Chapter 380 - 278: Legend of the Hungry Spider

During the war, it hunted nearly a hundred Flying Dragons, consuming some of them to further increase its power. Not only that, but she also devoured all the Dragon Hunting Spiders that died around her, gaining strength from their bodies.

Apparently, Isrile is now not only stronger, but has also evolved into a human form!

At this point, Long Yi was at a loss, as the memories he inherited only resurfaced when needed. And now, it was clear that these memories came too late. How was he supposed to fight this old monster that had lived for over ten thousand years?

Although Long Yi’s mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, his actions were steady. Defense was not his nature. After blocking the first attack, Long Yi immediately counterattacked. However, Isrile’s fists were incredibly hard, to the point that Long Yi’s crystal Greatsword could not fully cut through the Spider Silks! Even after incorporating the talents of the ’First Son of God’ and the ’Giant’s Disdain’, Long Yi could not fully unleash his power against the strength of the Giant within Isrile’s body!

Where is your weakness?

Long Yi looked at Isrile’s whole body covered in torn Spider Silks, shimmering with an unusual light in the reflected glow of her massive spider eyes.

Spider eyes?

Long Yi smiled, even though he did not know what kind of creature she was! But she couldn’t protect her enormous body everywhere, could she?

Long Yi suddenly shouted, stabbing down with his crystal Greatsword like piercing through a thick steel plate. But the feeling was horribly off, as he pulled the sword out, there was no blood or fluid flowing out.

"You are foolish, Giant. I gained the ability to transform into a human by relying on the power of the Dragon Clan. When the Dragon Clan transforms into human form, do you think their original bodies would remain in place? What you stabbed was nothing more than my outer shell. And what had been fighting you all along was merely the shell I shed many years ago. And I have many such shells," said Isrile.

Isrile waved her hand slightly, and six giant spider eyes slowly rose from the spider’s body, turning into six spheres of light, which brightened up the surroundings.

The giant Dragon Hunting Spider was suspended on a huge web. Long Yi faced Isrile, and Ai Lin was slowly standing up, coming to Long Yi’s side. The giant web began to vibrate, and more Dragon Hunting Spiders crawled over. But those spiders had no eyes. Clearly, according to Isrile’s words, they were just discarded shells.

"Brother Long..." Ai Lin whispered.

"Yeah, be careful," Long Yi nodded, he didn’t have time to comfort Ai Lin right now.

"You have the scent of the Dragon Clan... are you a member of the Dragon Clan?" Isrile looked at Ai Lin with a hint of confusion.

"Fairy Dragon," Ai Lin said.

"Fairy Dragon? What is that?" Isrile obviously didn’t know much about Fairy Dragons.

"Didn’t your era have Fairy Dragons?" Long Yi asked.

"I have eaten many dragons, but never a Fairy Dragon. The knowledge given to us by the Giants does not include Fairy Dragons," said Isrile. "It seems my luck today is good. You have let my food for the next year escape, but left me with a Giant and a Fairy Dragon... Even though I might starve, it’s worth it!"

Saying that, Isrile abruptly shouted, and the six spider eyes in the sky simultaneously flashed with tiny lightning bolts!

"Watch out! It’s a Thunderstrike!" Ai Lin warned loudly.

The next moment, the Thunderstrike arrived!

The thing about lightning... it’s impossible to dodge.

However... I’m a top student! Have you ever heard of a lightning rod?

Suddenly, Long Yi pulled out a Dragon Spear and stabbed it into the Dragon Hunting Spider’s shell. The thunderbolts in the sky were immediately attracted to the Dragon Spear, converging on it and spreading to the ground beneath!

As the Thunderstrike dissipated, the Dragon Spear was slowly bending from the heat!

And Isrile’s fist was already before his eyes!

Bang!

Long Yi had no time to dodge, and could only protect his head with his arms. The punch hit him in the forehead, causing him to see stars even with his Giant body.

Such terrifying brute force!

But Ai Lin had also rushed up to the side. With her incredible speed and agility, Ai Lin landed a flurry of blows on Isrile. The most basic Magic Missile connected with the fastest punches and kicks. But in the next moment, countless huge Magic Missiles fell from the six spider eyes in the sky!

First a Blazing Impact, then a Thunderstrike, and now a Magic Missile?

"You’re learning my magic?"

Ai Lin finally realized. These spider eyes were instantly learning the magic she cast!

"It’s not hard." said Isrile.

Laughing, Isrile rushed towards Ai Lin. Ai Lin initially wanted to instinctively use a Shield to block, but then she remembered that doing so would also let the enemy learn the spell for Shield! She quickly leapt high into the air, beating her wings in an attempt to evade the enemy’s range through flight. However, Isrile swiftly raised her hand, with a strand of Spider Silk shooting out from her wrist, binding Ai Lin tightly, and quickly pulling her towards Isrile!

"You’re overthinking!"

With a thunderous shout from Long Yi, the Elf curved blade whistled out, instantly severing the Spider Silk, and Ai Lin landed heavily on the spider shell.

