My Demon Husband Is a Snake

"Fire God, come forth!" I pulled out the hairpin and activated the fire charm.

The fire phoenix, formed from the fire charm, easily burned the spider silk into ash, acting as if it were alive.

After burning the spider silk, it did not extinguish.

Instead, it intelligently circled around the three of us, ready to defend against attacks from the spider silk at any moment.

But the deadliest thing wasn't the spider silk.

The ten-meter-wide giant spider caused the ground to shake as it ran, and the green breath it sprayed from its mouth was corrosive, dissolving a chunk off the bottom of the stone steps.

The entire staircase trembled on the verge of collapse, suddenly pushed to the edge of tumbling down.

"You two, run up quickly, don't look back," I bellowed in a low voice.

Yang Xi steadied himself, holding onto the remaining fragments of the staircase.

Slipping several times before climbing up, he asked, "What about you?"

"I can manage on my own. Can you two burdens handle the spider?" I countered, somewhat feigning toughness.

It was only at this moment that I knew how terrifying the real strength of Ten Thousand Poison Hall was.

They could get the entire population to cultivate Spider Gu, with the Mother Gu as big as Godzilla!

Even with the Ice Silkworm in my possession, I was afraid I couldn't handle this creature.

The current priority was to get Yang Xi and Chen Ahmao to run for their lives as fast as they could.

I stayed behind to buy some time and find an opportunity to escape.

But suddenly, I felt lighter as I was lifted sideways into someone's arms, "I'm sorry, Master, this is impolite."

"You..." I was completely stunned.

This kid was actually risking danger to carry me and run together.

"My robe is thick, there's no skin contact; it's not considered inappropriate," he said, sweating profusely as he ran and still explaining to me.

The stretch of stairs we were standing on a moment ago had now been corroded by the poison fog to the point of turning to dust.

I touched my forehead, "It's not about propriety. I'm too heavy, you'll lose strength as you run."

"Before I dropped out of school, I was the weightlifting specialist in the athletics team, lifting dumbbells every day. You're so light, it's nothing to me," he said, drenched in sweat and still insisting it was nothing.

If it weren't for the relentless pursuers behind us, pumping adrenaline through our veins.

I reckon Chen Ahmao would have run out of stamina long ago, "If you can't handle it anymore, put me down; I can run."

The sound of the continuously collapsing staircase echoed in my ears. Just what did Yang Xi's urine do to provoke the venomous spider?

Like a lunatic, it chased after us relentlessly from the bottom floor.

Chen Ahmao truly showed his bravery at the critical moment. Never having practiced Mysterious Art or seen such a frightful scene.

Yet, he gathered his strength and carried me back to the Temple.

I hadn't even sweated a drop.

Chen Ahmao, on the other hand, gasped for breath as he gently set me down.

He collapsed to the floor like a mudslide, muscles trembling from overexertion.

"Sit tight." My first response was to settle Chen Ahmao into a safe corner.

From behind, there came a rumbling beneath the ground.

Turning around, I saw an immensely large human-faced spider.

It charged into the great hall, breaking through the ground's bricks and stones with its back.

A chill went through my heart as I furrowed my brows.

Once this creature went on a rampage,

It would first devour us before escaping the hall, and then it would go on to massacre the village.

I not only couldn't run,

I absolutely had to stop it!!

Furthermore, if I could kill it,

All the smaller gu that had been spawned in the village would die as well.

The affair of the Heavenly Spider Cultivation could finally be brought to a close, never to pose a threat again.

This battle was unavoidable.

However, facing such a colossus, my only fighting experience was from the last time I lost control during the bout with the senior Zhang Zidao.

Even though I had many talisman papers and the Demon-breaking Hairpin's reinforcement,

I only felt seventy percent confident.

I ran to a far corner and first threw an Evil-Breaking Talisman towards the giant spider as a test.

The spider, having used Evil Arts to cultivate its progeny, was covered in evil energy. A single piece of talisman paper struck it, blowing a black hole in it!

Good, it was effective!

"Help... Master, why is it coming after me?" Amid Chen Ahmao's unfortunate cries, the giant spider completely ignored my attack and leaped towards him.

If that leap landed, death was certain in the Underworld!
