Through the gaps between the shrubs, Yang Ling carefully observed the not-so-distant Spider Cave. This was a black spider tribe, which, apart from its all-black fur, was no different from the domesticated red-haired wolf spider.

  According to Spider King's memory, this was a relatively powerful tribe with nearly ten thousand spiders. Fortunately, the hornet beast silently took care of their patrolling sentries along the way; otherwise, it would have been impossible to approach their old nest easily.

  The red-haired wolf spider, although carrying a deadly poison and able to burrow underground to hide, still can't compare to the swift and agile hornet beasts in terms of stealth, especially the hundred hornet beasts that have evolved horns.

  After evolving into a horned wing, the horned beast flies at a speed as fast as lightning and is silent. In the dense forest, with the help of leaves, grass, and rocks, the patrolling black spider can't detect their tracks at all. By the time they realize something is wrong, it's already too late, facing the horned beast's unstoppable poisonous stingers and sharp fangs, they have no power to fight back.

  At noon, it is often the most idle time for black spiders. At this time, not many spiders will go out to hunt for food, and even the sentinels who come out to patrol are few. The vast majority of spiders either rest on the ground or slowly devour their stored prey, unaware that an unprecedented disaster is about to befall them.

  After confirming that the peripheral troops of the Black Spider had been resolved, Yang Ling no longer hesitated and summoned all the slow-moving Evil Eyes to form an array. As for the Wolf Spider army led by the Spider King, they crawled into the wasteland in front of the Evil Eyes and dug down, their mission was to block the attack on the Evil Eyes by the Black Spiders. After the situation had been settled, they would then charge into the Black Spider's lair with the Hornet Beast to sweep through.

  After taking a deep breath, Yang Ling gave the order to attack. Instantly, dense beams of light shot straight into the Black Spider's vast cave, and in an instant, a chilling scream pierced out from inside. Soon, countless black spiders poured out like a tide, rushing towards the Evil Eye not far away.

  Compared to the Red Wolf Spider, the Black Spider is more robust, with some growing to the size of a bowl, baring its fangs. Unfortunately, in front of the neatly arranged array of evil eyes, their fragile shells are not worth mentioning, and they were blown to pieces by the continuous beam of light as soon as they rushed out of the cave.

  Due to insufficient range, the terrifying venom of the black spider was not used at all, and most of them died near the entrance. A few who had just pounced in front of the evil eye were suddenly torn into pieces by the red-haired wolf spider that emerged from the ground like lightning.

  Massacre, an utterly merciless massacre!

  Under the siege of a large group of red-haired wolf spiders, under the relentless bombing of evil eyes, the black spider had no power to fight back. Soon, the cave entrance was flowing with blood, and the air was filled with a strong bloody smell. Slowly, the cries inside the cave became weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer black spiders rushed out.

  As the fire was almost ready, Yang Ling gave the order to attack to the Wolf Spider King beside him. The latter let out a shrill cry, and instantly, a number of ferocious red-haired wolf spiders emerged from underground, killing intent emanating from them as they charged towards the Black Spider's lair. At the same time, the Hornet Beast, which had been waiting for an opportunity to strike, shot out like a fighter jet, providing air support and cover for the spider army.

  In open spaces, the evil eye's power is unmatched, but for tasks like sweeping through caves, it has more heart than strength. In complex and narrow terrain, their slow speed is a fatal weakness, making them an easy target for the enemy. After a moment of contemplation, Yang Ling decisively put them away and cautiously approached the spider cave under the guard of a group of hornet beasts. Although victory was already in hand, it's still better to be careful considering the spider's terrifying venom and burrowing abilities.

  After stepping into the cave with thick and dense fresh blood, Yang Ling found that the Wolf Spider King was commanding the spider army to sweep everywhere, not letting go of any suspicious place. As soon as a hidden black spider was discovered, more than a dozen red-haired wolf spiders would pounce on it immediately, tearing it to pieces in the blink of an eye and then swallowing it mouthful by mouthful.

  For ordinary people, the venom of black spiders and the heteromorphic ability of burrowing are unstoppable, but for red-haired wolf spiders, these are just a piece of cake. The battle between spiders is mainly about hand-to-hand combat, seeing who has more strength and whose fangs are sharper.

  Under the command of the Wolf Spider King, soon the spider army rummaged through the entire cave, killing one by one the hidden black spiders. At the cost of losing only a few hundred small wolf spiders, they annihilated a large black spider tribe. The only regret was that when Yang Ling found the corpse of the Black Spider King, the poor guy had already been torn to pieces, and the dream of domesticating the Black Spider King also fell through.

  However, although the Black Spider King was torn to pieces, the yellow crystal nucleus was preserved. After seeking Yang Ling's consent, the Wolf Spider King excitedly swallowed the crystal nucleus, and soon his body began to swell inch by inch, and his cold, shining fangs became even sharper.

  Through devouring crystal cores to autonomously advance?

  Watching the Wolf Spider King grow from a face-basin size to a bathtub size, Yang Ling was overjoyed. If Evil Eye and Hornet Beast could also evolve through this method, they would be able to greatly enhance their strength in a short period of time and train an elite army of magical beasts.

  Next, Yang Ling led the demon beast army to continue sweeping the surrounding spider tribes, and successively tamed five black spider kings. As for the red-haired wolf spider king, after swallowing more than a dozen crystal nuclei, it grew to the size of a calf, its venomous range increased from ten steps to twenty steps, and its attack power was extremely terrifying. Not only did it smoothly take over the territory of the surrounding spider tribes, but it also gained control over the five black spider kings, greatly increasing its strength.

