Besides, shouldn't a 'father' fight to protect his children?
slam-la-
Hearing the sound of the stream flowing not far away, Spider Sister's spirits lifted slightly, and the panic on her face subsided somewhat. Even the wounds on her body that had not yet healed seemed to hurt less.
With Xia Yan's deliberate leniency, she has successfully escaped into the area under 'Dad's' control.
Before us was a stream that wasn't very wide.
"dad--!"
Spider Sister swore that this was the first time she had called out the word "Dad" so sincerely since she came to Nata Spider Mountain.
Before the words were finished, a massive figure descended from the height with the force of Mount Tai crashing down.
"Chaaah—!!!"
With a strange roar, a pair of feet, at least size 50, stomped straight toward Xia Yan's location with the force of a meteorite hitting the earth.
thump—
Smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring Xia Yan and the huge figure that had just landed, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Although the spider father came running as called, the spider sister did not hesitate at all. She didn't stop until she reached the other side of the stream to see what was going on.
After the loud bang, there was no more movement in the smoke and dust. The riverbank fell into an eerie silence, where the sounds of wind, water, and spiders crawling could be clearly heard together.
"Did it... did it work!?"
"That bastard should be dead by now. After all, although 'Dad' isn't very bright, he's the strongest among us 'family members,' and he even had the advantage of a sneak attack..."
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a large pit, nearly five meters in diameter, appeared on what was once a flat riverbank.
Two figures, one tall and one short, stood in the middle of the pit, looking exceptionally conspicuous.
This was exactly what Spider Sister had expected, since Spider Demon Dad was a monster created by Rui using Blood Demon Art, and his size was enormous.
He is usually about 2.5 meters tall.
The only thing that surprised her was that the shorter one was actually the spider father…
Spider Sister gasped, completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief.
In the nearly half-meter-deep pit, Xia Yan was stroking his chin in amazement, while the 'father' on whom the Spider Demon Sister had placed such high hopes had lost his arms and lower body.
However, Xia Yan chopped her in half at the waist. She was even shorter than Spider Sister and was now bowing her head, looking as if she was about to breathe her last.
"...No, you are not allowed to come near...my family..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, are they really your family? Why are all the other spider demons so white, but yours are black?"
"Normally, it should be the other way around, like the father being white and the child being dark-skinned, or something like that?"
"...No, you are not allowed to come near...my...family..."
Spider Dad ignored Xia Yan's teasing and just squeezed out the sentence again with great effort, as if this was the only line he was supposed to have.
"Oh dear, is that all you can say...?"
Xia Yan shook his head somewhat boredly, wondering why Ayame, a serious house-play enthusiast, would portray her father in such a way.
brush--
With a flash of sword light, the spider father's hideous head rolled to the ground, turning into ashes, ending his tragic and long life.
At the same time, Xia Yan turned his head and looked at Spider Sister, who was stunned because her 'father' had been instantly killed, and a bright smile as sincere as Takayama Jin's appeared on his face.
"Oh! Are you worried about me?"
At this moment, Spider Sister's mind went blank, and she vaguely heard a rather oppressive electronic sound that gave her a strong sense of urgency.
And at the moment the music briefly stopped, every cell in her body was conveying a single thought to her.
Run!
Without the slightest hesitation, Spider Sister followed her heart and acted entirely on instinct!
Just like how he led Xia Yan to the area where his father was, he turned around and ran wildly towards where his 'mother' was!
Having witnessed the tragic deaths of her 'brother' and 'father', she naturally knew that her 'mother' would be no match for Xia Yan either.
After all, the 'mother's' strongest method is nothing more than manipulating a puppet made from the body of the former 'father'.
In terms of strength, the former 'father' is naturally no match for the current 'father,' otherwise he wouldn't have been eliminated by the current 'father' and handed over to the 'mother' to deal with.
The only one who can stand up to Xia Yan, or rather, the only one who can stop Xia Yan, is his own 'younger brother,' Rui, the fifth of the twelve demon moons who is especially favored by that master.
She knew this, but she dared not and could not bring Xia Yan to Lei's side!
Because, as a 'family member,' as an 'older sister,' if I can't protect my younger brother Lei, then I have no reason to exist.
In other words, the moment they meet again, Xia Yan won't even need to lift a finger; Lei will kill him first!
Chapter 387 The Demon Hunter is still chasing me, damn it!
In reality, Spider Demon Sister knew very well that although Rui called her "older sister," it was just a game of make-believe.
