Su Xiao called out in a low voice, and he had already swept to the door like a wisp of smoke.

"I heard you!" Shi Tie's burly figure burst through the door, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever, but rather burning with fierce fighting spirit. "Damn it, they've finally arrived! Which direction are they from?"

"West City Goods Storehouse! The sect leader has sent a message: that beast has completely lost control and is extremely dangerous! Its weak points are its abdomen and mouthparts; it's afraid of sound waves!"

Su Xiao spoke rapidly, her face grave, and ordered, "Wang Hu! Come down! Xiao Lan, Tie Zhu, guard the inn. Activate the simple defensive formation. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to go out!"

On the rooftop, Wang Hu landed like a giant bird, his face pale, but his eyes resolute. Sun Xiaolan and Li Tiezhu also rushed out of their respective rooms, clutching talismans and weapons tightly in their hands.

"Senior Sister Su, we'll go with you!" Wang Hu said urgently.

"No way!" Su Xiao refused decisively. "A berserk monster approaching the second tier is beyond your capabilities! Staying at the inn to provide backup for us is far more important!"

She looked at Shi Tie, "Senior Brother Shi, let's go! The sect leader has pointed out that beast's weakness; let's find an opportunity to attack its vitals!"

"Understood!" Shi Tie licked his lips, a mixture of excitement and caution flashing in his eyes. "Watch how I smash its turtle shell!"

"Wang Hu, go to the City Lord's Mansion and the Zhao family immediately to report! Tell them that a demonic beast has appeared and is wreaking havoc at the west warehouse of the city. Tell them to send experts to support them immediately! Remember to specify that it is an out-of-control mutated wolf spider, which is extremely dangerous!" Su Xiao quickly ordered.

"Yes!" Without hesitation, Wang Hu turned and shot into the darkness like an arrow, rushing towards the city center.

"Let's go!" Su Xiao and Shi Tie exchanged a glance, and the two moved like ghosts, silently scaling the low wall behind the inn and speeding along the shadows of the eaves towards the direction where the screams were most concentrated in the west of the city.

Along the way, the heart-wrenching cries, calls for help, and the sounds of collapsing buildings grew clearer and clearer, and the air was filled with a heavy stench of blood and a nauseating, fishy smell.

Looking into the distance, faint flames and billowing black smoke could be seen in the western part of the city, creating a scene of utter chaos.

The closer one gets to the warehouse area, the more horrific the scene becomes. Broken cargo crates are scattered on the streets, deep claw marks cover the walls, and several mutilated corpses lie in pools of blood, their deaths extremely gruesome.

Some daring rogue cultivators and guards from the warehouse were using the ruins to attack from a distance with bows and arrows and talismans, but their attacks were like tickling the huge black shadow, only making the monster more frantic!

Su Xiao and Shi Tie hid in the shadows of a half-collapsed attic and finally saw the monster's full appearance!

It was a gigantic, suffocating spider-like monster! Its entire body was covered in obsidian-like carapace that shimmered with an eerie light, its eight compound eyes flashed with a scarlet, violent light, and its ferocious mandibles dripped highly corrosive venom as they opened and closed.

What's most terrifying is its size, almost the size of a small house! At this moment, it is wielding its long legs, which are like giant scythes, frantically destroying the warehouse in front of it, easily tearing the thick brick walls to shreds like paper!

Each swing brought forth a fierce, foul wind, sending sand and stones flying!

It was a mutated cave wolf spider! Moreover, the demonic aura it emitted was violent, chaotic, and filled with a desire to destroy everything; it was clearly out of control!

"Hiss... What a huge thing!" Shi Tie gasped, but then his fighting spirit intensified. "Damn, this body is so tough, it'll be much more fun to beat him up! Junior Sister Su, what do we do? We can't just go for it!"

"Don't rush!" Su Xiao grabbed him, forcing herself to calm down, and carefully observed the wolf spider's behavior. "Look at its movements. Although it's ferocious, its steps are unsteady, its abdomen is heaving violently, and its mouthparts are constantly dripping venom. The sect leader is right! What is it looking for? Or rather... what is it attracted to?"

