As the the portal disappeared, another telepathic message was sent to him.
'Will my broods be fine?' the Matriarch asked.
'Yes, there is nothing that will harm them, as long as they did not bother the other inhabitants,' Alros add as an afterthought.
'In that case, should I enter this place of yours?' she asked.
'I would like to ask you several questions first,' he replied.
'Ask away,' the incubus could tell she is becoming slightly impatient. Being split from her broods in a new place must worried her greatly.
'Do you know the whereabouts of the Lamia and Golem?' while the latter did not invoke anything out of them, the former caused shriek, one filled with hatred to come out from the Matriarch.
'Why are you asking?' even with telepathy, Alros could tell her tone is cold as ice.
'Because I am going to do to them what I did to you,' at the moment, Alros could tell the monster looked at him in disgust.
'And why would you do that to the disgusting half-snake?' she asked again.
While Alros had been lenient with them, he should remind them of the status between the two of them, 'You don't get to ask any more question,' demonic aura exude from him as he looked at the monster with a stern gaze.
'My reason is for me to know. And if you try to do anything inside my home, I would show you no mercy,' the other Arachne cowered at his might. The Matriarch is at a much better condition, though not by much.
Seeing them frightened enough, he asked again, 'Where are the Lamia and Golem?' this time, the Matriarch answered the question.
Alros decide if he want to ask the Matriarch, he need to specify about which place he want to go. A vague comment to head south had not been that helpful, all thing consider. Still, it is the best chance he got in finding the Lamia.
The only thing he confirmed from the Matriarch is the fact Lamia possess similar might to the Matriarch's Swarms, or maybe even stronger. After all, if the battle usually end up in stalemate, both sides need to be in similar strength or it won't be possible.
"Though, there is a lot of tunnels that lead to the south," he muttered. As he did not plan on getting lost inside the tunnels, he call upon his scouts and have them look around first.
This time, he is a bit bolder with the number, sending nearly 30 clones along with 200 Demonic Goblins. With such large numbers, it would be easier or at least, the chance of finding the female monsters is more likely.
After sending his scout ahead, the incubus opt to enter the system space, to see if the Spider's Swarm had been properly integrated or not.

'Looks like you have gotten used to everything,' he told the Matriarch. He had to buy 6 Cave Lairs to accommodate all of the spiders, but it is a worthwhile in having extra cannon fodder when needed.
'Yes, this place is expansive,' she replied, looking at her broods getting used to their new homes. While they are still apprehensive, they have gotten use to the system space somewhat and not antagonize the other monsters whenever they come out of their Lairs.
Though, they almost attack the other humans if not for one of the Lizardmen stopping them. So, they learn quickly the humans are not food, at least not these humans. Considering spiders only eat live prey, he plan to use the Growth Tube to grow the needed amount of human.
The only problem would be how much Growth Tube he would need to allocate to give them enough food, and how to get the genetic materials. While getting the latter is easier, it is also hard as the amount needed will not be small.
And for the former, he might need to use all his Growth Tube to provide all the food for the spiders, as they don't eat the meat that his other monsters can.
'I probably need to get some more Growth Tube,' he thought before taking his leave, letting the Swarm get accustomed to the system space.
"Now then, lets have some fun," in his bedroom, squeals and later moans echoed throughout the room. It is a very good thing that all the bedrooms are soundproof, or getting some sleep would be nigh impossible.
