Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Luo Xuan led his troops out of the territory; he needed to observe and confirm the condition of the kobolds and spider swarm.

First, at the kobold camp, the kobolds appear even more ferocious due to the Blood Moon.

The good news is that the originally tight ten-man formation has become looser, and occasionally you can even see the kobolds fighting each other.

Luo Xuan had some new ideas about the kobolds, but he would have to wait until he finished observing the forest to the east before he could make a decision.

When Luo Xuan arrived near the forest, he had already seen many spider monsters scattered around the perimeter.

"It seems the forum posts are right; if this continues, it could really pose a danger to our territory."

Without saying a word, Luo Xuan immediately led his troops to begin the cleanup.

Perhaps influenced by the blood moon, the spider monsters all frantically pounced on Azathoth.

They didn't use skills like spider silk or venom; they simply crawled over and bit Azathoth, which actually reduced the pressure on Azathoth.

"Why do they all seem to have lost their minds?"

Although these monsters weren't very intelligent before, they were still different from their current completely brainless state.

Luo Xuan didn't dwell on it and continued to have his troops clear out the spiders.

After the spider monsters scattered, their numbers in the forest were relatively less dense, and Luo Xuan led his troops to gradually clear a path into the forest.

Half an hour later, under the protection of the troops, Luo Xuan finally stepped into the forest for the first time.

Once inside the forest, the light dimmed considerably, and with spider silk and webs everywhere, visibility was extremely poor.

Under these circumstances, a faint green light flickered in the distance not far in front of Luo Xuan's vision.

Just like when he first learned about the territory's boundaries and the lord's hall.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xuan immediately focused his attention and quickly obtained the information he wanted.

[Level 1 Resource Point: Wood]: Gain 10 units of wood resources per day after capturing it.

The introduction is simple, but the product itself is not.

This was the first time Luo Xuan had ever seen a resource point in all the time he had been in the game.

He hadn't forgotten that upgrading a territory required 500 units of wood.

Although Luo Xuan does not plan to upgrade his territory for the time being, resources are always a good thing.

Now that they've encountered each other, Luo Xuan definitely wants to try to occupy it, since resources are given on a time-based basis, and the sooner he occupies it, the faster he'll profit.

It feels like every night or day is a huge loss.

However, when Luo Xuan looked near the lumber resource point, several terrifying spider monsters the size of millstones, as black as ink, quickly calmed him down and dispelled this unrealistic idea.

Luo Xuan had seen information about resource points when he browsed forums before.

These kinds of resource points in the wild can't just be occupied; they have to be defended.

Judging from the location of this resource point, Luo Xuan cannot securely occupy it without clearing out the surrounding spiders.

Having calmed down, Luo Xuan did not lead his troops to venture deeper into the forest, but instead slowly retreated along the path they had come from.

Now that he knew there was a resource point here, Luo Xuan was even more motivated to wipe out the spiders.

The way back was not easy either. Although it had been cleared when it came in, there were many more spider monsters along the way.

Luo Xuan had no doubt that if they stayed in the forest any longer, the way out would likely have to be cleared all over again.

After leaving the forest, Luo Xuan took Azathoth to the stream to speed up the healing process, while he sent Gray Wolf to check the beaches to the west and south.

Although there had been no problems before, Luo Xuan couldn't guarantee that things would remain as peaceful as before under the Blood Moon, so he still had to send Gray Wolf to check.

While waiting for Azathoth to recover, Luo Xuan was also constantly thinking about how to break the current predicament in his territory.

He definitely couldn't accept being trapped here any longer, so he was bound to fight his way out.

However, the presence of groups of wild monsters to the north and east forced Luo Xuan to slow down.

"Is there any way to quickly eliminate the kobolds and spider swarms?"

This was a problem that had been troubling Luo Xuan. Originally, he could only quietly clear out wild monsters to accumulate materials for Azathoth's evolution.

However, with the arrival of the blood moon, Luo Xuan seemed to see a new possibility.

Through previous observations and interactions, Luo Xuan has determined that under the Blood Moon, while wild monsters will be stronger, their sanity will also decrease accordingly.

It's somewhat similar to the classic Berserk buff of the Orcs, which increases attack but decreases intelligence.

So, a bold idea came to Luo Xuan's mind—could he make the kobolds and forest spiders fight each other?

In this way, regardless of whether the kobolds or the forest spiders win in the end, Luo Xuan will not lose.

Moreover, he could also lead his troops to the sidelines to wait for an opportunity to strike and reap the benefits.

However, while the idea is good, putting it into practice is quite difficult.

The first thing is the distance between the two.

Secondly, even if a fight breaks out, it will only be a small-scale conflict. How can we get them to come out in full force?

Luo Xuan's train of thought was temporarily blocked, so he had to put the plan on hold for the time being.

Before long, Azathoth had recovered.

Luo Xuan instructed it to lead four spiders to the edge of the forest to eliminate the spider monster.

After a while, the gray wolf returned and found no problems.

Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't bad news.

Luo Xuan then led the gray wolf northward, wanting to observe further and hopefully find a way to resolve the problem.

The kobold camp under the blood moon appeared much more chaotic than a few days ago, and the patrol teams were no longer orderly.

After a long period of observation, Luo Xuan found nothing of value.

When they returned to the camp with the gray wolves, Azathoth had already returned first.

All four spiders sustained injuries of varying degrees. Azathoth, as the main force, took the most damage and has almost fully recovered.

"Gurgle~"

Azathoth handed the unit card he had found to Luo Xuan.

"Ha, Azathoth, you can actually pick things up? That's great!" Luo Xuan praised.

He was somewhat surprised. Although Azathoth had picked it up at the beginning, Luo Xuan hadn't really noticed it then and had overlooked it.

In this way, Luo Xuan has 6 cards in his backpack, plus the four spiders he has already summoned, bringing the total to double digits.

There are only 6 more materials needed for Azathoth's next evolution.

It will be at most a week, not too long.

Luo Xuan planned to lay low for a while longer, and make a decision after Azathoth evolved again.

With this in mind, Luo Xuan put Azathoth in charge of the territory and sent troops to wipe out the spiders.
