The most important reason why Li Yun spent great efforts to make these Demon Batmen and Drow Elves submit to his obscenity was precisely because of the consideration of the long-term stability of the surface production base. For these underground creatures www.biquge.info they can engage in an invasive and harassing kind of warfare on the ground, and in fact, they have always done so. And the advantage of large-scale group warfare of surface races is difficult to play in the dark region where there are many traps and dark and invisible objects, which is why many surface creatures hate the creatures of the dark world, but they are helpless.

Li Yun knew that it would be impossible for him to wipe out the subterranean creatures in this domain in a short period of time. Even if it could, it would be tempting for the attraction of the viable Dome and the tunnels that would lead to new subterranean creatures. When you have a good granary and a rat-infested cellar, the best thing to do is to have a bunch of cats in the cellar, or tough rats with absolute loyalty, to act as a counterbalance. Undoubtedly, the Demon Batman and the Drow Elf are the checks and balances rats selected by Li Yun. Although they were not strong enough now, Li Yun now felt that by getting rid of that ruler and giving these underground inhabitants some guidance and strength, he could firmly control the near-surface dark world of this domain.

Through his conversations with the Demon Batman Elder, Li Yun learned that the ruler controlled a total of four domes and countless dead holes, living holes, and tunnels, including this dome...... A total of about 100,000 cubic kilometers of the underground world. The ruler feeds on the brains of various sapient beings, and the demand is increasing significantly. Creatures that are relatively rare in the underworld, such as humans on the surface, can please him. The ruler curses a creature he considers valuable in his area with a very small magical parasite, and can blast that creature's brain into a real pulp whenever he wishes. The ruler resides in The Middledark, the middle of the Netherlands. And the lowest level of the abyss under Li Yun is the wind tunnel leading to the death dome where the ruler lives.

Li Yun also learned that the other two domes were inhabited by two large populations, one group was the ground minotaur, (note, it was the minotaur, not the minotaur) and the other group lived in the deeper part of the cave people. As for the other small groups, Elephant Bear Goblins, Goblins, Goblins, Lizardmen, Mind Flayers, Tentacles, and Waste Giants...... Because of the disadvantage in absolute numbers or the difference in combat effectiveness, it is not enough to be mentioned that it can only choose other living holes such as connected giant caves or corridors to survive. This situation was quite a headache for Li Yun, the ruler may have taken a long time to control so many evil subjects, and it was obviously very laborious to take over this Underland kingdom that only controlled and had no loyalty to speak of. After truly understanding how complex this region was, Li Yun began to wonder if it was a wise decision to get rid of this ruler.

In the end, Li Yun decided to solve the problem with the most popular bloody killings in the underworld. Kill the ruler, and then under the banner of 'those who follow will prosper, and those who oppose will perish', start a war of conquest against the other two large populations, and the other small populations, if they do not know the affairs, will all be expelled or killed. This is obviously a long plan, and if it is really implemented, it will definitely not be possible to use troops against Quirdan next spring, but in order to keep the production base on the surface, Li Yun believes that this sacrifice is worth it. At the same time, Li Yun is also optimistic about the potential value of the Demon Batman and Drow and other underground races. Not to mention Drow's intelligence and craftsmanship, the products of the Demon Batman are equally commendable. Also, the various bats trained by the Devil Batman are very useful creatures. From detected bee bats to battle bats with a wingspan of up to 18 feet that can carry large heavy spears, they offer a great mobility advantage not only in underground battlefields, but also on surface battlefields. Minotaurs have combat abilities that are not inferior to human berserkers, while cavemen are very famous siege soldiers in the underworld. The rest of the population can be used as coolies, slaves, or to form a considerable combat force, because the Dark Regions itself is a violent world, so these Bottom creatures are born rough level warriors, and once they spend time and effort, their fighting instincts will make them good combat or coolies. Of course, one of the most important prerequisites is that there must be absolute control, otherwise, 100% of the betrayal or defection will happen.

