The lich offered Sistemm a number of temptations, such as the fact that if he became a servant of the other party, he would gain great power and have a near-eternal lifespan like the lich.

But for these, Syst directly chose to ignore them, and then cut off the spiritual connection with the other party.

Although the lich's conditions are good, if he becomes a servant of the other party, he will not put his life and death in the hands of the other party.

Perhaps the Lich's temptation will work on other creatures of the Abyss who don't have a high IQ, but it won't fool Sistem.

He rubbed his head with his tentacles again, and because of the lich's summoning, Sistum's spirit became much more tired again, and his mind even felt some swelling pain.

As soon as Systham decided to return to the underground, he went to rest.

And just as Syst and Shava continued to carry the corpse of the black giant snake, the shadow and the ball of flesh that had gone out to hunt finally appeared.

The ball of flesh took the form of a spider with thick limbs nearly three meters in size, and it used its sturdy spider silk to drag the corpse of a huge toad nearly two meters tall from the mire.

The skin of the toad has many wounds, and it seems that there was a fierce battle before his death, and the reason why Fleshball and Shadow have been hunting for so long should be because they encountered this huge abyssal toad.

With the help of a strong ball of flesh, the carcass of the black serpent in Sistemm was also carried out, and it didn't take long for the two corpses to be transported underground.

Heatham also entered a half-asleep state unique to insects as he wished, and began to regain his energy......

……

……

Seven days passed.

Due to the presence of the excavator, the abyssal lair of Systm has been excavated to form a circular area with a diameter of twenty meters, thirty meters deep, and contains empty chambers of various sizes and passages of different lengths.

Heatham is also becoming more and more satisfied with the construction of the excavator's underground nest.

However, unlike the lair that went smoothly, the opening of the Key to Shadows was skewed.

His ant people will have to wait a while before they can truly reach the abyss.

In the Overworld, the recharge time of the Black Gemstone Ring is half a month, while at this level of the Abyss, it takes a month and a half.

In other words, it would take another month for Sistem's ant people to come to the abyss from the half-plane.

It's not that the Black Jewel Ring's recharge rate has slowed down.

According to Ola's explanation, the amount of energy required to open the half-plane will also vary depending on the plane it is in, so the Black Gemstone Ring needs to store more energy, resulting in a significantly longer recharge time.

Sistemm didn't suspect that Ola was lying to him, not to mention that if Ola lied, he could use [teleportation] to detect it, and Ora, who was extremely obsessed with treasure, might be even more anxious than System.

If the ants could return, Ola would have sent the ants to the abyss with gold and treasures.

……

And after these seven days, under some research and investigation with the shadow, Sistemm also basically deduced the reason for the surrender of the abyssal black snake.

It's like some carnivores in Heatham's previous life, Animal World, who used urine to divide their territory and assert the sovereignty of an area.

At this level of the abyss, abyssal creatures that have reached the magical level also possess this habit.

All abyssal beings who have reached the magical level will take the initiative to occupy their own territory.

They exude a unique aura at the borders of their territory, warning others not to set foot in the areas they rule.

The black giant snake that Sistm had encountered before was a magical life that ruled over a nearby 100-meter area.

Because Sistemm had just become an abyssal being, he didn't know much about the abyssal aura, so naturally he didn't find the warning aura emitted by the giant snake in the air.

That's why he was attacked and was forced to kill the black giant snake.

As for the black snake that submitted to Sistem, it was originally the subordinate ruled by the black serpent, so after the serpent was killed, the black snake naturally expressed his submission to him.

And the giant toad that Shadow and Meat Ball killed before was also a magical life, with a territory of more than 100 meters.

Not only that, but in the past seven days, after exploring the surrounding environment, Systum and Shava have killed a two-meter-long lizard and another purple-black snake one after another.

They are also magical beings in this layer of the abyss.

It was also after killing these abyssal creatures with strong territorial consciousness that Syst gradually discovered the territorial consciousness of abyssal creatures.

For the magical life at this level of the abyss, it is generally territorial consciousness, and it is not very clear that Shadow has been here for two months.

According to Shadow, this place seems to be different from the twenty-sixth layer of the Abyss, where the creatures of the Abyss do not divide their territory like here.

This, Sistemm understood, after all, Shadow's stealth ability can not only make the body transparent, but also conceal the aura on the body, and will not be attacked by territorial-minded creatures at all.

Not to mention two months, even if you stay for a year, you will find clues here.

And it is not surprising that those toads or some small snakes will choose to run away when they see Systm.

At this level of the abyss, ordinary mortals have an innate fear of magical life, and it is precisely because of this that the toads and snakes that saw Sistemm flee on their own initiative.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and at this level of the abyss, there are also some species that do not play cards according to common sense.

One of them is the abundance of mosquitoes, which are not afraid of death and will swarm at the target if they are within a few meters of them.

Then there are the carnivorous plants in the swamp, which form huge containers with sturdy walls, filled with corrosive liquids, and movable vines that can drag creatures into their containers, similar to some man-eating plants in the horror movies of Sisttham's previous life.

These carnivorous plants will attack any creature that touches their vines.

And the last kind of life that doesn't play its cards according to common sense is the same as the Overworld, nature's scavenger, and Slime, Sistum's old friend.

These slimes are rarely seen near the lair where Sistam is located, and as for the slime that Shadow said is as huge as a house, Sistm has not been seen in the abyss for a few days.

Only a handful of normal-sized slimes can be found in areas around the Westthem.

At this level of the Abyss, slimes seem to be born in opposition to other creatures in the Abyss, and whenever they appear, they will be violently attacked by other creatures.

The few times Systm meets these slime friends, the slimes are being attacked by lizards, snakes, or large toads.

Heatham did not hesitate and rescued his old friend several times in a row.

I don't know if the taste of the creatures in the abyss has changed, and Systm finds that the slimes in the abyss taste better than the slimes in the main world......
