"What shall we do now?" Grotak asked Hwait. "The other party is rubbing me off the wrong way."

"Let me think about it for a bit." Hwait sat on the ground, staring at the figure of the Supreme Monster Gecko that was far away. "Our goal has always been to escape from this place. There's nothing much for us to do here except to rot and wait in boredom. We've never had to face any threats."

"Some are in the opinion of remaining here. After all, if more races are brought over, we would have enough things to worry about. That might be fun," Feater interjected.

"You may be right," Hwait nodded as he replied. "However, haven't you always been curious about the world from which humans had been brought in at first?"

Sighing in nostalgia, he continued, "Every human of the first generation was impossibly strong to the extent I could not even grasp their actual power. Sadly, a heavenly power suppressed them into the mortals we see in the cities now."

"Embarking into such a dangerous world and having to face the humans and the possibly other myriad races, doesn't the adventure excite you?" Hwait looked at the two Black Demons seated next to it and asked. "In contrast, even though we're basically immortal here, there's nothing much for us to do. Every demon from Tier 5 and below is constantly urged by the notion of marching towards the cities. But in actuality, there is nothing awaiting us at the destination."

"That's just how this world has been created," Hwait lamented. "We have no use being in this world. So, why not escape towards one where we can forge our own destinies?"

"Then, as for the invite from the Monster Geckos" Grotak asked, only for him to trail off at the end.

"Let's see what they have to offer." Hwait nodded. "If they're indeed capable of bringing us out of this world, then we'll do as they say for the time being. Let's first drop in some Red and Yellow Demons and see how they fare there. We'll decide accordingly."

Once Hwait said its decision, the other Black Demons followed it religiously, heading towards a couple of valleys where numerous Demons were marching forth, grabbing a bunch of them before returning.

The Black Demons dropped all the Yellow and Red Demons into the hole, commanding them, "There are humans inside. Find and kill them."

The word human acted like a trigger to guide the Red and Yellow demons into exploring the labyrinth. Moreover, as the orders were given to them by the Black Demons, their leaders, they had no other choice but to follow.

One of the Black Demons explored the massive hole, noticing a door of sorts being placed in a couple of directions. There were 10 such doors in total. Surprisingly, each door seemed to be the entrance to tunnels proceeding about in various directions.

A couple of Yellow Demons headed into a gate, embarking on the path as they continued to walk, soon sensing something amiss as they made eye contact. They noticed the density of the miasma around them had decreased, causing them to worry a bit.

However, not long after, as they continued to proceed deeper and deeper into the path, they were in a slight panic. The density of the miasma had fallen sharply, soon disappearing by the time they had walked a kilometer into the path.

After walking for some more, they came across a fork, one that split up into three paths. Nodding, they decided to proceed together as a group, picking the path in the center. They then walked for a dozen meters when bone spikes shot out from the ground, intending to impale them.

Unfortunately, they failed to even scratch them, stopped by the toughness of their bodies. Heaving a sigh of relief, the two Yellow Demons proceeded even further, suddenly noticing tens of Monster Geckos rush out from a section that suddenly opened behind them.

For a moment, the sight of a different species startled them. In any case, their reactions were stellar, defending themselves against the Monster Geckos, realizing that their opponents werespectacularly weak.

It wasn't surprising because even Feifei was only at Tier 3 when the Yellow Demons were the equivalent of Tier 4. So, the regular Monster Geckos she created failed to even scratch the Yellow Demons.

Within ten seconds, the Yellow Demons made short work of all the Monster Geckos, noticing the confusion in the faces of each other.

"The Black Demons made it seem so ominous. But, why are the enemies so weak?" one of them muttered.

"Maybe we'll find the answer once we head deeper." The other nodded, trembling a little as it noticed its body was mildly numb. When it punched the Monster Geckos, they splattered like balloons under its force. Their blood fell on the Yellow Demons every time.

And with enough blood on their bodies, the Yellow Demons began to feel a bit cold. Moreover, the deeper they went, the colder it got, causing them to begin shivering from the cold after a certain point.

Soon, they arrived at a massive chamber, gazing at a liquid that was in the ground. One of the Yellow Demons lightly dipped its index finger into it, retracting it immediately to see that it had turned into ice.

The Yellow Demon quickly broke off the ice, shuddering at the cold as it said, "At this rate, we'll freeze over."

"We never had to worry about it before. But..." The other Yellow Demon frowned. "Without the miasma, we'll freeze over eventually."

Saying that, it gazed forward, noticing ice spikes covering the walls while the body with the mysterious cold liquid spanning at least a couple of kilometers, resembling an underground pond. The ceiling was only a meter above the liquid surface, not giving them enough space to fly over.

So, anyone that came here would have no other choice but to head into the water to pass through.

Upon seeing this, the Yellow Demons muttered simultaneously, "Let's return and inform the Black Demons about this first. We'll act according to their decisions."

However, what they hadn't sensed was the fact that more than thirty Monster Geckos were standing behind them, carrying a massive log made from a bone tree, charging through the straight path before ramming into the Yellow Demons.

The force was enough to send the two Yellow Demons hurling into the water. Unfortunately for the demons, right as the Yellow Demons unfurled their wings, intending to stabilize themselves in the air and not fall without control when numerous hands shot out from the water, latching onto their bodies.

It was a train of Monster Geckos, using their bodies to weigh down the Yellow Demons, soon pulling them into the cold liquid. A minute later, a team of Monster Geckos surfaced on the other side of the pond, dragging two ice sculptures deeper into the labyrinth.
