Chapter 48 Fire Spider

When Huo Wushuang was absorbing the soul bone, Huo Wu grabbed Xiao Fei and said, "What are the wings on your back? Why haven't I seen you tell me before?"

Xiao Fei quickly covered his ears and begged for mercy, "Sister Huo Wu, don't do this, it hurts."

Huo Wu said fiercely, "If you know it hurts, tell me the secret quickly, otherwise I won't tear your ears off."

Helplessly, Xiao Fei stretched out the wings of the flame bird on his back, only to see 12 wings as sharp as knives gradually extending from his back, and each wing was as sharp as a steel knife.

Xiao Fei said: "This is the external soul bone I obtained when I obtained the second soul ring, the flame bird wings? And the claws on my hands are the external soul bones of the Flame Lion King's palm that I obtained when I obtained the first soul ring."

"After years of tempering and upgrading, these two external soul bones are now 50,000 years old. I have never displayed this flame bird wing outside, nor have I ever used it. Today is the first time I show it in front of people."

Huo Wu asked: "You actually have two external soul bones, how many soul bones do you have on your body?" After saying that, Huo Wu looked around with the external soul bones, and even looked at Xiao Fei's body carefully, touching it from time to time.

Xiao Fei said quickly: "Sister Huo Wu, I only have a head soul bone and a right leg soul bone on my body now. Plus two external soul bones."

Huo Wu said fiercely: "Why haven't I heard that you have a right leg soul bone?"

Xiao Fei said solemnly: "This right leg soul bone cannot be shown to others. It is a hundred thousand year soul bone. If people know about it, it will attract the pursuit of Titled Douluo."

"One hundred thousand year soul bone? One of the treasures in the soul master world, then what soul bone skills does your right leg bone have?"

"There are two skills, one is flying, and the other is healing injuries." After speaking, he held Huo Wu's arm with his hand, and saw a ball of green light flashing on the soul bone. Huo Wu's injury recovered quickly, and after a while, it was completely healed.

Huo Wu smiled and said, "This soul bone has a great skill. I won't have to worry about getting hurt anymore."

Xiao Fei shook his head. "This soul bone's skill is a bit outrageous, and its origin is questionable, so I'll try to use it as little as possible. But it gives me incredibly high vitality. That's why I can always absorb soul rings above my level."

Huo Wu said, "No wonder you have such strong vitality."

Xiao Fei said seriously, "Sister Huo Wu, you must not tell anyone about this soul bone. Otherwise, many Titled Douluo will come to fight us. That would be troublesome."

Huo Wu, seeing Xiao Fei's serious expression, nodded seriously.

This soul bone has a special healing skill. If someone gets injured and Huo Wu can't bear it and asks Xiao Fei to treat them, it would be troublesome if the news gets out. So Xiao Fei emphasized this to Huo Wu.

A day later, Huo Wushuang finally absorbed the soul bone. He gained a very powerful soul bone skill: the ability to launch sonic attacks, with a certain mental impact, and a large-scale ability. It could be said that this skill was truly divine, but its age was still relatively low.

For the next two weeks, the three continued their journey into the Undying Volcano. During these three days, numerous soul beasts attacked and ambushed them, but they were able to dodge them. They also slew numerous soul beasts, including some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but none yielded soul bones.   

The three felt that the closer they got to the volcano's core, the higher the fire elemental energy in the air became, and their cultivation speed increased. However, they couldn't find any information resembling the map of the Divine Fire Sect. Could it be that the Divine Fire Sect had truly been lost to history?

One day, the three had set up their tent and were resting. Suddenly, Xiao Fei felt something strange around him, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. He carefully sensed the fluctuations of soul energy around him, but there wasn't even a trace of vitality. This was unusual. Could there be no soul beasts around? Unless...

Xiao Fei decisively took to the sky and carefully surveyed his surroundings. Within a radius of nearly a kilometer, there wasn't a single soul beast. This meant that there must be an extremely powerful soul beast nearby, deterring others from entering.

