The underground city of Aisha was located inside a valley in a mountain range.
From the outside, it looked like an ordinary canyon, but underneath the canyon, there was an incomparably vast underground city.
Angor was expecting to go to the underground city, but before they could reach the valley, someone jumped up from below and blocked their way.
It was an old man with long white eyebrows and a curly beard tied into a bow. He was wearing a dark blue robe and a triangular wizard hat with an embroidered orchid flower on it.
He chuckled. "Angor's Gondola is so eye-catching. I saw it right away."
While speaking, the newcomer hopped onto the Gondola and sat down beside Angor.
It was Kanter, who Angor had not seen for a while. He still looked the same, but the bow knot on his beard was too eye-catching. Old man, old man!
"Mister Kanter." Angor held back his urge to complain and greeted the old man politely.
"I'm glad you're okay, Angor. Otherwise, I'd have to bring back an obituary for Keely." Kanter put a hand on Angor's shoulder with a smile.
Angor's lips twitched. What does it have to do with Keely whether I'm okay or not?!
"Ignore him. Keep heading southeast." Sunders finally lost his patience and spoke to Angor. "Just ignore him. Keep heading southeast."
"Are we still going to Aisha Underground City?"
"Since we've already picked up Kanter, there's no need for that. The space here isn't stable. Keep going southeast and you'll see a Fallen Mountain. The space there is more stable, so it's safer to use Section Ephemera there," Sunders explained.
Angor nodded and controlled the Gondola to fly toward the Fallen Mountain.
Kanter's voice trailed off as he looked at the small compartment at the rear of the Gondola. When he noticed the cloaked Bobota inside, his eyes flickered.
Kanter wanted to ask something, but his professor stopped him with a meaningful look. Kanter swallowed his words.
It was not just about Bobota. Kanter did not ask. It seemed that Sunders had already told Kanter about Angor's recent experiences. Kanter did not mention anything about Angor. Instead, Kanter only talked about some meaningless topics.
For example, he was most concerned about Monument Valley.
"I've cleared Monument Valley. Are you thinking about doing a sequel?"
Before Angor could answer, Sunders sneered. "How did you do it? Don't you know?"
Kanter: "Anyway, I've cleared it."
It was Bobota who helped Kanter pass the test. Now that Bobota was still on Gondola, Kanter had the audacity to claim that he cleared the level by himself.
"Not at the moment," Angor replied.
"Then I'll think about it for you. Remember to make it when you get back," Kanter said with a smile.
"…" What's the point of thinking? Are you going to make it or am I going to make it?
"By the way, don't forget one more thing. How is the Soft Queen now? Did it give birth to any special eggs under the pressure of the Dream Weaver? "
Speaking of the Soft Queen, Angor put on a serious look. Since he was heading to Tidal Realm, he had spent a lot of time observing the Soft Queen. Due to the pressure from the outside world, the Soft Queen had stopped reproducing. All the eggs she laid were for combat purposes. So far, she had not found any special eggs.
Kanter pondered for a moment. "So there's still something missing in the details. Maybe we should increase the pressure and let the Dream Weaver come into contact with the Soft Queen once? Maybe the Soft Queen will secrete some new substance and give birth to some special eggs. "
Kanter's suggestion was bold, but Angor was worried that it might backfire.
Maybe the Soft Queen would be so scared that she lost her reproductive instincts. There were plenty of such cases in the world of biology.
Sunders, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Don't do anything stupid. I'll talk to Ness when we get back. He once went to the Heart of Insects research site. Maybe he can find something useful."
Angor nodded. The Soft Queen was very precious. Perhaps Angor was the only one artificially bred in the world, so they had to be careful.
After that, Sunders did not speak again. Kanter was the only one who kept talking. Even when no one answered him, he did not feel embarrassed at all. In fact, he did not feel tired at all.
…
Just as they were about to reach the Fallen Mountain Ridge, something strange happened.
They ran into a bird that blocked their path. It was a strange-looking red-scaled bird. It had a large body but was as thin as a stick. Every flap of its withered wings brought up a strong gust of wind.
