Chapter 50: Is this update too fast?!

Some people touch electric gates, some uncles eat peppercorns.

Just as Luo Yan was packing up the corpses and spoils, humming a little tune and returning to the court, the news of Moerlage's defeat finally reached the base camp of the Earth Dragon Tribe.

Upon hearing that High Priest Moerlage and several temple warriors had died in battle, the Earth Dragon Tribe leader Sanu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

And upon hearing that all one thousand elites had died, his fingernails dug deeply into his flesh.

Looking at the red-eyed leader, the Earth Dragon Tribe sentry who came to report didn't dare to continue telling him that the evil Demon King was also a necromancer.

Those demons not only won the battle but also packed up the flesh and blood of the tribe's children.

"You... go down first, I need to calm down for a while." Sanu breathed heavily, waving his hand at the sentry.

The Earth Dragon Tribe sentry lowered his head and hurried away from the Earth Dragon Tribe's deliberation hall.

The curtain closed.

Almost at the same time the footsteps disappeared, Sanu suddenly tilted his head and opened his blood basin mouth, venting all the anger in his chest into a roar.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Hate!

So much hate!

This battle not only failed to wash away the shame of the Earth Dragon Tribe but also caused all thousand elites in the tribe to die!

Especially High Priest Moerlage and temple warrior Zerik...

In this battle, they not only lost most of their family foundation but also buried the future potential of the Earth Dragon Tribe!

Sanu, having vented the anger in his chest, took a deep breath, trying to cool down the boiling dragon blood.

He now needs to think calmly about where the future of the Earth Dragon Tribe should go...

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door again; the Earth Dragon Tribe sentry who had just retreated returned, kneeling on one knee with a panicked expression.

"Leader! The envoy from the Land of Nightmares requests an audience!"

Land of Nightmares?

If he remembered correctly... that seems to be a force on the second floor of the labyrinth.

At the previous "Summit Meeting," he had met the leader of the Land of Nightmares once; that guy seemed to be a little demon... although it was the low-born bloodline kind.

But having said that, what is that guy sending an envoy here for?

At that meeting, they should have already agreed on their respective "borders"...

Amber eyes narrowed; Sanu looked at the sentry kneeling at the door, saying in a deep voice.

"Let that guy in."

"Yes!"

The sentry turned around to follow orders.

Not long after, a little demon flapping its wings flew in from outside.

These guys are like flying dwarves, but much noisier than dwarves. Not only that, their bodies are thin, their arms are like firewood, and they have ugly faces without scales like humans.

Especially the smile hanging on that guy's face made Sanu feel the anger in his chest surging, and a low, gloomy growl like that of a beast escaped his throat involuntarily.

However, Youxi, floating in the air, was completely unaware.

Especially when she saw the leader of these four-legged snakes with a bitter face, the smile on that face became even more sinister, simply happy enough to want to sing.

"Hehehe... truly a scary face, let me guess what happened? Could it be... that you lost the battle? No way?"

Sure enough.

These demons who feed on negative emotions are forever so disgusting.

If it weren't for the fact that he had really lost a battle and didn't want to offend the idiots on the second floor, he swore he would catch this guy like a toad and squeeze the shit out of him.

Sanu suppressed the anger in his heart, looking at the little demon scurrying around like a fly.

"Speak if you have a fart, speak if you have words; I'm very busy, no mood to accompany you to make trouble."

"Yo, the mouth is quite hard; looks like you haven't been beaten enough."

Youxi's eyebrows raised, the corners of her mouth curling into a sinister smile, flying in front of this burly giant lizard, looking down at the face suppressing anger.

"Hey, four-legged snake, our Majesty asks if you want to form an alliance, do you want to consider it? Ah, of course... this is absolutely not because we think that Demon King is too hard to deal with, purely because our Majesty thinks you are too pitiful—Guo!"

Before Youxi could finish speaking, a whistling fist slammed into her belly like a gale.

A pair of widened eyes bulged almost out of their sockets; she flew out like a piece of paper blown by a hair dryer, slamming heavily into the wall paved with iron pipes.

Boom—!

The iron pipes were dented inward!

Youxi, struggling to crawl up, coughed up a mouthful of blood, her twisted expression half anger, half shock.

"You guy actually dared to make a move on me—"

Her pupils instantly turned scarlet, her clenched lips quickly chanting hell spells.

However, standing opposite her was a Steel-tier melee mage after all; she had only spat out two syllables before her face was pressed by a claw full of scales, stifling the gibberish sound.

"I give your leader three points of courtesy, doesn't mean I need to look at you straight..."

Looking at the face that was almost turning blue and purple, Sanu squeezed a vicious sentence from between his teeth.

"As for you, you are just a mouse with wings... understand? You are just a group of mice with wings."

He repeatedly emphasized the term "mouse with wings," as if he had been poked in some sore spot.

