The night breeze gently blows, and Wang Wu seems to move with the wind.
Although his actual speed is only about ten meters per minute, the simultaneous activation of Level 10 Passive Concealment and Level 8 Danger Perception feels truly different.
Within a hundred-meter radius, every dynamic is under control.
The sense of merging with the earth, the soil, and even the wind makes him feel immensely secure.
To be safe, he started his stealth journey from a barren area one hundred and fifty meters away, occasionally stopping to avoid the circling patrol of night birds.
So by the time he reached the green ecological area, nearly twenty minutes had passed.
"This place is quite interesting."
Wang Wu crouched in a dense bush, slowly moving his head to adjust his view while carefully observing.
Right in front of him, there stood a giant spider web trap, six meters high and more than two hundred meters in both length and width!
Honestly, the largest Black Widow Spider race he encountered last year in the valley wasn't as exaggerated.
That race only had one Black Widow old spider, about the size of a dining table.
But here, there were as many as five.
This was clearly a larger and stronger Black Widow race.
Among this spider web trap, three large trees grew in a triangle, each about ten meters apart. The thickness required ten people to hug them, and they were at least fifty meters tall.
Not only were they lush, but around them, twelve individual trees were deliberately planted, some clearly planted this year, others appearing two or three years old, with faint traces of Iron-teeth Flying Locusts rampaging.
Furthermore, on one of these giant trees, Wang Wu sensed a gigantic Black Spider with a life force no weaker than a Big Mountain Cat; its size unknown but certainly powerful.
This was undoubtedly the leader of this race.
In addition, this spider race had about a hundred Black Spiders the size of a basin, patrolling around the spider trap like elite armored soldiers.
As for the smaller spiders, there were even more, nearly two thousand or at least nineteen hundred.
And the spider silk produced by this Black Spider race was clearly of higher quality.
However, Wang Wu didn't see the Spider Daughter Wine hung on the trees; it may be hidden, after all, it's strategic material.
Furthermore, considering this Black Spider race has a habit of raising Fly Warriors, their comprehensive strength and war potential aren't weak; this is already comparable to a local powerhouse within the Demon realm.
Even if Wang Wu had a tough head, he wouldn't dare provoke them.
Thus, he continued to make a detour along the side under the cover of night; he hadn't come to cause trouble.
But then, just as Wang Wu detoured a bit further without leaving the Black Spider race's territory, he suddenly felt something move in his heart, lifted his gaze slowly, and saw a squad of large Black Bats flying in the night sky, each quite ferocious, with wingspans nearing a meter, sharp spikes on their flesh wings, only their red eyes visible even in the dark night.
"Are they vampire bats or vampires?"
Wang Wu increasingly felt this area harbored hidden talent.
But what surprised him more was, this squad of ten Black Bats flew straight into the Black Spider's territory without causing excessive agitation, as if the two parties knew each other and had made arrangements.
And just then, from the largest tree, crawled down a Black Spider the size of a farm tractor, which instead of attacking, took out three jars of Spider Daughter Red.
Immediately, three Black Bats landed, grabbing the three jars of Spider Daughter Red, both parties still maintaining a friendly exchange, a fair trade.
But the next second, five Black Bats suddenly flew forward, surrounded the Black Spider, and emitted eerie shrieks, then each spat out tiny flames, not strong but definitely fire.
These five tongues of flame instantly ignited the big spider, causing it to roll around in pain visibly.
The strange part is that the surrounding Black Spiders were completely indifferent, allowing their leader to be burned into a big fireball.
Initially, Wang Wu didn't understand, but soon he realized, and his heart was shocked with horror, he understood what was happening.
This wasn't the Black Spider leader seeking abuse, nor were both parties starting a war, but rather part of a transaction.
The Black Spider race was exchanging Spider Daughter Red for resistance to fire.
This was exactly like what he was about to do himself; he too wanted to brush up on flame resistance, but these Little Demons were too competitive.
At this moment, Wang Wu couldn't help but think of how the Golden Saint Mantis plundered the Black Snake Priest, and how the toxin sprayed by the Iron-teeth Flying Locust Legion contained paralyzing poison, as did the toxin from the Black Snake High Priest.
Could this be a coincidence?
No, it must be something they brushed out from the Devil Vine.
This Cultivation Realm is truly competitive; Big Mountain Cats, Little Wild Boars, Little Black Bears, and Night Owls all possess considerable Ice Resistance. The Black Spider leader brushing for flame resistance wasn't the only one brushing for Negative Resistance.
All these Little Demons are doing this, competing with rivals, competing against enemies. As long as they don't compete themselves to death, they keep competing.
Alas, just like captive Gu Insects, in the end, it won't produce a Spring and Autumn Gu, right?
For a moment, Wang Wu's mood was extremely complex, Security -100!
Moments later, the squad of Fire Bats gathered their flames and departed contentedly, while that big spider had its eight legs burned to ashes; the other big spiders rushed over then, spewing silk to wrap it, and dragged it back to the big tree.
It seemed that this big spider's flame resistance was only at 2 points at most.
Wang Wu's mood suddenly improved; yes, he still had a major advantage.
Next, he intended to track that squad of Fire Bats but seeing the direction they left, he ultimately reconsidered because the Fire Bats were headed towards the North Mountain.
Meaning, their race likely had an identity, a roster among the North Mountain King's demons.
This time, they came to pick up some side work.
Bypassing the Black Spider race's territory, ahead was clearly a buffer zone about twenty to thirty meters wide, since not a single tree grew here, nor were any shrubs, and wild grasses grew neatly; it's clear periodically harvested to ensure no one with inferior demon ethics would sneak in for an attack.
This made Wang Wu click his tongue in admiration; the organizational structure of such races wasn't inferior to humans.
Adjacent to the Black Spider race, there should also be a formidable race because there were two large trees hugged by ten men each, plus more than a dozen small trees apparently newly planted this year.
Undoubtedly, the Iron-teeth Flying Locust Legion's passage also dealt a catastrophic blow, yet they succeeded in surviving. Surviving is victory, is hope; maybe in several years, their race could thrive, and a proud demon could emerge.
As Wang Wu was thinking this, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance of fruit.
Well, it's those berries; what kind of race would plant such a vast berry garden?
Looking ahead, there were at least over two thousand bushes, more than those in Elder Hui's territory.
Once upon a time, Wang Wu also hoped to own such a vast berry garden.
Unfortunately, it's too difficult.
Gazing at those plump berries, he knew this Little Demon race, to maintain a berry garden of this scale, must annually invest at least 2000 points of Spiritual Qi.
This was undoubtedly a comprehensive powerhouse of a demon comparable to the Black Spider race!
However, wouldn't the North Mountain King, South Mountain King come to recruit them?
Or do these races inherently have ancestors serving under the great demons of North Mountain and South Mountain?
This was highly possible because these trees requiring ten men to hug weren't grown in just three years or two.
Wang Wu hesitated for a while, ultimately left silently, without actual profit, he couldn't afford to conflict with such a demon powerhouse.
