Chapter 264 First Day of Underground Reconnaissance

An ordinary demon monarch would find it much more difficult to advance underground than me . They can only go up to 50 kilometers deep . Any further and the rocks are too hard for them; they will be too slow . To an ordinary demon monarch, going 50 kilometers deep underground is equivalent to traveling thousands of kilometers on the surface . Therefore, third Firmament demon monarchs are typically within 50 kilometers of the surface .

Fourth Firmament demon monarchs will usually be about 50 to 100 kilometers from the surface because of King White Treasure’s constant reconnaissance . Meng Chuan nodded slightly . Earth Net also searches for demon monarch lairs . Although they can’t be compared to King White Treasure, they can roughly figure out the unspoken rules of where demon monarch lairs are located .

The underground was vast . It would be very difficult to find demon monarchs 100 kilometers deep underground without any powerful reconnaissance methods .

Meng Chuan flew up and reached a depth of 40 kilometers underground .

Let’s begin . At a depth of 40 kilometers underground, Meng Chuan kept his Divine Eye of Lightning open . He used his electromagnetic domain to probe his surroundings . Following that, he transformed into a stream of light and flew west . He began a blanket search .

There were many demon monarchs in the human world, but the land was vast . Since most of them hid 100 kilometers deep underground, finding their underground lairs was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack! Earth Net typically followed the traces of escaping demon monarchs . If one was lucky, they could discover a demon monarch lair .

areas

One had to be capable of scanning large areas and be extremely fast to be efficient when conducting a blanket search of the underground . Otherwise, it would be better to wait for the demon monarchs to attack the cities .

Whoosh .

With the sensory feedback of his electromagnetic domain, Meng Chuan could ensure that he flew in a straight line .

So many demon monarchs have infiltrated the human world, yetit’s still so difficult to find them underground . Meng Chuan flew as his electromagnetic domain scanned a 1 . 5 kilometer-area around him . Even so, he didn’t discover any demon monarchs .

Swoosh!

Meng Chuan flew at high speeds, passing through countless rocks . At 40 kilometers deep in the ground, everything was rock .

After flying for 15 minutes and over 5,000 kilometers, Meng Chuan finally discovered a demon monarch lair .

Oh? When he discovered the demon monarch lair with his electromagnetic domain, Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised . This was because he had flown more than 5,000 kilometers underground and was constantly scanning . With just rocks everywhere, it was a test of patience .

At that moment, Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised . The electromagnetic domain enveloped the lair . This lair was nearly 1 . 5 kilometers above Meng Chuan . It was a cave palace dug out from rock . Inside the palace were more than 100 ordinary demons, five second Firmament demon monarchs, and two third Firmament demon monarchs .

“Come, have a drink . ”

“Let’s drink . ”

The seven demon monarchs were drunk .

“Demon Monarch Fox, you have done a good job stealing wine from the human race,” said Demon Monarch Elephant, who was sitting at the main seat of honor .

“Brother, this is just a little trick of mine . I can sneak into human cities to charm mortals and easily obtain large amounts of fine wine . It’s actually more troublesome to sneak into the cave abode while carrying the wine,” said Demon Monarch Fox with a smile . Beside him, a lesser demon was diligently pouring wine for him . These ordinary demons were personally brought to the cave abode by the demon monarchs . It was impossible for ordinary demons to come so deep underground by themselves .

These hundreds of ordinary demons would not leave once they entered the lair . They only had one purpose-to serve the demon monarchs .

“If we have a storage bag, it’ll be much more convenient . ”

“How can storage bags be so easily obtained?”

“Let’s drink . ”

These demon monarchs drank alcohol, reveling in their inebriation .

They could only hide underground in the human world . It was easy to steal alcohol, but if they wanted to slaughter humans, they would attract Godfiends . They would then be risking their lives .

