As the light of the magic formation lit up, Julia, Benia, and Cassandra, who was hugging Sareth, appeared one after another.
Seeing Roy, Julia heaved a sigh of relief. "Darling, it's great that you're fine. When I returned, you suddenly disappeared. I was worried for a while."
"Okay, I'm fine!" Roy replied. "Perhaps because of the increase in my rank, I directly teleported from a Gate of the Abyss to a lower world. I called you over after settling down."
"Where is this?" Benia looked at the surrounding environment curiously, but she could not see too clearly in the white snowstorm.
"My territory!" Roy grinned. "From now on, I'm a true 'demon lord'!"
Benia understood what he meant and immediately said excitedly, "So that's how it is. Is this the world of the strong where demon lords are?"
Roy released Fat Tiger and Rafaro at this moment. Seeing them all looking at this new world excitedly, Roy said, "There are a few things you have to pay attention to. Don't get close to the edge of this world. There are spatial faults there, and without the protection of powerful magic power and space magic, it's very dangerous. It might cause your body to be separated from space, or you might accidentally break into other worlds. But at the same time, you might also be swept into spatial turbulence! Because not every fault plane is safe. "
Julia and the others listened and nodded, indicating that they understood.
"So I suggest that you start learning space magic. There are many fragmented spaces in this level of the Abyss. Just in case, it's better to learn some space magic." Roy continued. "In addition, we still don't know if this territory is connected to the territories of other demon lords, so we have to set up sentries!"
"Then we need manpower, a lot of manpower!" Benia said. "But even so, I'm afraid we can't monitor all the entrances and exits."
"It doesn't matter. We don't need to monitor all of them!" Roy said. "I'll summon some low-level demons and use this volcano to build a palace. At that time, we only need to set up sentries outside the palace."
Hearing that Roy planned to build a city here, Julia could not help but rejoice. "Then there's no problem. To be honest, I was worried that you would build a city on an icy plain. Although we're resistant to the cold, it won't work for a long time. We can't compare to a frost demon like you."
Roy took out a portion of souls as bait, connected the summoning formation to a certain altar in the upper level of the Abyss, and began summoning low-level demons.
This kind of summoning was different from summoning demons to fight in other worlds. If they participated in war, it was very easy for low-level demons to hunt souls on the battlefield, so they did not need too many bait or sacrifices. But now, Roy was only building a city in his territory, and there was no war to speak of, so he naturally had to provide corresponding compensation.
Of course, as a demon lord, although he could not provide anything and directly order and enslave low-level demons, this method would not last long. It had to be known that even low-level demons were intelligent creatures and had thoughts. After a long time, low-level demons would either die due to lack of food or escape due to the burden.
Roy was not a tyrannical demon lord, so he naturally would not use this method of exhausting the goose that lays the golden eggs.
While Roy was summoning demons, Rafaro was circling high in the sky, curiously looking at the environment below. As a creature created by Roy, he did not suffer any rejection in the Abyss. But it was his first time coming to the legendary Abyss, so he naturally had to satisfy his curiosity.
In the world of Ashan, many races feared and feared the world where demons lived. They called it Hell, and they tried their best to imagine a terrifying world and environment. But in fact, no one had seen the world where demons lived with their own eyes. All the legends and descriptions were delusions and did not count at all.
The environment of this fragment world that Roy chose was also very harsh. The ice and snow of -100 degrees Celsius was indeed a terrifying environment that ordinary people could not survive in. But it was fine for Rafaro. In the frost magic that Roy used, Rafaro had felt temperatures lower than here. Moreover, his current half-biological and half-mechanical body did not feel too much cold.
Rafaro swam in the sky and patrolled his territory for Roy. The land here was tens of thousands of square kilometers, comparable to some small countries in Ashan. But strangely, after wandering for so long, Rafaro did not find any living creatures on the surface. This territory was completely dead silent.
