A Guide to Farming in a Mobile City Chapter 230 : The Continent-scale Project of the Arachnid De

Chapter 230: The Continent-scale Project of the Arachnid Demon Civilization

“This is a despicable, opportunistic kind of expansion,” Mist spoke, enunciating each word clearly. “If you truly had the strength, why don’t you conquer an entire continent on your own like those Super Monstrous Civilizations?”

Ozuma burst into loud laughter.

“Think whatever you like. You may leave now, Lord Mist.” It waved its forelimbs. “The Arachnid Demon Civilization will never be driven by you, nor will we surrender the holand we’ve lived in for generations. Send as many high-level forces as you wish—even if your so-called Valkyrie, the leader of Natural Selection herself, cos here, it would make no difference.”

At these words, Mist’s gaze instantly turned cold.

“You want Lady Aida to act? The Arachnid Demon Civilization isn’t even qualified. Just wait—soone will soon co to deal with you.”

With that, the eting ended, and Mist departed.

As the envoy of Natural Selection, it did not board any vehicle. Instead, it spread its wings and, at unprecedented speed, shot upward into the sky.

The Antfolk emissary relied solely on its own power to easily ascend from fifteen thousand ters deep within the Underground World, returning once more to the surface.

Watching Mist’s figure fade into the distance, Ozuma extended one of its limbs and lightly tapped a nearby strand of communication silk.

As rhythmic vibrations spread outward, a gathering of Arachnid Demons sward in from all directions.

So were ministers, others generals, and so were noble elders.

Ozuma spoke concisely.

“Unfortunately, our negotiations with the Three Major Monstrous Organizations have collapsed. Their troops will soon arrive. Everyone, prepare yourselves.”

As it spoke, a fierce glint appeared in its eyes.

“Even if our Arachnid Demon Civilization perishes, no one will claim the Underground Kingdom. On the contrary, our civilization will ensure that the entire Polar Continent is buried along with us!”

To prepare for such a scenario, the Arachnid Demon Civilization had long devised a plan.

A plan equal in scale to a continent-spanning project.

Its na: “The Web of Doom.”

The plan involved injecting massive amounts of corrosive spider silk into nurous key nodes throughout the Underground Kingdom, hollowing out its interior into a fragile, honeycombed structure.

Afterward, they would fill those cavities with large quantities of explosive silk.

Moreover, the Arachnid Demons had woven high-frequency vibrating silks nearby.

All these critical nodes were connected by countless strands of silk, forming a hidden and terrifying chain reaction, like a web-shaped domino effect.

The final controller of the plan rested in King Ozuma’s hands.

Once he triggered the predetermined high-frequency vibrations, they would travel through the network of silk strands to each critical node, igniting the explosive silks and collapsing the hollow structures from within.

This would cause a chain of underground collapses. As more and more nodes failed, the entire Underground World would shatter like glass along the web’s lines.

By then, not only would the Monstrous Forces invading the Arachnid Demon Civilization be completely buried alive, but the entire Polar Continent would undergo a cataclysmic transformation.

As the Underground World of the Arachnid Demon Civilization collapsed, the surface of the continent would experience a geological apocalypse beyond any conventional earthquake or volcanic eruption.

The land would not sink all at once, but fall in massive steps, like a tower of blocks losing its supports—forming “Crustal Terraces” with vertical drops of several thousand ters.

As Ozuma envisioned that earth-shattering scene, a savage light flickered in his eyes.

Holding such a card of utter destruction in his hands gave him great comfort.

Most crucially, he fully understood the Monstrous Forces’ intentions.

They sought to control the entire Underground World—to seize this vast subterranean network beneath the Polar Continent.

However, if they used large-scale, high-level weaponry, it would cause extensive collapse and ruin the network entirely—rendering their conquest aningless.

“Yes… they will definitely hesitate. And when they do, our Arachnid Demon Civilization will have the chance to protect our Underground Kingdom!” he said passionately.

A day later, at the Ice Do Research Base.

After being converted into a temporary command center, the base had undergone major modifications. Heath and his subordinates had moved in.

Li Ye was among them.

Over the past day, he had deployed the special forces from the Tomorrow onto fifteen Level 0.5 Mobile Cities, using the facilities of the research base for command.

According to his plan, every three Mobile Cities would form one squad—five squads in total.

This way, they could avoid fighting alone.

Heath and his team, anwhile, commanded sixty-five Level 0.5 Mobile Cities.

