When the demon baron approached the island in the magma sea after the human knights, it had been a long time since they set foot on the island. It was not because the demon baron didn't want to follow them, but because the environment in the magma sea was utterly different than that in the tunnel and the cave.
It was spacious and had a high visibility here. At first glance, they could see the scorching magma which was giving out red light. When a human knight flew above the magma sea, it would be very eye-catching. As nothing could cover its body, it would be discovered dozens of miles away. If someone among the human knights held a telescope, the demon baron might be discovered from over 60 miles away.
Of course, the demon baron could also enter the magma sea. With the ability of an earth knight, it could stay in the magma for a few hours. However, it would consume a lot of energy in the magma sea; additionally, it would move very slowly. Therefore, it could only fly above the magma sea.
In the beginning, the demon baron just wanted to kill the human knights for revenge.
Later on, it found that there were 3 teams of human knights. Besides 3 earth knights, there were over 20 black iron knights. Such a force was very powerful even in the first abyss. Therefore, the demon baron became curious at once.
Without enough events and benefits, neither the Human Clan nor the Demon Clan could easily gather such a powerful force.
A few days ago, the demon baron seized a chance and killed a black iron human knight.
It was a trial.
After killing that human knight, the demon baron hid and observed the movements of the human knights.
It found that the human knights didn't evacuate or move away; instead, they were still stationed near the valley.
'Is this the human knights' confidence about their battle force? ' Of course not. This situation only indicated that what these human knights were going to do was very important. They thought that this thing was more important than the threat of demon knights that they might face.
As the team of human knights was encamped in the valley, the demon baron knew that they must be waiting for something.
'Are they waiting for more human knights? '
The demon baron didn't know; however, it knew that it was a very good opportunity. As long as it could make humans feel uncomfortable and destroy the actions of human knights, it would be a good opportunity.
The demon baron became thrilled.
Today, after the disappearance of the abyss hurricane, the demon baron finally knew what the human knights were waiting for.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem This magma ocean was located in the complex maze-like underground tunnels and caves of the first abyss. Few people could come here by accident. Additionally, few of them knew that the abyssal hurricanes would stop. Given the probability, the abyssal hurricanes would stop for 3-5 days in over 3 years. That was to say, even if someone came here, there was only 1/200 chance that the abyssal hurricanes would stop. Therefore, demons didn't know what was in this magma ocean.
However, the human knights should know that. Otherwise, they would not have waited for the hurricane to die down. There must be something valuable in the magma ocean that attracted these human knights here.
The demon baron had already sensed something special.
In the Earth-elements Realm, there were three things that could attract a lot of human knights: first, the tit-for-tat battle and military action against demons; second, the opportunity to gain a large number of element crystals; third, the hidden abyss items in the underground space.
Now that the first possibility had been eliminated, there were only the second and the third possibility left.
At the sight of the island and the pyramid in the middle of the magma ocean, the second possibility was also eliminated.
The demon baron's excitement turned into ecstasy.
The shape of the pyramid with a flat top represented a hieron.
If the earth's surface was the home field of humans, the underground world would be the home field of demons. Demons' understanding about the history of the underground world was far greater than that of humans. Over tens of thousands of years, a lot of knowledge had been lost among humans due to the gap of knowledge caused by the discontinuity of civilization. However, among demons, especially those high-level demons who had promoted to knights, the inheritance of such knowledge was not lost.
The demon knight felt the declining temperature around the island. After circling around the island and finding that there was no ambush on the island, it lowered its flight height and landed steadily on the island as if it knew that there might be a no-fly zone on this island.
Mountain Lifting Hermit was worried that the demon knight might blow the whistle after discovering their purpose. Mountain Lifting Hermit's concern was right. However, he had not imagined that the demon knight was not a common black iron demon knight, but an earth demon knight, a powerful demon baron.
The skilled were bold. This sentence was also applicable to the Devil Race.
