Aupin brought Violette along and returned to the hunting ground of the eight-legged spiders again.

“Sir, you are finally here! You didn’t give up on me, thank goodness!” Yellowteres’ tone was full of surprise and gratefulness.

But soon after, his mood dropped again, he couldn’t hide his disappointment and asked, “Sir, is it just you two? What about the others?”

“Just us two,” Aupin said.

“Sir, are you sure?” Yellowteres stammered. This was a matter of life and death. He was very nervous. “Perhaps we should call for more people.”

Violette snorted coldly. “Are we here to save you, or to sacrifice more people? Your only option is to trust us.”

Yellowteres finally blurted out, “Sir, you guys must be careful!”

Violette took out bottles of potions from her small leather pouch and handed them to Aupin.

Aupin then threw the potion bottles in the air, these bottles hit tree trunks or stones, breaking apart, the liquid inside quickly spread to the surroundings.

There was a weird and unpleasant smell in the air. It smelled like burnt chicken feathers, dog feces and dried squid.

If magic could be used, Light Body Technique and Fly Technique could be used to easily rescue Yellowteres from hanging in the sky.

But in the current environment, the methods adopted by Aupin and Violette were mainly potions.

These were all flammable potions, which were accurately thrown to important locations by Aupin.

After healing from his injury, Aupin noticed that his strength had increased significantly.

After discussing with Violette, they felt that this might be the result of the temporary mixture made by using the blood of the Monkey Tailed Brown Bear.

This type of medicine was not rare.

The most well-known was the Strength Potion.

After taking this potion, the user’s strength would be permanently increased.

Of course, after drinking too many times, the effect of the potion would decrease sharply.

There was also another possibility that because of the battle to the death, the bloodline in Aupin’s body had been awakened to some extent.

The nobles was one of the groups with the best bloodlines in the world.

Because of this, they were talented and shrewd.

The Centum’pin clan were once great nobles in the south, so they had an excellent natural bloodline. The source of its bloodline was rumored to be traced back to the Legendary-rank Queen of Golden Needle.

People with this bloodline were fast and reliable, with excellent accuracy.

This bloodline did not excel at strength, but there might be other bloodlines hidden in Aupin’s body.

The most common bloodlines included Dragon, Giant, Ogre, and even Demon bloodlines.

Because of the frequent marriages between nobles and the extravagance of their private life,

bloodlines were mixed between each other. Sometimes one’s bloodline could be hidden for their entire lifetime. With a lack of effective identification methods, it was difficult to determine how many bloodlines a person had.

Aupin had experienced a battle to the death and exploded his life potential in a desperate situation, awakening his hidden bloodline. This was extremely rare throughout history amongst all races.

There was another possibility that Violette had hypothesized.

The true cultivation rank of Aupin was not just Silver, but Gold.

A Silver rank could reach the limit of the human body’s ability. A Gold-rank cultivation base surpassed the human body, and had extraordinary abilities in speed, strength, and recovery.

If Aupin had a Gold-rank cultivation, then he was unlikely to already be a Golden Powerhouse. According to his age, he would be in the development stage.

Therefore, the increase in his strength was the result of the Gold-rank battle aura continuously rising in his body.

But in any case, any increase in Aupin’s power was a good thing.

Almost all of the flammable potions made by Violette were used, Aupin then took out a flint stone and produced a blue fire spark.

Fire sparks fell on the potion and a flame burst out violently.

The flame spread rapidly, the flammable potions ignited instantly, forming a raging fire wall in the blink of an eye!

The wall of fire burned violently and began to cling to the surrounding trees, burning higher and higher.

There was a creaking sound from the towering trees, the eight-legged spiders were agitated.

Yellowteres felt the air underneath quickly heat up, his heart beating quickly. He never imagined the young girl to suddenly create such an intense situation.

So this girl is a potioneer. But how are they going to save me?

While Yellowteres was wondering, Aupin began to move.

He took out a short spear behind him and smeared some flammable potion on the tip of the short spear. Aupin held the short spear near the flames by his feet, the tip of the short spear ignited easily.

Then, Aupin raised his arms slightly, and then threw the spear violently.

The short spear’s trajectory drew a bright arc in the air, then precisely landed on its target.

It was a panther-shaped target which had already suffocated in the spider webs.

After the short spear pierced it, the flames immediately spread, scorching the web.

The panther-shaped prey fell to the ground almost immediately.

Just like Aupin had guessed, this was a Scaley Horned Black Panther. Because of the scales on its body, the flames on the panther quickly extinguished.

Aupin continued to throw out spears, animal prey fell to the ground one after another.

Some of them continued to burn in the flames, while the flames had extinguished on the others.

“They’re here.” Violette’s heart trembled slightly, she saw several eight-legged spiders quickly falling to the ground, they began to re-weave the webs for the fallen prey.

For some prey that were still burning with flames, the eight-legged spiders spewed a thick green liquid from their mouth, extinguished the flames, then re-weaved the web.

Obviously, they were capable of dealing with fire.

Soon, all of the eight-legged spiders were on the ground.

A total of twenty-six Bronze beasts were in front of the young couple.