At that mont, the Mobile Cities were queuing to enter the tunnels.

Their primary objective: to attack the previously discovered Arachnid Demon Underground City.

Heath gave a simple explanation for the operation.

Once the Arachnid Demons were eliminated, the underground city would serve as a forward base for the Mobile Cities.

The combat personnel could rest there, while supplies from the surface—such as food, freshwater, first-aid kits, and ammunition—would be continuously delivered.

“You’ve planned everything perfectly,” Li Ye said sincerely. “Then we’d best prepare for the coming battle.”

Heath rely shook his head.

“A major battle won’t be necessary.”

He gestured toward the screen before him.

On it was a Level 0.5 Mobile City equipped with Level 4 weaponry. Inside, the soldiers were calibrating a weapon.

A Level 4 ‘Geocore Rose’ Overpressure Fragntation Shell.

It was fired through the city’s main cannon, with a lethal radius of eight hundred ters.

Upon detonation, the shell’s twelve thousand steel spikes and fragnts would erupt at thousands of ters per second, forming a conical blast zone.

Each shard and needle would ricochet twenty to thirty tis within 0.1 seconds, creating absolute kill density.

Inside the shell was also thermite, which would ignite during the explosion.

The resulting fragnts would transform into a torrential rain of molten tal.

“Its destructive power… is that terrifying?” Li Ye asked in shock.

“With the Geocore Rose’s power, using it on a few Arachnid Demons would be wasteful. It’s only effective against large concentrations,” Heath replied calmly. “Just a few of these shells are enough to annihilate an entire underground city of Arachnid Demons.”

At Li Ye’s request, Heath allocated one Geocore Rose shell to each of his five squads.

“Use them sparingly. Level 4 shells like these are scarce,” Heath reminded.

“Of course,” Li Ye replied.

When the Level 0.5 Mobile Cities reached their designated positions through the network of tunnels, the Arachnid Demons inside the underground city were already fully prepared for battle.

In truth, the mont the human forces entered the Underground World, the Arachnid Demons detected them through their Magnetic Silk.

Even the humans’ exact positions had been pinpointed.

Realizing this, both Li Ye and Heath could only shake their heads.

In this regard, the Human Forces were at an overwhelming disadvantage.

Heath looked at the screen filled with the densely packed, battle-ready Arachnid Demons.

“Eliminate them all,” he said softly.

At his command, multiple Geocore Rose shells were launched toward the underground city.

In the instant they detonated, ti itself seed to freeze.

The casings of the shells blossod like tallic flowers. Tens of thousands of steel spikes and fragnts burst forth at supersonic speed, tracing golden arcs through the air—an explosion of death and light.

Before the foremost Arachnid Demons could even react, their hardened carapaces were pierced; their bodies and armor shattered like brittle glass. Their yellow-green ichor vaporized in the heat before it could even splatter.

The storm of tal expanded in a perfect cone. Wherever it passed—Arachnid Demons, stone walls, and underground structures alike—everything was sliced into fragnts just a few centiters wide.

Li Ye saw with his own eyes several Arachnid Demons attempting to fight back, but in the next instant, their bodies were severed midair by the tallic tempest.

Muscle fibers, veins, shards of shell—

Everything hung briefly suspended in the air before falling like rain.

Then, as the thermite within the shells ignited, the Arachnid Demons’ true nightmare began.

The raging tallic storm ignited completely.

In an instant, a rain of fire poured over the entire underground city.

The steel needles and shrapnel lted mid-bounce, turning into millions of tiny steel beads that splashed across ceilings, walls, and floors—painting a boiling abstract mural.

The Arachnid Demons scread in agony, watching their carapaces lt like wax.

They wanted to flee, yet there was nowhere to run.

The Level 0.5 Mobile Cities occupied all tunnel entrances, pouring relentless firepower upon the Arachnid Demons.

After a long while, everything fell silent once more.

Thousands of Arachnid Demons had been slaughtered, leaving only a smoldering underground city with scattered embers flickering in the dark.

Heath nodded, then issued his order.

“Clean this place up. It will beco our forward base.”

Li Ye, however, could not take his eyes off the Arachnid Demons’ corpses.

He turned toward Heath, hesitating to speak.

After working together for so long, Heath naturally understood what Li Ye ant.

After all, these were the corpses of thousands of Level 3 monsters—their loot would surely be bountiful.

