Chapter 163: The First Step in the Abyss' Exploration
A swollen humanoid protodemon with ulcers and abscesses bent over and lay on the ground, staring at a small hole in front of him with white and blank eyes, fearless of the steaming heat coming from the ground.
Soon, a shadow slowly crept out of the small hole!
Before the creature inside could fully appear, the long-waiting, uncontrollable appetite of the original demon stretched its shriveled claws straight into the narrow hole.
After stirring, an abyssal worm with a body length of more than thirty centimeters and a "fat" body was firmly grasped by its hook-shaped claws, and then directly stuffed into its mouth by this primordial demon.
"Smack!"
There was a burst of chewing, the sound of popping juice from the mouth of the original demon and the slight splash of insect juice made the jackals hiding near it a little unbearable.
Taking advantage of the "good opportunity" when the original demon was eating, several gnolls swarmed up from behind, although they were detected by the demon's innate dangerous reaction when they were about to approach the original demon, but it was too late.
After a while, the protodemon was defeated, and several gnolls cut off his head, then cut off his left ear and threw it into the backpack he carried with him to hold the loot, so that the group of gnolls from the Blue Castle had one more trophy.
In this crimson plain, hundreds of teams from the Blue Castle are slaughtering the demons of the plains.
There are ogres who don't pay attention to tactics and directly hammer demons with brute force; There are gnolls who pursue the cooperation of the squad and complete the kill with the lowest physical exertion; There are also sirens who kill demons with air superiority.
This is the first time that the Blue Castle has carried out a basic sweep of this red plain after Terrence and others have discussed, according to the division of the strength of the squad, most of the squads came here to hone their own strength, so the dangerous area that has been detected by the gnolls scouts, Terrence plans to solve it by himself first.
As a result of the current discussions, the territory standing in this abyss is tentatively located on the red plains directly below the Abyss Teleportation Altar.
There are a number of considerations for such a decision:
First, the plains are flat, which is conducive to the construction of infrastructure such as fortresses and fortresses.
Second, the orientation and location directly opposite the teleportation altar largely determined that important protective construction had to be carried out here.
Thirdly, the Grey Dwarves are more fond of the underground environment, and making the Plains a dungeon and fortress is the professional advice of the Grey Dwarves.
There are also many disadvantages of disadvantages.
If an endless number of demons spread across the plain to attack, a fortress without geographical advantages would be like an island.
Thousands of meters of high-altitude teleportation, if there is a sudden risk, the plain is really difficult to evacuate.
However, at present, Terrence and the others have no better choice, so tentatively designating the location of this abyssal plane as the Crimson Great Plains is the first step in the current abyssal exploration.
While hundreds of teams of Blue Castles were clearing the plains of demons, Terrence and Hogg were not idle, and they needed to explore the danger areas that were standard for Gnoll Scouts.
If it wasn't dangerous, then Terrence intended to wreak havoc on it, making these dangerous areas a "copy of experience" for the Blue Castle's future talents.
This time Palaya was not idle, she was really bored on Fish-Man Island, and now she was in the position of Terrence, and after Terrence and Hogg left, a master dragon needed to watch over all matters, even if it was only superficially better than nothing.
γγγγγγγγ
Hundreds of meters in the air, Hogg, who was grabbed by one of Terrence's paws, excitedly pointed into the distance.
It was a huge fissure, and this east-west longitudinal fissure seemed very abrupt to Terrence and Hogg in the distance at this moment, like a piercing hole in a flat piece of paper.
After getting closer, Hogg and Terrence get a glimpse of its "true face".
This is an abyssal crack with a great depth, spanning nearly a kilometer from east to west!
Suddenly, it appeared on this plain, like an ugly scar on this red land.
The abyss's demonic purple magic light was bubbling from the crack in the ground, and the steaming demonic qi and countless abyssal worms slowly crawled out of this crack.
Abyssal Worm, this is the most pitiful chaotic evil creature whose soul comes to the Abyss in the form of a larva and then turns into a worm.
They are the juveniles of most demons, and they are one of the foods that most demons devour, and if consumed, they will permanently erase the existence of the multiverse.
The demons born in the layers of the Abyss are the embodiment of chaos and evilβor more appropriately, the source of destruction stuffed into a massive, monstrous shell. They don't know how to be merciful, sympathetic, or merciful, and they are beings who are only born to destroy.
Through the twisted laws of the abyss, demons can "elevate" larvae to appropriate demons, such as Kwass, Cowardice, Proto-Demon, or Deviant, and may be able to quickly ascend to much more powerful demons if they have particularly evil precursors.
But what Terrence and Hogg encountered in front of them was not this common situation, but a rare giant worm that did not choose to evolve in the direction of other demons!
Worms, such fragile and endlessly numerous, are said to have seen the mother of worms larger than a giant dragon (hundreds of meters)!
Of course, this is a rare case where this kind of worm does not choose to evolve with other demons, and then still chooses to use the worm body as the evolutionary goal!
Aside from its own original state as the direction of evolution, the body of the worm has almost no attack and defense, and it is obviously extremely unlikely that it can evade the predation of other demons (and natural predators) and become a large worm, or even the mother of worms.
After coming here in person and finding out the specific situation, Terrence made his own judgment.
"Large worms, there should be something like a mother worm here."
In the Dragon Inheritance, the dragons are obviously more enthusiastic about the records of this kind of rare things and cases, and of course, all kinds of treasure information also account for a large part of the memory of the Dragon Inheritance.
"Mother of worms? It's tricky stuff......."
Hogg's newly ignited will to fight suddenly went out, this kind of thing he had done his homework when he came, for the mother of worms, who might be hundreds of meters in size, there was no combat help for Hogg, only demons with similar physiques could make Hogg engage in actual battles.
"Theseus might be interested in this, let's get back to him."
After Terrence confirmed the area, he also found an unfathomable hole in the abominable fissure, and the crack was flanked by dense caverns of worms of various sizes.
Terrence asked Hogg, who was clutching on his paws, to take out a map and a pen, and named the area "Worm's Nest", and explored the degree: Severe Danger!
After exploring the newly named Worm Lair area, Terrence and Hogg quickly flew to the danger zone near the next Crimson Plains.
