With Roy's revealed archery skills, the team members below suddenly had a bottom in their hearts, and they no longer had to worry about the flying demons in the sky, and they could concentrate on the battle. The efficiency of the battle has increased by more than one layer.

Still, occasionally in the middle of a battle, they couldn't help but look up.

The battle with the flying demon has become Roy's personal show, or rather a game.

Everyone noticed that this guy's eyes flashed with excitement and curiosity, and whenever a demon swooped down, his eyes lit up like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

And he didn't shoot these demons down all at once.

He will try to send arrows into different parts of different demons, wings, shoulders, head, chest, lower abdomen, lower limbs, and even the ribs and back.

This made everyone marvel at his archery skills at the same time, and at the same time, they couldn't help but have a strange feeling. It seems that those feathered arrows that sweep through the void are this kid's scalpel. He's dissecting demons in this way, gaining insight into their anatomies and weaknesses.

This is not a delusion.

In fact, to the later stages of the battle. Whenever a winged demon or a shadow demon pounced, Roy could turn it into fireworks in the sky with a single arrow.

After half a prayer hour, the tide of demons, who had killed and injured most of them, finally subsided. There were no corpses on the ground, all that was left was a thick layer of black mud like volcanic ash. And the black mud continued to sink into the ground, and soon, the cliff became empty again, as if nothing had happened.

In this regard, Rondello and others are no longer surprised. I don't think it's anything unusual. After a short rest, it's time to hit the road.

Roy, on the other hand, stared at the black mud until it vanished.

Roy thought to himself. Tong Guò's previous battles, combined with the books he had read about the demons of the abyss, gave him a deeper understanding of the abyss.

He found. The body structure of these Abyssal Demons is very special.

They have black blood and no bones or internal organs. The vital point of the other races is just an ordinary place in the body for them. Even if they were shot in the throat by an arrow, the wounds they would suffer were no different from being shot in the hands and feet.

These demons are more of an aggregate of energy than a life being.

Only if the damage they take is greater than the maximum amount they can take. They will die. And the way they die is so different.

They don't have corpses. When you die, your body turns into burning lava, and when it cools, it becomes black dust like volcanic ash.

During the battle, Roytong Guò experimented and discovered that the only key to these demons was their hearts.

It is said to be a heart, but it is actually a core that resembles a flame.

Each demon has a different core location. The Winged Demon is on the forehead. The Shadow Fiend is on the back, the Lesser Devil is on the chest, and the Claw Demon is on the lower abdomen.

But no matter where they were, if they were mortally attacked, they would be shattered like gunpowder that had ignited the fuse. Of course, the higher the rank of the demon, the tighter the protection of the core. For example, the core of the Winged Demon is far more difficult to attack than the Minor Demon.

Roy was sure of the red light he had seen the Shadow Fiend absorb. It escaped from the core of the Winged Demon. That is the source and essence of their power. The Shadow Demon devoured this red light, which was equivalent to absorbing a portion of the Winged Demon's power.

But. To Roy's regret, this situation seems to exist only among the demons of the abyss.

In the previous battle, no matter how many demons he killed, he didn't see a red light falling on him, but the demon next to him who was closer got the advantage.

After repeated confirmations, Roy found out. There is also a limit to this mutual devouring of demons. After the death of the Abyss Demon, the kernel exists for a very short time. If there is no demon next to it to devour it in time, the red light will go out and dissipate along with the black ash that the body has turned into.

"It's a peculiar world. Looking around the abyss, Roy thought to himself.

Not only is the environment very different from the mainland. Even the ecosystem is completely different. What Roy didn't understand was that since these abyssal demons had their own system and needed to fight and devour each other to grow and grow, why were they so interested in humans?

"Mr. Lacios," Roy asked curiously, as Roy walked beside him, glancing at the demons who had been slain and still sneaking in the distance, "Why are these guys so interested in us?"

This kind of problem, the dwarf warlock is clearly an expert.

They are the only class among the major races that have been dealing with the Abyss Demon for a long time. Especially their summoning technique, which summons the abyss demons.

"Eat meat. Lacios gave Roy a simple answer, saying, "Those of us who come from outside are delicious to them. ”

"Oh?" Roy asked, "Why? Could it be that they eat us and become stronger?"

"Well, not exactly," Racios explained, "the strength of the Abyssal Demons is mainly increased by devouring each other. The reason why they are interested in us is because our qi and blood have the effect of improving the physique of demons who can't see the sun. ”

"Improving your physique?" Roy's eyes widened.

