Miranda: "Leveling up?"

Drank the Chemical Pool in One Gulp: "That's grinding monsters. Grinding gives experience, experience leads to leveling up, which means boosting your Extraordinary Power... You don't know this?"

Miranda looked puzzled at him and shook her head.

"I've never heard of it..."

Drank the Chemical Pool in One Gulp glanced at him with disdain.

"Tsk, you came out of an academy and you know nothing... Whatever they're teaching there, I could give better lectures!"

Miranda wanted to retort but couldn't find any justification, so she could only lower her head in shame and say.

"You're right..."

Drank the Chemical Pool in One Gulp: "Anyway, that's the plan. Later, you'll handle pulling the monsters and dealing damage; I'll support you from behind... Oh, and try to leave the final blow for me."

Miranda nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, got it!"

Outside Iron Teeth City, a strange scene unfolded.

A skeleton and a ghost wandered around the third floor of the labyrinth.

They used special magic, cooperating with tacit understanding, becoming an existence that countless monsters dread.

Not only that, but they would also occasionally gather to discuss the techniques of physics, chemistry, and magic, pondering over how to make the monotonous magic skills more flashy.

In the distance, several small, hunchbacked creatures with dark green skin were secretly watching from the shadows.

Looking at the perfectly coordinated skeleton and ghost, they had expressions of surprise and even terror on their faces.

The sound of their quiet whispers circulated from one pair of overly large ears to another...

"What kind of magic is that—"

"So terrifying!"

"We must, we must report to the king quickly!"

...

On the fourth level of the labyrinth, not far from the Dark Night Elf Tribe, a steep mountain rose within the Mist Forest.

The whole mountain was like a huge stone pillar, connecting the ground of the Mist Forest to its canopy.

There are many such load-bearing pillar-like structures in the Mist Forest, almost one in every area.

Like the tower structures connecting the third and fourth floors of the labyrinth, the interiors of these "mountains" also contain passages that allow one to travel between levels, and the latter is much more spacious than the former.

Some players suggested installing elevators here to accelerate the travel between floors.

Luo Yan actually had this idea, but before putting it into practice, he had more important things to do.

For example, fulfilling the promise to the Dark Night Elf Tribe—reviving the forest.

To achieve this, the crystals on the dome of the fourth floor of the labyrinth must be lit.

At a position near the summit, there was a small hole and a ten-square-meters platform.

This was the highest point of the Mist Forest, just a hand's reach from the dome, and looking down from here, not only could one see the outline of the Gray Wind Tribe, but even the outline of Mist Town could be faintly discerned... if the fog here wasn't too dense.

At this moment, Luo Yan was following the chieftain of the Gray Wind Tribe, standing on that wide platform.

Everyone looked around with expressions of surprise to various degrees.

"It's really... unbelievable! This place is like another world." Gazing at the forest below the dome, Alakdo's voice carried obvious envy.

The space and resources here were unimaginably abundant compared to the Weaving Shadow Nest active on the first level of the labyrinth!

I heard that the resources in the lower levels of the labyrinth are even richer.

It's unimaginable what kind of wealth that would be!

Sarah's face also showed clear surprise as she stretched her neck to look out.

Although this richness couldn't compare to the surface's Silver Pine Forest, the fact that such a huge forest was situated underground was surprising enough.

"...This is the closest place to the dome, and also the brightest spot on the entire fourth level."

Standing beside her father, Helen spoke to the back of Lord Demon King in a gentle tone.

"Our people plant some cliff-growing herbs around here. It prevents them from being eaten by monsters, and only the light here allows them to survive."

"Your nature magic can't make them grow?" Luo Yan turned his head and asked her.

"Not possible," Sherry, standing next to her sister, shook her head and interjected, "Even with nature magic, plants can't continue to grow without sunlight. And those ripened by magic won't last long without magic power to sustain them."

Helen nodded, agreeing with her sister, and continued.

"Just like my sister said, magic can't solve every problem."

"I see."

Luo Yan stroked his chin and fell into thought.

At that moment, the chieftain of the Gray Wind Tribe, Terrell, approached him, turning his gaze to a cluster of crystals within arm's reach.

They grew like mushrooms in rock crevices on the dome of the fourth level of the labyrinth.

"...In the past, the Mist Forest wasn't much inferior to Silver Pine Forest, or else humans wouldn't have thought of establishing an outpost near us. However, ever since Reggie Dragon fell, these crystals have been extinguished, and now only a little murky light remains. Most of the time, we lived in darkness, surviving only with difficulty."

Terrell's expression was filled with a hint of devotion.

That was not a devotion to the Demon God or any person, but to the forest itself.

Luo Yan could hear the longing in his heart and continued speaking casually.

"It's normal; these crystals are maintained by the core of the labyrinth. It's actually a miracle that they still have a bit of energy left."
