Capítulo 489: Chapter 490: Visitor from Beyond the Heavens
The two of them focused their gaze and, with the help of the firelight, could clearly see what it was.
It was an eight-legged spider, its body entirely black; from its reaction, it was obviously also startled by the fire.
With a swift movent of its eight legs, it attempted to quickly scurry away.
Mr. Nan Chen let out a stern shout.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
He raised his hand, and the fire transford into several balls of fla that flew towards the spider.
When the fire hit the ground, it ford a circle of flas that trapped the spider inside.
The spider was well aware of the potency of the Fire Holy Seal’s Spiritual Fire and, cornered by the circle of flas, began to emit frantic, squeaking noises of distress.
Mr. Nan Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his facial muscles involuntarily twitching.
“It’s almost like magic; did you already know there was a living creature in here, girl?”
Mr. Nan Chen’s expression was strange, a combination of joy and frustration.
Such a good thing, how could he have missed it?
Fifty thousand taels—just last night, he and others were laughing at Feng Bailing for spending fifty thousand taels on such a small Heavenly Stone.
If they knew that inside Feng Bailing’s Heavenly Stone there was such a treasure, they would collectively spit blood.
“Mr. Nan Chen, to be honest, I knew there was sothing different about this stone, but I had no idea it would be a living spider.”
Feng Bailing looked astonished, glancing at the dark and glossy spider.
This creature was no small thing; once it left the Heavenly Stone’s vicinity, its body swelled a bit, growing to the size of Feng Bailing’s fist.
Its appearance closely resembled the future’s black widow spider, with a round and bulging belly, a bit terrifying but sohow also cute.
“Girl, you’ve struck it lucky; this creature is an Amber Spider. There are rumors that among the heavenly stones that fall from the sky, there is a divine spider known as the Amber Spider that feeds only on treasures, has a lifespan as long as the heavens, and brings good fortune. This Amber Spider must have been born inside that piece of Heavenly Stone. Its body is entirely black, which ans it must have devoured a great deal of Heavenly Iron. Looking at its condition, it must have eaten a significant amount of Heavenly Iron. If you can make it spit it out, you’ll make a fortune.”
Mr. Nan Chen wore an envious expression.
Feng Bailing understood Mr. Nan Chen’s aning now; having an Amber Spider ant possessing a great deal of Heavenly Iron!
Feng Bailing was overjoyed.
“Then why hesitate? Let’s catch it first and make it spit it out.”
Feng Bailing’s eyes glead with the sight of money, and beholding the Amber Spider was like seeing a pile of gleaming silver coins, no, a heap of glittering gold rushing towards her.
“Ah, girl, don’t be too rushed. That thing is really powerful; it’s resistant to swords and spears, and even Gang Qi might not harm it.”
Mr. Nan Chen’s complexion was sowhat pale; he had been using the Fire Holy Seal for quite a while now, and the power of the Spiritual Fire was gradually weakening.
Trapped by the Spiritual Fire, the Amber Spider noticed after a mont that the fire was getting weaker.
It moved its bean-like eyes around and, with a strong kick of its eight slender legs, leaped out of the encirclent of the fire ring.
Just then, Aunt Chenchen heard so commotion from outside and rushed in, concerned that sothing had happened. As soon as she entered, a dark glossy spider fell from above onto her face.
“A spider!”
Aunt Chenchen scread, incredibly distraught by the creature with so many legs.
Panicking, she waved her hands trying to swat the Amber Spider away.
But when her hand touched the spider, Aunt Chenchen scread out in pain.
The creature was incredibly hard all over; a slap from her hand made Aunt Chenchen feel as if she was going to break her hand.
The Amber Spider was startled as well and clung to Ouyang Chenchen’s face, refusing to co down.
Seeing the Amber Spider clinging there, Mr. Nan Chen also showed a look of urgency, fearing that it might harm his own disciple.
“Amber Spiders are afraid of fire; only Spiritual Fire can intimidate them.”
Mr. Nan Chen took a deep breath and then tried to activate the Fire Holy Seal again, but his complexion was already looking quite bad.
Feng Bailing’s mind raced upon witnessing this, as the Academy Head once said that the Five Elents generate and overco each other, with water beating fire and wood generating fire. Her Wooden Holy Seal might be able to assist Mr. Nan Chen at this ti.
Feng Bailing slowly released the Wood Spiritual Power of her Wooden Holy Seal, and as soon as the Wood Spiritual Power appeared, the previously dwindling Spiritual Fire surged up again.
Mr. Nan Chen was taken aback; he didn’t understand why the Spiritual Fire suddenly grew stronger, and he dared not slack off. The Spiritual Fire whooshed and flew out.
Sensing the threat of the Spiritual Fire, the Amber Spider released Ouyang Chenchen and attempted to flee through the door.
But the Spiritual Fire turned into a cage, trapping it inside.
The Amber Spider inside the cage let out a desperate sizzling sound.
The three inside the room watched the Amber Spider trapped in the flas.
“Did this damn thing jump out of a rock? I’ve never seen such a big spider in my life.”
“It seems to be saying sothing, but unfortunately, we don’t understand its aning.”
Mr. Nan Chen said troubledly.
“I’ll go get Xiaojin.”
Feng Bailing thought for a mont; it seed that only Dugu Xiaojin could communicate with this black creature.
Last night, Dugu Xiaojin had been in deep contemplation all night, hadn’t gone to the Imperial Academy today and was still at Prince Shun’s Mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, he was brought to the Zuixian Inn.
“Queen Mother, this spider looks so cute.”
As soon as Dugu Xiaojin saw the Amber Spider, his eyes shone, clearly fond of the creature.
Feng Bailing looked at Dugu Xiaojin with so concern; the boy’s aesthetics were sowhat twisted. How on earth was this Amber Spider cute?
“Queen Mother, can you put out these flas? It’s very afraid of fire, and it promised that as long as we don’t burn it with fire, it won’t run around.”
Dugu Xiaojin communicated with the Amber Spider quite smoothly, and a mont later, Dugu Xiaojin spoke.
Mr. Nan Chen gathered back the Spiritual Fire.
“Xiaojin, be careful too, don’t get too close.”
Feng Bailing was genuinely worried that the omnivorous Amber Spider would suddenly munch on Xiaojin if they weren’t careful.
Dugu Xiaojin approached the Amber Spider, which looked on guard. It had a great fear of humans, an instinct of animals.
But the young boy just stared at it with his dark, shiny eyes, and his innocent expression made it feel the boy wasn’t a bad person.
Moreover, an aura emitted from him made the Amber Spider feel at ease.
“Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. My na is Xiaojin; that’s my Queen Mother, next to her is Mr. Nan Chen and Aunt Chenchen, and everyone here is a good person.”
Dugu Xiaojin slowly moved next to the Amber Spider.
He reached out his hand, the Amber Spider hesitated a bit, but also slowly stretched out a leg, and the pale little hand grasped the glossy black spider leg.
“This kid’s got so skill, I’ve never seen such a young Beast Control Master before.”
Mr. Nan Chen was amazed, looking at Dugu Xiaojin.
Feng Bailing also noticed that Dugu Xiaojin was sowhat different today; he had an indescribable transcendent aura about him, and the previous madness and obsession he carried were all gone.
