Chapter 1409: Searching for Underground Water Sources

Yes!

Hearing the Demon God's words, those Demon soldiers spoke in unison.

"Then go down and prepare now. Once the matter is done, it will be the moment for us to begin our march on Dark City." The Demon God spoke calmly.

Yes!

Hearing the Demon God's order, those Demon soldiers immediately left the tent.

"Truly unexpected that you, young one, could think of such a method. Not bad, not bad!" A Demon soldier immediately, without hesitation, praised another soldier beside him.

Hearing that person's words of praise, that soldier hurriedly expressed humility.

"No need for courtesy. This is merely added combat experience after following my lord for so long; it just came to mind for a moment."

"Just keep being humble. Once this matter is completed, if my lord is pleased, he might bestow a heavy reward."

"If that truly happens, I will borrow your auspicious words."

Then, the two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Afterwards, the Demon soldier who spoke first said, "Since that is so, there is no time to lose; let us begin the action immediately."

"However, although it is called poisoning, I have not yet thought of how to do it!"

"That is simple. Within Dark City, there are many underground water sources connecting to the wells in the city. As long as we find the water source, then everything will be settled." That Demon soldier spoke.

Hearing that Demon soldier's words, that Demon soldier nodded and said, "Mm, execute according to the plan you proposed!"

Hearing that Demon soldier's words, that soldier responded with a smile.

Dark City, at the north gate of Dark City, facing east, approximately four or five hundred meters away.

Outside the city wall, there was a very large pool of water.

At this time, it was early spring; the water in the pool was not too deep.

Beside the pool, on a protruding rock, stood more than ten Demon soldiers.

Those Demon soldiers were spread out in a row, seemingly observing the situation beneath the water.

In a short while, bubbles gurgled up from beneath the water, and several heads emerged.

Several Demon soldiers who had dived beneath the water gently shook their heads at the few Demon soldiers standing on the shore.

"No undercurrent found; this means this is not a river below!"

One of the Demon soldiers said.

Hearing these words, the Demon soldiers standing on the shore frowned slightly and said in quick succession, "Continue searching. Only after confirming every inch of the corner should you move to the next pool."

Yes!

Hearing this statement, those Demon soldiers who had dived beneath the water all responded in agreement.

As time slowly passed, after the duration of a cup of tea, another Demon soldier emerged from beneath the water.

Seeing that Demon soldier surface, a Demon soldier asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

That Demon soldier who had dived beneath the water shook his head and said, "Not yet found. We have almost looked through all the lake bottoms..."

As he spoke, bubbles began to rise from other places, followed by heads emerging one by one. They were also gently shaking their heads, indicating they had not found any undercurrent.

Seeing this scene, the Demon soldiers standing on the shore all had their faces turn somewhat grim.

They had originally hoped to find an undercurrent, but now it seems they have no such opportunity!

"Enough. Since that is the case, pack up, prepare to leave, and go to the next place to begin searching." The leading Demon soldier spoke.

Yes!

Following the order issued by that leading Demon soldier, these Demon soldiers hurriedly nodded.

However, as the Demon soldiers in the pool climbed ashore one by one, they discovered that one of their own seemed to be missing.

Huh, why is one missing this time? Could it be that he has not yet come up from the pool?

A Demon soldier asked in confusion.

Hearing that soldier's words, that leading Demon soldier also looked blankly at the other few soldiers who had just entered the water.

The few of them also repeatedly shook their heads, indicating they had not noticed.