Kanter's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Not bad. I didn't expect to meet a wizard-level monster on the way back!"
Kanter looked like he was about to attack.
However, before Kanter could fly away, Sunders stopped him. That was because a figure had suddenly appeared on the back of the giant bird.
Kanter stopped himself before Sunders could say anything.
Angor was puzzled by their reaction. Did they know who it was?
Angor looked closer and saw a female demon covered in pale green scales. The scales looked dense, but their color was gradually changing. Her body was curvaceous, and her face was beautiful. Especially the pattern on her forehead, which gave her a mysterious sense of beauty. She had a round, glossy butt, and a black demon tail with a greenish-white tip. From Angor's point of view, this was the most attractive female demon he had ever seen, apart from the succubi.
"What are you doing, Mottled Bones?" The female demon spoke in the elegant language of demons. However, she wasn't speaking to them. She was speaking to the bird under her feet.
"Roar!" The bird let out a strange roar while facing Gondola.
At this moment, the female demon looked over. "The Face of Barrenness has been corroded by humans to this extent … Indeed, it is worthy of its name."
After saying that, she said to the bird at her feet, "If you want to make a move, hurry up."
As soon as the voice fell, the huge bird's eyes immediately lit up, and countless floating hurricanes appeared around its body in an instant.
Clearly, this was a powerful wind-type demonic creature!
When the bird was about to attack, Sunders and Kanter exchanged a glance and made up their minds.
Both the bird and the female demon were not strong enough to threaten Sunders. However, the female demon's identity … made Sunders suspicious.
Since they were going to attack, Sunders wasn't going to back down just because of that.
However, the female demon suddenly noticed something. "Mottled Bones, Mottled Bones. Hold on."
The embryonic form of the hurricane that had already formed was interrupted by this call.
The bird called "Mottled Bones" chirped in frustration, but it didn't attract the female demon's attention. The female demon was now looking at Angor.
Angor didn't know why she was looking at him all of a sudden. He felt uncomfortable being stared at for a long time.
Is Angor being targeted by that thing? Sunders wondered in his mind.
The female demon finally spoke to Angor this time. "Where did you get your death aura?"
Death aura? Sunders and Kanter looked at Angor in confusion. They didn't sense anything strange about Angor. What did she mean by death aura?
Angor didn't know how to react at first. Then he remembered something.
A black feather suddenly appeared in his hand.
The female demon's pupils shrank as soon as she saw the feather. She quickly approached Angor.
However, before she could reach Angor, Sunders reached out a hand and unleashed a violent energy wave, which blocked her way and knocked her away for dozens of meters.
Mottled Bones' eyes glowed red when he saw the female demon being knocked away. He released a gust of hot air from his nose.
"Mottled Bones, don't do it!" The magnetic demon stood up and gave Sunders a wary look. She didn't expect this human to be so strong.
She glanced at Sunders and looked at Angor again.
"Where did you get that feather, human?"
"Someone gave it to me."
The female demon didn't change her expression. "His feather isn't real. It can't fall off on its own. That's the only explanation. But why did you give it to a human?"
Angor didn't answer her question. He didn't want to explain himself.
But judging from her tone, did she know Crondo?
"Let's make a deal, human. Give me the feather, and I'll give it to you —"
Before the female demon could finish, Angor quickly put the feather away. He couldn't let anyone take it away. It was important for him to fulfill his promise with Wardell.
The female demon's mouth twitched.
After a while, the female demon said, "Forget it. Since he gave it to you, he must have his reasons. Today, for his sake, I won't bicker with you. "
As she spoke, the female demon stepped on Spotted Bone Yaku's head and commanded it to fly in another direction. Although Kaku was reluctant, he still nodded and left.
Even after the demon and bird left, Angor still could not figure out what just happened.
That was weird. Why did they show up? And why did they leave?
Where did they come from?
However, Sunders and Kanter were more confused than Angor. What was that feather in Angor's hand?
