Chapter 137: Into the Abyss

There was a shrill chirp, and Roy and the others looked up, only to see a winged demon and a shadow demon fighting fiercely in the sky.

The Winged Demon Waver, its tattered, bony wings, flew through the air, four eagle-like claws swept through the air like four sharp blades. Even the air was shredded. And the Shadow Demon was pitch black, like a cloud of black smoke, circling around the Winged Demon.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was dark.

And in the distance, there are more different kinds of demons at war. Some are on earth, some are in heaven, and some are in rivers.

In just a few minutes, Roy had identified at least a dozen Abyssal Demons.

Unlike the terrestrial world, in the abyss, war is the main color. These demons have been fighting since they were born, and they must devour their brothers to survive. And this is only the first step in their lives, and every time they grow up in the future, they must fight non-stop.

The winner devours the weak, thereby increasing strength, this is the rule of the abyss.

Thus, these demons not only attack the other races that have entered the abyss, but also attack each other. Almost every minute and every second, in every corner of this land, there are countless demons fighting.

For these demons, the depths of the abyss are their paradise. The demons of the first layer, after growing into the third-level demons, are eligible to enter the second layer. And the demons of the second layer, when they break through to the fifth level, they can enter the third layer, and so on.

No one knows exactly how deep the abyss really is.

According to the historical records before the final battle, there was once a peerless powerhouse who tried to break through the sixth layer of the abyss. However, at the entrance of the seventh layer, he encountered a terrifying fourteenth-level abyss demon and reluctantly retreated.

Rumor has it that the abyss is a gateway to other planes. But until now, no one has been able to confirm this. And the demons who invaded the continent of Avalon from other planes. and the rumored Giant Clan who left the Avalon continent to go to other inevitable giants, neither through the Abyss.

Seeing the world for the first time at this moment, Roy's eyes were full of curiosity, and he couldn't see enough of anything.

"Alright," Rondello waited a few minutes, waiting for Roy to see almost. He said, "Let's go." There's still a long way to the second floor. ”

Seeing Roy's appearance, the others finally regained a little face. Lake and Larry have been to the Abyss several times, Franco has been to the Abyss twice, and Racios and Tusu have been to once. Only Afu never came.

Rex crammed Roy, walking as he spoke.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see. A few more times, you'll know that these low-level demons in the first layer of the abyss are like flies. Countless. They fight every day, but they don't stop dying when they get old. Dead batches come out again and again, and there is never a time to stop. ”

He smiled and said, "You can't finish watching it in your lifetime." ”

Roy nodded, keeping up with the team. However, the eyes have never left the Winged Demon and Shadow Demon fighting in the sky.

Through the Elemental Eye, Roy found that the battle of these demons was very interesting.

For example, the Winged Demon. Despite its tattered wings, they are very flexible. Every time you wave your wings, you can control the wind element of the holes in the flesh membrane of your wings. And flexible steering. It is often a large rotation with one wing as the axis, which is difficult to guard.

And the shadow demon is even more weird. On its body, wisps of black mist entwined. The black fog suddenly dispersed, and suddenly gathered together. And the shadow demon is the control of these black fogs to hide his whereabouts.

When it appears. The body always glows slightly. And this light will change with the environment. This makes it difficult to spot in a shiny place. And when needed, it suddenly turns black, and its body shrinks dramatically, hidden in a wisp of black mist.

From the surface. It seemed to have turned into a black mist.

The Winged Demon had suffered the loss of the Shadow Demon's concealment technique several times, and for a moment he was anxious and angry, and roared loudly.

Observing this, Roy gained a deeper understanding of these two most common demons in the abyss. At the same time, after careful consideration, he found that the fighting methods of these demons also helped him a lot in his own battles.

As he climbed a small hill, Roy saw that the battle between the Winged Demon and the Shadow Demon had come to an end. The Winged Demon had one of his wings severed by the Shadow Demon's razor-sharp bone blade, and although he was still able to fly with the control of the wind element, his agility and speed were greatly reduced.

Finally, the Winged Demon was slain by the Shadow Demon. The body of the Winged Demon of Death turned into ashes and disappeared. In the midst of the ashes, a red light flew out, absorbed by the Shadow Fiend.

After absorbing this red light, the Shadow Demon raised his head to the sky and roared, the black qi wrapped around his body was much stronger than before, and his body was also larger.

"I've heard that the Abyss Demons rely on absorbing the power of the enemy to strengthen themselves," Roy was secretly surprised in his heart, "Sure enough. So, how many prey does a fifth-level abyss demon need to kill during its growth, and how terrifying is a tenth-level or even twelfth-level demon?"

While shocked, Roy couldn't help but feel extremely curious about the way the demon grew.

This is a completely different way of evolution from the major races on the continent. Even with demons and monsters, it's not the same.

But as one of the creatures of this world, Roy believes that demons must also follow the rules of this world.

And since they follow the same rules, it means that their evolutionary system and power system can be explained.

Roy clasped his chin in his fingers, thinking about how to get a few demons to study. After following Austin for a long time, even he has a quirk of cutting everything into seventeen or eighteen pieces to look at carefully.

