Yang Yi found the seemingly dead Tinder Wool Spider Queen in the nest and called Su Na to collect her for research. He then discovered a stone statue that triggered an oath prerequisite quest from the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs, leaving him urged to make an offering.

• Yang Yi followed the nest’s main passage, gathered giant spider tissue, and encountered the enormous Tinder Wool Spider Queen.
• Yang Yi shot off several of the Queen’s legs, confirmed she did not move, and identified her as an evolving Spider Queen before contacting Su Na.

• Yang Yi crushed newly hatched spiders as more emerged, unaware that the Queen’s eyelids had moved.
• Yang Yi entered the egg chamber and recognized a rock formation as a spider-like shape with a human figure atop it.
• The statue triggered a quest requiring offerings to the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs, and Yang Yi heard the entity repeatedly demand an offering.

Yang Yi rejected the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs and destroyed her statue, despite the terrifying loss of Sanity. The statue’s collapse left him contaminated with a mutated three-eyed left eye, and he turned to face the injured spider queen.

• Yang Yi resisted the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs’ influence and chose to destroy her statue rather than complete the oath quest.

• Yang Yi received a message from Su Na, who said she was coming to check on him.
• Yang Yi tested his new vision modes, dodged a strand of spider silk, and faced the spider queen as she emerged with two broken front legs.

Yang Yi used the Crimson Potion and his spider-silk gear to fight the Spider Queen, severing her humanoid head and blinding most of her eyes. The Spider Queen climbed onto the cavern ceiling, leaving Yang Yi with little silk and one final chance to attack.

• Yang Yi’s stamina dwindled as he damaged the Spider Queen’s last compound eye, leaving her with only one large eye.
• The Spider Queen shot silk to the cavern ceiling and crawled upside down beyond Yang Yi’s reach.

Yang Yi blinded the Spider Queen with a meteor hammer, but after his potion wore off, he lost his own sight as well. Su Na found him and suspected his brain had blocked his vision to cope with the overloaded signals from his mutated eye.

• Yang Yi baited the Spider Queen into diving at him and drove his meteor hammer into her last eye, but her collision badly injured him.

• Su Na examined Yang Yi's mutated left eye and explained that his brain might have blocked his vision to avoid overload.
• Su Na gave Yang Yi a piece of insect shell to cover his left eye and block its visual signals.

Yang Yi returned to the Nightmare Star with Su Na after killing the spider queen, then discovered that facing the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs had unlocked a dangerous Extraordinary Path through pollution. He hid the details from Su Na and fell asleep while she dissected the spider queen’s head.

• Su Na and Yang Yi removed the spider queen’s head and a humanoid head from the cave, then returned to the ship with the spider head.
• Su Na hauled Yang Yi aboard with a grappling hook and gave him a makeshift eye patch before returning to her laboratory.
• Yang Yi checked his status and discovered that his pollution depth was 6%, his left eye had mutated into Three Eyes, and his sanity was only 3.
• Yang Yi decided not to tell Su Na that low sanity could unlock the Extraordinary Path, then asked her to watch the Sea Chart while she worked in the laboratory.
• Yang Yi received an offer to buy flint on the World Channel, judged the price too high, checked the Sea Chart, and fell asleep.

After recovering his sight, Yang Yi found a Giant Tinder Wool Spider corpse and upgraded the Nightmare Star to level 3, gaining tougher defenses and new ship skills. He then built and upgraded two Ancient War Rooms with Waterlogged Cannons, while the materials needed for level 4 left him postponing the next upgrade.

• Yang Yi tested his recovered vision through his Three Eyes and messaged Su Na that he was going ashore to find a Giant Tinder Wool Spider corpse.
• After searching the woods, Yang Yi found a Giant Tinder Wool Spider on his way back and returned to the Nightmare Star.
• Yang Yi used supplies from Hu Wei's ship to upgrade the Nightmare Star to level 3, adding skeletal-arm protection and raising its durability to 4,500.
• Yang Yi dismantled Hu Wei's ship, built two Ancient War Rooms, and tested their Waterlogged Cannons on rocks near shore.
• Yang Yi upgraded both Ancient War Rooms to level 2, increasing the cannons' range to 350 meters, then put off the costly level 4 ship upgrade.

