Chapter 70: Yusi at the table and Sodor surviving in the wilderness
[Faith value: 96085 (-1000)]
[Daily growth: 3624 (+560)]
[Daily consumption: 1000]
After returning to the cemetery, Luo Yan immediately fulfilled his promise and upgraded Arakdo from a Black Iron-level crypt spider to a Bronze-level one.
The whole ceremony process is very simple.
As a faint green light flashed in the core of the Demon King's Territory, Arakdo, who was standing in the Demon King's Territory, was immediately shrouded in the center of a faint green evil energy.
No spells needed.
No sacrifices are required.
As Luo Yan consumed his faith points, Arakdo's eyes, mouthparts and even the fur on his body immediately glowed like light bulbs and began to absorb the dim green energy.
One party gives without reservation, and the other party accepts with a pious heart.
As the contract was completed, the green light faded, and Arachdo's body swelled. Although not as bloated as his mother, Lady Arachnos, he seemed to be more swift and powerful.
Not only that—
Its eight eyes became deeper, as if burning with an eternal soul fire. Its long spider legs became thicker, and its blade-like tips left deep marks on the ground. Its limbs all over the body exuded a suffocating pressure.
Obviously.
This guy, like himself, had been stuck at his own bottleneck for a long time, and he was upgraded immediately the moment his soul level was raised.
The changes in appearance were secondary; Luo Yan was more curious about his own feelings.
"How does it feel?"
"I feel... that I have endless power." Looking at his brand new body, Arakdo's deep voice was filled with surprise and ecstasy.
"This, this is incredible! So amazing!!!"
He kept repeating this sentence, like an eleven or twelve year old child who got a new toy and was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
At this moment, he seemed to remember something. He restrained his excited expression, faced Luo Yan, and prostrated himself on the ground in submission.
"Respected Demon King, thank you for your boundless divine power that has given me a new life! From now on, you are my father, my master! I am willing to follow your footsteps forever, no matter where you go, no matter what you tell me to do... Arakdo will always be your minion and serve you forever until my soul is annihilated!"
It can be seen that he was really excited.
Luo Yan smiled faintly and accepted his oath.
"Very good, Alacdo, I will remember your oath, and I hope you will remain loyal as you said you would be."
Arakdo said loyally, his whole body shaking with excitement.
"Yes! I will not let you down! If I tell a lie, please wipe my soul out of this world!"
Luo Yan nodded and motioned for him to stand up.
Perhaps because he had accepted the baptism of his own divinity, Luo Yan found that he could actually see the attribute panel of Arakdo.

ID: Alacdo

good.
Although his intelligence and spirit are a little weak, his physique and strength are still good. If he practices more, it shouldn't take long for him to surpass his adamantium-level self and make up for his shortcomings in close-range output.
At this time, a brisk voice floated into Luo Yan's ears, and Youyou, who was watching the player cooking in the kitchen, came over.
"Master Demon, your dinner is ready. When would you like to eat?"
"Right now."
He hadn't eaten for a day and was a little hungry.
"Arakdo, go call Missy over here, and the guest she picked up, and tell them that the party has begun."
Arakdo lowered his head respectfully.
"As you command! Lord Demon!"
…
The banquet was held in the restaurant next to the Demon King's kitchen.
Although the Demon King's restaurant was a bit shabby and not much wider than an air-raid shelter, the food on the long table was not shabby at all.
The main dish was the big plate chicken that Missy had been craving for.
In addition, there are honey-glazed magic roasted wild boar ribs, cream mushroom magic stewed rabbit legs, classic braised pork and clear-braised lion's head... highlighting a combination of Chinese and Western cultures, and also incorporating the magic technology of another world.
That’s not all.
There were even mouth-watering desserts on the table... Judging from their shapes, they should be baked apples with cheese and honey, and strawberry jam sorbet.
Not to mention Missy was stunned, even Luo Yan was stunned... He, the lord himself, didn't know that there were such a rich variety of ingredients in his kitchen? !
As for the grilled sausages, roasted pork knuckles, bread and wine, they became the least noteworthy embellishments.
"Is this the devil's city of hell?!"
Missy was swallowing her saliva but was still restrained, her excitement was only expressed in a trembling voice.
