【Note: Due to technical reasons, after becoming a new species, the level is only retained to the lowest level of the current rank. For example: Lv33 player reincarnates from skeleton to cave spider, level is only retained to Lv31 (Steel-rank initial level). Lv30 player reincarnates from skeleton to cave spider, level is only retained to LV11 (Bronze initial level). To avoid level loss, please consider carefully when choosing reincarnation!

"Catastrophe OL" official forum.

400 new closed beta players hadn't entered the game yet, and a pop-up window of the update reminder had already entered everyone's eyes.

Village Entrance Grandpa: "Wait, it just updated last night, why is it updating again today?!"

Can't Play: "Awesome!!!"

Gou Shi: "6666!"

Tonsils have something to say: "This update speed is too fast!"

Mei Chuan Meichuan Qiuku: "If only the closed beta accounts were sent out faster. T. T"

Thunder King Yang Professor: "Be content, you guys, four updates in three days, a total of five hundred closed beta accounts, faster than another game I'm still waiting for. (eye roll)"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor: "Reincarnation? It's actually just switching characters, not to mention the level system and mission system, isn't this plagiarism of Ming Shen? And it's already said that it's not as good as Ming Shen, why are there still people playing? Can the development team stop updating? (question mark) (question mark)"

Flower Monk Lin Daiyu: "Does the whole world have to revolve around you? (red warm)"

Arrogant Life: "Laughing to death, does anyone really believe it? I can make ten such PPTs in one minute, do you really believe someone is playing it?"

Thunder King Yang Professor: "Hiss... brother, have we met somewhere before? (sweat)"

Knowledge Explosion: "Speaking of which, the newly updated cave spider is too super-model, initial attributes 33320, 5 attribute points higher than the skeleton soldier! Are these numbers really not wrong?!"

Gou Shi: "Resurrection cost is a bit high, but I feel it's not a problem at all compared to the strength, strong attributes and comes with skills... a bit tempted. (funny)"

Xiao Wan Can't Get Enough: "Bu, but playing a spider... you'll scare yourself to death when looking in the mirror. (゜ロ゜）"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Hmm, and high attributes don't necessarily mean strength, especially as the level increases, the advantage brought by initial attributes is quickly filled. And relatively speaking, some disadvantages will accompany the race for life."

Gou Shi: "For example?"

Ye Zhiqiu: "For example, weapons, you might have fewer equipment slots than others directly... with the realism of this game, at least I can't imagine a cave spider fighting with weapons. And reasonably suspect, living things should have eating needs, you might have to eat what spiders eat."

Gou Shi: "Holy crap! Then I'd better continue to be a skeleton soldier! (terror)"

Shark Away Things: "Vomit vomit!"

Village Entrance Grandpa: "Now that you say that, I suddenly feel that skeleton soldiers are quite good. By comparison, cave bone spiders and undead rats are simply here to be funny!"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Not necessarily, it mainly depends on the gameplay, for example, the undead rat is small, plus the agility advantage, playing a thief and taking the stealth route is a good idea. For another example, the cave bone spider... uh, I don't know what it's for, maybe as a mount for other players? But this is obviously not as easy to use as a cave spider, and the latter also comes with a control skill."

Mei Chuan Meichuan Qiuku: "Got it! I'll find a way to trick my good brother in! (color) (color)"

Knowledge Explosion: "Aren't you still without a closed beta qualification?"

Gou Shi: "Don't let it be embarrassing when your good brother gets in first. (funny)"

Ye Zhiqiu: "By the way, I have another discovery, from the timing of the update and the content in the cutscene, the player-selectable races seem to be related to the number of vassals of the 'Great Graveyard'."

Whale Fall North and South: "In other words, reincarnating into a slime is feasible?"

Ye Zhiqiu: "I think it's no problem, but considering the strength of the slime... I advise you not to do so. (sweat)"

Rock Sugar Gourd: "Wait, if you vassalize surface humans, can you also reincarnate into a human?!"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Theoretically, it should be possible! But if I were to choose, I might still prefer to reincarnate into a demon with a higher upper limit."

"..."

Just as the netizens on the forum were discussing the 'reincarnation system' of the a04 update, four hundred fresh little leeks entered the game one after another.

It was beyond Luo Yan's expectation.

He originally thought that cave spiders would become the first choice for players, but he didn't expect that most people were just talking, and in the end, they still chose skeleton soldiers.

Followed by undead rats.

