Chapter 119: Reinforcements
With the Lance Beetle stomping around and gathering attention, the number of Crystal Spiders that still cared about breaching the gap in front of Sage were few. Sage threw a Green Revitalizing Pill into his mouth to speed his Qi recovery while also holding a Spirit Stone in each hand to restore his energy. Most of the energy for the growth of the Sacred Banyans came from the surroundings, but with all the changes and shaping hed done it had drained him quite quickly. His energy had dropped to nearly a quarter of his maximum, which was barely enough to activate the massive formation plate for a few minutes. So far, it didnt seem like hed need to use it, but that didnt mean he would want to put himself into a vulnerable position.
When a Spider rushed into the doorway, Sages Twin Soul would ambush it, knocking it senseless and turning it into a barrier. The Spiders to the rear had to climb over it and skitter up the walls, the slower pace making them into easier targets for Sages fists. Smashing back the first Spider, two more of them got entangled by roots, holding them in place as Sage smashed their heads in. With the doorway clogged up by Crystal Spider bodies, it became even easier to catch the Spiders off guard. Thinking things were completely in hand, Sage frowned when he noticed that the Charming Lance Beetle had at least a dozen Crystal Spiders climbing all over it. It tried to roll on the ground to smash the spiders on its back, but that gave the surrounding spiders more time to climb onto it. A dozen were smashed, but fifteen of them climbed onto the Beetles back.
With the situation looking dangerous, Sage frowned and gave up one of his safeguards. Drawing in a deep breath, Sage braced his feet and released a full powered burst of Divine Breath. He used up nearly half of his compressed air store to unleash a gust of wind at hurricane force levels. A shallow chasm sliced its way into the crystalline ground in front of him, utterly destroying every Spider in its path and only barely dissipating by the time it smashed against the outer wall of Banyan trees, slashing up the vines and scattering leaves into the area. Cursing inwardly at opening a way for them to escape, Sage stepped out of the inner tree wall and released all of his fighting insects.
A Warp Worm, Charming Lance Beetle, Steel Silk Centipede, and three Emerald Dragonflies flew out of his Beast Bag. Sage hit each of them with a small Scent Marker before releasing another of the aggressive markers for them to know that it was time to fight. Sage personally controlled the Warp Worm that he was bonded with, sending it over to clear away the Spiders that were swarming on the back of the first Charming Lance Beetle. After the Beetles back was clear, the influx of giant bugs turned the area into a full on battlefield. Previously, the Spiders had only a pair of targets and could swarm rapidly. Now, with a half-dozen more enemies they were spread thin and within ten minutes every last Crystal Spider had been defeated.
Ahh wouldnt it be nice to have such an army around all the time.
Shaking his head, Sage was sure such a horde would be capable of massive destruction. It was just too bad that this horde would be far too difficult to control. Worse yet, he didnt have enough space to carry them all so theyd have to wander around in the open. With so many on the loose hed barely be able to keep them all contained let alone keep them on task. Hed just end up releasing huge bugs into the wild to cause havoc among the common folk. The only reason he dared to do so here was because the whole forest was locked inside a trap array. Rocky was underground and carrying a scent marker, the same as he was. All he had to do was mark them with friendly scents and teach them a few commands when he was hatching them.
Now that everything was ready, there was just one last step. Going to the largest pile of remaining Crystal Spider corpses, Sage marked them with an enemy scent and then threw the bodies into the ground of insects so they could all learn what their enemy was. With that complete, Sage kept a few of each bug around with him inside the tree wall before sending the rest out to hunt. A Lance Beetle sat over top of him like an armored building, while Sage was linked with another Lance Beetle he was using as a commander. The Charming Lance Beetle wasnt agile in the air, but it was still plenty fast and heavily armored. In addition, it could use pheromones and scents to make itself seem friendly to other bugs.
Sage took advantage of this ability and when he was raising all the bugs he trained them to recognize some of the scents of the Lance Beetle as scent markers. He made sure to use scents that werent used by the Lance Beetles normally as he didnt want the other Beetles confusing his control. As it was now, he kept himself within the energy gathering array, ready to create more reinforcements. At the same time the army of bugs was unleashed into the purple crystal forest, rushing about to hunt the spiders. Sage watched through the Commander Lance Beetles eyes, ready to use scent markers to gather the bugs when or where it was needed.
