Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 87 Power Expansion
The nest left behind by the three Thousand-Tier Ant Kings was in good condition to begin with, and Fang Chang transformed it into the shape he wanted without much effort.

Moreover, most of the work of this renovation was handed over to Xiaobai. Most of the time, he just sat there and acted as a hands-off boss. It felt great to have subordinates to do his bidding!

Today, the nest still roughly maintains its original structure. The entire nest is divided into three parts, and the overall distribution arrangement is approximately triangular.

On its "three corners" are three extra-large rooms, which are five or six meters high and more than ten meters long and wide. They were the original residences of the three Thousand-Tien Ant Kings.

Between these three large rooms are several spacious passages. Originally, the diameter of these passages was only about two meters, but after Xiaobai's efforts over the past two days, they have been almost doubled in width.

Now, even if Fang Chang does not use the "Stretching and Retracting" skill and maintains his original body shape, he can still pass easily.

Follow these passages to the central area of ​​the nest, where there is a slightly smaller room located close to the ground, connected to the only exit of the original nest.

But after Fang Chang moved into the nest, he asked Xiaobai to open several secret passages in hidden places to use as back doors.

There is a circle of storage rooms around each of the three rooms, and they are the biggest surprise that this nest gives to Fang Chang.

In these storage rooms, there are stored the treasures that the three Thousand-Tien Ant Kings have accumulated over who knows how many years.

There are spiritual fruits and precious medicines of high quality, precious materials plundered from rare soul beasts, and even some treasures left behind by human soul masters after their death.

After completing the renovation of the nest, Fang Chang immediately started his next plan - expanding his influence.

To put it simply, he wanted to recruit more followers, and the first one he targeted was naturally the Crypt Spider.

Unfortunately, this type of soul beast is rare, and there are only a few that can cultivate to the level of ten thousand years. Fang Chang searched for several days through his "hunting instinct", and in the end he could only identify four targets.

And now, they have all been caught by Fang Chang and brought back to the nest.

"Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Fang Chang stared at the four subterranean spiders in front of him that were huddled in the corner and dared not say a word, and transmitted his voice to their hearts.

The soul powers of these subterranean demon spiders ranged from 10,000 to 20,000 years. Their bodies were less than half the size of Fang Chang's. They dared not even make a sound when facing him and Xiao Bai.

After hearing what Fang Chang said, they relaxed a little, but the four spiders still huddled together in the corner.

"From now on, you will follow me and you will get benefits. But if you dare to run away or have any other thoughts, I guarantee that I will make you into a snack right away."

Hearing this, the four subterranean spiders tilted their heads at the same time, obviously not quite understanding what Fang Chang meant.

Seeing their confused looks, I could only explain it again using gestures and movements.

"You," he said, pointing at the four crypt spiders with his shield-like front legs. When he saw them nod, he continued.

"Follow me." Having said this, he retracted his shield-shaped spider leg and pointed it at himself, and the four subterranean spiders continued to nod.

"Here," Fang Chang pointed to the nest and continued to explain, but these subterranean spiders tilted their heads again, obviously not understanding.

Fang Chang rushed forward in a rage, and a spider slapped them with its spider leg, "Here!"

The four subterranean spiders were confused for a long time before they finally understood what he meant and nodded again.

……

More than half an hour passed before Fang Chang finally made them understand these simple words.

If you think about it, the intelligence of these four crypt spiders, which number just over ten thousand, is roughly equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old human child. They can barely understand some words, but it still takes some effort to communicate with them normally.

Fortunately, these subterranean demon spiders had the instincts of soul beasts. The other party was full of fear and did not dare to confront him, which made him feel a little relieved.

They understood what Fang Chang meant, and the next things became much simpler.

Fang Chang first took out several precious medicines from the storage room of the Thousand Jun Ant King and threw them in front of the four subterranean demon spiders.

One of the burrow spiders hesitated for a moment, then lowered its head and ate the precious medicine in front of it. The other three quickly followed suit.

Although the quality of these precious medicines is far inferior to those fairy products in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyi, they are also very tonic for soul beasts like them that have just passed ten thousand years old.

The purpose of Fang Chang doing this is to let them understand the benefits of following him.

Then it asked these crypt spiders to lower their heads, blessed them one by one, and evolved them into "web nest spiders".

This evolved form retains the burrowing instinct of the Crypt Spiders, but also grants them the innate skill of "Magic Web Trap", allowing them to make traps and guard their nests.

The most crucial point is that it consumes the least number of evolution points among the forms that the Crypt Demon Spider can evolve into, only 500 points.

Feeling the changes happening within themselves, these subterranean demon spiders became excited. They had never thought that they could become stronger by hanging out with other spiders.

Most spider soul beasts are solitary creatures and do not know what obedience is, but after gaining intelligence, they can also understand what is beneficial to them.

As long as there are enough benefits, they will make some compromises. It's like a willful child who will obey the instructions of adults in order to get the toy he likes.

After giving the benefits, Fang Chang dragged out half of the corpse of a ten-thousand-year-old scaled-armored beast and started eating it in front of the four subterranean demon spiders without any hesitation.

They subconsciously took a few steps back, pressed their bodies against the wall and trembled. Only then did they understand again.

The spider in front of him was not a good person. If they angered him, their fate would probably be the same as that of the Scaled Beast.

Using both kindness and severity has always been the most effective means for superiors to control those below them, and Fang Chang knows this very well.

After he did all this, the four subterranean demon spiders became much more obedient, and obediently waited for Fang Chang's orders below. It was indeed much easier to control intelligent soul beasts.

The first order that Fang Chang gave them was to start from their current nest and dig towards the nest he had previously snatched from the fire ants on the outskirts of the forest.

Although the resources in the deep forest are abundant, the living environment is also extremely harsh. What Fang Chang is considering now is to connect this place with the outskirts of the forest so that the young spiders can be sent outside for training in the future.

Wait until they have a certain strength before bringing them back from the outside. It is best to build several hunting grounds on the ground to provide a place for the young spiders to practice hunting.

When the nest was empty again, Xiaobai came up to Fang Chang with a red face and rubbed his head against him. Fang Chang instantly felt a tingling sensation.

In fact, he didn't know that there is a rule among spiders that when male spiders are courting, they will give part of their prey to females.

If the female accepts the prey, it means she agrees to his courtship...

More than half a month had passed since Fang Chang gave Xiao Bai one-third of the body of the Thousand-Tiny Ant King in the valley, but Fang Chang hadn't made any movement! He had been busy building the big nest.

At this point, Xiaobai finally couldn't hold back any longer and chose to take the initiative, trying to arouse Fang Chang's interest.

Oh my god, it’s so hard to write a soul beast style farming (_). If I write too much, it will be watery. If I write too fast, it will be like a diary. I will skip this part later... Let’s go back to what I am good at.
