At this time, the spider of doom stopped not far from a dense timeline.
The timeline of this area is covered with dense spider silk, which makes it seem somewhat airtight, and there are strict time and multi-dimensional rules that can almost prevent the invasion of weak creatures.
Of course, the ecological niche of the Doom Spider is at most a little higher than that of the Mud-eating Ancient Snake, and it is also a younger brother in the four-dimensional space and time.
This is obviously the lair of the Doom Spider. It wandered not far away for a while, and there was a regular vibration in the part of the timeline extending from the lair.
It seemed to have received the signal and immediately moved in one direction. A hole suddenly opened at the edge of the nest that was densely covered with spider silk.
The spider of doom dragged the remains of the ancient snake of time and plunged into it.
After entering the nest, there are tunnels extending in all directions. The entire nest is made of a mixture of spider silk and crystals.
The Spider of Doom, who was familiar with the road, finally arrived at the core area of the lair after twists and turns, where there is a space with a size of 560 to 740 standard degrees.
Time lines crisscross the space, but the time lines here are slightly sparse.
In the middle of the sparse timeline, there are eight spiders of doom, large and small, the largest of which is almost two-thirds the size of the ancient snake.
In addition to these doomed spiders, there are also some "pupas" hanging in the middle of the spider webs in this space. These things are actually captured prey.
A large part of them are ancient snakes.
In addition, there are two other four-dimensional creatures. Their ecological niches are similar to those of ancient snakes, and they are bottom creatures that share the same fate.
The Spider of Doom pulled in the remains of the ancient snake, and sent a message to the leader, explaining the story of the hunt.
The largest spider of doom also responded with a message.
The doom spiders are different from the ancient snakes that lived alone. Their survival mode is based on small groups.
Generally speaking, the size of a small group of doom spiders is usually between 5 and 20. Once it exceeds this size, they will actively diversify.
The reason why the scale cannot be too large is mainly due to their prey. Each group of doom spiders will occupy a fixed area.
Fixed area? It means that the resources in the area are also fixed.
If the number of doom spiders in the group is too large, the prey in the hunting area will be over-hunted, and the bottom creatures such as ancient snakes are not unlimited.
Does the Ancient Time Snake need time to grow? Once it is over-hunted, the Ancient Time Snake in a fixed area will become extinct in a short period of time.
After this situation occurs, the Doom Spider will either expand its hunting range or move to other areas.
The problem is? There are also doom spiders or other predators in other areas, and wanton migration and expansion of hunting areas will only lead to mutual fighting.
Therefore, when the group exceeds twenty, the leader of the Doom Spiders will take the initiative to drive some members away? There is no way around this.
The ecological laws of nature dictate that the vast majority of living things can only adapt to the rules. Or do they disappear into this world and transcend all other existences? They are rarer than rare.
…
At that time, the remains of the ancient snake were dragged to a gap between the timelines by the spider of doom, and then spun out silk threads to weave a pupa, which was fixed in the middle of a spider web.
Prey after capture? Sometimes the Doom Spider doesn't eat it right away.
For example, if there is enough food in the nest, the doom spider will wrap up the prey and store it in the spider web, and only take it out for emergency use when the prey is reduced.
The parasite hidden in the remains of the ancient snake of time is feeding back to A-002 the situation in the doom spider lair.
When Guan Hansheng saw that the Doom Spider was not eating, he gave up his previous second plan and chose to continue to wait and see.
A-002 also needs time to study the time-knotted crystal.
After giving Lin Mao a few instructions, Guan Hansheng opened the communication system and reported the incident to the New Humanity native land, including the encounter with the doomed spider, the stifling toxin, the discovery of the time-knotted crystal, etc.
The New Humanity is home to Guan Hansheng, who should act carefully. As long as he does not expose himself, other things can be done according to the situation.
Looking at the four-dimensional space-time virtual map in front of him, Guan Hansheng discussed with the two vice-captains and decided to send a group of reconnaissance spacecraft to lurk over the Spider Nest of Doom.
The unmanned reconnaissance spacecraft hid in Tibet along the way. It took more than two months before it arrived around the Doom Spider Nest.
To avoid detection by the Spiders of Doom, reconnaissance ships are hidden in the surrounding timeline.
These timelines have long been horribly harmed, and the spy ship disguises itself as a timeline crystal wall, fitting onto the timeline and quietly monitoring the Spider Nest of Doom.
During this period.
Within A-002, the research on time-knotted crystals has also been completed, as well as the replication process and related physical properties.
"Captain, this is a new type of parasite we developed based on time-knotted crystals. It can be disguised as crystals or spider silk." You Zhi said happily.
Guan Hansheng glanced at the document: "Is it reliable?"
"Whether it's reliable or not, I can only give it a try." You Zhigao spread his hands.
After weighing the pros and cons for more than ten minutes, Guan Hansheng finally decided to give it a try. After all, the new parasite cannot be tested in practice, and it is difficult for researchers to improve it.
Only by obtaining actual measurement data can we find the problem of new parasites.
However, doing so also involves certain risks, because the body of the Doom Spider is covered with fluff, which is extremely sensitive to the surrounding disturbances.
Under the control of several crew members, the new parasite hidden in the body of the ancient snake slowly eroded the crystal and opened a small gap in the crystal coating.
This gap looks similar to the surrounding crystals, but it is actually disguised by a new type of parasite.
Then new parasites continued to attack and attached themselves to the threads of the spider web.
At this time, there are only 4 doom spider nests inside the doom spider nest, and the other doom spiders are out hunting.
He carefully manipulated the new parasite and penetrated into a relatively small spider of doom. The spider of doom that was hanging on the timeline was unaware of the approaching danger.
Follow the spider thread, getting closer and closer.
Just as he was about to touch the body of the doom spider, suddenly the doom spider seemed to notice something and turned around to sense its surroundings.
In an instant, the new parasite also disguised itself as spider silk and remained motionless on the spider web.
The spider of doom patrolled back and forth on the spider web several times before he temporarily put away his doubts, but he became a little more vigilant.
Faced with this situation, Guan Hansheng, who controlled everything remotely, was a little nervous and had to stop the new parasite.
Three days passed, and no unusual bad luck spiders were found, so I felt a little more relaxed.
However, Guan Hansheng still did not act rashly and did not let the new parasite continue to act until half a month later.
In this operation, the crew seemed to be more careful and cautious in their operations, and their speed was also slow.
The doom spider moved again, making Guan Hansheng and others fearful again.
It soon turned out that it was a false alarm. It turned out to be a doomed spider that had been hunted and was communicating with this doomed spider.
