Chapter 317 Dreamweaver Spider

The Dream Weaver Spider is a supernatural creature native to the Dragon's Back Mountains. It usually moves around in the Dragon's Back Mountains in family units. It is born with the ability to weave illusions, and this ability becomes stronger as its level increases.

However, despite having the ability to cast illusions, the Dream Weaver Spider is relatively small in size. It is the smallest cave spider among all the local spiders in the Dragon's Back Mountains, without a doubt.

Moreover, not only is it small in size, but its resistance to physical damage is also very low. When facing physical attacks, its defense is even worse than that of an ordinary cave spider.

Therefore, dream weavers usually lurk in other cave spider colonies, relying on their ability to weave illusions to influence or even manipulate a cave spider colony to work for them.

According to the information provided by Roland, the Dream Weaver Spider is still very dangerous in the Dragon Ridge Mountains. It is difficult for a transcendent of the same level to resist the Dream Weaver Spider's illusions if he does not prepare in advance.

Of course, Roland also attaches great importance to the Dream Weaver Spider. Apart from the fact that they can cast dangerous illusions, the Dream Weaver Spider is the most worthy spider to be kept in captivity among all the cave spiders.

The silk spun by the dream-weaving spider is the main material for weaving a special silk: dream silk.

Although the silk spit out by other cave spiders can also be woven into other silks, the quality of the silk woven from these ordinary spider silks is far inferior to that of dream silk.

Moreover, compared to other cave spiders, the Weaver Spider is smaller in size, so more can be raised in the same area. Apart from its illusion ability, its body is also very fragile, making it easier to keep it in captivity.

Therefore, Roland also asked the explorers to capture a few dream weaver spiders alive when they were discovered, and try to keep them in captivity.

"Sigh~"

Mino pulled the trigger, and the sharp arrow pierced the head of the cave spider in front of him, killing it completely.

Mino frowned as he looked at the cave spiders that were swarming around him, stepping on the corpses of other spiders and rushing over like crazy.

There are too many cave spiders.

Just as Mino and his companions retreated not far, countless crazy cave spiders jumped out from all directions, one after another, and attacked them frantically and desperately.

After receiving the information from his superiors, Mino naturally realized the seriousness of the problem.

These cave spiders are probably controlled by the Weaver. They have no fear at all and each of them is determined to fight to the death, so the possibility of killing them is very low.

Although they are all ordinary cave spiders and are not powerful opponents for the explorers, they are not a special supply transport team and have limited supplies on them. If they continue to consume, the limited supplies will be used up sooner or later.

Mino took a look at the remaining arrows in the quiver, put away his crossbow, drew his dagger, and rushed to the front line to fight.

Although as a goblin, his physical fitness is not high, but he is also a three-ring artificer after all. No matter how poor his physical fitness is, it is still better than that of an ordinary cave spider.

Moreover, as a goblin who has received compulsory military training, although Mino is an artificer, he has also mastered some skills and techniques in close combat.

After Mino's artificer had gone up, the other explorers looked at each other, put down their crossbows, and rushed forward with their weapons.

Although the physical fitness of goblins and halflings is not very good and they are not suitable to be the front row, the dwarves in the team are different. Their physical fitness is higher than that of ordinary humans and they are natural warriors.

The dwarves act as the front row, the goblins and halflings play support in the back, and several first- and second-ring transcendents are responsible for breakthroughs.

After making the change, the party quickly cut through the cave spiders that stood in their way.

Relying on their size advantage, they can quickly move through the cracks between the cave spider corpses.

Therefore, although the cave spiders continued to swarm one after another, the team led by Mino was still able to evacuate quickly.

"Ding!!!"

Just as the team was moving quickly, a speaker sounded from the device on Mino's waist.

A gentle mental storm quickly erupted from it and swept through everyone in the team.

Mino's eyes flashed slightly. In the gap that was originally formed by the corpses of several spiders, a cave spider opened its mouth wide, waiting for them to fall into its trap.

He didn't stop, but kicked off with his right foot and rushed forward.

Shadow raid.

Mino turned into a shadow and passed directly through the head of the cave spider in front of him. Then, he appeared on the back of the cave spider.

Behind him, the cave spider's head exploded, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that burst out in all directions.

Mino didn't pay attention to the situation behind him, but raised his head and looked at a cave spider resting on the wall on the right side of the passage.

On the head of this cave spider, a petite dream weaver spider is lying on its head.

After seeing it, Mino did not hesitate at all. He immediately picked up the crossbow with his left hand, pointed it at its position, raised his hand and started shooting continuously.

Several arrows were shot quickly.

When Mino attacked, the originally lazy Dream Weaver Spider also sensed the danger. It looked up and saw the arrows coming towards it.

Then, several cave spiders on the ground jumped up and blocked the arrows.

But it was useless. These cave spiders that sacrificed themselves voluntarily were like brittle paper and were pierced by arrows in an instant.

Seeing this situation, the Dream Weaver Spider finally panicked. It quickly commanded the cave spiders under its feet to move, trying to avoid the attack.

