Chapter 141: Devouring
As he spoke, the team had already traveled seven or eight kilometers. Along the way, there were a lot more demons gathered around the squad. As soon as people become more courageous, not only are they getting closer and closer to the team, but they are also dancing with their teeth and claws, and they are ready to move again.
"Damn. As the team rested, Franco stepped back from the front and complained, "Why do I think we're here this time, and there are so many more annoying things than before?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Lake said, "Don't say it, I feel that way too." ”
"This is normal," Landelo, who was sitting on a stone, wiped the sword in his hand, looked up at the distance, and said, "There are too many squads that have entered the abyss during this time, and these demons should all be attracted to it." These things don't become less after cleaning them a few times. ”
Hearing Londelo's words, everyone was a little relieved. They all knew that entering the second layer of the abyss, there were three lines. And these three lines are all carved out by the mercenaries who have explored the abyss over the years with blood and the lessons of life. The areas selected are all areas with fewer Abyss Demons.
If you leave these three lines, not only will there be no [Mill] along the way, but the number of demons will be many times higher.
A canyon that is no more than a hundred meters wide and no more than one or two kilometers long is normal for tens of thousands of demons to gather. If you accidentally break into that kind of place, even if you have three heads and six arms and the endurance of a dragon, you will have to be consumed alive.
In comparison, the number of these demons gathered around now is insignificant. As Loldreau said, these things are endless, and they can never be killed.
"But we have to be careful," Roundelo paused, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. "The further we go inside, the more likely we are to run into other squads. Nothing else is there, in case ......"
Everyone's hearts are in the same place.
Everyone knew who Roundelo was referring to.
Since the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group has blocked the entrance to the abyss, there is no other arrangement inside the abyss. You know, they had a whole dozen squads involved in this exploration.
"Let's go. After a few minutes of rest, Rondelo stood up and said to Franco, "You continue to explore the path, and if there is danger, retreat first." There is still some way to go before the next mill, and if there are too many demons, we will find a way to clean up some of them first. ”
Franco nodded, and when he walked forward, his figure flickered, and he had disappeared into the mountain forest.
I saw a hint of tiredness on Franco's face as he left. Roy's heart moved, and he released the field, and a cloud of white mist silently burrowed into the grass.
As the first scout in the team, Franco not only has outstanding strength and has won the trust of everyone, but also has come to the abyss more than once and has rich experience. In such a situation, he can no longer be tired. As a last resort, the scout's responsibility can only be borne on him.
Roy didn't take the initiative to ask Ying to replace Franco as a scout. But he can use his clone to hunt demons, lightening Franco's burden and eliminating some potential dangers for the team.
A moment later, when the team set off again, no one knew that it was tens of meters away in the jungle. A small, big-headed boy was walking silently.
At Roy's suggestion, the first prey Xiao Bai chose was a small demon located on the periphery.
This is a little demon who is about to break through the second level. Compared to other similar species, it is stronger and much smarter. It wasn't in the human sight like other demons. Instead, it is wise to keep a distance.
Hiding behind a big tree and watching the human team walk away, the little demon jumped out quickly, running forward on all fours, sharp claws cutting marks in the dirt, and a foul-smelling green saliva from his long fanged mouth.
Just as the little demon descended a small dirt slope and was about to burrow into the grass, Xiao Bai, who had already been lying in ambush in front of it, suddenly flashed and appeared in the weeds it had just opened.
The little devil's pupils contracted suddenly, and before its simple mind could figure out what was going on, a stretch of white mist in the little white hand had turned into a sword, and then it was sent forward, stabbing into the little devil's chest.
Poof! The little devil's body suddenly turned red, turning into a cloud of shattered magma and scattered all over the ground.
"The first. Roy walked in the middle of the group, and suddenly, his steps paused sharply, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"What's wrong?" Racios, who was closest to him, asked with concern, noticing that something was wrong with Roy.
Roy swallowed, shook his head, and said, "Nothing. ”
Dealing with Racios, Roy's heart pounded.
Only he knew that just when Xiao Bai killed the demon just now, a red light flew out of the little demon's body and submerged into Xiao Bai's body.
It was a cold, violent, abyssal dark power.
Roy had a hard time describing what it was like. However, what he could be sure of was that after this red light submerged into Xiaobai's body, it immediately blended in. It triggered a burst of joy and joy from the main spirit. Whether it is the power of the rules of the realm or the power of one's own source, there is a slight improvement.
And the characteristics of this force also affect their own source power and domain. It's like dripping ink into a basin of milk. Although it is not conspicuous when mixed evenly, if you look closely, you can see a little gray hue in the pure white.