Yusi, who was starving to the point of seeing stars, had turned into a hungry zombie, with his arms flailing forward like a sleepwalker.
If Missy hadn't been holding her tightly, she would have probably pounced on him.
"Missy...let me go..."
Desperately trying to stop the guy, Missy begged with her eyes closed.
"Wake up! Yusi, this is the palace of Lord Demon! If you are locked up by the lizard, there are still people who can save you. But if you are locked up by Lord Demon, then only Lord Demon can save you!"
"Hehe, how embarrassing." Arakdo's calmness and bullying remained the same as always. After being promoted to the bronze level, he even became more inflated than before.
Apart from Arakdo, Sarah is probably the calmest person here.
However, judging by the frequency with which her cat ears were shaking and her eager appearance, the only thing restraining her hunting instinct was probably her respect for the Demon King himself.
A skeleton in an apron stood next to the dining table, fingers entangled together, looking shy.
As a chef, nothing makes her happier than seeing her customers drooling over her food.
But then again, the cooking system in this game is too realistic.
She was a little worried that she would not be able to reproduce the real effect, but in the end she found that her concerns were completely unnecessary.
That’s not all.
Those magic-driven cooking equipment and kitchen utensils also make many originally complicated things simpler than in reality.
Out of curiosity about the technical capabilities of this game and wanting to know the limits of this game's "cooking system", she accidentally made too much.
Looking at the Demon King who walked into the restaurant, she walked forward and spoke in a shy voice.
"Dear Demon King, I have prepared the food for the banquet as you ordered. Since I am not sure about your and your guests' appetite, I have prepared a little bit of each style of food. I hope I have not caused you any trouble..."
"How can it be a problem? It's perfect!"
Looking at the player named [Little Fish Cake Juice], Luo Yan laughed happily, gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done! Thank you!"
As he spoke, he signaled Youyou to distribute the task rewards.
【Hell Money +10000】
[Contribution value +100]
[Favorability +10]
Seeing a series of pop-up windows flashing before her, Xiao Yugaozhi felt delighted, especially the one with +10 favorability, which made her blush uncontrollably in real life.
What's going on? I've never heard that NPCs can increase their favorability? Or can accumulating more favorability unlock hidden tasks? ! Not only the players didn't understand, Youyou was also a little confused and asked in a low voice.
"Master Demon, what are the parameters of favorability?"
Luo Yan said in a voice that only Youyou could hear.
"It's a hidden attribute, only for this demon king's reference, it's not very useful in practice... Wait, don't write these words into the players' systems."
Youyou chuckled.
"Don't worry, Lord Demon. Youyou is the worm in your stomach! When you say that, Youyou knows that you are planning to take advantage of them for free."
This guy is quite knowledgeable.
Luo Yan glanced at the air beside him unexpectedly and nodded approvingly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I'm glad you understand."
Since he was still a basic skeleton soldier, Xiao Yu Cake Juice could not taste the delicious food he cooked for the time being. After completing the task and seeing that there was nothing to do, he left humming a cheerful song.
Earn 10,000 ghost coins! Rounded up, that's 10,000 kilograms of coal! Also, there are contributions and the favorability of the Demon Lord.
It's indeed a story mission——
This profit is simply unbeatable!
Seeing the guests who could no longer wait, Luo Yan did not let them wait any longer. He walked straight to the main seat and then signaled Bond who was standing nearby to pour wine for himself and the guests.
When the blood-red wine filled the glass, he waved Bond to step aside, then raised his glass and spoke solemnly.
"Let's toast to victory!!!"
All the guests present, including Arakdo, who held up the wine glass with his forelimbs, raised their glasses with excitement.
"cheers!!!"
A victory banquet -
It’s officially started!
…
While Luo Yan and the guests were enjoying the delicious food at the banquet, there was a group of people starving in the maze.
The reason why a maze is called a maze is because the intricate routes are extremely confusing, and it is difficult for inexperienced people to find the exit after entering.
As for the monsters and traps, they are just to strengthen the adventurers and lure them to explore.
Generally speaking, even experienced adventurers would not go too deep into unfamiliar areas, let alone rashly enter unfamiliar entrances.
