Chapter 100: Bargaining 2
Although it is said to be a chaotic plane, in fact, complete chaos is impossible, no matter how a demon is a creature in the lower plane, it is also a kind of creature after all, and the higher the level of demon intelligence, the higher it is, the more it can resist the chaotic fluctuations of the endless abyss's natural celestial phenomena.
The endless bloody battle between the Endless Abyss and the Ninefold Purgatory is not so much a conscious act as a subconscious spontaneity.
Among the nine layers of purgatory, at least five of them have been captured by the Abyss Demon Legion, and although they all came back, those five great victories still brought huge benefits to many Abyss Lords.
For the abyss demons who are so poor that they only have one life left, no matter what they fight, they will at least have a chance to loot when they fight the Nine Layers of Purgatory, and even if they don't fight, the abyss demons themselves will consume and devour each other.
Of course, in addition to this, there are probably reasons for the natural opposition between chaos and order, all in all, the death match between the two sides will probably continue endlessly, as long as the abyss and purgatory still exist.
Teleported to the middle of a large desert, after experiencing the calamities of filth, fog, needle rain, dimensional storms, and other disasters, the group of six people spent a month and finally arrived in Broken City, a town that served as a meeting point for bloody mercenaries, a transit point for travelers crazy enough to explore the Endless Abyss, and a place of trade.
The most bizarre thing is that the city belongs neither to the devil nor to the devil, and belongs to the "neutral" city in the war.
"Phew, we've finally found a place to stay, let's take a break, and then we'll plan what to do next. "Because of the unimaginably harsh climate of the lower plane, even Shi Yinghu, who is the most adaptable, has an earthy face, and Rose, who is the weakest in physique, has only one breath left, and he can only continue to travel by being supported by Amanda.
The Endless Abyss is also a difficult subject for a senior travel mage, and Ross is actually a little enthusiastic about taking the plunge this time, of course, if he survives, he can also get huge benefits.
After resting for two days, Shi Yinghu and Ain walked out of the hotel and went to the slave market to look for war slaves.
As long as there is enough money, even human archmages can be bought in the slave market of the lower planes, and they are often cheated when they sign some kind of agreement with the devil, and then have to serve the devil or the devil for hundreds of years.
Of course, such slaves are still relatively rare and expensive, and Shi Yinghu and Ain don't have a lot of soul crystals in their hands now, of course, they can only buy the ones that are relatively most suitable.
"If it's in the material realm, ordinary legions have little meaning for the upper legends, but it's different in the lower planes, many legions are generally second and third order, once they are surrounded and don't deal with it properly, the legend will also die. ”
"This is natural, whether it is the Demon Legion or the Demon Legion, they are all equal to the Heavenly Realm or the Dragon Legion, and their imaginary enemies do not even include mortals, Ain, you are very bullying in this comparison. ”
If it is a scientific and technological plane that benefits the whole people, the big army fights, and mortals may be able to knock head-on with the demon army and the devil army, but if it is an individual evolutionary civilization, then saving the world can really only rely on the so-called "heroes", because ordinary civilians are not qualified to wave their flags and cheer on the sidelines.
In the case of cold weapon warfare, those top elites in the human world who are armed to the teeth are probably at the level of ordinary soldiers in the abyss and purgatory, which is determined by the different laws of the world plane.
............
Coming to the slave market, it is obvious that its business is extremely hot, Shi Yinghu and Ain have a total of less than two thousand souls, and this money can hire a mercenary team composed of ten high-level devils, who will serve their employers for at least twenty years, or hire a powerful mercenary army composed of three hundred middle-level devils, with such a legion, it is easy to defeat a city-state in a low-level civilization material world!
"My lord, the demon slaves on my side are strong and obedient, and the three hundred first-rank demons only need eight thousand two hundred souls!"
"My lord, don't believe it, this guy is a well-known black-hearted businessman here, and its demons will turn against their masters, buy me, three hundred devils have served you for fifty years, and only five thousand souls. You should know that the devil is the most trustworthy. ”
Surrounded by ghosts and devils in all directions, it is impossible to be as standardized as the earth shopping mall after all, and there are many of them, and these guys even gradually make it difficult for Shi Yinghu and Ain to walk.
"Get out!" frowning slightly, Shi Yinghu glanced around and whispered. An invisible wave spread, and all around, whether it was a ghost woman, a devil, or a demon, all retreated.
"This feeling is far more than that of the Great Demon, isn't it? Is it the Demon King?"
"When did Broken City come to such a ruthless character......
