Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

"Brother Zhang, have you arrived at Luoyue Territory yet?" Luo Xuan asked.

He had previously learned the location of Falling Moon Territory; it was on the other side of the forest.

Hearing Luo Xuan's words, Zhang Lifeng said helplessly:

"Yes, it's all because Captain Zhao was urging me. I rushed here and just arrived at Luoyue Territory this morning."

Zhang Lifeng said, "Give me the exact location, and I should be able to reach your territory by the afternoon at the latest."

"Um, how about you take a good rest at Falling Moon Leading, Brother Zhang?"

Luo Xuan suggested tactfully, "You may be new here and unaware of the dangers of that forest. You could try to gather some information in Luoyue Territory."

"Hmm? What's wrong? What's dangerous in a forest?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lifeng initially didn't take it seriously.

In his view, although he had lost his territory, most of his strength remained, only his potential and ceiling had been significantly reduced.

Therefore, Zhang Lifeng didn't take the small forest seriously.

Until he heard Luo Xuan's next sentence.

"There are abyssal fissures in that forest, and it's estimated that there's already a large area of ​​abyssal erosion there."

Luo Xuan's explanation made Zhang Lifeng's eyes widen instantly, as he still hadn't forgotten how he lost his territory.

Therefore, after hearing Luo Xuan's explanation, Zhang Lifeng no longer insisted.

"I understand, I will be prepared."

Hearing that Zhang Lifeng was taking it seriously, Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the other party to be caught off guard and fail so soon after arriving.

After exchanging a few more words, Luo Xuan told the other party the exact location of his territory.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xuan thought for a moment and then went out for a run as planned. After returning home and taking a shower, he logged into the game.

Back in the game, Luo Xuan first took Lilith to the beach to check it out. Currently, there are eight forest spiders and three skeleton soldiers helping Luo Xuan search for moonlight coral.

However, this search is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack, and so far there has been no result.

After the inspection, Luo Xuan was not disappointed at all, as it was just something he did on a whim.

Upon arriving at the seaside, Luo Xuan sensed Azathoth's approximate location and waited on the shore.

Not long after, Azathoth emerged from the sea.

After exchanging words with Azathoth, Luo Xuan learned that the other party had just attacked a patrol of merfolk, and praised him.

"Good job, but don't push yourself too hard. Always be careful and stay safe."

After giving him some more instructions, Luo Xuan led Lilith to the eastern forest.

Luo Xuan had already learned through previous contact that Zhang Lifeng had arrived at Luoyue Territory, which was opposite the forest.

At this moment, Luo Xuan rushed over to check whether the erosion zone had continued to expand, and also to meet up with Zhang Lifeng.

After all, no one can say for sure what the current situation is of the abyss erosion zone in the forest.

After learning that Zhang Lifeng had lost his territory due to the Abyss Erosion Zone, Luo Xuan dared not be negligent or careless.

Luo Xuan spent most of the day with Lilith in the forest, carefully inspecting the border area.

Luo Xuan discovered that, for some reason, the abyss erosion zone had stopped spreading outwards.

The most obvious evidence is that the boundary line is not much smaller than Luo Xuan's level 2 resource point; it is almost negligible.

Luo Xuan was initially worried that the continued expansion of the Abyss Erosion Zone would affect his resource points.

But when I checked it now, it turned out that nothing was wrong.

However, Luo Xuan did not let his guard down. Something was definitely amiss. What could have caused the Abyss Erosion Zone to stop spreading?

With this question in mind, Luo Xuan and Lilith searched for and killed wild monsters on the outskirts of the eroded zone.

Compared to Azathoth, Lilith's monster-killing efficiency is much lower.

It often takes a lot of time to defeat a monster, requiring the use of methods such as spider webs and venom.

While offline to rest, Luo Xuan received a message from Zhang Lifeng, who said he was preparing to cross the erosion zone early the next morning.

The next morning, Luo Xuan logged into the game early and waited at the border with Lilith.

Not only that, Luo Xuan also summoned Azathoth, who was by the sea, to provide additional protection.

Time passed slowly, and by noon, Luo Xuan still hadn't seen any trace of Zhang Lifeng.

Somewhat worried about the other side, Luo Xuan finally led Azathoth and Lilith into the erosion zone.

Upon entering the erosion zone, the surrounding environment immediately changed.

The once lush and vibrant forest suddenly became sickly, with withered yellow leaves replacing the original green leaves.

As they ventured deeper, more and more dead trees appeared, their dark, twisted trunks resembling malevolent spirits.

A thin, gray mist had appeared in the air at some point, blocking the sunlight.

This means that even though the foliage no longer blocks the sunlight from entering the eroded area, it still prevents sunlight from reaching it.

Luo Xuan frowned as he observed. He was certain that when he brought Azathoth in earlier, there was no such strange mist here.

Due to the fog, Luo Xuan's vision was somewhat obstructed, and he could not see distant objects very clearly.

Luo Xuan dared not venture too deep, and could only explore the edge of the misty area, maintaining a distance where he could see the edge, ensuring that he could retreat at any time.

After searching for a while longer, Luo Xuan had no choice but to give up and retreat with Azathoth and Lilith.

After leaving the forest, Luo Xuan immediately went offline and tried to contact Zhang Lifeng, but received no reply.

Still worried, Luo Xuan contacted Zhao Wenjie again and told him about the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenjie said in a serious tone, "Okay, I understand. I will try to get in touch with Zhang Lifeng."

In the days that followed, Luo Xuan led Lilith to explore the outer edges of the forest and the edge of the eroded area, killing the occasional wild monsters they encountered while searching for Zhang Lifeng's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Meanwhile, Azathoth by the sea brought Luo Xuan some good news.

Recently, due to Azathoth's constant attacks on patrols and small, isolated groups of both sides, the conflict between the Murloc and Lobster tribes has intensified, and both sides are preparing for a major battle.

Upon learning the news, Luo Xuan instructed Azathoth to continue observing and to attack any lone or wounded individuals on the edge of the battlefield if the opportunity arose, but under no circumstances should they join the main battlefield.

Time has unknowingly reached the end of the month. The blood-red hue of the sky is gradually fading, the blood moon is about to dissipate, and the cold moon will soon return.

After so many days, there was still no news from Zhang Lifeng, which cast a shadow over Luo Xuan's heart.

One day, while Luo Xuan was resting offline, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Lifeng.
