Chapter 6: Spider Hunt

When they approached the forest, a creepy crawling sound came from the forest, and then a group of gray shadows jumped out of the forest and landed on the grass.

Ji Lin looked closely.

These suddenly appearing shadows were a group of hyena-sized spiders, with a layer of fluff growing on their dark gray chitinous carapaces, and eight pairs of compound eyes glowing with creepy green light, falling on these attackers who intended to invade their territory.

The eight strong spider legs spread out in an attacking posture, twisting restlessly and leaving traces on the mud.

The gray giant owl made a clacking sound.

Because Ji Lin brought more people, they had not yet planned to launch a charge and waited for an opportunity to attack.

[Name]: Hunting Spider

[Type]: Beast - Dark Age

[Armor Strength]: 0

[Melee Defense]: 40

[Weapon Power]: 3

[Abilities]:

Cluster Tactics I: Increases the life rate and dodge rate of troops. This effect will reach the maximum value of 30% (not activated) when the number of allies exceeds twice that of the enemy

Beast Nature: The death of companions will stimulate their aggressiveness.

Swiftness: Faster speed.

[Introduction]: Don't be alone.

Ji Lin frowned.

The type of garrison troops directly turned into wild monsters at the top of the Dark Age. Hunting Spiders can be said to be the most common new lord killer. The cluster tactics alone can ensure that they can disgust the high-quality melee of a single unit. There is no other way except to grind them to death bit by bit.

But this thing has a swift label and its attack power is not low.

Fortunately, he had enough spearmen, and the swarm tactics of these spider hunters were useless. The failure to activate the swarm tactics meant that the number of spider hunters was not more than his spearmen, and spider hunters without a number advantage were no match for humans.

If the ratmen and golem orcs encountered such a large group of spider hunters, they would definitely lose members. If the barbarians at the beginning of the game were not well controlled by humans, they would be seriously injured and lost members.

Although these spider hunters have a layer of chitinous carapace, this is not counted as armor. Spider hunters can be domesticated and cultivated into special scout spider hunters. The carapace of scout spiders will develop again due to sufficient food, and their body will become larger and covered with a thick carapace. At this time, they can have an armor strength of ten points.

Infantry in the classical era also had an armor strength of ten points.

"Forward."

Ji Lin gave the order.

In his vision, his two talents, the destroyer and the planned defender, were both playing a role.

Such a wide spear formation would be scattered if used on the battlefield without thickness, but it was enough to fight against these hunting spiders with zero impact force.

The spear tips were drooping, and the tips of the 100 spears flashed coldly in the sun.

Too heavy, not flexible enough.

These are all shortcomings.

The spears formed into a military formation turned their shortcomings into advantages. It didn't matter if they were not flexible enough, they could make up for it with quantity. The target they faced had a little space in front of them. It was heavy, but it didn't matter. They just needed to hold it and push forward.

One is long, one is strong.

Stab.

A simple action constitutes the whole of the spearmen. Even if you can dodge the oncoming attack, the fatal piercings from all directions will end your life.

There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid. The hunting spiders that took the initiative to emerge from the forest and fight them on the flat ground were in a dead end from the beginning.

The wall of death formed by the spiders blocked all the space for dodging and maneuvering, all of which were the spears approaching.

The first blow came from Chang Heng. In the center of the formation, he took away a hunting spider that was coming towards him with a precise heavy stab, lifted it high and threw it on the ground. The bloody smell of the same kind immediately aroused the ferocity of these hunting spiders, and they screamed and rushed towards the spears.

The beasts are not smart after all.

Facing the primitive spearmen pressing on, the spiders stupidly rushed towards this wall of death.

After losing their mobility, the hunting spiders seemed so fragile, and no matter how scary their appearance was, it could not change themselves. If they were trapped in the forest of spears, they would be stabbed out with a spear, nailing the hunting spider that wanted to jump to the ground, and then other cold lights came to pierce the hunting spider through the heart.

Ji Lin also saw a flash of fear in the eyes of some soldiers, which made him feel that these primitive spearmen had more humanity.

The most dangerous thing was that a hunting spider went around and knocked down a soldier, causing him to be slightly injured. The hunting spider was not poisonous, and a simple stabbing to stop the bleeding did not affect the combat effectiveness.