Suddenly, Xiao Fei felt a massive fluctuation of soul energy, originating from the three people's tent.

Xiao Fei decisively flew towards the tent. Suddenly, a massive spider web erupted from the ground below, completely enveloping the tent. The ground gave way, and a massive fire spider emerged from the ground.

The fire spider was ablaze, its eight legs like sharp blades. The tent was burned, and Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were engulfed in dark red silk.

They struggled relentlessly, even unleashing spirit abilities. However, the silk was only slightly damaged; even if it was cut, it was quickly replaced by the fire spider. Furthermore, the silk was clearly highly toxic, and the two were already showing signs of poisoning.

The situation was dire. Xiao Fei quickly flew towards the fire spider. He had no choice but to destroy it first and then call for help, otherwise he might be trapped.

Xiao Fei unleashed his bony claws and wing bones to attack the fire spider. The fire spider seemed to have a mind of its own, encircling Huo Wu and Huo Wu with silk while using its legs to parry Xiao Fei's attacks.

Its legs repeatedly collided with Xiao Fei's bony claws, yet surprisingly, they remained largely unscathed. This fire spider was likely close to 50,000 years old, and a predator among spirit beasts, it clearly possessed extensive hunting experience.

Xiao Fei seized the opportunity to unleash his sixth soul skill, launching a flaming slash at the fire spider. Its front legs were severed, but the spider surprisingly used the impact to bounce back. As expected of a top-tier predator soul beast, its ability to evade danger was exceptional.

The fire spider let out a strange cry and continued to fight Xiao Fei with its remaining legs, occasionally spitting silk for sneak attacks. It was clear that the fire spider's sole objective was to stall for time; the longer it waited, the more disadvantaged Xiao Fei would be.

Half an hour later, Wu Shuang and Huo Wu were entangled in the silk, practically unable to move. The fire spider was in much worse shape, with only two legs remaining.

Its agility was significantly reduced, and its melee ability was significantly diminished. Xiao Fei had already severed the remaining six legs.

In close combat, Xiao Fei seized the opportunity to unleash his fifth soul skill, Phoenix Heaven Shaking Strike.

Like a flaming phoenix, Xiao Fei struck the fire spider's head, shattering it into pieces. Xiao Fei sat on the ground, breathing heavily, clearly reaching the limit of his soul power. The fire spider finally collapsed to the ground.

Xiao Fei, enduring the lack of soul power and the aches throughout his body, hurried over to Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, severing the spider silk strands from their bodies with his steel claws. He finally rescued Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, but both were severely injured and unconscious.

Xiao Fei activated his Blue Silver Emperor soul bone ability to heal them.

Three hours later, Xiao Fei's soul power had fully recovered, and Huo Wushuang and Huo Wushuang slowly awoke. They looked at each other, then at Xiao Fei and the fire spider's corpse nearby, a wave of fear washed over them.

If it weren't for Xiao Fei's desperate efforts, they would have both been devoured by the fire spider.

A full day passed before Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang were fully recovered and able to move normally, thanks to Xiao Fei's extensive supply of detoxifying herbs.

Otherwise, their recovery would have taken even longer. For fire-attributed soul masters, the fire spider's fire poison seemed more difficult to eliminate than other toxins.

Then came the time for the others to search the corpse. After dissecting the fire spider's corpse, a unique soul bone was discovered on its back.

This soul bone was crystal clear, emitting a red glow, and occasionally exuding a hint of fire properties. It was like a spine, but on each side of the spine were four miniature fire spider legs.

The three people couldn't help but open their eyes wide at this. Huo Wu ignored the others' gazes and directly put the soul bone away. Seeing the two people's dull eyes, she said directly, "What, you have any objections?"

Xiao Fei and Huo Wushuang hurriedly shook their heads. How could they dare to object.
