Chapter 167 Abyss Altar
There are also velociraptors in this world, and this flesh-torn dragon is the close relative of the velociraptor.
The stolen dragon is also a small dinosaur. They are small and flexible in their body shape and movements. They are very clever carnivorous animals. They usually live in dense bushes and lush forests. Therefore, some of them have dug up underground holes near the surface to prey and survive.
Donald didn't know if the two worlds had unknown connections, so they both had similar dinosaur creatures. However, once such large groups of beasts appeared near his territory, it would definitely pose a great threat to people. So he would not replay it when he encountered him.
After solving this flesh-torn dragon, Donald immediately gave up the fork in the dead end, left a guard guard on the spot as the coordinates, and asked Uther one to walk into another passage.
This passage has been explored by owls, and most of the two newly appeared forks in front of them have been walked. At present, no danger has been found except for a few small creatures that feed on insects.
Soon, the two forks had reached the end, and a new fork appeared on one side, while the other led to a vast underground space.
Donald thought about it and chose to go in the latter direction.
"The black-scaled lizard men were able to escape to the surface under the pursuit of the demons, which means that their gathering place could not be too far from the surface passage, so this should be the cave where they once lived, and the passage in the abyss plane should also be nearby!"
Donald is quite sure of his own speculation.
Generally, demons are concentrated in the southern continent. There are only a few small passages to the abyss in the north. Demons will appear every few years. Therefore, there are no Selter's events in history. After all, the spirits of humans and other creatures that the demons want are always rare in the north. It was not until the rise of the Kingdom of Celter in the past few hundred years. It also has a cold climate that demons don't like. Therefore, even with several natural small plane passages, few large demons will choose to log in here.
After all, hundreds of years are not long for demon creatures with long lifespans. In their impression, the Northland was still the sparsely populated barren land at that time. In contrast, the population of the rich southern continent in units of billions is very different.
It is estimated that the traces of demons that appeared in Celte in previous years were just a few lower-level demons who came over to try their luck, so they were easily destroyed by people. It is said that the larger abyss passages on the continent are usually very powerful, and all human strong men are stationed there all year round to avoid being run to human territory by high-level demons to slaughter them.
After continuing to go deeper for a while, Donald and the others gradually discovered the traces of the demon. It was a messy row of footprints that were similar to human children in size, but there were obviously hard horny bodies on their toes. Judging from the footprints, the number of this demon team should be about a few. In terms of size, it was probably a small demon that did not pose any threat to them.
The cowardly demon, commonly known as the little demon, is the most representative low-level demon. They are at the bottom of the abyss. They are timid because of their weak strength. This is also the origin of their names. The little demons are better at deception and trickery, which is different from other powerful demons who prefer chaotic violence. Of course, if their strength prevails, they will show their cruel side when facing the weak.
Don’t underestimate a small demon who is only half an adult’s height. As a demon creature, their power is three times that of an ordinary adult human. At least veterans who have been trained to go to the battlefield can kill a small demon alone in a head-on battle. Most ordinary militias need two or three people to fight against it.
The little demons also have certain spell-like abilities. The special xing originated from the abyss makes them have natural fire element resistance and strong resistance to poison. Most of the little demons have a certain ability to control flames, but most of them can only release a few weakened versions of the Burning Hands or Flame Arrows. Some little demons can release a powerful spell equivalent to the third-level fireball technique. Generally, this kind of little demon will be spontaneously recommended as the leader by the same kind.
When Donald and the others came to the end of the second fork, the owl he released had already discovered the traces of the little demons.
In that vast underground cave, several black shadows were searching in a rocky forest near the exit of the passage, as if they were hoping to find something.
When the owl approached a little, Donald discovered that these creatures were only half a human tall, dark and red. The typical demonic face had a pair of deformed small bat wings, with sharp horns on their heads and a slender tail behind them.
It is the most common little demon in the legendary abyss plane.
In addition to these little demons, the owls flying to other directions of the cave also found traces of the demons. Donald immediately entered the cave with Uther and headed towards the nearest little demons.
The top of this underground cave is hundreds of feet from the ground, and the area found is at least hundreds of acres, so Donald and the others were not affected at all when they rushed to the road, ten times faster than before when they were in the underground passage. After a few shaking efforts, they had already approached the little demons.
With his and Uther's skills, there is naturally no problem dealing with the few little demons. The other party was subdued in an instant without even making a sound.