Yang Yi stopped Su Na from pursuing a dangerous method of bodily evolution, then tested the upgraded Nightmare Star and discovered that the island behind him was sinking. He read the latest newspaper, learned why fire strikers were flooding the market, and continued preparing to leave before the black fog reached him.

• Yang Yi found Su Na in the Witch Laboratory with her Sanity at 49, excitedly explaining that Spider Queens could consciously reshape their bodies and presenting a syringe of extracted cerebrospinal fluid.
• Yang Yi threatened to tear off any strange limbs Su Na grafted onto herself, and she destroyed her unfinished potion; her Sanity rose to 51, and she said the Energy-Recovery Potion still needed a few days.
• Su Na discovered that the Nightmare Star had reached level three, while Yang Yi tested its improved acceleration and saw an earthquake shrink the island by several hundred square meters.
• Yang Yi bought the Great Newspaper's weekly issue, sold information about Tinder Wool Spiders for 400 Conch Coins, and learned that a White Rose revolver had sold for 120,000 Conch Coins.
• Yang Yi read that players were harvesting Lava Slugs to produce fire-striker blueprints and lighters, but decided against sailing to the distant volcanic island because the black fog might swallow it before he arrived.

Yang Yi and Su Na returned to the sinking island to harvest spider corpses, but Yang Yi read the ancient writing in the nest and learned Limb-Spider Magic at the cost of nearly all his Sanity. They finished gathering supplies and prepared a raft, then watched the island sink by another quarter.

• Yang Yi and Su Na explored the spider nest, found ants consuming the spiders, and collected Tinder Wool Spider Hair, eggs, and corpses.
• Yang Yi read the writing on the Egg Chamber ceiling with Three Eyes, lost nearly all his Sanity, and learned Limb-Spider Magic from the complete Limb Spider's Book.
• Yang Yi dismembered the Spider Queen and used the Nightmare Star's grappling claw to bring her abdomen aboard.
• Yang Yi checked his panel, examined his four new spells, and continued harvesting spider corpses while Su Na collected them elsewhere on the island.
• Yang Yi made a simple raft from logs and spider silk, and another earthquake sank a quarter of the island.

Yang Yi used the Tinder Wool Spider hair to craft and sell woolen clothing, while Su Na tried to learn about the cave’s ancient symbols. After selling all four sets to Shen Guanquan, Yang Yi called Su Na back and prepared for the next day as the island continued to sink.

• Yang Yi refused to draw the cave’s ancient characters for Su Na, then gave her an abstract spider-like sketch.
• Yang Yi used tissue from two giant Tinder Wool Spiders in the gacha and received a Low-Tier Artisan Inscribed Stone and an Insect Carapace Heart Guard.
• Yang Yi traded his machete for salt, made four sweaters and four pairs of woolen pants, and sold all four sets to Shen Guanquan for 16,000 Conch Coins.
• Yang Yi turned away later buyers, called Su Na back from the Witch Laboratory, and got ready to sleep.
• Shen Guanquan gave sweaters to his subordinates but denied Zhao Tie Tou one after Zhao suggested wearing multiple padded coats instead.

Yang Yi gathered timber while Su Na awakened a new supernatural path and developed a potion that accelerated recovery by increasing appetite. The pale-yellow potion worked, but Yang Yi secretly hid the stronger orange-yellow bottle, wary of its effects.

• Yang Yi sailed to the shrinking island, cut down its remaining trees, and recovered 635 units of timber.
• Su Na created the Curling Touch spell while in a madness state, unlocked the supernatural path Truth, and collapsed from the strain.
• Su Na recovered, completed the Energy-Recovery Potion, and gave Yang Yi two versions made from Glutton's gastric juice.
• Yang Yi drank the pale-yellow potion, ate until he became well-fed, and praised Su Na after learning the potion's recovery benefits.
• Yang Yi concealed the stronger orange-yellow potion, fearing that it would make him ravenous enough to eat the ship.

After the island sank, Yang Yi headed for the Extreme Winter Sea and spent two days making Tinder Wool Sweaters to sell. With his earnings, he planned to upgrade his equipment and stock supplies, while arranging more potions from Su Na.

