Lear's interest surged as he reached out to take the charred stone from the Great Demon's hand.

It was quite heavy, like metal.

When he extended his senses, he could clearly detect the abundant energy contained within.

It was as if magic power had been compressed inside.

Magma Coal

[Level]: 3 Stars

[Traits]: After burning, it can release extreme heat and can trigger the surrounding magic power.

[Evaluation]: An excellent weapon forging fuel.

Though the attributes were simple, it was exactly what he wanted!

Lear's mood was greatly uplifted.

He couldn't wait to look to his side.

"Great Demon, go capture all the Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts!"

"Bubble Beast, you're in charge of imprisoning them, and at the same time, use bubbles to widen the burrow..."

The order was given, and the Great Demon immediately sprang into action, the power within his body surging out as he vanished into the void.

In just a few short breaths, he returned with a Big-mouthed Scavenger Beast in his hand...

The Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts looked fierce but their level was not high; they couldn't stir up the slightest trouble against a Level 15 hero.

After being captured, these creatures seemed bewildered, as if they had no idea what was happening.

Before they could react, they were imprisoned in bubbles.

Thanks to the high efficiency of the Great Demon, it didn't take long before the Bubble Beast's bubbles were filled with Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts.

These creatures, with their open big mouths and bodies resembling lizards, blinked their large eyes and glanced around, appearing quite silly.

The Gray Dwarves looked puzzled upon seeing this and whispered.

"Great Lord, the Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts are not very intelligent, they only eat and excrete... very annoying."

"If you need them, I can take you back to Molten Iron City, and have the City Lord find you another batch..."

"Oh? Are Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts common?"

"Not exactly common, but they're not rare either... if you look carefully, you can still find them."

Lear became interested.

"How far is Molten Iron City from here?"

"It's about a three days' walk..."

"Is that city a Gray Dwarf city?"

"Yes, my lord! It belongs to us Gray Dwarves!!"

"Molten Iron City has a powerful Crossbow Arrow Legion, a fully armed Heavy Infantry Legion, and also the renowned Wild Boar Cavalry."

"It's the most powerful force in the area!"

"The elves of the Holy Song Clan, in front of Molten Iron City, are as weak as newborn cubs."

"Is that so? How many people does Molten Iron City have?"

"Over 200,000! Our military exceeds 50,000... capable of destroying most nearby forces!"

"Who is the strongest in Molten Iron City? What level?"

"It is our City Lord, Level 19, just one step away from becoming Extraordinary!"

"Level 19? No wonder... What's Molten Iron City known for?"

"The armor and weapons we produce are welcomed by all forces! If you need them, you can also purchase them in Molten Iron City, the Gray Dwarves do not discriminate against surface dwellers."

"Interesting... What does Furnace City lack?"

"Molten Iron City lacks nothing! Just fine wine!"

The Gray Dwarf grinned with a hint of pride.

"Moreover, Molten Iron City's auction house is famous around the Dark Mountains!"

"A half-divine artifact was once auctioned there!"

"In two months, on the last day of December, the annual Dark Auction will begin."

"I strongly recommend you participate once, the items inside will surely be an eye-opener for you."

Lear squinted his eyes slightly.

Half-divine artifact?

He turned to the Dark Night Elf beside him.

Isa noticed his gaze and immediately nodded her head.

"Yes, my lord... Three years ago, a demigod-level weapon was publicly auctioned in Molten Iron City."

"It was eventually bought by a Level 19 Minotaur Chief... which caused a massive riot."

"Their annual Dark Auction is very famous near the Dark Mountains, and every time it attracts a large amount of High-Tier treasures."

Lear became very interested.

This Underworld sure was wild, Lorand City hadn't heard of any half-divine artifact auctions... Of course, that might also be because his original identity's class was not high enough to reach this realm.

After asking a bit more, he roughly sketched an image of Molten Iron City in his mind.

A dungeon with a Level 19 hero in command, a well-organized army, ample logistic support, and very prosperous trade, holding great prestige in the region.

It's a pity, though, that their main business is also weapons, causing a conflict with Weilu City.

Otherwise, expanding business into the Underworld wouldn't be such an unthinkable task.

Given the opportunity, it might be worth exploring Molten Iron City.

The Underworld always has a unique allure.

During the conversation, the Great Demon also completed his task of capturing all the Big-mouthed Scavenger Beasts.

They were all imprisoned within the bubbles.

These, in the future, would become his fertilizer production tools.

Lear smiled in satisfaction.

Though there's no fertilizer factory, the solution in the Fantasy World is far simpler.

Once the Great Demon finished, the Bubble Beast commenced the next phase of action.

Puckering its mouth, it blew bubbles that fell at the entrance of the hole.

The bubbles were like the mouths of giant beasts, directly devouring large swathes of earth before floating to one side to dump it.

The bubbles operated intensely, resembling dozens of excavators working at high intensity.

In less than half an hour, the one-meter-wide passage widened to a three-meter diameter, sloping down into the underground depths.

When the Bubble Beast ceased its actions, Lear felt a bit impatient.

With curiosity brimming in his heart, he followed the passage inside.

Traversing more than twenty meters of the tunnel, he arrived at an oval space over two meters high.

Approximately fifty meters in diameter.
