Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 348 - 201: Past Events in the Deep Cave (Part 3)
"This is exactly why the people around have moved away." Li Ang sensed that the special presence in the cave might be discovered soon.
"Is it this?" Zoe picked up a page of paper.
Li Ang and the others leaned in and saw the passage stating:
"On February 8, 294, I successfully extracted a special substance rich in spirit and refined it into enhancement liquid to cultivate the Soul-devouring Spider. As a result, they frantically multiplied, dammit, there are no ordinary people left around to provide blood food."
Alulu clenched her fist.
"On March 5, 294, I couldn’t control the breeding of the Soul-devouring Spiders."
"Deserved it," Xiaoniu said angrily, her angry tone making her usually sweet voice sound less gentle.
This still doesn’t explain the situation inside the cave.
As they flipped further, the truth unfolded before their eyes.
"On March 18, 294, I brought in a Demon called the Patterned Spider Wasp, the nemesis of spiders, hoping it could control the spider infestation in the cave."
"On March 19, 294, the Patterned Spider Wasp couldn’t handle so many spiders, so I injected it with enhancement liquid too. It excitedly destroyed several clusters but died of exhaustion, what a pity.
"On March 20, 294, surprise! The body of the Patterned Spider Wasp had unexpectedly generated many eggs. I immediately began to nurture them. I found that spider wasps’ eggs absorbing the enhancement liquid developed slowly but grew extremely robust. Great, once they hatch, the spiders in the cave should be eradicated. Perhaps I can also change the direction of my research."
The key information in the research records stops here, with the rest being data records and details on leaving the cave to purchase materials for alchemy potion manufacturing.
"It seems the true form of that thing in the cave has clearly appeared," Li Ang said.
"It’s the mutated spider wasps he cultivated." Andasu chimed in.
Li Ang nodded, "This explains why the spiders are driven away; they are its natural enemies. As for the low number of adult spiders in the cave, the reason is simple, they have all been eaten."
Alulu said, "It’s like planting veggies in the garden, eating and planting simultaneously, right?"
"That’s a very apt metaphor."
Xiaoniu glanced at the remains again, "He was killed by the mutated spider wasps."
"From the last two months’ data, there’s no substantial information recorded, indicating that he spent all that time cultivating these special Patterned Spider Wasps. The first one to kill him must have been the spider wasps once they matured."
Li Ang couldn’t help but think that this place was considered a high-risk area due to the mutated demons created by the crazy Alchemist from Thousand Tower City, who even had high intelligence to cultivate its own food.
For six or seven years, it has been consuming Soul-devouring Spiders for growth. What kind of situation would it be in?
He closed the experiment records, and suddenly a system prompt appeared.
[Prompt: Discovered the Summoned Beast [Whiteflower Wasp] nurturing route. This is a mutated demon; acquiring its egg sac or larva can allow complete obedience taming with the help of the Nursery.]
It was as if the system was saying that without the Nursery provided by the system, don’t even try to raise this thing.
Even with the Fairy Dragon, this kind of prompt didn’t appear, Li Ang thought. This "Whiteflower Wasp," transformed from the Patterned Spider Wasp, must be an extremely vicious demon.
"Let’s go, and see the depths."
With that, Li Ang used the Pure Magic Shield to protect the four of them well.
To suppress all the Soul-devouring Spiders, the Whiteflower Wasps in the cave must be creatures of the Excellence Realm.
Walking along, Zoe lowered her head, looking somewhat downcast.
"What’s wrong?" Li Ang asked softly.
"It was eight years ago when my mom and dad left home."
Indeed, it was like this, eight years ago, her father wrote in his notes that due to a message from the "Cha’ain," they had to leave the island to confront the organization understanding the Star Soul.
Wait a minute, the unusual events with the Cha’ain Clan that Aifei had mentioned also occurred eight years ago, when the wayward son of the Cha’ain Clan mysteriously died.
Li Ang frowned, realizing that the very first problematic point of the disaster in this cave was also eight years ago when the Holy City experienced a unique magic power fluctuation that disturbed spirituality enough to reach the underground cave at the city’s edge. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Li Ang felt as if these clues were gradually weaving into a coherent idea in his mind.
At this moment, they reached the end of the cave, and an astonishing scene appeared amidst the intertwined spider webs ahead.
