Dawn Spider

Chapter 52 Alsophila Mountain Ruins (V)
The battle teams have been divided.

All eyes once again fell on Gold and Silver who were standing above the head of the Western Serpent Lord.

We are going to war, but we can’t take the little soldiers with us, right?

Lord Famu shouted, "Gold, Silver, go to Lord Shanluo's head and stay on Wuchao Mountain."

gold:"……"

silver:"……"

Jin: "I guess there are also a large number of evil spirits attacking Wuchao Mountain?"

Yin: "If we stay, won't we cause trouble for Lord Shanlang?"

Jin: "The West Snake Lord is powerful. I will follow the West Snake Lord."

Just as Yin was about to speak, Jin pressed him down with his claw.

Jin suggested, "Let's share the risk. You go to Lord Famu. If danger strikes, protecting one little warrior is much easier than protecting two. Plus, even if something goes wrong, only one will die, not both."

After saying that, he released his claws.

silver:"……"

Jin urged, "Yin, go to Lord Famu, quickly."

silver:"……"

Jin suggested, "Lord Famu is the elder. If you follow him, you will gain benefits. Lord Xishe is not close to us. Following him is just for fun."

"Oh!"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Yin's eyes. After thinking about it, he jumped directly from the head of the Western Snake Lord and ran towards the Famu Lord.

Lord Famu: “…”

Western Snake Lord: "..."

Do you still want to reap the benefits? Lord Famu angrily shouted: "I will settle the score with you when we get back! Before you become a high-level warrior, you two will never leave Sikui Mountain again."

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave." The Western Snake Lord waved his claws indifferently and roared:

"Alright! Let's arrange it this way. Famu, don't tell me you can't even protect a small warrior."

The Western Snake Lord turned around and glanced at the team standing behind him, then turned sideways to look at the Comb-horned Beetle tribe warriors led by Lord Ziwu, and cast an inquiring look at them.

Lord Ziwu said, "Lord Xishe, you will start directly from Wuchao Peak and clear out the enemy to the north."

"Lord Famu led the team and set out from Muhe Mountain."

"Lord Yun Mushroom is leading the team, setting off from Eagle Claw Mountain."

Lord Shanluo said, "Don't go too deep for now, don't get close to the energy field area, return before dark, sort out your gains, and exchange information."

"understood."

"Understood!"

"let's go."

"Go! Go! Go!"

"..."

Five mountain master-level warriors formed a combat team, elected a captain and a deputy captain, and adopted a formation of three in front and two in the back.

The three soldiers at the front focused on the battle. The captain and vice-captain walked behind, responsible for command, vigilance, communication with other teams, coordination, and combat support.

Following the Western Snake Lord were 11 combat teams, 5 on the left and 6 on the right, lined up in a row, keeping a distance of 1 kilometer between each other, maintaining mental contact at all times and transmitting information to each other.

The Western Serpent Lord acted alone, the fire energy in his body surged and flowed to the eight spider legs, and eight lifelike fire snakes sprang out from the tarsus.

Four are red and four are black.

With the continuous infusion of primordial energy, the fire snake expanded and turned into a ferocious giant python more than ten meters long.

The giant pythons swam and leaped, one black and one red, forming a fighting combination, two in front, two behind, and two on each side.

Get into formation.

The Western Serpent Lord shook his spirit and gave the order: "Move out!"

...

...

The giant red python crawling on the left suddenly disappeared from sight silently. The next moment, flames shot up into the sky on the hill in front of the left, and a blazing super-giant fire snake swept and raged.

The sound of the fire ability exploding came a little later, followed by a heat wave.

The Western Snake Lord walked towards the mountain as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden. As he got closer, with a thought, a giant black python in front of him flew away and disappeared.

The next moment, the blazing fire dimmed and the mountains and forests were shrouded in darkness again.

When the Western Snake Lord approached with Jin, the entire mountain had already turned into scorched earth.

Jin's heart was secretly shocked and excited.

Natural God Clan! Divine Bloodline!
The horror of their combat power is simply unimaginable.

"This Western Snake Lord seems to be much more powerful than the average Lord-level Flame Spider Warrior."

Jin speculated silently.

The Western Snake Lord pulled out four extremely thin spider silks from his abdomen, each about four meters long, and manipulated them to spin and cut.

Up and down the mountain, charred wooden stakes were cut open and wooden beads were accurately found and dug out.

Seeing this, Jin activated his mental power, controlling a large spider silk bag on the back armor of the Western Snake Lord to fly up and open the bag.

The wooden beads fell into the bag one by one.

26 stars!
“Good harvest!”

The Western Serpent Lord was very satisfied and said, "These wood-type evil spirits that parasitize plants instinctively like to gather in groups. This makes dealing with them much easier."

"Little guy, just help me carry the bags, and I'll give you a share later."

Such a powerful Lord-level Flame Spider Warrior needs a spider to help carry a bag? The other party is obviously teasing the little spider...

"Okay!" Jin Zhengjing replied, then asked doubtfully, "Lord West Snake, what exactly do these evil spirits of parasitic plants look like? How are they different from ordinary plants?"

