547: The treasure vault of Demon Abyss City! Steal the Demon Abyss Cannon blueprints!

"All of you, remember this clearly! Tomorrow at 8 AM, I am going to refine the demon abyss cannon! All materials must be prepared and organized for me. If you mess up the City Lord's important task, killing you will be considered a light punishment!"

Mo Lin gave the Demon Ox one last round of instructions before he left.

Only then did he look toward the refining furnace nearby, muttering to himself involuntarily: "After this batch of light weapons is finished, I will only have one task left!"

"Once I finish refining the demon abyss cannon tomorrow, I will have completed the City Lord's mission!"

"At that time, I must apply for a few Fox Demon Race Younger Sisters so we can have a good chat!"

Mo Lin muttered to himself while gently stroking the refining furnace, sensing the changes in the materials inside.

*Buzz!* Before long.

Mo Lin took out 100 metal cannon frames, shaped like crouching fierce tigers, from the refining furnace.

"Is this...? The cannon frame for the cannon I saw on top of the Demon Abyss City castle before?"

Su Lie looked at the cannon frame before him, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes: "This is the demon abyss cannon? It... isn't forged in one piece? Instead, it needs to be forged and assembled in batches?"

Thinking of this, he realized that staying by Mo Lin's side was useless.

Afterward, once Mo Lin had left.

He first used the immeasurable refining furnace Talent to project the rules of the immeasurable refining furnace onto Mo Lin's refining furnace.

The immeasurable refining furnace possessed six characteristics: Projection, Refining Power, Furnace Enhancement, Blueprint, Enlightenment, and Disguise.

Among them, Enlightenment required the support of Refining Power. Projection could project the rules onto any refining furnace.

This Talent could not only enhance the refining furnace but also obtain the furnace's blueprint library through the enhanced furnace and record it in Su Lie's treasure refining blueprint library.

At the same time, it could condense Refining Power, accumulating strength for Su Lie's rebirth.

This Talent originated from the Eerie Pillar, the Immeasurable Pharmacist Heavenly Venerate.

In this projection, Su Lie concealed the Furnace Enhancement rules and did not activate them.

After completion, Su Lie left Mo Lin's room.

He came to the underground refining area of Demon Abyss City and projected the rules of the immeasurable refining furnace onto every refining furnace there.

By the time he completed all this, it was already 12:30 AM.

Just as Su Lie was about to leave, he saw a Demon Bear walking out of a mine tunnel not far away, looking distraught.

A Rat Demon was following closely beside the Demon Bear.

The Rat Demon whispered: "My Lord! To ensure the smooth forging of the demon abyss cannon tomorrow! I suggest you quickly go to the City Lord and request the Demon Rainbow Ore Vein Orb! We only need to place one more orb, and it will be enough for tomorrow's use!"

"Damn it! You only tell me about such a huge matter now! What have you lot been doing?"

The Demon Bear growled angrily: "Don't you know that the City Lord is currently reveling? Going over there now is no different from seeking death!"

"My Lord! This isn't my fault! It was the Deputy Supervisor who spent all day feasting and playing, messing up the important task! Now, that fellow committed suicide out of fear of punishment, dumping this mess onto us! If we don't act today, we'll still die tomorrow!"

The Rat Demon said with grief and indignation: "How about this! I'll go with you! Dying today or dying tomorrow is still death, so why not get it over with tonight!"

Su Lie's eyes spun after hearing this: "Damn it! This meat delivered right to my mouth! Naturally, I have to eat it!"

He already knew from Master Craftsman Mo Lin that forging the demon abyss cannon required Demon Rainbow as the main material.

If he only stole the blueprint but had no materials, it would be a pointless theft. He might as well go all the way.

He might as well empty out Demon Abyss City before leaving.

Pondering this, he turned and followed the bear and the rat up to the castle on the surface.

Before long, Su Lie saw the Demon Abyss City Lord in the main hall on the third floor of the castle.

This was a red-skinned Abyss Demon General. It had a pair of curved ox horns, a long string of spikes growing on its back, and dense scriptures tattooed across its body.

It possessed a pair of golden pupils laced with bloody threads.

Moreover, this was a Level 140 Abyssal Demon God comparable to a Third-Turn Professional.

It was currently holding an unrestrained party.

After seeing the Demon Bear and the Rat Demon, City Lord Kurada realized something was wrong below, so he took the two demonic creatures to a side hall of the palace.

After understanding the whole story, Kurada's eyes narrowed.

*Pfft! Pfft!* In an instant, two invisible blade energies were released, severing one hand each from the Rat Demon and the Demon Bear.

"Trash! Garbage!" Kurada cursed under his breath: "Under my rule, such trash actually appeared among you, and you were all covering for him, playing nice! Now that you can't hide it anymore, you come to report! You are all goddamn trash!"

