Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1308 - 826: 365 Miles on the Road

Gong Qiying feels that his business has been going a bit rough lately.

The main culprit making him feel this way is the Twilight Dungeon.

Who knows what that group of the Demon Clan is up to. No one has come to check out the Twilight Dungeon, even though he's done a lot to attract people over.

For example, all sorts of heavenly phenomena, whether it's imitating the Holy Light of the Gods or starlight resembling that of an Evil God, have ended up being ignored. The Demon Clan outside is as inactive as the dead.

For the first time, for the very first time after opening a branched city, there's zero popularity. How can one feel good about that?

Because he can't gather information from outside the Demon Clan, Gong Qiying has no idea that this region where the Twilight Dungeon is located is still battling the Monster Tide.

And the Demon Beasts of the Western Continent are particularly adept at using various kinds of magic in battle. This time, the leader of the Monster Tide happens to wield Illusion Magic, using it at the start of the war to create illusions that lured many of the Demon Clan for investigation, then ambushed them with a massive number of monsters, leading to heavy local casualties.

Since then, the local Demon Clan has stopped believing in any heavenly phenomena. The sky won't drop pies, only damaging magic thrown by monsters.

Although that leader was slain by Lord Priest Onora who happened to be traveling here, its offspring are still scattered all over, so the Demon Clan is still in a state of alert and won't be drawn over by unusual disturbances to explore the Dungeon.

Even more amazing is that since these demons' self-imposed refusal to come to Twilight Dungeon is for their own safety and not intentional, it doesn't even set the condition for an escalation.

Besides, followers have already made the Twilight Dungeon act up once before. If it unleashes again in a short time, the consequences will be unpredictable, so this method is also banned.

So what else can be done?

Just wait, I suppose.

Unable to see the Demon Clan struggling in the dungeon he carefully designed, Gong Qiying finds even watching Luluwo and their exploration journey uninteresting today.

He's tired of playing with the Human Race; he wants to try something with the Demon Clan.

However, what's worth being happy about is that the turnover of Sain Dungeon in the Scameroon region keeps increasing. Although it still can't compete with the two big brothers, Yanor Kingdom and Warrior Country, it's at least becoming profitable.

"Does repeated high-intensity battle strengthen the soldiers, thereby also improving their spiritual power, leading to increased turnover?"

That's one of the reasons, but not all of it.

According to Gong Qiying's observations, the rebel army that took control of Hepa Town for the second time has been showing previously unseen behavior.

They're providing Sain Dungeon with more spiritual power imbued with faith.

In other words, these rebels have become more loyal.

What's going on?

The rebels who can provide Sain with faith are either from the Starfire Church of Gwyn or the Dark Moon Sword of Gwendolin. Most of these people are the original batch, and the increased number of rebels mostly comes from other churches.

Members of these other churches don't believe in the characters inside Sain Dungeon, so why can they also provide such high-quality spiritual power?

He knows that the Wilderness Church was influenced by the Painting World to start believing in Gwyn, but the new batch of rebels hasn't even been in Sain yet.

Yet their first entry into Sain enables them to provide faith spirit power.

Could it be because...

"Is there someone from Sain spreading the doctrine within the rebel army on their own initiative?"

This situation can be considered very good; it's something every City Lord would love to see.

Gong Qiying looked over the growing reserves of spiritual power, and the spiritual power exhausted from the previous fierce battle with the Holy Light Underground City has now been replenished. It's a good sign.

"What will happen if faith keeps growing?"

——————————

An excited heart, a trembling hand.

When they opened their eyes and saw the bonfire, there was definitely some negative emotion in their eyes, but it was mostly confusion.

However, upon realizing that their location was actually the damn Flying Dragon Bridge and that the red Flying Dragon overhead began to move upon noticing them, rage quickly overcame confusion, and everyone went into a fiery rage!

"Why did we end up here?"

It's at least a ten-minute journey from here to Sain Ancient City!

The ten-minute journey wouldn't be a problem if they hadn't already traversed so far inside Sain Ancient City, with the five narrow bridges alone totaling five kilometers, not to mention the winding and time-consuming terrain outside the narrow bridges in the ancient city....

You could say they lost nearly two hours of progress due to this fall!

Who wouldn't be frustrated, angry, even furious in such a situation?

For some reason, they all feel like this is the time for a relevant ballad, with the tone best suited to narrate the difficulty of the journey, preferably being sung by an old man.

"Aaargh——"

The furious roar of the red Flying Dragon resounded, causing the ground beneath to tremble. They've been discovered.

"Stop dwelling on it; run!"

The red Flying Dragon's hideous head had already poked into the building not far away, glaring at the crowd with eyes full of rage, clearly remembering those blows it received from Fingerley. Without further ado, it opened its mouth wide, and a scorching Dragon Flame attacked!
