When you get hungry, the dream ends.

Hai Nisi once loved a book called "If I Had an Underground City".

The protagonist is a little girl of similar age who, after acquiring the dungeon, transforms it into a dreamlike paradise filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

When Hai Nisi was in school, she longed for that kind of life. She imagined that if she owned an underground city, she would definitely fill it with sunflowers and violets, because her father liked sunflowers and Fei Li liked violets.

But when she actually became the Dungeon Lord, all she wanted was to go home.

My Spirit Power is decreasing every day, the threat from the demons is increasing day by day, and there's no one to talk to.

All of this was too much for her. How could a pampered young lady who had been living a life of luxury and loved to act spoiled not long ago possibly withstand the pressure of building an underground city?

"Hey, aren't you going to give me an answer today? Don't blame me for being impolite!"

The demons returned, led by Frog Head demon followed by several dazed humans. The Frog Head clapped his hands, and their bodies swelled up, instantly transforming into alien shapes.

How many times has Hai Nisi seen this bizarre and terrifying scene? From being scared to tears at first to now being able to watch it through, perhaps that can be considered progress.

These demons, transformed from humans, become berserk once they transform, wantonly destroying everything they see.

Even the Swamp, which imitates the construction of the Zane Dungeon, seems like a paradise compared to their horrors.

"Heh heh heh, you actually managed to change the terrain. Do you really think this kind of desperate struggle will work?"

The Frog Head mocked vehemently:

"If you want to live, cooperate with us. Otherwise, you'll die quietly, like a stray dog that dies on the roadside, and nobody will care!"

"Are you trying to imitate Sion with this terrain? That's hilarious! Do you think I haven't seen what the real Sion looks like? You can't possibly imitate this!"

"You can never understand the fear that Saine brought!"

"Everyone who enters here has been sucked away by Sien. Shouldn't you resent it? Cooperate with me, and I can not only let you live, but also give you the chance to take revenge on Sien."

As he spoke, the Frog Head grabbed a demon, stuffed something into its mouth, and then crushed it.

At the same time, Hai Nisi received nearly five hundred units of Spirit Power.

What's going on? Don't these demons, who were transformed from humans, not emit Spirit Power when they die? Could it be related to what he just ate?

Five hundred units of Spirit Power, if saved, could sustain me for a while longer.

Her petite body was trembling. Was she afraid?

Frog Head waited quietly, confident that his actions would surely move the lord of this underground city.

He was a capable lieutenant of the late Doslai Bo. After Doslai Bo and his men were wiped out, the Frog Head -headed survivor felt he could take over the position of Army Commander.

But if he wants to take over the leader's position, he must first accomplish something.

His ambition prevented him from immediately fleeing back to the Western Continent. After careful consideration, he chose Spring Sun City as the starting point for his career.

In his view, Spring Sun City had three advantages: it was small and easy to infiltrate, its underground city was in decline and easy to exploit, and most importantly, it was far away from Bede City.

As long as he is far enough away from Bede City, he cannot be attacked by a large army like Doslai Bo!

Before the human soldiers could react, he could wipe out Spring Sun City completely and return to his tribe in glory to inherit Doslai Bo's legacy.

It's impossible for an army to suddenly appear out of nowhere and attack him, right?

Absolutely impossible!

Frog Head threw out his chips and waited quietly for a response, convinced that the city lord here couldn't possibly be unmoved and was definitely thinking about it.

Hai Nisi was indeed thinking, but she was thinking about something else entirely.

"I have no desire for revenge against Saine; we have no grudge against each other."

After Frog Head mentioned Saine, her thoughts drifted to that place.

Judging from his tone, he seemed to have been to the Zane Dungeon and was afraid of Sien.

The Frog Head trembled at the mention of Sain, but became arrogant and domineering in Cangyin. This difference left Hai Nisi speechless.

She had heard many rumors about the Zane Dungeon while she was at home, and it was said that even the legendary Sword Saint Gapar had met his end there.

No wonder Frog Head was afraid of Sain, and no wonder he looked down on Cangyin.

Hai Nisi thought that since she had become the Dungeon Lord, it meant that someone was controlling the Zane Dungeon.

If the lord of Sein were here, how would he treat the Frog Head?

They'll probably shove him onto the long, Invisible Bridge, then use a giant iron ball to chase him from behind and Goblin with giant bows to shoot him from the front!

Hai Nisi suddenly remembered the trouble she and Fei Li had encountered in the Zane Dungeon, and the tension in her heart dissipated somewhat.

If the city lord of Sain were here, he would definitely beat these despicable demons to a pulp! She firmly believed this idea.

Lord Sien, who devised so many insidious traps, must be a wicked fellow, but also a very powerful one.

She was envious and had to admire the other person's abilities.

"The city lord of Sain must have gone through a lot to become strong."

"What I'm going through now is probably nothing to him."

"What was his previous identity? He liked setting traps so much, he must have been Warlock who liked to kidnap children."

"I... I don't want to lose to that bad guy!"

Hai Nisi wiped away her tears, glaring at the Frog Head as if she wanted to kill it with her gaze.

Her body was trembling, and at first glance she seemed to be afraid, but one could tell from her clenched teeth that she was angry.

When a person's fear reaches its extreme, the emotion will transform into anger.