• Yang Yi sailed toward the Extreme Winter Sea after the island and the Limb Spider's Book-or Temple disappeared beneath the sea.
• Yang Yi finished 31 Tinder Wool Sweaters and sold them to Yu Dawei, Xu Da, other interested players, and Shen Guanquan.
• Xu Da told Yang Yi that the Extreme Winter Sea had dangerous ice floes, freezing temperatures, scarce fishing, and a white fog farther in.
• He Qi showed Yang Yi his Fluffy Seal Fur Coat and explained that his ship's fishing skills helped him catch fish and rare items.
• Yang Yi's sales raised his balance to 76,800 Conch Coins, and he transferred 6,800 to Su Na while asking her to make another Crimson Potion.
• Yang Yi kept the Vitality Coconut Juice Refresher for Su Na and began shopping for equipment, weapons, and food.

Yang Yi stocked up on food and dried fruit for the coming Extreme Winter Sea, then searched the market for a long weapon to help him fight large creatures. He narrowed his choices to three Fine-quality weapons but had not bought one when a seller offered him a colossal sword relic.

• Yang Yi bought 200 loaves of Black Bread, 100 sausages, and 2.5 kilograms of dried apples to prepare for the Extreme Winter Sea.
• Yang Yi advertised for a long melee weapon after realizing his short weapons made it hard to fight large creatures.
• Yang Yi narrowed his weapon choices to a great horse-slaying saber, a two-handed greatsword, and a refined steel spear.
• Yang Yi favored the two-handed greatsword, but its seller refused to lower the 20,000-Conch-Coin price.
• A player privately messaged Yang Yi to offer a colossal sword relic.

Yang Yi bought the Relic greatsword Broken Iron after bargaining with its seller, then discovered it was haunted by a Fear Spirit that drained Sanity. His frenzy state made him immune to the spirit, which soon gave up and returned to the sword.

• Yang Yi inspected Broken Iron and learned that it required extreme Strength to wield and came with unknown side effects.
• Yang Yi bargained the seller down to 38,000 Conch Coins and received the greatsword from the Octopus-Head Gacha Machine.
• The seller warned Yang Yi to wrap Broken Iron in cloth when it was not in use, then blocked him before explaining further.
• A Fear Spirit emerged from the sword's reflection and repeatedly passed through Yang Yi, reducing his Sanity by 5 each time.
• Yang Yi entered a frenzy state when his Sanity fell below 50, resisted the Fear Spirit's attacks, and watched it return to Broken Iron.

Yang Yi prepared for the Extreme Winter Sea by buying cold-weather supplies and armor-piercing arrows, then enhanced the Sea Serpent's Fang into a Treasured weapon with a fire attack. The Nightmare Star was two days from the new sea as Yang Yi continued fishing and considered how to improve Su Na's combat power.

• Yang Yi wrapped Broken Iron and stored it, then bought flint, down clothing, padded hats, and fleece-lined boots with his remaining funds.
• The next day, Yang Yi fished from the Nightmare Star and discovered that the Captain's Skeleton was only a decoration.
• Unable to afford a strong bow, Yang Yi bought 40 triangular armor-piercing arrows for Su Na and left them in her room.
• Yang Yi used the Low-Tier Artisan Inscribed Stone to enhance the Sea Serpent's Fang.
• The enhanced Scorching Sea Serpent's Fang gained the ability to release a fan of flames, though doing so left it dull for a time.

Yang Yi discovered that the Nightmare Star’s skeletal arms could help with tasks and started using fire to cook fish, while Su Na put the arms to work in her laboratory. Three days later, as the ship neared the Extreme Winter Sea, Yang Yi awoke from a disturbing nightmare and found the weather already turning cold.

• Yang Yi lit a campfire in the Atrium and found that skeletal arms could respond to his needs, holding fish and Eyeball Fruits over the flames.
• Yang Yi learned that Su Na already used the skeletal arms as laboratory assistants and saw that she was raising juvenile Tinder Wool Spiders for experiments.
• Three days later, Yang Yi awoke from a nightmare of a woman’s face growing from his shoulder, lost 10 Sanity, and resolved to avoid the Witch Laboratory.
• Yang Yi checked the weather and saw that temperatures had fallen to 2–7°C before the Nightmare Star entered the Extreme Winter Sea.