"If it weren't for the demon abyss cannon this time, the two of you would certainly die!"

... After a round of lecturing, Kurada took out a key and handed it to a nearby attendant: "Pill! Take them to the treasury and fetch a Demon Rainbow Ore Vein Orb! Remember to get the God-tier one!"

"Yes, Master!" The attendant Pill said respectfully.

Afterward, Kurada turned and returned to the main hall to continue singing, dancing, and having fun.

Pill, leading the Demon Bear and the Rat Demon, walked through a small door on the other side and entered a secret passage within the castle.

The secret passage was winding and contained various detection spells.

Abyss Axe Guards were also stationed here on duty.

Coming down from above, even Kurada's confidant Pill still needed to pass through twelve layers of checkpoints and twenty-four identity verifications.

Su Lie silently followed behind the three demons.

Soon, Pill led the Demon Bear and Rat Demon to a room at the very end.

In one-third of this room, a crimson spatial sphere, approximately 30 meters in diameter, was suspended.

The surface of the sphere was covered with layer upon layer of formations.

Looking from the outside, one could see magnificent waves and swirling mist inside. It was as if the object nearby was not a space, but a planet.

Su Lie looked at the scene before him in surprise; it was the first time he had seen such a spatial treasure.

Pill turned his head and instructed the Demon Bear and the Rat Demon: "Wait here for a moment!"

With that, he took the key and walked directly toward the light sphere. *Buzz!*

In the blink of an eye, Pill vanished inside the light sphere.

Su Lie then realized that the key given by the Demon Abyss City Lord was not a "key," but a token for entering this special space.

Seeing this, Su Lie used the rules of the invisibility ring and walked into the sphere.

When he silently submerged into the sphere, he appeared in a dim environment of a sea of lava and fire.

This place was filled with massive amounts of Abyssal Demonic Qi.

Pill was holding the key, standing near a shelf in the entrance area of this space, searching for something.

He quickly found the Demon Rainbow Ore Vein Sphere, took out an Ore Vein Orb from it, and then cautiously retreated toward the outside.

*Buzz!* After a fluctuation passed through the space, Pill vanished from the area.

After giving the Ore Vein Orb to the Demon Bear, he asked if it met their needs, and only after receiving an affirmative answer did he lead the two demonic creatures away.

Su Lie, however, remained in this storage space.

He flew into the air and looked at the area. This was an Abyssal environment about three kilometers in diameter.

Aside from a long corridor at the entrance leading to the light sphere's membrane wall, the rest of the area was sunken deep into the sea of lava and fire.

There were a total of 120 shelves along the corridor.

The first shelf stored Ore Spheres.

A total of 8 types of resources were stored here.

They were Demon Rainbow Iron Ore, ordinary Stone, ordinary iron ore, ordinary elemental ore, Underground Jungle Sphere, Level 2 Water Vein, Obsidian Demon Stone Ore, and monster crystal Ore.

Among them, the three mineral resources—Demon Rainbow Iron Ore, Obsidian Demon Stone Ore, and monster crystal Ore—were of god-tier quality, while the rest were of ordinary quality.

The Level 2 Water Vein resource was Purple Epic quality, and there were only 32 of them at minimum.

Besides this, the subsequent shelves stored various rations for the Demon Race soldiers.

There were flesh and blood rations, grain unique to the Abyss Demon Race, and food resources like special soil, stone, and wood.

There were about 2,748 different types of food.

Further back were six types of battle armor used by Demon Abyss City: Vine Armor, wood Armor, Iron Armor, Gold Armor, Silver Armor, and Demon Rainbow Armor.

There were also various weapons, as well as massive amounts of different types of magical projectiles needed for catapults, various arrows needed for bows and crossbows, chevaux de frise, war chariots, beast armor, and so on, all stockpiled in numerous storage rings.

At the very back were the inventories of three types of resources.

Among these resources, aside from minerals, basic resources, and water veins, all others were resources suitable for use by the Demon Race.

Further back was the towering sea of lava and fire, filled with demonic flames.

In the sea of fire, there was an altar occupying half of the area.

Six stone pillars stood beside the altar.

Each stone pillar held an item.

They were the demon abyss cannon Refining Blueprint, the annihilation demon orb, the Rule War Armor—War Demon God Armor, the Rule Divine Artifact—Phoenix Heaven Halberd, 1 Abyssal Demon King Summoning Edict, and 1 Abyss Gate Summoning Edict.

After Su Lie collected these resources one by one, he quickly looked at the demon abyss cannon Refining Blueprint: "I didn't expect the City Lord's treasury to actually have the resources I need!"

"If I had known this earlier, wouldn't it have been easier to just come straight to the City Lord!"

As he spoke, Su Lie looked at the blueprint.

[demon abyss cannon Fusion Refining Blueprint: Red God-level Quality; Rule Heavy Weapon Refining Blueprint.

