The key point is that the demon merchants were completely unaware of this.
They were completely unprepared for the succubi before the war even began.
If you get seduced, you're doomed.
It's said that businessmen are shrewd and cunning, but not all of them are.
It should be said that most people were unprepared to guard against advanced succubi.
Succubi operate exclusively on "Succubus Street" in any city, their lives revolving around their daily meal; they are virtually nonexistent in other areas.
In important occasions, merchants will guard against [charm], but in daily life, demons generally don't deliberately guard against succubi.
The main reason is that succubi generally don't have the habit of venturing outside to cause trouble, and this is true anywhere in the demon realm.
If they frequently abuse [Charm] in various places, then almost every demon will wear corresponding magical items to prevent themselves from being bewitched by succubi.
These are all results of mutual influence. Neither side expected that the ultimate beneficiary would be a succubus organization called "Nightmare".
It even caused chaos among the demon race.
The only place in the entire demon realm that hasn't descended into chaos is probably Nightmare Earl's City.
And with each trip, An Yi would upgrade a large number of succubi, gradually raising the rank of all the succubi with "100% loyalty" in the entire Nightmare.
An Yi and Milu have quite a few opportunities to travel back and forth, after all, both of them are quite agile, and An Yi's individual combat ability is also top-notch among the heroes.
Given their positions, it's normal for them to occasionally exchange intelligence.
This gave An Yi the opportunity to communicate and make contact with Nightmare.
It was precisely because they maintained "behind-the-scenes operations" that the development of the icebreaker proceeded so smoothly.
Just tell Nightmare what you need, and they'll arrange everything perfectly for you!
The heroes can find resources wherever they go, and Nightmare always knows what they want before they do, so how could things not go smoothly?
The development of the icebreaker is still ongoing, as is the exploration of the [Exploration Doll]. I've heard about it since some unknown day.
The Silver Moon Fortress Squad, also known as the Sword Hero Squad led by the Sword Hero, reached the next level cap by defeating the demons in the Marquis's City.
The next stage, not the next rank. 7
In other words, during the development of the icebreaker, they defeated the Marquis City demons, whose highest level was 27, reaching the level cap! 4
Taking advantage of the chaos of war, he led a group of brave warriors to a higher level.
Arrived at -6 by defeating a level 27 demon.
The level cap is 780! (9)
Before the Saintess Squad's level was even adjusted, the Silvermoon Fortress war zone had already completed its combat output, allowing a large number of level 780 heroes to support different war zones.
A new wave of upgrades is expected in the near future! 7
This situation is inevitable; for every person who stagnates, someone else continues to move forward. 8
The Saintess Squad has indeed been leading the way, but that doesn't mean the other heroes can't move forward without their leadership.
This is good news for all the heroes, and also good news for the Saintess Squad.
Because once the icebreaker here is successfully developed, more advanced warriors can be deployed to use it immediately.
The Saintess Squad can also quickly reach the level cap by taking advantage of the raiding environment created by other heroes.
In other words, the stagnation caused by the Saintess Squad's efforts here will eventually lead to them catching up with the other heroes after they achieve success here.
In any case, they will benefit.
However, during the development of the third-generation icebreaker, another piece of news reached the ears of the heroes in charge of the development.
A huge underground heat source has been discovered in the White Sea!
The heat emanating from this underground heat source has turned a large area of permafrost into an ice lake, and the entire ice lake is constantly boiling. It's unimaginable what might be buried underground.
It's as if a sun has been submerged beneath this icy lake!
The news caused an immediate sensation among those involved in Project White Sea.
This……
Isn't this exactly the kind of material they want that can generate a lot of heat?!
"No, it doesn't necessarily have to be materials."
In the conference room, An Yi denied it;
"It could be an underground volcano, or it could be some dangerous fire-attribute demon."
It could also be... a powerful fire-attribute being sealed within the snow-capped mountains.
“But whatever it is, shouldn’t we go and find out?” said one of the heroes.
"That's right! What if it's exactly what we want?"
At that moment, Irene's voice appeared in Annie's ear;
"Should I go and check it out?" Her voice was tinged with amusement.
She wasn't in the meeting room, but the sounds from inside would be transmitted to her through the "wind".
With the existence of the [Formless] and the fact that they were going to a frozen land where almost no demons were active, Irene was also somewhat eager to try.
Before An Yi could answer, Irene's voice came again;
"Just kidding, just kidding, you guys can discuss it yourselves."
Inside the meeting room, Lycorina spoke.
"Please be patient, everyone. Whatever it is, it is beyond our current ability to explore."
Have you forgotten what our mission is?
What we need to do now is to apply all the materials and data we have to the third-generation icebreaker.
If we are destined to have this opportunity, then we will not let it slip away.
If we miss it before we're ready, then it's not meant to be, and there's no need to force it.
Lycorina knew perfectly well that what everyone needed to do now was to build an "icebreaker" that could enter the White Sea.
When she heard about the "huge heat source" just now, she was actually a little tempted.
But after hearing An Yi's words, she suddenly realized the truth.
Exploring that so-called "giant heat source" without adequate preparation is a huge gamble!
Lycorina has gambled her life countless times with An Yi in the past two years, but most of the time it happened when the timing was perfect.
It's time to act immediately and seize the opportunity.
But it's different now.
That enormous heat source never belonged to the heroes from the beginning.
Everything they have accumulated so far is unrelated to that enormous heat source.
In other words, they only need to continue at their current pace to achieve results.
Then why gamble?
Just as An Yi said, what if it's just a volcano under the ice and snow, or a powerful fire-type demon, and not the fire-type magic stone mine they really need? Wouldn't the exploration be pointless?
Many heroes are currently busy leveling up, and they are also busy developing icebreakers.
When faced with an operation that may or may not be an accident, it is perfectly acceptable to be well-prepared before proceeding.
Therefore, under Lycorina's decision, everything continued according to the usual schedule.
That night.
After a busy day, An Yi returned to her room and hung her coat on the coat rack next to her.
The research and development of transportation tools and equipment is not as simple as imagined. It is not like in the movies, where a scientist can invent everything by shaking a glass bottle in an office.
To be honest, it's much more complicated than I imagined.
An Yi wanted to lie down and rest.
Suddenly, he smelled a burnt smell in the air.
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit room, he saw sparks burning on the table.
The sparks burned on the tabletop, moving along a certain trajectory; these slight elemental fluctuations were not even as significant as An Yi lighting a match in the room.
Soon, a mark resembling a burning feather appeared on the table.
"This is……?!"
Even An Yi couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
The surface of the desktop was outlined by Mars;
It was clearly the emblem representing the Phoenix!
He immediately came to his senses—
"What's sealed beneath the permafrost is Phoenix!"
Volume 3: 9 Chapter 657 143 【Eight Undying Fire Feathers (★Legend)】4 (4k) ≮～3ˇ§〇.·◇
An Yi casually shaved off the mark, and with a thought, burned all the wood chips into ashes.
Without a doubt, this must be a hint from the little devil.
An Yi has not seen the Little Demon King since the first day of the second year.
The reason why the other party suddenly gave me a hint is naturally not worth speculating about.
She wanted to kill Phoenix.
It relies on human capabilities.
How to kill him depends on how An Yi uses this information.
What we know now is that the Little Demon King must have seen all of the Chaotic Demons' activities over the years, including the current chaos among the demons.
All the Little Demon King did was provide a tiny, insignificant aura to deceive the Demon King's domain, allowing An Yi to become a "demon."
