Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

When Luo Xuan left the Liangyi Division, he was still a little dazed. He hadn't expected to get a "secure job" so soon.

"It feels pretty good~"

Luo Xuan was in a great mood, especially after getting a solution from Zhao Wenjie.

Based on Luo Xuan's description, Zhao Wenjie used his access privileges to consult recent records and successfully found similar entries.

According to internal records of the Liangyi Division, the anomaly in the forest east of Luo Xuan's territory is likely related to the demon race in the abyss.

It is possible that a deep rift appeared in some area of ​​the forest, causing the abyssal aura to infect the surrounding plants and animals.

This stage is the initial transformation phase. The abyssal rift will continuously affect the surrounding environment, causing it to change towards the abyss.

At this time, demons generally would not enter the continent of Aetheran through the rift passage.

Even if there are any, they would only be low-level minor demons, and their strength wouldn't be too great.

As for the undead race in the north of the territory, Zhao Wenjie told Luo Xuan that, according to the intelligence they had gathered, the undead race was rampant throughout the entire Tianyu Empire.

Luo Xuan was probably unlucky; a small stronghold of the undead race happened to appear on the edge of his territory.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. So this was just a small outpost?

Zhao Wenjie told Luo Xuan that there was no good solution at the moment, but the Tianyu Empire's high command had already dispatched troops to various places to investigate.

In short, don't mess with the undead in the north, but you can continue exploring the forest in the east.

As for the Naga people in the sea, Zhao Wenjie also said that he could not help them, because they had not been able to collect much information at the moment.

However, since it can dominate the Turbulent Sea, its strength must be considerable.

After receiving confirmation from Zhao Wenjie, the heavy weight on Luo Xuan's heart, though not completely gone, at least eased somewhat.

After returning home and logging into the game, Luo Xuan headed towards the eastern forest.

I checked the resource point first, and the surrounding area has been cleared and everything is normal.

Afterwards, Luo Xuan found Azathoth and Lilith, preparing to take them on their exploration.

I received two spider cards from Azathoth; this is my recent haul.

As time went by, the once densely packed spiders in the forest were almost wiped out by Azathoth and his companions.

The days when a single wave could wipe out dozens or even hundreds of low-level spiders are long gone.

As a result, the production of unit cards has plummeted.

This is also why Luo Xuan is anxious: without enough cards, he cannot evolve his troops, and without evolution, he cannot become stronger, which will stagnate his development.

He doesn't even need to think about what awaits him then.

Looking up, Luo Xuan could vaguely see the blood-red moonlight in the sky through the gaps in the leaves and branches.

Because the number of monsters in the surrounding area was suppressed to a very low level, Luo Xuan's influence on the Blood Moon was not very clear.

However, he learned a lot of inside information from Zhao Wenjie today.

The number of player deaths during the recent Blood Moon alone is already equivalent to the number of deaths during a normal Cold Moon over a month.

The death rate, which had increased nearly tenfold, made Luo Xuan clearly understand the meaning and significance of the Blood Moon.

Lowering his head, Luo Xuan withdrew his gaze. He needed to focus on this exploration, otherwise he might very well become the next cold, hard death statistic.

Returning to the previous location with Azathoth and Lilith, Luo Xuan wondered if it was just his imagination, but the withered boundary line seemed to have moved slightly in this direction.

Although he was eager to find a direction for development, Luo Xuan did not act rashly.

He first sent Azathoth across the boundary line into the eroded area. The deep blue Azathoth stood out conspicuously in the yellowish-brown world full of withered branches and fallen leaves.

Luo Xuan and Lilith remained on the border, keeping a close watch on Azathoth.

Azathoth didn't go far, only a dozen meters beyond the boundary, remaining within Luo Xuan's sight, maintaining a distance from which Lilith could provide support at any time.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, more than ten minutes passed, and nothing happened.

"Strange, am I being too sensitive?" Luo Xuan wondered to himself, looking at the unharmed Azathoth.

Just as Luo Xuan was considering whether to bring Lilith along, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a scarlet "arrow" shot towards Azathoth, piercing through his body.

When it hit the ground, the impact sent up a large number of fallen leaves.

Looking in the direction of the attack, Luo Xuan saw a chameleon-like monster perched on a branch diagonally above Azathoth.

[Unit Type]: Mimicry Iguana

[Race]: Neutral

[Level]: Tier 1, Level 4

[Quality]: Green Elite

[Type]: Special

[Life]: 400

[Physical Attack]: 17-2

[Physical Defense]: 11

[Magic Attack]: 0

[Magic Defense]: 9

[Speed]: Fast

[Skills]: Environmental Mimicry (Passive), Tongue Twister (Active)

[Demand Statistics Value]: 3

Looking at the panel in front of him, Luo Xuan did not underestimate this monster named [Mimicry Lizard], even though it was not very powerful.

Just before it launched its sneak attack, Luo Xuan had no idea that such a wild monster was lurking on a tree branch not far away.

Moreover, there is a lot of information on the other party's panel that is worth examining.

Their race is neutral, unlike the demonized spiders that Luo Xuan encountered before, which have mutated into demons.

This means that it either broke in from the outside, just like Luo Xuan and the others, and hasn't been here long.

This could mean that the fissures in this area are not large, and the amount of abyssal energy leaking out is not much, which is why not all the monsters have been affected.

Moreover, this was the first time Luo Xuan had encountered a [special] type of troop.

While Luo Xuan was deep in thought, Azathoth launched a counterattack and easily killed the iguana.

As a legendary unit, Azathoth's ability to suppress lower-quality units of the same tier is undeniable.

Even though the opponent tried to escape by turning invisible, Azathoth still managed to kill him by using a wave attack in the direction he was facing.

After waiting a while longer and confirming that there were no other monsters, Luo Xuan led Lilith and followed Azathoth deeper into the area.

They maintained a distance of more than ten meters between them to facilitate mutual support.

After walking about 100 meters beyond the boundary, Luo Xuan and his group did not encounter any other wild monsters besides the iguana they had encountered at the beginning.

"Something's not right. Logically speaking, forests are areas teeming with wild monsters, so it shouldn't be this safe."

Moreover, with the added negative buffs of Blood Moon and Abyss Rift, everything seems to indicate that this area is indeed somewhat unusual.
