Chapter 163

"Squeak!"

A gigantic cave spider appeared.

After this cave spider appeared, all the cave spiders launched their attack!

In an instant, cave spiders surged wildly toward Gray Keep.

The dwarves, relying on their torches, managed to resist at first, but were gradually driven back by the cave spiders!

"Everyone to the top!"

The leader of Gray Keep shouted.

The dwarves rushed to the highest level of Gray Keep, narrowing their defensive line.

The cave spiders charging up were continuously burned to death, but there were countless more behind them.

And the dwarves' torches were nearly extinguished!

Torches are not endless.

"What do we do, leader!"

One of the dwarves panicked!

"Pray!"

The leader of Gray Keep said.

It was the only solution he could think of.

They had already submitted to the Lord of Flame; in emergencies, they could only pray to the Lord of Flame!

Thus, thousands of dwarves began praying to the Lord of Flame!

"Cave spiders?"

In Lin Yan's virtual deity's processing mechanism, once the number of believers praying for the same thing simultaneously reached over a thousand, Lin Yan would know.

The number of praying dwarves in Gray Keep reached several thousand; Lin Yan naturally knew.

He opened the Faith Line channel and saw the situation through the Faith Line!

"Cave creatures?"

Lin Yan passed through the Faith Line channel.

In Gray Keep, as the cave spiders were about to fully breach the dwarves' defense, suddenly, a great fire erupted!

"Boom!"

The fire spread with extraordinary speed.

In an instant, flames blazed across the entire cliff face outside Gray Keep.

This sight was astonishing!

The fire was so intense it illuminated the entire underground space.

On the cliff face, countless cave spiders were burned to death by Lin Yan.

He was no longer what he had been—he no longer needed wind to spread fire.

He could directly use energy points to ignite flames and cause widespread combustion.

The fire came quickly and vanished even faster.

Because cave spiders burned too easily.

Inside Gray Keep, thousands of dwarves cheered!

They had truly felt the power of the Lord of Flame this time.

More importantly, the god had heard their prayers and responded when they faced mortal peril—that was what moved these dwarves to gratitude.

At this moment, even the leader of Gray Keep, who had once intended to unify the Eight Clans, was deeply grateful to the Lord of Flame; he would now willingly serve him!

Dwarves' nature is like this—direct and straightforward.

Yet, vast numbers of cave spiders continued emerging from cracks in the cliff face.

Lin Yan did not pause; he burned downward along the cliff's fissures.

In a mine tunnel leading underground, the entire passage was filled with cave spiders.

Lin Yan continued burning downward, turning the entire mine tunnel into a graveyard of cave spiders!

There were too many cave spiders; he couldn't tell where they were crawling from.

Yet, though these cave spiders were large, they contributed few evolution points.

Often, only one out of every one or two hundred would yield one evolution point.

Even so, Lin Yan gained several thousand evolution points—this revealed just how numerous the cave spiders were.

In comparison, energy points were slightly more abundant.

Lin Yan burned downward, intending to reach the source of the cave spiders.

After all, evolution points were being earned!

This mine tunnel was exceptionally long—perhaps dozens of kilometers.

Yet, the entire length of this tunnel was filled with cave spiders!

Soon, Lin Yan burst out of this tunnel, below which lay a deep, dark passage.

He continued burning downward.

The cave spiders remained endless.

"Where are these cave spiders coming from?"

Lin Yan felt astonished.

There were too many cave spiders!

Too many—almost terrifying.

The cave spiders he's burned to death—there must be several million of them by now!

Lin Yan also gained over ten thousand evolution points from this.

"Let's see where you lot came from!"

Lin Yan didn't pause at all, continuing to burn downward.

Anyway, with evolution points and energy points coming in, this was the perfect chance to see where these creatures came from!

Within that deep, dark passage, flames swept downward at high speed.

Lin Yan controlled the temperature of the flames, so that during the intense burning, more energy points could be saved.

Although he had plenty of energy points now, Lin Yan still wouldn't waste them.

No one would complain about having too much capital!

These cave spiders weren't particularly strong—just numerous, and they carried venom. Flames of over a thousand degrees were more than enough to burn them dead.

Burning them to death was still quite a bargain.

Energy points galore.

Lin Yan burned his way down like this.

Measured by surface time, nearly a full day had passed.

The deep, dark passage had finally reached its end.

Yet the cave spiders remained endless.

The number of cave spiders burned to death by Lin Yan was probably in the tens of millions!

However, once this deep passage came to an end, Lin Yan saw that below lay a vast space.

This vast space was enormously large—the height alone was probably over a thousand meters, and the width was beyond estimation.

Even more astonishing was that right in the middle of this vast space, there was a pitch-black hole.

This black hole had a diameter of at least over ten kilometers!

The cave spiders were crawling out of that black hole in an endless stream.

And beside this pitch-black hole, there was an underground city of considerable scale!

The flames in the underground city illuminated the edge of the black hole, becoming the sole light source in this space.

At this moment, beside this underground city, many subterranean creatures had gathered, each craning their necks to watch the cave spiders continuously crawling out of the underground city!

Miraculously, the cave spiders that attacked the dwarven Greyfort did not attack this underground city.

When Lin Yan appeared bearing towering flames, he immediately drew the attention of the subterranean creatures in this underground city.

These subterranean creatures looked over one after another and saw a ball of flame burning its way down along the path of the cave spiders.

"Huh? Why are the cave spiders on fire? Were they attacked by a fire-type mage?"

In the underground city, some subterranean creatures showed puzzlement.
