Chapter Twenty-Five: The Zerg of Anroz and the Other

The dim caves, the scorched rocks, and the ubiquitous chirping of insects, Zode felt as if everything on the main physical plane was a beautiful dream.

Is this the plane adventure of the demons? It is really wonderful! And the abundant harvest, no wonder the demons are desperate to descend on the main physical plane!

In the next few days, Zuo De has been busy collecting soul cores, and the power of killing has been growing, and Zuo De's level has reached level nine.

Although Zuo De felt disgusted by the will of the abyss, the core of the boutique soul was hard currency in the abyss. No matter how much, it can be consumed by those mid-to-high-level demons.

A large number of high-quality soul cores were stored in the dimensional box by Zuo De, and some ordinary soul cores were thrown to Cobb for disposal. Anyway, goblins don't have high requirements for the quality of the soul core.

Level 9 is a key level, which means that Zuode is about to advance, and that is a huge improvement. For most Abyssal Worms, this is the starting point for their entry into the Demon Camp. In the future, in the endless years, they may evolve into a powerful archdemon, or they may be killed by other demons along the way. However, for Zode, this is a very headache.

First of all, there doesn't seem to be a Demon Lord here, which means that there is no reference to the worm's progression. The chance of failure is nine out of nine. Normally, the Demon Lord will combine consciousness and abyssal will in his territory, so that all worms in the area will be advanced to the types it designates. Even some special kinds of demon lords, the demons of the territory are almost all a single species. For example: Lord of the Eye Demons, Mother of Worms, etc.

Secondly, the advancement of any worm is to be recognized by the will of the abyss. With Zode's current status on the blacklist of the Abyssal Will, he couldn't guarantee that the Supreme Abyssal Will would not transform him into the worst kind.

In short, Zuo De has no plans to directly advance to a demon for the time being. Anyway, the low-level demons that were transformed were not much stronger than Zuo De's now. Besides, maintaining the worm form can also be further strengthened.

Although Zoder had a soul gem in his hand, Zod had no intention of using it now. A whole soul in the abyss usually exists in the form of a gemstone. Unlike fragments such as the soul core, the soul gem contains all the knowledge, feelings, emotions, and other spiritual powers of a life, and is the most important wealth in the endless abyss.

Soul gems are also divided into ten levels according to the rank before death, the difference is that according to the complexity and connotation of this soul, the quality of the soul gems generated can be divided into five grades: ordinary, excellent, excellent, perfect and unique.

The use of soul gems by mid- and lower-tier demons is usually only to strengthen themselves after eating them. However, the use of soul gems, especially high-quality soul gems, by high-level demons is much more complicated. Every emotion contained in the Soul Gem can be extracted for various profane rituals or arcane experiments. It may also be infused with some kind of power, strengthen one of the emotions, and eventually transform into the demonic servant you need. In short, in the eyes of high-level demons, soul gems are the most beautiful existence in the world.

Legendary Demons, on the other hand, have a different approach. Zode searched for Laosis's memories and found an interesting practice. He constructs a special illusion in his own world of consciousness, and then throws soul gems into it.

In the midst of the illusion is an illusory world, where the souls of the gems continue to live, learn, and grow as if they had experienced life again. When the illusion ends, the quality of the Soul Gem usually increases by one level. This is much more clever than violently amplifying a certain soul emotion.

The difficulty of this technique is how to construct a world that looks so real that the soul is completely lost in it. This can only be done with a very rich knowledge of the world and society. The vast majority of high-ranking demons can't do this, they grow up in an environment that makes it difficult to understand the social nature of these human races, and only an old legend like Laosis can use this method.

However, Zode found that this method was too simple for him. In the Stone Eye Space, he has stored tens of thousands of classic films and novels. It is the crystallization of the entire human wisdom, and the authenticity is almost 100%.

At this time, Zuo De had already thrown the soul gem into the world of a movie, looking at the ordinary soul gem that was originally just a lower level, its quality really improved little by little, Zuo De was very excited, and he couldn't help but fantasize about the scene surrounded by the overwhelming top-level soul gems.

This transformation will also take time, but Zod is not in a hurry, he is thinking about how to coax Fianna to hunt for the next soul gem.

In the past few days, Zuode has been able to receive Fianna's prayers every day, and this kind of prayer can also improve his soul power slightly, and Zuode can't imagine what it would be like if he had tens of thousands of believers.

The maiden never performed the Fall Ritual again. It seems that after the little girl became an official arcane apprentice, her life should be very comfortable. However, this kind of life will not last long! Zuode knew that the girl would call him again after all.

The weather was still as hot as usual, there was not a trace of wind, the vast Styx River seemed to be affected by the dull climate of the plane, there was no wave on the surface of the Wanli River, except for the occasional few lonely dead souls emerging from the river, there was no large group of dead souls haunting, which was not a common situation.

Zod was hunting an elite worm, and this guy was cunning and nimble, and almost let it escape into the River Styx. Abyssal worms can indeed survive in the River Styx for a short time, and the soul-purifying effect of the River Styx also helps the worm somewhat, but if you soak in the River Styx for a long time, the worm will also degenerate into the most basic soul fragments. So some clever worms will always roll around in the River Styx or something, and it works very well. However, with the retreat of the River Styx and the explosion of the number of dead souls, this behavior has become much less.

It's a pity that this guy didn't escape Zode's sword. was cut in two at once by Kun. Just as Zod searched for the core of his soul, a low trumpet sound came out of the vast Styx in the distance.

"Woo——!"

Then, as if the whole River Styx was alive, waves and whirlpools rose and fell. Countless dead souls rose from the River Styx and flew in a chaotic air, flying away in terror into the distance. And at the source of the sound of the trumpet, a dozen black dots floating in the waters of the River Styx were moving slowly but surely in the direction of Zode.

"That's ......" Looking at the gradually clear outline of the black dots, Zuo De couldn't help but shout in surprise,

"Anroz Worm Demon!"

If there was any creature in the Endless Abyss that could compete with demons, it would be the Anroze Worm. The Anroze Bugs are not demonic creatures, they are officially called the Anroze High Zerg.

In the endless abyss of the life of the Zerg such as Anroz, they occupy hundreds of levels, and they are the most powerful race in the abyss except for demons.

In the Abyss, the Anroze Bugs rarely participate in disputes between demons, and they play the role of mercenaries and merchants. Constantly reap the benefits of demonic warfare.

Legend has it that the ultimate wish of this race is to awaken their empress from eternal sleep.
