Spider webs of various sizes were intertwined messily between the trees in the forest, turning the area into a mini maze.
In this maze, anyone who ran in a panic might bump into the spider webs at any time. Once they bumped into these strongly sticky spider webs, they would be stuck and could no longer break free.
At that time, this struggle would attract the spider demons lurking in the dark. They would immediately inject dissolved poison into the prey stuck to the spider webs and then wait for a while. After the prey's entire body turned into a pool of paste, they would leisurely enjoy and suck the prey.
Roy had observed the hunting process of these spider demons before and knew that there were a large number of them. They were social creatures, and once a spider demon appeared somewhere, a group might appear at the same time.
Through observation, Roy found that these spider demons could only be regarded as ordinary monsters. Their individual intelligence was not high, and their living habits were very fixed. Other than their large numbers, they were not difficult for Roy to deal with.
Holding his Colt Python in his right hand, Roy picked up a long branch from the ground and held it in his left hand. After coming to a spider web, Roy stretched out the branch and pushed it against the spider web. Then he shook it vigorously to simulate the effect of prey being entangled.
Not long after, a spider demon the size of a millstone quietly appeared from a tree. Since it was called a monster, its size was naturally not something that ordinary spiders could compare to. The strange patterns and hairs on its body made it look so ferocious and ugly. Its hooked limbs climbed on the tree trunk, making rustling sounds. Its huge swollen abdomen and several dark eyes on its forehead made Roy's hair stand on end even though he knew that their vision was poor.
These spider demons were very cunning. They would judge the size of the entangled prey through the vibrations from the spider web. If the vibrations were strong, it meant that the prey was too large. Not only was it not easy to deal with, but it might also break free of the spider web very quickly. In this case, they would not appear. If the vibrations were small, it meant that the prey was not too big and could not break free of the spider web, so they could only be slaughtered.
The vibrations that Roy simulated with a branch naturally could not compare to the vibrations of real prey being entangled. Therefore, although this spider demon appeared, it was a little puzzled and did not immediately climb onto the spider web.
However, it was enough as long as it appeared. When it appeared in Roy's sight, he raised the Colt in his hand, aimed, and fired!
Bang! The huge body of the spider demon became a good target. Roy's shot directly hit its head, creating a large hole. This spider demon let out a painful scream and fell from the tree.
However, it did not die immediately. Its entire body and limbs were still twitching and trembling. Roy walked forward and stood in front of the spider demon. He raised his tail and stabbed it into the spot where the spider demon had been shot with lightning speed. He stirred it a little and stirred the spider demon's brain into mush.
All the legs of this spider demon retracted, and it was completely dead. A small ball of soul light emerged from its body, and Roy grabbed it.
If the soul of the four-eyed demon that he killed at the beginning was the size of a ping pong ball, then the soul of this spider demon was only the size of a soybean, even smaller than the souls of the monsters that Roy had caught.
Roy did not understand what was going on, but he still put away the soul ball.
After storing it, the description given by the system interface was: low-quality soul fragment (1)!
Not a soul but a soul fragment? Roy was a little stunned. What does this mean?
No one could give him an explanation. With doubts, he put aside his thoughts for the time being and turned to walk toward another spider web.
Each spider web would only have one spider demon guarding it, and these spider demons would not pass through each other. So once he killed the spider demon guarding it, the spider web would not pose any threat. Roy's original plan was to burn these spider webs, but after thinking about it, he felt that if he kept these spider webs without the spider demons, they might be able to help him block intruders from entering his cave. He could use them as a security door, so he kept them.
As long as he cleaned up all the spider demons, the spider webs they left behind would become a protective barrier for his cave. This was the only contribution they could make to him.
With this thought in mind, Roy began to clean up every spider web that appeared in his sight. He first lured them out with simulated vibrations and then shot them down with his gun. This cleaning process was actually very easy.
But later, Roy found that this was too much of a waste of bullets, so he looked around and found an insect monster that had just been entangled in a spider web.
This insect monster looked like a large beetle, but when it was entangled, the spider demon guarding this web quickly appeared and climbed onto the spider web without hesitation.
At this moment, Roy, who had been waiting below, stabbed out with his tail. The sharp triangular tail pierced the spider demon's head before it could bite the beetle monster.
Roy's modification of his body was wise. This tail displayed great killing efficiency at this moment. He did not need to waste any bullets, it was frugal and environmentally friendly!
After killing this spider demon, Roy stretched out his tail, opened his triangular tail, and gently clamped the beetle, pulling it off the spider web.
This beetle monster did not have much intelligence. Even though Roy helped it get out of danger, it did not appreciate it at all. When it was clamped by Roy's tail, it even opened its mouth to bite Roy's tail, appearing very ferocious.
However, how could it bite Roy's tail? Roy looked at it coldly, grabbed it with his tail, walked to another spider web, and then swung it hard, throwing the beetle onto the spider web again.
The beetle began to struggle again, and soon, the spider demon guarding this spider web appeared …
Roy's fishing plan succeeded. Using this beetle monster as bait, Roy killed dozens of arachne one after another until the beetle monster no longer had the strength to continue struggling on the spider web. Only then did Roy cut it off with his tail and accepted the small soul it had provided.
As for the souls provided by the spider demons, they were all soul fragments without exception …
The number of souls obtained from this massacre was actually very pitiful. Not only were their quality not high, but they were also very small.
Just as Roy was feeling a little depressed about his harvest, he suddenly found that the light above his head was blocked by something, and a huge shadow appeared on the ground.
At the same time, a voice sounded. "Caught you! You despicable little bug!! "
This voice was very strange. The strange thing was that it clearly sounded strange to his ears, but Roy could understand the meaning of this voice in his mind.
It was as though … this voice was directly acting on his soul!
What was even stranger was that as this voice sounded, a thought appeared in Roy's mind, and he instantly understood what was going on.
This is … the demon language?!
At the same time, Roy's reaction was not slow. He kicked the ground with both legs and rolled out of the range of the shadow!
Boom! Just as he rolled away, the spot where he had been standing was immediately attacked. A huge black shadow with an unparalleled aura smashed into the ground.
A large amount of black soil splattered everywhere, and a pit appeared on the ground. Roy rolled and got up, only to see the attacker clearly.
It was an even larger … spider demon! However, unlike the arachne he had killed before, the one he was facing now was a half-human, half-spider female arachne!
From the waist down, she had a huge spider abdomen, and her upper body was a humanoid body. She was naked, revealing a pair of B-cup nipples. However, her skin was covered in spider fur, and she did not give people any seductive thoughts. There were several pairs of compound eyes on her head, and pincers extended from her mouth. Only the pair of curved demon horns on her head indicated her demon identity.
Coupled with the eight giant limbs supporting her body on both sides, her entire body stood in front of Roy like a tank.
Looking at this half-human, half-spider guy in front of him, Roy could not help but take a deep breath. He knew that he was in big trouble!
Judging from the other party's size, this was probably a demon that had already entered the mature stage, at least at the top of low-rank. As for whether she had promoted to middle-rank demon, it was unknown …
Roy finally understood why he obtained soul fragments after killing spider demons. The reason was very simple. Those spider demons could only be regarded as clones of this demon in front of him! The reason why spider demons lived in groups was not because of their biological habits but because they were simply hunting tools used by this spider queen in front of him!
