Souls were like sowing seeds, and they could always harvest some food.
Demons did not know how to farm like the devils and obtain souls from other races. Therefore, the cannon fodder of the abyss army was still from those lower creatures. Dretches were like another kind of kobold. They always liked to run around like a swarm of bees. They had the most powerful leader. They were afraid of strong enemies but liked to bully weak enemies. Finally, under the cruel law of survival of the fittest in the abyss, they gradually grew into cannon fodder that could set foot on the battlefield.
As the first layer of the abyss, the Plain of Ten Thousand Abyss was a place that was easily affected by the abyss war.
The area here was very large.
Therefore, there were a lot of cannon fodder here. Dretches were more often used as laborers, and occasionally, they would be driven to the battlefield by high-grade demons to consume the enemy's firepower. There were hundreds of millions of Dretches in the abyss, but less than 1% of them could advance from Dretches to Quasits. As for those who could advance to Flaming Demon (the low-grade form of Flame Demon), Succubus, Vrock, and Hezrou, there was less than 1 in 10,000. There were too many types of demons. In the abyss, only those who had reached the level of six-armed Marillion were considered to have entered the ranks of high-grade demons.
There was very little food on this barren plain.
Occasionally, some animals could be seen, but they had been demonized. Even the rats had dark red pupils and sharp fangs.
The newborn Dretch slowly moved forward.
The innate memory of the demon was awakening. Just like the bloodline of a sorcerer, demons would gradually master some spell-like abilities.
"Squeak!"
A little strange sound came, followed by the appearance of other Dretches.
The low perception affected its judgment. The newborn Dretch stopped and waited for the enemy to appear. Five Dretches appeared in front of it. The one with dark red skin was the leader, and the other four were the slaves it had subdued. The Dretch had the lowest level of 'Summon Demon' ability. The one with dark red skin in front of it was a Dretch that had completed its evolution.
"What is your name?"
The Dretch leader in front of it seemed to have a cunning expression. It ordered its subordinates to surround the newborn Dretch in front of it.
The newborn Dretch did not have much fear. This was not in line with the nature of a Dretch because the enemy had an obvious advantage in numbers.
It looked at the Dretch leader in front of it and said slowly in a slightly low voice, "So … Long!"
Demons needed slaves, a lot of slaves.
Any slave could be sold to others at a high price, as long as they weren't caught as slaves. The Bottomless Abyss was a very chaotic place. Night Witches and Onibabas were often seen on this plain. They were very stingy, evil, cruel, and scheming creatures. However, if you could get their promise, then they would most of the time keep it. Night Witches and Onibabas would provide slaves and servants for various powerful demons in the Abyss. Sometimes they would use Abyssal Worms as currency, but most of the time they would choose Dretches.
Over the years, the business level of the Bottomless Abyss had also been increasing.
"Sauron! Submit to me!! "
The dark red Dretch leader looked at the lone Dretch and said in the demon language, "As the servant of Fornockat, you are the servant of Fornockat! This way, we can obtain more food and power! "
The Dretch leader tried his best to convince the other party. As long as the other party agreed, they could sign a simple contract and sell it to the Onibaba.
That was how it got its power!
Sometimes, the Onibaba who traded with it would even say that it should be reincarnated as a devil instead of a demon.
"Submit?"
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the newborn's mouth, which made the Dretch named Fornockat angry. After several transactions, it had become one of the most powerful Dretches in the area, so it decided to teach the newborn a cruel lesson, and then sell it to the Onibaba as a slave.
The Dretches next to it were ready to fight. A lone enemy really stimulated their desire to fight!
"Roar!"
The first Dretch rushed over. It waved its sharp claws and wanted to cut open the enemy's stomach. But before it could get close, the enemy had already dodged its attack, and then its claws pierced its eyes and cut its throat. Blood gushed out, and the battle seemed to have just begun, but it was already over.
A row of data appeared in front of it:
"Extracting target's demon blood! … "
"You've gained 1 point of demon power! … Current body cannot absorb soul energy! … Soul energy conversion! … Feedback 10 Slaughter EXP to the body! … "
"Demon blood activated! … "
"A mutation occurred in his own body! [Dretch] form ability improved! Claws treated as + 1 natural magic weapon! "
…
Sauron stared at the enemy in front of him.
As if a force was integrated into his body, a dark red luster appeared on his sharp claws, which looked like metal. The mutation of a demon was so amazing that he completed a mutation in just a short time.
Not good!?
One of its companions died in the blink of an eye, which made Fornockat feel a little scared. The Dretch was originally a very timid creature, so it ordered, "Kill it! Let's go together! "
Two Dretches roared and rushed up.
But their leader, Fornockat, turned around and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye. It seemed that he was much faster than the other Dretches.
They were betrayed!
When the two Dretches found out that they had been tricked, they had no chance to escape. Sauron jumped gently and cut their throats with his claws.
Although his body size had changed and his attributes had decreased, his combat skills were enough to crush these Dretches!
He was not interested in wasting too much time in this place.
If he wanted to evolve into a more powerful demon form as soon as possible, he must hunt more of his kind.
"Name: Sauron.
Race: Demon.
Form: Dretch [Grade 1]
Attributes: Strength 12, Agility 10, Constitution 14, Intelligence 9, Wisdom 11, Charm 11.
Alignment: Lawful Evil. (Note: Other demons will be slightly hostile to your actions.)
Demonic Power: 3/100.
Skills: Sneak 75, Listen 50, Detect 50, Search 20.
Ability: Demon Claws (+ 1 natural magic weapon). "
…
Sauron looked at the data page in front of him for a long time before saying to himself, "So weak!"
"It's a pity that I can't give divine power and divinity. Otherwise, I can directly challenge the lower demons! Next time I create a god's avatar, I must make a body with all attributes 18 +! … "
The demon body could not absorb Slaughter EXP.
Sauron did not know why, but as a demon, he could absorb demonic power. The evolution of the Dretch's ability and future mutation were all obtained by the accumulation of demonic blood. Slaughter was the simplest way to evolve. As long as he accumulated enough demonic power, Sauron could change his body into another form.
"What a strange ability!"
He looked at his claws with a metallic luster and murmured, "The mutation and plasticity of the demonic blood! … It's completely different from other creatures' genetic abilities! … It's so easy to mutate, and even transform into another form! … I really don't know what kind of power was used to create the demons! … "
No attributes, no abilities, no skills, no divinity, no divine power …
Sauron's body, except for his soul, memories, and combat skills, did not inherit any part of his body, not even a trace of power.
Therefore, he was starting from scratch. But it was also because of this that no demon overlord could discover his secret. This demon body was like a piece of white paper. It was born from the bottomless abyss, and all its power was provided by the bottomless abyss.
Only white paper was easy to draw!
Sauron felt that his consciousness was much sharper. The demon form could not absorb Slaughter EXP, and it seemed that he could not level up like his body. After all, this was just an avatar. But it also had its own advantages. Every time he killed, he did not even need to accumulate enough power to level up. He could feel a slight improvement in his ability.
His senses were enhanced!
After killing three Dretch, he had a + 1 natural magic weapon and a slight enhancement of his senses.
The demonic blood was really amazing!