Yang Yi caught an Iron-Crowned Jellyfish and used its hardened head as a pot before spotting a strange, long-haired figure crawling on an island near the Extreme Winter Sea. He and Su Na planned to investigate the figure the next day, while Yang Yi wondered what had happened to its ship.

• Su Na bundled up against the cold, and Yang Yi exercised and checked the fish drying over the fire.
• Yang Yi caught an Iron-Crowned Jellyfish, discovered its melted body numbed his tongue, and saved the liquid as Sichuan pepper oil while keeping its hard head as a pot.
• Yang Yi spotted an island on the Sea Chart, changed course, and sailed toward it.
• Yang Yi saw a boat and a green-eyed figure with a plaid shirt crawling near the island’s shore, then called Su Na to look.
• Su Na suspected the figure’s body had changed and suggested catching and dissecting it, but Yang Yi sailed away until morning.
• Yang Yi considered why the figure’s ship was missing and speculated that the system reclaimed ships after their owners died.

Yang Yi and Su Na went ashore on the island and discovered that its strange inhabitants were half-werewolves infected with feral wolf disease. After killing a second group, they prepared to take an intact corpse back to the Nightmare Star for study.

• Yang Yi fired a cannon at two half-werewolves on the shore, killing them before he and Su Na landed on the island.
• Su Na examined one corpse and concluded that feral wolf disease was likely transmitted through wounds, then stored the body for laboratory study.
• Three more half-werewolves charged from the woods, and Yang Yi and Su Na killed them with a Flintlock, the Sea Serpent's Fang, and armor-piercing arrows.
• Su Na returned to the Nightmare Star while Yang Yi dragged the surviving hairy half-werewolf's corpse into position for the grappling claw to haul aboard.

Yang Yi investigated the half-werewolf corpses on the island and found signs that Zhou Dai’s expedition had ended in disaster. He located Zhou Dai’s invisible Radiant Goddess Ship offshore, then decided to return to shore and cautiously investigate the island.

• Yang Yi searched the half-werewolf corpses and found survival gear, Holy Water, and clues suggesting they had been well equipped.
• Yang Yi recalled Zhou Dai’s plan to tackle a Werewolf island and suspected the corpses belonged to her expedition, though their intact bodies did not fit a Werewolf attack.
• Yang Yi contacted Zhou Dai and confirmed her account was still active, then used Peering to locate the Radiant Goddess Ship near the island.
• Yang Yi used Three Eyes to see the invisible ship, but a force field stopped him from boarding it.
• Yang Yi concluded that Zhou Dai was probably on the island and chose to continue exploring despite the danger.
• Yang Yi returned the Nightmare Star to shore and planned to investigate the corpses before approaching the ancient ship on the island.

Yang Yi investigated the half-werewolves’ den, where he found human remains and a hidden cache of weapons and armor. He left with the equipment and growing questions about the battle that had taken place on the island.

• Yang Yi asked Su Na whether she could make a poison to kill the island’s werewolves, but she warned that their fast metabolism made toxins ineffective and cautioned him about mad wolf disease.
• Yang Yi suited up and returned to the island, where he shot a scavenging Sea Crow and followed the half-werewolves’ tracks and food scraps into the woods.
• Yang Yi found the half-werewolves’ den and identified bones belonging to at least eight players; a cleanly cut vertebra led him to wonder whether there had been infighting or other creatures on the island.
• Yang Yi discovered a cache of weapons and armor beneath the den’s branches, including a Hunting Bow he thought would suit Su Na and a Chainmail he put on.
• Yang Yi tested a repeating crossbow, stored the recovered equipment in his Stomach Pouch, and left to look for traces of the island’s battlefield.

Yang Yi investigated the island battlefield and pieced together how a massacre and the spread of Feral Wolf Disease might be connected to the players who landed there. He found a Holy Casket that seemed to have held a living creature, but his Stomach Pouch refused to store it, so he carried it toward the giant ship to search for more clues.

• Yang Yi found signs that players had defeated the werewolves, buried their dead, and later turned into half-werewolves after contracting Feral Wolf Disease.
• Yang Yi discovered a Gray Werewolf's Claw and reasoned that the werewolves had been driven off, though he found no bodies.
• Yang Yi followed bloody tracks near the ancient giant ship and concluded that a massacre had occurred, with half-werewolves dragging away five bodies.
• Yang Yi found an open Holy Casket and suspected that opening it had released a living creature responsible for the massacre.
• Yang Yi tried to put the Holy Casket into the Stomach Pouch, but it spat the casket out, so he carried it toward the giant ship.

