Hu Wan smiled and bumped fists with him.

"Oh! Charge!"

Together with that vast sea of skeletons, the two quickly disappeared into the entrance of the labyrinth.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Alakdo, who had just visited the Demon King, was hurrying back to the Weaving Shadow Nest, bringing the Demon King's will to the presence of "Cave Lord" Alachinos...

Upon learning that the Demon King had slain the messengers of the four-legged crawlers, recognized the existence of the Weaving Shadow Nest, and granted her and her children a place in the labyrinth, Alachinos was so excited she was like a 5000-kilogram child, dancing on her palace made of webs.

"This is wonderful! Truly wonderful! Ah... Demon God above, you truly understand who the real loyalists are!"

The disloyal remarks from before seemed to have been completely thrown behind her big behind.

After her excitement subsided, Alachinos regained her dignified demeanor, looking down at the warrior prostrating beneath her.

"Alakdo, you are the true loyalist, thanks to you, our Weaving Shadow Nest can have this precious breather... Tell me, what reward do you desire."

Looking at the Queen licking her lips, Alakdo took a trembling step back, nervously advising.

"Your Majesty... As your most loyal warrior, I do not need any reward. To be able to behold your and the Weaving Shadow Nest's great glory is the supreme reward for me."

At this point, Alakdo paused for a moment, covertly observing the Queen's expression.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, he then cautiously continued.

"Moreover... please understand my predicament. In that situation, I had no choice but to accept that great one's request."

Alachinos looked down at him, her previously good mood now showing a slight pause.

"What did you promise him?"

Not daring to conceal anything, Alakdo quickly laid out the Demon King's demands and then anxiously waited for the Queen's punishment.

However, the development of events took him by surprise.

He was not picked up by the Queen to be eaten as a snack, nor did he hear deafening curses.

Lord Alachinos seemed to sigh with relief, her massive body lounging lazily on the spider web.

"Is that all? Fulfill his wishes then."

Two thousand common spiders, plus a thousand "Hunter" spider eggs, in a few months' time she could cobble that together for that guy.

In exchange, the Demon King would ensure the safety of the Weaving Shadow Nest... The deal was actually quite favorable.

Although Alachinos had once fantasized about spreading her reach over the entire Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, becoming a third force to stand against the surface world and Hell, she realized upon careful thought that such ambitions were too troublesome.

She convinced herself once more.

Actually...

She didn't dislike being dependent on the powerful. It was just that her children were too weak, and she had to put on the crown and be strong.

Praise the Demon God!

Praise the Demon King!

Praise Hell!

The clever High-level Demons haven't forgotten this place!

Everything was just a misunderstanding; she might as well stay her content 'little spider queen.'

Looking at the now tranquil Queen and the palace no longer bustling, Alakdo also breathed a sigh of relief, although a faint disappointment soon arose in his heart.

In his original scheming, feigned submission was just to strive for an opportunity to grow, but at this moment, the Queen's demeanor made him feel... that staying this way was quite alright?

What a pity.

He had thought that Lord Alachinos was an Angel Envoy sent by the Demon God to save them, for a Cave Spider of such size had never been born in their nest before.

But now it seemed it was all his own misunderstanding; that great one was the true 'chosen one' sent to save them.

Who deserved his loyalty was self-evident.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead two thousand of our kin to support Lord Demon King's plan... His temperament is unpredictable, and I fear your other children may not serve him well."

Alachinos waved a forelimb carelessly, speaking in a lazy tone.

"Go then, Alakdo. You must serve that great one well. Also, remember to convey my regards to him."

Alakdo bowed and said,

"As you command."
