Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Previously, Azathoth was able to fight five opponents single-handedly and even kill one of them.

Now that Lilith is helping to hold one of them back, Azathoth is under much less pressure facing the three demonized spiders.

Azathoth and Lilith swept through the area to the vicinity of the lumber resource point, but this time Luo Xuan did not follow them in.

Luo Xuan had already warned Azathoth outside the forest that whoever was in the forest should retreat immediately once their health dropped to the danger threshold.

It's okay if you can't take down 4 spiders, you can try again in twos, threes, fours.

But if you get yourself ruined, there won't be a second chance.

The two quickly arrived at the resource point, while four demonic spiders stood ready.

Upon seeing Azathoth, the four spiders became enraged and immediately launched an attack.

One spider sprayed venom at Azathoth, another spat out its web, and the remaining two scrambled towards Azathoth from the left and right.

However, one of the spiders was suddenly caught in a spider web that flew in from the side and was briefly bound by it.

Although it quickly broke free, this caused it to lose its synchronization with its companion Spider 1, giving Azathoth the opportunity to defeat it one by one.

The Spider 2, bound by the web, looked at the Silk-Spitting Spider behind it with some confusion, thinking that its companion had made a mistake.

The Silk-Spitting Spider was also innocent; it clearly spat the silk to Azathoth.

Fortunately, Lilith didn't hide anything. After spitting out another venom at Spider 2, she openly revealed herself.

Upon encountering the new demonic spider, the attacked Spider No. 2 was confused. It did not remember having any other companions, and this companion had actually attacked it.

"Hiss!"

The angry roar of Spider 1 rang out ahead, interrupting Spider 2's confusion.

Immediately, Spider 2 realized that Lilith was not an ally, but an enemy.

Spider 2 charged toward Lilith, but Lilith's level advantage meant she was no match for Spider 2.

Therefore, as planned, Lilith turned and ran, taking Spider 2 away from the main battlefield.

In this way, the original formation of four spiders, two ranged attackers and two melee attackers, was broken.

Because Spider No. 1 alone could hardly withstand Azathoth's offensive. Left with no other choice, Spider No. 3, the venom-spitting spider, had to take the place of Spider No. 2 to assist Spider No. 1 in fighting Azathoth.

The task of remote containment was entirely assigned to Spider-4.

However, this means that the workload that should have been borne by two spiders is now on the shoulders of one spider. Spider #4 has to both spray venom and spin silk, making it difficult for it to manage both tasks simultaneously.

This resulted in Luo Xuan facing significantly less ranged pressure on the battlefield, giving him more opportunities to maneuver against Spider No. 1 and No. 3.

After multiple evolutions and transformations, Azathoth's intelligence had become quite high. It focused its attacks on Spider 1, which had been injured at the beginning, and basically ignored Spider 3.

Azathoth itself was stronger, and it relentlessly attacked Number 1, even enduring attacks from Numbers 3 and 4 in order to attack Number 1.

Not long after, Number 1 could not hold on any longer and was turned into a corpse by Azathoth's water bullet spell, leaving Number 3 and Number 4 to struggle on.

Luo Xuan, who was outside the forest, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Azathoth's health had stabilized between two-thirds and half after initially dropping.

This at least shows that Azathoth survived without danger, and as long as he can survive, it almost certainly means that he can kill these spiders.

Azathoth has a passive regeneration skill; if one is taken down first, the remaining ones will gradually fall apart like dominoes.

And things did indeed develop as Luo Xuan had predicted. Azathoth easily defeated numbers 3 and 4, and its health had even recovered to about 80%.

After Lilith brought back Spider No. 2, which had been following them, and had Azathoth kill it, the monsters that had been entrenched in this level 1 lumber resource point were finally cleared out.

Meanwhile, Luo Xuan, outside the forest, saw that Azathoth and Lilith's health points were no longer fluctuating, and understood that they had won the final victory. He excitedly raised his hand and waved it in the air.

The kobold camps and demonic spiders that once controlled the territory have now been completely eliminated, which means that the development of the territory will enter a new stage.

Before Luo Xuan could enter the forest, Azathoth brought Lilith to the forest's edge.

Looking at the two Demon Spider cards in Azathoth's hand, Luo Xuan was somewhat surprised. How come the drop rate has become so high?

"Are there any special features about these demonic spiders? Or is it that similar story-related monsters have a high drop rate?"

Looking at the two cards in his hand, Luo Xuan guessed what was going on.

In this battle, in addition to the two unit cards, Lilith leveled up again.

Although Azathoth consumes the majority of the experience, Lilith's level is too low, so even a small portion is enough for it to level up.

Of course, Luo Xuan did not forget the most important gain—a level 1 wood resource point.

When Luo Xuan discovered this resource point, he had already researched the relevant information on the forum beforehand.

The continent of Aetheran contains numerous resource-rich areas of varying levels; once occupied, these areas can periodically yield resource output.

Afterwards, Luo Xuan followed Azathoth and Lilith to the vicinity of the resource point.

As Luo Xuan reached out and touched the resource point, the notification sound in his mind arrived as expected.

"Level 1 timber resource point detected. Do you wish to capture it?"

Luo Xuan did not hesitate and confirmed the occupation.

Soon, a progress bar appeared in front of him, showing the progress of the capture.

The progress bar will be full in about ten minutes.

"Congratulations, Lord, on capturing the resource point!"

[Level 1 Timber Resource Point]: Produces 1 units of timber per day.

Upgrade requires: 50 units of wood, 50 units of stone, and 5 gold coins.

Information about resource points appeared before Luo Xuan's eyes: a level 1 resource point can produce 1 unit of resources per day.

Luo Xuan realized that upgrading his territory required 500 units of wood, and if he relied solely on this resource point, it would take about a year and a half to accumulate 500 units.

Looking at the resources needed for the upgrade below, Luo Xuan, who had reaped considerable rewards from destroying the kobold camp, was able to provide them.

After thinking it over, Luo Xuan decided to upgrade. He needed to actually check the situation of the resource points before making any further decisions.

As Luo Xuan confirmed the upgrade, the resources in his backpack were consumed, and the resource points displayed the words "Upgrading".

Looking at the time, Luo Xuan knew this upgrade would take more than an hour. He decided to leave Azathoth and Lilith behind to clear the wilderness near the resource point.

Luo Xuan himself logged off. Now that he had obtained the rare card, he was preparing to trade for the [Camp Horn].
