Roy originally wanted to stay here and wait to see when the old demon would return, but he did not expect that he would wait for seven days.
Of course, seven days was just an estimate. Roy was not sure how long it would be, but it was quite long.
During this period, Roy discovered that the opening of the altar was not occasional. On the contrary, the frequency of its opening was quite high!
The magic formation on the altar would emit a faint light every once in a while, and then all kinds of scents would come from the void.
After this phenomenon happened many times, Roy gradually understood that every time the magic formation was activated, someone was communicating with the Abyss and offering sacrifices in an attempt to summon demons. However, it was rare to see high-quality souls like the first time. The scents of sacrifices in the void were mostly filled with the smell of blood.
Roy guessed that this might be the sacrifice used by the summoner. It was only blood or internal organs that caused this situation.
However, although the smell of blood could also attract demons, it was far less attractive than souls. After all, in the Abyss, demons were also hunting for blood, and they had smelled enough blood.
Therefore, when the summoner offered such a sacrifice, it generally could not attract powerful demons. Only some monsters or weaker demons would come. Moreover, this was only if the smell of blood was thick enough. If the smell of blood was not thick enough, even the monsters would disdain it. This would cause the magic formation to quickly dim after activating for a while.
This was the failure of the summoning …
In addition to the lack of attraction of the sacrifice, the activation time of the magic formation was too short. Not long after the aura of the sacrifice came out, it was cut off because the magic formation shut down. During this period of observation, Roy found that there were quite a few similar summoning failures.
If communicating with the magic formation also required magic power, then this situation was very likely caused by the summoner's lack of magic power …
This made Roy vaguely realize that most people who wanted to summon demons were probably dabblers! Not only did they have low magic power, but they did not even know what demons really wanted!
Of course, the summoners could not be blamed. Even if they were dabblers, there were still people who successfully summoned demons. At least during the time Roy was waiting, a total of twelve monsters and three little demons stepped into the magic formation after being attracted and successfully teleported away. The three little demons, in particular, might have been hatched in the same batch as Roy. Roy had skipped the long growth period because he used the T-Virus and directly entered the mature body one step ahead of time. The other little demons could not do the same, and they had to grow obediently.
However, during the growth period, it was usually more difficult for little demons to hunt and survive. Therefore, there were little demons wandering here, attracted by the smell of blood, and responded to the summoning. It was the same for the monsters that were attracted. It was precisely because these weak demons and monsters occasionally responded to the summoning that led to the existence of the 'success rate' of demon summoning …
Needless to say, dabblers who failed to summon demons might think that they had grasped the trick of summoning because of this success, so they recorded their method and spread it out, causing people to become more and more distorted in their methods of summoning demons …
After all, there were definitely not many people who truly understood the Abyss of the Demon World.
From this, it could be inferred that the summoner who used high-quality souls to attract demons and even made the demons fight to determine the victor was a demon summoner who truly knew the ropes! He just did not know what the world of the demon summoner was like …
While Roy was waiting, some of the summoned monsters and little demons returned one after another. These returnees usually had satisfied expressions, probably because they had successfully enjoyed the offerings. But there were also some who looked very miserable. After returning, they were covered in wounds, and it was not uncommon for them to lose arms or legs. These injured were probably from encountering powerful enemies. Although they managed to escape with their lives, with their injuries, they probably would not be able to live long in the Abyss of the Demon World. Soon, they would become the priority prey of other demons and monsters …
Roy could not help but kill two injured low-rank demons. However, the souls he harvested were actually displayed as' incomplete low-level souls' in the system!
This meant that these demons might have lost a part of their souls due to injuries during the summoning process!
What's going on? Roy secretly rejoiced that he had not rashly run into the magic formation. He had not expected this situation at all.
He felt that he should wait until the old demon returned and take a look because, like Araniya, that old demon had already mastered the demon language and could communicate with him. Moreover, looking at how skilled he was when entering the magic formation, he had probably responded to the summoning more than once. He definitely knew what this demon summoning was.
As for how to communicate with this old demon, he could only take one step at a time.
On the seventh day, a black dot appeared in the magic formation without warning. The black dot rapidly expanded, and a portal appeared. Then a huge figure appeared in the magic formation.
The old demon finally appeared, but as soon as he appeared, his huge body immediately fell into the magic formation with a loud bang. The volcanic ash on the inner wall of the volcano rustled down with this huge tremor.
The old demon's situation looked quite miserable. It could be said that it was the worst situation Roy had seen during this time!
One of the demon horns on his head was completely broken, and the purple blood flowing out dyed his entire face into a blur. The stone hammer weapon in his hand was gone, probably lost. His tail was broken, and the thick scales all over his body were covered with hundreds of wounds of various sizes. The most serious was a two-meter-long wound on his abdomen. It was as though someone had directly cut open his abdomen with a sharp weapon, and even his internal organs fell out and fell in a pile on the ground …
Roy was shocked when he saw the old demon's miserable appearance. This guy actually came back alive with such fatal injuries?!
He was certain that this old demon had definitely experienced a fierce battle when he was summoned. But his injuries made it convenient for Roy to communicate with him, so Roy climbed down from the inner wall of the volcano and came to the altar.
In fact, the old demon had already struggled to climb out of the range of the magic formation on the altar. He probably thought that if he didn't climb out quickly, what would happen if someone summoned another demon at this time? What would he do if he stayed in the formation and was summoned again? He was already so injured. If he was summoned again, there would really be no saving him …
After he climbed out of the range of the magic formation, he naturally noticed Roy approaching him immediately. Although the old demon's face was covered in blood, he still threatened Roy fiercely.
He thought that Roy was here to pick up scraps, so of course, he would not be nice to him.
But although he was fierce, he could not help but reveal a tremor in his roar, revealing the uneasiness in his heart.
Of course, Roy could hear it, so he did not waste any time. As soon as he came up, he said to him in the demon language, "Answer … my … question. Otherwise, you … die!"
There were very few demons who could communicate with him, so Roy was not very proficient in the demon language. But the advantage of using the soul language of demons was that he could quickly let the other party know what he wanted to express.
While speaking, Roy scratched his claws on the hard stone slab on the ground. Although he did not leave a scratch, sparks flew from the stone slab amidst the sizzling sounds. He used this method to prove that he now had the ability to easily kill the old demon.
