Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 451: Instinct written in our DNA

Views:

"Go back! They are not enemies you can handle!"

Broodmother spiders of all sizes came out of the nest. The spider mother tried to stop them, but no broody spider listened to her.

There is an instinct in these brood mother spiders that tells them to protect the spider mother at all costs.

Over the long years, the habits of the black-legged brood mother spider have become closer to the true sociality of ants, and "as long as the mother spider is not dead, the entire colony can continue" is firmly rooted in the genes of the black-legged brood mother spider.

The mother spider gained knowledge from that adult, and the new generation of black-legged brood mother spiders also grew in knowledge. Even so, it had no way to stop the instincts of its children.

Between survival and continuation of the clan, the young brooding spider chose the latter without hesitation, just like countless salmon that brave all difficulties and dangers, climb mountains and cross rivers, just to give birth to offspring in the place where they were born.

However, for broodmother spiders, the situation is exactly the opposite.

Countless broodmare spiders of different sizes stood in the front, just to protect the fertile mother spider, nothing more.

This may be difficult for humans to understand, but this is the choice that has enabled broodmother spiders to survive the harsh natural selection and pass it on in their genes.

The mother spider tried to use her spider legs to poke the baby spiders and sweep them into the stairs, but time and time again, the baby spiders would always climb out of the stairs and attack the culprit who had put their mother in this state.

As he took a step forward, a strange black magic circle extended from under Bai Jin's feet. Bai Jin had set up the [Ghost Shadow Array].

As the attacking Broodmother Spider stepped into the [Ghost Shadow Array], its speed suddenly slowed down. The imps lurking in the magic array took the opportunity to rush out, and their red claws scratched the Broodmother Spider, leaving deep scars.

He raised his staff and chanted in a low voice. A pure white magic circle formed in front of Bai Jin, blowing out freezing cold snow. The smaller broodmother spiders were frozen in groups, losing their ability to move forever.

Those that were not frozen, Yang Yu wielded his butcher knife and cleaned them up one by one.

Emerald green blood splashed onto the ice, and a sour smell instantly filled the chessboard.

"What are you doing! Why are you killing my lovely children!" The broodmother spider roared, shaking with anger.

"Why were you killed? Don't you have any idea?"

Kicking away the corpse of a black-legged broodmare spider, Yang Yu looked into the eight eyes of the spider mother.

"If you had not accepted the gift from that adult, you would not have this kind of knowledge, this kind of emotion that is almost the same as that of humans.

Having obtained knowledge and poison from that adult, you became eager to change the current situation of your people in the desert.

However, she does not want to admit her identity as a broodmother spider, and does not have the patience to obey the instincts of her offspring.

I've heard that the mother spider will hide in the dark to ensure her own safety, leaving her offspring to hunt for food.

You know the dangers of the desert better than anyone else.

And now, you have taken the initiative to stand up and defend the nest, which is totally against the common sense of your tribe."

Yang Yu took a deep breath, leaning against the cold wind, a black shadow emerged from behind him and sank into the sword blade.

"Who made you think that you could become different and unique just because you have Venom and Chihui? Who instilled in you that from now on, doing what he did was right? Who killed your offspring? Are you going to pretend that you don't know?"

"shut up!"

The broodmother spider roared, raised its four thick spider legs high, and stabbed towards Yang Yu.

The ice and snow froze the silk threads and venom on the chessboard. Yang Yu no longer had to worry about his feet being stuck by the sticky spider silk, and he could fully demonstrate his strength.

Yang Yu nimbly dodged the stabbing spider legs and mercilessly cut a cub in half.

Before starting a family, broodmare spiders will be kicked out of the group and spend two years alone. Most broodmare spiders will die during the two-year "adulthood test period", and only one percent of their offspring can survive to find a mate.

Those two years were a time of survival of the fittest, and most of the Broodmother Spider's powerful abilities were acquired during that time.

The cubs still in the arms of the spider mother naturally cannot possess such strength. There are very few brood mother spider cubs with a level of more than 40 and a strength of more than 300.

To Yang Yu now, these little spiders are nothing.

Avoiding several strong Broodmother spiders, Yang Yu swung his sword at the broken armor on the Broodmother spider's chest. The originally shattered chest armor was split into several pieces with green blood after Yang Yu's attack, and fell to the ground in pieces.

It's not over yet. An orange light flashed on Yang Yu's sword blade. He exchanged his own blood for an instant high output. He turned around and slashed the wound, widening it a bit.

The broodmother spider howled incessantly and spit out strings of poisonous balls from its mouth, shooting towards Yang Yu.

Unfortunately, the broodmother spider had used up too much venom before, and due to insufficient venom reserves, the size of the venom ball suddenly decreased a bit.

He could even dodge the spider silk all over the sky, but Yang Yu didn't take this seriously at all.

"As revenge, don't you want to tell us the information about that adult you mentioned?"

Yang Yu said jokingly while dodging the poison ball.

"Shut up! The decision I made was not wrong. If it weren't for you, I should have more time to think and grow! If you hadn't come here, everything would have been moving in a better direction.

We can also have cities like yours, and no longer live in the desert, starving, with no food to eat. All this is your fault!"

The Spider Mother did not fall for Yang Yu's trick and obediently gave out the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead, she angrily used all her strength to attack Yang Yu.

"You're not wrong to say that. Since you and I have become mortal enemies, I have no choice but to defeat you."

Swinging the sword, Yang Yu cut off an attacking broodmother spider and used its soft abdomen as a cushion. He first jumped onto the king's knight chess piece, then leaped onto the back of the broodmother spider and stabbed its fragile abdomen with a sword.

The spider mother wailed continuously and shook her body wildly, trying to throw Yang Yu to the ground. However, her panic-stricken state played into Yang Yu's hands.

Yang Yu’s own attack power is weak, but each of his attacks gives the Broodmother the illusion that he has strong attack power.

The spider mother, with little knowledge, had no idea that Yang Yu had entered a window period of insufficient output. Even if she jumped onto the back of the broodmother spider, she could only scratch her.

The best thing for the Broodmother Spider to do now is to ignore Yang Yu on her back and go straight to the back row, break through Bai Jin and Iyas, and then try to control Yang Yu with silk threads.

However, the irrational Broodmother Spider had no way to calm down and think. The other wounds on her body were so severe that she could not tell which wound was more painful.
