Amidst the envious and jealous gaze of Glow, Bai Pu accepted the side quest and headed off proudly.

He walked all the way out of the city, along the road he came, into the dark forest of Hanging Mountain.

"Come out... my servant!"

Bai Pu used Source Blood to summon his slave, the Demon Spider Lady. This was not a voice transmission from afar, but a perception stemming from the power of bloodline!

Soon, a rustling sound accompanied by the rhythmic "bang, bang" of objects hitting trees echoed, as the figure of the Demon Spider Lady leaped and flew through the woods towards him!

With a thud, the Demon Spider Lady landed not far in front of Bai Pu, her beautiful face showing a hint of reverence in her eyes.

However, Bai Pu quickly drew out his sharp Long Saber, ready for battle, and shouted sternly: "Demon! You dare come again, wasn't the lesson from last time enough for you?"

Demon Spider Lady: "???"

Bai Pu's voice was steady and cold: "Last time I was alone, letting you escape heavily injured. This time I have companions behind me! You are doomed!"

The Demon Spider Lady finally understood Bai Pu's meaning, she raised her head and suddenly darted up a tall tree.

Swoosh, the Demon Spider Lady had already leaped to a position about a hundred meters behind Bai Pu. Her charming eyes suddenly turned blood red, and with a shriek, she shot demonized spider silk towards a spot!

The spot initially had only bushes, but with the shooting of demonized spider silk, a long and slender figure abruptly rolled out!

The Demon Spider Lady missed the shot but did not attack again; instead, she hopped around the trees within the area! After several rounds, she finally stopped and tilted her head towards Bai Pu.

Meaning, there were no other "trackers" around.

The slender figure was obviously an Awakened.

Bai Pu used [Nine Chapters] to explore, consuming 3 points of Spiritual Power, to learn the target's information.

[Name: ??? (Ordinary Level 3)]

[Species: Humanoid Species/Human Race]

[Profession: Shadow Scout]

[Attributes: Power 10, Agility 19, Endurance 11, Spirit 6]

[Skills 1-3: Shadow Stealth (Profession), ???]

This Shadow Scout was confused about the relationship between the Demon Spider Lady and Bai Pu, mistakenly thinking she was attacking Bai Pu.

He immediately activated his Acceleration Skill and turned to run, indicating he had nothing to do with Bai Pu, nor was he Bai Pu's companion!

However, in the forest, he was no faster than the Demon Spider Lady.

Bang!

The Demon Spider Lady shot her spider silk, swept over the Shadow Scout's head, and her sharp spider legs slashed down!

The Shadow Scout raised his Short Sword to block, but the Demon Spider Lady was much faster; her spider claw accurately knocked away his sword and pierced his chest.

Advanced Level 4 Combat Specialization, combined with the Level 4 Effect "Piercing Fist" acceleration, overwhelming a Low-level Awakened!

Of course, it was also because the Demon Spider Lady was an Elite Template, suppressing the Shadow Scout in all attributes.

When the Demon Spider Lady pulled out her spider claw, sharp metallic hooks glinted as they caught a large piece of flesh, dripping with blood!

The Shadow Scout cried out in great pain, rolling outwards. The Demon Spider Lady followed closely, her two spider claws "thump, thump" nailing him to a large tree!

Seeing the terrifying, menacing mouthparts of the Demon Spider Lady approaching, the Shadow Scout was both terrified and called out to Bai Pu: "If you don't help me, this demon will be next to kill you!"

"Ordinary profession Awakened, facing the same-level Elite Demon, turns out to be so powerless."

Bai Pu muttered, walking over, "Of course, as a Shadow Scout, combat power is your weak point, with your advantage being stealth. This is also why they sent you to track me."

The Shadow Scout saw the Demon Spider Lady wasn't guarding against Bai Pu and realized: "You... this demon is your accomplice! You've already joined the Demon Camp! Did you already notice me?"

Bai Pu shook his head slightly. His initial pretended performance wasn't because he had discovered the Shadow Scout.

After all, Bai Pu's Mental Scan range is very small, hiding at a hundred meters away was beyond Bai Pu's perception.

Bai Pu simply reasoned by common sense that there was a high chance someone was tailing him, and it was sent by the Superstar Alliance!

So after he summoned the Demon Spider Lady, he first hinted at her to investigate the surroundings for trackers.

The Demon Spider Lady's method of perceiving prey is quite special, through vibration perception.

After her Main Skills: Demonized Spider Silk was upgraded to Level 4, besides the hardened spider silk used for combat, she could secrete invisible, fine spider silk, spreading out with the wind.

Just now, the Demon Spider Lady circled around Bai Pu within a hundred meters, actually secreting sensory spider silk, weaving an invisible large net around!

All movements within this net are within the Demon Spider Lady's perception.

The Shadow Scout thought hiding in shadows without movement would avoid detection, but was truly naive.

Within the Demon Spider Lady's weaving perception, his breathing, heartbeat, and even pulse had deeply betrayed him!

Not just him, even if Dongbo Cheng came, he would definitely be detected by the Demon Spider Lady.

"Don't, don't kill me..." The Shadow Scout felt the Demon Spider Lady's mouthparts slowly inserting into his body, the wound felt no pain, instead, there was a lazy illusion, terrifying him greatly.

He knew the Demon Spider Lady was injecting digestive enzymes, turning him into a juicy soup dumpling, to be consumed thoroughly!

Bai Pu slightly raised his hand, and the Demon Spider Lady instantly stopped her actions. But looking at her blood-red eyes, she was clearly reluctant to stop.

The Shadow Scout felt a surge of survival desire! He didn't expect Bai Pu could restrain a bloodthirsty demon.

"It seems your status in the Demon Camp is higher than I thought." The Shadow Scout sighed, "You are too powerful. I'll pay to buy my life, I beg you to spare me…"

"What's your name?" Bai Pu asked.

"I... I'm just a nobody, I gave myself the codename 'Phantom.'"

"Alright, Phantom... what price are you willing to pay, to buy your life?" Bai Pu asked. Meanwhile, the Demon Spider Lady was monitoring Phantom's breathing and heartbeat; if he dared lie, Bai Pu would certainly notice.

"I've saved over three thousand four hundred Spiritual Points; I'll give them all to you."

Phantom was intimidated by the terrifying mouthparts of the Demon Spider Lady, not daring any tricky thoughts.

"What about the Black Tortoise Oath Curse Seal?" Bai Pu asked.

"I don't have a Curse Seal. My main line task isn't this." Phantom hurriedly displayed his main line task.

[Main Line Task: Messaging]

[Task Objective: Deliver Beiming Chuan's letter to Basalt, to Beiming Jihu]

[Task Difficulty: B]

[Task Deadline: 10 days.]

[Completion Reward: 1-4 fine silver ingots]

[Failure Penalty: Exile.]

After seeing this, Bai Pu was speechless. It turned out Phantom's main line task was to run errands, delivering a letter from the Beiming Dojo to Basalt.

Basalt, also known as Basalt (Zhai), located north of Wangbei City, is the Beiming Clan's headquarters, and the main dojo of Beiming Xuan Mirror Style.

"Give me the letter." Bai Pu held out his hand.

Phantom mournfully said: "If you read the letter, my main line task will fail, leading to exile."

"You can use a forced departure item."

Bai Pu said indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a forced departure item on you, but it's not the kind with instant effect, requiring 10 seconds of preparation, even with restrictions that native observers can't notice."

Phantom widened his eyes at Bai Pu, as if saying "how do you know."

Eventually, he accepted his fate, enduring the shoulder pain, laboriously reaching for an envelope from his chest, and handed it to Bai Pu.
