Zhan En's decision was not made out of thin air. Through the detection system of the underground castle, he had already figured out the range of human activity on the map. It can be seen that after the initial search, these humans seemed to have determined their direction of attack and began to gradually advance deeper into the dark region, building several supply points along the way. And Zhan En's goal was to raid these supply points and thoroughly eliminate all enemies... Of course, the supplies from the ground in the strongholds were Zhan En's main target.

  "It seems like the master has been favoring snatching recently."

  With half-closed eyes, Enya gazed at Jan with a hint of an eerie smile, while Jan responded to the deputy officer's sarcasm with a nonchalant shrug.

  "What's yours is mine, what's mine is still mine, that's life, you have to learn to enjoy it, Enyoa."

  "Yes, I know your life has always been full of surprises, Master."

  Upon hearing Jen's response, Enyo giggled and rolled her eyes at him before turning around to face Elise walking beside her. Although she was still a prisoner, as a high-ranking mage, Jen naturally included Elise in the list as well. Regardless of their relationship with each other, when facing surface-dwelling species, the Underworld could still unite and present a united front against outsiders.

  But at this moment, Alice didn't have the relaxed expression of just coming out of prison. On the contrary, her face was pale, her eyes were dazed, and even her eyes were a bit scattered. It looked like she had drunk a lot of wine and had a hangover headache.

  "By the way, Miss Erisu, your expression looks terrible. Haven't you been sleeping well lately?"

  "Huh? Ah... I'm fine, just a bit tired..."

  Upon hearing Enya's slightly worried inquiry, Elise was startled and then hastily shook her hands to respond. However, her eyes were secretly gazing at the back of Zane who was not far away.

  What Elise said was also true, she had been extremely tired lately. For some reason, every time she fell into a deep sleep, she would have all sorts of strange dreams. There were dreams of being punished by teachers as a student, educated by her father as a daughter, and even disciplined by her husband after becoming a wife. However, no matter how the scene in the dream changed, only Elise and Zhen were the unchanging protagonists. Sometimes it was a teacher she respected, sometimes it was a loving father, and sometimes it was a deeply loved husband. These dreams were so vivid that they even began to affect Elise's memory. Many times when Elise opened her eyes, she couldn't tell which part was reality and which part was her dream.

  Not only that, but even when Elise was meditating, she might fall into that chaotic dream. Even once, she had just entered a meditative state and saw Jane open the prison door and walk to her side, then roughly pressed her down under her body, tore off her clothes, and wantonly played with her body. And when Elise struggled desperately to open her eyes, she found herself unknowingly falling into another dream.

  It's precisely because of this that Elise has hardly slept well since then. She didn't dare to dream or think deeply, although as a half-vampire, her physical body was far superior to ordinary people, but the spiritual and physical aspects were different after all. If one is always tense, it's only natural to feel tired.

  But what made Elsie feel the most tense and fearful was that, with the change and increase of her dreams, she found herself becoming more and more inclined to accept those dreams!

  There were even several times when she fell onto the bed, wanting to sink into sleep due to exhaustion, and her heart was actually looking forward to what dreams she would have next. Although as a mage, Elrise still relied on her own strong willpower to pull back that spirit which was about to go astray, but even Elrise herself didn't know how much longer she could hold on. Even now, she was still somewhat dazed and confused, the boundary between reality and dreams already not so clear-cut anymore.

  "Hah...………"

  She let out a soft sigh, and with a complex gaze, Elise stared at the back of Jain in front of her. To be honest, Elise's feelings towards this underground city lord were also very complicated. At first, she was more afraid of Jain, but now, Elise's emotions towards Jain had become even stranger. She didn't know why she would have such dreams, nor did she know why Jain would be the main character in those dreams... Was it possible that she actually liked him?

  No, that shouldn't be the case! Thinking of this, Elise hastily shook her head and threw aside the sudden thought that had appeared in her mind. She was indeed a bit curious about Zhen, but to say she liked him would be a bit too exaggerated, not to mention having such an indecent dream... She wasn't that kind of girl, waaahhh...

