Chapter 318 Dwarf Territory
The collision between the white cave spider and the two beams of light attracted the attention of other dream weaver spiders and Minnow.

The remaining cave spiders, because they were being controlled, did not care about these and continued to attack the defense line. Therefore, the explorers and undead on the defense line had no time to pay attention to this side and tried hard to defend against the attacking cave spiders.

As the shock wave continued to spread around, the two elemental cannons stopped attacking first.

As the two beams of light slowly stopped, the shock wave also slowly subsided.

Mino looked at the white cave spider with red forelimbs and was a little surprised.

Although these two elemental cannons were made by hand using local materials and their quality was not very good, since the assistance arrived quickly, the design of these two elemental cannons was fully prepared for the first shot.

Therefore, these two elemental cannons can only fire once, and the damage is infinitely close to that of the three-ring elemental cannon.

As a result, the white cave spider in front of him actually resisted and even its front limbs were not broken.

Isn't this defense too strong? It can even withstand elemental cannons.

If other explorers encountered it, they would definitely not survive.

This spider is so terrifying that we must not let it stay.

Mino took a breath of cold air. If he encountered it in the passage outside, he would probably die.

Just when Mino was surprised by the performance of the white cave spider, the weaver spider on the head of the white cave spider also became a little scared.

He looked at the red-burned forelimbs and forced himself to maintain the white cave spider's dream which had become somewhat broken by the attack.

After taking a look at the elemental cannon which looked unchanged, he commanded the white cave spiders to silently withdraw from the defense line.

His control over the white cave spider began to loosen, and he didn't dare to gamble whether the two cannons could still fire.

Therefore, he chose a conservative strategy, preparing to retreat first, re-strengthen his control over the white cave spider, and then continue his attack.

As he retreated, the cave spiders that had been madly attacking the defense line also left behind countless corpses and withdrew from the front line.

However, they did not leave, but surrounded Camp No. 4, silently watching everyone in the camp.

The people in the camp didn't care about this. If you want to watch, go ahead and watch it. Watch more now. When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill you all.

Mino glanced at the strange mechanical communicator and saw that there were only nearly two and a half hours left before the support would arrive.

Two hours later.

The commissioner stepped on the corpses of the three-ringed dreamweaver spider and the white alien spider, and calmly looked at the battlefield full of corpses. The legion soldiers were strangling the last batch of cave spiders.

In the camp, Mino also put the last unconscious and captured dream weaver spider into a special box.

Of the eight dream-weaving spiders, except for one with three rings and two with two rings that were killed on the spot, the remaining five with one ring were all knocked unconscious and taken into custody.

In less than a few minutes, all the cave spiders brought by the three-ringed dream weaver spider were slaughtered.

Afterwards, the explorers and legion soldiers formed a larger team and marched towards the depths of Camp No. 5.

In the spirit of "since we are here, we are here", the legion soldiers killed indiscriminately along the way. If they saw any spiders in the main passage, they would not be able to leave alive. Even if it was just a passing insect, they would have to be slapped twice before they could leave.

The Legion soldiers fought their way from Camp Four to Camp Five, killing almost all the cave spiders.

When they arrived at Camp No. 5, they also saw Camp No. 5 covered with a large amount of spider silk.

Considering that there are still living people in Camp No. 5, and that a lot of supplies and equipment are stored in Camp No. 5, they cannot all be burned in one fire.

Therefore, the explorers could only clean the spider silk manually with some frustration.

Mino frowned, used his dagger to cut off all the spider silk blocking his way, and approached the nearest location where there were signs of life.

He opened the door curtain and walked into the torn tent.

At the broken pieces of the collapsed wooden bed in the tent, Mino saw a white cocoon wrapped in countless spider silks.

Looking at the faint signs of life in the white silk cocoon, Mino did not hesitate and carefully tore open the white silk cocoon with his dagger.

His luck was bad; one fifth of the explorer's body in the silk cocoon had turned into liquid, and the remaining body parts were scattered and floating on the liquid.

Although the person is still alive, it is actually almost the same as being dead.

Although the War Council is able to rescue them in this situation, the conditions in the Dragon Ridge Mountains are so poor that they simply don't have time to save them.

Even if he was rescued, he would probably still have sequelae. Besides, if they saw him in this state, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

Mino shook his head and pierced his head with the dagger, killing him quickly and allowing him to return to the Fountain of Life to be resurrected.

According to the committee members, if they encounter this kind of situation, it would be simpler to let them return to the Fountain of Life to revive, which would save trouble.

After killing him, Mino continued to move towards the interior of the camp.

As a three-ring artificer, he was much faster than other explorers, so he was the first to arrive at the center of the camp.

Mino tore through the very tough spider silk that blocked his way and squeezed in, relying on his small size.

After entering the center of the camp, the first thing he saw was the spider eggs piled in the center of the camp.

When Mino saw these spider eggs, his eyes lit up.

These spider eggs were more than ten times smaller than the cave spider eggs he had seen before, and there were also some special traces of the weaver spider on them.

This is obviously the egg of the dream-weaving spider.