A 7th-year-old primary Flame Spider Warrior has a mental limit detection distance of only 20 meters.

The battles all broke out a kilometer away, in the jungle with extremely lush vegetation. The vision was obstructed and the situation could not be seen clearly. When we got closer and could see clearly, everything was already burnt.

"differ greatly."

The Western Serpent Lord packed up and set off, describing in detail, "Plant spirits parasitized and mutated by wood spirits are no longer purely plant. They possess the ability to move. Their roots have become 'legs', allowing them to crawl and walk. They can also take root in the soil to absorb nutrients and absorb energy through sunlight."

"Also, high-level wood spirits all possess one or two wood-related abilities, but they are very weak and vulnerable..."

Return to the planned route in a zigzag pattern, move forward in a straight line, and maintain formation with other combat teams.

Less than a thousand meters away, they found the second group of plant spirits, as many as 87 in number.

The Western Snake Lord released two giant red pythons to solve the problem.

After spending some time cleaning up the battlefield, we continued forward.

Other combat teams traveling with them were also constantly encountering battles.

The team stopped and started, moving forward slowly.

...

The sky is brightening.

The morning when the sun rises.

At noon when the sun is scorching.

The sunset at dusk...

In one day, we filled two large pockets with over 2700 wooden beads.

The Lord of the Western Snake gave the order that the troops should gather in a straight line and return to Wuchao Mountain.

Organize the harvest and communicate with other teams.

No important news.

Eat and rest.

At midnight, the team set out again.

...

With yesterday's experience and running-in, the team's efficiency has been significantly improved.

At the end of the day, the Western Snake Lord harvested 3100 wooden beads, and the other combat teams had similar harvests.

Plant-based evil spirits can move, but they don’t like to move.

The team moved forward steadily, advancing towards the energy field. The density of the evil spirits gradually increased, the level of original energy also increased, and mountain master-level evil spirits began to appear.

"Wood spirits and fog spirits are the same kind of thing. Once they complete parasitism and transform into malevolent spirits, they should be at the primary or intermediate level. They absorb the power of nature and slowly improve."

"If it is in an energy field, the evil spirit will absorb the power of the energy field and its evolution level will rise rapidly."

"These mountain master-level evil spirits escaped from the energy field."

The Western Serpent Lord explained, handing a turquoise wooden bead to Jin, saying, "Wooden beads produced by mountain master-level evil spirits are of higher quality and higher value. They can be sold for 100 raw stones."

"Oh……"

Jin took it and examined it, then asked in confusion, "Why did you run out of the energy field?"

The Western Snake Lord said, "Mountain Lord-level evil spirits, different types of parasites, can strengthen and increase their own strength by devouring the wooden beads of other evil spirits. Parasites of the same type can become stronger through fusion."

"In the central energy field, a large number of mountain master-level and lord-level evil spirits gathered, fighting, devouring, and merging with each other. The weaker evil spirits among them instinctively fled."

"understood."

Jin then asked, "What is a parasite of the same kind?"

The Western Serpent Lord explained in detail, "Wooden beads that are the same color or highly similar represent the same power type. Furthermore, if they parasitize the same plant or animal species, they become 'parasites of the same kind.' There's virtually no repulsion between them, so a stronger one can directly fuse with a weaker one, achieving a significant boost in a short period of time."

"..."

Jin was stunned, not knowing how to comment for a moment. After thinking for a long time, he asked worriedly, "Doesn't that mean that an extremely powerful evil spirit will be born within the energy field?"

"Definitely."

The Western Snake Lord didn't care at all and said, "The Insect King took a lot, so these troubles should be solved by the Insect King. We don't need to worry about it."

Jin asked, "Lord of the Western Snake, do you know how the Mist Spirit, Wood Spirit, and Disaster Energy Field are formed? Is this the advanced technology of alien civilizations?"

"Black technology?"

The Western Serpent Lord hesitated for a moment and said briefly, "Warriors of alien races with extremely high levels of evolution in their civilizations become immortal after death. They continuously gather natural forces, forming energy fields that give rise to wood spirits and fog spirits."

"!!!"

Jin was shocked when he heard this.

...

...

After eleven consecutive days,

The team advanced more than 50 kilometers and entered the area of ​​the Alsophila Mountain ruins. The density of the evil spirits decreased significantly, and a large number of mountain master-level plant-based evil spirits emerged. They had begun to devour or merge with each other, and their strength increased dramatically.

Mountain lord-level evil spirits have the ability to kill mountain lord-level warriors.

From time to time, a lord-level evil spirit would appear.

The clearing mission becomes dangerous.

For safety reasons, the Western Snake Lord reorganized his team, changing the 5-insect combat team into a 10-insect team, and shortening the distance between teams from the previous 1 kilometer to 500 meters.

Moving forward, the team slowly advanced, less than 30 kilometers away from the energy field where the accident occurred.

Two days later,

The West Serpent Lord, who was leading the team forward, suddenly and quietly expanded his spiritual power, doing his best to suppress the fluctuations, and issued an order: "There is something strange in the valley 5 kilometers ahead on the left. All teams stop advancing and gather around me!"
