Roy was very puzzled about the situation of the Abyss.
According to his original understanding, if the Abyss was also on a planet, then the deeper the Abyss was, the closer it was to the center of the planet, and the weaker the gravity. Although Roy was not a top student, and he had long returned his high school physics knowledge to his teacher, he still knew this conclusion.
But the current situation was that the deeper he went into the Abyss, the stronger the gravity he felt. This anti-scientific situation made Roy a little confused about what the Abyss was. Was it on a planet or in an independent space?
Fortunately, Roy was puzzled, but he did not dwell too much on it. If it was anti-science, then so be it. Anyway, he did not really expect himself to become a scientist among demons.
After landing on the ground, the feeling from the soles of his feet told him that the temperature of the ground here was much higher than that of the upper Abyss. Demons were originally more resistant to heat, but now that he stepped on the ground, he felt an unbearable heat. This made Roy wonder if he should bring forward the plan of making armor for himself. At the very least, he should make a pair of boots for his feet first.
Roy's legs were bent forward, and his feet were beast-shaped with hooked claws. When he stood, the soles of his feet were almost touching the ground, and the temperature he felt was naturally intense. On the contrary, demon hooves with cuticle covering the toes were better adapted to this environment. However, Roy had never thought of modifying his feet because demon hooves usually had reversed joints, and reversed joints were more suitable for low-posture walking, which was crawling. Compared to that, Roy preferred to stand and walk.
In addition to the dimmer light and higher temperature, the most troublesome thing here was the high gravity. Suddenly entering this high-gravity environment, Roy felt heavy all over, as though he was tied to a load of hundreds of kilograms, and even moving was a little difficult.
Of course, he knew very well that a high-gravity environment was very good for training his muscle strength. Once his body adapted to this higher and stronger burden, the energy supply from his cells to his body would also increase. This made him look forward to it. So the first thing he did after entering the middle Abyss was to adapt to the gravity environment here.
In the next four hours, Roy was not in a hurry to run far. He stayed in place and kept moving his limbs, running with Fat Tiger as they chased each other.
Speaking of which, Fat Tiger seemed to be less affected by the high gravity here. Perhaps it was because he was a four-legged creature, so his center of gravity was naturally lower and he adapted quickly.
Just as Roy was sighing, he suddenly found that his strength attribute had increased by one point on the system interface!
Huh? What was going on? Even if he could adapt to the high-gravity environment and increase his physical strength, wasn't this a little too fast? He had only been here for four hours!
After studying it carefully, Roy came to a realization. He did not expect it to be because of the T-Virus!
Because he had used the T-Virus before, in addition to optimizing his cells, it also provided him with the possibility of evolution. When the external environment changed drastically, the T-Virus would stimulate his body's cells to adapt and evolve. This way, Roy's strength attribute, which had stopped growing in the upper Abyss, increased again.
This was the benefit of the T-Virus. It allowed Roy to adapt to the environment of the middle Abyss more than ten times faster than other demons. If it were any other low-rank demon who had just entered this place, even if their strength increased, it would not have been as fast as Roy!
After discovering this, Roy could not help but rejoice. He had really made the right choice in creating this perfect T-Virus.
It was not without reason that middle-rank demons were stronger than low-rank demons. Even middle-rank demons who were not known for their physical strength could train their bodies to be strong in such a high-gravity environment.
Now that he was in the middle Abyss, Roy did not dare to fly around. After all, this was not the upper Abyss, and he could encounter middle-rank demons at any time. Although Roy was confident that he could rely on Bloodlust and the Dark-Dark Fruit to fight against ordinary middle-rank demons, his main task now was to find a place of refinement, not to find middle-rank demons to fight.
His night vision was already working, and the dim light around him could no longer block Roy's vision. Roy began to explore with Fat Tiger.
Without the inheritance of demon soul knowledge, Roy did not know what the so-called place of refinement looked like or where it was, so he could only explore it by himself. At this time, Roy felt that it would be great if he could meet other demons who came down from the upper Abyss and were also looking for a place of refinement. This way, he could at least follow behind them and save a lot of trouble.