Unable to breathe, Youxi trembled all over, her hands desperately grabbing the claw that was as hard as rock but couldn't break free; the unruly look had already been replaced by terror and pleading.

Under that terrifying pressure nearing death, she finally couldn't hold it back and leaked.

Looking at this spineless guy, Sanu threw her on the ground with disgust, handing her to the guard standing at the door.

"Take her down."

Alliance?

He wouldn't have such a stupid dream.

The Earth Dragon Tribe had long since left the hypocritical hell and thrown themselves into the embrace of the Dragon God. That bitch sending someone over was nothing more than wanting to disgust him, and by the way, probe his reality.

No need to think, the same envoy must have appeared on the Demon King's side as well.

If he once showed a cowardly side, that guy would definitely stand on the Demon King's side without hesitation.

This is hell!

Law of the jungle, the strong are respected!

Sanu's expression gradually became ferocious.

Joining hands to bully me, right!

Just wait!

He originally didn't want to pull in external forces to intervene in the internal affairs of the labyrinth, but now it seems he has no other choice!

It's time to send an envoy to the swamp in the southwest!

Glancing at the demon twitching on the ground, the Earth Dragon Tribe sentry grabbed her neck and lifted her from the ground like throwing trash.

"At your command!"

1. Reincarnation Pool adds more optional species:

Zombie. (Initial attributes: 4/3/2/2/3) (Talents: Fear Aura, Corpse Eating) (Minimum Soul Tier requirement: Black Iron) (Reincarnation cost: 1000 contribution points) (Initial resurrection cost: 100 contribution points)

Lizardman Zombie. (Initial attributes: 4/4/2/1/3) (Talents: Scale Armor, Fear Aura, Corpse Eating) (Minimum Soul Tier requirement: Black Iron) (Reincarnation cost: 1200 contribution points) (Initial resurrection cost: 120 contribution points.)

2. "Conscription" mechanism:

Responding to the conscription of Lord Demon King is the duty that the people of the Great Graveyard cannot refuse!

When the Demon King issues a conscription order, players will be automatically incorporated into specific legions according to their chosen race, identity number, and mobilization level.

For example, Zhang San is the 7th skeleton soldier of the Great Graveyard; when the Demon King issues a conscription order, Zhang San will be automatically incorporated into the "Great Graveyard First Skeleton Legion" to fight in the designated area.

After completing the combat objective, all players in the legion will receive huge underworld coin and contribution gains, and gain priority bidding rights at the spoils auction!

3. "Spoils" mechanism:

Equipment and materials obtained from camp battles will be automatically marked as spoils, prioritized for bidding by the legion that captured the spoils; 70% of the proceeds from the auction will be distributed to all players in the legion according to the battle participation, and unsold equipment will be recycled by the NPC store at a specific price.

Equipment marked as spoils cannot be registered as personal property, cannot be traded, until the disposal of ownership is finished; illegal trading or refusal to return will be punished by Lord Demon King!

4. "Warehouse" mechanism:

Due to the addition of cave spiders, the territory of the Great Graveyard has expanded; to ensure the safety of players' personal property, a personal warehouse system is now open! Standard height is three meters, charged by square meter, each person can rent up to 20 square meters of storage space! If you need a cabinet, please solve it yourself!

Note: Equipment piled up at will in the Demon King's territory will be cleaned up as trash; please put personal items in designated places or outside the Demon King's territory!

The official website of "Catastrophe OL".

The a04 version update hadn't passed 24 hours, and the a05 version update was refreshed on the official website forum.

For the heaven-defying update speed of the game official, players were already used to it.

So much so that the update announcement had been out for several minutes, and most of the topics discussed in the posts were still revolving around the "National War" a few hours ago.

Although players didn't directly participate in that "thousand people on the same screen" battle, most of the time just acting as background boards in the cutscene, the immersive atmosphere and the mighty oppression still made many players who liked this kind of thing feel excited.

The conscription mechanism of the a05 version update could also be said to be within the expectations of most players.

Most posts complaining about the update were also mainly concentrated on a few details.

Chemical Pool in One Gulp: "Wait?! The mechanism of whoever picks it up gets it is canceled?! Then the muskets I hoarded aren't... (terror)"

Gou Shi: "Good guy, it turns out you are the talent who carried more than a dozen guns on your back. (funny)"

Old Man at the Village Entrance: "Damn, how did you take so many?!"

Roasted Lamb Skewers: "Damn, I just said how I couldn't grab any; it turns out you dog-day guy took so many! (anger)"

Rock Sugar Gourd: "Turn off the auto-pickup for grandpa! (anger)"

Tonsils Have Something to Say: "Just grabbing equipment and not joining the group, right! (anger)"

Chemical Pool in One Gulp: "Who do you blame for your slow hand speed! And it wasn't just me picking them up! (eye roll)"

Roasted Lamb Skewers: "@#%!"