Li Yun was not in a hurry to kill the ruler, and accompanied by the Demon Batman Elder and a Drow leader, Li Yun carefully visited the Dome that he had renamed Underground No. 1. The name is rubbish, but it is in line with Li Yun's character, for his own things, he just wants to be convenient and easy to remember, and the gorgeous name has no meaning.

Li Yun also listened with great interest about the daily life of these new subjects, and it was already two days later until all four hunting parties returned. Of course, these four teams of elite fighters who have not seen Li Yun's true ability will not surrender easily, Li Yun showed unprecedented patience and allowed them to attack together, but there was no suspense in the result, the gap between Li Yun and them was no longer something that could be made up by a simple number, and in only half an hour, none of the nearly five hundred elite fighters could still stand. At this point, Li Yun used his usual intimidation tactics in exchange for the allegiance of these highly intelligent Underland creatures. There are 821 Batmen and 337 Drow Elves.

Li Yun knew that the miracle of the seemingly accidental victory of the intimidation trick was actually an inevitability under careful operation. In order to survive, one can give in to the first strong, and the same can be to the second. The more the atmosphere lacks faith in justice, the more so it is. Shame, loyalty, credibility, and morality cannot override the will to live. Perhaps, in the eyes of many righteous people, this is a sign of weakness, but it does exist and happens in every corner of the world, with different environments, different education, and huge differences in the way of survival. Li Yun had never despised this practice, because in the face of the same situation, Li Yun's choice was not different from theirs, and his bowing to Kalushu and the creator god was already very revealing.

Li Yun also knew that his throne was now on the sand, and only by killing that ruler and going through a long process could his majesty truly penetrate into the hearts of these underground creatures. The most fundamental link between the monarch and his subjects is still interests, and the monarch is the master of his subjects, and the subjects will work for their lives.

The offerings brought back by the hunting party this time were more than twenty young human men and women. Li Yun learned that they had exchanged rare underground minerals and artifacts produced by some Demon Batmen and Drow Elves to illegal traders on the surface. Pushing compatriots into the fire pit for the sake of profit, this kind of ugly thing is not uncommon in human society. There are many worse and more heinous things than this, Li Yun is not surprised by this, he has seen enough cruel things. Good and evil, the two extremes of human beings have always been beyond the reach of other races.

Li Yun is not a saint, and he will not rescue these humans back to the ground. Li Yun is not a villain, and he will not let these youthful beings become the food for the ruler who is about to die. Li Yun is a ruthless person, he makes these people choose between being enslaved and being killed, in fact, he gives them only one way, to live here, to work, to cultivate, in exchange for a reason to live. Because Li Yun knows that in the depths of the soul of every life, there is a survival instinct to try to live, especially when they really realize how terrible death is, the thought of living with a glimmer of hope will make them endure a lot of pain and humiliation. In this way, these human men and women became part of this big family. Li Yun didn't make any contract with them, because everyone knew in their hearts that with their own strength, it would be impossible for them to return to the surface.

Although the Demon Batman Elder showed Li Yun a very detailed map of the dark world in this domain, Li Yun finally chose to use the fast-track-like abyss to go to the ruler's residence. As usual, Li Yun did not trust these seemingly unusually respectful subjects. Ever since the Demon Batman Elder led his clan to succumb easily, Li Yun knew that they actually harbored evil intentions, and probably, the result that he and the ruler were both defeated or both killed was the result that these underground creatures were most willing to see.

Returning to the abyss, Li Yun continued to descend, this time, he did not stop for any of the tunnel entrances that appeared on the side wall, and the dive was more than 30,000 feet. From this sneak, Li Yun really intuitively understood what depth is. An underground passage that is basically naturally formed and has a vertical distance of more than 12 kilometers is a miracle of nature in itself. In the face of this miracle, Li Yun felt for the first time the insignificance of human power and the strength of divine power, as well as his previous arrogance. For this world, he is still just an ant-like existence, and in the same way, for the Lord God who created all this, it is not worth spending too much energy or time to deal with it now.

