A small beast that can burrow into stone and remain undetectable by spiritual sense, making it an ideal spy tool; its only significant talent is concealment.
Story context
The power play tightens. Han Li’s Blood Jade Spider is forced into a berserk state by Man Brutal Beard to pull the legendary Void Heaven Cauldron, but just as victory seems within reach, the righteous-path cultivators return—led by Wan Tianming, who reveals he planted a fossil beast to spy on them all along. The chapter ends with a brutal ultimatum: share the treasure or watch the spider die. Han Li, once again, is a bargaining chip between gods.
Why it matters
Get ready for a classic stalemate in the Dark Forest. Han Li is once again the invisible pawn everyone talks around but never to. His spider is the key asset, yet his opinion is irrelevant. Watch how he stores every slight—the silent resentment behind his calm mask is the only weapon he has right now. The faint blue glow on the spider silk may be a crucial detail; in the Mortal Stream, nothing is coincidence. Also, keep an eye on Xuan Gu’s hesitation—his calculated sideline posture suggests he is waiting for a specific moment to strike.