Demons speak the words of the abyss, but there are also many smart little demons who speak the common terms of humans. In the abyss, the little demons are the existence of the slave class. Therefore, these little demons are often cunning and flattering. Mastering more skills can make them live better under the upper-level demons.
After subduing these little demons, Donald set up a silent barrier and ordered Uther to awaken all the little demons.
After several little demons woke up, they saw two humans here and immediately screamed loudly.
However, seeing that the human being did not stop him, he was unmoved and allowed himself to call on these smart little demons of the same kind, he knew that the other party must be fearless.
"I know there must be some of you who can understand the common language of humanity. Now I ask you, if any answer satisfies me, I will let it go!"
"The first question is, how many demons are you here?"
After Donald finished speaking, he saw these little demons circling their eyes, looking dirty and pretending not to understand his words, and none of them answered the question.
"Doesn't anyone want to answer?" said that, and nodded to Uther.
Uther immediately took out his sword and instantly beheaded a little demon, then stepped forward and dug out the core.
Seeing that the other person was so cruel, he killed himself, a similar person, all the remaining little demons were frightened and begged for mercy. Sure enough, these dishonest guys could understand human language.
The book records that although the demons are cunning and cruel, they are the most bullying and fearing the strong. They are not inferior to those of the deceitful goblin merchants. The killing of chickens to warn monkeys made these little demons frightened.
"We've come a lot." The little demons obviously failed the arithmetics, only one of them calculated with his fingers: "There are twenty like Patch, and there are a few more!"
Ten times the number of twenty? That's more than two hundred!
"Very good! Your name is Patch, right? This question is answered well. The next question is which one of the most powerful demons you came here this time?"
Donald, who got the specific number of demons, continued.
Another little demon named Patch answered first: "It's Baron Jadri!" After saying this name, these little demons were obviously a little afraid. This was "a demon nobleman" out of instinct for the powerful?"
Donald moved deeply and continued to ask about the situation of the demon baron of these little demons and not let go of any details.
Finally, I learned that although the demon baron was a demon nobleman, he was only a descendant of a certain abyss lord. After taking this relationship, he became a baron's name. His own strength was not as strong as those demon nobles who climbed up step by step by step, and that was around the peak of silver.
He then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
You should know that generally demon lords who can obtain the title of aristocratic or obtain a territory in the abyss have at least the strength of the golden level. Compared with those golden demons, the demon baron Jadri, who is one level lower than the big level, is obviously very watery. Even if he has the strength bonus of the demon race, it is undoubtedly much easier to deal with.
Half an hour later, until he could not find anything, Donald also got the exact information about the demons, and then signaled to Uther.
Seeing this scene, the few little demons didn't know what they meant, and they all came out of a terrified god. Before they could escape, they were all killed by Uther Liluo with one sword.
Only the little demon Patch was left in the audience.
Looking at the frightened little demon Donald, smiling and said, "I will not regret what I said. You have to answer to make me very satisfied. You can go!" But his smile fell into the eyes of Patch, the little demon, as if it was the real demon's smile. Although he had expressed his intention to let it go, it did not dare to move its steps.
It was not until the two humans left for a while that the little demon Patch looked around and there was no movement. Then he left here quickly and left in the opposite direction.
According to the information interrogated from the little demon and the investigation of the owl, Donald and the others headed towards the abyss passage.
During the process, Donald took the core of a little demon and then let the Book of Truth be tested.
The power core of general humanoid demons is in their heart position, which is different from the magic cores of monsters that are mostly distributed in the brain. The demon's core is also a good material required by mages, similar to the magic crystal core. However, most of the demon's core contains flames and evil energy, so the application is not as wide as the various magic crystal cores.
In fact, for the Book of Truth, their effects are more powerful than the Warcraft Crystal Core, because the demon core is not only the source of the demon's power, but also preserves their spiritual origin. It can be said that a large part of the demon's spiritual power is preserved in their cores. This is mainly used to preserve energy, and the Warcraft Crystal Core with only a little spiritual mark cannot be compared with.
However, the demon core is also very difficult to obtain, because facing an enemy that cannot be defeated, demons usually choose to self-destruct their core, so that their spiritual hun will be rejected by the main world, return to the abyss plane, and then a new demonic genius will be born again. Although the newly born demon has no past memories, it is better than complete death or falling into the hands of human mages.
Through the conclusion given by the Book of Summoning, Donald simply calculated and concluded that the complete core of about 300 little demons could be combined into the power of the summoned heroes' spiritual hun. This efficiency is dozens of times that of killing orcs to collect spiritual hun fragments!!!
