It was at this moment that Shi Yu sensed an abnormal spatial fluctuation, or more precisely, an abnormality appeared in the space in one direction.
He instinctively pushed hard in that direction, and spatial energy blocked the incoming metal arrow.
Shi Yu was subjected to a certain force, and his body moved uncontrollably until he hit a tree.
The incoming metal arrow then floated in front of him, completely blocked by his use of spatial power.
"Why did you ambush me?" Shi Yu asked angrily, looking in that direction.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy walked out from that side, holding a metal object in his right hand.
"This Man Faced Demon Spider is more suitable to be my spirit ring; I hope my friend can yield it to me," Tang San tried to negotiate with Shi Yu.
"You want this Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring, and this is how you negotiate with me?" Shi Yu's expression was unfriendly; the other party had clearly tried to take his life just now.
It was only because his reaction was quick enough and his power strong enough that he was able to escape.
If he had reacted even a little slower, he might have been shot dead by the metal arrow the other party fired.
Wait… metal arrow?
Shi Yu suddenly realized something and carefully scrutinized the boy on the other side, especially the metal object in his hand, which looked a bit like a crossbow.
"What's your name?" Shi Yu asked, having a bold guess.
Tang San frowned, not knowing why the other party suddenly asked this, but still said: "Tang San."
It really is Tang San… Shi Yu's heart trembled, and he once again surveyed his surroundings, focusing on the Man Faced Demon Spider lying motionless over there.
Forest… Tang San… Man Faced Demon Spider, is this Ten Thousand Years Ago, the scene where Tang San encountered the Man Faced Demon Spider in Star Dou Great Forest?
"I came to Ten Thousand Years Ago?" Shi Yu's mind buzzed for a moment, feeling utterly incredible.
Tang San saw the other party suddenly become abnormal, dazed where he stood, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, is there anything strange about my name?
He did not make a subsequent move; the ambush had already failed, and it would be difficult to ambush successfully again.
He could only try to negotiate with the other party; if negotiation didn't work, then he would think of another way. He was quite fond of this Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring.
Shi Yu thought a lot but couldn't come to any conclusion, not knowing why he had come to Ten Thousand Years Ago.
He also didn't know if he could go back, or if he would transmigrate again.
His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to curse out loud, what on earth was going on?
His gaze gradually fell on Tang San opposite him. At this moment, Tang San happened to fire the Zhuge Crossbow, but it was not aimed at Shi Yu, but at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The Zhuge Crossbow shot out, ending the Man Faced Demon Spider's life, and soon a purple spirit ring floated out, which was the sign of a thousand-year spirit ring.
"What are you doing?" Shi Yu frowned, displeased with the other party's action.
"I truly need this spirit ring, and I hope my friend can grant it to me," Tang San said politely.
"You unilaterally killed the Man Faced Demon Spider; is this the attitude of negotiation?" Shi Yu was a bit annoyed.
This Man Faced Demon Spider was killed by him with great difficulty, but the other party killed it and took advantage, how could he not be annoyed?
"I was a bit impatient; I apologize to you," Tang San said.
"I don't accept," Shi Yu said coldly. Although he knew the other party was the protagonist Tang San, he still couldn't easily forgive him.
"I have already killed the Man Faced Demon Spider; it is a done deal. Why don't you grant it to me? I, Tang San, will definitely remember this favor."
"If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to Shrek Academy to find me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will definitely repay this favor to you," Tang San negotiated.
A favor from Tang San?
Shi Yu felt that it didn't seem like too much of a loss, but he didn't know if Tang San's promise would be effective.
He recalled whether the original work mentioned Tang San keeping his promises… it seemed not.
"Tang San's credibility needs to be questioned," Shi Yu reminded himself.
Tang San certainly had ability, otherwise he wouldn't have risen and done so well later.
But as for his character, it's a matter of opinion, not something one could describe as very good.
Just comparing Tang San's behavior in the Clear Sky Sect before he grew up and his behavior after he became powerful makes him hard to like.
