Chapter 30: The Lord is Too Thoughtful

~8 min read 1,522 words

Fei Lin, who was checking the scene in the glowing moss field, saw Ang with a ghost-blue flame on his head, holding a sickle, and looking fierce. Perhaps sensing Ang's mood, the little zombie and the angel skeleton following behind him were also fierce.

Fei Lin had seen Ang's sickle several times. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the blade and handle of the sickle seemed to have grown a little.

Originally wanted to go up to report the situation, but seeing Ang in this state, Fei Lin hesitated.

Aisike arrived, and Fei Lin hurriedly leaned over to ask: "What's going on? Did you make the Lord angry?"

Aisike was also a bit confused. Hearing this, he hurriedly denied: "No, nothing, don't talk nonsense. I just said the farmland was burned, and the Lord became like this."

Fei Lin showed a moved expression: "It seems that this field is very valued by the Lord. The Lord doesn't need to eat, but he values the glowing moss planting technology so much. He wants to solve the farming technology problem of our underground city once and for all. Lord, the Lord is really too thoughtful."

Aisike suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Right, the Lord doesn't need to eat, but he values this place so much. Glowing moss farming, except for our underground city, other places can't use it. So, the Lord is doing research and development for us? Too thoughtful, too moved."

The two guys were brain-supplementing themselves, moved to tears. When Ang, who was checking the situation, suddenly raised his head, as if he had discovered some trail, and rushed out through another entrance.

The location of the glowing moss field was in the middle section of a karst cave, an expanded space due to erosion. Reaching here had two entrances. One was down from the main area of the underground city, but the other end was toward a vast underground karst cave group.

The underground karst cave cut out by flowing water extended in all directions, moving hundreds or thousands of kilometers. This area where the underground city main area was located was just a very small piece close to the ground in the underground karst cave.

No one dared to go deep into the underground karst cave group. That intricate route, once lost, might never come out, unless there was a teleportation scroll, or one was a space mage.

However, there wasn't. The underground city didn't have such a rare space mage, so the exploration of the underground karst cave group adopted the most primitive way—tying ropes, drawing marks, releasing skeletons.

But no matter which one, losses occurred from time to time. So when the space used by the underground city was enough, Fei Lin no longer explored. Exploring more space had no meaning. The underground city only had these five thousand 'people'.

The glowing moss field belonged to the edge area. The passage from the main city area had been blocked by Fei Lin, but theoretically, if someone could enter from the direction of the underground karst cave group, Fei Lin wouldn't know.

The underground karst cave group was too vast, and Fei Lin didn't dare to be sure if anyone could come from that direction.

He had also investigated the crime scene. Except for seeing a row of melted big footprints and inferring that the one setting the fire was a lava demon, Fei Lin couldn't find other clues, not even knowing which direction the demon ran.

Now seeing Ang in this state, could it be that he discovered something?

Fei Lin hurriedly chased after him, and Aisike also hurriedly followed, asking while running: "What's wrong? City Lord, any discoveries?"

"It was done by a lava demon," Fei Lin said with a solemn expression.

"Demon Valley? Lava demon? Why did he come to burn the Lord's field?" Aisike asked in shock.

Fei Lin shook his head: "He might not only burn the Lord's field. When Lisha returned, she told me that the planting area of Cold Bingcheng had been burned by a lava demon in several places. Cold Bingcheng is now fully surrounding and blocking that demon. Now this lava demon, either it's a new demon sent by Demon Valley, or it escaped from Cold Bingcheng. No matter which situation, he won't stop after burning only one farmland."

"Are they crazy? Why burn our fields? Want to starve us to death? Even if we all starve to death, what's the point? Dominate the world? We didn't stop them. There are areas available for development everywhere in this world. Even if they want to build a city on the ground, we won't stop them. See if they can withstand the Breath of Breath. Why burn our fields?"

Aisike jumped and scolded. What limited the development of this world was the Breath of Breath. If farmland could be reclaimed on the ground, feeding hundreds of millions of people wouldn't be a problem. Even if things couldn't be planted on the ground, there were plenty of underground karst caves, mountain valleys, and canyons. There was sufficient space for development, and no one stopped them from developing and occupying. Why burn farmland?

Fei Lin smiled and shook his head: "Child, you are still too simple. If our farmland and food are all burned, but Demon Valley has food, what price do you think those starving crazy people would be willing to pay?"

Aisike, who was fifty-something but called a child, had a breath stuck in his chest, but as soon as he thought of Fei Lin's age, he obediently swallowed it back. Compared to the thousand-year-old Fei Lin, he was indeed a child, but his IQ was no problem, and he could hear the meaning of Fei Lin's words.

"If it's really like that, even if it's my life, my soul, I'm afraid I'd be willing. Too vicious."

"Yes, too vicious. Otherwise, why are they called demons? Bewitching people's hearts and buying souls are their strengths," Fei Lin sighed.

As he spoke, Ang in front suddenly turned a corner and drilled into one of the karst caves above.

The karst cave washed out by underground water, some places were connected to the end, some places were riddled with holes, and the places connected by each hole might be different, intricate and complex. Drilling in might not know where it would lead.

Seeing Ang enter the karst cave above, the little zombie and the angel skeleton followed without hesitation, but Fei Lin and Aisike couldn't help but hesitate. Drilling in rashly without any preparation, they might be lost inside if Ang didn't find the right direction.

What to do? After looking at each other for a while, Fei Lin gritted his teeth: "The karst cave going up, at worst go to the ground. Follow."

The karst cave going up would be safer because the vast majority would lead to the ground. So if lost in an underground karst cave, the best way was to go up, and there was a great probability of being able to get out of trouble.

Walking through the karst cave, encountering countless forks, but Ang was like seeing something, without any hesitation. After walking for an unknown distance, he suddenly entered a familiar passage.

"Eh, this place is so familiar, have I been here?" Before Aisike could recognize it, he felt the rolling heat wave coming from the front, as if something was burning.

Ang was also chasing in the direction of the heat wave. Aisike hurriedly followed. The closer he got, the more familiar he felt with the environment in front of him, until after turning into a space, Aisike finally recognized it: "Sinkhole No. 3, this is Sinkhole No. 3. Heavens, Sinkhole No. 3 is on fire?"

Rushing into Sinkhole No. 3, sure enough, all the farmlands in the whole pit, including the crops inside, were burning with raging flames at this moment. And on the lighting magic array on the rock wall, two big footprints were stepped on. The shape was exactly the same as the one found in the glowing moss field.

"Ku Ba Da, I ¥&*#&@* all of you in Demon Valley!" Aisike couldn't help but curse angrily, and Fei Lin's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.

Ang looked around, drilled into one of the passages, and Fei Lin and Aisike followed without hesitation. The situation in Sinkhole No. 3 showed that Ang was really trailing the other party.

Sinkhole No. 3 and Sinkhole No. 2 were connected. Entering the passage, one could immediately feel the heat wave coming from the other end. Sure enough, Sinkhole No. 2 was also burning.

Losing the farmlands and crops of two sinkholes at once, Fei Lin and Aisike were furious, wishing they could tear the enemy apart.

After Ang circled around, he actually climbed up along the rock wall.

"How did the Lord know the demon climbed up?" Fei Lin and Aisike followed half-believingly, chased for several kilometers behind Ang, and actually saw a lava demon flapping its wings, sliding along the ground. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
