Slave Seal
If it was said that every cave abode in the level-three passageway was a small room, then the cave abodes in the level-four passageway could only be considered as a large shop.
This was a reflection of one's strength and rank.
The Demon Dweller scouts who lived in the small rooms in the Level Three passageway were clearly of higher status and strength.
The fourth level tunnels, on the other hand, could only live in a single room. Naturally their status was lower and their strength weaker.
The cave that Ye Xuan entered was about two hundred square meters in size. It was empty in the middle, and there was only a huge platform with teleportation runes on it. It should be used to hand in the spoils of war, as well as to receive rewards and daily consumables.
Around the walls, there were some metal partitions that extended out from the walls.
The space between every two partitions was a semi-open, independent small space. In addition to a bed, there was also a small table and a chair.
There were a total of forty or so of these semi-open rooms scattered along the walls of the cave abode, but they were all basically empty. Only the area furthest away from the entrance of the cave abode was occupied by six demon scouts.
At this time, some of the six Devil Cultivators were lying on the bed, some were sitting cross-legged on the bed with their eyes closed, and some were sitting on a small stool beside the bed, taking inventory of some items.
Seeing Ye Xuan enter, the six Demons only raised their eyes to glance at him before ignoring him. They were still doing what they were supposed to do.
Ye Xuan had long since suppressed his power to second level Core, similar to these six. Otherwise, the sudden appearance of an eighth level demon in the fourth level tunnels would have caused an uproar.
It was clear that anyone who wanted to live in these bunks was free to do as they pleased. Most of the demonkin scouts were out on missions or mining, and didn't spend much time on the Black Mosquito Bastion. Who would have the time or energy to remember where their bunks were?
Ye Xuan didn't bat an eyelid as he walked towards the inner area of the cave where the six fellows were.
They didn't pay him any attention. After all, this was normal. If there was space inside, who would want to choose a place near the entrance?
Although it was half open, as long as it was possible, anyone would subconsciously try to make their personal space as private and quiet as possible!
Perhaps these six fellows were still dreaming that they would be able to enter the Level 3 passageway and live in the Level 3 cave abodes with small compartments after their strength increased.
Unfortunately, they would never have that chance.
"Hum …"
A weak buzzing sound rang out.
When Ye Xuan was only a dozen meters away from the six, he made his move without warning.
As he activated the Spirit Source Core in his head with all his might, a wave of majestic Spirit Energy suddenly gushed out from his body. It was like a rolling river, covering the sky and covering the earth. In an instant, it completely enveloped the six Demon Dweller scouts.
This time, Ye Xuan didn't even bother to include a few strands of the human cultivator's consciousness in his psychic power. They were just six weaklings. With his strength as a Level 8 Core Ream, he could easily crush them with just the mental strength of the Demonkin.
In fact, it was indeed so.
In the face of Ye Xuan's psychic storm, the six demon scouts, who were only first or second level Core Realm, were instantly obliterated. Blood flowed out of their seven orifices, and they completely lost all signs of life.
"Seems like I used too much force …"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan was speechless. He was a little worried that the psychic power would shatter the six demon scouts' heads.
Fortunately, this worry was completely unnecessary. A minute later, six small black prismatic crystals appeared in Ye Xuan's palm. They were taken from the six demon scouts' heads.
As for the corpses, with his current strength, although he couldn't put a Starry Sky Rank powerhouse into the Undying World in his body, he didn't have any restrictions on corpses that had no signs of life.
Ye Xuan had already secretly experimented with this after killing the Black Tower Warden. If it wasn't for this, he might not have dared to make such a decision. He actually treated the second floor of the Black Mosquito Ship, the Demon Dweller's cave, as his own hunting paradise!
"Ding! Discovered a psychic power core. Would you like to decompose it and extract its source?"
As Ye Xuan put the six demon cores into his body, the notification from the devouring system sounded immediately. After giving a confirmation, Ye Xuan turned and left the cave, beginning to search for the next batch of prey.
… …
Time passed slowly. Three days had passed without him noticing.
In these three days, Ye Xuan rejoiced countless times that he finally decided to stay on the Black Mosquito Ship and enter the second level of the Demonkin's cave to hunt.
Compared to the time when he was searching for demon scouts outside, even the most fruitful time he'd ever been, he'd only killed three demon powerhouses. For Ye Xuan, these three days were like a beggar who'd suddenly fallen into a bountiful gold mine.
In these three days, the total number of demon cores he'd collected was a terrifying 947!
On average, it was more than three hundred cores a day!
In other words, over three hundred demon scouts had disappeared from the cave every day, dying at the hands of Ye Xuan. Their brains were cut open, and Ye Xuan tossed to the devouring system to extract their source of psychic power. As for their corpses … they were all thrown into his Undying World!
Nearly a thousand demon scouts. This was already a tenth of the total number of demons guarding the Black Mosquito Ship.
Although there were many demons entering and exiting the second level of the cave every day, no one could find out who had died or left.
However, with a tenth of the demon scouts suddenly gone, if one paid attention, one could more or less see that something was amiss.
Usually, there were around two thousand Demon Dwellers in this area. Sometimes, there would be more, and sometimes less.
But now, after Ye Zhuan's frenzied hunt, there were at most a thousand demon scouts left here. More than seventy percent of the level four caves were empty, and they couldn't find a single demon after going through several level four tunnels.
This situation caused even Ye Xuan to faintly feel that something was wrong.
If this continued, and some demon sensed that something was wrong, they'd report it to their superiors. When that happened, they'd be in real trouble.
With all this in mind, Ye Xuan decided to stop for now and wait a few days to see what would happen. At the very least, he'd have to wait for the demon population in this area to slowly recover a little.
It was also at this moment that the notification of the Devouring System sounded in his mind.
"Ding! All demon cores have been decomposed! Spiritual power source has begun to feed back! Progress 1 … Progress 10 … "
