Feilin, who was inspecting the scene at the Luminous Moss field, saw Ange with his skull burning with a dim blue flame, holding a scythe with an overwhelming aura. Maybe sensing Ange’s mood, the Little Zombie and Angel Skeleton following behind him also carried an overwhelming aura.

Feilin had seen Ange’s scythe many times before, and he wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but both the blade and the handle seemed to have grown a bit.

He had originally wanted to report on the situation, but seeing Angels current state, Feilin hesitated.

When Aisike arrived, Feilin immediately rushed over to ask, ‘What happened? Did you upset the lord?”

Aisike was somewhat confused, and quickly denied, “No, no, don’t make things up. I just told him that the fields were burnt, and he turned into this.”

Feilin looked moved, “It seems that these fields are very important to the lord.

He doesn’t need to eat, but he values the farming technology of the Luminous

Moss so much. He wants to eradicate the technical problems of our

Underground City’s farming once and for all. The lord really cares a lot.”

Aisike suddenly realized, “So that’s it. Yeah, the lord doesn’t need to eat, yet he values this place so much. Farming Luminous Moss is only useful in our Underground City, nowhere else. So, the lord is conducting research for us? He really cares. I’m so touched.”

While these two were indulging in their own fantasies and feeling moved, Ange, who was examining the situation, suddenly looked up as if he’d found something, and rushed towards another entrance.

The location of the Luminous Moss field is in the middle of a cave, a space enlarged due to erosion. There are two entrances to this location; one comes down from the main district of the Underground City, while the other leads to a massive network of underground caves.

The underground caves, sculpted by running water, extend for hundreds, possibly thousands of kilometers. The area where the Underground City is located is just a small part near the surface of these caves.

No one dares venture deep into the network of caves; the complicated routes are easy to get lost in and would trap someone forever unless they have a

Teleportation Scroll or are a Space System Mage themselves.

However, no such rare Space Mage exists in the Underground City, so the exploration of the cave network is done in the most primitive ways, such as tying ropes, marking routes, or using skeletons.

But no matter the method, there have always been losses. So once the Underground City had enough space, Feilin stopped exploring. Creating more space didn’t matter, as the Underground City only housed about five thousand ‘people’ anyway.

The Luminous Moss field was in a frontier area. The passage leading from the main city had been blocked by Feilin, but theoretically, if someone entered from the direction of the cave network, Feilin would not know.

The cave network was so vast that Feilin could not be sure if anyone could come from that direction.

He had also examined the scene of the crime. Apart from seeing a row of melted footprints and speculating that the fire was set by a Lava Demon, Feilin couldn’t find any other clues. He didn’t even know in which direction the demon had fled.

Looking at Ange now, had he found something?

Feilin quickly followed him. Aisike also rushed over, asking while running,

“What happened? Lord, have you found something?”

“It was a Lava Demon.” Feilin said with a serious expression.

“Demon Valley? Lava Demon? Why would it want to burn the lord’s field?” Aisike asked in shock.

Feilin shook his head, “It might not have just burned the lord’s field. When Lisa returned, she told me that several areas in Ice City’s cultivation zone had been set on fire by a Lava Demon. Ice City is currently doing its best to contain that demon. Now this Lava Demon, either it’s a new demon sent by Demon Valley, or it escaped from Ice City. No matter the case, it won’t stop with just one field. ”

“Have they gone mad? Setting fire to our fields? Starving us to death? What’s the point, even if they starve us all? For world domination? We’re not stopping them, there’s plenty of areas in this world ripe for development, even if they want to build towns above ground, we won’t block them. Let’s see if they can withstand the Resting Wind. Why burn our fields?”

Aisike stomped his foot. The restriction on this world’s development was the Resting Wind. If they could cultivate farms above ground, feeding billions wouldn’t be an issue. Even if they couldn’t farm above ground, there were various underground caverns, valleys, and canyons not to be missed, with abundant places available for development. No one was preventing them from cultivating and occupying, so why burn the fields?

Feilin laughed, shook his head, and said, “Child, you’re still too naive. If all our fields and food were burnt, and Demon Valley still had stocks, what do you think those starved madmen would be willing to pay?

Aisike, a man in his fifties being called a child, was choked with anger. But considering Feilin’s age, he swallowed his retort. He was indeed a child compared to the thousand-year-old Feilin, but his intelligence was intact to discern the meaning of Feilin’s words.

“If that’s the case, I would even be willing to give up my life, my soul. How cruel.”

“Exactly, utterly cruel. Otherwise, why would they be called demons? Deceiving people’s hearts, buying souls, it’s all part of their expertise,” Feilin sighed regretfully.

As they spoke, Ange up ahead suddenly made a turn and burrowed into one of the caverns above.

The underground water has carved out such caverns. Some parts are straight-through, some are full of holes, each hole leading to a different place, tangled and complex. Once inside, they could end up anywhere.

Seeing Ange enter the cavern above, Little Zombie and the Angel Skeleton followed without hesitation. However, Feilin and Aisike hesitated. If they rushed in without any preparation, and Ange chose the wrong direction, they could easily get lost inside.

What to do? After exchanging glances, Feilin gritted his teeth. “The caverns above, worst case scenario, we end up above ground. Follow him.”

The caverns leading upward are safer, as most lead to the ground. So, if you get lost underground, it’s best to ascend. There’s a very high chance you can escape.

Atter several turns in the cavern, encountering countless torks, Ange strode ahead as if knowing where to go. After a certain distance, they suddenly entered a familiar passage.

“Huh, this place looks familiar, have I been here before?” Before Aisike could recollect, he felt intense waves of heat from up ahead; something was burning.

Ange was indeed heading towards where the heat was coming from. Aisike hurriedly followed, and the closer he got, the more familiar the environment looked. As they rounded the corner into a stretch of open space, Aisike finally recognized it. “No. 3 Sky Pit, this is the No. 3 Sky Pit. Oh God, the No. 3 Sky Pit is on fire?”

Racing into the No. 3 Sky Pit, as expected, all the fields and crops were ablaze, roaring flames consuming everything. Also, there were two large footprints pressing on the Illumination Magic Array on the rock wall, identical to the ones they had found in the Luminous Moss fields.

“Kvada, I %#&*@ you Demon Valley all!” Unable to hold back, Aisike let out a string of curses. Feilin’s face darkened, like water was about to drip from it.

Ange surveyed the surroundings before diving into one of the passages. Feilin and Aisike didn’t hesitate this time around, following him. The situation in the No. 3 Sky Pit demonstrated that Ange was indeed on the trail of the enemy.

The No. 3 Sky Pit was connected to the No. 2 Sky Pit. Upon entering the passage, they immediately felt heat waves coming from the other end. As expected, No. 2 Sky Pit was also ablaze.

Losing two Sky Pits worth of fields and crops all at once, Feilin and Aisike were consumed with rage – they felt like tearing their enemy apart.

After circling around, Ange surprisingly climbed up the rock wall.

“How did the Lord know the demon had climbed up?” Feilin and Aisike, half doubtful, flew after him. They chased Ange for several kilometers, and they saw a Lava Demon flapping its wings, skimming the ground..
