Upon entering the underground space, Gu Xi began to look around.

Soon, the Holy Silver Evil Coffin moved to a position near the entrance.

Gu Xi had already seen that at the end of the passage, under the large slope, there was the Thief’s Nest for training thieves, along with the Scorpion Lion’s Nest built here for training scorpion lions.

The cavern with piles of bones in front was where the Scorpion Lion’s Nest was located.

Thus, the underground space’s layout intentions were quite clear.

The caves along the way served as guiding lights, with harpies arranged for guarding.

At the entrance to the underground space, thieves of relatively low Level were arranged to prevent enemy intrusion.

As for the scorpion lions, their Combat Power was second only to the Giant Dragon; they were placed here for another reason.

Scorpion lions can paralyze enemies when they Attack, meaning they have crowd control abilities.

In this situation, even if someone could Stealth in, they would be stopped immediately.

As for entering from the vertical passage in the middle of the underground space.

That’s even less likely.

Up there must be the castle of the Demon City.

If one really had the ability to capture the castle, dropping directly through the passage would mean the city was largely conquered, and this defense line would be pointless.

It can be said that the one who arranged the underground space considered everything thoroughly.

With this realization, Gu Xi felt somewhat relieved.

At this time, what Gu Xi hoped most was that the other party would also pay attention to food supplies.

He hoped the already established Mushroom Farm and Underground Farm would provide enough provisions for Gu Xi.

Upon entering the underground space, Gu Xi discovered not much open ground below.

Despite the space being forty square kilometers, which is about eight thousand football fields in area.

To an individual, that’s relatively large.

However, for a city, it’s still small.

The most important thing is that this area also needs to be arranged for production and living spaces.

In this underground space, the land use was squeezed into every nook and cranny.

The farms weren’t like those in Yalidu City, with dedicated Magic Plant Districts for placement.

In this underground space, farms were crammed into available spots.

For example, the Mushroom Farm ahead, if not for the map’s guidance, Gu Xi wouldn’t have known this was farmland.

The location appears to be the edge squeezed between two buildings.

It feels like an alley between two skyscrapers.

The ground was covered with numerous Stones, and the only parts resembling farmland were the Green plants growing in ground fissures.

Gu Xi glanced down, only to find that what appeared to be cabbage-like plants suddenly jumped up, attempting to bite him.

Fortunately, Gu Xi reacted swiftly, and with a strike from his Illusion Magic Wand, knocked the cabbage onto the ground.

After the cabbage was struck down, Gu Xi noticed that besides having a grinning mouth, the cabbage also had a pair of eyes. If it weren’t for its Green color, one might even suspect it was a human head.

"What’s the situation here?"

Upon asking this, all the cabbages in the ground crevices nearby opened their eyes and stared intently at Gu Xi.

It seemed that if Gu Xi approached, they would leap forward to tear him apart.

Gu Xi wasn’t one to fear a confrontation, and faced with this situation, he coldly snorted, raising his Illusion Magic Wand preparing to act.

At that moment, many creatures with Green skin, resembling four-limbed potatoes, ran out from nearby.

They carried short-stick-made tools and came forward, using these short sticks to hit the cabbage heads.

With their strikes, the cabbages stopped moving, their eyes closing.

After these potato-like creatures dealt with the situation, Gu Xi waved at them.

Yet, none of these little potatoes paid attention to Gu Xi, instead leaving swiftly like they hadn’t noticed him earlier.

"Wait."

Seeing this, Gu Xi hurriedly stopped them.

A few of the little potatoes paused, sideways looking somewhat hesitatingly, but not directly at Gu Xi.

At this point, Gu Xi contemplated a possibility.

"Are you the Cave Dwellers nearby? Are you a formal unit with a composition? Who’s the leader, come out and speak."

From Gu Xi’s inquiry, a potato-headed individual stepped forward.

He politely saluted Gu Xi and respectfully said, "Sir."

"You can’t see?"

Looking at the Cave Dwellers before him, Gu Xi directly asked this question.

From the moment the Cave Dwellers appeared, Gu Xi noticed they ignored his gesture, indicating poor vision or even blindness.

"Yes, Sir, we can’t see. But we aren’t useless; we can work, function, and fight."

While speaking, the Cave Dweller revealed their weapons.

These were short Dagger-like weapons.

It could be seen that due to vision issues, the Cave Dwellers couldn’t battle from a distance, only in Close Combat.

However, Gu Xi noticed something else from the Cave Dwellers’ behavior.

They seemed afraid of being abandoned.

As Gu Xi spoke, they constantly proved their competence, not weaklings.

"Alright, enough with the irrelevant talk. What’s with the vegetables here?"

"Oh, Sir, these are called Deceitful Grass, an eerie plant.

Normally, they resemble cabbage, but if you stare at them, they’ll react, proactively attacking the person looking at them.

Since we can’t see, we’re perfect for cultivating this Deceitful Grass.

Most importantly, after growth, Deceitful Grass can be considered meat, favored by Evil Eyes, Medusas, and Harpies.

Sometimes, Scorpion Lions enjoy them too."

After hearing this, Gu Xi glanced up at the nearby planted cabbages.

"How fast does this Deceitful Grass grow? How often can it be harvested, and how much do Evil Eyes, Medusas, and Harpies consume?

With the Deceitful Grass here, how long can it sustain them?"

"Deceitful Grass grows easily; just water regularly. After pulling the grass, the roots remain, regrowing in about five days.

Annually, blood-meat fertilizer needs replenishing, but otherwise, it’s pure harvest time.

However, Deceitful Grass quantity isn’t high, and one plant can only supply a harpy’s day of food.

Medusas and Evil Eyes consume even more.

Conversely, Scorpion Lions treat Deceitful Grass as snacks, consuming less."
