"I haven't seen a person in this room in a long time, man, you came at the right time. Come here and let me eat your meat today..."
Zhou Yuan was surprised when he heard the spider demon could speak, he had heard of the incident from his teacher that a long-lived demon will have its own intelligence one of which is the ability to speak but witness it directly feels different
"The demon was about to reach the demon king or queen, if she was allowed to live longer it would probably accomplish that. Swordsman Yuan, we must not let him escape."
The spider laughed at Jian Chen's words, "Human, do you want to kill me? If there were no formations in this room that sealed some of my power I might have gotten out of here and preyed on your people."
Zhou Yuan's expression became bad, he had not expected to find any monstrous monsters in this tomb.
"Element Sword Technique — Wind Tone Sword Technique!"
Zhou Yuan swung his sword which then created a sharp wind blade, the attack aimed at the spider, with its large size it would not be able to dodge.
Zhou Yuan thought that the wind blade was enough to make one of the spider legs cut off but it turned out that his guess was wrong, Zhou Yuan's wind blade had only created a small scratch on his skin.
"You want to hurt me with a child attack like this, the human race is so funny!" The spider laughed loudly.
Zhou Yuan snorted then swung his sword back to recreate the wind blade again.
The spider laughed mockingly and made no attempt to dodge until finally the laughter disappeared because Zhou Yuan's wind blade this time could injure him even deeper.
"Do you think this is all funny!" Zhou Yuan who was smiling this time sneered.
The spider sizzled furiously. "Man, don't expect to die after I catch you!"
The spider then released its web which shot rapidly towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan dodged the net by floating in the air, he could feel that if he was hit by the net he might not be able to escape again.
One thing that made Zhou Yuan feel benefited by the situation, the room that the spider occupied had such a vast size that Zhou Yuan could fly around it.
Jian Chen did not stand still, he moved quickly and suddenly was already on top of the spider. Jian Chen unsheathed his sword intending to pierce the spider's body but the spider's skin was in fact too hard to break through the asura sword.
Jian Chen frowned, before he slammed his sword back The spider had already coated his skin with the lightning element. Jian Chen could not do much and directly shunned the spider before the electricity hit him.
"Humans, your strength is indeed high but not enough to kill me!" The spider hissed irritatedly, he turned out to be able to make a change of type as well.
"The skin is hard but I've found the jewel of the demon, we have to paralyze its movement before we can take the jewel." Jian Chen floated beside Zhou Yuan, an action that made the young man hold his breath.
Demon gems were a weakness for any demon, if the gems were destroyed or taken away then they would soon die.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he slightly trembled in awe as Jian Chen had already found the stealth gems in such a short time.
"Elemental Fog — Breath Blowing Fog!"
Zhou Yuan spouted the steam in his mouth with a large amount, it continued to grow significantly until it filled the room before finally turning into a thick fog.
Zhou Yuan limited the visibility of the spider even though the same was true for him, Zhou Yuan could benefit from the size of the spider being quite large in size.
A SPLASH!
Zhou Yuan's slash did not manage to cut off the spider's leg but it was enough to leave him with a deep wound, moreover Zhou Yuan continued to swing his sword to the same spot over and over again.
It didn't take long until one of the spider's legs was finally cut off.
"Arghhh! You, I won't let you live!"
The spider demon grew even more furious and released the web in all directions as it could not see Zhou Yuan moving amidst the thick fog.
Jian Chen who had just understood Zhou Yuan's plan joined the move to injure the other Spiders.
Both of them moved quickly and continued to injure the spider's legs one by one, their sharp heirloom qualities quickly wounding him to a serious degree.
Realizing the goal of his opponent the spider could only hiss furiously, as his large size as well as Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen moving at high speed made him unable to put up any meaningful resistance.
It didn't take long for the 8-foot spider to have two more left.
The spider demon could not maintain its balance with the remaining legs so it fell down, at the same time Jian Chen jumped on its head and stuck his sword.
In contrast to before, Jian Chen was pouring a huge amount of profound energy on the asura sword. The sword pierced through his head, making the spider wriggle vigorously before then exhaling its last breath.
Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after the demon was killed while Jian Chen took the jewel behind the spider's body, the size of the jewel was huge due to the spider's long age.
Jian Chen then threw his stealth gems at Zhou Yuan.
"It... Swordsman Jian, didn't you kill him?"
"We're the one who killed him," Jian Chen corrected with a smile. "As I said, I'm going to this tomb to take only one thing: a sword."
Zhou Yuan was speechless, he saw that the jewel, which was extremely large in size, would take a long time to absorb entirely.
'If I manage to absorb this stealth gem entirely maybe my inner power increases to six thousand inner power circles...'
During his two-week trip to the Moon Empire, Zhou Yuan often used stealth gems to replenish his inner power, impacting his ever-increasing internal power capacity.
If he absorbed the spider demon gem completely then there was a possibility that the energy within Zhou Yuan increased to six thousand inner power circles.
Zhou Yuan thanked Jian Chen before storing the stealth gem on his s.p.a.ce ring.
The walls of the room reopened when they had managed to kill the stealth spider, but what was different this time was not a visible passageway of the tomb but rather a door to another room.
Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen glanced at each other for a moment before entering the room, in contrast to before, the next room was no ordinary creature or demon blocking but a mountain of treasures.
"It looks like we've reached the end of the tomb, the spider is probably the last guard in this tomb..." Jian Chen muttered softly.
Zhou Yuan did not reply to Jian Chen's words because his attention was fixed on the surrounding mountains of gold coins, he felt that in his second life his life was too luxurious to involve many treasures, contrasted with his first life who was a beggar.
On top of the mountain of gold coins was a luxurious throne occupied by someone who had turned into bones.
The skull sat on the throne hugging something that was a golden sword.