Mino immediately forgot the purpose of coming to the central camp and quickly ran to the spider eggs.

Seventeen dreamweaver spider eggs in total.

Okay, okay, this is a lot, enough for the ranch to open. As long as they are not all male or all female, then the Dreamweaver Spider Ranch can be opened.

Mino had originally planned to drug the captured dream-weaving spiders so that they would lay eggs, but now he doesn't have to go through so much trouble.

According to the weaver spider breeding plan provided by Roland, wild-caught weaver spiders can only be used during the initial accumulation period. If you really want to raise them, you still have to start with weaver spider eggs.

Through special alchemical potions, the illusion ability of the Dream Weaver Spider is gradually weakened and abolished, the silk-spinning ability and the quality of the spider silk are gradually strengthened, and control runes are added at the same time to ensure the normal operation and safety of the ranch.

Mino immediately passed the news of the weaving spider eggs to several committee members, and at the same time ordered the explorers to gather at the center as soon as possible.

In less than five minutes, the explorers arrived at the center of the camp.

Under Mino's command, the explorers cleared a passage, then picked up the weaver spider eggs and carefully carried them out one by one.

At the same time, some explorers cleared the passage leading to the camp warehouse, took out the spell scrolls that Roland had prepared for the Dream Weaver Spiders, and sealed these precious Dream Weaver Spider eggs one by one.

After ensuring that these dream weaver spider eggs would not suddenly hatch, several machinists took the materials in the warehouse, made boxes, and carefully packed these dream weaver spider eggs.

These Dreamweaver Spider eggs will then be escorted back to a safe rear by several commissioners and legion soldiers.

However, this would have to wait until they came back, as several commissioners and legion soldiers were not staying at Camp No. 5.

As if they had found some valuable memories from the soul of the Dream Weaver Spider, they went straight past Camp No. 5 and walked into the depths of the Dragon Ridge Passage.

In front of Camp No. 5, there is a branch of the main passage.

Naturally, the main passage built by the clan states in the Dragon Ridge Mountains would not be just a straight one.

After the exploration team explored four areas in succession, they finally encountered a real fork in the fifth exploration area.

Unlike other branch intersections, the fork intersections in this area are built according to the standards of main channels.

It is precisely because of this that Camp No. 5 will wait for Mino to bring people over and then start exploring after everyone is gathered.

The commissioners and the legionnaires took the left fork in the road. Therefore, only the explorers were responsible for cleaning up and handling the mess at Camp No. 5.

After moving all the weaving spider eggs away, Mino turned his attention to the densely packed cocoons in the center of the camp.

Some of the cocoons have already been opened by the explorers, and only a few lucky ones have not yet had their turn. They are simply wrapped in spider silk. These lucky ones can be transported out directly, while those whose bodies have been more or less fused can only be sent back to the Fountain of Life to be resurrected.

Mino waved the dagger covered with spider silk in his hand, walked up, and opened the silk cocoon with other explorers.

However, Mino's luck was not very good. The silk cocoons he opened were either left with only liquid or half melted, so he had to kill them directly and force them to open them again. Unlike the other explorers nearby, they could occasionally carry a few people out alive.

Mino became more and more silent, but just as he was numbly opening a new silk cocoon, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Hey, isn't this Calvin?

The body parts of a dwarf were floating in the silk cocoon in front of him. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Mino knew the identity of the dwarf at a glance.

Calvin was born into an ordinary dwarf family in Donnar and did not belong to any dwarf clan. He was one of the few who was proficient in both the common human language and the dwarven language.

Moreover, he came from an adventure team, had outstanding organizational and communication skills, and possessed a strong curiosity and spirit of exploration.

Therefore, when the War Council recruited explorers for the Dragon Ridge Mountains, he signed up without hesitation.

As an ordinary dwarf who grew up in Donnar, he is also one of the few dwarves who does not care about his racial identity at all, and the only dwarf who has a good relationship with Mino, the goblin.

However, although he also received military training from the War Council, he was only a three-ring knight and was indeed very good at exploring and fighting on weekdays.

But facing the sneak attack from the Dream Weaver Spider of the same level, he was captured without any resistance, and he didn't even have time to send out a message.

When he made a bet with Calvin about who would die first, Calvin swore that as a knight, he would definitely win.

Mino smiled, it seemed that he won.

Thinking of this, Mino killed him mercilessly and sent him back to be resurrected.

After rescuing all the people and supplies in the camp, Mino burned down the abandoned Camp No. 5 and rebuilt a new Camp No. 5 nearby.

After the new Camp No. 5 was built, Mino also received news from the commissioner.

Following the soul memory provided by the Dream Weaver Spider, they found a new dwarf territory.

The only problem is that this new dwarven territory has been overrun by countless cave spiders.

Although according to the soul memory of the Three-Ring Dreamweaver Spider, it is the strongest in this dwarf territory, there are only some ordinary spiders and a small number of extraordinary spiders left in the dwarf territory.

In order to avoid causing secondary damage to the dwarf territory, the commissioners and legion soldiers did not carry out massacres or cleanups. Instead, they confirmed the location of the dwarf territory from a distance and then chose to evacuate.