Most of the eight-legged spiders were trying to recover their food, only three were faced towards Aupin and Violette.

Violette secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

These eight-legged spiders were wild beasts, without the cunning and insidious nature of Blue Wolfs. This made the girl regain her confidence as a human.

The three eight-legged spiders approached, but Aupin stood motionless.

When they got to an ideal distance, Aupin calmly ignited the flammable potion near his left foot.

A second wall of fire suddenly appeared, the three spiders were trapped in the walls of fire.

The spiders let out a horrifying cry. They began to try and spray spider silk into the trees, and pull themselves upwards.

But the spider silks were burnt as soon as they hit the flames.

The walls of fire gradually spread and the three spiders were forced into desperation by Aupin.

In the midst of desperation, the three spiders had to break through the fire.

They successfully rushed out of the walls of fire, with some flames attached to their bodies.

They exclaimed a series of cries as they panicked in fear.

The spiders working hard to reclaim their prey saw these three flaming companions rushing towards them, they suddenly went into chaos.

“Now!”

A sharp glow flashed in Aupin’s eyes.

He threw three flaming short spears in a row, the short spears accurately hit the spider silk on the top of Yellowteres’ head.

There were four strands of spider silk hanging onto him, like thick white hemp ropes. The spider silk ignited and was burnt almost instantaneously.

Yellowteres was only hanging on by one strand of spider silk. His web instantly lost balance, swayed in the air, and banged against a tree trunk.

Afterwards, Aupin threw out the fourth burning short spear, igniting the only remaining strand of spider silk.

Yellowteres shouted as his body fell to the ground.

Although it was painful, he was not injured.

Because the sticky spider silk itself had excellent ductility, when he hit the tree trunk, the spider silk was stretched out and he was only two meters above the ground.

Unfortunately, when an eight-legged spider that had just successfully captured back its prey noticed the movement here, it immediately pounced towards Yellowteres.

Yellowteres’ eyes widened, he suddenly let out a growl, then rolled into the walls of fire.

The flames instantly burned the spider silk covered on him, then began to burn his body.

But Yellowteres showed the perseverance and tenacity of a man at sea. He kept running inside the walls of fire without saying a word, until he finally got out the other end.

He successfully escaped from the eight-legged spider, but with flames all over his body, he was likely going to be burnt to death.

“Good!” Violette praised him, “Come here!”

Yellowteres had already subconsciously rushed towards the couple.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, Violette raised her arm and spilled out a potion bottle.

The blue powder scattered on the Yellowteres’ body.

Yellowteres suddenly let out a desperate scream.

The flames on his body converged mysteriously, and then was reduced to nothingness by the blue powder.

Yellowteres’ body trembled.

His body had changed beyond recognition. Only a tiny bit of hair was left, with heavy smoke coming from his head. His face, hands, and arms were all burnt.

He ran in front of Aupin and Violette, quickly passed them and said, “Go, go, there is still a big one!”

A surging aura of a beast fell from the sky.

Violette and Aupin remained calm.

This was the Silver-rank eight-legged spider leader.

It was larger, its blue hair was thicker, and its eight spider legs were longer.

It’s movements cut through the air with a sharp howling sound as it rushed towards Aupin, Violette, and Yellowteres at an alarming speed.

“You guys go first!” At this critical moment, Aupin was the first to react. He stared furiously at Yellowteres with a cold face.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

He quickly threw out three short spears.

However, the eight-legged spider was as fast as the wind: it easily dodged the spears.

Aupin’s spear supply was exhausted, he clenched his jaw, raised a long spear, and aimed towards the eight-legged spider leader.

“Sir!” Violette’s exclamation came from behind.

“Go, don’t let us become a liability!” Yellowteres shouted.

However, they had missed their opportunity while hesitating.

The spider leader blasted three strands of spider silk, accurately hitting the three of them.

Aupin’s spear and hands were bound by spider silk, he could only kick and wrestle the spider leader.

Violette’s robe was glued to the spider silk. The girl displayed the agility and flexibility of a young body with all her might. She quickly took off the robe and bent over to take out the dagger tied to her leg.

“Sir, catch!” Just as Violette was about to throw the dagger at Aupin, a cloud of spider silk came.

The spider silk rapidly expanded in the air, forming a delicate hunting net. The spider web hit Violette, covering the girl’s chest and waist, knocking her to the ground. She was stuck firmly in place.

Violette was hit while throwing the dagger. Although the dagger was thrown out, it was not thrown towards Aupin, it just happened to fall near Yellowteres.

Yellowteres’ right foot was wrapped in spider silk, he was lying on the ground, struggling frantically as he was being dragged by the spider leader.

Yellowteres fumbled and grabbed the dagger.

He drew out the dagger and swung it with all his strength. He missed twice before accurately cutting off the spider silk.

Yellowteres got out and quickly ran.

“Throw the dagger to him!” Violette screamed.

“No, no, I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!!” Yellowteres screamed, he fled like a crazy person.

The spider leader did not target him, he disappeared into the forest.

“Damn it!” Violette was frightened and furious. At this critical moment, Yellowteres escaped with their only weapon!

Aupin and Violette tried to rescue him, but he turned his back on them and chose to escape by himself.
