Wizard's Journey

Chapter 335 The Nest of the World (Part 11)

The Thousand-Eyed Crab and numerous demon hunters quietly stopped in the distance.

Green, Ararat, and Salis, acting as the vanguard, carefully observed everything ahead.

The flames shone brightly.

Hundreds of meters ahead, a layer of fine, tough, dark gray spider silk clung to many bushes and decaying leaves. However, this silk was clearly not a web, but merely a kind of nest barrier, similar to a human house.

The spiderweb-like barrier connects a large area of ​​trees, forming a giant wolf spider nest.

On the spiderweb barrier of this tarantula's nest, a raging fire was burning in one spot, with elemental forces surging chaotically; this was clearly the place where the elemental wizard had self-destructed.

Looking out in the firelight.

On the spiderweb wall, nesting wolf spiders, each about twenty centimeters long, were crawling back and forth, densely packed together, numbering no less than several hundred. There were even half-adult nesting wolf spiders that were half a meter long, but very few adult nesting wolf spiders that were over a meter long appeared.

Clearly, those witch hunters must have been captured and taken into the lair of the lair tarantula as prey.

After realizing this, one of the witch hunters managed to break free from the mind-reading of the lair tarantula. In desperation, he performed an elemental self-destruction, the energy flames piercing through the spider silk barrier of the lair.

"There are so many tarantulas..."

Green murmured with a slightly solemn expression.

In Green's ultrasonic positioning magic perception, countless tiny, dark, plate-sized juvenile wolf spiders were crawling back and forth on a white-backed spiderweb barrier.

Even these juvenile nest tarantulas displayed extraordinary hunting abilities and vitality, far surpassing those of creatures in the ordinary wizarding world.

The earthworm then opened its withered palms.

In the very center of her palm, a tender green bud swayed gently, seemingly some kind of symbiotic insect.

At this moment, the symbiotic insect appeared to be conveying some intelligence information to the Ararat.

After a while, the green sprout in his palm burrowed back into his skin. Ararat closed his palm, retreated into his large wizard robe, and said in a deep voice, "The wizard who used life energy is still alive, and he is now inside this tarantula's nest."

Salis was supporting a massive double-layered elemental shield, enveloping herself and Green to prevent them from being detected by the thought voices of the nest tarantula.

On the metal plate-like magical artifact in Salis's hand, the crowing rooster, under Salis's control, seemed to be undergoing some special sensing.

"Good news."

As soon as Salis announced the good news, Green and Ararat, who were standing nearby, both turned to look at her, waiting for her next words.

Salis said slowly, "The alarm rooster sensed a total of sixteen adult nest tarantulas that it could detect. Although the alarm rooster cannot completely sense the inside of the nest, even if it misses some, there will definitely not be more than thirty adult nest tarantulas in this nest."

Even among so-called adult nest tarantulas, only a portion are able to become Level 1 creatures.

Most adult nest tarantulas are classified according to wizarding rules, and some are even considered to be levelless creatures, similar to legendary knights.

If it weren't for the fact that such thought voices are extremely difficult for elemental wizards who require precise mental manipulation, and that their numbers are enormous, then the individual nest tarantula itself wouldn't be anything special.

Having gathered the intelligence, the three quickly retreated to the distant location of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and its various demon hunter wizards.

Should we go and rescue the witch hunters who have been captured by the nest tarantulas?

Green and Arathi had to make a careful decision about this matter. If it was really as Salis said, that there were fewer than thirty adult nest tarantulas, then the two teams of witchers could carry out a rescue operation after careful planning.

Thinking of this, Green cautiously asked again, "Salice, are you sure this crowing rooster's senses are working properly?"

"certainly."

Salis's voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied. If Green hadn't already temporarily intimidated the team members, Green's question would have quickly sparked conflict among the dark wizards.

However, having already intimidated them, and out of caution for dark wizards, Green wouldn't care whether the other party was satisfied or not.

Perhaps after this demon-hunting mission, the two will never see each other again until their deaths, so why would they care about her feelings?

In other words, even if the two happen to meet again, Green doesn't need to really consider the other's attitude. Dark wizards have their own rules, and those who can't withstand the rules have already been eliminated in the process of elimination.