However, the team is on their way, and all the demons they can avoid along the way are out of the way. If he couldn't avoid it, Rundero released his powerful aura and let those low-level demons escape. Roy knew that now was clearly not a good time to satisfy his curiosity.

Just as he was thinking, Roy's voice rang in his ear.

"Leo. Racios didn't know when he walked beside Roy, bouncing and looking like a happy little boy.

It's funny how you look at this pose. You know, even though Racios has a round face, he is over thirty years old this year. The adult's face, the child's body and walking posture are combined. Exceptionally eccentric.

However, Roy is well aware that this is a specific way of walking for gnomes.

They are only half the height of ordinary people, and their limbs are even shorter. Ordinary people take one step, they have to take three steps. This makes them have to jump at a high frequency in order to keep up.

And. Don't underestimate the gnomes.

In terms of flexibility, they are several times higher than dwarves. It's on par with elves. Once they spread their legs and run, you can only see a shadow flying close to the ground. Especially a dwarf magician...... He has 10,000 ways to eat ash with just following his ass.

"Are you really just a third-level mercenary?" asked Racios, tilting his head, curious.

Roy nodded.

"But, I just saw that you were very skilled at hunting that unicorn python. "There are a lot of tasks in the mission hall to hunt unicorn pythons, and you can get a lot of points for any one of them. You have such ability, it won't be difficult to upgrade to a fourth-level mercenary, right?"

"I don't usually take on assignments. Roy laughed, "Just like you gnomes." As far as I know, there are very few people who would become a level 5 mercenary. ”

Racios grinned.

Indeed, since the final battle, the major races have withdrawn from human society one after another, and the gnomes are the race that has broken off with humanity the most. Among the three great empires of mankind, there is hardly a shadow of a dwarf. Not to mention a fifth-level high-level mercenary.

"You seem to know us well," said Racios, looking at Roy, a question that had been bothering him for a long time. "How do you know that my petrified ray is only twenty meters away?"

"If I sue you, I spent half a year in your organ city when I was a child. Would you believe it?" Roy said.

"Can such a lie fool me, Lacios? No one can lie in front of a dwarf, we are experts in lying. Racios pursed his lips disdainfully. However, halfway through his words, he looked into Roy's eyes, and his tone became a little uncertain, "What you said is true?"

"Third Organ City. Roy nodded, "It's in the triangle." ”

Racios's eyes widened suddenly, and looking at Roy's gaze was like seeing a living ghost.

The so-called triangle is the Saint-Soran Empire. The place where the three kingdoms of the Pompeii Empire and the Philae Empire meet, is located in the center of the continent, northwest of the province of Pru, and the northern section of the Central Warcraft Mountains.

It was a barren land of mountains and monsters. Because of the harsh environment, several attempts by humans to build towns have failed.

Only the gnomes, with their marvelous puppets and machines, overcame the harsh environment and established the Institution City. However, until now, how many dwarf cities there are, and where they are located, are secrets that only the dwarfs know inside.

But now, Roy spoke up. This means that this young human boy really knows a lot about the dwarf race.

After a moment of sluggishness, Racios smiled.

A human who can live in the city for half a year is definitely a good friend of the dwarf. And for a dwarf who walks alone in the human world, meeting friends is definitely a joyful thing.

"Hey, do you know Brooklyn?"

"You mean the head of the bird's nest, the one who likes to fly himself into the sky as a kite?"

"Yes, yes, that's the guy. Haha, he's my best friend in Third Organ City. ”

"And Albert Einstein, the freckled one. ”

"Of course I know, that guy rides a mechanical ostrich all day long, and he is very energetic. I don't even let others touch it. Stingy!, though, his mechanical genius is truly amazing. ”

"Haha, he's riding a mechanical tiger now, and he's still so stingy. The last time I was in a hurry, I gave him a petrified ray while he was taking a shower, and carried him to the square......"

The two quickly found a common topic, talked all the way, and within ten minutes, they had become good friends.

Looking at Roy and Lacios, one tall and one short, chatting enthusiastically, the rest of the team couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise.

A dwarf warlock isn't a good-natured fellow. Even if they have worked together several times, they can be regarded as companions and friends who trust each other. However, it is still difficult for everyone to talk to Racios. In particular, the dwarf's strange thinking, interests, and way of speaking are completely different from humans.

As for Tu Su, another alien member of the team, not to mention it. It's good if she and Racios don't fight.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Lacios had become friends with Leo. Looking at the enthusiasm and joy on his round face, it was hard to believe that he was still the dwarf warlock with a strange temper.

However, surprise is surprise, everyone feels good.

After what happened to the unicorn python just now, they found that Leo didn't want to be as useless as he looked. In addition, this membership was originally intended to find a protector for Racios, so the two of them got along happily, which improved the atmosphere of the team.

At least now, people are not as pessimistic and apprehensive as they were at the beginning. Really looking forward to this exploration.

And at this time, the team has been led by Rondello to the first dangerous zone worthy of vigilance in the first layer of the abyss.

Silent Jungle
