Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Luo Xuan had three spider cards that Azathoth had recently acquired in his backpack.

Luo Xuan originally didn't plan to use it, but now it seems he has no choice but to.

Just as Luo Xuan was preparing to use his unit cards to protect himself as he retreated from the forest, a wave sound was rapidly approaching from behind.

Luo Xuan was no stranger to the voice; he had heard it many times before.

That's the sound of Azathoth using the waves!

Luo Xuan quickly turned around and saw Azathoth, who had transformed into a torrent of elements, rapidly approaching.

The torrent bypassed Luo Xuan, clearing out a few blind spiders before transforming back into its water elemental form.

Standing nearly two meters tall, the powerful and imposing water elemental warrior gave Luo Xuan a strong sense of security.

"Gurgle!"

Azathoth stretched out his hand, and surprisingly, he was holding a troop card of a demonized spider.

"Well done!"

Luo Xuan was surprised that Azathoth had managed to kill a demonized spider in such a short time.

However, precisely because of this, Azathoth was not in good condition at the moment, and the remaining demonic spiders were chasing after him like madmen.

It was only thanks to Azathoth's ability to break through the encirclement with his wave-pounding power that he was able to escape easily. Otherwise, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to deal with the four berserk spiders.

Even so, Luo Xuan still saw a large amount of venom and some spider webs that were torn but still stuck together on Azathoth's body.

But escaping is the priority right now; there's no time to worry about such details.

With Azathoth leading the way, Luo Xuan ran out of the forest almost without stopping.

The two had barely left the forest when four demonic spiders caught up with them.

However, they hesitated for a while at the edge of the forest, then let out a few resentful howls at Azathoth before returning to the depths of the forest.

"Phew, we're safe now!"

Seeing that there was no danger, Luo Xuan slumped to the ground without any regard for appearances.

The rare adventure and excitement caused Luo Xuan's adrenaline to surge rapidly, and the moment he was out of danger, he felt sore all over.

"This game is amazing. Not only is death synchronized, but even the soreness after exercise can be synchronized."

Luo Xuan sighed.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Luo Xuan got up and led Azathoth to the stream at the edge of the territory, which was now Azathoth's exclusive resting area.

Luo Xuan stood on the bank, watching Azathoth recover rapidly in the stream, the venom and spider webs on its body quickly washed away by the water.

Only then did Luo Xuan have time to take out the Spider Card that Azathoth had brought back.

Compared to the low-level spiders that were previously used as materials, the demonized spiders that this card can summon are already quite good units.

Luo Xuan currently had 4 points of leadership left, so he didn't hesitate to use the card to summon the demonized spider.

Compared to the one Luo Xuan had seen in the forest before, the newly summoned demon spider was not only smaller in size, but its stats were also somewhat reduced.

[Unit Type]: Demonized Spider

Race: Demon

[Level]: Tier 1, Level 1

[Quality]: Rare Blue

[Type]: Infantry

[Life]: 280

[Physical Attack]: 10-12

[Physical Defense]: 6

[Magic Attack]: 10-12

[Magic Defense]: 6

[Speed]: Fast

[Skills]: Venomous Spray, Spider Web Entanglement

[Demand Statistics Value]: 4

Luo Xuan glanced at the panel briefly, focusing on the Demon Spider's skills.

Both [Venom Spray] and [Web Entanglement] are active skills. The former can poison enemies, causing them to lose health continuously.

The latter is a special control skill that can slow down enemies using spider webs. What's special is that this spider web slowing effect can be stacked.

In other words, if you don't break free from the spider web at the beginning, the web will only grow larger and larger, and you'll have even less chance to escape.

After reviewing the Demon Spider's stats, Luo Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

He now has Azathoth as a sharp weapon, and the Spider can perfectly complement and assist Azathoth in battle.

Considering the faction of the Demon Spider race, Luo Xuan believed it was worth nurturing, so he planned to give it a name like Azathoth.

"Spider, demon, hmm~" Luo Xuan pondered for a moment, "From now on, you'll be called Lilith."

After Luo Xuan finished speaking, the demon spider didn't react much and remained lying there blankly.

Seeing this, Luo Xuan was a little confused. He remembered that Azathoth was not named like this.

"Could it be an idiot?" Luo Xuan thought of the "demonized" prefix on the Demon Spider and combined it with some film and television materials he had seen before.

After villains are corrupted by demonic energy, their strength increases dramatically, but their irrationality also plummets—a classic trope in film and television.

Otherwise, how could the protagonist win if he was both strong and smart?

Luo Xuan did some random analysis and felt he had found the reason.

Luo Xuan was a little disappointed, but it wasn't too bad.

However, Luo Xuan overlooked one thing: Azathoth had already completed the [Endless Transformation] evolution.

After sitting by the stream for a while, and waiting for Azathoth to fully recover, Luo Xuan led them north.

The gray wolf had been monitoring the kobold camp, but there had been no news for a long time, so Luo Xuan decided to go and check it out himself.

The kobold camp now poses far less of a danger to Luo Xuan.

However, he still used the Lord's Space to put Azathoth and Lilith away, and cautiously approached.

After contacting the gray wolf and confirming that there was no problem, Luo Xuan looked towards the camp.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xuan frowned immediately.

It's not that there are too many kobolds; on the contrary, the number of kobolds patrolling the perimeter has decreased again.

Previously, Luo Xuan saw the kobold warlocks lead the main force north after mobilizing, but even so, there were still four or five small squads of kobolds patrolling the perimeter.

However, this time Luo Xuan patiently looked at it several times, but he only saw three squads.

With the battle situation becoming increasingly tense, the kobold warlocks redeployed even more troops to the front lines, and even transferred some of the patrol forces that had been left behind.

This was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for Luo Xuan.

However, since Azathoth had just finished fighting in the eastern forest, Luo Xuan was not prepared to continue the battle.

He also had to be wary of the kobold warlock playing a trick to lure him in.

Therefore, he ordered the gray wolves to continue monitoring, and sent Azathoth and Lilith back to their territory to rest.

Afterwards, Luo Xuan also logged off to rest.

I've been in the game for quite a while now. Although there haven't been any battles, the constant back-and-forth travel has been very tiring.

Moreover, since this game can synchronize physical pain, it can also synchronize fatigue.

After logging off, Luo Xuan forced himself to cook himself some instant noodles, ate them, and then went straight to sleep.
