#162 - Insects can also stir up trouble

Wang Yang watched as the large spider was repeatedly killed by the ants, eventually dismembered on the spot, causing the other spiders to finally stop.

However, there were still many threatening sounds from the opposite side, and within a short period, the number of spider attacks on ants increased.

“If these spiders don't have much intelligence, then perhaps they can be exploited. Even the Spider Queen behind them can't perfectly control every action of all the spiders, right?”

Wang Yang conceived a plan, unsure of its success but without any other options.

“Then let's give it a try; there won't be any impact even if it fails.” Wang Yang hid between two rocks, a place with no other insects nearby.

Thirty shadow monsters patrolled the surroundings, ready to alert Wang Yang at the first sign of danger.

Fortunately, the ants here didn't seem to like climbing high, or else he would have been easily found.

With a thought, a group of shadow monsters appeared not far from the front line. Because they existed as shadows, the insects didn't notice them. After all, these shadow monsters had no scent.

For insects, scent seemed to be the most alarming thing.

Silently, the shadow monsters entered the forest. Wang Yang, through the senses of the shadow monsters, felt like he was watching a silent movie. The picture was blurry, but he could still make out some things.

Before long, Wang Yang clearly saw the hiding places of some of the spiders.

The spiders had set up many spiderwebs around the area, and in the middle, they had woven a hole with spiderwebs, hiding themselves inside. If anything came to attack them, they would be alerted by the spider silk at the first moment.

If anything continued to approach, the spider silk itself could trap many enemies, and because this was a spider silk defense line, the ants on the opposite side didn't dare to enter easily.

The ants that were pulled into it were wrapped up in balls of spider silk by the spiders.

“This is very similar to the hunting methods of ordinary spiders.”

Wang Yang saw the entire process of the spiders handling their prey, wrapping the ants in a layer of spider silk, then biting them and injecting a special venom.

The ants inside would eventually be melted, turning into a special liquid that the spiders would directly suck up. This was their feeding method.

Because the time was short, Wang Yang didn't know how many days this melting process took. He could only see some silk cocoons nearby and guessed based on the feeding methods of some spiders.

Most of the silk cocoons were transported to the rear by the spiders behind them.

The food they hunted in this place was not only enough for themselves but also to sustain the survival of more companions in the rear. This was the difference between having a Queen and not having a Queen.

Looking at those ants, although they were all spontaneously organized to defend here, they would first satisfy their own food needs and then send the excess to the rear, rather than distributing it according to a certain proportion.

“These spiders are so united; it would be interesting if a few of them died.”

After Wang Yang figured out the distribution of the spiders, he began to have his shadow monsters take action.

The spider silk nests were very narrow, just enough to wrap the spiders tightly inside. In fact, the spiders had no way to turn around inside, nor did they need to.

Other creatures couldn't sneak inside without being discovered by the spiders.

But this time, they encountered an enemy completely different from usual. This time, the enemy was a shadow, without a physical body, directly entering the nest without being detected.

The next moment, the shadow monster condensed into a physical form, but its body was stuck by the spider silk.

This was not a problem. At least the upper body had entered the spider's nest. With the spiders completely unprepared, the long knife directly pierced the place where the spider's head and body connected.

With one strike, the spider directly lost control of its body. Although it hadn't died yet, death was only a matter of time. The next moment, the shadow monster re-materialized, freeing itself from the spider silk.

The shadow monster left, leaving only a spider waiting to die. The layer of spider silk showed no damage or deformation, only a slight trace that was barely noticeable.

After waiting for a while, the dying spider also realized its problem. Unable to move, it could only let out a shrill scream. This scream was very sharp and unpleasant, but it let the surrounding spiders know what had happened. Now, the spiders inside the defense line began to stir.

As the shadow monsters continued to attack, more and more spiders became like this.

Many spiders ran out of their nests, giving the shadow monsters even more opportunities to attack.

Often, a shadow flashed, and a spider died or was paralyzed. The shadow monsters were too fast and caught them by surprise, so these spiders had no idea what was attacking them.

And here, they only had one enemy, and only ants could attack them; there was nothing else.

So, in the spiders' eyes, it was definitely the ants who were attacking them, although they didn't know what method they were using. The ants dared to provoke them, and these spiders, with little independent thought, became angry.

Most importantly, they couldn't let this kind of attack continue, so the spiders launched an attack.

The ants on the opposite side didn't know what was happening. Suddenly, a large number of spiders jumped out, spitting out spider silk and some spiders spitting sharp thorns, with very strong penetrating power.

It seemed that spiders only had these two different types: one used spider silk as the main means of attack, and the other spat out these thorns, and the barbs on their bodies could also be released; just these two types.

The evolution of these spiders was really poor. The ants had at least three types.

However, the spiders were finally provoked by him and began to attack the ants.

The ants on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, suffering countless casualties. But the ants, after reacting, were not surprised but delighted because those damned spiders had finally come out of their spider silk nests.

Although they didn't know why they were attacking them on a large scale, this was a good opportunity for them to eliminate them.

So, the ants began to use their own methods to call for help, and a large number of companions came from all directions. The spiders on the opposite side, seeing the ants' actions, were not to be outdone; their mobility was even stronger.

A large-scale insect war was provoked by Wang Yang.
