Jacob grimly watched over ten phantom spiders crawling toward him as he remembered a piece of important information about the Phantom Spiders.
They were predators who lived in colonies and also used cannibalism to sustain themselves when there was no prey. The weak Phantom Spiders would become nutrition for strong Phantom Spiders, and the vicious cycle would continue.
The Queen Phantom Spider was the same as she ate her children to make even more of them like an endless food supply.
Jacob never thought there would be a colony of Phantom Spiders in this underground passage, and they were probably here for a long time.
Now that a fresh prey like him had appeared, it would naturally draw these spiders toward him like a beckon in darkness.
Lastly, Jacob knew the Phantom Spider Queen had to be an extraordinary being, and she was probably hiding while controlling these Phantom Spiders to exhaust him before striking.
