After hearing Zhao Xu's instructions, the demon-hunting spider couldn't help but feel the trembling from its soul. It said tremblingly: "Okay, please follow me."
Then it consciously moved its eight limbs and took the initiative to clear the way for Zhao Xu. However, it was not very particular about the route. All kinds of cobwebs were entangled and viscous liquid dropped from the ceiling.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu had the protection of the "Freedom of Movement" spell, so he would not be disturbed by the entanglement effect of the spider web at all, and he smoothly followed the demon-hunting spider in front of him throughout the process.
"How many years have you been watching here?" Zhao Xu suddenly asked curiously.
"About five hundred years." The demon-hunting spider replied. It still walked quickly, and its telepathy ability accurately conveyed its will.
Zhao Xu frowned slightly.
The alien creatures seem to be immortal, but it also means that there is no way to escape such as the end of life, let alone retirement.
If there is no strange disturbance, the other guard will never be able to tell for the rest of his life. This is also a kind of permanent life imprisonment.
It's really the most standard and cruel working devil. It's not much better than a skeleton zombie that's like a perpetual motion machine and doesn't get tired.
"How many new spider populations are usually cultivated here?" Zhao Xu continued.
The demon-hunting spider telepathically replied, "There are no less than a dozen places similar to the Spider Queen, and I don't know the details. However, the new species here are regularly transferred by wax-melting demon envoys."
"Are you easy to talk to?" Zhao Xu was surprised, "Did you really feel the power of the hammer of justice in my hand at that time?"
If these demons in the abyss were simply afraid of death, they would be easier to deal with.
Taking advantage of weaknesses and then amplifying them to achieve control is the key method used by mages to manipulate people's hearts.
The real headache is that the nature of "chaos" is elusive.
Just like "a gentleman can bully others," the actions of the lawful camp can at least be inferred according to the rules.
But the devil of chaos may have a hundred solutions to the same problem.
One moment he was submissive, the next moment he was punching hard.
There is no official correct answer at all.
The demon-hunting spider bent his knees slightly and said slowly: "Although I can feel the power of magic, I can't clearly understand the specific scale. What really made me surrender was the power of will penetrated by your spell, which contains The breath of the ancient abyss naturally makes me feel the oppression of the superiors, and I dare not rebel."
Strength of will
Breath of the abyss
Zhao Xu's eyes were slightly sharp.
He recalled that these abyss demons were actually able to honestly throw themselves into bloody battles and die, which was more of their submission to the "Abyss Lord".
Unless they meet another Pit Lord, the price of betrayal is too great for them to bear.
Now, the other party is actually able to do it for him, and it is also because of an abyss lord.
Doesn't that mean that after his trip to the "bottomless realm" at the bottom of the abyss, he was finally exposed to the real "power of the abyss".
It's not because he is charming, tall and handsome.
Now just the aftermath of his spell seeps out, causing a demon-hunting spider with a challenge level of 10 to succumb. Once it is actually released, won't it affect the entire area
A demon-hunting spider with an intelligence of 11 cannot react, but a Balor Balrog with an intelligence of nearly 20, coupled with the mark of being favored by the abyss, is likely to react directly. They face It's an abyss lord!
But behind these Balor Fire Demons, there is an abyss lord standing.
Like a priest to a god.
Doesn't this mean that he can't barely cast spells on Balor Fire Demon in the near future
Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the entire problem.
Although the Barlow Fire Demon of the Abyss belongs to the high-level demon order and cannot be seen at all times, there are still quite a few!
The only good thing is that the Spider Queen Rose is more enamored of the Waxmelting Demon, and her status is higher than that of the Balor Fire Demon, so Zhao Xu meets some special messengers, who are more likely to be the Waxmelting Demon.
"Is there a high frequency of demons appearing in that teleportation location?" Zhao Xu asked out of caution.
The Demon Hunting Spider nodded, "The Spider Queen's attendant, Mr. Wax Melt Demon Wiggs, will arrive there from time to time to inspect the recent cultivation of spiders and select good products from them for donation."
Forehead.
This may be really difficult to handle.
Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed slightly. He had heard of magical demons like the "Wax Melting Demon" before.