However, it was too late.

The cave spider under his feet had just moved a few times when several arrows flew in front of it.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, the shell of the Dream Weaver Spider was torn apart by the arrow and was nailed directly to the stone wall.

"hiss!!!"

At the last moment before death, an extremely sharp mental shock resounded throughout the entire passage.

For Mino, this sound was nothing, but ordinary explorers frowned and their hands slowed down after being impacted.

Fortunately, other cave spiders were also affected. As ordinary creatures, they were even more affected, especially the cave spiders close to the Dream Weaver Spider, including the cave spider mounts that survived the arrow attack. Their heads exploded instantly under this mental shock.

After the death of the Dreamweaver Spider, the cave spiders in the area also regained consciousness.

Looking at the countless corpses of cave spiders in front of them, they all let out cries of fear.

The local cave spiders that had been cleared by Mino before turned around and ran away without hesitation after seeing the familiar scene in front of them. However, the cave spiders brought by the Dream Weaver Spiders were a little hesitant, looked at each other, and then, they who did not belong to the same spider tribe began to fight each other.

While the out-of-control cave spiders were fighting each other, Mino and his group seized the opportunity and quickly escaped from the bloody battlefield.

After running to the battlefield, Mino and his team had a smooth journey and returned to Camp No. 4 smoothly.

After returning to Camp No. 4, Mino immediately built a defense line with Camp No. 4 as the center.

Mino didn't believe that the dream-weaving spider he killed was the mastermind behind the fall of Camp No. 5.

Calvin, who is also a three-ring machinist, can be in charge of Camp No. 5. It is impossible for him to hide his illusion ability from everyone in Camp No. 5.

Moreover, according to the information provided by the Executive Committee, dream weaver spiders live in family units. It is very likely that he killed only the weakest individual in this dream weaver spider family. The big one is probably not here yet.

Looking at the undead who were busy working, Mino narrowed his eyes slightly.

The support from the committee members will arrive soon, and then it will be their turn to strengthen the Dream Weaver Spider.

They are just some wild supernatural creatures. As long as the War Committee sends some legion soldiers and military supernatural beings, they can be killed in minutes.

Just as Mino and his team were building a defense line in Camp No. 4, a group of cave spiders came running in from the depths of Camp No. 5 on the battlefield filled with countless spider corpses.

On top of a white cave spider's head, a relatively larger dream weaver spider glanced at the bloody battlefield without much concern.

However, after sensing the last mental shock of the previous Dream Weaver Spider before its death from the corpses of these spiders, this larger Dream Weaver Spider became a little irritable.

He controlled the white cave spider and quickly walked into the battlefield, running towards the location of the body of the dreamweaver spider killed by Mino with a clear goal.

After arriving at the location, the larger Dream Weaver Spider looked at the broken body of the Dream Weaver Spider nailed to the stone wall and made an angry sound.

Behind him, several cave spiders with dream weavers standing on their heads also came over. A total of eight dream weavers looked at the broken corpse in front of them and made angry noises at the same time.

Amid their cries, the cave spiders they controlled also cried out one by one.

After wailing for a while, the larger circle of Weavers saw other cave spiders active on the battlefield. They were devouring the corpses of spiders on the battlefield.

It opened its mouth and a silent hissing of its mind resounded all around. Then, the heads of these out-of-control cave spiders exploded one after another.

After killing the out-of-control cave spiders out of venting his anger, he looked towards the passage where Mino left.

Then, the entire group of cave spiders began to rush towards Camp No. 4.

The defense line of Camp No. 4 has been completed. Mino stood on the high platform and silently looked at the simple defense line built in front of him.

Since there were not many supplies stored in Camp No. 4, the layout of the defense line was also relatively limited. They could only rely on the limited supplies and materials and mobilize the explorers and mechanics to use local materials to build this simple defense line as much as possible.

Mino looked at the communication device in his hand and saw that it would take three hours for support to arrive.

If the enemy doesn't come again, perhaps this line of defense will be of no use.

Mino thought silently.

Just as Mino was thinking this, the ground began to shake slowly.

With waves of running and hissing sounds, a large group of cave spiders emerged from the depths and appeared in front of Mino.

Compared to the cave spiders that Mino had dealt with in the past, which had no intelligence and only knew how to charge, this batch of cave spiders was much more cautious.

They first attempted to attack the defense line, and the undead who were well prepared on the defense line immediately counterattacked.

The undead squeezed the triggers and pulled the ropes, and all kinds of stones that had been collected in an emergency were thrown out through the simple device that the machinists had quickly assembled.

Although it looks a bit crude, it is still quite lethal. If you are lucky, a huge rock can directly kill several cave spiders if it falls down.

Therefore, after leaving behind more than a dozen corpses, the cave spiders decisively gave up the attack and instead surrounded the entire Camp No. 4.

After surrounding Camp No. 4, a white cave spider and several other larger cave spiders appeared behind the group of cave spiders.

Mino, who was standing on the high tower, naturally saw them appear. He looked over from afar and saw the dream-weaving spider above their heads.

