YM778.TV Chapter 96: Sections of Outer and Inner Part
As for the outer part, Alros did not split them into sections based on habitats, as it is mostly the same. Instead, he divide them by the nearest trance point. While anyone could ter from any part of the border, there is several checkpoint with outposts made out of stones and bricks to make it easy to resupply and rest in case the Betrum Nation launched an expedition.
There are 8 trance point, which he named to 8, being the easternmost trance point while the 8 is opposite of that.
Most of the bugs at the differt sections at the outer part are the same, with section 3 having the largest population of Gre Caterpillar and section 7 having the largest number of Thread Spider, to the point most advturers named it Spider Entrance.
As for the inner part, he divided them by the cardinal directions to form 5 major sections. Inside them, there would be some minor sections, depding on the terrains.
For the East Section, there are minor sections, aptly named Water Terrain Section and Misty Forest Section.
The former is, as the name implied, is filled with lakes and rivers, with ponds, streams and springs filling the gap betwe the lakes and rivers. It is filled with a lot of water bugs, from water striders, diving beetles and spiders to mosquitoes, and dragonflies.
He also found three priority target, Energy-Draining Mosquito, Mana-Draining Leech and Giant Dragonfly, all three bugs would make perfect additions into his force. The first two for it\'s draining ability, while the latter can be used as suicide bombers as well as possible becoming this world equivalt of fighter planes.
As for the Misty Forest Section, it is filled with one species of arachnid, spiders. With the most predominant one being Mist Spider. There are other species as well, from Mist Hunting Beetle to Water Blade Mantis. Unfortunately, there are no priorities, only \'added if there is space\' bugs.
Th, there is the North Section. It is the smallest out of them all and also the safest of the inner part section, having most of it bordering the outer part.
Thought, it do have one section, though it is named not because of the terrains, but because of the abundant of one species, namely Giant Gold Bee.
There is a huge colony of Giant Gold Bee, and also it is where the gatherers mostly go for honey. He find them doing to for goof reason, as the honey from the bee is delicious, though he would not put them at the priority. Still, he did put them at the second best, \'yes, if there is space left,\'.
Aside from the colony of Giant Gold Bee, there is also and abundant of flower fields as well as fruit trees in the area, no doubt the presce of the Giant Gold Bee assisted a lot with such thing.
Th, there is the West Section, appropriately nicknamed by him as the Elevation Section. The number of hills and small mountains in the area make it one of the hardest to traverse, mostly because the stamina needed to climb such thing.
From there, there are three sections; Forest Hills Section, Rocky Mountain Sections, and Grassy Hills Sections. The former being filled with trees that make it near impossible to traverse through, the rocky mountains having very few insects, and most of which did not really have any specialties that make it worth targeting, and the last one being the easiest to walk through.
Aside from him finding how many stamina he need to climb each hills and mountains, there is nothing special about the West Section, aside from maybe some ants at the Rocky Mountain Sections and probably the annoying cicadas and crickets at the Forest Hills Section.
There is no priority though he is tempted on making the cicada and crickets priority, in being exterminated that is.
Th, there is the Cter Section. It is the only section with no minor section, on the account that there is no differce in each section, as it is filled with trees, and the biggest ones in an area would have a dominant colony ruling it.
As for the colonies, it either ants or termites at the bottom. At the top, there is only wasps, as bees did not dare to go there. Though there is colonies of beetles, butterflies and other insects as well, living far from the territory of the ants and wasps.
It is also the section with the most priority species, numbering a staggering 5. All of which formed a colony of their own. The target are Flame Ant, Wood Termite, Forest Wasp, Black Steel Beetle, and Illusion Butterfly.
All of which would be a great force multiplier to his force and would make it stronger.
Th, there is the South Section, the closest to the core and the last place he explored, though he did check it several time wh he have the chance before he did a full exploration.
There are two minor sections, the Dark Forest and Web Area, the former looking like a dead forest while the former, while healthy, have an unhealthy amount of spiders, ough to sd an arachnophobic into a coma.
The Dark Forest Section do have bugs that able to drain ergy and mana, as well causing lethargy and paralysis through their poison. In which he make some of it his priority.
The former being Mana-Draining Tick, while the later are Gold Zapping Beetle and Giant Earth Wasp, the former able to cause paralysis while the later cause the target to become lethargic as it sadisticly chase it and wait until it drop before feasting on it still alive target, and yes, he had se it before.
As for the Web Section, there are two spider species that he had interest on; Draining Web Spider, and Purple Hunting Spider, the former create web that slowly sap everything, from ergy, mana to the will to live, until there is nothing left. The later is a typical jumping spider, except bigger and hunt a lot bigger things.
All in all, he find the exploration to be a great success, and he planned to get all of the target, though he should limit the number of lairs. After all, he is going to go to other Danger Zone as well. And while he can upgrade the system space, he will only do it one more time, to create a hard limit for him.