I'm just exchanging my playing with others for their protection; it's a win-win situation.
Spider Sister naturally wouldn't dare to face Exhaustion's wrath.
However, after witnessing firsthand how even the strongest 'father' besides Lei was instantly defeated, she didn't dare turn around and face Xia Yan.
Therefore, it wasn't that she chose 'Mom', but rather that 'Mom' was her only choice!
Moreover, Spider Sister wasn't just making hasty decisions; it was the result of careful consideration.
Based on her own observations and summaries, and combined with what Xia Yan had said before, Spider Sister came to a conclusion.
Just as Lei was addicted to playing house, the demon hunter behind him was also addicted to a hunting game similar to cat and mouse.
Furthermore, they have certain external requirements for their prey.
At least in appearance, they shouldn't look as bizarre as the mentally ill 'brother' and the brainless 'father'.
Fortunately, the spider mother is clearly the type who can meet the other party's requirements!
Moreover, she has a rather weak personality and is the type that looks easy to bully.
In other words, if Xia Yan is lured to the area where Spider 613's mother is located, there is a high probability that he will not kill her as ruthlessly and cleanly as he did with his 'brother' and 'father'.
Instead, they will treat the other party as they would treat themselves, slowly hunting and manipulating them, listening to their cries of agony, and appreciating their despair.
Seriously, how can there be such a person! They're worse than a ghost!
Why don't you become a ghost?
Thinking of this, Spider Sister couldn't help but turn around and look. What came into view was Xia Yan's handsome face and kind smile.
It gave her a chilling feeling, as if the demon hunter behind her had completely guessed her thoughts!
The Demon Hunter is still chasing me, damn it!
Spider Sister burst into tears.
On this day, she was reminded once again of the fear of being dominated by the demon hunter.
That happened many years ago.
At that time, he was not yet a member of the Lower Moon Demon's 'family'; he was just a weak demon with no talent and no Blood Demon Art.
The only thing worth praising is their instinct to cling to life and fear death.
It was this instinct that prevented me from being like those mindless ghosts who knowingly rushed in to their deaths despite knowing they couldn't win.
Instead, they chose to run away.
Chased by a group of demon slayers, he ran in a panic to Mount Natagumo, where he met his 'younger brother,' Lower Moon Five, Rui.
Those 'powerful' demon hunters who had driven him to the brink of despair were like pieces of paper in front of Lei, easily torn to shreds with a wave of their hands.
It was on that very night that she drank the blood of the man who had given her the strength to be transformed into her current form by his own hands, becoming his 'older sister'.
They barely survived, they've been working so hard to eat people, they've never made a mistake, and they've never been punished for being tired!
I'm living such a hard life just to survive!
How could I possibly die here!
That place... if only I could get there...
Seeing that Spider Sister was clearly running away, but her goal was very clear, as if she was deliberately luring him to a certain place, Xia Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile of interest.
He had naturally guessed what the other party was thinking.
It's not that Xia Yan can read her thoughts; after all, he still can't use his mental powers and can't use mind control to see through other people's thoughts.
It was only to prevent Lei from escaping that he had already been monitoring the entire mountain in real time through his Byakugan, so he naturally knew where Spider Sister was headed.
Once you know the result, it becomes much easier to work backwards from the process.
Even if he himself is not particularly good at thinking, he can still guess most of the meaning of such straightforward ideas.
With the Spider Sister's constant prayers, the human and the ghost ran towards their destination without saying a word.
The number of spider webs around them increased, and the spiders gradually became smaller, only the size of a bean, and had no venom.
After Spider Sister led Xia Yan through a tall, dense forest, the view suddenly opened up before them.
This is an open space with no signs of human development, surrounded by at most some low shrubs.
Without the shade of the trees, the bright moonlight shone down in thin strands.
In the center of the open space, on a round stone, sat a woman with a pretty face and a snow-white complexion, in a demure posture.
There was no other clothing under the short kimono, completely exposing a pair of fair and smooth long legs. Perhaps because she was not good at close combat, there was no muscle definition to be seen.
Her plump thighs were fleshy and would tremble slightly with the slightest movement, like a quivering cream pudding.
As if she understood her own charm, two decorative knots were wrapped around her slender ankles.
The dark knots stood out against the fair skin, drawing the eye to her delicate, adorable, pink, snow-white feet.
Because it lacked any color and showed no signs of roughness or wrinkles, the delicate jade foot looked more like a fine work of art.
Despite being a man-eating demon, it somehow evoked a sense of sacred beauty and brokenness under the moonlight.