“The resources dropped by the monsters must be submitted to the higher-ups,” Heath said.

Yet, considering that the Tomorrow Alliance had joined this campaign to help, he allowed Li Ye to pick up a few things freely.

With permission granted, Li Ye imdiately ordered the special forces to search the Arachnid Demons’ corpses.

“Iron ore, fabric, and crystal coins don’t matter. What I really want are so Level 3 blueprints!”

Two minutes later, a special forces mber held a blueprint up to the cara.

Li Ye looked closely and saw that it was a component for a Level 3 Drone’s Mini Missile Launcher.

“Not bad at all!” His eyes lit up.

Even Heath showed a flicker of surprise.

“This one’s quite good—I’m a little envious myself,” he said.

Li Ye thought he was joking.

After all, as a World-class Organization, the Apocalypse Sect naturally possessed an abundance of resources; they wouldn’t care for such small items.

As the two spoke, another special forces mber ca to the cara with another Level 3 item.

Li Ye focused his gaze and saw that it was a packet of Level 3 crop seeds.

【Item Na: Erald Shadow Vine】

【Level: 3】

【Attached Effects: 1. Air Purification Efficiency 45% 2. Environntal Noise Reduction −30%】

“Not bad,” he thought.

Soon after, the special forces found a Level 3 Vehicle Upgrade Blueprint.

Li Ye ordered one of the soldiers to return to the surface imdiately and deliver the two blueprints and the crop seeds.

Then, he instructed the special forces to stop picking up items.

For him, these finds were already enough. After all, the loot rightfully belonged to the Human Forces—continuing to collect more would be excessive.

According to Li Ye’s plan, the fifteen Level 0.5 Mobile Cities would not delve deeper into the Arachnid Demon Kingdom.

Instead, they would use the newly captured forward base as their stronghold, hunting scattered Arachnid Demons in the vicinity.

They aid to gather more resources and, hopefully, obtain additional Level 3 blueprints.

Just then, Li Ye suddenly realized sothing and turned to Heath.

“Archbishop Heath, how do you plan to deploy your sixty-five Mobile Cities?”

“We’ll advance all the way—to the Arachnid Demon Civilization’s capital itself,” Heath replied.

Li Ye couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

He knew full well how deep the Arachnid Demon Civilization’s capital lay—over fifteen thousand ters!

He had to admit, Heath’s answer carried an impressive air of iron resolve.

At that mont, a Disciplinary Deacon hurried over.

“Lord Heath, the upper echelons have sent an urgent intelligence update,” he said, handing Heath a docunt.

Heath took it, and his expression changed slightly as he read.

“The Monstrous Forces have dispatched multiple Monstrous Civilizations to attack the Arachnid Demon Civilization? Could it be that they aren’t united after all?”

Li Ye nodded silently.

At last, the Human Forces understood—the situation in the Underground World had turned into a chaotic three-way war.

“The Blood Clan Civilization, the Werewolf Civilization, the Ghoul Civilization, and even the Wind Elent Civilization…”

Heath read aloud, his expression growing more solemn.

“They’re certainly not here with good intentions.”

Just then, Lin i and Oleg approached, imdiately drawn by Heath’s words.

“This ti, the Monstrous Forces even deployed an Elent Civilization?” Oleg said in surprise.

“The Wind Elent Civilization belongs to Natural Selection’s faction,” Lin i explained. “Their combat strength is formidable—and extrely troubleso to handle.”

Li Ye then asked,

“Professor Lin, what level is the Wind Elent Civilization?”

“Level 4,” Lin i replied. “Not only the Wind Elent Civilization—all Elent Civilizations start at Level 4.”

“In that case, how should we fight against such civilizations?”

Based on his reasoning, the Fire Elent Civilization and Wind Elent Civilization likely had forms made of fla and air currents.

That would make them extrely difficult to deal with.

Lin i spoke softly.

“Energy.”

“What did you say?” Li Ye was startled.

“The monsters of Elent Civilizations rely on their internal biological energy to function,” Lin i said clearly. “So, to fight them, you must find ways to drain or deplete that energy—or use energy-based weapons against them.”

Li Ye thought about it carefully and found her reasoning sound.

For instance, fire elents could be extinguished by water, but wind elents were another matter entirely—wind had no tangible form.

Conventional bullets and shells would be completely ineffective.

“The higher their level, the stranger and more inexplicable these Monstrous Civilizations beco,” he thought silently.
