Chapter 39 Spider-Man
After Yan Shuzhou put on a gas mask and retreated to the tenth floor, Miao Yin activated her supernatural ability.
The fragile spider silk was no match for the flames; sparks traveled up the flammable threads and burned away, leaving the entire corridor completely scorched.
Miao Yin walked step by step to the twelfth floor and finally saw the culprit who caused the tragedy on the tenth floor.
It was a mutated human, half human and half spider.
It was seven feet tall, with the upper body of a long-haired, waist-length, toothy beauty and the lower body of a huge, round, black spider abdomen that bulged and throbbed. It also had three pairs of red eyes and eight sharp, black and white legs stuck in the wall. The entire deformed creature hung upside down from the ceiling, its mouth still hissing and spitting out silk.
As soon as Spider-Man saw her, he bared his blood-red teeth at her in a menacing manner.
Miao Yin said disdainfully, "What an ugly monster."
Spider-Man clearly still retains some human instincts, and he was successfully provoked upon hearing the words "ugly monster."
With a push from her eight long legs against the wall, her massive body slammed down from above, opening its dark mouth towards Miao Yin.
Miao Yin grabbed the handrail, dodged to the side, and jumped behind the Spider-Man, her sharp longsword aimed directly at its neck.
"Hmm!!!"
There was a piece of black, hard armor on the back of its neck! The Tang sword only left a scratch on it.
Miao Yin immediately changed tactics, plunging her knife into its softer abdomen and stirring its internal organs.
The mutated human let out a painful howl, and a large handful of spider silk gushed out of its mouthparts, sticking to the walls in all directions, carrying its body away.
But just as it was halfway detached, the black and red magma-like flames burned through the spider silk, and the air was filled with a pungent stench.
The deformed man fell down the stairs, leaving more than a dozen pockmarks on the ground with his long legs.
It attacked Miaoyin once more, its terrifying nails extending as if to tear her apart.
Miao Yin blocked the attack with her knife. The flames wrapped around the spider's abdomen, burning out its three pairs of red eyes. With a swing of her Tang sword, she severed the spider-man's hands.
The deformed man's arms trembled as he tumbled down the stairs in pain, crashing into the corner wall.
"Aaaaaah—" it howled like a banshee.
Its biological instincts made it realize that the other party was not to be trifled with, but its greedy animalistic desires made it want to tear the other party apart and swallow it whole.
Spider-Man lay prone on the ground for a while, then suddenly leaped onto the wall and climbed back to where it had started at an incredible speed.
There was also a white silk pouch there, which had been wrapped around Miao Yin before she arrived.
The mutant's sharp spider legs sliced open the sac like scythes, revealing a bloody corpse inside, half-melted.
It split the corpse in two, stuffing one half into its other mouthpart, and then using the other half to bite it with its human mouthpart.
As the mutant ate, its hands, which had been severed by Miao Yin, regrew back at an extremely fast speed.
Miao Yin's eyes lit up.
This mutant actually tried to evolve and transform itself by eating while severely injured, so the quality of the crystal core in its head must be very good.
Once it finishes evolving, she will definitely get more energy.
So she patiently waited for the other person to finish eating.
Spider-Man eats very fast, almost wolfing down his food, even gnawing on bones, leaving his mouth full of pink and white flesh.
At the same time, its body began to change; its abdomen became larger, with several red stripes and six pairs of red eyes.
The spider's eight legs were covered with stiff hairs, making them even more powerful. The veins bulged at the junction of the human and spider bodies, and its stomach throbbed and bulged, as if something was about to burst out.
After it finished eating, it stretched its body, making a crackling sound as its bones rubbed together.
Spider-Man turned to look at Mu Yin, a sneer spreading across his face, revealing the ferocity of a predator.
The battle is about to break out.
Spider-Man spewed out a sky full of sticky silk threads, trying to trap Miao Yin. The evolved spider silk contained not only anesthetic toxins, but also corrosive and neurotoxins. Once poisoned, one would be paralyzed and become food.
But no matter what, it still fell short under the influence of the fire.
Flames surged from Miao Yin's palms, melting the spider silk that she spewed out upon contact with the flames, and even the handrail beside her was scorched into molten iron.
She emerged from the wall of fire, the flames enveloping her blade, and with a single stroke severed the Spider-Man's newly repaired arm that had been blocking his way.
Realizing he had lost his hands again, Spider-Man leaped with his long legs, grabbing the wall and moving away from Mu Yin.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yin suddenly produced a crossbow. Just as it tried to escape, a hard arrow pierced its head, and black liquid splattered on the wall.
Spider-Man went berserk and tried to rush over and bite her to death, but this played right into Miao Yin's hands.
She used the wall for leverage and landed on the enormous spider's abdomen, her face filled with frenzied excitement. She grabbed Spider-Man by the neck, and flames erupted from her palms, giving Spider-Man a fiery red fountain.
The mutated man's mouth was wide open, his entire head exposed to the scorching flames that burned everything, revealing his stark white bones.
Its eight legs thrashed wildly on the ground, while its remaining severed limbs thrashed about, trying to push Miao Yin away.
Miao Yin wouldn't give her another chance. With a single stroke of her Tang sword, she severed the softened neck bone, separating the head from the body!
The remaining part of the mutated human's body collapsed. Miao Yin grabbed the head and jumped off the spider's abdomen, using a small knife to dig out the bright blue crystal core inside.
"The quality is good." Miao Yin put the crystal core into the Eighty-Eight Temples, then went downstairs and called Yan Shuzhou up.
"Sister, are you alright?" Yan Shuzhou looked her over worriedly, and only felt relieved after confirming that she had no injuries.
"How could that be?" Miao Yin tidied her slightly messy hair, and the two walked upstairs side by side.
When Yan Shuzhou saw the Spider-Man lying on the stairs with only his body remaining, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked around.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking for something, Miao Yin asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Shuzhou asked with a hint of doubt, "Is there only one mutant here?"
"What do you mean?" Miao Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, but she already had a vague answer in her heart.
"The Nine-Tails Rabbit told me that it heard you fighting with two mutants."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sound of skin tearing was heard, and a small spider, about the size of a palm and with a human face, tore through the skin of the corpse, sprang out from the stomach, and headed straight for Yan Shuzhou!
Miao Yin's expression hardened, and she stood in front of Yan Shuzhou, slashing her knife. The little spider was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
Just then, something unexpected happened. The stairwell door on the thirteenth floor suddenly opened, and a ragged woman limped out. She tripped over a lingering spider web, tumbled down the stairs, and bumped right into the little spider!
"Aaaaaah!!!" the woman screamed in terror.
The little spider, with its eight nimble legs, leaped onto the woman's face and quickly burrowed into her mouth.
The woman clutched her throat and collapsed to the ground, her face flushed red. She struggled, kicking her legs frantically, and died within minutes.
A bulge the size of a child's ball appeared on her stomach, and small spiders were wriggling inside, clearly parasitizing her flesh and blood.
