Perhaps to prevent the human demons from attacking from underground, the cliff above the fortress was only dozens of meters tall. The foundation below was actually 50 to 60 meters deep!

Lin Yan simply went nearly a hundred meters underground. He circled around the foundation and followed his intuition to approach Cheng Yu’er from underground.

The fortress was not small. Lin Yan kept moving forward. Just as he was halfway there, he suddenly felt his surroundings lighten. His upper body had suddenly emerged from the ground!

This place was clearly nearly a hundred meters underground, but his upper body had entered a hollow area. The surroundings were pitch-black, as if a piece of soil had suddenly been hollowed out.

Lin Yan opened his palm, and the Sun Burning True Flame lit up. When he saw his surroundings clearly, he hurriedly restrained himself and almost lit up a thick plant root.

This cavity was not empty. There was a dark gray, slightly shriveled vine root stuck to the wall of the cavity. Both ends pierced into the rock wall, and it was unknown how long and deep it was.

“The shape of the surrounding hollow rock wall looks like this tree root…”

Originally, it should not have been small. It was as thick as a person’s arm. However, the surface was shriveled and dark. A large portion of it had contracted, causing this hollow cavity to appear.

This root was really huge, and it was a hundred meters underground. He did not know what tree it was or what size its main body was.

Lin Yan continued forward. Not long after, he encountered another similar tree root.

However, this time, the tree root did not shrink. It was full and there seemed to be green fluorescence flowing on it, as if it was breathing. Something was nurturing inside.

Next, Lin Yan realized that he seemed to have entered a world of tree roots. Countless thick or thin huge tree roots coiled and intertwined in the underground world, condensing into a large ball that almost squeezed out the soil space.

Some of these roots were like the previous one. They were shriveled, lackluster, and very dim.

However, some tree roots emitted a strong green fluorescence. It was as if there was a living creature jumping around, wanting to break through the tree roots and crawl out.

There were too many tree roots entangling him. Lin Yan almost couldn’t pass through them, so he simply sank down again. When he reached the limit of 200 to 300 meters underground, he realized that these tree roots were still there.

Since it was difficult to walk underground, Lin Yan decided to go up.

The strange thing was that the closer a normal tree root was to the surface, the more severely it intertwined.

However, these tree roots were the opposite. The closer they were to the ground, the more distinct they were. They were like the bones of an open umbrella that fanned out in all directions.

As the height increased, the green light on the surface of the tree roots also converged, turning into a green root skin. Every one of them looked similar.

Instead, the surroundings became more spacious.

After reaching a depth of about ten meters, the space around the tree trunk was already large enough. It was as if he was shuttling through a dense forest. Lin Yan continued to sneak towards Cheng Yu’er.

Soon, he arrived directly below Cheng Yu’er.

As the ceiling was covered by tiles, Lin Yan turned around and silently floated up from the ground not far from the side.

There was a medium-sized bamboo forest on both sides. A little girl around ten years old was wearing a maid uniform. She was waving a small hoe and digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

Behind her stood a sharp-faced man with a mean face. He was wearing silk clothes, but he did not look rich. Instead, he looked like a monkey. He held the basket in his hand and waited impatiently.

When Lin Yan floated up, although he was invisible, he happened to float out from between the little girl and this person. He saw that the soil was like a mouth that opened and closed again. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. “The Earth Worm is here! Oh my supreme-ruler! The Earth Worm! The Earth Worm!”

He screamed loudly on the spot, threw the basket away, and ran far away.

The little girl digging bamboo shoots turned around in a daze. At this moment, the hole that Lin Yan had crawled out of had already healed. She suddenly looked flustered. She did not escape immediately. She quickly went up to dig and heaved a sigh of relief. “There are no Earth Worms! There are no Earth Worms!”

Lin Yan silently walked out of the small bamboo forest. Outside was actually a plantation. Other than this small bamboo forest, there were many open plots of land growing flowers, fruits, trees, and various other plants. Someone was taking care of them.

However, just now, when the man in luxurious clothes ran out, he alarmed a group of people, causing everyone in every district to come out to take a look. When they saw the man in luxurious clothes, their expressions became flustered.

“Earth Worm? Isn’t there still a month left? Why are there Earth Worms?”

“That’s right! The Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit will ripen in at least a month. The Earth Worm must still be sleeping underground at this time!”

“What should we do? Prince Jing hates Earth Worms the most. He even wants to destroy things that have been touched by Earth Worms…”

“Please don’t let it be true…”

Lin Yan only listened to a few sentences and understood a lot of information. These people seemed to be planting vegetables and fruits for a big shot called Prince Jing.

There was also the Flower-Picking Orchid Jade Fruit. It seemed to be an extremely precious treasure that would only be produced once every three years. It would attract a monster called the Earth Worm that lived underground.

This had nothing to do with Lin Yan. He originally wanted to head out, but a group of armored guards quickly ran over..
