Dungeon 9, Central Castle.
Ding Ning and Hua stood together. After a few days' rest, she was already in much better shape.
Although she hadn't fully recovered, at least if she met other lords now, they wouldn't notice anything off.
After several days, she stepped out of the castle and came to the entrance of the passage.
A few lords were still working hard to clear the trees from the passage. Besides them, there were several powerful subordinates helping out.
The Dark Forest spread quickly, and even with everyone cleaning together, progress was still slow.
Having another lord didn't help much with speeding things up, but even evil spirits didn't want to see someone else idly sitting by, reaping easy gains.
They truly wanted to get out—on the other side was unclaimed territory, and getting out earlier meant occupying a bigger slice.
Sure, they could clear the Dark Forest later, but why go through extra trouble when you could grab something easily?
