With his feet stepping on the hot ground, Roy carried a strange creature the size of a rabbit on his shoulders. He looked around carefully while running.
Walking through a dark forest, he carefully avoided the hanging branches of the twisted and ferocious trees, because these trees were all devil trees. Once the hanging branches were touched by a living creature, they would immediately become entangled crazily. Come up and catch prey.
Among the dark trees, there are many places with dense white spider webs. These spider webs are something that you must be careful about. When you see these spider webs, it means that you have entered the hunting range of the spider demon.
A strange cry suddenly came from above the forest. Roy quickly fell to the ground, put the strange creature he was carrying on his back, and then lay motionless.
A huge black shadow passed over him, but luckily, it didn't seem to notice Roy lying on the ground and flew straight over.
Roy was lucky. He had already planned to give up his prey. If the black shadow found him swooping down, the prey he put on his back would be caught first...
After finally avoiding all kinds of dangers, Roy finally came to a huge tree at the edge of the forest. This giant tree had long since died and decayed, but at its root, there was a large naturally formed hole. It became Roy's residence.
After arriving at the tree hole, Roy did not go in immediately. Instead, he carefully looked at the disguise he had left behind before leaving. After finding that the disguise had no trace of being tampered with, he peeled off the rotten branches and leaves at the entrance of the hole and carried it with him. Drilling in with the prey in mind.
In the cave, Roy put down the prey on his shoulders and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It has been more than a week since he came to this underground world. He has finally adapted to the life here. Although there are still many dangerous environments and species for him, he can still avoid them as long as he pays careful attention to everything.
In more than a week, Roy's biggest progress is to learn to hunt. There is no way, any living creature needs to eat to survive, Roy is no exception, but for now, he can catch The prey is quite limited.
In addition to demons living in the underground world, there are also many monsters. These monsters are equivalent to the beasts in the human world. But to be honest, just looking at the appearance, it is difficult for Roy to distinguish between lower-level demons and monsters. The difference is because according to his observations, many low-level demons act according to their physical instincts most of the time, hunting, killing, and destroying. These behavioral characteristics do not show much intelligence at all, and are no different from monsters and beasts.
In other words, IQ is low...
But low IQ does not mean that they are easy to bully. In fact, the demon clan is the ruler of this world. Even lower-level demons, when they gradually move from juvenile to adult, their bodies will become stronger and stronger. There will also be a substantial improvement, and if they can survive for a long time, they will gradually become like the top of the food chain.
If the devils in the juvenile body are only the lower-level existence, then the adult body will slowly upgrade to the lower-middle level, until finally becoming a mature body, which is the lower-level top level. Going up, if the bloodline of the devil is not too complicated , if it is relatively pure, then there might be a chance to be promoted to a mid-level demon...
Roy didn't know what the middle demon looked like, because he hadn't encountered it so far, so he had been suspecting that there was a lower world in this underground world, which could be entered through certain entrances, but Roy The current exploration scope is limited and we have not been able to find these entrances.
These are the conclusions that Roy came to while observing and guessing. Even if there are deviations, they are almost the same...
Similarly, during this period of time, Roy's body was also growing. His body became slightly stronger and his height also grew a lot. Although he still has not exceeded 1.2 meters, but in the system interface In the attribute feedback, his strength increased by 2 points, his speed increased by a little, his magic power did not increase, and his activity increased the fastest, by a full 5 points, reaching 18 points.
Strength, speed and magic energy are both easy to understand, but Roy was a little confused mainly by the attribute of activity. Based on his experience during this period, he found that activity may refer to his own vitality!
The strength of vitality represents the degree of injury one can endure, as well as the time it takes to recover after being injured...
Putting down the prey in his hands, Roy began to prepare his dinner.
Roy himself didn't know what to call the strange creature he captured, but it should be some kind of monster, and it was the larvae of the monster, because Roy saw it coming out of the ground and trying to climb up the tree. I only caught it when I was 20 years old. In my impression, it seems that only certain insects have similar behavior.
This strange monster larvae looks like a fat insect, but it has four hook-like thighs. It looks like an ant without claws, but its head is opened. A big hole, which was shot by Roy with a gun.
The revolver in Roy's hand was not upgraded by him. He just spent some time to describe and supplement the details of the gun body. Now this revolver is the same as the Colt Python revolver that Roy had seen in his memory. The appearance of the pistol was very similar, and after modifying the lines of the gun body to make the barrel straight, Roy found that even if he fired from a longer distance, he could still guarantee a certain degree of accuracy, instead of the fifty cents before. At that time, special effects only dared to be fired at close range...
As for why he didn't continue to upgrade this weapon, it was because Roy found that it was not cost-effective!
During this period of time, Roy encountered several adult lower-level demons. Although he saw them from a distance, he found that the defenses of these adult demons had been greatly improved, especially when he saw Passing by an insect-shaped lower demon, the chitin carapace covering its body actually had a shiny metallic feel. Just by visual inspection, Roy felt that it would be difficult for bullets to penetrate such a carapace.
Unless Roy is willing to spend a lot of money and consume his soul to add some attributes such as [Armor Breaking] and [Penetration] to this gun, otherwise, with such a gun alone, when encountering such a defensive demon, When the time comes, he will die an ugly death.
After realizing that pure external weapons would have limited use in the future, Roy began to change his mind and wanted to try to transform his body.
One's own strength is the real strength, especially for creatures like demons. However, it may take some time for Roy to reach adulthood. If he is evaluated according to the system, he may reach the level of That's the end of the top level. Promotion or anything like that has nothing to do with him, because his demon bloodline is so mixed. Not only him, but even most egg-laying little devils can only reach the top level at the bottom.
But now, thanks to the existence of the system, Roy has another option.
In fact, Roy could completely paint and then use his soul to exchange for human food such as braised beef Dongpo elbow to eat instead of risking the danger like he does now to go hunting, but he still did it without hesitation. The reason He is currently accumulating souls, and his next plan to transform his body will require a large amount of souls.
The hunted monsters also have souls, but their quality is not high. The quality of the soul seems to be linked to the intelligence possessed by the species during its lifetime. The higher the intelligence, the richer the emotions, and the quality of the soul formed after death. The higher it is, the more souls it can accommodate. The souls that Roy can get now are all relatively low-grade, so the only thing is that the quality is not enough and the quantity has to be used.
In more than a week, Roy captured four prey and obtained four soul light groups, but they were much smaller than the four-eyed little devil he got before. But even so, Roy felt that it was almost enough. used.
Holding back his psychological discomfort, Roy ate the insect monster. He didn't dare to light a fire to roast cooked food to eat because he was worried that the smell of roasted food would attract powerful enemies, which would turn out to be bloody. Don't worry too much about the smell, because the smell of blood is everywhere in this forest...
Before you have the capital to protect yourself, you have to be timid...
After the hunger in his belly disappeared, Roy summoned the system interface and began his first body transformation.
