As he began to compress his magic power, some special changes gradually appeared in his body.
The most obvious was his feet. He did not know what was going on, but every time Roy walked on the ground, he would leave a black frost footprint the same size as the soles of his feet on the ground!
Especially when he walked on the relatively hot ground, the frost footprints would evaporate with the heat of the ground, bringing out a lingering mist.
This phenomenon was very strange because Roy was certain that he did not deliberately focus his magic power on his feet. But even so, he still could not control it when he walked and would leave a series of frost footprints. It usually took five to six minutes for them to slowly dissipate.
It was like … instinct. Roy studied it and felt that it was probably related to his frost demon bloodline. Perhaps the gradually condensing magic power had stimulated the changes in his demon bloodline. Moreover, from the looks of it, as the magic power continued to compress, the frost footprints would become more obvious in the future, and the frost footprints would exist for a longer time.
In addition to the frost footprints, another special change was that Roy felt a sense of pressure on him.
This pressure was exactly the same as what he had felt on Xeron. It seemed to be able to intimidate and suppress low-level demons. In the past, Roy had always thought that this pressure was brought about by the high-rank demon bloodline, but now that he felt this pressure, he realized that he was wrong. This pressure was actually caused by stronger and more condensed magic power!
This made Roy even more convinced that he was on the right path to promote to high-rank demon …
The pressure emanating from his body was still relatively weak. This was because his magic power compression had yet to be completed, so the other middle-rank demons in the same level of the Abyss could not feel it. But if they went to the upper level of the Abyss, the low-rank demons might feel it more clearly.
In the next two months, Roy spent most of his time in his lair, constantly compressing and training his magic power. This was a relatively long-term process because it would become more and more difficult to compress his magic power to the second half. Roy did not dare to slack off, so he handed the task of mining gold to Fat Tiger.
In these two months, a soul would suddenly teleport out from time to time. Needless to say, it was definitely from the Pirates of the Caribbean world because someone had died near the gold engraved with the Osiris Mark.
In just two months, Roy had collected more than seventy such scattered souls. Among them, there was a wave of fifteen souls that were teleported over together. He did not know if someone had started a war for the gold again …
The attribute that Roy set on the Osiris Mark was to teleport souls near the gold. This meant that even if someone did not die because of the gold's curse of misfortune, as long as they died within the gold's range, their soul would be captured by the Osiris Mark.
Therefore, even though Roy had spent five thousand souls to create the Osiris Mark, it was very worth it because the mark was the kind of investment that would bring lifelong benefits.
Since he saw the benefits, it was naturally impossible for Roy to let it go. He had already regarded the huge gold mine as his private property and got Fat Tiger to mine it every day.
Poor Fat Tiger had completely become a laborer during this period of time. He went out early and returned late every day. Not only did he have to drag the heavy gold ore back, but he also had to constantly squeeze out his magic power and spit out hellfire to smelt the demon gold.
Fortunately, Roy felt sorry for him. Every time he came back, Roy would prepare a feast for him. Not only did he eat until he was full, but there were also many souls for him to replenish his magic power. From time to time, when Roy stopped cultivating and had nothing to do, he would bring Fat Tiger along and rub him crazily …
Therefore, in these two months, not only did Roy's magic power training bear fruit, but even Fat Tiger had become much stronger. In the system interface, Fat Tiger's attributes had improved a lot, and he was already at the level of a middle-rank demon.
In fact, because Fat Tiger was born from Gabriel's soul fragment, the holy souls of angels were the greatest improvement to Fat Tiger! Ordinary souls had a much smaller improvement effect, and it was all thanks to Roy's continuous feeding that he could grow to this extent.
Now, Fat Tiger's body was more than 2.6 meters long, and when he stood on the ground, he was almost 1.7 meters tall. His muscles bulged all over his body, and his sharp fangs and claws were sharpened from mining. Hellflames would occasionally erupt from his body, making him look so majestic. As long as a demon lived in the Abyss, anyone who saw Fat Tiger would think that he was an elite hellhound and an outstanding one.
On this day, as usual, Fat Tiger dragged back a cart of ore from the gold mine early in the morning. After piling it up in the lair, Fat Tiger bit the rope and dragged the cart that Roy had made back to the vault.
However, before Fat Tiger could continue digging the gold mine with his claws, his three heads sniffed in confusion at the same time.
Fat Tiger's sense of smell was very sensitive, and he found that there was an unfamiliar smell in the air of the mine. Not only did it have the smell of sulfur and flames, but it also had a fishy smell.
When he realized that other demons had appeared in the mine, Fat Tiger immediately became alert. He bent down, sniffed the source of the smell, and quietly searched for it.
Hellhounds had always been hunter-like existences in the Abyss. Their beast forms and the pads on their feet made them very good at sneak attacks. Even though Fat Tiger looked huge, he could not make any sound when he moved. As long as the demon that broke into the mine was not a hellhound, it would be difficult for the other party to discover him.
