Chapter 1102: New Type of Little Spider
The spider eggs inside the spider nest are incubated one by one and then hatch, releasing batch after batch to the outside. This method is simply the perfect choice for rapidly amassing troops.
"Why does it feel like there are more than one type of spider here?"
"Maybe it's because some Demon traits have been integrated." Xi Fei isn't very sure either.
Although she can cause her pets to transform, she essentially only transmits power, and her power inherently carries Hell attributes, which she cannot change.
After all, she is currently at the law level, not the essential Law level.
The inherent special attributes of Hell Power are manifesting right now.
"Perhaps it really is the case." Zhao Guang spoke. There's speculation that all Hell Demons are evolved from Abyss Worms, although it's uncertain if this is true.
However, it is certain that under Hell's Law, Abyss Worms indeed can evolve into all demon types.
Sometimes, new varieties even appear; as long as they achieve Hell's approval, they can establish stable evolution patterns.
This is why there are so many demon varieties in Hell. However, only a few stable types become mainstream and survive in large numbers.
This can be considered a special situation under cruel selection.
The first type of spider soon crawled out, these spiders are over two meters tall, larger than a person.
But in terms of power, they aren't very strong, seemingly only possessing intermediate combat strength and lacking any special abilities. Xi Fei began introducing them.
Apparently, this was explained to Xi Fei by the brood mother after understanding the situation, and then Xi Fei provided the explanations.
"This type of spider is a spider laborer, specialized in working. Their various abilities are not meant for combat; their main capabilities are using spider silk and some adhesives to construct nests or other structures, and they can also be used to gather resources."
"Not bad, is there a limit on their numbers?"
Xi Fei shook her head: "There is no limit on numbers; for combat troops, the total number can be controlled to around ten or twenty thousand, excluding these spider laborers. However, there are limits on control range and their lifespan isn't very long."
Indeed, there's no way there could be an unlimited situation.
If such a capability existed, these would have become mainstream long ago.
However, with intermediate combat strength even for laborers, those meant for combat must be even stronger.
With an army of tens of thousands, and since they originate from the same source, if they can form a Military Formation, they indeed can threaten Legendary Strongmen.
Zhao Guang knows that Military Formations were initially not invented by armies themselves. They were abilities possessed by certain group type Magic Beasts, which were then studied and developed into formations.
Previously, when dealing with the Black Nest Lord, Zhao Guang used sheer force to crush them, directly targeting the nest spiders physically.
Thus, Zhao Guang didn't see some prior situations and was uncertain about current circumstances.
As he watched, Zhao Guang suddenly noticed something unusual: the silk that the nest spiders previously sprayed was rapidly changing color, unlike the previous white, it was gradually turning black.
"The influence of Hellfire, later this color change will happen faster, eventually even becoming black upon creation."
Upon hearing Xi Fei's words, Zhao Guang nodded: "No matter, it's just color, and black is even more concealed."
This now aligns more with the image of the Black Nest Lord. Originally the body was black, now even the nest is black. This influence doesn't merely affect the nest spiders but also impacts those spider laborers.
The spider laborers now do nothing but assist the nest spiders in transporting food for consumption.
"If the nest spiders become too hungry, they might even consume the spider laborers as food to replenish their energy." Xi Fei spoke quietly while observing the busy spider laborers.
There's no choice; this is the survival Law of the nest spiders, and Xi Fei cannot directly interfere.
Just at this moment, other spiders began breaking out and crawling from the nest.
"This is the Black Flame Wolf Spider, currently the primary combat species among the nest spiders."
Zhao Guang observed the Black Flame Wolf Spider, which is smaller in size, only slightly taller than an actual wolf, with dense body fur, and most notably, red flames occasionally burning on it, a mutation of Hellfire.
The wolf spider's limbs are extremely sharp, with highly aggressive attacks, its large mouthparts resembling two sharp pincers.
It moves quickly, seemingly capable of creating afterimages. Its body fur can be shot out like thin needles for range attacks. The overall strength is very high, reaching advanced professional levels in combat power.
After some initial testing, Zhao Guang nodded, expressing it was impressive.
After all, these weren't trained, needing only some food to readily create.
Xi Fei pointed to the second spider species, saying: "This is the Spit Silk Demon Spider, its combat style is spider silk for specialized auxiliary use. The spider silk of the Spit Silk Demon Spider carries strong poison and paralysis toxin and can also ignite with Hellfire."
"However, using Hellfire consumes a lot, and the spider silk cannot be reused."
Hellfire attaching to spider silk is highly effective, but the result is burning the spider silk in a short time.
The original sustained attack mode turns into an explosive Spell.
Yet this skill against enemies can offer some binding effects, with powerful attack potency.
The Spit Silk Demon Spider showcased its special skills in front of Zhao Guang, releasing spider silk and spider webs of various shapes over long distances. However, they are all attack techniques and not suitable for construction.
For construction, the spider laborers are more competent, being professionally aligned.
The Spit Silk Demon Spider, carrying a large belly, doesn't differ much in size from the Black Flame Wolf Spider but is longer and moves very slowly. This is relative, among advanced professionals, it's relatively slow.
Indeed, for any primary battle spider species, when born, they all possess advanced professional strength.
However, Zhao Guang sensed that while these spiders may not be very strong in combat, they inherently possess some law aura. Meaning, as the numbers increase, they can impact Legendary Strongmen.
Against those beneath legend status, this power carrying some law aura can provide considerable augmentation.