Mino's eyes met those dream-weaving spiders.

Looking at these dream-weaving spiders, Mino had a blank expression on his face, without any emotion.

It turned out to be a dream weaver spider that was infinitely close to the fourth ring? No wonder Calvin didn't notice the problem.

However, given the environment of the Dragon Ridge Mountains, how could extraordinary creatures of this level be born?
After taking a glance at the strange device that was running on his body, Mino decisively avoided its sight.

Although there are strange devices to protect us, it is best not to make eye contact with them if possible.

On the other side, after seeing Mino, the three-ringed dream weaver spider on the white cave spider became more irritable.

It once again drove the cave spiders to attack.

After enduring various long-range attacks on the defense line and killing countless cave spiders, they finally approached the defense line. Then, they had to face the sharp blades from the explorers.

A group of ordinary cave spiders were completely unable to shake the defense line in front of them. Even under the control of the three-ring dream weaver spider, they had been attacking the defense line fearlessly.

However, this impact did not cause the defense to retreat a single step.

Of course, this fearless charge was not without reward. At least the various supplies in Camp No. 4 were being consumed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Once supplies are exhausted, the defense line will inevitably be affected.

However, Mino was not worried about this, after all, support would arrive soon.

The Dream Weaver Spider was completely unaware of these things, although after being promoted to the third ring, his brain had become smarter than that of an ordinary person.

However, he had always lived in the Dragon's Back Mountains, and the only spiders he could come into contact with were spiders of his own kind and other cave spiders. Therefore, he did not recognize anything in Camp No. 4.

Therefore, he did not know that the supplies of the defense line were being consumed rapidly. All he could see was that a large number of cave spiders had died, but the defense line in front of him was still strong and there was no retreat.

Moreover, no one on the defense line was killed.

Looking at the defense line in front of him, he became anxious.

He let out a sharp cry, and then the cave spider that was attacking the defense line ignored the boulder that was about to hit it, endured the attack, and made way for the dream weaver spider.

The Dream Weaver Spider poked the white cave spider under its feet and controlled it to walk closer to the defense line through this passage.

The white cave spider under his feet was a two-ring alien cave spider, and its combat power was much stronger than these ordinary cave spiders.

Moreover, as an alien species, his mental resistance is not low.

In fact, the Dream Weaver Spider was able to control it purely by luck. It discovered it when it was expelled from the group, at its weakest and youngest, and has been controlling and influencing it until now, weaving a dream that has lasted for more than ten years.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Dream Weaver Spider to fully control it.

After seeing its movements, Mino's eyes lit up slightly.

He gestured twice with his right hand behind his back, and then the explorer behind him who saw him gesturing quietly retreated from the platform.

As the explorer relayed Mino's orders, two devices wrapped in white cloth began to rotate silently inside the defense line.

At the same time, the long-range attacks of the defense line also adjusted their directions and continued to bombard the white cave spider.

Faced with a large number of long-range attacks, the three-ring dream weaver spider was not nervous at all. It controlled the white cave spider below and easily intercepted these attacks.

The thrown boulders were easily knocked away, the sharp arrows were bounced off by the hard shell, and the few arrows that tore through the shell could hardly cause effective damage to the white cave spider.

As an alien species, the defensive power of his shell is amazing. A few arrows can't do anything to him. At most, they can only cause him some pain.

But under the beautiful dream woven by the three-ringed dream weaver spider, the white cave spider could not feel any pain at all and could still maintain a steady forward speed.

As the white cave spider got closer and closer to the defense line, the defense line attacked it more and more frequently, as if it was frightened.

The Three-Ring Dream Weaver looked at these fragile attacks with disdain. After realizing that they seemed to have no means to deal with him, he commanded the white cave spiders to speed up their pace.

After it controlled the white cave spiders to move forward, the front-line explorers under Mino's orders also pretended to be panic-stricken. On the surface, they were at a loss as to what to do, but in fact they withdrew from the first line of defense in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, the Three-Ringed Dream Weaver Spider became more confident and quickened its pace once again.

Just as the white cave spider stepped onto the defense line, at the back of the defense line, several undead pulled back the white cloth that was covering them, and two simple elemental cannons appeared in front of them.

The muzzles of the two elemental cannons were aimed at the position of the three-ring dream weaver spider, and then they quickly fired.

Two dazzling beams of light burst out from the muzzle and blasted towards the location of the three-ring dream weaver spider.

After seeing the elemental cannon, the Dream Weaver Spider was a little panicked and hurriedly controlled the white cave spider to resist the two attacks.

The white cave spider stood up and stretched out its forelimbs, forming a large X in front of itself, trying to block the attack.

"boom!"

The two beams of light collided with the white cave spider's forelimbs, and the strong impact swept around in an instant.

The defense line under his feet was the first to be hit and was completely destroyed in an instant, followed by the approaching cave spiders, which were all blown away.

　Gosh, without any saved manuscripts, it’s hard to reach 10,000 points a day.

　　I will try my best to maintain the update frequency of 10,000 times. If I can't do it, I may have to go back to the update frequency of last month.
