Chapter 632: Cleaner

Sage took the core of the Poisonfeather Bird out of Duo Tans tomb. Then, with the source removed, he started the long process of absorbing the remaining miasma. With a poison core already formed, he used the faster route and sent it directly to the Inner World, increasing the intensity in that poisonous valley where the Soul Clone built a Sect. Capturing this ephemeral soul poison didnt use much Qi, but there was so much of it that it was going to take him a long time to clear such a huge area.

A few days later, he was walking through the poison miasma, capturing more Seething Purple Cobras and sucking the miasma into a hole in space. The poisonous energy swirled and spun, being drawn towards his hand and then disappearing as it was sent to his Inner World. At that moment, he suddenly heard some slurping noises followed by a voice.

My precious, my precious. This is all for you.

There was a soft scraping sound, echoing up through a crevice on the warm ice.

Ker thunk.

There was a splash and a plopping noise, like something heavy sinking into a thick liquid. Sage was surprised to hear someone talking and he leapt into the crevasse. A silk line was tossed from his waist to catch the ground before he leaped into the air and he dove into the giant crack like an experienced base jumper. There were gurgling noises, like a hungry tummy, and he followed the sounds bouncing off the walls to narrow down his search. He slowed the rate the silk was released and the line caught, swinging him towards the wall. His feet hit the wall and he ran down it, a rappelling technique that normal people would never dare to use, but he had a lifetime of experience as a spider and he just had to adapt to using less legs. Anytime he started to lose his balance he just had to kick or slap at the air. By using Cosmic Traction, the space itself would harden and he could use it to correct his trajectory.

Many black beady eyes pointed in his direction. The eight legged monster climbed up onto the rim of the Cauldron Plant. It was a giant spider with a carapace the same color as the warm ice around them. It balanced on the lip of the Cauldron Plant on its four back legs, while the four front ones were lifted into the air. It held them up and to either side in pairs, like it had two huge arms. Sage smiled.

Greetings, Cousin.

The ten foot tall Crab Spider rocked backwards, surprised that it could understand this human in front of him. That was to say, Sage was using the language of spiders and not humans. The Crab Spider only knew a few words of the human tongue, but this human could speak spider? It tilted to the left and right, waving its arms up and down.

Sage didnt leave it guessing, he released some of the Human Seal and a set of four spider limbs sprouted from his back. Since he was still mostly sealed, the limbs were of a similar size to his human body, just like all the other features he could call upon from partially undoing his seal. The limbs touched the ground and lifted him into the air, I am not a normal human. Dont worry, Im not here to hurt you. I just heard you talking. Who is precious?

The spider tilted down, and Sage could swear he saw a little blush show up on the bit of carapace under its eyes. Then it rubbed the Cauldron Plant it was standing on, This is my precious. She is the most beautiful and wonderful thing in all of creation.

The plant? Then Sage thought about the Cauldon Plant. Just like the Pitcher Plant, it was commonly symbiotic with a Crab Spider. The plant was carnivorous and it lured creatures into its mouth, then they were trapped and fell into the digestive juices that it kept inside. The Crab Spider would catch creatures and after draining their fluids, drop the remaining carcass into the Pitcher Plants mouth. In return it could hide inside the plant for protection without being harmed.

So, this symbiotic partnership has turned into an obsession? Demonic Plants and Beasts do gain intelligence over time. People have done stranger things. I wonder what the term would be for a spider having a plant fetish.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
