When Tuck regained his senses, he found Hilor looking at him with a strange expression.
"Hehe... Sorry, I was thinking!"
Tuck laughed to cover his embarrassment.
"I'm curious, what were you thinking about just now?"
"Thinking about... what you just said."
"What did I say?"
"The second level of the Demon King's Tomb seems a bit odd."
"Odd, is it?"
"Yes, that Demon King was clearly going to die in there, so why dig another hole inside to bury himself? Was he dissatisfied with not being buried deeply enough?"
"The Demon Sequence and its... ecology!"
Hilor's words made Tuck genuinely start to think.
It was a while later that Tuck finally responded.
"The Demon King intended to use his own demon power to breed a blank inheritance of the Demon's Sequence Tree on the second level, and thus give birth to a new Demon King?"
"Yes, so this time we enter, we'll only explore the first layer and not disturb the second layer."
