Failed Eel: "(Scared)"

Failed Muddy Eel: "Bro! I messed up! Don't dock my pay! QAQ"

Gou Shi: "HAHAHAHA lmao."

"..."

Meanwhile, deep within the North Peak Mine in the Demon King Territory.

Having returned to his lair, Luo Yan didn't squat in front of the mirror to munch on melons this time. Instead, he rode Alakdo straight to the construction site, beginning to fulfill the promises he'd drawn up in the version 'a05' update.

It wasn't just for the players' storage, he also had to prepare for the expansion of the Demon King's facilities.

At this very moment, thousands of Earth Cave Spiders were shuttling back and forth in the mine tunnels, expanding the breadth of the Demon King Territory while transporting the excavated earth outside the caves.

This thing was just like a shield tunneling machine!

No—

It was even better than a shield tunneling machine!

After all, shield tunneling machines have turning radiuses and limited excavation sizes, while these things were like a swarm of robots equipped with drills, capable of 360-degree panoramic directional shifts, even ready to furnish a four-bedroom, one-living-room setup if needed."

"...This is the unusual aspect of our Weaving Shadow Clan, Lord Demon King."

Watching the cheerful Demon King, pride inevitably seeped into Alakdo's voice.

"Ordinary Earth Cave Spiders can only dig one cave, and a few tens of meters deep is already the limit of their excavation work. However, we are different; acting collectively, we can move freely within the mountain! Some spiders are responsible for digging while others take on transporting... We can keep on digging like this, until the end of the world!"

"Good job, Alakdo! You don't need to dig to the end of the world, just bore through this mountain for me. The north side is the southwest corner of the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, and we need to dig toward Shattered Rock Peak to carve out strategic depth! Open up strategic space!"

Simply put, Luo Yan needed to create a backdoor for his Demon King Territory.

After all, he had already stirred up trouble with humans and had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

But Alakdo didn't know this, just heartily laughing and saying.

"No problem! Leave it to our clan!"

Truly worthy of His Majesty the Demon King!

These terms he couldn't even understand... clearly something grand and impressive!

At that moment, Luo Yan noticed some spiders wrapped together with earth by spider silk, being lifted from the front, and couldn't help but ask.

"What's the situation with these guys?"

They had only been digging a short while, and it made him worry that there might have been a collapse in the mining tunnel ahead.

However, Alakdo, as if this was nothing out of the ordinary, laughed heartily and said.

"Don't worry, Lord Demon King, it's just a minor glitch. Their mouthparts got damaged during the digging process, and this sort of thing happens from time to time. Lady Alachinos will send new diggers over to ensure we're at full strength."

I see.

Luo Yan nodded, then asked.

"How do you usually deal with the broken ones then?"

Alakdo: "They're generally used as reserve food."

"...?"

Okay then.

By the standards of monsters, this indeed was a more energy-efficient method... after all, with damaged mouthparts, they probably couldn't eat.

Luo Yan silently remarked to himself, realizing he still didn't quite understand Hell well enough.

Compared to these real creatures of Hell, he, a graduate from the Demon King Academy, was still too humane.

He had to become thoroughly inhumane in the future...

"Lord Demon King, an envoy from the Land of Nightmare has been sent to you, want to meet them?"

"Lock them up for interrogation."

"Okay—eh?!"

Catching himself blurting out his inner thoughts, Luo Yan coughed and corrected himself.

"Never mind... let's meet them first, have that guy wait below."

Land of Nightmare?

Sounds like a nightmare demon.

But would a High-level Demon appear in such a place?

He was doubtful.

Watching the Demon King regain his composure, Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, declaring war without even hearing what someone has to say would have been too harsh—better to wait for them to speak inappropriately and then take them down, right?

"As you command!"