"I should have just arrived, and although the woman beside him had traces of purgatory, she had not yet been completely transformed. ”
"It's not an ability, it's just a magic power that can achieve an almost magical ability, how strong is its body?"
"Don't look at it, at least we can't afford to mess with it. ”
Proper display of strength is more conducive to walking and surviving in the lower plane. After no one stopped them, Shi Yinghu and Ain had room to choose war slaves.
After all, you need to have some money in your hand, so the upper limit of the two of you is about a thousand souls.
After a morning of shopping, Shi Yinghu and Ain had almost toured the entire slave market, and in the end, both of them took a fancy to a large group of monsters bound in the enchantment, with red-black scales, curved sharp horns, glowing red eyes, and even bat-like wings.
"My lord, these, these demons of purgatory, five hundred, as long as you have twelve hundred souls. ”
In the enchantment, there are Upper Rank (Third Order) and Intermediate (Second Order) Infernal Demons, and they fight with each other and even devour their own kind, so there are quite a few Upper Rank Purgatory Demons left in the end, almost half of the five hundred.
"Let's say, what are the flaws of these Infernal Demons, 1,200 souls hire 500 mid-to-upper-level combat power, and there is a chance that the demon slaves who devour the Lord do not have this price. Say, what are the flaws on them?" Shi Yinghu's eyes were like torches, and after turning so many times, he already had a general understanding of the price, knowing this combat power and this price, these Purgatory Demons must have hidden flaws.
"Huh...... My lord, hehe, except for being a little stupid, these war slaves are cheap and easy to use, and there is almost no ......" Under Shi Yinghu's forced gaze, the succubus's voice became lower and lower, and finally gradually fell silent.
"These demons of purgatory are actually transformed by humans in the collapsing plane, because the obsession in their hearts generates resentment, because resentment absorbs the power of purgatory, causing the evil in their hearts to be constantly amplified, and even their body shapes have changed. They are mentally retarded and have a hard time surviving more than ten years. ”
Why is it that the slave contract of both the demon and the devil is signed for decades or hundreds of years? Because both the demon and the devil will advance, and even hire a team of high-level demons for twenty years, during which the other demons have died, and one of the demons has evolved into a legend, and under the bondage of the contract, it will theoretically continue to serve you until the end of the contract period.
In this way, the employer's side earns.
And the demon of purgatory, its existing strength is demonized, in a certain sense, the potential has been squeezed dry, such an existence still wants to be promoted to a legend, the possibility is very low, coupled with low intelligence, even if there is a contract, it is difficult to implement it to the end, therefore, the employment price is much lower than the value of its combat power.
In fact, the latter is the core reason why they are not so easy to hire.
"With so many flaws, six hundred souls is already a very suitable price. ”
"My lord, no, six hundred souls hire five hundred mid-to-upper-level combat power, you might as well grab it directly. Shi Yinghu bargained and directly cut half of it, and the succubus shook directly.
"One thousand, that's the lowest price I've ever had. ”
"Eight hundred, if you lock them here, they will kill each other, and in two days they will kill themselves, and you won't be able to earn a single blood coin. ”
"It's not that you can't earn blood coins, next to it is a meat processing shop, eight hundred souls, I will sell them all to the processing shop, and I won't break the rules like this." ”
In the end, Shi Yinghu finally took away five hundred purgatory demons at the cost of nine hundred and sixty souls, the demons of purgatory are just mentally retarded and obsessed, but they are not really crazy, Shi Yinghu feels that he is using them as cannon fodder anyway, with the blunt blade of the fire bone dragon demon sword, he is not worried about these guys being undisciplined, as for the shortcomings such as ten years of life, difficult to promote, etc., it is not a shortcoming in his own place, the legendary assistant has enough around him, there is no need to continue to expand the number of his subordinates in the lower plane.
A few days later, the legendary team with complete maps, equipment, and supplies left Broken Domain City with 500 Infernal Demons and entered the bloody battlefield, like a drop of water smashed into the calm lake, although it disappeared in an instant, but the ripples it caused spread far and wide.
Abyssal Worm (the original form of the soul in Purgatory or Abyss), because of the existence of the Abyss Worm, mainstream scholars firmly believe that although the Endless Abyss and the Ninefold Purgatory are different and opposite to each other, they actually originate from the lower plane.
Worms are the lowest level of demons and demons, and after devouring enough flesh and blood, some of them will evolve and become inferior demons/demon boys, no matter what the name is, they are just the cheapest cannon fodder anyway, and from the first order, they will really enter the evolution list of demons/demons, until they open endless life, or die.
