Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1287 - 816: The Demon Clan Is Truly United (2)

Outside the room, a new Magic Sky Curtain is slowly rising. It is a Magic Sky Curtain completely controlled by the rebel army, which means that if the Holy Light Church tries to retake Hepa Town, it will definitely absolutely not be simple.

The Holy Light Church still needs some time to completely eliminate the effects of that disastrous Holy Light Festival, and this period is an excellent opportunity for the rebel army to strike back.

Among the three major battlefronts, all the troops facing the Holy Light Church decided to attack at this time, and most achieved gratifying results. Even if their offensives were later blocked by the support from the Return to Forest Church and the Dark Moon Church, the achievements already gained would not be erased.

The rebel army is seizing the opportunity to advance triumphantly!

However, the situation on the front battlefield has little to do with Hepa Town, and for Hevi and his companions, as long as they manage the exploration of the Sain Dungeon well, it's enough. The main forces have much more to consider.

The rebel army has already decided to send a large number of troops here to drive the forces of the Holy Light Church out in one go, ensuring they cannot disturb Hepa Town again for some time.

The current situation is truly a rare opportunity for the rebel army.

Good days are coming!

However, for a certain City Lord of the Sain Dungeon, the recent days have been a bit less pleasant.

"These Demon Clan really aren't coming in..."

Gong Qiying rested his chin in his hands, staring at the Crystal Ball in front of him with a very serious expression. More accurately, he was staring at the real-time images transmitted back via the Crystal Ball, which he preferred to call surveillance.

As for the surveillance images, they were certainly of the Twilight Dungeon obtained after the battle at the Holy Light Underground City.

The Sain transformation of the Twilight Dungeon had already been completed, taking less than two days to finish.

The main task was to bring out the multi-layered maps of the Sain Dungeon from the first mutation from the dungeon library, and replicate them one-to-one in the Twilight Dungeon, with a few minor tweaks to the details.

That's right, they directly borrowed the original design of the Sain Dungeon.

It's just that several areas were given a facelift, so it would take Leon a while to realize that the layout seemed familiar.

The original buildings of the Twilight Dungeon were also retained and placed in the front segment, seamlessly connecting with the Sain transformation. This was done to give the Demon Clan entering some time to adapt.

Originally, there was a lot more that could be done inside the Twilight Dungeon. Several maps hadn't been used yet, and it was a good chance to try them here.

But what the followers said was indeed considered by Gong Qiying.

He didn't understand what the situation with the Demon Clan was at all. This "lack of understanding" referred to all aspects of the Demon Clan—culture, customs, economic systems, national forms, personal preferences, dislikes... everything was a mystery and couldn't be approached with human thoughts.

Being able to produce something like the Fallen Demon Egg already proved that the baseline of the Demon Clan was a bit too low.

So, when designing the Twilight Dungeon, he remained conservative, without making particularly large transformations, retaining the original design. The modifications he made should feel more like "the Twilight Dungeon suddenly mutated and added a new area for itself."

He also added things in these maps that he believed would attract any intelligent beings, namely strength, treasure, and food. As long as the Demon Clan had normal needs for eating, drinking, defecation, and social demands for money, they should not refuse to enter the Twilight Dungeon.

The spiritual power needed to maintain the operations of the initial design of the Sain Dungeon now seemed to be very, very little to Gong Qiying. Even if, as the followers said, "no Demon Clan would come in," he could still bear the spiritual power consumed in daily operations.

Everything was prepared, the Twilight Dungeon was the old bottle with new wine, appearing unchanged on the outside but completely transformed inside, just waiting for the Demon Clan to take the bait.

Gong Qiying guaranteed that the moment the Demon Clan entered, they would be fooled to the point of losing their pants.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

A week was almost over, and the rebel army had completely controlled Hepa Town and started sending people to explore Sain.

But the customer flow on the Twilight Dungeon side was still "0"!

Daily performance was zero, a series of zeroes right before the eyes, like Monger had unleashed a Big Move.

"This is the first time I've seen something like this..."

During his nearly year-long tenure as the City Lord, Gong Qiying had never seen zero results before, and this time he gained some social experience.

"How badly did the followers kill the Demon Clan back then?"

Judging by the combat power displayed during the battle with the Holy Light Underground City, without someone of the Demon King Bloodline or at least the Four Demon Kings, they couldn't conquer him. The power of those combined weapons was quite overpowered.

Oh yes, the spiritual power reserve of the Holy Light Underground City had already been depleted, and it would probably be a very long time before such powerful weapons could be seen again.

Gong Qiying watched the entrance of the Teleportation Gate in the Twilight Dungeon every day.

A day passed, no Demon Clan entered.

Two days passed, no Demon Clan entered.

A week passed, still no Demon Clan entered.

"I can't stand it anymore."

Gong Qiying slapped the table and immediately set up a Teleportation Gate inside the Twilight Dungeon, sending over his avatar.

He wanted to go out personally to see what was going on with the Demon Clan!

His avatar was of the human race, and obviously, he couldn't use permissions to turn into another monster after leaving the Dungeon. The human body was quite frail, so he needed to take care outside.

The invisible "Death Miasma" that the Demon Clan used to hinder human advancement had always been a mystery to Gong Qiying, who didn't know what it relied on to be lethal.

Does it poison those who inhale it? Or create illusions? Or are there monsters hidden in the mist?

Various books described the effects of the Death Miasma in various ways, with no unified conclusion. Ultimately, he had to experience it himself.

In a protective suit covering his whole body and with an oxygen tank enough to breathe for a few hours, Gong Qiying's avatar could physically isolate the miasma.

But since this thing might have some Magic Attack, it might not be completely isolated, so he brought a lot of things along.

Various Detoxification Potions and several bottles of Goddess' Blessing, which are cheat items that can remove all statuses and are quite expensive.

"This might be humanity's—at least a human race's—first step into the Demon Clan's territory. It's a small step for me, but a big step for all humanity."

Saying so, he took his first step out of the Twilight Dungeon.

The feeling of passing through the Teleportation Gate was not pleasant. When he opened his eyes, the view wasn't particularly surprising.

An endless dark brown wasteland appeared before him, its terrain barely undulating at a glance. Scattered plants dotted the area, just a common wasteland scenery quite fitting for a setting like Hunger.

No mist, where is the Death Miasma?

The Teleportation Gate of the Twilight Dungeon stood there, appearing somewhat out of place on the flat wasteland, hard to miss.

Gong Qiying saw no living creatures, but in the far, far distance, he seemed to see the silhouette of a building, possibly a Demon Clan settlement?

As he was about to head in that direction, he suddenly felt a strange sensation from his avatar, his body quickly sending out warnings, and his Life Force rapidly draining!

Was this the effect of the miasma?

The speed of the Life Force drain was rapid. Gong Qiying immediately gulped down the Goddess' Blessing, trying to use this cure-all divine medicine to resolve everything.

However, his avatar swayed and collapsed on the spot, losing contact.

Gong Qiying held his slightly stinging forehead, understanding the principle of the miasma.

"Instead of applying a negative status, it directly depletes the health bar..."
