The numerous spider corpses in front of him were dissipating, and Mo Shuying realized the problem: he must have been affected by these spiders!
Someone had released these spiders and intentionally let him kill them. Once these spiders died, they would trigger some mechanism, trapping him in an illusion.
It was a difficult method to guard against, but unfortunately for them, they had encountered Mo Shuying. In fact, even without Mundo's passive ability, when the spider mark began to take effect, Mo Shuying's mental strength would likely have resisted it.
And now.
"Hiding in the shadows, today I'll show you the warmth of socialism!"
The Elemental Demonic Sword appeared in Mo Shuying's hand, and he leaped into the air. Mana surged into the sword, followed by thousands upon thousands of Aether Light rays scattering outwards!
*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!*
A full-scale carpet bombing ensued. The mountain of corpses and sea of blood below were shredded into countless pieces. What was already a hellish place now became even more terrifying.
And amidst this attack!
*BANG!*
A bloody figure suddenly shot out. It was a man with four spider legs growing from his back, his entire body rotted and incredibly hideous.
After appearing, this spider-legged man didn't attack Mo Shuying. Instead, he ran towards the edge of the space.
Something seemed to be hidden there.
"You tricked me and now you want to run! Dream on!"
Mo Shuying used Flash and appeared next to the monster. With a swing of the Elemental Demonic Sword, the spider-legged monster was instantly cut into two!
"Giggle! Giggle!"
The monster's upper body, severed at the waist, lay in the blood, extending its remaining left hand and beginning to crawl forward. It was very persistent.
Mo Shuying casually picked up a broken spider leg nearby and reinserted it into the monster's back, pinning it in place. Then, he stepped over the monster and went to investigate the place the monster had been trying to reach.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a half-meter-tall bloody light gate.
"It even connects to other places? Fragments, fragments... Could it be that someone did this on purpose? Are there many more World Realm fragments like this?"
With this guess in mind, Mo Shuying's lips curved upward. He looked back at the struggling monster, deciding to eliminate it first and see what this so-called secret treasure was.
"Don't disappoint me."
Mo Shuying walked up to the monster, and the Elemental Demonic Sword ignited with flames, spraying them onto the monster!
"Gah! Gah!"
Sharp, shrill screams echoed as the monster was incinerated by the flames, quickly turning completely charred!
Just as the monster was about to be completely burned, suddenly!
*BANG!*
The monster's rotten head exploded! A black and gold, fist-sized spider jumped out of it! It spread its eight spider legs and lunged towards Mo Shuying's face!
"Hmph!"
Mo Shuying had been prepared. From the previous Illusion Technique, he knew that the enemy was not mindless, so Mo Shuying had kept his Mind's Eye open.
*BANG!*
A small golem made entirely of red flame crystals appeared in front of Mo Shuying. The black and gold spider furiously pounced onto the golem, its eight spider legs plunging directly into the golem's body as if through tofu. But unfortunately, the golem was an elemental construct; it felt no pain and no fear. The spider legs getting stuck inside meant it couldn't move itself, and it was locked by the golem's two irregular arms before it began to burn!
"Ah! Ah! No! Don't! You can't kill me!!"
Suddenly, the spider spoke.
Mo Shuying showed a curious expression. If it could speak, then it could communicate!
"Oh, you can speak human language? Come on, give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you."
Mo Shuying had the golem's flames weaken a bit, so as not to actually burn the spider to death.
"I! I am a Deity! This is disrespecting a Deity!"
The spider replied this way, and Mo Shuying's face fell. He snapped his fingers, and instantly the golem burned furiously!
"Ah!! No!! Pain! It hurts too much! I am a Deity! I am one of the 8 million Oni-Deities!! You can't do this to me!"
Mo Shuying's brow furrowed even further. The so-called 8 million Deities of Nihon were mostly demons and monsters. Any small demon would declare itself a Deity, and they would gather for night parades of a hundred demons or similar events, which was simply self-deception.
"If that's all you have to say, then there's no need to ask further."
Mo Shuying said indifferently, and then he heard.
"Ask! Why don't you ask?! What do you want me to say, why don't you ask?! If you don't ask, how would I know what you want to know?! Ah ah ah ah!"
"Uh..."
Mo Shuying frowned. He really hadn't asked...
But did that matter?!
"If I don't ask, won't you just tell me yourself?! Name, age, identity! Why are you here! What's with this space? What's with this passage? Where does it lead? Who's your boss! Tell me, tell me, tell me!"
Mo Shuying was exasperated! He poked the spider a few times with the Elemental Demonic Sword. Surprisingly, this spider was very tough. Although it was screaming from the burning, the actual damage it sustained was limited.
"I! My name is Tsuchigumo! I don't know my age. My identity is one of the Twelve Oni Generals under my master. This space was separated by my master for me to guard. This passage is my escape route, leading to other Oni Generals. As for who my master is, he is—"
This black-gold spider is actually useful; ask him anything and he'll really tell you!
But before he could finish speaking, a deep voice interrupted him.
"Silence, Tsuchigumo! You are betraying your master! You're asking for death!"
The passage behind Mo Shuying suddenly widened! Immediately after, a tall, burly figure emerged from within—a black-faced, fanged ghoul!
"Chong Gui! You! Quick, save me!"
The spider was overjoyed to see the ghoul arrive; he felt he was saved! He knew Chong Gui's strength and was incredibly confident!
Then…
"Big brother, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! Just ask!"
About thirty seconds later, Tsuchigumo spoke, incredibly docile and sensible. Not far from him, Chong Gui's massive body was stuck headfirst in the ground, an unknown number of his bones broken.
Mo Shuying clapped his hands. He loved large, humanoid monsters like Chong Gui the most. He'd just pull them in, use his AAQAA combo, then finish them with Awe-Inspiring.
"So-called Twelve Oni Generals, are they all this level?" Mo Shuying asked.
"Big brother, this time, the Twelve Oni Generals all have their own strengths, but in terms of ranking, Chong Gui and I are at the very bottom. To put it plainly, we're just making up the numbers. The others are truly formidable! You must be careful!"
Well, this Tsuchigumo knew how to play nice, not forgetting to curry favor even at a time like this.
"Alright, I understand. By the way, what did you say your master's name was just now?"
Mo Shuying asked again. Although Tsuchigumo was being roasted by fire, his whole body still trembled when he heard this question. He stammered, saying,
"My master, is… is… Huh? Wait! Master! I didn't say anything!"
Tsuchigumo's body suddenly began to expand uncontrollably, along with Chong Gui next to him! In an instant, they both transformed into two blood-red bombs!
