Chapter 16

‘Alpeon, where are the spiders?’

I visited the termite hill first thing in the morning. The spiders were definitely supposed to be here according to my ownership view, but despite going to the spider’s allocated chamber, they were nowhere to be found.

‘They don’t like termites, so they hide in their cocoons.’

It seemed like they were within the cocoons which were fixed against the wall. Even if I had the ability to view statuses, I wasn’t able to locate them.

The ability of Legol, one of the three spiders, was a skill which blocked my ownership view.

‘That’s a pretty useful skill.’

‘Indeed, a desirable power.’

‘Alpeon, could you please bring over the three special one’s you mentioned yesterday?’

‘They will arrive soon.’

I approached Cocoons.

‘Legol, Arin, Hattan, show your faces.’

‘Forgive us Lord, we have no faces’

Are these kids serious, quite cheeky aren’t they? Time to put them in their place.

I gave one of the cocoons a hard poke.

Much to my surprise, they were able to break down the door on the first try. It seemed like their cooperation had already improved somewhat, making me feel proud.

‘Let’s head down.’

I went down the staircase followed by my six insects, unsure as to what we would encounter next.