Rafaro had planned to report this situation to Roy and express his doubts, but as soon as he returned, he saw that damn titan hellhound lying at the crater of the volcano and playing with an incomparably huge worm …
Although they were considered companions, Rafaro did not have a good feeling about Fat Tiger. The reason was that when Rafaro was still a spectral dragon, Fat Tiger had coveted his dragon bones more than once, which had always annoyed Rafaro. Even though he had been reborn in this Sky Dragon body, the memories of that time still existed in his soul.
At this moment, Fat Tiger was lying at the crater of the volcano, and his three heads looked curiously at the demon worm poking out of the magma.
At first, the demon worm was a little afraid because it smelled Roy's aura from Fat Tiger. Moreover, Fat Tiger's rank was higher than its, so when Fat Tiger first appeared, it planned to retreat into the magma. But it did not expect Fat Tiger to bring it out before it could completely retreat.
Fat Tiger seemed to have discovered a new toy and excitedly circled around the demon worm at the crater. As long as the demon worm wanted to retreat, it would be bitten and dragged out. After a few times, the demon worm did not dare to retreat anymore.
Seeing that the demon worm did not dare to move, Fat Tiger curiously leaned forward and sized up the demon worm with his three heads. Then … he stuck out his tongue and licked the demon worm one by one.
The demon worm was lucky because after licking it, Fat Tiger's three heads came to the same conclusion: This guy is not delicious!
It was precisely because of this conclusion that the demon worm escaped a calamity. But just because it was not delicious did not mean it was not fun. Fat Tiger thought about it and suddenly rushed forward. His three heads bit the demon worm's body and then pulled it back.
Rumbling sounds came, and the ground trembled. Fat Tiger dragged the demon worm out of the magma, and its body continued to slide out of the magma. Its fear made it subconsciously twist its body, and its enormous body smashed into the ground, causing it to tremble.
Not to mention Julia and the others, even Roy looked at this scene dumbfounded. Fat Tiger bit the demon worm's head and ran forward happily. In the blink of an eye, the demon worm was dragged out for two kilometers like a rope, and from the looks of it, it was still extending.
"This … This …" Benia had a creepy expression as she pointed at the demon worm. "This thing … how long is it?!"
When they saw Rafaro's nearly one-kilometer-long body, they were already very surprised. But they did not expect that a middle-rank demon worm would be even longer than Rafaro! What kind of damned environment could give birth to such a monster?
After the demon worm was dragged into the icy plain, it had always wanted to resist. It felt very uncomfortable in this cold environment, but Fat Tiger's current strength was rather terrifying, and the demon worm could not resist at all. In the end, Fat Tiger dragged it five kilometers away before it finally completely escaped the magma!
The electronic eye on Rafaro's forehead measured the exact length of the demon worm and reported to Roy, "5,122 meters!"
"So long?!" Benia was shocked. She turned to Roy and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid there's some foreign object under this icy plain!"
"Foreign object?" Roy was puzzled.
"Yes. As far as I know, demon worms are actually very ferocious monsters. Their mouthparts can easily crush hard rocks, so they can travel underground. In the upper levels of the Abyss, in addition to preying on some weak demons or monsters for meat, they usually supplement their food with ores!" Benia said. "This demon worm has clearly mutated, and the mutations of demons or monsters are usually caused by some kind of stimulation. I suspect that there's some special ore underground that this demon worm has been devouring for a long time to cause this result."
"… Makes sense!" Roy thought for a moment and felt that Benia was right. Then he thought of something and said, "Say, with its enormous body and traveling underground all year round, do you think it's already hollowed out? If that's the case, doesn't that mean that there are many holes under the surface? "
Julia and the others looked at each other and nodded. "It's very likely so."
"Then, should we go down and take a look?" Rafaro lowered his head from the sky. "I didn't find any creatures on this icy plain. Could these creatures have hidden underground?"
"No rush!" Roy thought for a moment. "This is the next step. Let's build the city first. When the time comes, we'll have to let the demon worm lead the way …"
