"How can this be... Why would adventurers target the entrance to the north? That place... haven't they not come there for a long time?"

Before its offspring reached that area, unknown little spiders had already spun thick webs there.

That was exactly why it chose that area as the outpost for developing a new nest.

The gray-shelled male spider crept low, burying its huge head even lower.

"I... don't know... But lately, that place seems to have become lively again!"

As it spoke, it seemed to remember something else and added.

"The previous 'great harvest' seems to be related to those adventurers!"

Alachinos's gaze darkened, with its crimson eyes flickering with a faint murderous intent.

Adventurers.

These people could've come earlier or later but chose to suddenly appear at this time.

For the Weaving Shadow Nest, which was actively expanding to the northern mountains, this was undoubtedly the worst news.

After a moment of contemplation, it gave an order.

"Alakdo, take some hunters and scout the area. Let's see what the situation with those adventurers is... we need to figure out who they are and what their purpose is."

"Understood."

The Black Shell Flower-faced Spider crouching in a corner of the sleeping chamber slightly bowed its head and departed on its sturdy, agile eight legs.

As for the towering and magnificent Alachinos, it dismissed its servants and led a group of shivering male spiders, twisting its body back into the depths of the nest.

Danger was approaching.

As the mother of the Weaving Shadow Nest, it needed to have more children...

...

On the other side, after resting and meditating, Luo Yan stood up and resumed grinding mobs.

Although he openly told players to grind, he never intended to sit back and leave all the trouble to them.

As the boss of the Great Graveyard, he needed to level up some more.

He couldn't let the players catch up to him.

Persistence pays off.

Before evening, Luo Yan, with his hands covered in blood, finally reached level 33!

All thanks to him.

Five players also achieved various levels of progress.

Among them, the Dragon Roaming trio and little brother Hu Wan had maxed out their experience bars and just needed enough Contribution Value to officially advance to Iron Rank! To become skeleton soldiers like Yiye Zhiqu with Extraordinary Power!

As for Yiye Zhiqu, his mind was too sharp. After figuring out how to ride DPS for experience, he straight up leveled again and was now LV5.

Not just the other players, even Luo Yan felt that it was a loss to let this guy play the game for free.

Glancing at his attribute panel and then at the spider corpses scattered all over the ground, Luo Yan couldn't help but comment.

"A single success builds a thousand skeletons. Is this how High-level Demons make their rise?"

How many cities would have to be conquered...

At that moment, Youyou unseasonably interjected beside his ear.

"Lord Demon King, arthropods don't have bones, right?"

Luo Yan knew she would quibble, so he chuckled.

"You're mistaken, the chitinous exoskeleton counts as a type of bone. I can even summon skeletons from their corpses."

Without giving Youyou a chance to speak, Luo Yan continued.

"And Youyou, that's how you end up with no friends."

Youyou: "Hmph!"

Youyou: "QAQ"

Perhaps because the last sentence hit a nerve, a deeply shocked Youyou transformed into an emoticon seemingly learned from the official website and drifted away from the mirror she casually pulled out...

...

"Cataclysm Online" official website.

The buzz today was extraordinary.

Just two days after the closed beta servers opened, while most players had barely accumulated triple-digit Contribution Values, someone had already piled up 1000 points and broken through the level cap of LV3!

If this isn't inside information, what is?!

Pig-headed Knight: "Insider! Definitely insider!"

Chugged a Chemical Pool: "Exactly! Even if it's not an insider, they must have exploited a bug!!! I suggest the officials investigate this thoroughly!"

Chugged a Chemical Pool: "Damn it?! Damn officials, which admin dog changed my ID?!"

Explosion of Knowledge: "Pffft hahahahaha... Hold on, your situation is funny but let's set it aside for a moment, let's talk about the insider issue!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Exactly! I'm still LV0, how did that guy get to LV4! (screams)"

Tauren Warrior: "You have the cheek to say that... I tried to level you up, but all you did was either get locked up in the brig or you're on your way there. (sweat)"

Dragon-slaying Warrior: "Slash it! I don't care! Slash it! (frantic)"

Yiye Zhiqu: "They're joking around but you haven't even entered the game, have you. (sweat)"

Arrogant Lifelong: "Heh, it seems pretty real, it made me laugh."

Chugged a Chemical Pool: "Come out, you scheming planners! Tell me if you have something fishy! If you've got nothing to hide, there's no need to change my name to Chugged a Cesspool, why change it?!"

[Player "Chugged a Chemical Pool" has been banned from speaking for 24 hours, please be polite when speaking to other players.]

Village Elder: "Where did this mad dog come from. (sweat)"

Pig-headed Knight: "Shivers.jpg"

Yiye Zhiqu: "Stay calm, brothers, I've written all the leveling methods in the strategy guide. Everyone can use them, but they do test your awareness and micro-management. Also, to be precise, I am not LV4 but LV5 already."

Village Elder: "What the hell! So fast?! (spits blood)"
