Chapter 34 Target: Netherworld Spider
Since things had come to this point, Dugu Bo stopped wasting words.
He let out a long sigh of relief and decided to go crazy with this kid this once.
The next second, he moved with lightning speed and appeared beside Dugu Yan like a ghost, carefully picking up his beloved granddaughter in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, another large hand reached out without hesitation, grabbed Lin Yu by the back of his collar, and lifted him up.
"Let's go!"
With a cold snort, Dugu Bo exerted force with his feet, soaring into the sky and transforming into a green streak of light, speeding towards the depths of Sunset Forest.
Nestled comfortably in Lin Yu's arms, Dugu Yan even had the leisure to cast a helpless glance at him.
Lin Yu, who was being held by the back of his collar, swayed in the wind in mid-air, looking just like a chick caught by an eagle, looking as pathetic as could be.
I rely on!
This discrimination is too obvious!
Lin Yu was speechless and could only mentally curse this old monster who was obsessed with protecting his granddaughter.
Dugu Bo seemed to sense his resentment, let out another cold snort, and moved even faster.
The biting wind lashed at his face, and Lin Yu could only shut his mouth in frustration, sulking to himself.
Soon, the three of them passed through layers of dense forest and arrived at the front of a dark and damp canyon.
This place is perpetually shrouded in darkness, filled with the stench of decaying vegetation. The surrounding stone walls are covered in dark green moss, giving it an eerie and sinister appearance.
Dugu Bo put the two down and pointed to a bottomless cave ahead.
"The Nether Spider prefers shade, so it's easiest to find them in places like this. You wait here, I'll go in and find it."
As he spoke, his soul power surged, and he prepared to set off.
"etc."
Lin Yu shook his head and reached out to stop him.
Dugu Bo turned around, puzzled: "You brat, what are you up to now?"
Lin Yu didn't explain, but under the astonished gazes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he slowly raised his right hand.
A silver-gray light flashed, and the second spirit ring lit up.
A massive, ancient, and weathered stone gate appeared out of thin air in front of the three of them.
Above the door, the grotesque reliefs of ghosts and gods were terrifying, and an aura of desolation and death from the ancient wilderness instantly enveloped the entire canyon.
A heavy stone door creaked open and slowly opened a crack inward.
Emerging from within was a group of sinister figures dressed in ancient official robes, wielding soul-reaping ropes and tokens.
No more, no less, exactly sixteen.
Their faces were blurry, their figures were elusive, and they exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay. As soon as they appeared, they knelt down on one knee in unison before Lin Yu.
Greetings, Lord!
The uniform, emotionless voices echoed through the deathly silent canyon, sending chills down one's spine.
"Spread out and search for a Netherworld Spider that is about nine thousand years old. Report back immediately once you find one."
Lin Yu gave the order concisely.
"Yes, sir!"
The sixteen ghost messengers rose up in response, their figures flickering as they transformed into sixteen wisps of black smoke, silently merging into the surrounding dense forest and shadows, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The whole process was incredibly smooth and fast.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were completely dumbfounded.
The grandfather and grandson stood there, mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.
What... what's going on here?
A martial soul can summon subordinates? And sixteen at once?
Dugu Bo rubbed his eyes hard and then pinched his thigh hard. The intense pain told him that what he was seeing was not an illusion.
He turned his head sharply, and the shock on his old face was beyond words.
"Kid—what are these—?"
Seeing his horrified expression, Lin Yu slowly began to explain.
"My second soul skill, Netherworld Ghost Messenger. It doesn't have much offensive power; it's mainly used for gathering intelligence and searching for targets, which is much faster than searching by yourself."
After hearing this explanation, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were even more stunned.
Can you do this?
Dugu Yan's pair of emerald eyes were now filled with sparkling little stars.
So handsome!
Brother Lin Yu's martial spirit is amazing! Not only can it teleport, but it can also summon so many subordinates to help!
After a brief moment of shock, Dugu Bo's mind was filled with a storm of emotions.
He thinks far more than his own granddaughter!
Not much attack power? You're kidding me!
These things appear and disappear mysteriously, exuding a chilling aura; they're clearly not good people! They can be used for espionage? But what about for assassination?
The thought that there might be such a thing silently standing next to his bed when he sleeps at night sent a chill down Dugu Bo's spine.
Doesn't that mean that if this kid wanted to, he could go anywhere on the entire continent except for a few places like the Papal Palace? Whose secrets doesn't he know?
If the Spirit Hall were to use these guys specifically to monitor Title Douluos who weren't affiliated with the Spirit Hall, or even—to assassinate the talented younger generation of opposing forces—
Dugu Bo subconsciously glanced at his granddaughter beside him.
He patted his chest abruptly, looking terrified.
Thank goodness, I'm on this guy's side now.
Fortunately, Yan Yan received his help.
If this were the enemy—the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just as Dugu Bo was lost in thought and frightening himself, there was a sudden movement from Lin Yu's side.
His closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Found it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand again, and the enormous Gate of Hell reappeared before him once more.
"Let's go, I'll take you there directly."
He turned to the side and gestured "please" to the stunned grandfather and grandson.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing deep curiosity and shock in each other's eyes.
Without hesitation, filled with excitement at the prospect of exploring the unknown, they stepped towards the eerie stone door that exuded a chilling aura.
A cold wind swept across our faces, and a gray fog spread.
Dugu Bo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a withered, dense forest.
The surrounding trees were charred and twisted, as if a great fire had burned away all life. The soil underfoot was cracked and emitted a faint, sweet, fishy smell.
This is the deepest part of the Sunset Forest, a desolate place where even sunlight can hardly penetrate.
"It's just ahead."
Lin Yu said in a low voice, his gaze falling on a jagged pile of rocks a hundred meters away.
In the center of the pile of stones, a deep cave entrance several meters in diameter can be vaguely seen. The edges of the cave entrance are covered with pale, spiderweb-like patterns that glow slightly in the dim light.
Dugu Bo condensed his soul power, and the aura of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King appeared faintly.
"The lair of the Nine Thousand Year Netherworld Spider—boy, it's not too late for you to regret it now."
Lin Yu did not answer, but simply took a step forward.
With his right hand loosely clenched, a long sword formed from condensed gray mist slowly took shape.
The blade is long and narrow, with a cold, eerie gleam at the edge.
This is a move he created over the past two years based on the Yellow Springs Immortal Scripture: Soul Slash.
It targets the soul, ignoring the body's defenses.
It's perfect for dealing with spirit beasts like the Nether Spider, which excel at mental attacks and deadly poison.
"I'll lure it out later. Old monster, you keep watch and make sure it doesn't get away."
Lin Yu gave a word of advice.
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes.
To hold the line?
You talk as if I'm your subordinate.
However, he nodded nonetheless and quietly disappeared into the shadows.
Dugu Yan was placed behind a boulder, with only her eyes showing as she nervously and expectantly watched Lin Yu's back.
Everything is ready.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and channeled his soul power into his feet.
Nine Steps to the Underworld—Saving Souls.
The figure appeared like a ghost, its feet not touching the ground, and silently arrived at the cave entrance.
He raised his palm, gray mist surging within, and slammed it hard against the pale spiderweb-like patterns at the edge of the cave entrance.
boom!
The chilling palm strike instantly shattered the spiderweb.
A violent and chilling aura suddenly surged up from the depths of the cave.
A sharp, almost ear-piercing hiss exploded out.
Immediately afterwards, eight spider legs covered with eerie purplish-black patterns and resembling steel spears suddenly emerged from the hole!