The only few cave spiders were as rare as protected animals in his Great Graveyard, and one hand could count them.

Luo Yan found that these guys with novel ideas were not fuel-efficient lamps either, quite having his own style when he was wandering in the Demon Capital back then.

Taking advantage of everyone's gaze focused on him, two little spiders that had just walked out of the magic circle began to shout.

Failed Eel: "Paid mount! 500 Nether Coins an hour! Private message me if you need it!"

Failed Dirty Eel: "Second one half price!"

Although the spiders controlled by the players belonged to the kind that had just crawled out of spider eggs, after the faith power infusion of "Catastrophe OL", their bodies had fully developed, their round bodies were about one meter long, and carrying a skeleton soldier was more than enough.

Watching the two 'selling themselves' on the spot, 【Brother Brother Guofu First Pig】, who also just crawled out of a spider egg, was instantly stunned.

"Holy crap?! Where is your dignity?"

Failed Eel: "What do you know? This is the correct way to use a cave spider!"

Failed Dirty Eel: "Exactly! Otherwise, without equipment, how to fight monsters? Really bite with your mouth? Too heavy-tasting."

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig: "???"

Ah? For a moment, he was a bit unable to figure out who was the real pervert and who was the real version answer.

But to be honest, although Nether Coins were worthless, 500 Nether Coins an hour was somewhat humorous.

Just when Pig Brother was curious about which sucker would pay, three skeleton soldiers really walked over from not far away.

It seemed they were coming for them!

Long Xing Wan Li Li: "500 an hour, right, we need three here, 12 hours a day, all-inclusive, okay? Mainly brushing the sewer corridor, requirements are listening to commands and not grabbing the last hit, mission and drop income split 50/50... uh, speaking of which, you guys don't seem to need equipment, just go to the NPC shop to evaluate the price and discount it for you."

The brother who was the leader was a straightforward person, not even bargaining a single bit.

Failed Eel: "No problem, no problem!"

Failed Dirty Eel: "Brushing monsters, let's go!"

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig: "Wait, brother, I'm just passing by—"

Long Xing Wan Li Li: "If you work a full 12 hours a day, I'll give you another 500 yuan for hard work, and another 100 yuan for overtime every hour. I'm talking about RMB."

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig: "!!! Brother! Please get on my back!"

Failed Eel: "Big boss is awesome!"

Failed Dirty Eel: "Awesome!!!"

"Remember to private message me your card number."

Long Xing Wan Li Li gestured behind him, signaling the two to 'get on the car', and then he was the first to flip over and ride up.

Perhaps because of the eight legs, this mount was unexpectedly steadier than a horse, and it didn't shake at all when walking.

Long Xing Thousand Miles was a bit hesitant.

"Is this... really okay?"

"Things that are willing, what's wrong with it?"

Already riding on the back of a cave spider, Long Xing Hundred Miles said with a grin.

"Don't be hesitant, it's just playing a game, didn't you play horse-riding and fighting with children in the courtyard when you were young? If you say you haven't played, I'll have to laugh at you... let's go, let's brush monsters!" Archer riding a spider!

He and the Dark Elf were only missing pointed ears! Thousand Miles sighed, and finally crossed up.

She wasn't afraid of spiders.

It was mainly that riding on a strange man (woman) felt weird...

On the other side, watching the rich trio ride away, the faces of a group of newbies showed envy.

It really lived up to that saying, some people are born riding horses, some people are born as horses.

Watching the 'spider cavalry' go far away, Hu Wan's face showed a subtle expression.

"These guys are still the same."

Even if it's a zero-krypton game, I have to krypton for you to see the momentum.

Ye Zhiqiu teased and said.

"Looks like you guys are old friends."

"No... I actually don't know them well, I should have told you, but I don't know why, they seem to know me," Hu Wan sighed and said, "Whatever, let's go brush monsters too... sewer corridor? Or spider cave? You decide."

After the Shadow-Weaving Lair surrendered, players could still attack the 'non-green-named cave spiders' in the labyrinth—simply put, the 'wild monsters' other than the Shadow-Weaving Lair or small tribes scattered in the corners of the labyrinth.

The area with the most monsters had already been marked on the map of the first floor of the underground labyrinth.

By the way, since the end of the Shadow-Weaving Lair surrender CG animation, the structure map of the first floor of the underground labyrinth had been updated on the official website forum.

It not only included the original labyrinth part, but also the part expanded by the Shadow-Weaving Lair along the periphery of the labyrinth.

