"How was it? How was it?"
"Um……"
"..."
Amidst Satan Ye's expectant gaze and Sirina's inquisitive look, Yinla returned from the lava lake, saying, "The fishing buddy's unexpected enthusiasm... it seems that whether it's the Prime Material Plane or Hell, it's the same in this respect."
Yes, although it's unclear whether you can actually fish in the lava lake, those seasoned fishing veterans who took the bus to this remote, desolate place to fish did answer many of Yinla's questions, one after another.
They were speaking the common language, of course...
"I have a general understanding of the situation... Currently, Hell is in a state where all three demon gods have left, while the Demon Palace, which belongs to the three demon gods, continues to rule Hell."
As Yinla spoke, he pointed to the stone pillar over there and said, "Just as I thought, those creatures called 'Cat Carts' are a unique form of public transportation in Hell, and the 'Cat Carts' represent a certain evolutionary path of the demonic insects."
Upon hearing this, Satan Ye's eyes immediately lit up.
"So, do the cat carts need a very hot environment? Or do they have to be in hell to survive?"
The moment Satanye finished speaking, Sirina also thought of something. She said with some surprise, "To think we could get something like this! If that's the case... if we could have the [Cat Cart] running around like this in the monster-controlled area..."
Although Sirina came up with the idea a little later than Satan Ye, which surprised Ira, the logic was indeed sound.
Imagine a network of smooth, paved roads connecting all the territories. The fast-moving cat carts could travel from one territory to another in just half an hour.
It only takes a fraction of the time it currently takes to travel from one part of the Demon King's territory to another.
When the battle begins, hundreds of cat cars will arrive at the edge of the battlefield at extremely high speed, and then the Demon King's army will gather from them in dense formation... In any war, the mobility of troops is always a valuable asset.
Even when used for trade, this absurd efficiency is enough to accumulate wealth rapidly.
"I've asked about that too. The cats don't have any requirements for the environment, and they even have very little need for food. It's hard to imagine the energy consumption that comes with such speed. They only need to eat two or three small fish a day to be satisfied."
As Yinla said this, no matter how you look at it, it's the perfect "bus". He smiled and said, "The only problem is that there can't be any obstacles on the Catbus's route. They don't have the ability to avoid obstacles, and if the road surface is bumpy, it will affect the speed."
Despite saying this, all three knew that for the Demon King's territory, which controlled things like cement, such restrictions were practically nonexistent.
"So, how do we get the cat cart?"
As Satan Ye spoke, she looked at the bulging package in Yinla's arms and said, "Mr. Yinla, you didn't already guess, did you? That's why you brought gold coins to buy it?"
Of course not.
"Haha~ This is what I was thinking of buying the underground Demon King's castle... After all, we have a lot of money now. If the demons living in that castle are willing to accept trade, then it's best not to cause any trouble."
Yinla chuckled and rubbed Satan Leaf's head, saying, "I've also found out the location of the Underground Demon King's Castle... As for the [Cat Cart] issue, we'll have to try asking the Blood Pool (Demon Pool) craftsmen."
The so-called "blood pool" refers to the kind of blood pool in the Demon King's territory that produces demonic insects that transform into lesser demons—the "demon blood pool." However, there is not only one type of blood pool; there are many other types that can transform demonic insects into many different forms.
For example, the [Beast Blood Pool] that Ira just learned about, which can turn demonic insects into cat carts, is one of them. The final evolutionary forms of demonic insects from this blood pool are monsters such as [cat carts], [Cerberus (Cerberus)], and [Fenrir].
As Yinla was saying this, a huge cat-shaped cart appeared in the distance from the bone pillar where the three of them were standing, and ran towards them... Yinla pointed at it and said, "Let's go, let's get on the cart and go find the Blood Pool Craftsman."
Blood Pool Craftsmen are artisans who create and modify blood pools, guiding the magical insects within them along fixed production routes... In other words, this can be solved with gold coins.
The Demon King's territory is currently not short of gold coins.
...
Sylvia: "Huh?"
Satan Leaf: "Hmm..."
As the two were struggling with their feelings and mentally preparing themselves for their first time riding in a cat-cart, the cat-cart with these black markings on its tail stopped and lay down in front of them... Then the carriage opened and the steps were lowered.
However, this time there was no sign of the demon getting off the bus; it was simply because the three of them were waiting there that it was assumed they were getting on.
Let's go.
Illa took the lead, while Sirina and Satan Ye, who were unaware of the situation, exchanged a glance and, seemingly worried that the two would be left behind, followed closely behind Illa.
Riding the catcart is quite different from riding the public flying vehicle in Yinla's previous life. There is no need for automatic deduction of credit points, nor is it necessary to use general equivalents as currency... because the operating cost of the catcar is very low.
"Clang, clang, clang~"
As the stairs behind them retracted and the doors closed, Sirina and Satanye watched as Illa, who seemed to know her way around, took her seat in the carriage, and they followed suit.
After a slight bump, the two men's gazes shifted to the layout of the carriage... It was like an extended carriage, with long seating areas on both sides.
To be honest, the two of them originally thought that it would be similar to the inside of a cat's belly, full of blood and intestines, but it wasn't like that at all. It was actually very ordinary... or rather, very comfortable.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.
The location here is probably considered quite remote even in Hell, so there weren't many other demons traveling together in the carriage. Those demons dressed in traditional Hellish clothing (suits) sat in the distance, resting with their eyes closed.
"Mr. Yinla, you seem to be quite skilled at this..."
Satan Ye spoke in a low voice, and Sirina nodded, casting a curious glance at him... Yinla's movements were indeed very practiced, not like something he had learned from talking to those fishing demons.
"Yes, I've seen something similar before."
Yinla said this.
"before?"
Sylina softly repeated Illa's words...
...
"Yes, before..."
As Yinla spoke, he looked out the window at the scenery rushing by, realizing that the inside of the cat carriage was unexpectedly smooth, without any feeling of being on the back of a living creature… He nodded, responding to their words—
"A long, long time ago."