This answer reminded him of the big jar that Austin had made to improve his physique, and he was like some kind of medicine in it.

"Yes," Lacios asked, nodding affirmatively, "do you know what these guys' favorite places are?"

"The bottom of the abyss?" Roy said uncertainly.

In books about abyssal demons, it is said that the more powerful the abyss demons, the more they like to stay at the bottom level. The first layer of the abyss is the world of first- and second-level demons, and the second layer is the paradise of third- and fourth-level demons. If they don't have enough strength, they won't be able to get down.

Doesn't this mean that the lower the world, the greater the attraction to the Abyss Demons?

However, after listening to Roy's answer, Racios showed a smile that he knew you would be wrong, shook his head and said, "You are wrong." Abyssal Demon's favorite place. It's our world. ”

This answer was completely unexpected by Roy.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Racios said, "In the inheritance of our dwarf sorcerers, there is a legend about the Abyss Demon. The abyss is said to be a projection of the continent. The continent has light and life, is full of life, and acts as a shadow. The abyss is nothing but endless darkness. ”

He pointed at Roy and himself, "We usually don't experience the benefits of being outside, but when we go to the abyss, look at the environment here, even if it is the barren and bitter cold of the Salvation Continent, it is a thousand times better than here." And for these demons, the abyss is more like a cage. ”

Racios said as he walked.

He kicked a stone away, looked back at the demons in the distance, and said, "These low-level demons have simple brains. Everything I do is just instinctual, and I don't have any ideas. But the higher the level, the smarter they become. Some Abyssal Demons are even more cunning than humans. ”

Roy nodded. When I was a child, I listened to stories told by bards, and there was often a cunning demon who tricked people into selling their souls.

Although there are apocryphal ingredients in it, this also shows from the side that the demon's IQ cannot be judged by these low-level demons behind him. The more powerful the demon, the higher the intelligence.

"Wait until you have wisdom. With power, these abyssal demons will yearn for the outside world. Racios said. Paradoxically, though, if they want to live, they must overcome their opponents and become stronger. And the more powerful they are, the darker their physique becomes. The more resistant you are to sunlight. ”

As he spoke, Racios asked, "Did you see those black fogs at the entrance when we entered the abyss just now?"

Roy nodded.

Racios said: "That is actually the prohibition of the abyss. Any demon that tries to break through the ban will be reduced to ashes. And to get to the surface, they only have two paths. ”

He held up a finger: "First." It's we who call them out. ”

As he spoke, he raised his second finger: "The second one is to devour enough qi and blood, improve your physique, and then break through the prohibition and go out." ”

As they spoke, the team had reached the edge of a lava-filled fissure in the earth. After carefully crossing the crack along a natural stone bridge, Racios continued: "Actually, these two are pretty much the same. You've been in our trap city, so you've seen warlocks summon demons, right?"

Seeing Roy nodding, he said, "Then you must see that when summoning demons, we need to prepare a lot of demonic beast blood to prepare a potion." This potion is actually for the demons we summoned. Otherwise, they will die as soon as they come out. ”

Roy suddenly said, "I used to think it was for rituals or to make a deal with demons. ”

Racios laughed and said, "Actually, it's not bad to say that the deal is good. Only with this potion will the demons be willing to accept our call. The more powerful demons you summon, the more powerful and vigorous your blood becomes. To summon a ninth-level demon, you need dragon blood. ”

"Do you promise them anything other than potions, such as souls?" Roy asked the question that had been swirling in his mind for years.

"Bullshit souls," Racios scolded, "these guys have a long life, they've been locked up in the abyss, and it's lucky for them to come out and see them." ”

"Just to get out there and see them, they're willing to fight for you?" Roy asked.

"Anyway, they fight and kill in the abyss," Lacios pouted, "where to kill is different? Besides, do you think it's easy for us to summon a demon, and it doesn't cost money to dispense potions?"

Roy nodded thoughtfully.

After Racios's explanation, he finally understood why these demons had been following the team. It's all instinctual.

And this also shows that humans and demons are two completely different power systems.

Demons attack human beings, it is the instinct to yearn for the outside world. But it is not possible to grow by hunting humans. On the other hand, when humans hunt demons, it is naturally impossible to kill one of them to obtain the benefits of ascension just like demons fight each other.

Roy smacked his lips with pity.

He regretted why he wasn't a demon. If so, then if you kill and kill here all day, you might be able to kill a holy area.

That's much faster than cultivating all day long...... (To be continued......)
