Bald Monk in the City - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Gate Of Life Open!!

…

…

The Giant Spider used its cold eyes to sweep around. Although Yi Qiu knew that a spider’s field of sight wasn’t reliable, he had no idea if this Giant Spider had such characteristics.

The Giant Spider started to climb about the ruins, its sharp legs and dense hair allowed its movement to be totally silent.

The Giant Spider climbed a high building, opened its mouth, and its clamp-like teeth roared. However, Yi Qiu didn’t hear a sound.

Suddenly, its eight eyes all looked over at Yi Qiu!

Instantly, Yi Qiu felt like the Giant Spider had locked onto him, and he felt a chill down his spine.

“Peng!”

The Giant Spider jumped off the building remnants!

It quickly drew close to Yi Qiu!

“Hu.”

Looking at the Giant Spider that had gotten close, Yi Qiu knew that he had to risk his life. Whether he lived or died depended on what he did now.

Yi Qiu closed his eyes and stopped looking at the Giant Spider. He focused on activating the Ki in his body…

When the Gate of Opening was opened, the Ki flow was evidently much faster. Yi Qiu started to move the Ki toward the Gate of Healing on the right of his head.

Eight Gates, Gate of Healing open!

An even more intense power surged from within his body. Yi Qiu had opened the Gate of Healing once when he faced the Elite difficulty Sadistic Dog-Head Man. That time, he died right away…

This time, he opened it while having 16 points of physique, making it much simpler.

However, the pain was still really intense…

“Si…”

The muscles on Yi Qiu’s face twitched but he had to open it. 17 Strength might not have been enough, but Yi Qiu had only one chance to attack.

The Ki in Yi Qiu’s body swept everywhere. This power that had a mind of its own seemed gentle, but when it went berserk, it was like a raging wave that swallowed up the ground!

Gate of Life was at the chest, it was one of the gates that was closest to the Gate of Death, it was the final safe region of the Eight Gates…

It connected the brain and the body, connecting Life and Death…

Eight Gates…

Life… Gate…

….

Open! ! !

“Hong!”

Green veins appeared on Yi Qiu’s face!

He opened his eyes!

After a pained roar, an intense energy current exploded out, with him at the center!

The dust and stone around rose up in the air and formed a thick smoke cloud!

A pale green light appeared on Yi Qiu’s body. It was so strong that Yi Qiu’s muscles started to twitch and his whole body was filled with power!

At this moment, his Strength and Agility both reached 18 points!

He was just 2 points away from the max of normal living beings, he had 25 times more power than normal people!

“Ah…”

But at the same time, a flood-like pain swallowed him up!

Yi Qiu’s body twitched and he was even unable to even do simple movements like moving his fingers!

“Hong!”

The Giant Spider that drew close had sped through the dust storm, pouncing toward Yi Qiu like he was its prey.

“Peng!”

The leg of the Giant Spider stuck onto Yi Qiu’s shoulder!

It was like two giant nails pinning him to the ground!

Even in the intense pain, Yi Qiu could sense the cold and deathly stare of the Giant Spider!

The Giant Spider pressed its head close to Yi Qiu, and its eight jewel-like eyes stared at Yi Qiu’s struggling body.

It opened its two clamps and then stretched out its leg to inject poison, stabbing right into the Yi Qiu’s head!

“Dang!”

“Si…”

It was like metal striking into metal.

The Giant Spider swung Yi Qiu away, and the relatively weaker claw smacked into Yi Qiu’s firm head. The sensitive nerves on its claws experienced an intense pain!

The Giant Spider’s sweep let Yi Qiu struggle out from all the intense pain, but his chest and leg injuries caused him to lose mobility caused, leaving him with no chance to strike at all.

He could only calm down while in pain. He was waiting, waiting for a chance to deal a lethal strike!

The Giant Spider gave out a “Si Si” sound. It seemed like the pain was quite unbearable. As the overlord of the ruins, the Giant Spider hadn’t suffered such pain in such a long time.

Large amounts of Brown Fur Wolfman were chased into the abandoned ruins by humans. To the strong but slow Brown Fur Wolfman, the Giant Spider was able to hunt them easily.

The Spider’s digestive ability wasn’t strong which was why it needed to turn its prey into liquid form to absorb it.

The Giant Spider inherited the digestive ability of spiders, but its digestive poison didn’t strengthen because of that. To melt an entire Brown Fur Wolfman into liquid would require a long time.

During that period of time, the Giant Spider wouldn’t be able to leave as it had no ability to make webs. It couldn’t ensure that the prey wouldn’t run or get stolen by other living beings.

Thus, even after it finished eating a Brown Fur Wolfman, it would still need to hunt.

When the prey was melting from the poison, the Giant Spider would almost be totally starved.

Apart from hunting, the Giant Spider would mostly be hiding under the ruins. Thus, the Giant Spider had digging ability.

In a region ruled by strong and big living beings, the Giant Spider mostly hid underground and hunted unlucky prey.

Of course, the Giant Spider didn’t need to use such a method in the ruins. It just needed to pounce to grab some Brown Fur Wolfman. It waved its limbs to chase away the other Wolfmen that tried to assist and whose brains were messed up by magic.

“Si si…”

The Giant Spider waved its limbs and after cutting down a building it calmed down. After roaring, it swiftly noticed Yi Qiu.

It pounced like a black shadow…

“Pu!”

The Giant Spider’s leg pinned into Yi Qiu’s chest, nearly piercing his heart.

But this pain didn’t even make Yi Qiu frown as his senses were already numb from the intense pain…

The Giant Spider got close to Yi Qiu. He could smell the decomposing smell emanating from the body of the Giant Spider…

Its eight eyes were just a few millimeters away from him. Yi Qiu could clearly see his own image, like those eight eyes were like mirrors.

The Giant Spider stretched out its pincers once more, but instead of sticking them into Yi Qiu’s head, it went around Yi Qiu’s body…

From head to face…

From face to neck…

Yi Qiu could sense that wet feeling, a sweet but lethal aura…

Finally, when it passed the neck and chest, it sensed some soft flesh.

The Giant Spider’s pincer stuck right in!
