Chapter 389 - Flame Obsidian (2/2)
“What happened to Beelzebub that he would abruptly leave and leave behind a shell containing powerful magic power and so many eggs? And he hasn’t returned for so long…” Benia asked in puzzlement.
Roy shrugged. “Who knows? With how many years it has been, it’s useless to guess. It may even be just that he has forgotten. After all, to us, figures like Beelzebub are the true tycoons. The shell and insect eggs have immense magic power in our eyes and are a fortune. But to Beelzebub, they’re just insignificant relics, so he abandoned them…”
“I hope so!” Benia was no longer worried about it. “Then, let’s mine the flame obsidian here. Although the quality isn’t high, it’s still a specialty of the territory. We have to find something for those summoned demons to do anyway.”
Roy nodded and did not say anything else. The two of them left the ruins and returned to where Big Black was. Big Black had been waiting obediently. After seeing Roy and Benia return, it carried the two of them back to the surface.
As for the Red Sea Egg, it stayed underground for the time being. There were still many insect egg fossils that the Red Sea Egg had not digested. After some time, Roy should be able to use the Red Sea Egg again.
On the surface, Julia and Fat Tiger were waiting at the entrance of the cave. The earthquake earlier made Julia realize that something might have happened underground. If she had not noticed that it was the magic power pressure that Roy had released, she would have been burning with anxiety. Only after seeing Roy and Benia return safely did she heave a sigh of relief. But then she discovered the increase in Roy’s magic power and asked in surprise, “Darling, what happened? Why did your magic power suddenly… increase so much?! Also, your appearance changed…”
Thus, Roy told Julia what happened underground. When she heard that Roy and Benia had actually found the ruin of Demon King Beelzebub’s palace and found the empty shell that he left behind, even she was shocked.
Back then, Julia had followed Demon King Samael, and she had always been fighting alongside Samael. She had never seen Beelzebub, but she had heard the name of this very famous demon king in many worlds.
There were extremely few cases of demon kings cooperating. It seemed like everyone had the tacit understanding that a king would not see another one. Of course, a demon king like Lilith was an exception. This succubus queen seemed to have affairs with many demon kings…
Julia had never seen Beelzebub before, so she was very curious about his appearance. Unfortunately, the shell had already been absorbed, and she could only imagine it through Benia’s description and Roy’s current appearance.
Someone else had once occupied this territory, which made Roy feel a little regretful. But think about it. The Abyss had given birth to many demon lords over the years, and the probability that others had not occupied the fragment world here was too low. It was impossible to find a completely untouched territory unless he spent a lot of time and patience searching one by one. In comparison, likely only Beelzebub had occupied this territory thousands of years ago, which was already very good.
At least, there were still many things in this territory…
Now, the next step was how to develop the territory. In addition, Roy planned to gradually try to come into contact with other demon lords…