Yes, Fat Tiger planned to chase away this intruding demon for Master Roy first.
However, when Fat Tiger found the demon that broke in, he found that the other party was bigger than him!
This demon was an enormous spider demon, about three meters tall. Her upper body was that of a female demon. She did not have demon horns, but she had a pair of huge pincers on both sides of her mouth. Her stomach was a round and fat spider abdomen, and there was a pattern that looked like a ghost's face on the spider abdomen, supported by eight long hairy legs.
When Fat Tiger found this spider demon, he found that she was actually building a nest. The end of her abdomen was constantly spraying out transparent liquid. After this liquid came into contact with the air, it gradually turned into white spider silk. Using this spider silk, the spider demon had woven a huge web between the stalactites and stalagmites in the cave.
Seeing this, Fat Tiger was furious. Not only did Roy treat the gold mine as his private property, but Fat Tiger was no exception. Someone actually dared to build a nest in his territory?!
Suddenly emerging from the darkness, one of Fat Tiger's heads opened its mouth, and a black hellfire immediately sprayed at the spider demon!
As soon as the hellfire touched the spider web, it immediately burned it to ashes, and the spider demon on it naturally fell with a bang. She screamed and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on her body. But how could hellfire be extinguished so easily? It kept burning on her body, making crackling sounds.
"Ah!!!" After realizing that the flames could not be extinguished, the spider demon screamed and struggled to stand up. She also opened her mouth and sprayed dark green venom at Fat Tiger.
Fat Tiger leaped lightly and dodged the opponent's venom attack. But what was not good was that Fat Tiger did not expect there to be some residual spider webs on the ground in the direction he had dodged. It might have been left behind when this spider demon was building its nest. When Fat Tiger stepped on it, he was stuck, and his movements paused!
Taking advantage of this moment, the spider demon sprayed out another transparent liquid from its abdomen. This liquid turned into a huge white spider web in the air and covered Fat Tiger.
Fat Tiger was trapped and could not move for a moment. The arachne's body was still burning with hellfire, but she still moved her legs and rushed forward. Her entire body emitted a charred smell because the parts of her body that had been contaminated by the hellfire had been roasted.
The spider demon looked hatefully at Fat Tiger, who was trapped in the web, and raised a sharp long leg, preparing to kill Fat Tiger.
But at this moment, a cold air suddenly filled the air. Fat Tiger spewed out a large amount of frost under the spider web, freezing it in an instant. With a violent shake, the spider web shattered like glass!
The next second, Fat Tiger jumped up and jumped to the neck of the spider demon's upper body. Then he opened his mouth, and one of his heads bit the spider demon's neck.
With a loud bang, the two enormous creatures fell to the ground together. Fat Tiger was on all fours, but the spider demon was flipped over by Fat Tiger's strength!
His sharp teeth bit into the spider demon's neck, but he failed to kill it in one blow. After Fat Tiger landed, he wanted to shake his head violently and tear open the spider demon's neck. But he did not expect that in this crisis of survival, this spider demon would accurately predict the direction of Fat Tiger's head. The eight legs under her moved quickly, allowing her body to move with Fat Tiger, making it difficult for Fat Tiger to exert his strength.
"Spare me! I was wrong! I'll leave now! Please don't kill me! "the spider demon wailed as she moved.
She had no choice but to beg for mercy. This spider demon had only just promoted to middle-rank demon. Although she was huge, she found that the other party was even stronger than her when facing this smaller hellhound. Moreover, her vitals were restrained, so how could she not beg for mercy?
Hearing the spider demon begging for mercy, Fat Tiger thought for a while and dragged the spider demon toward the entrance of the gold mine. As soon as he moved, the spider demon could only move with him in order not to get injured.
Under normal circumstances, Fat Tiger would not kill a creature without permission because the soul would be exposed after killing the other party. Without Roy's orders, he would not devour the soul, so in a situation like this, Fat Tiger would choose to let Roy handle it.
Just like that, Fat Tiger bit a spider demon that was even larger than him and left the gold mine for Roy's lair.
When he arrived at the lair, Roy was stunned when he saw this strange scene. He did not expect Fat Tiger to be able to hunt such large prey alone.
"I beg you, let me go!" The spider demon's neck was bitten by Fat Tiger, so her face was facing down and she could not see the situation in front of her. However, she had never stopped begging. It was rare for demons to beg for mercy like this in the Abyss. After all, begging for mercy meant that she was afraid, which was not the style of demons.
But when Roy heard this voice, he vaguely felt that it was familiar, so he got Fat Tiger to let go of the spider demon.
When the spider demon raised her head, Roy felt even more familiar when he saw her human form.
"You're … Araniya?" Roy thought for a while and finally called out the spider demon's name.
The spider demon was desperately pressing on her wound to stop the bleeding. After hearing Roy's words, she could not help but be stunned. She looked at Roy carefully and asked curiously, "I'm Araniya, but who are you? Have we met before? "