She didn't know the demons' purpose in seeking her cooperation, but it certainly wasn't good news; these guys were enemies of humanity!

I, Hai Nisi, the Duke's daughter, have no interest in the Spirit Power bestowed upon me by demons!

She looked at the [Available Monster] list, then at her pitifully low Spirit Power, as if she had made an important decision. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the panel, pausing several times along the way, her eyes filled with hesitation, fear, and a host of other emotions.

"Don't be afraid."

She closed her eyes, as if using all her strength to hold down the [Available Monster] and pour all the Spirit Power she had obtained from the Frog Head into it!

I have no interest in the filthy Spirit Power of the lowly demon race!

Frog Head's confidence gradually eroded as he waited, and he grew increasingly impatient, about to give the order for the demons to continue their destruction.

Just then, several unsteady figures came running from a distance. Upon closer inspection, they were all pseudo -Crucible Knight!

In the past, the monsters in Cangyin would run away at the sight of Frog Head, just like their master, but today they have risen up in resistance?

The Frog Head was startled for a moment, then its face twisted into a ferocious grimace as it roared:

"Tear them apart!"

"Fight! Drive these bad guys away!"

Hai Nisi waved her little arms, cheering on her monster.

The pseudo- Crucible Knight displayed chivalry at this moment, Deathmatch without retreating, and even actually Execute several demons.

Unfortunately, it was subsequently torn apart by the enraged Frog Head; the difference in strength was too great.

"You're just going to stay here and die, you ungrateful fool!"

He shouted and cursed, leading the remaining demons in a rampage of destruction, before storming off from the Verdant Dungeon in a rage.

Frog Head will come again; he believes that under the fear of death, the underground city will eventually succumb to him.

Moreover, lacking supplies, he really needed the dungeon's help.

"If I see you again, I'll beat you up again!"

Hai Nisi shouted angrily, flying around in the air in a fit of emotion.

However, when she saw the last bit of her Spirit Power, her big eyes filled with tears again.

Impulsiveness is the devil!

The excitement of resisting the demons and the regret of wasting her Spirit Power intertwined, and as her anger subsided, she returned to being a helpless little girl.

However, this time there was some improvement; at least I didn't burst into tears immediately.

"I... I have to tell the people outside about the demon race."

She sniffed; in this dangerous moment, she had to learn to think independently.

The demons must have appeared to kill people; she must spread the news about the demons!

But how could she convey the message? She couldn't communicate directly with people.

Just then, she turned her gaze to the demon corpse on the ground.

Verdant Dungeon, in the valley.

"Captain, I think we'll be able to complete the mission very quickly this time."

Bei Er Tuo put down the pen he was drawing a map with and said, while flexing his fingers.

For them, this place is so easy that it's boring.

Lu Lu Wo lay in the flower bushes humming a little tune, seemingly oblivious to his words.

The scenery in the valley of Verdant Dungeon is indeed beautiful, but it's not as fantastical as the Gourmet Area of Zane Dungeon, nor is it as ecologically rich as the Forest Area, which is teeming with Elite Monsters.

Here lies a more peaceful beauty, the kind of beauty that can be discovered and immersed in unintentionally in daily life, with less stimulation and more naturalness.

That's why she felt it was a pity. If Cangyin had used its advantages to develop into a large park, it could probably have stabilized the flow of visitors.

Not all dungeons require players to kill adventurers to obtain large amounts of Spirit Power. Peaceful coexistence and slowly absorbing the dissipated Spirit Power is also a way to survive, although this approach offers little future prospects.

In short, Lu Lu Wo really likes the scenery in the valley, and if she lived nearby, she would definitely spend her free time there.

"By the way, what was the reward for clearing the level again?" Bei Er Tuo looked at Mi La, who was carrying a large box and walking towards them.

"This is it." Mi La patted the box. "I heard that the Verdant Dungeon has a special feature: you can get items that other adventurers have lost in the dungeon from treasure chests."

"Won't it turn out to be junk?" Bei Er Tuo wondered.

"The probability is high," Mi La shrugged. "But there's also a chance of getting something really interesting. Come on, want to try your luck?"

"I think I'll pass." Bei Er Tuo waved his hand repeatedly, and called out in the direction of Lu Lu Wo.

"Captain, we need your luck!"

Lu Lu Wo was very interested in all things related to opening treasure chests, and upon hearing the other party's shout, she jumped up with a somersault.

"I'm someone blessed by Goddess of Luck, so you'll all be watching closely."

She rubbed her hands together and suddenly opened the box.

A foul stench, a bloody smell, filled everyone's nostrils.

"Wow, what is that?!"

Lu Lu Wo immediately jumped aside, covering her nose with a look of disgust.

But when she saw what was inside the box, her expression instantly turned serious.

The fresh, still-warm remains of the demon were dripping with blood.

The next second, she took out a magic crystal, a small gift from Earl Ka Rong, which could transmit information to the person she wanted to send messages to remotely.

Although there are distance and usage limits, it is more than enough to travel from Spring Sun City to Bede City.

"Hey, Da Er? I have a problem here."

"Yes, demons, would you like to come over here?"

"Sure, I'll have a griffin come pick you up. No need? Are you going to ride wolves over?"

"Alright, I'll wait for you here."

"Prepare your swords, and your fury."
