Once she begins to produce, she seldom leaves her nest.
As she spoke, she rose and opened the window, gesturing outside.
Funhao turned his gaze in the indicated direction, where a massive nest was suspended, occupied by a large green spider.
It lay within, its size comparable to that of a tank.
Does it not venture out at all? And Jia asked from the side.
It does not.
It will emerge only when changing nests.
Are all these little spiders born from her? Luoli inquired.
Indeed, will the young spiders grow this large? Not all.
The number of queen spiders is exceedingly rare.
Only one will emerge from the brood after the demise of the mother entering the nest.
Cough cough.
Realizing the conversation had strayed off course.
Fong Ho cleared his throat.
As the two turned their attention towards him, he continued, "How do you intend to deal with the goblins?" Fongo was not particularly concerned about the goblins.
However, neglecting the issue could lead to these creatures wreaking havoc in the mines, ultimately destroying the facilities that have been established, which would be quite troublesome.
Are you willing to assist? Do cast a sidelong glance.
Perhaps if your tone and demeanor were a touch gentler, I might consider helping you resolve this predicament.
Funha replied this.
Domina was momentarily takenback.
She had merely intended to offer a sarcastic remark even though they had signed a contract.
She did not believe Fong how would be inclined to assist her.
The contract was merely to safeguard the rights of the master, leaving the bound party entirely passive.
More often than not, the master would disregard the life or death of the slave, perhaps even selling them for a good price at the opportune moment or using them as canif.
She had not anticipated that Fong How would offer his help.
contingent upon her softening her tone.
You do was about to speak when a spider-marked archer rushed in, exclaiming, "The goblins have gathered outside the forest, numbering over a thousand, and they appear intent on setting the forest ablaze.
What? Where did they amass such a force?" Domina's expression instantly shifted to one of tension.
The number of adversaries and their intent to ignite the forest posed a dire threat to Domina and her companions, especially with the risk of fire.
A single blaze could spread uncontrollably, leaving them with nothing to combat the enemy.
Without a doubt, their numbers are only increasing.
The spidermarked archer asserted firmly.
Doina trembled slightly.
Were they a perish here today? Just as she was at a loss for how to respond, her gaze fell upon Fong Hao.
Yes, he had just mentioned he would assist her.
Domina hurried to Fonggha's side, her spider form lowering to the ground, her forehead pressed against the earth.
My lord, please forgive my rudeness.
I beseech you to save me and my kin.
Her voice quivered, tinged with a hint of tears.
The spidermarked archer stood agape, astonished by the scene before him.
Their chieftain was bowing so profoundly.
Glancing around, he felt that exiting now would be too conspicuous.
He too could only mimic the act, prostrating himself with his forehead on the ground.
Very well, Domina, I shall grant your request.
However, should you ever dare to infuse your personal emotions into the tasks I assign, I will not hesitate to eliminate you.
Funa's tone grew even colder.
Domina's body quivered slightly.
Yes, my lord, I shall remember this.
All right, Domina, rise now.
Gather your people at the edge of the dense forest.
Grace Sparrow will instruct you on the next course of action.
Fong how commanded.
Yes, I understand, my lord, Domina replied softly as she stood up.
Domina, the weaver of fate, has had her loyalty increase by 10 points.
Current loyalty 53.
H, what is this? Fong Ho pondered, bewildered, that after reprimanding her, her loyalty had inexplicably risen by 10 points, Domina departed with her arachnid archers, while Fong Hao, accompanied by Jia and Lui, exited the leader's lair.
After leaving the weaver's encampment, the trio made their way back to the site where the skeletal dragon was stationed.
Mounting the skeletal dragon, they soared into the sky, heading towards the northern side of the dense forest.
Upon reaching the aerial vantage point, they beheld an assembly of goblins below.
The numbers were greater than anticipated, with some already igniting torches, evidently intent on setting the forest ablaze.
Fongo gently patted the skeletal dragon, preparing for dragon breath.
In the open area outside the forest, a multitude of goblins had congregated.
Their armor was a haphazard assortment.
iron plates, leather, and even mere wooden boards crudely strapped to their chests.
The weapons they wielded were equally diverse, ranging from iron implements to wooden clubs.
They were all gathered, awaiting the next order from their chieftain.
Having clashed with the spiders in the forest for over a week, both sides had suffered casualties.
But the goblins were now losing patience.
They resolved to eradicate those loathome and hideous spiders in one fell swoop.
Hood.
Hood.
hood.
At the rear of the goblin assembly, for goblins carried a wooden palen resting upon it was a bare-chested goblin clad in blue jeans.
Chieftain, the spiders have gathered.
When shall we ignite the fire to burn the forest? One goblin approached eagerly.
The goblin chieftain, silent, held a large gold bracelet to his ear.
Listening to the rhythmic tick tock emanating from within, casting a languid glance towards the dense forest, he declared, "Let us proceed.
Today, I want to see those damned spiders perish here.
" "Yes," Chieftain, his subordinates responded, relaying the command.
The goblins began their preparations.
The vanguard assembled while those behind set fire to carts filled with hay and wood.
"Charge! Kill!" The goblins roared, launching their assault on the dense forest.
Chapter 287.
The raid on the camp.
Amidst the cacophony of battlecries, the goblins launched their assault.
They elongated their formation, arranging themselves into a horizontal serpentine line.
Their mission was simple.
Ignite the forest, and their task would be deemed complete.
As the inferno would eradicate the spiders.
As they closed in on the dense thicket, the goblins erupted into frenzied, ecstatic roars.
Yet at a mere 100 meters from the woods, they could even discern the anxious demeanor of the spiders within.
Suddenly, the advancing goblins were engulfed in shadow.
Curiosity compelled them to gaze upward, whereupon they beheld a multitude of colossal skeletal dragons descending upon them, blotting out the sun.
Skeletal dragons.
The goblins rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Could it be that they were hallucinating? As they opened their eyes once more, the realization struck them.
It was no mirage.
Several skeletal dragons were indeed soaring in their direction.
The goblins triumphant roars morphed into terrified howls.
With a deafening roar, the skeletal dragons swooped down, unleashing beams of dark energy.