At this moment, Long Yi had no time to care about Ai Lin. The time for the Dragon Breath armor had come, freeing him from the shackles of the Dragon Breath armor, Long Yi’s speed increased once again.

Giant’s Ring! Activate!

His speed and strength increased even further!

Bang!

Fist-to-fist collision.

All of Long Yi’s talent ’Giant’s Grasp’ is exerted. Long Yi’s fist turns into something as solid as fine gold, carrying with it the effect of shattering the opponent’s Fighting Aura.

With this punch, the spider silk on Isrile’s hand was actually scattered!

This talent is effective against spider silk?

But nonetheless, Long Yi merely repelled Isrile’s fist and didn’t injure her in the slightest!

The strength of Isrile’s body is simply breathtaking!

But it’s not over just yet!

The second punch, the third punch! Innumerable punches!

Once the attack starts, it must persist until one of them is too exhausted to continue!

Spider silk all over Isrile’s body is scattered in all directions. Soon, things started to become somewhat unsuitable for children. But Long Yi dared not stop his storm-like attacks, as they didn’t create a single mark on Isrile’s fair body! He didn’t even dare to use Fighting Aura to expand his advantage now! The first Fighting Aura technique is too slow, if he tries to use it, she might get an opportunity to counterattack. Furthermore, if he allowed her to learn his Fighting Aura techniques, then the one who would end up suffering would be him!

But Isrile is even more anxious!

She had been starved for centuries! She had to alleviate her hunger by sleeping throughout these centuries. This time, food is sent to her, and it’s the Giant and delicious Dragon Clan! How could she possibly let this chance slip through her fingers! However, Isrile is not at her best right now. To alleviate her hunger, she had to stay in human form to achieve the lowest energy consumption. In this state, her combat relies entirely on instinct. She could learn the opponent’s skills instantaneously through her talents, but clearly, her opponent does not intend to give her this opportunity.

What can she do? The food that’s at her mouth is about to fly away?

In fact, Isrile doesn’t have much feeling for the Giants or Dragon Clan. Initially, she hunted down the Dragon Clan out of instinct, following the Giants’ orders. When the war ended, and the giants left, according to the Giants’ orders, she and her kind went into hiding underground. Relying on the Dragon Hunting Spider’s strong abilities, she ate underground beasts and her own kind. After many years, as times change, her food decreased, and she couldn’t leave this place.

The orders are absolute; she must hide underground. It didn’t bother her. Just that not being able to satisfy her hunger upset her.

"Gurgle——"

A strange sound came, Long Yi turned a deaf ear to it.

"Gurgle Gurgle——"

The sound came again, Long Yi was still launching fierce attacks!

"Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle——"

"Enough! Stop attacking!"

Isrile yelled, abruptly took a punch with her chest, pushed Long Yi away, and then with a look of helplessness said: "You guys go away!"

What?

Long Yi was dumbstruck, what just happened?

"You can go now! Sigh—— why is it so hard to get something to eat? Wiping you out in a matter of seconds by revealing my true form isn’t a big deal...but attacking with my real form, even if I ate you guys, it wouldn’t be enough to fill the gaps between my teeth and would leave me more hungry... forget it, I’ll endure should pass...Sigh, juicy and delicious Worm Vehicles."

Isrile sat down on the spot, hugging her stomach, talking to herself while facing away from Long Yi.

Long Yi couldn’t believe his ears. He interpreted this as some cunning scheme of the Dragon Hunting Spider, watching Isrile’s fair skin gradually recovering from bruises. But he felt it wasn’t a ruse because he didn’t feel like he gained anything from this.

Long Yi slowly backed away, helping Ai Lin to break free from the spider silk. In fact, just now, all these spider silks lost their stickiness and Ai Lin broke free from it herself. The spider silk began to surface on Isrile’s body again, rewrapping her.

"Brother Long, what the hell is going on?" Ai Lin was confused.

"I’m wondering the same thing." Long Yi was even more confused.

"What’s there to wonder about! Hurry up and get lost!" Isrile turned back, and surprisingly there were tear marks on her face!

My God! She even cried!

Ai Lin and Long Yi both climbed onto Long Yi’s arm and twisted it forcefully! Long Yi inhaled sharply due to the sudden pain.

"Is this real?" Ai Lin asked.

Long Yi silently nodded his head, then looked at Isrile. He thought about what to say but didn’t know how to start. The atmosphere felt a bit awkward. Well, even if they failed, things couldn’t get any worse than this, right?

Eventually, Long Yi took out a roast beef leg from his private space and asked:

"I have some food here, would you like to have some first?"

The Maillard reaction during roasting greatly enhances the flavor of food. Maybe the Dragon Hunting Spider would scoff at this, but at least, Isrile has a human-like body in front of him.

"Gurgle——"

Isrile’s stomach made an unprecedented noise, her eyes lit up. (To be continued. If you like this book, welcome to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