As Roy continued to move forward, the figures of some middle-rank demons gradually appeared. The behavior of these middle-rank demons fighting and hunting in the wilderness was not much different from that of the upper Abyss. If there was any difference, it was that the combat methods of these middle-rank demons had changed. They no longer relied solely on physical combat but began to use magic power.
Roy observed the battles between two middle-rank demons from afar and found that flames were the most frequently used power among middle-rank demons. They either spat out flames from their mouths to burn their opponents or attached flames to their claws to fight at close range.
However, although the middle-rank demons that Roy observed already knew how to use magic power to fight, the magic they used seemed to be very shallow. At least, Roy did not see spells like Xeron, such as Flame Explosion, Meteor Shower, and so on.
When observing the fourth battle between middle-rank demons, Roy might have been too close, or perhaps the victorious middle-rank demon had a keen sense of smell, causing Roy to be discovered!
When the middle-rank demon ran in Roy's direction, Roy even thought that his first battle after entering the middle Abyss was inevitable. However, just as he was about to face the enemy with Fat Tiger, he found that the middle-rank demon suddenly stopped a few meters away from him.
This middle-rank demon was taller than Roy, and his appearance was rather strange. He only had a demon horn in the middle of his forehead and no wings on his back, but he had four arms. He seemed to have used magic power on his arms, causing his four arms to have raging flames, and he looked quite awe-inspiring.
After stopping, the demon sniffed and smelled Roy's scent, and then his eyes revealed a disappointed look.
He said in a rough voice in the demon language to Roy, who was on guard against him. "You're going in the wrong direction … The place of refinement is over there …"
As he spoke, he raised one of his four arms and pointed in a direction at Roy.
After speaking, the demon left without looking back.
There was no battle? Roy was a little stunned. Although he knew that the intelligence of middle-rank demons was higher than that of low-rank demons, he had never thought that a demon would 'kindly' give him directions!
It seems like this middle Abyss is a little different from what I imagined! Roy unconsciously swung his tail and pondered. Shouldn't middle-rank demons directly rush up and bully low-rank demons when they encounter them? Also, how did he know that I was going to the place of refinement? Is it just like this for me, or is it like this for all low-rank demons that enter this world?
With this doubt, Roy turned around and moved in the direction the demon pointed. Since the other party did not attack him, it was impossible for him to deceive him. The direction of the place of refinement should be right.
After moving forward for more than two hours, Roy realized that there must be a reason why the middle-rank demon gave up on attacking him and gave him directions. Because …
This was because Roy had witnessed a battle, a battle between a middle-rank demon and a low-rank demon!
It was a low-rank demon. There was no doubt about it. Roy noticed it at a glance. When Roy saw this low-rank demon, he was running for his life, and three middle-rank demons were chasing after him.
The low-rank demon did not escape too far before they caught up. The three middle-rank demons pressed him to the ground and cruelly tore him into several pieces. Then in order to seize his soul, the three middle-rank demons fought with each other again.
This scene made Roy realize that it was not that middle-rank demons would not attack low-rank demons, but that there was something about the low-rank demon that caused the middle-rank demons to attack him!
With caution, Roy circled around the battlefield of the three middle-rank demons and continued toward the place of refinement.
This time, Roy did not walk for long before he faintly saw … something in the distance!
Roy could not care less and flew up with Fat Tiger. After rushing forward for a distance, Roy finally saw the appearance of the thing.
It was a building! A typical demon-style building!
Unlike the altar where the summoning formation was located, this building occupied a rather large area. Looking down from above, Roy found that this building looked a bit like a huge stadium … No, to be precise, it looked a bit like the ancient Roman Colosseum. A pitch-black wall was the main body of the building, and there were a total of six openings on the circular wall. Each opening was a gate carved into a demon head, and the open mouth of the demon head was the entrance.
Other parts of the wall were engraved with shimmering demon runes. These runes were similar to those used in the summoning magic formation. Roy could see many middle-rank demons wandering around the building, but when they tried to approach, they would be sent flying by a sudden flash of black light.
This seemed to be a … barrier! It was protecting something in the wall.
The center of the encirclement looked empty, and there was only a medium-sized pool in it. Although the light was dim, Roy could clearly see that the water in the pool was purplish-red, like the blood of demons, and there were a few low-rank demons soaking in it …
Roy immediately understood that this was indeed a place of refinement!
