Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 79 Return to the Star Forest

Now that the matter in Baishui City was settled, Fang Chang did not delay any longer and hurried back to the Xingdou Great Forest under the cover of night. In this world, that was his only home.

When Fang Chang set foot on this land again, he was filled with mixed emotions. When he first came here, he was just a three thousand year old human-faced demon spider. He suffered all kinds of bullying and survived by struggling to survive.

But now, with his soul power of nearly 40,000 years, plus several evolutions, he is confident even against some soul beasts of 50,000 to 60,000 years or even stronger.

As long as he doesn't encounter special monsters like Da Ming and Er Ming, or the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he will probably have few opponents in this Star Dou Great Forest.

Fang Chang just wandered aimlessly in the Star Dou Great Forest. When he met a camp of human soul masters on the way, he did not hide, but went straight past them relying on his "stealth" ability.

The human soul master only felt that the firelight seemed to dim for a moment, but when he looked over, he could not see anything and thought that his eyes were blurry.

Evolution conditions: Soul power reaches more than 2723 years (not achieved), consumes 10000 evolution points (not achieved), and devours soul beasts / in total (not achieved)

Fang Chang glanced at his evolutionary circuit panel. The evolutionary conditions for the Controlling Evil Spider were still far from perfect, especially the one for devouring 10,000 soul beasts...

Even though he had eaten a lot of pink ladies and swallowed so many slimes in the Sunset Forest before, he still only fulfilled one-fifth of the requirements of this condition.

Alas, thinking of this, Fang Chang sighed again. He once wanted to change his evolutionary route, but when he thought that this Dominating Demon Spider might be of great help to him in building a large underground nest in Xingdou, he held back.

But where can he find thousands of soul beasts? If he continues to devour them slowly like this, he might not be able to complete the requirement in a few years, right?
As he was thinking, he had arrived at one of the entrances of his former lair.

Fang Chang took a look at the familiar environment nearby, activated the "stretching and retracting" skill, shrunk his body to a size that could just fit into the cave entrance, and slowly walked inside.

No matter whether it is a human or a soul beast, after wandering outside for a long time, they will always miss home.

Huh? As soon as he entered one of the rooms in the lair, Fang found something was wrong.

There were several drag marks of varying depths on the ground, as if something dragging a heavy object had just passed by here not long ago.

Moreover, the direction of these drag marks was leading to the largest room in the center, which made Fang Chang feel even more uneasy.

Could it be that during the months he was away, some blind guy had the guts to come and occupy his lair?

The more Fang Chang thought about it, the angrier he became. He quickened his pace and rushed towards the central room. Soon he arrived outside the room and indeed, there were quite a few outsiders inside.

They are none other than Fang Chang’s “old friends”, the fire ants. It is just unknown whether they are the fire ants that escaped from the original nest and produced a new queen, or whether they are foreign fire ants that occupied this nest.

What made him most angry was that in the center of the hall, on the stone tablet with the Chinese characters "Xingdou Underground Nest" engraved on it, there was a fire ant queen perched there.

Species: Fire Ant Queen
Soul Power: 450

HP: 120/120
Strength: 40
Attack:43
Defense:29
Speed: 45
The strength of this fire ant queen is obviously much weaker than the previous one, and in terms of population numbers, they are far less than the previous group of fire ants.

While Fang Chang was staring at them, the fire ant queen also discovered him. At her command, hundreds of fire ants around him surrounded him, targeting Fang Chang.

Facing them, Fang Chang was both angry and amused. He took a deep breath and directly used the "poisonous mist breath" skill.

Black mist gushed out of his mouth, filling the entire room like a torrent in an instant.

Except for the fire ant queen standing on a high place who was not affected, the other pawns fell to the ground one after another as soon as they came into contact with Fang Chang's poisonous fog.

At this time, Fang Chang was like a god of death reaping lives. He walked fearlessly into the poisonous fog and swallowed up the hundreds of fire ants lying on the ground one by one.

The fire ant queen on the stone tablet was so anxious that she was running around, watching her subordinates being swallowed by the spider one by one, but she was helpless.

It wanted to come down and fight Fang Chang to the death, but when it saw the black fog surrounding it and the terrifying aura emanating from Fang Chang, it finally held back.

After Fang Chang finished eating these fire ant pawns, the black fog was almost gone. He stared at the fire ant queen high up with amusement, thinking about how to punish her.

It seems too cheap to eat it directly...

As Fang Chang was thinking, he noticed the row of white fire ant eggs under the stone tablet, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Ants are one of the most reproductive creatures in the world. A queen ant can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs a day.

As a soul beast, the Fire Ant Queen is much larger in size, so its egg-laying efficiency cannot be as fast as that of ordinary ants. However, if there is sufficient nutrition, it can lay dozens of ant eggs a day.

Fang Chang stared at the fire ant queen on the stone tablet, and his smile gradually became distorted.

If he could catch a few more fire ant queens and put them in the nest to let them reproduce, then wouldn't his evolutionary goal of devouring ten thousand soul beasts be within reach?

And even if they complete their evolution in the future, the eggs laid by these fire ant queens can be used to supply food supplements to other spiders in the nest.

It is nutritious, high in protein, and in constant and sufficient supply, it is simply perfect!
The fire ant queen on the stone tablet felt cold all over when she saw Fang Chang at this moment. She wanted to escape but was controlled by Fang Chang with a "poison net".

Then Fang Chang dragged it, along with the ants and the net, into a storage room, threw it on the ground, and then loosened the poisonous net and let it out.

"Do you want to live?" Fang Chang threatened it through voice transmission.

But how could a four-hundred-year-old fire ant queen have any intelligence? She didn't understand Fang Chang's words at all and just stood there stupidly.

Uh... Fang Chang didn't know how to explain it to it for a moment. He ran out of the storage room, took out an ant egg from under the stone tablet, threw it behind the fire ant's butt, pointed at the ant egg and sent a message again, "Give birth to me!"

The fire ant queen looked at Fang Chang, then at the ant egg, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she bit the ant egg in one bite.

Fang Chang, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded. Ah, this... it seemed like it had misunderstood what he meant again.

Fang Chang slapped the fire ant queen's head away, grabbed the ant egg, and nervously used his hind legs to move the ant egg behind his butt, demonstrating the action of an ant egg falling out from there.

This time, the fire ant queen finally understood what Fang Chang meant. Its abdomen, which was disproportionate to its body, moved and twitched slightly, and an ant egg as big as a child's head was born from it.

Huh, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the newly laid ant egg that was still steaming and stained with black blood, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it into pieces with a "crunch".

Then he repeated the same action once more, teaching the fire ant queen to continue laying eggs.

After repeating this several times, the fire ant queen finally understood what Fang Chang meant. If she wanted to survive, she had to keep laying eggs.

Then let the big spider in front of you eat it...