Just then, the tarantula suddenly stood upright, letting out a deafening roar. Its scarlet compound eyes were fixed on a large warehouse deep in the warehouse area, with a flag bearing the character "Zhao" hanging on it! It seemed to have an unusual obsession with that warehouse!

"It's the Zhao family's warehouse!" Su Xiao instantly realized. "The Li family's target is indeed the Zhao family! They want to use this out-of-control monster to severely damage the Zhao family's power!"

"Who cares who the target is! We need to find a way to kill this beast!" Shi Tie roared, his gaze fixed on the tarantula's relatively vulnerable abdomen. "We have to find a way to get close to its belly! Or force it to reveal a weakness!"

"A direct assault definitely won't work!" Su Xiao quickly thought. "We need to create chaos to attract its attention, then you can find an opportunity to get close! I'll use talismans to remotely attack its mouthparts and eyes, see if I can provoke it and make it expose its abdomen!"

"Alright!" Shi Tie nodded. "How do we create chaos?"

Su Xiao's gaze swept across the surroundings, noticing the scattered cargo crates and several barrels of what appeared to be kerosene. An idea struck him: "Use fire! Most demonic beasts fear fire! Set those crates and the kerosene on fire to create a large fire and thick smoke! This will both distract it and guide the reinforcements!"

"Great idea!" Shi Tie immediately understood.

The two worked together. Shi Tie, being strong, quickly kicked several barrels of oil around the tarantula, then smashed the cargo boxes with a heavy iron bar, scattering the flammable materials. Su Xiao, meanwhile, took out several low-level "Fireball Talismans," and, seizing the opportunity, flicked her jade-like hand!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several blazing fireballs were aimed precisely at the area where oil had been spilled and the pile of goods at the feet of the tarantula!

"boom--!"

Flames erupted instantly! Thick smoke billowed! The sudden fire and intense heat caused the tarantula to let out a startled and angry roar, its eight long legs frantically stomping as it tried to get away from the flames.

The scorching air and thick smoke did indeed interfere with its perception and actions!

"Now!" Shi Tie roared, his body's "Giant Spirit Shaking Mountain Technique" was running wildly, and his blood and qi surged into the sky like smoke! Under the cover of the thick smoke, he used the "Flowing Cloud Step" to its limit, his figure as ghostly as he approached the side of the wolf spider, his target being its relatively slender joints!

"You beast! Take this!"

The heavy iron rod slammed into the joint of one of the tarantula's supporting legs with a piercing whistling sound!

The tarantula was startled by the flames and caught off guard, taking a solid blow to its joint!

"clang--!"

A muffled thud! Sparks flew everywhere!

Shi Tie felt a huge recoil force coming from him, and his tiger's mouth went numb. But this time he was prepared. He used the force to twist his body and dissipate some of the force. At the same time, he clenched his fist with his other hand and threw a hidden punch containing the power of "Shaking Mountains" at high speed towards the gap in the connection of the wolf spider's carapace!

With a muffled "plop!", the tarantula's body trembled violently, letting out a painful hiss! Although its carapace was not broken, the shockwave that penetrated its body clearly made it extremely uncomfortable!

"It works!" Shi Tie was overjoyed.

However, the tarantula's ferocity was also fully unleashed! It suddenly twisted its massive body, and one of its scythe-like legs swept towards Shi Tie with a piercing whistling sound! It was even faster than before!

"Senior Brother Shi, be careful!" Su Xiao exclaimed in alarm, and at the same time, the "Golden Sword Talisman" he was holding shot out! A condensed golden light pierced straight at the wolf spider's compound eye that was swinging out!

Attack where they must defend!

As expected, the tarantula instinctively tilted its head to dodge the golden sword, its sweeping leg movement slightly paused.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Shi Tie did a clumsy roll, narrowly avoiding the long-range strike, but the sharp wind still stung his cheek.

"Junior Sister Su! Well done!" Shi Tie praised, not daring to linger, and circled around behind the tarantula again, looking for an opportunity to attack its abdomen.
