Herag glanced at the mountain wall behind them and said, "So the base is built here?"

"That's right, this is the No.1 base in the Demon Plane. The original plan was to take some time to understand the situation here, determine whether it's worth conquering, and whether we have the ability to conquer it," Tony explained.

Herag asked, "Is this a middle-tier world or a high-tier world?"

"Of course, it's a middle-tier world. If it were a high-tier world, there would be no need for exploration," Tony said with a bitter smile.

He sighed and continued, "The Wizard Plane is not what it once was; after losing its top power, it no longer has the confidence to casually conquer other planes."

Now, when the Wizard Plane wants to conquer other planes, it must carefully explore at the beginning to confirm that the plane can be handled before launching a large-scale plane opening war.

If it were in the Era of Radiance, it wouldn't be so troublesome at all; almost anything below a high-tier world could be pushed through recklessly.

Herag nodded silently; he remembered the black robe wizard he had met a few days ago, whose origins were unknown.

"What's with this teleportation ring?" Herag took out the teleportation ring he had been given and asked.

Tony said, "The maker of the teleportation ring was a master of witchcraft artifacts, but no one expected him to be an Abyssal Cultist. He tampered with the teleportation ring and embedded the coordinates of the Demon Plane. This plane hasn't been thoroughly explored; it's full of uncertainties and is relatively dangerous."

This matched Herag's previous suspicion; the maker of the teleportation ring intended to trap them in this plane.

Since this is a middle-tier world with little information, even the expedition team was cautiously exploring; a group of crystallization wizards falling in would have a very low survival rate.

"Besides me, did you find other wizards participating in the Cradle Operation?" Herag asked.

"So far, including you, we've found four; the other three have already returned to the Wizard Plane through the teleportation array," Tony said.

There were a total of 180 wizards participating in the Cradle Operation; accounting for those who died in the X-617 World and the wizards who didn't activate the teleportation ring, there should be about 100 wizards who arrived at the Demon Plane.

Finding four out of all the wizards scattered across an entire plane was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, so finding four was already quite fortunate.

"By the way, did you encounter any other wizards? Like Medel," Tony casually mentioned.

Herag maintained a normal expression and shook his head, "I didn't meet any other wizards, well, I did."

"What do you mean?" Tony asked in confusion.

"I saw a wizard captured and imprisoned by locals in Amy City to the south, but I don't know the wizard's identity," Herag explained.

"Has anyone from the expedition team been captured by the locals here?" Herag inquired.

Tony shook his head, "No, so far we haven't been exposed. It seems that the wizard you mentioned should be one of those participating in the Cradle Operation. If they're in the city, rescue will be troublesome."

The expedition team knew that cities here were generally guarded by powerful beings, and any rescue attempt was bound to result in conflict.

In the past, individuals had to rely on their own resources.

But now, with the expedition team responsible for operations, they must take responsibility if people run into trouble.

They could ignore a rescue in the past, but now they can't.

However, these matters had little to do with Herag; he certainly wouldn't venture into Amy City again.

Should Arios still be there, it would spell trouble. The expedition team would have to find a way on their own, since the information had already been provided.

Herag noted Tony's specific mention of Medel. Although no one knew he had killed Medel, many had seen the two of them clash in the X-617 World. This matter warranted careful attention.

"Let's return to Base No.1 first." Tony looked around as he spoke.

Although it appeared deserted here, the abilities of exorcists were varied and unpredictable; there might be someone undetectable lurking in the shadows.

Herag then followed the two into Base No.1, passing through what appeared to be a solid mountain wall.

Inside the base was an open area, not very spacious, dotted with tents, and there was a conspicuous teleportation altar in the middle.

This was originally just an exploration base, so many facilities were missing, and the team's primary task was to gather intelligence about this plane.

Upon entering, Herag scanned the area and found a total of eight people, including himself.

"Our exploration team consists of twenty people; most are currently out on various tasks, leaving few people in the base," Tony said.

"Can you share some information about this plane?" Herag tried asking.

Tony smiled, "Much information cannot yet be disclosed to anyone outside the expedition team, but in truth, we don't know much. Having been here for a while, you must have encountered the local extraordinaries, who can absorb a kind of black energy to strengthen themselves. Their power system is very different from ours."

"What level is the strongest here approximately?" Herag asked.

"That is still unknown for now. Based on our current knowledge, the most formidable being here should be equivalent to a Level 3 Wizard on the Wizard Plane. There might be even stronger entities, but we have yet to encounter them," Tony replied.

Herag nodded and said, "I see, thank you. By the way, may I ask if there are any Level 3 Wizards in your team?"

"For this exploration operation, there aren't any; later, some Level 3 Wizards might join, mainly to rescue the wizards trapped here. Currently, I'm the person in charge of Base No.1, responsible for managing daily affairs and maintaining contact with the Wizard Plane," Tony explained.

Herag pondered, knowing Tony was a Level 2 Wizard. Based on his information, there were no Level 3 Wizards in the current expedition team either.

The black robe wizard he had encountered previously was clearly of a very high rank, likely beyond a Level 3 Wizard.

Thus, it's clear that this black robe wizard was not part of the expedition team and might not even be from the Land of Dawn.

But apart from the Land of Dawn, the Wizard Plane had only a few wizards on other continents, and their strength was relatively weak.

"Where exactly did that black robe wizard come from? The Sixth Ring Tower? However, according to the historical records of the Land of Dawn, the Sixth Ring Tower has already betrayed the Wizard Plane, and whether it still exists is uncertain." Herag sighed inwardly, lamenting his lack of information to make an accurate judgment.