Anyway, there are only some ordinary spiders and extraordinary spiders, so let the explorers deal with them slowly.

After all, the explorers were more familiar with dwarven stuff, but the commissioners and legion soldiers knew less about it.

If we let them deal with the cave spiders in the dwarf territory, they might be able to kill them quickly, but it is hard to say what the dwarf territory will become.

So, after much consideration, the committee members decided to let the explorers handle it.

After receiving the message from the committee members, Mino also expressed support for their decision, saying that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

The dwarf territory is too complicated for you to control. You have to let us take charge.

Therefore, after the commissioners withdrew with the legion soldiers, they discussed with Mino the exploration and development of this new dwarf territory.

Of course, the main reason was that the committee members asked Mino to develop the dwarf territory as quickly as possible and obtain wealth and supplies from it to ease the pressure on the War Committee.

Mino asked the committee members for the assistance he wanted, including people, supplies and aid.

Although the War Committee was already facing some difficulties in terms of manpower and materials, several members gritted their teeth and agreed.

After a quick and simple exchange, two hundred elite legionnaires stayed behind, while the commissioners and legionnaires left the Dragon's Back Mountains with the Dreamweaver Spider eggs.

Mino left all the defense work to the legion soldiers, and then led his men to the new dwarf territory discovered by the committee members.

Although the committee members did not attack the dwarf territory, they did not hold back on the spiders in the passage and killed them all.

Since the passage had been cleared, Mino quickly reached the end of the passage by following the fork.

Mino walked out of the passage and what came into view was a huge underground cave.

At the same time, he also caught a glimpse of the dwarf territory in the center of the cave.

This is a large city built on the terrain.

The sharp peak stood straight up, almost touching the highest point of the cave.

The spherical staircases surrounding the top of the tower climb down layer by layer, connecting each level of the dwarf territory in front of you.

Every level of the dwarf territory that the eye can see is dotted with various ancient dwarf pillars, which support the upper and lower parts, and together support the dwarf territory that is exposed in front of you, from low to high, with ten levels and a decreasing area.

Each dwarven pillar is covered with various spider silks, and a large number of cave spiders have settled in this dwarven territory.

In addition to the Dwarven Pillars, there are many cave spiders crawling around on each level.

Due to the combined ravages of war, time, and cave spiders, every level of the Dwarven Territory is filled with a large number of old, dilapidated Dwarven ruins, which are almost completely unrecognizable from their original appearance.

In addition, due to the collapse of some dwarf pillars, the dwarf territory that was originally designed very standardly also experienced some collapse, so that the dwarf territory in front of us looked like a cone-shaped cake that had been bitten several times from all directions.

On the outskirts of the dwarf territory is a moat surrounding the entire dwarf territory. However, the moat is not filled with water, but countless boiling molten lava.

If you want to cross the lava and enter the dwarf territory, there are only four stone bridges scattered in different directions.

However, only two of the four stone bridges were still passable, while the other two were impassable. A deep pit was blown out in the middle of one, and the other was blocked by a large amount of stones and soil.

Following the upstream flow of magma in the moat, Mino could see a long magma channel spreading from the distance, and vaguely, he could see a slightly raised volcano.

After taking a look at the situation inside the cave, Mino took the lead and was the first to walk out of the Dragon Ridge Passage and enter the cave. Behind him, nearly a hundred explorers and a large number of undead carrying supplies and materials also came in.

After entering the cave, Mino and his group did not immediately explore the dwarf territory. Instead, they first found a relatively hidden place in the cave and asked people to build an exploration camp. They then took a dozen elite explorers with them and began to carefully grope towards the direction of the dwarf territory.

Although there are quite a few cave spiders in the dwarf territory, there are very few cave spiders in the land outside the dwarf territory.

Most cave spiders rarely stay in open spaces. Even if they occasionally go to other passages, they just pass by in a hurry and do not stay for too long.

Therefore, as long as Mino and his group carefully avoided these cave spiders, they could easily approach the dwarf territory.

Mino looked at the slowly flowing, steaming lava river, and then at the stone bridge covered with spider silk.

The explorers looked at each other, took out smell-masking powder from their arms, and sprinkled the powder on each other to cover up their breath.

Afterwards, after watching another group of cave spiders leave the stone bridge, Mino and his team stepped onto the stone bridge when there was no activity among the spiders.

Due to the poor eyesight of cave spiders and the cover of spider silk, Mino and his group easily crossed the stone bridge and arrived in front of the dwarf territory.

Mino and his group came to the city wall of the dwarf territory. After looking at each other, they shot a rope onto the city wall, bypassing the dangerous main gate and directly entering the dwarf territory.

They came to the second floor above ground in the dwarven territory.

Although the dwarves are not very tall, each floor of the dwarf territory is five or six meters high, which is more than enough for the cave spiders to move around.

Mino looked at the cave spider lying in the spider web of the ruins not far away, made a few gestures to the other explorers, and then quietly bypassed it, leaning against the ruins.

　No drafts, no inspiration, just do it.