What's going on?
Roy's brain was spinning.
With a pedantic teacher, mastering the mysteries of the Devil's Pattern of Life, and his personal understanding when opening up the realm, it can be said that Roy has touched the most essential level of rules in this world. The understanding of the rules is even deeper than that of some Sacred Domain powerhouses.
Soon, he thought of the only explanation for this strange phenomenon.
The Abyss Demon, in essence, is a creature born naturally from the Abyss World. It is a collection of energies and elements. They have special world rules. can devour each other. It's like one storm that engulfs another storm and thus forms a more powerful storm.
Theoretically, if they are kept developing for a long time, they will grow into a terrifying kind of being, so powerful that they can sweep through the air.
For humans. This power would have been unattainable. Humanity is unable to absorb the inner power of the Abyssal Demon, just as it is unable to absorb the Storm. Even if a giant can swallow a typhoon with one mouth, the result is just a stomach.
But what if what appears in front of you is the same existence of energy and elements?
Xiaobai, a foodie. It is this special kind of existence zài. It has the ability to devour, and in a way, it is a special demon.
This discovery made Roy not know whether to be happy or worried for a while.
Since receiving the verdict and forming the demon core in his body, he has become a combination of humans and demonic beasts. Not only is the fighting spirit and magic power fused, but even the realm has become a combination of the domain rules of human awakening and the innate ability formed by the demonic beast opening the spirit seal.
And now, there is an abyss demon in the body's power system, what will he become in the future. I'm completely confused.
"I'm not going to have two fangs and a horn on my head, right?"
Roy was worried, but his actions didn't change at all. After many years of crawling in the snowy wilderness, living a life without a meal, he has long developed the character of pulling something into his mouth first, since Xiaobai can absorb the power of the demon, and the main spirit does not reject it, then what is there to hesitate.
Kill!
The childhood version of Roy pouted and drilled into the grass.
This one comes. The demons around him have suffered. I often only see a boy with a big head smuggling to touch him, and then his eyes are dark.
Use your clone to deal with these low-level demons. Roy is even more efficient than fighting with his body.
Xiao Bai came and went without a trace, and in less than half a prayer hour, he even killed more than sixty demons secretly. More than a dozen of them are still second-level demons.
One after another, the red demonic power was devoured by Xiao Bai.
Although the strength of these low-level demons is very low, and the power of their dedication is only a part of their own strength, it adds up to Roy's domain and source power. There has been a small increase.
Affected by the dark nature of the power of the abyss, Roy found that his source power seemed to have a demonic aura gradually. This makes it more and more comfortable to walk in this unique world. Originally limited by darkness and fog, the vision has become farther and the perception has become more acute.
Sometimes. Hundreds of meters away, you can feel the existence of some demon or some dangerous demonic plant.
Moving forward like this, more and more demons died in Xiaobai's hands. When the red light was silently swallowed by Roy, the team members were a little puzzled.
Not only Franco, but also the rest of the team noticed that the number of demons following him not only did not increase, but the number seemed to decrease.
Everyone was tense and fearful of being forced into a battle before they reached the next mill. But now it seems that not to mention that the fighting on the way will not break out, even if it is to clean up after the mill, it will be easy and pleasant.
Sure enough, at the Second Mill, it took the team less than twenty minutes to complete the cleanup.
And along the way, the demons saw only less and not more. The last mill before entering the second layer of the abyss, which was supposed to be the most critical of the many nodes on the first layer. If the front is not cleaned up enough, a large demonic tide will even form in this mill.
Historically, there has been a squad here that has caused a great wave of more than 100,000 demons. Almost every mountain, every canyon, every inch of land as far as the eye can see, is full of demons. And the fate of this reckless squad is naturally broken bones, and there are no bones left.
But in this last mill, Londello and the others found that the total number of demons pounced was less than 2,000. Even the record of the luckiest squad recorded in the mission hall is one-third less!
After killing about four or five hundred demons, the remaining demons retreated under the drive of fear.
The last mill in Guò, the entrance to the second level of the abyss is already within easy reach.
It is a black vortex located on the plains. It rises hundreds of meters high and stands lonely in the open field. From a distance, it looks like a storm standing still.
Following Rondello into the black vortex, Roy felt his senses completely blocked. Even the mind seems to have been frozen by some kind of force. This feeling is similar to the taste of death that I tasted when I studied with Sword Spirit in the world of judgment.
I don't know how long it took, but a faint red light gradually became clear in the field of vision, distant mountains, skyrocketing lava, billowing black smoke...... A dark red world appears before Roy's eyes...... (To be continued......)
