Chapter 87: The Hunters Arrive
"Ahhh...I can't get enough of this...feeling."
My head was spinning, my heart was beating fast. I was panting like a bitch in heat. The sensation of the eggs traveling through my ovipositor was truly addictive.
"Fuck..this is so damn hot!.... Every...single...time" I moaned, staring down at a female gnoll; both of her holes were filled with my eggs.
For two days, I had been doing nothing but breeding, sleeping, and hunting for more holes to breed.
Oh, and eating, of course.
"Ahhh...that was a great ride," I sighed in satisfaction, pulling my ovipositor out of her ass. "You can go back now."
The female gnoll looked at me with lust and desire in her eyes. She was shaking with need and want; her body craved more of my eggs inside her.
Through constant impregnation, the female gnolls had developed an addiction to my eggs; they loved the feeling of being full and impregnated.
Their minds were literally broken to the point where they began seeking my tentacle dick on their own. As for the males, I kept none alive, always hatching the eggs inside them. The reason was simple.
Males can take up to four or five eggs inside them without… Well, you know, exploding like a balloon. And please don't ask me how I know that, okay?
But females can take double that number, which meant more spiders for me. However, the spiders that hatch inside the males were much stronger.
The gnolls I kidnapped lacked magic, so my offspring didn't inherit any magical abilities beyond an increased size and a change in color to match the male gnolls' fur.
"Take her to the chamber," I commanded two of my warriors to carry the female back into one of the newly dug holes in the cave, thanks to my spiders.
My army grew, reaching a total of one hundred and ten spiders, sixty warriors, and fifty rangers. Twenty of them were from 'Self-impregnation.' I was able to give birth to ten more when I leveled up.
Ah! Speaking of leveling, my worst fear had not come to pass. I was torn between using the gnolls for breeding or slaying them for XP, but fortunately, I didn't have to choose. When the first eggs hatched inside a male, I received XP when he died from being eaten alive.
Additionally, when I was trying to catch some gnolls, one male actually put up a decent fight against three spider warriors. I allowed the fight to happen since it was a good opportunity to test the strength of my spiders.
Unfortunately, I was so invested in watching the fight that I forgot to command my spiders to capture the gnolls alive, resulting in the death of the gnoll at the hands, or rather, the blade-legs of one of my warriors.
That's when I discovered something amazing. I received the full XP from the kill.
Apparently, my spiders can't level up, so all the XP comes to me instead. And that was FUCKING AWESOME!
I could do literally nothing and still grow stronger. All I had to do was continue increasing our numbers, which made perfect sense to me. I'm a spider queen, and queens, regardless of species, don't usually fight on the front lines; they have their offspring to do that for them.

...
Thanks to my lovely spiders, I leveled up quite a lot, and my status improved as well especially my mana and stamina. Two new skills were unlocked, one at level five and the other at level ten.
'Regeneration' is a self-explanatory skill; it slowly heals my injuries, and its effects extend to my spiders as well.
A passive AOE heal.
'Acid Spray' is a ranged attack skill that allows me to shoot acid from my mouth, similar to the rangers. I tested it, and the acid could melt solid rock in mere seconds.
Tink! Tink!
"Hmm? Oh, you're back?" I smiled, seeing my favorite little spiders return with a female gnoll in tow.
"Well done," I praised them, tossing them some of the boar meat.
I watched as my cute little spiders ate their meat happily, a smile creeping onto my spider face. These little ones were the first I gave birth to.
"Take her inside," I ordered, observing as they dragged the unconscious gnoll to a section of the cave that served as a makeshift prison.
After spending some time observing the gnoll village, I don't know why, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Like I'm not in a real place. Don't get me wrong, everything around me was real, but the way the gnolls live, hunt, etc. was just a little too... perfect, almost artificial as if someone created a place and decided to put creatures and make them live a particular life.