Before going down into the abyss, he knew the specific panel values clearly, but he didn't read too much about the source of the background.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu directly used his knowledge (plane skills)!
[Adventurer Zhongxia, you perform the knowledge (plane) skill to retrieve the Wax Melting Demon, the test is successful, and the ladder information obtained is as follows—]
[Level 20 information: Waxmelt Demon serves the drow goddess Rose as a maid and receives her favor and protection.]
[Level 25 information: The wax-melting demon has the ability to transform and can switch between a green cloud, a humanoid spider, a beautiful female elf or a human, and a red-faced amorphous tentacle monster]
[Level 30 information: The Wax Melt Demon has a psychic barrier effect protection that cannot be removed. Immunity to acid, electricity, toxins. Resistant to cold, fire, and damage from non-good weapons]
[Level 35 information: Waxmelt Demon has a large number of spell-like abilities, including controlling humanoid creatures and reading corresponding thoughts]
Forehead.
Zhao Xu looked at the four retrieved messages with a dull expression.
When did the knowledge and skill system become so water-filled? What we actually got was the ability information of the Wax Melting Demon.
He has known this stuff for a long time, and Qi still has that kind of extremely comprehensive and detailed ability.
The description is so vague, the green cloud state is not the "vaporized form", the human female is not the "humanoid form", the spider appearance is not the "spider form", these are the supernatural abilities of the Wax Melting Demon.
As for the amorphous tentacle monster, this is the original mentality of the wax melt monster.
The so-called magic-like skills include detecting thoughts, controlling humans, darkness, blasphemy, advanced teleportation, spider walking, stone shaping, and spider web.
He even knew that if the opponent turned into a humanoid form, he would be naked, and he would usually prepare armor and weapons before entering this state.
And they will tend to use this state in the main material plane.
But it is also because of the equipment. Unless these waxmelt monsters can hide their equipment, they will not switch to other forms.
Unless you are unable to use advanced teleportation to escape, you will turn into a gaseous form to escape, or you will use your true form to complete the kill if you feel victory is inevitable.
Generally speaking, a wax-melting demon with the ability to control humans will not lack followers, and it is not difficult to help transfer equipment during battles.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu continued to gather information on the demon-hunting spider beside him while walking, "You are in the abyss, do you know the background of this wax melting demon?"
The Demon Hunting Spider replied, "These Waxmelt Demons usually appear alone in the places of worship of Spider Queen Rose. They represent the Spider Queen's advisors, assassins, and lovers to some extent."
"For us or those admirers of the Spider Queen, these maids are Rose's agents. Compared with demons like us who need to hunt on our own, demons like Waxmelt can survive in most drow societies. Get everything they want, whatever they ask for."
Oh, he is really a born emperor.
"Will there be a situation in the brigade?" Zhao Xu asked back.
With such a close relationship, I feel that the Waxmelt Demon is not nearly as powerful as the Balor Fire Demon, but its level is not that different.
A typical minister of the emperor, it is not a big problem for him to output physical output for one or two seconds without revealing the details.
I was afraid that if I encountered a large group, the news would be leaked.
The demon-hunting spider nodded, "It is indeed possible. At that time, they acted as guards. Because of the Spider Queen's favor, they were more likely to work part-time. They often had the levels of poet, priest or warlock. I once saw one There is a wax-melting demon that is the messenger of Lolth in the Pit of the Demonic Network. It is also a level 13 poet, influencing Arthur's country on behalf of Lolth."
"This really makes me more curious." Zhao Xu said with emotion.
Vaguely, he seemed to be aware of the mysterious meaning behind the "Waxmelt Demon", a demon with a basic challenge level of no more than level 8.
It seems that it is not a natural product of the abyss.
The next moment, Zhao Xu gathered his energy slightly and slowly let his thoughts go, as if his invisible soul was about to escape from his body.
At this time, when he was in the "Bottomless Realm", he learned a special technique that allowed him to sense the "Abyss Scroll" to the maximum extent, and then feel its contents through the communication of consciousness.
Essentially, this is also a knowledge and skill test, but the target direction is the "Abyss Scroll" rather than the "source of knowledge".