The correct way to explore a maze is to join the local Adventurer's Guild, get a map of the corresponding level according to your adventurer level, and then stand on the shoulders of your predecessors to explore a little further from the known area to the unknown area.
At the same time, if you find any changes in the maze, immediately report the updated situation to the Adventurer's Guild.
This is also the reason why many maze entrances become unpopular or even abandoned.
The fewer people exploring, the smaller the chance of survival. Although you may discover treasures that others have not discovered, it will be meaningless if you cannot bring them back.
At this moment, the situation that Sodo is facing is almost exactly the same as those novice adventurers who are eager for quick success.
Not only did he and his men enter unknown entrances and areas, but they themselves did not know how long they had been inside.
At first he tried to find the Shadow Weaver's lair, but soon discovered that the road that had been unobstructed by the flood had been blocked with earth by the crypt spiders who were fighting the flood.
Then he tried to find other adventurers, but they didn't even find a single monster! The stupid monsters were all washed downstream, while the smart monsters had already fled when the flood first broke out.
Later, Sodo began to send scouts to the surrounding areas, but the number of people he sent became fewer and fewer, and finally he had to give up.
This time he really shot himself in the foot.
There was no water or food, no way out, and not even fire... The atmosphere of despair filled the hearts of all the mermaid warriors.
Looking at the river fish stranded in the maze corridor, Sodo couldn't help but think of himself, feeling angry and furious, as well as a little sad.
I don't know what the situation is like with the Earth Dragon Clan...
Just as he used a harpoon to pick up the fish on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth to satisfy his hunger, he did not notice that there were flickering soul fires swaying in the darkness.
They were the people from Long Xing Tian Xia Guild.
Just as Long Xingwanli had expected, skeletons are not afraid of water, and the soul fire burning in their skulls is not real fire.
Although he lost several brothers in the flood, the vast majority of them survived, including his mount - [the No. 1 Pig in the country].
"Brother... those guys don't look easy to deal with. Should we really attack them?" Looking at the merman-like monsters not far away, Guofu brother swallowed his saliva and whispered nervously, "I guess they are at least level 20... maybe even higher."
"Let alone level 20, what if it's level 40? Level doesn't mean everything."
The soul fire in the skull flickered faintly, and Long Xing Wanli stared at the group of mermaids, especially the guy who was suspected to be the BOSS.
His intuition told him.
The harpoon in that guy's hand is much more powerful than the two-handed axe in his hand! Baili glanced at Brother Guofu and said with a smile.
"Don't try to persuade me. Our boss has set his sights on their equipment again. He won't give up until he achieves his goal."
"That should be reasonable... There are only a dozen of us, and a few of us are disabled. How can we win?" The national server said with a helpless smile.
"That's what it looks like on the surface, but their predicament right now is obviously greater than ours." A confident light flashed in Long Xingwanli's skull.
Like the mermaids, they were also lost.
However, they are luckier than the mermaids. As undead and underground creatures, they are born with the ability of night vision, and they also have a complete map of the first floor of the maze!
This is a huge advantage!
And not only that—
"They are probably foreign monsters washed in by the flood. There is no fresh water or food here... They won't be able to hold out for a few days."
Long Xing Wanli carefully observed the team not far away and continued slowly.
"We don't need to fight them head-on, we just need to follow them... like hyenas on the savannah."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the brothers behind him.
"Everyone, this is a golden opportunity! If we are lucky, the experience of these hundreds of mermaids will be ours! Of course, we may lose everything... If you believe in me, let's catch these dead fish on the shore together. If you want to go back first, I won't blame you. After all, many of you have just come here, and what you lack most is contribution, not experience."
Baili said with a nonchalant smile.
"It's up to you to decide. I'll follow you."
Qianli also nodded.
"You make the strategic decisions."
The same goes for the rest of the guild.
This group of people is extremely united, and once they decide on something, they will do it without reservation.
These guild guys are so cruel!
The number one pig in the country was full of admiration, but soon he thought of another thing and suddenly became nervous.
"Brother... But I'm not a ghost. I get hungry too."
Long Xing Wanli: "Go eat something nearby first, and follow me later."
The first pig in the national server: "???"
What the hell?! How can you eat this casually?! (End of this chapter)