Although the mini-map and positioning functions were still not done, combined with some special signs and forks in the labyrinth, confirming one's position was still much easier than before.

Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a while and said.

"Just updated the mission to hunt lizard-men, go to the sewer corridor to brush contribution, help you reach Black Iron first... by the way, have you decided whether to reincarnate? If you reincarnate, it's best to do it just when you reach LV4, so you can avoid experience loss to the greatest extent."

"I've already thought about it," Hu Wan smiled and said, "I plan to try the undead rat, it feels like it will be more suitable for me than a skeleton soldier."

Ye Zhiqiu: "Thief, right, it really feels more suitable for you than a skeleton, but there's no strategy to refer to for new professions, think clearly."

Hu Wan waved his hand indifferently.

"Sigh, do we professional players care about this? And isn't there you."

Being flattered like this to his face, Ye Zhiqiu was also a bit embarrassed for a while, and laughed it off.

"Thanks for the compliment... it's getting late, let's set off as soon as possible, don't let those guild guys brush all the monsters."

Hu Wan smiled and bumped fists with him.

"Oh! Charge!"

Following the mighty skeleton sea, the two soon disappeared into the entrance of the labyrinth.

At the same time on the other side, Arakdo, who had just visited the Demon King, was rushing back to the Shadow-Weaving Lair, and brought the Demon King's decree to the 'Cave Lord' Arachnos...

Learning that the Demon King had beheaded the envoys of the four-legged reptiles, acknowledged the existence of the Shadow-Weaving Lair, and allowed her and her children to have a place in the labyrinth, Arachnos was as excited as a 5000kg child, dancing on the spider web palace.

"Great! That's great! Ah... Demon God above, you really understand who is truly loyal!"

The previous disloyal remarks seemed to have been completely thrown behind her big butt.

After the excitement, Arachnos restored her dignified demeanor, looking down at the warrior prostrate beneath her.

"Arakdo, you are a truly loyal subject, thanks to you, our Shadow-Weaving Lair can gain this precious breathing room... tell me, what reward do you want."

Looking at the Queen licking the corner of her mouth, Arakdo stepped back in fear, nervously remonstrating.

"Your Majesty... as your most loyal warrior, I don't need any reward, being able to admire the great glory of you and the Shadow-Weaving Lair is the supreme reward for me."

When he said this, Arakdo paused for a moment, quietly observing the Queen's expression.

The latter seemed to be in a good mood, so he whispered.

"In addition... please also understand my difficulties, in that situation, I had no choice but to agree to that lord's request."

Arachnos looked down at him, and her original good mood stalled for a moment.

"What did you promise him?"

Not daring to hide anything, Arakdo hurriedly told the Demon King's request, and then waited anxiously for the Queen's punishment.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectation.

He was not picked up by the Queen as a snack, nor did he hear the deafening curse.

Arachnos seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her massive body lying lazily on the spider web.

"Is that all? Satisfy him."

Just 2000 odd-job spiders, plus 1000 'Hunter' spider eggs, at most it would take a few months, and she could gather them for that guy.

And in exchange, the Demon King would guarantee the safety of the Shadow-Weaving Lair... this deal was actually quite cost-effective.

Although Arachnos had once fantasized about spreading her footprints across the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range, becoming a third-party force that could compete with the surface and Hell, but thinking about it carefully, that kind of thing was really too troublesome.

She convinced herself again.

Actually...

She didn't hate depending on the strong that much, 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!

Those smart high-tier demons hadn't forgotten this place! Everything was just a misunderstanding, she should just peacefully be her 'little spider'.

Watching the Queen who had calmed down and the palace that was no longer jumping up and down, Arakdo also breathed a sigh of relief... although soon a hint of faint disappointment rose in his heart.

In his original strategy, pretending to submit was just to strive for the timing of development, but at this moment, the feeling the Queen gave him was... this is also quite good? What a pity.

He had once thought that Arachnos was an apostle sent by the Demon God to save them, after all, such a massive cave spider had never been born in their lair.

But now it seems that everything was just his misunderstanding, that lord was the 'Chosen One' who really came to save them.

Who is more worthy of his loyalty, it goes without saying.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take two thousand clansmen to support the Demon King's plan... that lord's temper is hard to fathom, I am worried that your other children might not serve him well."

Arachnos waved her forelimbs casually, lazily saying.

"Go, Arakdo, you must serve that lord well. In addition, remember to say hello to him for me."

Arakdo bowed and said.

"Obey."