“There’s only one Godfiend team in the surrounding two or three prefectures . We slaughter some mortals and immediately flee . Those Godfiend teams won’t be able to catch up to us . ”

“Mm, speaking of which, it’s still faster to accumulate credit in the human world . ”

“It’s just that the days are somewhat stifling . In a few more days, we will go out and slaughter once more . This time, we will definitely slaughter more than 10,000 humans . ”

“Flee after we slaughter some . If we end up fleeing too late to slaughter more than 10,000 humans, it’ll be too late for regret . ”

The demon monarchs chatted and drank .

“What’s that?” The demon monarchs were suddenly taken aback .

Resplendent dark-red streams of light appeared in the hall at lightning speed . They tore through the demon monarchs’ heads .

“Not good . ”

“Human Godfiend!” Only the two third Firmament demon monarchs reacted, but they were unable to dodge . The Darkstar Quintessential Essence penetrated their heads .

In the blink of an eye, seven demon monarchs and more than 100 ordinary demons died in this demon lair .

Killing these demon monarchs means saving lives . Meng Chuan appeared in the hall with a cold expression . When he heard the demon monarchs’ conversation, he became even angrier . Every demon monarch had too many human lives on their hands .

Whoosh .

With a wave of his hand, Meng Chuan stored the seven demon monarch corpses and their items in his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead .

In just 15 minutes, I killed seven demon monarchs . It’s indeed much faster than on the surface . When he was in charge of six states, he only received one rescue mission every half-month . Meng Chuan wouldn’t be deployed when ordinary demon monarchs attacked cities . He was but one person, after all . Meng Chuan would usually fly around Jiang State Capital and intercept the demon monarchs when he discovered them . Even so, killing 200 to 300 demon monarchs a year was already pretty good .

Continue .

Meng Chuan continued flying .

The Great Zhou Dynasty was vast . The route from east to west spanned 10,000 kilometers long . Further west was the Black Sand Dynasty .

After flying 10,000 kilometers, Meng Chuan only discovered one demon monarch lair .

Continue .

Meng Chuan continued flying the same 10,000 kilometers . From the west to the east, it was parallel to the route from before . This was also the rule of a blanket search . He basically didn’t miss out on anything by scanning the area over and over again .

Meng Chuan didn’t find a single demon monarch lair on his second 10,000-kilometer stretch .

He continued flying!

For more than 12 hours, Meng Chuan continued to scan the underground with his electromagnetic domain . He traveled the 10,000-kilometer stretch 20 times . At 40 kilometers from the surface, he traveled 10,000 kilometers 16 times! At a depth of 80 kilometers underground, he traveled 10,000 kilometers four times! He traveled at a depth of 80 kilometers underground in an attempt to find fourth Firmament demon monarchs .

Clang!

He broke through the soil and soared into the sky .

Meng Chuan flew towards Jiang State Capital from the East Sea . It was already a dark evening . He couldn’t hide the fatigue on his face . Although it was very easy for him to maintain the Divine Eye of Lightning, he still felt extremely exhausted after 12 hours . His Essence Soul was somewhat dispirited . He had to go back and rest .

Whoosh .

Meng Chuan flew through the clouds . At that moment, he realized that it was actually very relaxing when he didn’t keep the Divine Eye of Lightning active .

Soon, he arrived at Jiang State Capital . Meng Chuan flew down and returned to Meng Manor’s Lake Heart Pavilion .

Liu Qiyue was already waiting in the hall . There were plates of food on the table . “He’s here . ” Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up . Invisible flames immediately seeped into the food, raising the temperature of the food . Meng Chuan arrived in the hall, and he took in the aroma of food; it was fragrant . “How fragrant,” praised Meng Chuan . He was quite satisfied that he could smell the fragrance of piping hot food after an exhausting day .

“You’er and An’er just finished eating and went to rest,” said Liu Qiyue . “How was your first day out?”

“Tiring, but enjoyable . ” Meng Chuan sat down and finished the tea that his wife prepared in one gulp . He smiled and said, “Today, I discovered 11 demon monarch lairs . I killed 116 demon monarchs and thousands of ordinary demons . I finally understand how King White Treasure killed 20,000 to 30,000 demon monarchs a year by himself . ”