  To enhance the mobility and combat effectiveness of the spider army, Yang Ling selected 2,000 elite wolf spiders with the help of the Wolf Spider King and spent a day taming them one by one. Then, with the Wolf Spider King as the commander-in-chief, he chose five advanced wolf spiders and five Black Spider Kings as team leaders, dividing the 2,000 wolf spiders into ten battalions, strengthening their coordinated combat capabilities with evil eyes, hornet beasts, and other magical creatures.

  A small but well-trained army is more effective than a large one that is poorly trained!

  After several days of fighting outside the Spider Valley, it turned out that the spider army's coordinated operations were even more powerful, and their venom, web-slinging, and burrowing abilities were fully utilized. At the same time, Yang Ling also discovered a secret: low-level magical beasts such as wolf spiders, horned wasps, and evil eyes could only swallow crystal nuclei of the same kind, while the unicorn would accept anything and could almost swallow the crystal nuclei of all magical beasts.

  The Tras Forest is said to be boundless, but in reality, no one knows how vast this primeval forest really is. Nor does anyone know how many low-level magical beasts such as wolf spiders, horned wasps and evil eyes reside within it. Yang Ling believed that with time, his army of low-level magical beasts would eventually advance to high-level, becoming even more formidable than mid-level or even high-level magical beasts that had not advanced.

  After the demon army had been circling outside Spider Valley for a few days, Yang Ling decided to leave the spider army in Spider Valley. To quickly advance to Earth Witch, he needed a large amount of Life Spring Water or Demon Beast Blood Pearls. Rather than keeping the spider army inside the Witch Tower to rest, it was better to let them hunt for him every day. Although the spider army couldn't condense demon beast blood pearls, they could completely rely on their tough spider webs to catch live demon beasts, and he only needed to come in periodically to collect them.

  After making up his mind, Yang Ling left Spider Valley under the guard of Jiao Feng Beast, walking as if flying, like a big bird jumping from one tree to another. In the past few days when leading the demon beast army to hunt, he swallowed not a small amount of demon beast essence blood, feeling that his witchcraft had improved again, and perhaps with just a bit more effort, he could cultivate to the realm of a mid-level spirit witch.

  After returning to the castle, Yang Ling ordered his personal guard Agu Su to bring strategist Gu De, preparing to strengthen the patrol team's patrol range. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass rope, although the patrol team is difficult to deal with top-notch masters like Tian Bang Killers, they can try their best to compress the opponent's spy activity space, so as not to let the opponent easily grasp one's own activity rules.

  Strengthen the patrol team's patrol area?

  After understanding Yang Ling's meaning, Gu De fell silent. Strengthening the patrol team's patrol range can not only effectively prevent assassins or Ank family remnants from fishing in troubled waters, but also further restrain the mercenary and adventurer who are eager to fight, however, there are many difficulties in specific operations.

  "Sir, expanding the patrol team's scope of patrol has great benefits. However, in terms of funding, I'm afraid..." Gud hesitated, enlarging the scale and intensity of the patrol team had both advantages and disadvantages. Without sufficient funds, everything was just empty talk.

  Although the Dwarf's weapon shop and the Night-blooming Jasmine tavern made a lot of money every day, due to the original hundreds of people in the mansion, plus various expenses and castle maintenance, there was no profit at all. Fortunately, those more than 100 barbarians only needed food and shelter, if they had to pay wages like others every day, they would have lost money long ago.

  "Good idea, Visen Town is rich in resources. Why don't we form our own merchant group? Specializing in trading ironware, fine wine and timber among other resources, what do you think?"

  Form your own trade team?

  Good's eyes lit up, but thinking of the distant distance from Visen Town to other human cities and the rugged mountain roads, he couldn't help but feel a bit downhearted. "Sir, Visen Town indeed has many treasures, but unfortunately, its location is too remote, and there are many mountain bandits along the way, making transportation costs exorbitant. It's very difficult to make money from trade in a short period of time!"

  "Hmph, selling ordinary products is indeed unprofitable, but if we specialize in selling Magic Beast Cores, it'll be extremely lucrative!" Yang Ling smiled faintly as he looked at Gudou's worried face.

  Selling WoW Core?

  After a moment of surprise, Good cheered and clapped. The reason why so many mercenaries and adventurers came to Weissen Town was that they had their eyes on the magic cores of the magical beasts in the Trasen Forest. A low-level magic core might not be worth much in Weissen Town, but if it were transported to the imperial capital of the Pantu Empire or the Rosso Empire, it would be priceless.

  Compared to mercenaries and adventurers, Yang Ling has a unique advantage. As long as the price is the same, hunters will absolutely not sell their goods to others. Moreover, Yang Ling himself is the largest hunter, whether it's forest spirits or barbarians who claim to be mountain warriors, they will all cooperate with his actions to the greatest extent. If he adds his terrifying beast army, there will probably be a lot of gains every day.

  Moreover, unlike peddling heavy iron ore and wood, selling crystal nuclei only requires a few fast horses or even just a teleportation scroll, simple and convenient! The more Good thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he saw countless glittering silver coins.

  Next, Yang Ling and Gu De finalized some specific details, preparing to advance a sum of money from the warehouse, first recruiting 100 swordsmen-level warriors, who would be uniformly commanded by Kassy. As for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce to sell magic beast crystal nuclei, it would also proceed in an orderly manner according to plan.

  That night, people saw a team of fully armed warriors walking out of Visen Castle. Wherever they patrolled, the townspeople felt an unprecedented sense of security. As for some sloppy mercenaries and adventurers, they also had to greatly restrain their usual arrogant behavior. After all, no one thought that the giant axe in the barbarian's hand was just a decoration, nor did anyone want to end up like the Difei Mercenary Corps.