The strength of one's power determines his attitude towards you. When dealing with Tang San, strength can be said to be the most important thing.
Either you become his subordinate, in which case he might still be a decent person.
"Still a bit upset," Shi Yu was also a person with a temper. The Man Faced Demon Spider was his prey, and the other party killed it without his permission, which was too presumptuous.
"The spirit ring can be yours, but the other things from the Man Faced Demon Spider belong to me," Shi Yu said after some thought.
If this was the Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San absorbed into his spirit ring, then it had an external Spirit Bone.
An external Spirit Bone is a good thing, and he didn't want to just let Tang San have it easily. After all, this was the Man Faced Demon Spider he had defeated, so it was only right for him to take the most valuable things.
"Understood," Tang San immediately agreed. Being able to obtain the spirit ring was already a very good outcome for him.
As for the other things from the Man Faced Demon Spider, what else could there be?
The Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse wouldn't sell for much money; the bodies of such venomous Spirit Beasts are generally of low value.
In this World, the use of poison is very scarce, making it impossible to utilize the venomous flesh and blood of the Man Faced Demon Spider, hence its lack of value.
If the body isn't valuable, then there's nothing else valuable. It's not possible to expect this two-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider to drop a Spirit Bone, right?
Tang San felt it was impossible. Having studied Spirit Beast knowledge with Grandmaster for many years, he knew that it was very difficult for a thousand-year Spirit Beast to drop a Spirit Bone, with a probability of less than one in a thousand.
Shi Yu nodded and walked towards the already deceased Man Faced Demon Spider, while maintaining high vigilance towards Tang San.
After knowing it was Tang San, he became extremely wary. This person had Hidden Weapons, so he had to be extra careful.
Furthermore, this person was not an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old boy; he was ruthless, killing without batting an eye. The other party might appear amiable to him now, but in reality, he might be thinking of how to kill him.
To be honest, he wasn't very willing to deal with Tang San; he felt it would be very tiring.
Of course, he also didn't want to make an enemy of this person; this person was incredibly ruthless towards his enemies, and being his enemy would truly be a headache.
At this moment, he only wanted to take the external Spirit Bone and leave quickly, not wanting to stay with Tang San for even a second.
Tang San's gaze followed Shi Yu's movements, curious about what the other party wanted to get from the Man Faced Demon Spider.
He secretly reloaded the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand; it's always wise to be on guard against others.
Shi Yu came close to the Man Faced Demon Spider, feeling at a loss for how to proceed. The entire Man Faced Demon Spider looked poisonous, and he was reluctant to touch it.
Energy guidance… Shi Yu had a sudden idea, trying to guide the Man Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring energy.
"You cannot absorb this spirit ring," Tang San quickly reminded, his voice a bit cold.
"I'm not after the spirit ring," Shi Yu responded coldly, not giving the other party a good look either.
Just as Tang San was about to speak, he saw that the spirit ring was still there, but something seemed to be pulled out of the spirit ring by the other party.
It works… Shi Yu's attempt to guide the energy out really worked. Purple energy was guided out, forming eight spider leg-shaped bones.
This should be the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone. It's just that in the original work, when Tang San absorbed it, it was absorbed directly with the spirit ring, and he didn't obtain the Spirit Bone separately.
Tang San frowned as he watched, feeling that this must be some treasure. After looking closely, his heart trembled: Spirit Bone!
"This Man Faced Demon Spider actually dropped a Spirit Bone?" Tang San found it incredible; such a low-probability event actually happened?
Tang San tightened his grip on the Zhuge Crossbow, wanting to make a move. This Spirit Bone was a good thing, and he didn't want the other party to benefit from it.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Since I can defeat the Man Faced Demon Spider, I can definitely defeat you. I advise you to be honest and not bring trouble upon yourself," Shi Yu felt a chill and immediately warned in a deep voice.
He stared coldly at Tang San; once the other party made a move, he would immediately react.
Regardless of whether the other party was the protagonist, this external Spirit Bone now belonged to him, and it was impossible to give it to the other party.
