Chapter 290: Chapter 284, the Spider Fateweaver_1

Ten minutes later.
A swarm of spiders, anthropomorphic giant spiders emerged from the dense forest.
With the thick canopy no longer blocking their view, all types of spiders were exposed to Fang Hao.
There were many spiders.
Despite being repeatedly ravaged by the breath of death, there were still thousands of them.
The spider swarm split into two forms.
One was normal spiders, about the size of a washbasin.
The other was the anthropomorphic giant spider, a combination of humanoid and giant spider, making them roughly the size of a large bear.
Under the surrounding multitude of spiders, a large figure came from behind.
She was a woman with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider, green-skinned with black markings, and was about the size of an elephant.
Her legs, as sharp as blades, moved with an elegant gait.
The woman moved between the two armies.
Looking at the white-haired beast-eared girl already waiting ahead, she spoke softly, “My Lord, you…”.
The spider woman slightly bowed, but the silver-haired girl cut her off before she finished speaking.
The silver-haired girl pointed at her own shoulder.
On it, a lame, skeletal, ash-colored sparrow was perched.
“It… It’s your leader?” The spider woman widened her eyes in disbelief.
Anjia nodded.
Fang Hao was also sizing up the spider woman in front of him.
[Spider Fateweaver (Rank 10)]
Truth be told, Fang Hao didn’t like spiders, especially their many legs and large abdomens.
Although the woman in front of him had a pleasing appearance, the body of a spider still made him uncomfortable.
What surprised Fang Hao was that this woman was actually a rank ten unit.
If she participated in the Hero Trials, she could advance to a hero position.
Noticing that Anjia didn’t seem to be messing with her, the Spider Fateweaver turned her attention to the lame skeletal sparrow on Anjia’s shoulder, slightly bowing, she said, “My Lord, we meant no harm, we hope to conclude this conflict peacefully.”
“Are you the leader?” Fang Hao asked.
Hearing the skeleton ash sparrow suddenly speak, the Spider Fateweaver showed a surprised face.
One could clearly see her swallowing hard.
“Yes, yes, my Lord.” The Spider Fateweaver responded.
“What’s your name?” Fang Hao continued.
“Domina, my Lord.”
“Good, Domina. My followers and I were passing through, but your people attacked us. How do you think we should resolve this?” Fang Hao asked sternly.
Just when they arrived over the forest.
Indeed, it was an anthropomorphic giant spider wielding a bow and arrow that launched the first attack on them.
“My Lord, this was a misunderstanding. Recently, a despicable pack of Gnolls attacked us, and my subordinates mistook your group for them in their nervousness,” Domina explained.
“I don’t want to hear the reasons. I want to hear how it’s going to be handled.”
“We can offer compensation,” Domina quickly replied.
The rank ten Bone Dragon had already surpassed their capabilities.
Even Domina had only advanced to rank ten the previous year, and the ranks of the remaining members of her tribe weren’t high.
Most of them relied on the cover of the dense forest and their numerical superiority.
However, when facing eleven rank ten Bone Dragons, which were aerial units.
Their spider nest had become a target.
They could do nothing but let themselves be attacked by the enemy, while their own webbing and arrows were as weak as stones thrown by a child.
After more than half of her tribe died, she had no other choice.
The only option left was to surrender, even if it meant paying a heavy price.
“I don’t need your compensation, you only have one choice which is to surrender. I will continue to let you manage this forest, and also give you the opportunity to advance to a hero position,” Fang Hao directly shattered all her illusions.
Domina tried to turn back and return to her swarm of spiders.
However, Anjia was one step ahead of her by blocking her way back. Anjia’s hands were already fitted with metal Tiger’s Claws.
“You … ” Domina’s face turned unsightly in an instant, staring at Fang Hao coldly, “Are you robbers?”
“At least I, as a robber, am willing to give you a choice. So, make your choice.”
The Bone Dragon slowly formed an encirclement, surrounding all the spiders.
Under the passive skill [Dragon’s Might], some spiders were paralyzed, falling to the ground and starting to twitch.
Domina looked at everything in front of her, her face gloomy.
After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said, “I agree to submit. Let my people go.”
“Good, it’s in both of our interests to go with the flow.” Fang Hao turned around and flew to the rear, “Follow me, sign the contract and you can all go.” “Okay!”
Arriving behind the line of Skeletons, Fang Hao deactivated his God’s Presence state.
Surrounded by the skeleton trolls, he found a blank Slave Contract in the Book of Lords.
“Just press a handprint,” said Fang Hao.
Domina looked at the human surrounded tightly by the trolls and frowned, “Who are you? I have to sign a contract with you, not your leader?”
“I’m the one who was just speaking with you; it was merely a magic trick,” said Fang Hao, opening his palm.
The grey sparrow that was a skeleton with one leg just now landed directly.
Domina was now confused; she couldn’t understand why Fang Hao and his group would suddenly appear.
They were spotted by a Queen Giant Spider on guard and a battle broke out.
She even felt a bit regret. She shouldn’t have come out for any ceasefire negotiations.
Now, the contract had to be signed whether she liked it or not.
With a gloomy face, Domina pricked her finger and lightly pressed it onto the contract.
Light merged into Domina’s body, the contract was complete.
[Domina’s Current Loyalty: 43]
Damn, only 43.
Good thing I made the contract, otherwise, with normal submission, she would definitely have found a way to kill me.
Soon after, another message from the affiliated villages came.
[Webweaver Nest has voluntarily become your affiliated village. You can confirm in the Book of Lords.]
Fang Hao promptly opened the Book of Lords.
Chooses to confirm.
[Webweaver Nest has become your affiliated village. You can rename the village ‘here’, and allocate all the resources within the village.]
No need to rename, the name Webweaver does sound pretty good.
How come this name seems more suitable for a garment shop than my own ‘Bone Textile Store’?
Webweaver Nest Position is very close to the Mithril Mine.
Once there, using it as the location for mining and storage of the Mithril Mine wouldn ‘tbeabadidea.
[Blueprint Unlocked: Queen Giant Spider Nest Construction Blueprint.]
[Queen Giant Spider Nest: Wood 2200, HardWood 1500, Flexible Leather 850, Spider Silk 765, Rich Essence 1.]
(Description: The sense of security brought by the nest can accelerate the reproduction speed of the Queen Giant Spider, constantly hatching spider babies.)
Queen Giant Spider?
Fang Hao glanced at the stern-faced Domina in front of him.
Could it be referring to her?
She’s that fertile?
“Okay, are you satisfied now?” Domina said coldly.
“Alright, let your people go. Take me to your forest.” Only then did Fang Hao walk out from behind the trolls.
He couldn’t afford not to; at this moment, Fang Hao was genuinely vulnerable.
If the hero died, he could resurrect him at the Hero Altar.
If he died, then it was truly game over.
So, out of necessity, he had to be cautious about everything he did.
“Okay, you’re in charge here now.” Domina turned her head and started walking towards the forest on her sharply pointed legs.
Fang Hao followed her, bringing his crew along, while also checking Domina’s attributes.