Ararat expressed his opinion before Green did.

"I think it's still necessary to try and rescue them. This nest world is clearly just a relatively large primitive creature world, with not many branching demon-hunting quests waiting for us to discover. And relying on exploring the world's nest passage to earn witch essence..."

In the end, the old witch Aravana slowly shook her head and gave a cold laugh.

After pondering for a while, Green nodded resolutely and said, "Okay! Even if... even if we can't successfully rescue them, let's try our best to free them."

The slight sense of identification that Grimm felt as a fellow human witch hunter in the wizarding world was his moral bottom line.

Green couldn't bear to imagine the scene of those witch hunters being bound by spider silk and interfered with by thought voices, helplessly struggling as the tissues inside their skin gradually turned into juice, which was then consumed by the nesting wolf spiders.

The torment and horror of this method of death even surpassed that of the specimens on the wizard's testing table, and was completely comparable to Grimm's mutated force field.

Ararat glanced at Green, nodded calmly, and said, "That's right."

The group's destination was thus arranged by Green and Ara. As for the others, they had no choice but to unconditionally obey the Dark Wizard Captain's arrangements and carry them out better.

Standing atop the Thousand-Eyed Crab's back, Green addressed his demon-hunting squad of wizards on the ground in a deep voice: "Don't use large-scale spells later, or you might kill the demon-hunting wizards inside the nest, or attract the attention of other potential wolf spider nests nearby. Try to kill those nesting wolf spiders one by one. The alarm rooster will..."

the other side.

As a Level 2 Demon Hunter Wizard, Alashan had far more combat experience than Grimm in planning missions. The other three Level 2 Demon Hunter Wizards were also veteran demon hunters, and they were already familiar with the rules of the killing war game without needing to say much.

After a while, Arathi and Green exchanged glances and nodded silently at the same time. Then, they led the other twelve demon hunters slowly toward the discovered tarantula nest.

Stand still.

Arathi raised his withered wooden magic staff and said in a deep voice, "Summon elemental creatures."

call!

Roar!

……

Amidst a series of roars and howls, more than ten elementally activated creatures appeared, and the sudden surge of powerful elemental energy immediately attracted the attention of the nesting wolf spiders.

As if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, countless young nesting wolf spiders, no bigger than a dinner plate, poured out from the spider silk barrier nest, baring their fangs and howling, and brutally charged towards the numerous demon hunter wizards. Their numbers already numbered no less than a thousand.

Among the juvenile nest spiders, which resembled fountains the size of dinner plates, adult nest spiders, measuring one, two, and three meters in length, emerged.

The bodies of these adult nesting tarantulas are covered with barbed black steel-like hairs, their massive pincers gleam coldly, and the crying face patterns on their abdomens are incredibly lifelike.

"First level of wild instinct, activate!"

Covered in scales, Grimm wielded the Ram's Horned Skull Magic Staff and instantly conjured three fire bats, which, together with the Flame Giant's lava greatsword, slammed into the surging tide of young nesting tarantulas.

To the wizards, these young nesting tarantulas were indeed just a bunch of insects.

If it weren't for the eerie thoughts emanating from the adult lair tarantulas, most witch hunters could easily erase these juvenile forms with a little time.

Among the elemental creatures, including the elemental giant summoned by the level two demon hunter wizard, only the Arathi and another elemental creature summoned by a level two elemental wizard were stronger than the Flame Giant, reaching the level of a level two elemental creature.

The giant of ferocity, with its black and golden flames intertwined and fused together, was covered in lava armor. It roared and howled, its chest and back flaming with laughter. Its domineering and eerie appearance caused the demon hunters, who had not seen it before while unconscious, to take a closer look.

What caught Green's attention was Naraku's side.

The black chain spheres surrounding Naraku began to transform, turning into a giant metal hand over ten meters long, which slammed down with a loud boom.

Immediately afterwards, the giant metal hand transformed into dozens of black chains that swept across the area, instantly killing a large number of young nesting tarantulas.

However, no matter how the metal chains changed shape, a black chain always surrounded Naraku, protecting the seemingly frail blonde witch inside.
