Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

It's normal for a beginner to be a little wary, and it didn't really care.

It wasn't leading the way to kill these newbies; it was more about doing them a favor.

Elder Centipede had just mentioned that he had a request, thinking that if he offered to help, these four "demons" would also assist him.

Although there are countless ungrateful demons, what if its goal aligns with the other's? Qiu

Everything is for their own benefit.

Whether it's one newbie, two newbies, or ten newbies, as long as they can help me get what I want, I don't care how many paths they lead.

The four remained vigilant throughout the journey, while Elder Centipede chatted casually about various topics. (Er)

"Which city did you come from? Which earl's territory?"

"It's not convenient to disclose."

While seemingly asking where their hometown is, they are actually probing their strength.

To establish oneself in the Earl's territory, one must be at least a level thirteen or higher demon.

If it's only within a viscount's territory, the maximum level is only thirteen.

"What are you looking for here?"

Have you been to similar places before?

"How many days have you been here?"

These are still seemingly mundane questions, yet they keep asking for information, one after another.

If Layton is told to keep quiet in the chat group, the other three members of the Saintess Squad won't be foolish enough to reveal information on their own.

The answer is;

"It's not convenient to disclose."

"It's not convenient to say."

"It's not convenient to talk about that."

Elder Centipede wasn't angry. He would ask if he could get the answer, and if not, he would let it go.

Its concern wasn't whether it could extract information, but rather whether these four "demons" would suddenly attack and kill it.

After all, the questions it asked were indeed too obvious in their intent.

However, since the other party is not stupid, my inquiry has become a test of their bottom line.

I don't know when it will hit rock bottom, but since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well chat.

If things don't look good, just stop.

Elder Centipede only stopped asking questions when An Yi said, "That's enough."

At the same time, I also had a rough assessment of the bottom line of these people.

In short, these four "demons" currently have no intention of killing it, and they are not considered to be the type with a violent temper among demons.

If it has a short temper, just shut it up after it asks a couple of questions.

After an unknown amount of time, tiny purple specks of light began to appear in the rainforest, like fireflies emitting purple light dancing in the rainforest.

"We're almost there. We'll be crossing the river soon. Do you need me to cast a spell?" Elder Centipede tilted his head back and asked the four of them.

“No need,” Lycorina said.

"Okay." Elder Centipede turned his head back.

More and more purple specks appeared in the air. Soon, the faint purple light was reflected on the water's surface, and Elder Centipede appeared with the four of them on the underground river that was almost ubiquitous in the rainforest.

With a wave of its long staff, a translucent, pale blue magic boat appeared on the river.

Elder Centipede first climbed onto the small boat with his upper body, then coiled up his lower body and shrank back onto the boat.

The demon boat sailed into the middle of the river, then turned its head back to look at the four people: "Please follow me."

Lycorina summoned her staff and waved it. A wall of light fell across the river, its golden light dazzling in the dim environment, making the faint purple light almost invisible.

The four stepped onto the [wall of light] and floated on the river, following Elder Centipede.

To be honest, if it weren't for the conspicuous golden light, Elder Centipede might not have been able to find the four people's location.

In this almost pitch-black rainforest, golden light is extremely rare.

As Elder Centipede continued forward, moving with the current, after about ten minutes, the underground river began to flow downstream and surged into a cave.

Elder Centipede ignored the rapidly flowing water and allowed the underground river to carry the demon boat into the cave.

Lycorina didn't hesitate. Since she had already come this far, she might as well see it through to the end.

Not long after entering the cave, they noticed more and more purple spots of light appearing on the cave walls, with more and more covering them as they went deeper.

Before we even reached the end, the cave walls were already bathed in purple light.

The water flow became increasingly rapid, and the cave became increasingly steep.

However, the [Light Wall] is essentially a device that floats four people, so it is not affected by the water flow.

But soon, the cave walls became vertical, and the river water rushed down like a waterfall.

Elder Centipede's magic boat did not move forward, but instead plummeted directly from a great height.

A wide field of vision—

"Oh!"

Elder Centipede's demonic boat plummeted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the water.

The four people who followed also entered a huge space—

This is a huge underground cave!

The river flows down from the entrance into the underground lake, where in the center there is a small island the size of two playgrounds.

For large demons, this place is smaller than a cattle pen, but for small demons with high magical power, it is a sizable island.

The cave was filled with purple light, and the cave walls emitted a purple fluorescence that could illuminate the entire cave.

“Wow…” Yu Han (《:捌舞簯□<伞∪？ 4○＃牭⊙⊥er》)

Even Lycorina couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Although the four of them had already defeated many demons, they had almost never seen such a beautiful spectacle.

Lycorina had never even left her home before becoming a hero, and her eyes shone with excitement.

"so beautiful!"

Layton's eyes widened as well: "This is the first time I've ever seen this either!"

Miluko's beautiful eyes, reflecting the purple light, were also filled with amazement.

Only Annie was looking at the island in the middle.

There were no buildings there.

Elder Centipede stopped on the lake surface, looked back at the four of them until they landed, and then spoke.

“Our island is protected by a magic array, so the demons who accidentally wander here will not be able to detect our presence.”

Just follow me.

After saying that, it sailed towards the island.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

At this moment, the four noticed that various high-magic-powered demons were also falling into the lake from the cave ceiling from other directions, indicating that this was still an area where many demons would be active.

Lycorina activated the [Light Wall], her lips twitching slightly as she said, "That... um..."

If we just wandered around the rainforest the way we used to, we'd never find a place like this in our entire lives!

Layton exclaimed excitedly, "This is so hard to find!"

Milu looked at An Yi in silence.

An Yi said expressionlessly, "It's good that you found it."

They weren't just looking for demon settlements; they were also searching for high-level demons in the rainforest. They wouldn't lose out no matter which side they found.

In An Yi's mind, such demon settlements should usually be on the surface, like the ones in the Baron's City outside.

He had never seen anything like this, hidden underground.

4. It should be said that... in his previous life, he would not have accepted the demons as guides.

An eleventh-level demon appearing before him would be suicide.

Without a demon to guide you, it's really hard to get into a place like this.

Elder Centipede's demonic boat traveled a certain distance forward and then suddenly disappeared from the four people's sight.

The four of them found this familiar.

Isn't this just like the illusionary realm in [The Hero of Illusions]?

Four followed them inside, and sure enough, they saw the entire island—

Unlike the desolate and empty place I had just seen, there was actually a small town of demons on this island!

Fly to the island with Elder Centipede. There are decent houses, streets, and a considerable number of demons.

Welcome to our city.

We call this place—

Amethyst Town.

The purple substance you just saw is a type of purple crystal containing magical properties.

Floating in the air is powder of these purple crystals, which, because they carry magical energy, drift with the elements in the air.

Elder Centipede explained to the four people who followed him;

"If you get lost in the rainforest, just find these powders and you'll be able to find your way back here."