Even when I kidnapped their kin, they would go on alert, weapons drawn, and the village would be locked down for exactly thirty minutes before suddenly returning to normal as if they forgot why they were on alert in the first place. It was really weird.
Plus, they never came close to my nest or attacked it, despite knowing that spiders were the ones abducting their people.
I wasn't complaining about this. On the contrary, I was very happy with them staying the hell away from my nest. My only hope was that the remaining five days would pass as peacefully as the previous two.
[Warning]
Fuck...me and my big mouth.
"What's happening?" I asked, opening the system's notification.
[Warning!]
[The Hunters have invaded the dungeon.]
"Hunters?" I read aloud. "Are they a type of monster or something else entirely?"
As if answering my question, another window popped up.
[The Hunters: This term refers to any creature that invades the dungeon from the outside. They may have different motives for entering the dungeon, but they share one common goal.]
[To Slay the dungeon Boss and close the dungeon.]
"Fuck me," I cursed, resisting the urge to slam my head against the wall. Just when I thought everything was going smoothly, something had to come and ruin it.
"Sigh...how many hunters?" I asked, hoping for a response.
[Fifteen]
[You have the option to confront the hunters directly or evade and buy time.]
[Keep in mind that hunters are the natural enemy of the dungeon boss. They will relentlessly pursue your demise until one of you falls.]
"Great....Just great!" I groaned in frustration, slamming my spider legs on the cave floor. "What should I do?"
The most logical option was to hide and stall for time. Slaying the hunters wasn't necessary to complete the trial. But come on! I'm Morgana; I don't run away with my tail between my legs, or in this case, a tentacle dick.
I FIGHT! I KILL! OR I DIE TRYING!
"..."
Drawing a deep breath, I closed my eight eyes and transferred my consciousness to one of the spiders positioned outside.
"Now let's go and take a look at our dear guests."
=============
"Greetings, Team Blue. I'm Olivia Harper, and I'll be your guide through the dungeon," a young woman spoke with a warm smile.
She was in her mid-thirties, wearing a tight black full-body suit. Her body was well-toned, with a decent chest size, and her face was beautiful, with honey-colored eyes and brown hair tied in a ponytail.
"Greetings, Miss Harper," I greeted her back with a warm smile.
"Hello, Jane. How are you doing?" Miss Harper approached and gently pinched my cheek. "You haven't visited me in a while."
"Ahh...I'm sorry, Miss Harper. I've been busy with school and family matters," I replied, feeling a bit embarrassed by her action.
"Hahaha, it's alright. I understand," She laughed, releasing my cheeks.
Miss Harper was one of my teachers and the one I felt closest to. She had taught me many things and helped me in numerous ways, even going against the principal and my family to secure me a place in the Hunter's Academy.
I'm forever grateful to her, and the fact that she was one of Grandma's students in the past only made my admiration toward her grow.
"So...are you guys ready?" She asked, walking towards the entrance of the dungeon.
"Yes, ma'am!" We exclaimed in unison, following closely behind her.
"Alright, now listen up," she said, turning around to face us. "Once we're inside, stay alert at all times, and NO wandering off alone. Got that?" She finished her sentence with a stern look at Alex.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Good, now let's move."
Stepping into the giant blue portal, the world around us shifted from a clear sky to a giant dark forest.
"Welcome to your first dungeon raid," Olivia smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"This place is huge," Ella said, looking around in awe.
The forest was dense with tall trees and other vegetation. The air was fresh and humid, but don't be fooled by the beauty; the visibility was limited, and behind every rock, bush, or tree could be a monster waiting to strike.
"Ella, don't wander off," Sarah scolded her, noticing that she had walked a few steps ahead.
"Sorry," Ella replied, rejoining the group.
"Alright, team. This is your first raid," Miss Harper continued. "I'll be monitoring your progress and offering protection if needed, but remember, each time I intervene, points will be deducted."
"Now, let's see what you're made of."