In an instant, Zhao Xu's mind felt as if a meteor shower was piercing the night sky. Countless stars flashed up and turned into a rain of light all over the sky, dotting it continuously, telling Zhao Xu -
Everything about the Waxmelt Demon.
Zhao Xu's eyes gradually became brighter.
I see.
At this moment, he became more wary of Rose!
Actually, the Waxmelt Demon is a model of the special demon race in the Abyss
In other words, they are a few demons that were transformed from the most basic tanar'ri demons by gods for special purposes.
Once upon a time, after Rose came to the abyss, she captured those succubi, and then gradually changed them into the shape of waxmelt demons!
Even this process is still a curious secret among countless abyss lords.
Everyone wants to know how it is done, and the abyss lords also want to master this method to transform a demon army of their own.
Because the Waxmelt Demons essentially have no connection with their "source" succubus.
It can be said that it is an independent and unique devil in every aspect.
Even to some extent, they themselves are the source.
The original versions of demons created by the Abyss were the "Obyris Demons", and they existed even before human history.
Then in the ancient battle in the Abyss Plains, the "Tanar'ri Demon" once again took the place of the current beloved one of the Abyss.
This period of history was what Zhao Xu knew when he first listened to the whispers of the abyss in the bottomless realm.
In essence, that war was the shadow of the battle between Chaos and Order.
Since then, the original demon, the demon-hunting spider, and the Balor Balrog are all evolutionary branches of the "Tanar'ri Demon". As long as an abyss lord is willing, he can use the power of the lord given to them by the abyss at any time to promote him.
From the Coward Demon to the Balor Fire Demon, it is essentially just a thought of the abyss lords.
But the "Wax Melt Demon" is different.
Theoretically, this "Waxmelt Demon" is a brand new demon system that can continue to evolve and evolve like the "Tanar'ri Demon".
It was only limited by Rose's own ability that she did not change into thousands of types, and she just took the route of part-time strengthening.
"What level is the wax-melting demon that arrived here?" Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
The demon-hunting spider replied: "It has not undergone any evolution, it is the most ordinary version."
"Then you're afraid of it too?"
Zhao Xu was a little curious. The abyss was a place where there was no order. There was no concept of obeying superiors at all. It was completely based on whoever had the biggest fist.
Once the fist weakened, that was the moment of betrayal and backstabbing, but he actually heard the extremely fearful meaning of this demon-hunting spider.
The Demon Hunting Spider also continued to say bitterly: "My lord, the Wax Melt Demon is happy to dominate and cruelly torture other creatures, even if it is a demon opposite. The demon in the abyss knows deeply that Queen Spider Rose will protect his maid."
"Is this true even in other planes?" Zhao Xu was curious.
"Yes, any demon who dares to resist the Wax Melt Demon will be visited by the Spider Queen's more powerful subordinates, including the drow goddess herself."
"That's why the demons of the abyss hate and fear them."
Zhao Xu's interest was even greater, and he felt as if he had come into contact with a brand new toy, "Isn't there a betrayal within the wax melt demon?"
Sometimes, a team of vrogs led by one Balor Balrog may be more powerful than a team of vlo demons led by two Balor Balrogs.
While the demons bully their subordinates, they are also afraid of counterattacks from their opponents at the same level around them, because they are obstacles to their continued climb.
The Demon Hunting Spider was confused and said, "There seems to be no competition between the Wax Melt Demons. I have seen rivers where more than one Wax Melt Demon appeared, and they all cooperated without any regrets. For me, the company of companions is a source of pleasure and joy.”
Are they actually demons who won’t cheat on each other’s teammates
In an instant, Zhao Xu's footsteps froze again.
His nearly explosive "detection" skill told him that there was an inexplicable creature in the shadows ahead.
At this time, a cold smile came from inside.
"It also missed the point that the Wax Melt Demons in the main material world are good at causing harm and using murder and conspiracy to spread the source of evil and chaos. And relying on their humanoid form and charm, they can often blend into it, and I have made many friends.”
"Unfortunately, demons will always be demons, even their lovers will not stop betraying them."
Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
In the shadows, there was a homeless man lying slumped on the ground.