After a few minutes, when the demon baron came to the entrance of the pyramid, it injected its spiritual energy into the remote-sensing crystal finger ring and prepared to blow the whistle.
If Zhang Tie blew the whistle, in 4 days at most, a squad of demon knights who could match these human knights and had a certain advantage in battle strength would arrive.
In any case, just like how humans would sabotage demons when they found out that demons were doing the same thing, demons would never stand aside when they found out that humans were doing the same thing.
When the demon baron wanted to send a message,
The demon baron raised its head and caught sight of the symbol on the top of the entrance of the pyramid.
It was a mysterious triangular symbol which was composed of three scales of different sizes, old, old and mysterious.
At the sight of that symbol, the lizard-like jujube core-shaped vertical pupils in the golden eyes of the demon baron instantly widened as a shrewd light shot out of its eyes, "Bloody Sacrifice Hieron!"
Zhang Tie and the others didn't know the meaning of that symbol; however, the demon baron knew it.
Only after thinking about it for less than 2 seconds, the demon baron had revealed a faint grim and cruel smile. It stretched out its tongue and licked its lips as it withdrew its spiritual energy from the remote-sensing crystal. After that, it strode into the hieron's entrance.
Apart from cruelty, the greatest characteristic of the Devil Race was their greed.
The demon baron didn't notice that an invisible tracing feather had attached to its battle boots silently like dandelions being blown up by the wind when it strode into the hieron's gate.
The tracing feather was 100 times lighter than a grain of dust. As long as it didn't directly attach to a senior knight's body, it would not be discovered by others at all.
The moment the demon knight moved, the tracing feather also moved...
...
In the underground space of the pyramid, Zhang Tie stopped at once.
"What's wrong?" Filton who was walking beside Zhang Tie also stopped as he turned around and asked Zhang Tie.
Filton and Zhang Tie stopped, so did all the other members of Zhang Tie's team. They all turned around and looked at Zhang Tie as they thought that Zhang Tie had discovered something.
At this moment, they were walking in a completely abandoned palace-like rooms and maze-like winding corridors. As they walked, they checked and hoped to find something.
There were still battle puppets here; however, the number of battle puppets had decreased evidently. There were only one or two battle puppets guarding the entrances of one or two rooms. One or two battle puppets were too weak for the members of the squad.
Filton, Bolam and Cecilia also joined them. With the strength of six people, they could deal with one or two battle puppets once in a while. Therefore, everybody became relaxed.
Besides the team of Tianlu Palace, the team of knights led by Old Monster Qi and Mountain Lifting Hermit had dispersed after leaving the lobby and entering those portals.
In Zhang Tie's mind sea, the tracing feather of Mountain Lifting Hermit, Zhang Anguo and Old Monster Qi had long left this region and was already 60 miles away. They were still moving towards afar rapidly. The tracing feather of Mountain Lifting Hermit was also rushing towards the bottom of the pyramid at a high speed.
Given the tracing feather's moving speed, Zhang Tie was sure that the one behind them must be an earth knight.
The tracing feather moved so fast that even Zhang Tie was a bit flabbergasted.
'I wonder whether it's a human or a demon? '
"Nothing..." Zhang Tie shook his head as he suppressed his shock inside, "I'm just thinking that this region might not be valuable anymore. As this place is close to the lobby, it should have been explored by people before. It's very possible to leave some good items here. How about taking a look at the Weapons Mountain faster?"
"I also feel that there might not be too many good items here. How about going to the Weapons Mountain as soon as possible? If we're lucky, we might get a silver secret item in a couple of days..." Gong Ziyao agreed as he nodded.
After fighting those battle puppets for a short while, Gong Ziyao felt that there might not be any good items in these places close to the lobby. Perhaps, some items might be left in one of the rooms; however, it would take too much time to search all of these rooms. Even 3 days might not be enough for Gong Ziyao to search all of these rooms.
A figure flashed in front of them. Lu Zhongming and his wife had already run to the front of the crowd …