At the bottom of the abyssal cave was the spatial gap that Li Yun feared the most. The dark, incomprehensible chaotic energy hung there silently like a rippling undercurrent. Li Yun didn't want to know what was behind it at all, because he wasn't sure about returning to this space. Along the bottom of the side-opening tunnel, Li Yun crept forward. Yes, crawling, only crawling here, the narrow, hot flashes of passage less than three feet high and fifteen feet wide, like a flat slit. The tunnel that slopes down is not a road at all, the water dripping from the top wall makes the rocks below smooth and wet, and in front of it, there is darkness that cannot be seen at a glance, crawling through it, as if the huge rock on the top is more than ten kilometers thick and will crush this crack at any time, that kind of oppressive feeling, it is simply terrifying.

"It's really painful to be crushed to death here!" Li Yun, who was crawling, looked at a pile of unknown bones not far away, and secretly mocked in his heart. The oxen were not there, and he did not know how the owner of the skeleton had come down here. This oblique downward air duct is 1 kilometer long, and it is directly connected to a huge wet hole, where there is a thin flow of water near the edge of the exit, and the blue fluorescent moss grows thinly, as if a neon tube has been set up in the dark night, and the effect of the faint light is only eerie. The world in his left eye is relatively vivid, the difference in temperature between the rocks makes this place look much more three-dimensional, and Li Yun can even see the fine waterways behind the rocks like human veins, which is very dazzling.

This is followed by a narrow passage. The top of the passage is about 3,000 feet, and Li Yun's eyesight cannot clearly see the end. And its width, the widest part of it is only for two people to stand side by side, and in most cases, it is necessary to move sideways, and in some places, the slender ones must be climbed up before they can be bypassed. Li Yun sighed again, if someone attacked him with arrows or magic attacks from both sides now, the hit rate must be quite high. Compared to the previous one, this wind duct made of rhyolite was longer, and it was only after more than 10,000 feet that Li Yun saw the end.

As if to reward the adventurers who traveled here, coming out of the narrow passage, what appeared in front of Li Yunman was an underground pond composed of countless stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars. The width of the pond makes the Raven River in the south of Nesmail City ashamed. The purity of the pond water is not much better than the water of the spring where Li Yun dropped a drop of eternal water in the misty forest. The most attractive thing is that in this pond where the water depth is not as deep as Li Yun's chest, there are clusters of prismatic crystal structures that exude a bright blue soft light, these are pure, containing a large amount of water elements of the spar is a precious underground pond spar, which has a wide range of uses, and definitely belongs to the treasure of heaven and earth. Here and now, these hedrons, which can make countless people crazy, quietly radiate their light, becoming one of the most extravagant lighting items, rendering the underground cistern a magnificent blue.

Crossing the pond, Li Yun followed the map route that had been imprinted in his mind for a long time, and turned onto a knee-high passage with water to his heart. A large amount of dripping water echoes through the passage, filling the passage with the sound of a small waterfall, and walking through it makes you feel like you are back in a rainy waterlogged alley. Moreover, this aqueduct is the entrance to a labyrinth, and many of the flowing waters end in dead ends from high places or between walls, while others send unsuspecting creatures to another lower world that knows how deep it is. There were countless fine gray powder floating in the water, which was very turbid, and Li Yun had to pay careful attention to the whirlpool undercurrents that were not easy to find under the surface of the water that was rippled by the dripping water.

Through confirmation, until now, Li Yun found that the map given by the Demon Batman Elder did not do anything wrong, on the contrary, the details were a bit incredible, and Li Yun faintly felt that there was a problem in this. But he decided to go ahead anyway, and he thought the answer should be known when he met the ruler.

When Li Yunlian arrived at his destination, it was already the night of December 30, and he had been stranded in the dark world for more than three days. As this year's 'year-end award', Li Yun met a special enemy who had a profound impact on his subsequent destiny - Tigalus, an extraordinary figure who failed on the road to godhood, in the underground of more than ten kilometers.