Materials required for Fusion Refining: 1 million units of Demon Rainbow Iron, 1 million units of Obsidian Demon Crystal, 1 million units of monster crystal, 10 million units of Level 10 monster crystal, 100 years of Lifespan;

Fusion Refining Requirement 1: Abyssal Demonic Fire;

Fusion Refining Requirement 2: The Demonic Qi contained in the Demon Rainbow Iron and Obsidian Demon Crystal must reach a quantity of 108 grams.

Fusion Refining Requirement 3: The Demon Rainbow Iron and Obsidian Demon Crystal need to undergo secondary tempering and be refined into Demon Rainbow Adamantine Iron and Obsidian Abyssal Demon Crystal.

Fusion Refining Requirement 4: The demon abyss cannon Refining Blueprint needs to be supplemented by the Demon Rainbow Cannon Frame Refining Blueprint, the Obsidian Cannon Barrel Refining Blueprint, and the monster crystal Energy Storage Module Refining Blueprint, refining the three materials into components.

Refining Steps: After assembling the materials, place the assembled demon abyss cannon into the refining furnace for secondary melting, and sequentially add the required Demon Rainbow Iron, Obsidian Demon Crystal, monster crystal, monster crystal, and Lifespan to refine one demon abyss cannon.

Note: This cannon is an assembly item; the final Fusion Treasure Refining step can be performed using this blueprint.

Note: This blueprint is a copied blueprint, usable 1 time.]

Su Lie sighed upon seeing this: "It seems... if I want to obtain all the refining blueprints for the demon abyss cannon, I must make Mo Lin perform Treasure Refining again!"

Realizing this, Su Lie did not touch anything inside.

He silently withdrew from the treasury.

After returning outside, Su Lie wandered around the castle.

He discovered that besides the one demon abyss cannon he had seen, there were thirty-two more demon abyss cannons inside the City Lord's castle.

These cannons were all hidden inside the castle, had already stored large amounts of monster crystals, and were aimed at the front, left, right, and rear directions of Demon Abyss City.

"No wonder I was assigned to come here! The defenses here are so strict. If I didn't have the Invisibility Rule, forget about entering, even getting close would be a problem! Unless I could wipe out this entire area in one go!"

Su Lie retreated underground while thinking: "Why did General Command believe I could definitely complete this mission? Could the Commander who assigned me the task really be a Werewolf?"

"If that's truly the case!" "Then the City Lord's side should have made some arrangements!"

"But along the way, why haven't I seen a single person?" "..."

*Clatter!* Su Lie suddenly stopped. His eyelid twitched, and he thought of a possibility: "Could it be Li Fengxian? I came in through Clear Wind, he definitely knows what I need right now!"

"Would Clear Wind arrange for Li Fengxian to help me?"

There was no need to guess this question. Su Lie's heart stirred slightly, and he was about to open the mist manual to ask.

[*Buzz!*] [You are currently inside the Jianxu Trial Mystic Realm, and the mist manual permissions are sealed! Please use this permission after leaving!]

"Hmph! Forget it!"

Although Su Lie really wanted to ask his contact person, Bai Yu, he dismissed the idea when he considered that there might be a Werewolf on the General Command side.

After returning to the underground refining furnace area, Su Lie found the various materials for smelting the demon abyss cannon.

He tampered slightly with some of these materials and the fusion materials for refining the demon abyss cannon, and then silently returned to Mo Lin's room.

Time passed bit by bit. When it was around 7 AM the next morning.

Mo Lin, who was inspecting the various materials and components, looked horrified at the problematic materials before him and roared furiously: "Who! Who the hell is interfering with my mission! This isn't just delaying the refining progress of the demon abyss cannon, this is seeking death!"

"Damn it! A bunch of blind idiots who can't recognize reality!"

As he spoke, he violently whipped the Demon Ox craftsman and the other craftsmen in the forging area.

After he finished venting, Mo Lin shouted exasperatedly: "Fortunately, I kept a backup plan, or else I would have fallen for your tricks, you sons of bitches!"

After speaking, he chased all the craftsmen out of his room.

Subsequently, Mo Lin transferred a batch of materials and began refining anew.

During the Treasure Refining process, his anger subsided considerably, and he couldn't help but secretly warn himself: "Fortunately, these damned bastards only damaged a small amount of material, otherwise today would have been terrible!"

"Damn it!" "No matter what your purpose is!"

"After this time, I will never leak the refining techniques for the demon abyss cannon and related technologies again!"

"These damned fools! You have provoked a major figure you shouldn't have provoked!" "I'm going to make sure none of you have a job!"

... At this moment, in the main hall of the General Command Headquarters of the Punishment Hall in the Jianxu Secret Realm.

Seven Kills Shi found Li Fengxian, and she frowned as she asked him: "Holy crap! Fengxian! Did you secretly communicate with Su Lie?"