Gou Shi: "This time I have to praise the development team; if this isn't managed, it really can't be played. (funny)"

Chemical Pool in One Gulp: "Damn! You guys are jealous!"

Little Night Not Full: "Does anyone still need a backpack? That... rat skin backpack, on sale. QAQ"

Can't Afford to Play: "Suspicious, I see the NPC store has already hung up hundreds of canvas bags, Silver Pine Town militia style... everyone who used them says they are good. (bad smile)"

Sharking Things: "Finished, going bankrupt. QAQ"

Whale Fall North and South: "T. T"

Knowledge Explodes: "Speaking of which, no one cares about the two transferable units added in a05? This attribute feels more super-model than cave spiders!"

Failed Eel: "Care about a fart! Only those few dog things in the whole server leveled up to Black Iron!"

Failed Dirty Eel: "That's right! Those dog things level up too fast!"

Ye Zhiqiu: "(sweat)"

Hu Wan: "Don't scold your boss together; those guys don't like to post usually, but they love to peek at the screen. (squint)"

Failed Eel: "(terror)"

Failed Dirty Eel: "Brother! I was wrong! Don't deduct my salary! QAQ"

Gou Shi: "Hahahaha damn."

"..."

On the other side, the Demon King's territory deep in the North Peak mine.

Luo Yan, who returned to the old nest, didn't squat in front of the mirror to eat melons this time, but rode Alakto directly to the construction site, starting to cash in the pie he drew in the a05 version update.

Not just the players' warehouses, he also had to prepare for the expansion of the Demon King's territory facilities.

At this moment, thousands of cave spiders were shuttling back and forth in the mine tunnel, expanding the depth of the Demon King's territory horizontally while transporting the excavated earth to the outside of the cave.

This stuff is simply like a shield tunneling machine!

No—

Should say it's even easier to use than a shield tunneling machine!

After all, shield tunneling machines have turning radii, and the size of excavation is limited, while this thing is simply like a robot cluster with drills, not only can it change the direction of excavation 360 degrees without dead ends, but it can also help him knock out a four-bedroom and one-living room by the way.

"... This is the unusual thing about our Shadow-Weaving clan, Lord Demon King."

Looking at the Demon King in a good mood, Alakto's voice couldn't help but carry a bit of pride.

"Ordinary cave spiders can only dig one cave; ten-plus meters deep is the limit of excavation work. However, we are different; acting collectively, we can come and go freely in the mountain! Some spiders are responsible for digging, some spiders are responsible for transporting... we can keep digging like this until the end of the world!"

"Good job, Alakto! No need to dig to the end of the world; digging through this mountain is enough. The north is the southwest corner of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range; we need to dig out strategic depth toward the direction of Broken Rock Peak! Open up strategic space!"

Simply put, Luo Yan needs to open a back door for his Demon King territory.

After all, he has already provoked humans, so he has to prepare for the worst.

However, Alakto didn't know, just laughing heroically.

"No problem! Leave it to our clan!"

As expected of His Majesty the Demon King!

These words he couldn't even understand... at a glance, they are some amazing big plans!

At this time, Luo Yan saw some spiders wrapped in spider webs together with earth, being lifted out from the front, and couldn't help but ask.

"What's the situation with these guys?"

They started losing members after digging for a while, which made him worry about whether there was a collapse in the mine tunnel ahead.

However, Alakto seemed to be used to it, laughing and saying.

"No need to worry, Lord Demon King, it's just a small breakdown. Their mouthparts were damaged during the excavation process; this kind of thing happens from time to time, and Lady Arachnos will send new diggers over to ensure the construction team is full."

So that's it.

Luo Yan nodded, then asked.

"How are the broken guys usually handled?"

Alakto: "Usually as reserve food."

"...?"

Alright.

By the standards of monsters, this is indeed a relatively energy-saving method... after all, the mouthparts are broken, and they probably can't eat.

Luo Yan sighed in his heart; his understanding of hell was indeed not deep enough.

Compared to these real hell creatures, he, a Demon King who graduated from the Demon King Academy, was still too human.

Must be fiercely not human in the future...

"Lord Demon King, the envoy from the Land of Nightmares has sent an envoy to you; do you want to meet?"

"Lock it up and interrogate."

"Good—eh?!"

Luo Yan, who accidentally spoke his heart, coughed and changed his words.

"Nothing... meet first, let that guy wait for me below."

Land of Nightmares?

Sounds like a nightmare demon.

But would high-tier demons appear in this kind of place?

He was very suspicious.

Looking at the Demon King who returned to normal, Hearing You You breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, declaring war without listening to what others have to say is too much; at least wait until the person is rude before taking the opportunity to take them down, right?

"At your command!"

(Brothers, it's not that I don't want to add more, it's that there really is no manuscript T. T. The word count today is quite a lot, quietly asking for a monthly ticket...) ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