  It's really interesting.

  Looking at Elise, who furrowed her brow and fell into deep thought, Jan's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a hint of a smile. Then he reached out to adjust his glasses and turned his head back to look forward again.

  In fact, the reason why Elise had such a strange dream was naturally because of Jain's sake. To know that the entire underground city is an extension of Jain's body and mind, so as long as it is in the underground city, Elise can't escape Jain's palm either. Moreover, what Jain did to Elise was not just a simple mental invasion, but "indoctrination".

  This is a unique skill that Zain has developed through his research on the "Demon Tribe's Seal", which can only be used by him. The Demon Tribe's Seal allows a person to fully immerse and fall into darkness, becoming a servant of the demon king. However, its fatal weakness is that it is only effective against those with lower strength. For example, Zain can use the Demon Tribe's Seal to change Bixie directly, but using it on Eris or Vilna would have no effect at all.

  But on this basis, Zhan En has made a unique study of a special skill - that is "education".

  Everyone's spirit has its weaknesses, and what Zhan En does is to infiltrate their spiritual realm without being aware of it, find the weakness and start attacking, then penetrate into the other party's heart and soul, and plant the demon tribe's mark in it.

  If we liken someone's spiritual world to a land covered in thick ice, then Jenn's work is to crack the ice shell, loosen the soil, bury seeds, water and fertilize them, and quietly wait for the seed to grow into a towering tree. Then melt all the hard ice shells around, transforming the spiritual world into a brand new heaven.

  From this perspective, calling Jian En the soul engineer is not an exaggeration either.

  But Zhan prefers to call himself a gardener who cultivates flowers.

  Eris's weakness lies in her "life". As a high-ranking magician, Eris is flawless in learning magic and fighting. If Jain tried to delve deeper into this aspect, it would be unlikely to have any impact on her. However, the opposite is true when it comes to life. As Jain said, living in the monastery has made Eris develop a simple and ascetic lifestyle, which is not typical of a noble lady.

  But on the other hand, this was also a completely unfamiliar field for Elise.

  So Zhan En would take this as a breakthrough, in fact, the dreams that Elise had every day were the illusions and deceptions created by Zhan En using his spiritual body to launch an attack on Elise. Now it seems, the effect is remarkable. Although Elise has not completely fallen yet, the seed has already been sown, next just need to quietly wait for it to take root and sprout.

  But now for Zhan En, compared to Iris, those supplies were even more tempting.

  "Stop."

  As the crowd turned another corner, Jenn made a gesture for the others to stop in their tracks. He narrowed his eyes and gazed into the depths of the cave. This time, Jenn didn't join forces with the gray dwarves, but instead brought only Enova, Vilna, and Elise, plus his own deformed legion, to stir up trouble for humans. Although they were vastly outnumbered by their opponents, this wasn't a major issue for Jenn.

  Long before that, Zhan En had already sent out the Aliens to search and investigate. Now, with the help of the spiritual connection between the Aliens, he had a general idea of the opponent's supply point. This stronghold was located in an abandoned large mine not far from the Blackstone Abyss, guarded by more than 50 well-equipped guards. In addition to warriors and thieves, Zhan En also discovered the traces of spellcasters. Judging from the emblem brought back by Elyse earlier, these spellcasters should be priests, but it was unknown which god they worshipped or what they wanted to do in the underground.

  If they were ordinary adventurers, it wouldn't be strange to have one or two priests, but these people are well-armed and obviously belong to the same organization, so their actions seem a bit suspicious.

  Not only that, but according to the reconnaissance of the aliens, Zhan also discovered a very strange feature, which is that these humans are very particular about the construction of supply depots. Not only have they added defensive buildings, but there is even an expanding trend. This doesn't look like they're just passing through the dark region for a short time, but rather gives people the feeling that they want to stay here for a long time. This looks somewhat unusual, or in other words, it smells like there's something fishy going on.

  At this thought, a cold glint flashed in Zhan En's eyes.

  But anyway, since you're here, don't think about leaving.
