Chapter 472 Epilogue (6)
Combining the changes in the place where the monster was born, the location of the Spider Queen's corpse and its final state, as well as the changes in the wind and fire tornado after the explosion of the Wind Style Rasengan, Lido roughly reconstructed the process before the Spider Queen's death in her mind.
Probably from the moment she hid in the lava cave, the 'Spider Queen' occupied the deepest part of the cave, which is the cub raising area.
After the Spider Queen and some lucky three-eyed demon soul spiders hid in the lava cave, they certainly did not hide behind the rocks blocking the cave entrance, but squeezed in, because even if there was no flame coming in, the high temperature near the entrance would make the spider group avoid it.
The spider swarm will definitely occupy a considerable amount of space in the cave, and for her own safety, the 'Spider Queen' will choose to leave the spider swarm outside and stay inside.
The reason why Lido did not guess that it occupied the area at the end of the lava cave, which is outside the place where monsters were born, is because Lido believed that under normal circumstances, the place where monsters were born had a strong oppressive effect on all creatures, and they would not come here to waste their energy and mental strength unless they had no choice.
This is a kind of exclusivity, based on the huge energy and self-protection program of the tree roots. It naturally carries a strong sense of oppression and even has energy recognition capabilities.
It should be said that the higher the energy value of an object, the stronger the pressure and repulsion it will experience, and the closer it is to the barrier, the greater the oppression it will experience.
And the energy level flowing in the roots is very high.
Is Lido's spiritual power high enough? Among all the creatures on the magical continent, Lido feels that she can say without any modesty that she is among the best, if not the best. But compared with it, she is at least three levels behind!
Coupled with the huge natural energy gap, all living things can be said to be equal in front of it.
Any external energy or matter that wants to enter the barrier will be strongly blocked by the barrier. Even if it temporarily breaks through the barrier, it will trigger the stress response of the tree roots, strengthen the power of the barrier, and release more dark magic elements.
In Lido's opinion, there should be no existence in the magic continent that can break the barrier. Lido can't do it, the "Spider Queen" can't do it, and it is estimated that other high-level monsters or even top monsters can't do it.
This is how normal monsters should be born. In theory, this exclusivity applies to monsters bred and born in it.
In other words, from the moment the monster cub walks out of the barrier, it will be rejected. However, since the energy value of the cub is too low, the pressure it endures is minimal.
Because of the instinct rooted in the roots of the tree to stay away from the place where the monsters were born when they were giving birth to monsters, as well as the repulsive force they felt, the monster cubs would be prompted to move towards the cub raising area instead of staying outside the barrier.
As we all know, the deeper you go into the lava cave, the higher the concentration of dark magic elements. In addition to increasing energy and raising levels by devouring other creatures and elves, monsters rely more on absorbing dark magic elements in the living environment to improve. Naturally, the higher the concentration of dark magic elements, the more beneficial it is for their growth.
If possible, wouldn't they want to live in a place with a higher concentration of dark magic elements?
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
As monsters grow, the energy contained in their bodies becomes higher and higher, and the force of rejection from the place where the monsters were born becomes stronger and stronger. When they can no longer bear it, they are forced to migrate farther away from the place where the monsters were born until a balance is restored.
In this way, they migrated out again and again, and over a long period of time, distinct nodes such as the cub rearing area, juvenile survival area, sub-adult survival area, and adult survival area were formed in the lava cave.
Of course, the higher the energy value in the body, the greater the repulsion from the tree roots, but conversely, consuming energy can offset this repulsion. The higher the energy level, the longer you can last.
Therefore, as long as you are willing to consume the energy you have accumulated with great difficulty and your body is strong enough, it is not impossible to reach the front of the barrier.
Anyway, Lido did it, and the Spider Queen did it too.
Maybe at the beginning the Spider Queen was not as deep as the cub breeding area, but as the entrance was blasted open by the Wind Style Rasengan, flames began to pour into the cave, and the spiders outside had to flee deeper into the cave. Even if they had to endure the repulsive force of the tree roots, they would not miss it as long as there was a glimmer of hope, so the Spider Queen also had to flee deeper.
In short, finally the 'Spider Queen' came to the cub rearing area, and the other three-eyed demon soul spiders crowded in the juvenile survival area in front and in the aisle leading to the cub rearing area.
It is even possible that those three-eyed demon soul spiders did not die from the burning of the flames, but the 'Spider Queen' forcibly summoned them here in order to better protect herself, so that the spider group could block the path of the flames and give herself a chance of survival. However, the spider group could not withstand the repulsive force of the place where monsters were born and died here.
Perhaps this is the reason why there is no ashes from the burning of the Demon Soul Spider in the cub breeding area.
But obviously, the Spider Queen's plan did not work out. The flames boosted by the Wind Style Rasengan explosion were very strong. After burning the three-eyed demon soul spider that blocked the aisle leading to the cub breeding area into ashes, it broke through the aisle and continued to approach where the Spider Queen was.
Therefore, the Spider Queen could only continue to retreat until she reached the barrier where the monsters were born.
As a highly intelligent creature, during the long life of the Spider Queen, Lido believed that it would never forget to explore the place where it was born. After such a long time, it should have achieved certain results.
The Spider Queen must have felt bad in front of the barrier. She must have endured the pressure and stimulated the barrier in some way, or her mental power penetrated the barrier and directly stimulated the tree roots, causing the roots to release a large amount of dark magic elements, thus preventing the spread of the flames and even suppressing the flames for a time.
But no matter how much energy there is in the roots and how high the energy level is, what is exposed in this small lava cave is just a tiny root of the entire root system. The energy that can be released in a short period of time is just the energy temporarily stored in the roots, and it is impossible to release it completely. After all, it is still limited.
The wind and fire tornado covered the entire swamp with such great momentum that the place where the monster was born released dark magic elements and fought against the wind and fire tornado for a long time, but it was finally defeated. It retained the energy to maintain the barrier and no longer released dark magic elements.
The Spider Queen saw that she was doomed, so she fought back, wanting to severely injure her enemy, which led to that mental attack. However, the counterattack was unsuccessful.
However, due to the existence of the barrier, the flames did not eventually spread to the front of the barrier where the Spider Queen was located, which gave the Spider Queen a glimmer of hope for survival.
So the Spider Queen did not continue her mental attack, but lay dormant, waiting for the flames to recede or go out on their own.
But it miscalculated!
Although the flame did not burn the Spider Queen, it continued to consume the dark magic elements and the limited oxygen in the cave, causing the temperature in the cave to rise rapidly.
The 'Spider Queen' was indeed not burned to death, but she was roasted by the flames in mid-air!
Compared to being burned to death directly, being roasted from a distance left the Spider Queen less prepared, just like a frog in boiling water. It didn't react until the last moment of its life, and it only had time to release all of its remaining mental power in an instant in order to hurt its enemy.
This is the whole process before the death of the 'Spider Queen' restored by Lido.