The effect of the military formation was remarkable.

As long as the military formation was maintained, the morale would be at a high level.

The spider group was rapidly decreasing in number, and the length of the gun barrel cut off their thoughts of flying. Their attacks could not touch the primitive spearmen, but every stab of the spearmen would nail a hunting spider and take its life.

This was not a battle, but a massacre.

Raise the gun and stab.

The last hunting spider that dared to attack them fell to the ground and died.

The remaining hunting spiders were in disarray and fled back to the forest.

There was no need for him to command, these primitive spearmen solved the battle, and he stood behind the formation to provide supervision buffs and bonus buffs.

Ji Lin touched his chest, but found that his chest was sweating.

Sure enough, he was still nervous...

There were still some that had not been killed... Wait -

Ji Lin looked at the system pop-up window with a strange expression.

'Eradication completed, hostile target: Hunting Spider. '

‘Controlled, Type 1 forest’

‘Obtained blueprint: Lumberyard, food reserves +31. ’

‘The spider nest is full of fear of you because of morale collapse, and has changed from hostile to independent. ’

A new prompt appeared on the forest on the small map, a spider logo floating above the Type 1 forest, and the forest also changed from independent gray to controlled green.

The rate of hunting spider meat is a bit low. They killed more than 70 hunting spiders before the system prompted an increase of 31 food reserves.

[Hunting Spider Nest]

[Ability]: Hatching hunting spiders.

[Development]: Ranch

[Quantity]: 29

[Introduction]: Hunting spiders that are not in a hungry state are extremely gentle, please pay attention to feeding them.

Ji Lin was in a good mood. Not only did he get the blueprint of the lumberyard, but his own 10% morale damage became the last straw that overwhelmed them and gave him a special resource spider nest.

This is a good thing.

If the lord is lucky enough, he can collapse the morale of wild monsters and turn them into independent ones, and develop them as part of the resources.

Hunting spiders are the easiest to tame for elves, tree people and demons, but it is difficult for humans, so if the human race wants to get this kind of useful scout, they can go to the market to buy it.

Spider legs are also a rare delicacy.

When Ji Lin took the primitive spearmen to deal with wild monsters.

The domestic farmers were not idle either. Ji Lin gave them instructions to use wood and mud to build mud walls, using wood as a frame, and then filling the frame with mud to form a stable structure, and pile up a vertical mud wall to prevent enemies from getting in.

One hundred people built a two-meter-high mud wall to surround the village.

Some lords would choose to build resource mining buildings at home to avoid attacks on buildings built outside, and then the expanded defense area would be extremely difficult.

On the tenth day, Ji Lin's goal was to directly meet two waves of enemy attacks, so he naturally would not build resource mining buildings at home.

If the population did not need houses to live in, he could even give up the 20 houses in his home. It would be easy to block the mouth and resist two waves of enemy attacks.

Stepping on the corpses all over the ground, the strong smell of blood made his body subconsciously send out uncomfortable signals.

He had seen all kinds of corpses and blood before, but after rebirth, he would react to some scary spider corpses.

After opening the back, Ji Lin used the lumberyard blueprint.

The blueprint will not be used automatically after it is obtained. It is first on the lord's back. In the future, the lord can sell the blueprints that he does not need. There are many useless wonder blueprints in the later stage. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw them away. It is better to sell them to people in need in exchange for some useful resources.

[Lumberyard]

[Requirement]: 40 wood

[Ability]: Logging

[Introduction]: Three-piece set for land reclamation, you deserve it.

In this forest, an order was issued to build a lumberyard.

Minus the ten pieces of wood burned in one night, and the wood used to build the mud wall frame, the one hundred wood he picked up on the first day was all gone.

So poor.

The resources that were close to being empty kept reminding him to replenish them quickly.

‘Lumberyard, construction countdown 1 hour.’

A wooden bungalow rose from the ground, and the resources seemed to flow out of the void and piled on the ground. There were invisible workers controlling the construction. No matter how many times you watch the automatic construction, it was so amazing.

On the map interface, fill up the number of workers in the lumberyard. After the construction is completed, villagers will naturally come here to start working.

Ji Lin is going to the next location. There is a small berry bush and a small mineral vein waiting for him.