Yang Yi killed a reanimated Gray Werewolf outside the enormous ship and discovered that a necromancer was likely nearby. He entered the ship cautiously and found five human heads preserved in glass jars.

• Yang Yi spotted the wounded Gray Werewolf charging at him, then fought it with Flame Spray, a Flintlock shot, and the Sea Serpent's Fang until it died.
• Yang Yi found a silver bullet in the Werewolf's mouth and learned that a caster had revived its corpse with Necromancy.
• Yang Yi stored the charred wolf head, recovered with Holy Water, and climbed into the enormous ship through a cleared window.
• Yang Yi found the ship's interior unusually orderly and saw five human heads soaking in glass jars on a cleaned shelf.

Yang Yi explored the enormous ship, discovered it had belonged to Radiant Church Knights transporting a witch, and learned that the crew had succumbed to a strange disease. The chapter ended when a woman appeared behind him and accused him of killing her watchdog.

• Yang Yi found preserved human heads and rotting organs aboard the ship, initially suspecting a witch had used it as a laboratory.
• Yang Yi discovered a platform where the sacred coffer had likely rested and inspected the ruined equipment of the Radiant Church Knights.
• Yang Yi learned Common Human Language and read a parchment describing the knights' capture of a witch, their shipwreck, and a disease that transformed the crew.
• Yang Yi learned that the parchment's writer had guarded the sacred coffer while his mind and body deteriorated, and realized the ship had belonged to the Radiant Church Knights.
• A woman with her eyes shut appeared behind Yang Yi, accused him of killing her watchdog, and Yang Yi fired his Flintlock without turning around.

Yang Yi fought a Brain-Eating Demon that attacked him aboard a decaying ship and tried to take control of his body. He regained control of some of his limbs and continued punching the creature rather than surrendering.

• Yang Yi blocked the Brain-Eating Demon's sickle strike, then fired in Cannon Mode and blasted through the ship, but the creature dodged and clung to his shoulder.
• The Brain-Eating Demon burrowed tentacles into Yang Yi's neck and began invading his nervous system, causing him to lose control of his limbs.
• Yang Yi repeatedly headbutted the creature, disrupting its control and injuring its face.
• Yang Yi regained partial control, charged into a tree to strike the Brain-Eating Demon, and freed his right hand.
• Yang Yi punched the Brain-Eating Demon in the eye and refused to give up his body, despite her warning that he could be crippled.

Yang Yi used the Limb Restoration Spell to fuse the Brain-Eating Demon to his left shoulder and seized partial control of her body. As he began losing their battle of wills, he considered invoking the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs, terrifying the Brain-Eating Demon.

• Yang Yi lost control of his body while the Brain-Eating Demon prepared to invade his brain and trap him in a dream.
• Yang Yi cast the Limb Restoration Spell, stitching the Brain-Eating Demon onto his left shoulder and gaining control of her body and tentacles.
• Yang Yi and the Brain-Eating Demon fought over control of the tentacles, but Yang Yi gradually lost ground as his thoughts slowed.
• The Brain-Eating Demon realized Yang Yi belonged to the Limb Spider Cult after hearing his thoughts about its spells.
• Yang Yi considered using the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs Invocation Spell to offer the Brain-Eating Demon to the deity, and she cried out in terror.

Yang Yi prepared to summon the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs to destroy the Brain-Eating Demon, but she stopped him and introduced herself as Lady Ronette. She gave him the Stone of Truth for Su Na and asked him to kill her after sharing a drink.

• The Brain-Eating Demon read Yang Yi’s thoughts, withdrew her tentacles, and shared her vision so he could see.
• Lady Ronette explained that the Radiant Church Knights had captured her after Pete betrayed her, and that she had transformed herself into a Brain-Eating Demon to survive.
• Ronette described witches as scholars pursuing Truth and gave Yang Yi the Stone of Truth, intending him to pass it to Su Na.
• Ronette asked Yang Yi how he viewed Otherworldly Demons, then poured him a drink and asked him to keep his promise to kill her.
